Currently considerable attention is being focused on the study of the structural properties of water and the possibility of data transfer through water. A lot of controversial information we may find concerning memory of water. According to the viewpoint that has shaped, the phenomena observed during the experiments are determined by the processes of clusters and clathrates formation, mainly at the atoms of admixtures. The task of introducing these notions into the scope of contemporary scientific thinking requires, first of all, a set of probative and reproducible experimental facts. Water is a complex subject of study, and its properties depend on a great number of factors; this requires that several independent techniques should be used in parallel, and that new informative methods for study of water properties should be developed and introduced into practice.

The high degree of informativeness of the Dynamic Electrophotonic Analysis based on EPC/GDV method that is applied for studying liquid-phase subjects was first demonstrated during the study of the glow of microbiological cultures, blood of healthy people and cancer patients, reaction of blood reactions to allergens, homeopathic remedies of 30С potency, and very small concentrations of various salts. The differences between the glow parameters of the NaCl, KCl, NaNO3 and KNO3, solutions and distilled water are observed until the 2-15 dilution; however, the dynamic trends of the 2-15 dilution and distilled water still have different directions.
Great interest has been roused by the studies directed at detecting the differences between the glow of natural and synthetic essential oils with identical chemical composition. The oils were analyzed in order to detect possible differences between oils that were obtained by means of natural and synthetic processes, between oils of organic and regular origin; between oils obtained in different climatic conditions and extracted by means of different methods; between oils with different optical activity; between fresh oils and oils that were oxidized by various methods. The combinations of oils under study did not show any statistically significant differences when analyzed by means of the gas chromatography method.
When the EPC/GDV-parameters are measured for liquid subjects, a drop of the liquid is suspended at 2-3 mm distance above the glass surface of the optical window of the device, and the glow from the meniscus pf the liquid is registered. Time dynamics of the GDV-parameters was measured by means of the commercially produced device “GDV Camera”, which is manufactured by KTI company, St. Petersburg. In order to estimate the statistical reproducibility of the data, no less than 10 independent measurements were taken for each type of the water, whereupon the results were averaged.
Study of water should be done with great precaution: water with salts changes its properties in the process of interaction with air after opening the bottle. This process is well-known in wine industry, but the same “aging” we may see for water. As an example fig.1 demonstrates change of time dynamics of electrophotonic parameters for two water samples just after opening the bottle and 4 hours later.
The presented data show that right after the opening of the bottle the glow of water is characterized by great variability between the measurements and by considerable increase of the values of parameters, with two distinct phases; 2 minutes after the opening the results become stabilized. For the samples of water that were taken 4 hours after, a rise can be observed during the first 40 seconds; after that the parameters remain stable. The amplitude of glow for the distilled water is considerably lower and practically does not change in time.

1,2 – Samples of water taken right after the opening the bottle.
3,4 – Samples of water taken 4 hours after the opening the bottle.
5 – Distilled water. Vertical lines represent the level of variation between 10 independent samples of tested water.

Developed approach allows to distinguish the influence of the human consciousness on the electrophotonic parameters of water. The aim of the study was to investigate the possible remote mental influence of a healer on water samples from different distances and in different modes. Experiments were being performed in many independent sessions from 2001. Numerous experiments demonstrated that mental influence results in statistically significant changes of the EPC parameters of water that remain intact for a long time. These results are not of purely gnoseological importance, but of a real practical value as well, because they prove that the quality of food depends on the mental mood of the person that prepared it. As the saying goes, “poison given by a wise man is better than manna given by an enemy”.
Let us look to the results of two experiments.
In agreed days five plastic 1-liter bottles of tap water were placed at 10 a.m. at the table in the experimental room of Saint Petersburg University. Every bottle was labeled with color strip. Bottles were left intact till 4 p.m. when measurements of electrophotonic parameters of water samples from every bottle were undertaken.
German healer Christos Drossinakis visiting St. Petersburg has proved his ability to influence water. Later he performed mental influence within four days (from eight agreed days) from Japan and Germany at 12 a.m. for 10 min to bottle with particular color strip randomly chosen by him. Researchers performing measurements were unaware neither of the influence performed no of the target bottle. So the experimental session was organized in accordance with twin blind study design.
Significant changes in electrophotonic parameters of water drops between samples from different bottles were found only in two days. This difference was statistically significant and reproducible in successive measurements. It was days of Drossinakis’ influence from Japan. In other six days no significant reproducible difference between samples was found.
Fig. 2 demonstrates dynamical curves of water electrophotonic parameters. In this case curves for samples NN 4 and 5 have different behavior compared with other samples. For sample N 5 subsequent measurements revealed interesting behavior:  at the first measurement the curve had a strong variation, while the same sample, measured 10 min after, demonstrated behavior, very similar to the curve of sample N 4. This type of curve was repeated in all other subsequent measurements and after the third measurement the curve became quite reproducible.

