Prof. Marc Henry's observation is very clear: "When we talk about water, we raise philosophical, scientific and religious questions, it is a cross-cutting issue. He starts with the popular phrase: "Water is life". "Living spaces are made of cells. And a cell is water. We are used to looking at things from a physical point of view, by their mass. But one of the characteristics of life is movement. All living species have a flow of water through them," says the professor. "This is not a coincidence, it is because the water brings something with it. That something is life. If the water flow stops, you are dead. Our cells are 99% water. The flow of water is transported through the body by the capillaries, the system that feeds the cells: "This flow is two microns per second.
This means that 622,000 litres of water flow through your capillaries every day. Whereas the blood flow is only 8000 litres! Hence the importance of staying well hydrated - not herbal teas or Alsatian wine, even though that is very good - but of drinking water."
To choose a good water, from which you can drink two to three litres a day, mainly between meals, Marc Henry has his criteria: "It must be non-carbonated and as little mineralised as possible". He explains this choice: "Water heals by what it carries away, not by what it brings. If you choose a calcium or magnesium water, it is a mistake. Carbonated water helps you to digest better, but the question is: do you have to eat so much? The more you put in the water, the less it can do its job. Mineral and/or carbonated water is good water, provided you don't overdo it. Migraines are often a sign of dehydration. But he reassures us: "Even if you have been poorly hydrated for 50 years, it is not too late.
What about beneficial herbal teas? "At 70°C, water loses all its qualities. So, for the herbal tea, it is the active principles of the plant that are beneficial. As for the container, Marc Henry recommends glass: "The only valid containers for water are glass and ceramic. Plastic is not great, but it is more practical. High-density polyethylene is already better, and it's still better than metal.
Dynamising water
It is also possible to dynamise water [usually by creating a vortex] in order to reinforce its role in assimilating nutrients and eliminating toxins. To find out which dynamisation is most suitable, the professor gives a tip: "When you have drunk a glass of water and you feel like drinking a second one, the system is good. And this system will not necessarily suit your neighbour. I recommend either the osmosis machine or heating the water to 'disinform' it, then informing it by dynamising it. He disapproves of the magnetic stirrer, "because it works on five hertz, it's like plugging your water into the internet. How do you select what the water will pick up? This is to be avoided. The dynamisation system must be mechanical.
The interest of Ions
In cells, there are also ions. "The first question a doctor should ask is "What are you drinking?" And the second question: "Do you have enough ions?", because after water, it is the ions that are found in the cells at 62%. If you have a problem with ions, you can be ill. The three ions that allow you to live are sodium ion, chloride ion and bicarbonate. Inside the cell, the main ions found are potassium (55%) and trace elements (20%)," but it is not easy to manage these ions: "If I am iron deficient, the doctor prescribes iron, but it is a disaster. In the intestine, iron competes with zinc and copper. It is dangerous to play with ions and to self-medicate. The only way to manage the ions is to take them all at the same time. But Marc Henry is not a doctor: "I don't start from the principle that you are ill, but from knowing how to stay healthy". When we think of healing with water, we also think of homeopathy. "Homeopathy is taking a poison that can be violent, and diluting it until there is nothing left. You are given this nothing, but healings can occur. My teacher, Raymond Devos, used to say: "If I give you one time nothing, it's nothing, if I give you two times nothing, it's still nothing, but if I give you three times nothing, you'll be able to have something and for cheap! It clicked in my mind." [A French wordplay where "three times nothing" is an expression meaning something is cheap]
The press and homeopathy
Professor Marc Henry regrets that a large part of the press, and in particular the magazine Science et Vie [a well known science popularization magazine], does not recognise the virtues of homeopathy. "In the 1980s, Jacques Benveniste (a doctor and immunologist) was called a swindler because he showed that it was possible to resuscitate a heart, not with the necessary molecule, but with the dilution of this molecule. In the United Kingdom, Prince Charles supports this method and it is in fact more developed across the Channel. He recommended reading Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843, a physician who participated in the development of homeopathy), whose postulate is that the internal workings of the body cannot be observed. "A sick body manifests a spectrum of symptoms. This set of symptoms is a medical reality, not a disease. His observation is powerful: there is a material primary force and an immaterial dynamic reaction.
