That realization led to something more scientifically accurate and useful: "cosmotropic water," a mineral-defined framework that now underpins a new category of agricultural input.
Yes, exactly right. Mineral composition is going to determine how the water organizes and arranges itself, and the truth is no two waters are ever exactly the same. The mineral composition varies depending on where you are on the Earth.
I use a deep-sea water concentrated mineral solution to remineralize reverse osmosis or deionized water, calibrating it to roughly 230 ppm, which is where natural spring water measures. I do not use nor do I recommend water devices nor products. That's just one example. There will be a whole variety of waters depending on where you are on the Earth.
Yes, the minerals are playing at the basic chemistry and charge level, and proven, uncontested chemical science shows us this. But what isn't being addressed here is the way certain minerals and charges may be acting as antennas for other information in the field. Within fields. Water is alive. Dynamic.
No one is speaking to how consciousness, awareness, intention, and attention focused on the water play into this. Everyone knows the observer influences the experiment, but that's tip-of-the-spear science. There's no NMR or spectroscopy that will effectively and accurately assess that. Perhaps Dr. Masuro Emoto came closest to documenting this.
This whole conversation is rooted in the old paradigm of evidence-based-medicine mindset. What we're finding is that water is beyond the chemistry, beyond the medicine, and this is what makes homeopathic sciences so interesting. That's where the secrets of water will be revealed next, and it will guide us to the next level of understanding this topic.
This is a fascinating field. Thank you all for your contribution, this conversation has been very informative. My conclusion: minerals are the frequencies of light that are the major player, and water, just like every human being has a unique fingerprint, all waters are unique.
This made me think the real biology question here isn’t about ‘structured water’ itself, but how mineral environments and charged interfaces shape water behavior inside cells. If that’s true, it could change how we understand hydration, transport, and even cellular function. What would be the clearest biomarker of that?
The shift away from “structured water” toward mineral-driven hydration is more aligned with established chemistry, especially Hofmeister effects and interfacial behavior. Still, claims about biological or agricultural benefits require controlled, reproducible studies beyond spectroscopic correlations to confirm real-world efficacy.
I grew up in an “American settlement “ in South America. We had a water system that pumped water from a “filter” at the bottom of the river into a tank upon the hillside which gravity fed all the houses below. However, during rainy season the filtration was overwhelmed and muddy water came from the taps. In the evening we would put water into large pots/containers, sprinkle alum in and leave it to set overnight. In the morning the mud was at the bottom and the clear water could be carefully poured off the top. I have long wondered what the effect of drinking the alum (whichever formulation it was) had on our health.
This is such an important distinction. The conversation becomes much more useful when we move from rigid ideas of structure to how water actually functions in the body.
Pierre, you have ignored the effects of Deuterium in the water. This water isotope has huge effects on biology. The amount of D in water will vary from 150 ppm at the coast to about 80 ppm at altitude inland.
Although the concentration is low, it's a very active part of water. Look up Gabor Somalei's work.
Dr Gerald Pollack has spoken at a couple of major homeopathic research conferences over the past couple of years and has discussed the implications for his water research on homeopathic medicines. I summarized his thoughts on this subject and have added my own insights in this article published in the leading scientific journal that explores "hormesis" (the interdisciplinary field that explores the power of exceeding small doses of SPECIFIC substances on SPECIFIC biological systems).
I’m not a physicist and don’t even play one on TV. Just the same, those with even a passing interest in science can find a wealth of information on the fascinating properties of water. Here are just a few:
Water is the only, or at least an exceptionally rare case of a compound that expands slightly (density decreases) just above its freezing point. Among other results, it apparently serves the “useful” purpose in ecology of mixing up a pond’s contents before it freezes, although I don’t understand the purpose of it. This is also, I think, the reason why rocks and other materials tend to crack if they contain water in freezing conditions.
There’s more than one type of “ice” each having distinct physical characteristics. Several types, in fact. Perhaps that shouldn’t be surprising. Consider the case of carbon. The same element that’s in your charcoal, in a slightly different format makes a good graphite pencil lead, or a lubricant. After enduring very high heat and pressure, it makes a passable diamond. As with the processes that make carbon into diamond (while that happens in nature), the alternate ice forms don’t happen in anything remotely resembling everyday conditions.
We are about 70% water. Yes, we take it for granted. But life couldn’t exist without it, and it’s a far more unusual material than one might suspect.
Dr Kory My wife had preordered (in December of last year) a copy of From Volcanoes to Vitality. Unless she missed it, we have not received a copy of the book yet or any indication of when to expect it. Can you please let me provide me an update. Thanks Tom C

When are the books going to be mailed out. I still do not have mine

Another water/mineral question---The Midwestern Doctor has also discussed the circulatory effects of zeta potential of the blood, and likes a potassium ion treatment for water called Zeta Aid. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this treatment. https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-to-improve-zeta-potential-and?utm_source=publication-search

Hi Dr Kory
What an I add to distilled water to make it taste better
Thank you