In another experiment a sample of drinking water was divided to several vials. To one a drop of eucalyptus oil was added, two others were influenced by Russian healers from 1 m distance. As we see from the graphs (fig.3) intentional human influence was stronger than the impact of oil added to water.

CONCLUSION
All given data may be considered only as preliminary. These are rather observations than strict experiments. The development of the protocol of a randomized blind experiment with strict control of all conditions is required. At the same time the obtained results, taking into account the pioneer work by W. Tiller and Italian physicists, is an evidence of the role of water as a means of information storage. The water structure varies under the effect of the directed human intention; this can be taken as a first working hypothesis. The second hypothesis is that structurized water affects the condition of space where the water sample is. And, finally, the structurized water affects the state of the organism of the person who drinks it, this is the third, and probably, the most important hypothesis. If we manage to prove these hypotheses experimentally, a new insights in  understanding of the world and health will open up.
The obtained data show that the electrophotonic method has high selectiveness and sensitivity when used for the study of liquid-phase objects, in particular, various types of water. The obtained information depends on the chemical composition of water, but the determining and the most curious dependency is the dependency on the structural composition of the liquid. The electrophotonic parameters are determined by the emission activity of the surface layer of the liquid, which depends on the presence of surface-active valences. This property is obviously determined by the structure of the near-surface clusters, which means that the electrophotonic method is one of the informative methods for study of structural-informational properties of liquids.

Water – The Great Mystery

Water

“Water is the driving force of all nature.”

“Just as with the film WHAT THE BLEEP, WATER shows us through science that our thoughts have an effect on our external reality. Imagine the possibilities when people realize their own potential for creativity. Films like this give me hope that there is an emergence of collective intelligence that can solve the problems of the world.”

This film is about water, the most amazing yet least studied substance. From times immemorial, scientists, philosophers and theologians tried to understand its explicit and implicit properties, which are phenomenal, beyond the common physical laws of nature.

Witness recent, breathtaking discoveries by researchers worldwide from Russia, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Israel, the USA, Britain, Austria, Japan, Argentina, China and Tibet.

The arguments expound upon unexpected and challenging assumptions enlightening many years of research to open humankind to new horizons, such as the applications of structured water in agriculture, or the use of water in treatment for the most serious diseases and more.

The Geography of the film spans the globe. The implications go beyond the solar system, suggesting that water has the ability to convey messages faster than light, perhaps linking water with the absolute. Water is so unique, and so profound, its miraculous properties are still awaiting to be discovered.

Pearl Laperla, USA

Biological Immunologist, CEO and Founder of Vironpearl Biotech. As a lifelong student of Ayurveda, Laperla believes that we are part of the environment. She founded VPB to offer hope to the suffering and to encourage focus on prevention of serious disease. She bases VPB on a “whole organic being paradigm” rather than a mechanical statistic. Logic alone shows that treating symptoms has nothing to do with regaining ones health. Today it is becoming more obvious that mammals are having a difficult time tolerating the toxic level of the environment. The studies of Gunther Enderlein and Antone Beauchamp further proves her point that disease is a process. A process that begins in the blood.