The speaker presents a 2005 medical study entitled "The end of homeopathy", while the results of the same study show that some homeopathic treatments are effective. The bias of scientific studies is said to originate in their financing: "Since the election of Jacques Chirac [ca. 1995], an American-style research system has developed. I have written 20 projects, none of which have been validated, because the committee of experts that decides on subsidies considers that it is of no interest. I am looking for private funds, business angels, to invite them to invest in homeopathy, for example.
For him, there is no longer any need for proof: "When you shake two mirrors in front of each other, light appears. It can only come from the vacuum. If the vacuum creates light, it is because there is energy in the vacuum. Nature exploits this vacuum. And the theory that says there is energy in the vacuum is quantum physics. According to him, homeopathy is slow to be recognised because it uses quantum physics and few people have mastered it.
If you have ever taken a homeopathic treatment, you have noticed that the doctor starts with a low dilution. The more you dilute it, the more effective it is, the more specific the information becomes. To ingest it, however, it is sugar that is used, not water. "The water molecule is H2O, sugar is H2O plus a carbon atom. Sugar prevents the information from being scrambled, which could be the case with water." I did some tests to verify my claims. We used the corona effect which is the blue light around high voltage lines for example, that is when you put the material under voltage, it emits a little light. In 2014, I was very ill. I benefited from the medical diagnostic device generating a light spectrum after a finger analysis. I treated myself with homeopathy for a year. If you analyse the light beam, you can see that it had an effect.
The physical element of mass does not define life, according to Professor Marc Henry, it is more a question of electromagnetism. "We are made of water and ions and the electromagnetic waves from mobile phones, for example, compete with these frequencies. This is a danger, because we are sensitive to electromagnetic fields via our body water. But this observation also has a positive side: "We can imagine treating with waves, with music. We have talked about energising water so that it becomes more nourishing or more capable of eliminating our waste. You can say words, the blessing of water in church is a serious thing, something is happening to the water. It's not witchcraft, it's 21st century science. We are water beings, with all that that entails. There is electromagnetic energy in the vacuum that allows us to structure ourselves in what is called the coherence domain, which is the information medium in water. Although water does not heal itself, it is capable of carrying information: "It is estimated that a cell can carry 10 kilobytes. You are made up of 1013 cells. That's 370 petabytes. This corresponds to seven centuries of full HD video that your body is capable of recording via its cell membranes!"
Box 1 - Quinton plasma
Quinton plasma is seawater used to treat mineral deficiencies. Intravenous and subcutaneous injections have been practised for many years in France. This has been prohibited since 1981. "Injections are useful for people with back problems. You have to be careful about where it comes from, whether it is taken from the open sea. Doctors are no longer allowed to do this medical intervention, some do it under your own responsibility.
Box 2 - The intervention of Viviane Schaller
For the past five years, Viviane Schaller has been sued because of her fight for better screening and treatment of Lyme patients. "The official screening tests called Elisa are not good. This is what I have been trying to denounce for years, which led to the closure of my laboratory. At present, the health authorities are hesitant, our work with Professor Luc Montagnier (Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2008) is still contested, I don't know why. However, all the evidence is there. Tests are excellent, they could help doctors to know what you have and how to treat you. Professor Perronne has written a very good book on the subject. The former laboratory director may apply the water memory theory to Lyme disease testing: "Professor Montagnier has been given the opportunity to open a laboratory in Geneva. He uses the properties of capturing electromagnetic signals from bacteria and viruses for diagnosis and treatment. In view of the enthusiasm and questions that still surround the issue of Lyme disease, a dinner-debate will soon be organised by Heb'di [the online magazine which organized the event and published this summary].
