Scientists have discovered that a homeopathic technique is more effective than previously thought. Homeopaths repeatedly dilute solutions, believing that the higher the dilution, the more potent it becomes. This is done until 'infinite solution', when it becomes more potent than the original active ingredient. Scientists have disclaimed this technique, since logically, the solution is so diluted that none of the active ingredients remains. However, scientists Kurt Geckeler and Shashadhar Samal discovered that dissolved molecules cluster together as the solution is diluted. When the solution is diluted further, the clusters clump together to form even larger clusters. The finding goes against years of teaching that molecules disperse further apart the more the solution is diluted. The New Scientist reported: 'Diluting a remedy may increase the size of the particles to the point when they become biologically active. The finding may provide a mechanism for how some homeopathic medicines work, something that has defied scientific explanation till now.'
