Abstract
Background Every living organism is an open system operating far from thermodynamic equilibrium
and exchanging energy, matter and information with an external environment. These
exchanges are performed through non-linear interactions of billions of different biological
components, at different levels, from the quantum to the macro-dimensional. The concept
of quantum coherence is an inherent property of living cells, used for long-range
interactions such as synchronization of cell division processes. There is support
from recent advances in quantum biology, which demonstrate that coherence, as a state
of order of matter coupled with electromagnetic (EM) fields, is one of the key quantum
phenomena supporting life dynamics. Coherent phenomena are well explained by quantum
field theory (QFT), a well-established theoretical framework in quantum physics. Water
is essential for life, being the medium used by living organisms to carry out various
biochemical reactions and playing a fundamental role in coherent phenomena.
Methods Quantum electrodynamics (QED), which is the relativistic QFT of electrodynamics,
deals with the interactions between EM fields and matter. QED provides theoretical
models and experimental frameworks for the emergence and dynamics of coherent structures,
even in living organisms. This article provides a model of multi-level coherence for
living organisms in which fractal phase oscillations of water are able to link and
regulate a biochemical reaction. A mathematical approach, based on the eigenfunctions
of Laplace operator in hyper-structures, is explored as a valuable framework to simulate
and explain the oneness dynamics of multi-level coherence in life. The preparation
process of a homeopathic medicine is analyzed according to QED principles, thus providing
a scientific explanation for the theoretical model of “information transfer” from
the substance to the water solution. A subsequent step explores the action of a homeopathic
medicine in a living organism according to QED principles and the phase-space attractor's
dynamics.
Results According to the developed model, all levels of a living organism—organelles, cells,
tissues, organs, organ systems, whole organism—are characterized by their own specific
wave functions, whose phases are perfectly orchestrated in a multi-level coherence
oneness. When this multi-level coherence is broken, a disease emerges. An example
shows how a homeopathic medicine can bring back a patient from a disease state to
a healthy one. In particular, by adopting QED, it is argued that in the preparation
of homeopathic medicines, the progressive dilution/succussion processes create the
conditions for the emergence of coherence domains (CDs) in the aqueous solution. Those
domains code the original substance information (in terms of phase oscillations) and
therefore they can transfer said information (by phase resonance) to the multi-level
coherent structures of the living organism.
Conclusions We encourage that QED principles and explanations become embodied in the fundamental
teachings of the homeopathic method, thus providing the homeopath with a firm grounding
in the practice of rational medicine. Systematic efforts in this direction should
include multiple disciplines, such as quantum physics, quantum biology, conventional
and homeopathic medicine and psychology.
