| There are many aspects in homeopathy and other
energy medicines that are poorly understood by science. This paper
deals with the use of biophotonics to give a probable explanation
about the modus operandi of homeopathic medicines. Starting with
the understanding that all living organisms are 'energy bodies',
the author has discussed latest research findings in the field of
biophotonics, kirlian technology, memory of water, bioluminicence
and piezoelectric phenomenon to give a new understanding about energy
medicine and transfer of 'therapeutic' information through homeopathic
remedies and other forms of energy medicine.
1. The Vital Force - between archaic
intuition and scientific reason
The complementary / alternative medicine is empirically known to
give very positive results. But there is still no coherent theory
which offers a unitary explanation regarding the mechanisms which
make these results possible. In spite of all the incontestable
progress of scientific knowledge, we still find ourselves in situations,
which make us describe the results of alternative medicine as "magical"
or "paranormal", "para-physical" or "para-psychical" and so on.
Most of the successes in complementary (non-allopathic) therapies,
among which homeopathy is the most important, fall in this
category.
Homeopathic practice regards the integrative and holistic nature
of the human being. For homeopathy, the physical body as well as
the spirit (mind, intellect) and the soul (emotion, affection) are
equally responsible for the ups and downs of one’s health. An intuitive
human attitude, whose roots are lost in illo tempore (ed-latin
for 'indeterminate past') and which deals with the preservation
of the unity / equilibrium of body and soul and spirit, in order
to maintain one’s health, is just starting to be adequately
understood.
The existence of this relationship is now well acknowledged, but
the real problem lies in accounting for and validating it within
the analytical instruments of scientific discourse. As Ioan Teleianu
noticed, referring to the specific processes in homeopathic treatment:
"The intimate mechanism which, unfortunately, is not able to satisfy
our whole need to understand any biological mechanism remains inexplicable"
[1993: 13]. Similarly, Anton Jayasuriya states: "There is no material
explanation up to this moment of the way in which these homeopathic
remedies work which is accepted by everyone, although there are
many medical proofs that homeopathic remedies have really cured
patients. Yet, the empirical descriptions don’t have scientific
validity. The Vital Force phenomenon, the central thesis
concerned with explaining health and illness, is a metaphysical
explanation that doesn’t fit with controlled trials in
simulated experiences" [1997: 34].
Fortunately, after two centuries of "tacit" (without scientific
explanation) functioning from its official birth, we can today connect
the very old intuition of homeopathic medicine and the very recent
scientific contributions of biophotonics in order to put together
"physics" (natural sciences) and "metaphysics" (humanistic sciences,
philosophy and religion especially), for understanding our archetypal
roots [Stanciulescu, 2003b]. These two connections now permit a
rational explanation of our own states of consciousness and of our
harmonious states of health: physical (biological), emotional (psychical)
and intellectual (logical).

A new integrative "science of light", of the invisible reality
defined by the "energetic-informational (EI) fields" hierarchy
– having BIOPHOTONICS (a very new science connecting biology and
theory / technology of lasers) as a first level [1] – will assume
the dignity of opening the human being towards the understanding
of his / her own becoming.
2. Our "being of light": Interdisciplinary
connections to homeopathy
Our religions have always indicated that 'we' are primarily a form
of energy, a part of the 'divine light'. But a human being is not
only metaphorically speaking a "being of light" (pure Intellect
and Energy). We could justify this statement with a complex of correlated
arguments. We would begin with the intuitive practices of "magic
medicine" (including, first, the old homeopathic practices) and
continue to the scientific contributions of (bio)physics and (bio)chemistry,
botany and zoology. We would then add to these the contributions
of various medical sciences and of biotechnology (biophotonics),
as well as to the fields of human sciences, such as philosophy,
psychology, semiotics, etc to understand our existence as energy
bodies.
In the context of the present study, we will mention some of the
most relevant arguments arising from these fields, to justify the
idea that the "Vital Force", the "field of life", or the "life principle",
postulated by homeopathy has an objective existence, as a bio(psycho)
field resonating inside and also outside the human body.
Each of the practical or theoretical arguments that we take into
consideration could be suggestively connected to a certain aspect
of homeopathic practices [2].
2.1. The intuitive / practical models of the human being’s energetic-informational
(EI) structure have been proposed from illo tempore('indeterminate
past'), namely:
Magical thinking – considered
that everything in this world is implicitly connected by the resonance
of a very special (universal) "soul". The Kirlian or electro(no)graphic technology, using electrical procedures
for amplifying the living body’s emission of light and for impressing
photosensitive paper, could prove the certitude that we are "full
of light", that "light-traps" of energy and information are present
everywhere in living bodies (cells, tissues, organs, organism).
It is enough to see the electronographies of a drop of water, of
a leaf or of a human finger (figure 1 a, b, c) [cf. Guja, 1993:
fig. 22, 11, 20], to understand that the archaic intuition was amazingly
true. In its different states, the "complex light" [3] is present
everywhere in the world, unifying every form / thing of the (living)
world by a "holographic resonance". It is exactly this "soul" and
this "resonance" that are activated by a high potency homeopathic
remedy, that permits a potency to keep the memory (information /
field) of a certain substantial substratum (minerals, plants, animal
products) and to transmit it to a human being through the correlated
homeopathic remedy.

