Scientists challenging dominant paradigms are either ignored or attacked
by the scientific mainstream. This book, however, contains a selection
of scientific papers presented at the two last GIRI meetings
(International Research Group on Very Low Dose and High Dilution
Effects). The majority of these papers present results performed with
succussed high dilutions (homeopathic dilutions), even beyond the
Avogrado number. All presented models are classified, and their
interpretation is possible either in the mechanistic paradigm or in an
information paradigm. This new field of research introduces new
scientific concepts which are supported by experimental results.
Furthermore, this nascent science is totally concerned with living
organisms and, as such, it becomes necessary to define `information'
brought by non-molecular high dilutions. This book presents
brain-storming work of this research group and is one of the starting
points of a scientific evolution.
