Earlier, we showed that treatment on plant or animal with a potentized substance might affect other plants or animals connected to the former by the capillary water in cotton threads. The aim of the present study was to establish whether drug effect could be transferred in a cell-free medium. Two test tubes each containing 1 ml of 1% starch solution and 1 ml of �?±-amylase, were connected by means of wet cotton threads encased in a polythene tube. One of the tubes also contained Mercurius corrosives (Merc-cor) 30 CH and the other ethanol solution (control). After 15 min, the enzyme activity was stopped with DNSA, and the breakdown product of starch, maltose was estimated. A third separate tube contained all the tested materials except for Merc-cor and the controlled solution. In a second experiment, 2 tubes, one containing 1200 ppm and the other 200 ppm of maltose, were similarly connected over 15 min. Both the experiments were repeated 20 times. In the first experiment, the amount of maltose was similar in both connected tubes, but it was significantly lower in the unconnected tube. In the second experiment, maltose concentration in both tubes remained unchanged. The information of Merc-cor 30 CH was effectively transported through capillary water between 2 tubes in cell-free medium. Water seems to be the most portable carrier of information in potentized solutions.
