Highly diluted and succussed solutions interact with solvatochromic dyes, indicating that changes in solvent and solute polarity could be related to their mechanism of action. It is not known, however, how the activity associated with succussed high dilutions is transferred to untreated water and what the limits of this process are.
The aims of the present study were to ascertain whether a succussed high dilution of phosphorus (1.5 × 1 M; Phos 30cH) seeded into a natural water source that fed a fjord and two connected lakes could propagate itself through the lake system (total volume 2200 m) and, moreover, whether the process could be tracked using solvatochromic dyes.
Samples of water were collected before and after seeding, at different times and places throughout the lake system. Controls comprised water taken from an untreated and adjacent, but independent, lake (1385 m).
Water samples taken up to 72 hours after the source treatment produced significant increases ( ≤ 0.03) in the absorbance of the solvatochromic dye methylene violet (MV), while samples from the control lake produced no changes.
The study indicates that activity associated with Phos 30c can propagate itself through large volumes of water, causing changes throughout a whole connected lake system, and that these changes can be tracked using the solvatochromic dye MV. This in turn means the use of homeopathic medicines in large volumes of drinking water, in farming and ecological contexts, now has the potential to be assessed with physico-chemical monitoring.
高度稀释和受激溶液与溶剂变色染料相互作用,表明溶剂和溶质极性的变化可能与其作用机制有关。然而,目前尚不清楚与受激高稀释相关的活性如何转移到未处理的水中,以及这个过程的限制是什么。
本研究的目的是确定磷(1.5×1 M;Phos 30cH)的受激高稀释液是否可以在注入到一个为峡湾和两个相连的湖泊供水的天然水源中,并在湖泊系统(总容积 2200 m)中自行传播,此外,该过程是否可以使用溶剂变色染料进行跟踪。
在注入后的不同时间和地点,从湖泊系统中采集水样本。对照组由取自未处理的、相邻但独立的湖泊(1385 m)的水组成。
在源处理后长达 72 小时采集的水样中,溶剂变色染料甲烯蓝(MV)的吸光度显著增加(≤0.03),而对照组的水样则没有变化。
该研究表明,与 Phos 30c 相关的活性可以在大量水中自行传播,导致整个连通的湖泊系统发生变化,并且可以使用溶剂变色染料 MV 来跟踪这些变化。这反过来意味着在家用水的大量使用、农业和生态环境中使用顺势疗法药物现在有可能通过物理化学监测进行评估。
