PHYSICS INVOLVED IN STUDYING UNCONVENTIONNAL MEDECINES: EUROPEAN RECOMMENDATIONS, REVIEW AND PROSPECTIVE — •Annie Ginibre — Université Paris-Sud, Bat 505 Campus d’Orsay, F91405 Orsay Cedex

European COST action B4 ( COoperation in Sciences and Technology) studied the status of unconventionnal medecines (1993-98). Joint efforts for recognition and control have ascertained bridging scientific bases, including biological effects of homeopathy, concluding to a need for further research, in particular in relation with physics.

We discuss that atomic and molecular physics are most relevant with respect to methodology, tools and theoretical aims. Investigating spectra analysis as an adequate image of complexity could give new blood to the activity of atomic and molecular data production. Technical innovation ( lasers, microscopies) could be illustrated, e.g. by in situ detection of metabolic changes. Unexpected physical properties underlying Homeopathy, close to molecular dynamics in polar fluids,to hydratation, and to ordered systems are ahead; necessary mechanical dynamisation, reported to begin at detectable concentrations, is accessible to physics experimentation.
