Glass, atmosphere and homeopathic remedies

[Annemieke Cloosterman]

It looks like glass and the atmosphere play an important role in making
homeopathic remedies.

'A key feature of any difference between water before and after its use
in preparing homeopathic dilutions is likely to be the vigorous shaking
(succussion) that must be carried out between successive dilutions, and
which may produce significantly increased concentrations of silicate,
sodium and bicarbonate ions by dissolution of the glass tubes and
increases in nanobubbles and redox molecules from the atmosphere,
respectively'.

Hi!

"May" ???? concentrations of silicate and the others are quite easy to measure.
Is there a proof or not?

I dont think so , IMHO you can shake a bottle as often as you want without dissolving any measurable silicate!

Hi Peter

I don't know if there is real prove for that. Maybe it also works
without measurable molecules. In my understanding it is one of many
hypotheses that try to explain the working of homeopathic remedies.
But I must say that I find it a very interesting one.

From the same website:
"It should be noted that dissolved silica is capable of forming solid
particles with complementary structures (that is, imprints) to
dissolved solutes and macromolecules and such particles
will 'remember' these complementary structures essentially forever".

That could mean that silica is a very important factor in the whole
process. To me that would make a lot of sense. Silica as the
structure of information as carbon is the structure of organic life.
Translated to the periodic table that would be the third row,
communication according to Scholten.
For me communication falls under the same archetype as information,
interaction, the mind and so on.

And to take it another step further, I think the third column
(trying, searching) also falls under that same concept.
In that row are also the Lanthanides and my personal opinion is
that their importance is huge and only increasing.

Well, one thing seems to lead to another in my brain. I am very aware
that this is only speculation, but it just had to get out
