In my oppinion epitaxy could not explain water memory and the effect of
highly diluted homeopathic solutions, since it is well known that even pure
destilated water in hermetically sealed ampoules can easily be converted at
will to any homeopathic remedy if subjected to appropriate subtle energy
technique.
