Water Memory, Part One: Macro-Memory

by Craig Hoffman on Monday, February 8, 2010

How is it that water can retain the memory of something that has been dissolved in it- even if that something has been filtered out? In Part One of my Water Memory series, we will explore Macro-Memory, aka homeopathic resonance, and the chemical property responsible for it. The very same property that makes life possible!

What is this miraculous property? It is called hydrogen-bonding, and it is nothing short of a miracle. According to science, water should be a gas- not a liquid. Yet, this simple hydrogen-bond, the loose connection between adjoining water molecules, prevents it from becoming a gas. Known science says ‘water should not do this’ as it does not occur in similar fluids. Known science has also proven that bumble-bees cannot fly… Of course, this merely means Mother Nature knows more than current science- she always will.

This same property that prevents water from being a gas, also gives water a form of memory. Because there is also another form of water memory, I term this particular type, Macro-Memory. This is because it depends on many interconnected water molecules working in unison, behaving more like a macromolecule. To understand Macro-Memory, we first need to understand what causes hydrogen-bonding and also what happens when something is dissolved in water.

Hydrogen-bonding is the result of water being a dipole molecule- that is, it has two poles. This means that on the physical molecule, some areas have a positive electrical charge while other areas have a negative electrical charge. Just as a pile of small magnets (each with a north and south pole) would all connect together into a big clump, water molecules connect to one another. Specifically it is the oxygen atom of the water molecule that maintains the negative charge and two hydrogen atoms that maintain the positive charge. An oxygen atom is also much, much larger than a hydrogen atom. In this way, the positively charged hydrogen atoms of water molecules are attracted to and become loosely attached to the large oxygen atom, with lots of connecting space, of other water molecules.

We think of water as simply being H2O, but really water is only water when two or more molecules are bound together in hydrogen-bonds.

Now that we understand hydrogen-bonding is a result of water being a dipole molecule, we can also understand what happens when something is dissolved in water. Let us use common table salt as an example.

Common table salt has the chemical formula NaCl, sodium chloride. It is one sodium atom bound to one chlorine atom. Most of the time salt is a solid, forming a lovely crystalline structure. It is beyond the scope of this article to discuss ionic bonds, the phenomenon that allows the sodium and chlorine to join together. Let us just say for this discussion that sodium, having no electrical charge, gives up an electron to the chlorine who wants it more. Since sodium lost an electron (which has a negative electrical charge), the sodium now has a positive charge and is chemically written as Na+. Since the chlorine molecule now has the extra electron, it now has a negative charge, Cl-. We know what happens when something has a positive charge and something has a negative charge, do we not? They attract, and this particular bond as a result of this attraction is called an ionic bond. This ionic bond was explained in a series of steps, but truthfully the sodium is never without the electron as it shares it with the chlorine. However, the above explanation will help you better understand what happens when salt is dissolved in water.

Water begins to penetrate the crystalline structure of the bulk salt, separating the individual molecules. Then it begins to work its way in between the sodium and the chlorine that make up the individual molecules. As mentioned above, the chlorine has a high affinity for the electron, so as the water works its way between the sodium and the chlorine, the chlorine keeps the shared electron. Now we no longer have salt, but two separate ions, Na+ and Cl-. One would tend to think that the Na+ and Cl- would immediately want to come back together because of their opposite charges, but they cannot sense each others’ charge because water is an insulator. Being an insulator means it does not allow for the ready transfer or sharing of electrons. This insulating layer of water that immediately surrounds the newly formed ions, is termed hydration.

Do you find it interesting that a water molecule has both a positive and a negative electrical charge and does not conduct electricity? I do. Now, let us look at how Macro-Memory works.

Water as a dipole molecule, will not surround that which is dissolved in it randomly. For instance, Na+ has a positive charge, so it is the negatively charged oxygen atom of the water molecule that moves in close. Na+ has its own unique size and charge-density, so only a finite number of water molecules (parked oxygen first) can surround it. This first layer of water molecules to bond with a dissolved substance is called the ‘hydration layer’. Then, according to the dipole effect of hydrogen-bonding, other water molecules bond in turn with the water molecules that formed the hydration layer.

This entire bonding structure of the water surrounding the sodium ion, is unique to the sodium ion!

This phenomenon is the basis of Macro-Memory. The bonding structure of water surrounding something is unique to that something. And, when that something is no longer present, large parts of this bonding structure will remain. That is, until something else re-structures the water.

