The roots of homeopathy can be traced back to the time of Hippocrates around 460 – 370 BC. Cases of poisoning were treated with diluted solutions of water containing the poison itself. Even in extremely diluted solutions it was recognized that the water took on the characteristics of the toxin, and it was thought that the greater the dilution, the greater its efficacy. The water was believed to essentially copy the molecular information of the substance (toxin) and it was this copied information that acted as a cure. In 1988 French scientist Jaques Benveniste discovered that medicine diluted with water to the point where the medicine was no longer clinically detectable was just as effective as the undiluted medicine. Curious about the idea that water can copy information Dr. Masaru Emoto, an alternative health practitioner, decided to take high resolution photographs of ice crystals from frozen water frozen at -20 degrees Celsius. Believing, as modern quantum physicists do, that “Existence is vibration” he expanded the experiments by first exposing the unfrozen water to sound vibrations, in the form of music and spoken words. Tap water will not form crystals because the chlorine destroys the molecular structure found in natural water. By contrast, any form of natural water (hot springs, glaciers, lakes, rivers above and below ground) easily produced crystal of varying quality. Emoto's book The Hidden Messages In Water shows the photographs revealing amazing crystal formations that lead him to claim that water responds, and arranges itself to, sound vibration as well as written forms of communication. Through various controlled, and uncontrolled experiments, using natural, spring and distilled water he exposed samples to classical music, group meditation, prayers, and words written on paper (themes of love and gratitude being the most effective) which yielded beautiful, well-formed concentric crystals. Water exposed to heavy metal music and derogatory words failed to produce anything but distorted malformed images, some of which actually bore resemblance to the structure of cancer cells. Because water not only copies but also retains information, Emoto posits that water possesses memory. At Fujiwara Dam a Shinto priest's incantation over the water cleared the water considerably. A group meditation at another lake in Japan prevented an annual outbreak of pungent algae from forming. This led Emoto to conclude that the “energy of human consciousness and words... thoughts have the power to change water and other substances.” He began to call water the “master listener” - able to perceive, absorb and reflect the vibrations of the world. He also documented cases and took photos of crystals to show that water also changes in response to a person's gaze, mood and even an individual's physical health. He further realized that water exposed to any stimuli retains the new structural information long after the stimuli have been removed, thus showing the vast and long-lasting effects of pollution. Emoto believes that due to these attributes, not only can water be used to heal us, but it also has the power to cleanse and regenerate itself. He makes the radical claim that our emotional happiness is linked to the state of water on our planet and, like Schauberger before him, Emoto emphasizes the importance of ensuring that water retains its vitality by allowing it to constantly flow. Natural water circulates throughout the planet in the form of clouds, rain, lakes and rivers, and seeps down to become groundwater which eventually re-enters the ocean and it is this constant movement that allows it to absorb the information from minerals and salts that gives it life supporting properties. Exposing water to high pressures in long rigid pipes causes its memory retaining structures to break down, resulting in stale depleted water. Water must remain free to be vibrant and of real benefit to us. Emoto's findings have implications for medical treatment, environmental policies, political agendas, water purification treatments, and global economic prosperity. Blending the mystery with science has begun in the practice of purifying water reserves using ultrasound vibrations at frequencies opposite to those of the unwanted toxins. And Joan Davis at the Zurich Technical University has demonstrated how we can counter the effects of our current treatment of water by introducing small ice crystals into water which allows the minerals to be retained and thus results in the water growing healthier crops. On a personal level Dr. Emoto recommends blessing your water before you drink or use it, in order to cleanse it. In his experiments the most concentric crystals were formed when the words "I love you" and Thank you" were spoken.

This month a study was published in Environmental Research Letters that revealed truly massive amounts of groundwater stored under the surface of the African continent. Though not all the water can be extracted the total volume of water mapped is about 660 000 cubic kilometres - 100 times more than "the annual renewable freshwater resources" of Africa, and 20 times greater than all the freshwater lakes. Lying in rock basins, between layers of rock, or in some cases held within the rocks themselves, most of the large underground reserves or aquifers have been found in Northern Africa particularly Libya, Sudan, Egypt, Chad and Algeria. They are mostly the result of rain or snow that fell in the region about 5 000 years ago and seeped through the surface to the sedimentary and more porous rocks below. On a continent where 300 000 000 people lack access to safe drinking water and only about 5% of arable land is irrigated this is an incredible discovery. Access to clean water is the key to all forms of social development, through which communities' health improves, economies strengthen, education is prioritized and the production of goods becomes possible. Several concerns are already being voiced. Conventional large-scale drilling and pumping of the biggest reserves poses political and environmental questions. The groundwater is essentially a non-renewable resource - just like oil, coal, or silver. When it's all gone, that's it. The potential for mismanagement is also worrying. There are too many stereotypical but tragically true cases of corrupt leaders forsaking the needs of the people for profit, partnered by unscrupulous multinational corporation. Coca Cola, Pepsi and Danone are in a water war to corner the bottled water market of Mexico - another country where due to it's population distribution an alarming number of people lack adequate water supplies. Coca Cola's supremacy in the soda market was largely due to the unheard of number of concessions it was allowed by the government to utilize Mexico's groundwater supplies and rivers. The fact that former president Vincente Fox was also a former president of Coca Cola Mexico raised questions as to the relationship between government and the beverage corporation. A further issue is the removal of vegetation and forests that often occurs when large scale extractions take place which would ultimately be detrimental and offset any short term water gains. Land devoid of plant life is unable to remain stable and precious top soil can be lost to wind and run-off after rains, nor is it able to trap water and create the very aquifers that have been found. For many, the huge amounts of water offer hope against the constant vulnerability they face in harsh and changeable climates. Whatever is to be done with the water it's clear that a great deal of thought needs to go into the planning, with the long-term needs of both the environment and the end users in mind. A good start would be to make all processes as transparent as possible, and to acknowledge our connection to all species, nations and the planet through water.