of (bio)light of a: a) graphite plaque; b) drop of water;
c) leaf; d) dragon fly; e) human skin; f) human hand.
Mythical and esoteric thinking
proposed many names for the "cosmic energy"– the Polynesian
"mana", the Indian "prana" and Chinese "qi", the Egyptian "chu"
and "ba", the Latin "anima mundi" and "pneuma", the transcendental
"Universal Field" etc. [4]. In all cases, it was considered the
infinite reservoir of human energetic life resources – in terms
of a wonderful modern hermeneutics. For example: The "Universal
Field" gives rise to the fundamental force and matter fields, which
then generate the DNA molecule – the material expression of the
Unified Field, which creates and governs the flow of biological
intelligence in all the various levels of physiological organization"
[Nader, 1995: 2].
From the biophotonics perspective, we have already postulated that
such a "universal energy" could represent the synergy of the universal
bioluminescent / bioplasmatic field emitted by the "living substance"
present everywhere in the world [Stanciulescu, 2003b: 111]. Consequently,
this energy is both: Determined by the human complex activity (physical,
psychical and mental) and floating through different "nets" (micro-biostructures)
[Macovschi, 1969] – such as nadis / meridians, nervous system –
inside the human organism. Penetrating inside the human body, by
using different natural or stimulated procedures, beginning with
sleeping and finishing with spiritual procedures (meditation, praying,
etc.) or with technical ones (acupuncture, for example).
Homeopathic remedies could contribute to optimizing the interference
relationship between the "universal field" and the "individual field",
between "Brahman" and "Atman". For example, the good therapeutic
results, obtained by connecting a homeopathic high potency / remedy
and an acupuncture intervention proves – among other effects – that
a certain resonance can be holographically established between the
two types of radiation. The "point" (homeopathic remedy) and the
"universe" (the energetic potential of the living world) are connected
due to their resonance just as the "individual soul" is connected
to the "universal soul" of the world.
Religious conception of the human body,
soul, and spiritual unity could be assumed – in biophotonic
terms – as a relationship between the levels of the "light fields"
generated by our biological / physiological activity (figure 2a)
[Oldfield, Coghill, 1997: 223], by our emotional states (figure
2b) and by our mental involvement (figure 2c) [Guja, 1993: fig.
35b, 1a, d]. Such a relationship will be used by homeopathic therapy
[Vithoulkas, 1999: 65-66], acting at the complementary levels of
the human being predominantly by: substantial (biochemical), energetic
(electric and magnetic), and informational (photonic) effects.

healthy and ill cell; (b) elderly individual with Alzheimer’s disease

to the old age, together with right / left asymmetry and extended
inversions; (c) electronographic image of the pineal-pituitary complex
(the "third eye"), responsible for the super-sensorial activity
of the brain.
It is exactly this complementarity of the effects that biophotonics
involves. At the same time, we could appreciate that, by administering
a "unique remedy", the homeopath acts firstly – by the resonance
of this remedy’s waves – at the level of a "fundamental wave" (defined
by the harmony of the whole human personality, as an integrative
complex: body, soul, spirit). Secondly, if necessary, some other
"harmonic" remedies will be available for optimizing some particular
malfunctions of the physical and psychical activity respectively.
Unconventional (complementary) therapeutic
practices, beginning with "magic medicine"activating
different types of "symbolical therapies" (such as incantation,
prayer, etc.) and finishing with modern bioenergetic practices (such
as reiki, radiant technique, etc.) and homeopathy, have also described
(by the clear-vision of certain super-sensorial persons), the presence
of the seven "bodies of light"belonging to the human being (figure
3a) [cf. Brennan, 1993: 53]. Such intuitions can now be objectively
interpreted by a high computational technology as well (figure 3b).

Figure 3. The human body aura: a)
the "auric ovoid" and its seven levels: an intuitive representation;
b) the auric emission of a human subject taken with a normal camera
and belonging to a person in a very excited intellectual state;
a computational analysis of the "human aura" photograph above presented,
clearly suggested the presence of the seven energy-information (EI)
levels and their strong determination by a spiritual (mental / logical)
activity [5].
We may consider the presence of different levels of energy-information
of the human body as intuitive evidence that, when adjusted to a
specific level of frequency belonging to the human aura, to organs
or chakras, to tissues or to cells, etc., each type of potency will
have its properly differentiated effects, for its resonant level.
These specific remedies (corresponding to the different "harmonic
waves" of the body, soul, spirit, states of health / illness) must
be in specific resonance with the fundamental frequency of the unique
remedy which homeopathic practices prescribe.