In homeopathy, it has been found that simply shaking a small vile containing such a ‘water structure’ with other non or loosely structured water, will cause the other water molecules to bond according to the predominant structure. This is how homeopathic remedies are created. Homeopathy has also proven that the immune system responds to this water structure as if the original structuring element (Na+ in the example above) were actually present. In this way a large immune response can be created without actually subjecting the patient to the original structuring element.

“Water has a structural memory and a structural variability, and because of this it can store acquired information over a long period of time and hand it over to the body.”

Engler & Kokoschinegg, 1988

Unfortunately, most of the water we drink today either presently contains harmful pollutants or very recently contained them. The problem with Macro-Memory is that fairly large portions of these unique bonding structures are present in the water we drink, even after these pollutants have been removed- so much for filtration. As homeopathy has shown us, the immune system responds to these unique bonding structures whether or not the original structuring element is actually present. Do you think the immune system might be more effective if its energies were focused on actual problems?

So, how do we erase Macro-Memory? It seems the longer water has bonded in a particular structure, the more apt it is to re-bond in that same way, even if momentarily altered (a Micro-Memory effect). Such is the case with standard purification. Distillation removes most Macro-Memory, but the re-condensed water immediately picks up a new structure based on the construction materials within the machine, mostly metals and plastics. Have you ever tasted distilled water? It generally has a metallic and plastic taste. A similar scenario emerges from Reverse Osmosis devices.

The most reliable method for erasing Macro-Memory, is also the method used by Mother Nature- the spiraling vortex action in fast-flowing rivers and streams. This same natural process is mimicked in my [Vo/Im] technology found in the InClean Water GOLD series and the AquaLiv HOME system, both available at InCleanHealth.com/water-filters.

Coincidently, it was recently discovered that blood moves in a spiraling action in veins and arteries.

This vortex action simultaneously stretches the existing structure while adding energy. This added energy locks in the new structure, permanently erasing Macro-Memory.

Stay tuned for Water Memory, Part Two: Micro-Memory.

    So if some type of device/water machine is able to micro cluster or break the molecule size structures down to 5-8 molecule size structures using some type of electrolysis, then would most of the macro memory be reduced? I’ve heard of a water Ionizer company that talks about micro-clustering their water to the 5-8 molecule size. If this could be verified then perhaps we would have some Macro memory erased water?

    Also regarding your graphics on your “Hydration Cells” looking at the Cl example, you are showing the Negative Oxygen side of the H2O molecule butted up against the Negative Cl ? Shouldn’t the Positive Hydrogen side of the H2O molecule be butted up for the positive negative attraction? Why do you show it reversed? What keeps the same polarities facing each other? Just Curious? Sorry You are right I was looking at the H2O molecule wrong, 2 hydrogen and 1 large Oxygen.

    • When the primary cluster size reaches 5-8 molecules, yes, almost all macro-memory would be erased. However, electrolysis does not reduce cluster size this low. The lowest I’ve seen, based on NMR data, suggests 12+. This would still account for a substantial amount of macro-memory erasure.

      The problem with electrolysis is that even if it could erase all macro-memory, it makes a royal mess of micro-memory. Look at it this way. Water is a cassette tape. Natural energies are like music. Electrolysis is akin to waving a big magnet over the cassette tape. Is that going to add to the beautiful music or merely jumble and destroy what’s there?

      My research indicates that it would be better to retain the micro-memory of previously filtered contaminates than expose the body to the jumbled information left after electrolysis. The jumbled information heavily distorts the human energy field. A similar distortion occurs when a cell phone is held to one’s head.

      Anything that deviates from Mother Nature’s harmonies ultimately weakens the human body.

    This article really helped me connect some missing information about water I had. Looking forward to the next one. My question is, do Ionizers erase any Macro memory at all?

    • Unfortunately, they do not. You see, water by itself does not conduct electricity so ionizers rely on the dissolved substances within water to function.

      When electricity is applied to the electrodes an electrical potential is created between the electrodes the pulls the dissolved substances into a line forming a virtual wire. The water molecules that are adjoining the dissolved substances nearest the electrodes are then broken apart by the electricity.

      This process does break apart larger 50 to 400-molecule sized structures into 15 to 50-molecule sized structures. However, in order for Macro-Memory to be considered 95% erased, water should have no larger than 15-molecule sized structures. For 100% assurance, water should have no larger than 6-molecule structures.
