The memory of water

(Submitted by Graciela Mattei, Argentina)

Does water have memory? Can it retain an “imprint” of energies to which it has been exposed? This theory was first proposed by the late French immunologist Dr. Jacques Benveniste, as a way of explaining how homeopathy works. Benveniste’s theory has continued to be championed by some and disputed by others.

If Benveniste is right, just think what that might mean. More than 70 percent of our planet is covered in water. The human body is made up of 60 percent water; the brain, 70 percent; the lungs, nearly 90 percent. Our energies might be traveling out of our brains and bodies and into those of other living beings of all kinds through imprints on this magical substance. The oceans and rivers and rains might be transporting all manner of information throughout the world.

I like to believe that the good doctor was correct - if for no other reason, because the phrase “the memory of water” makes my heart leap up and spin.
