In 2007, Montagnier published a paper titled DNA Waves and Water, which essentially picked up where Benveniste’s work left off following his death in 2004. Montagnier is best known as part of the scientific team who discovered the HIV virus, subsequently receiving the Nobel Prize in Medicine. While many in the scientific community have been quick to label his work as pseudoscience, his research caught the eye of a very high-profile virologist and Nobel Laureate named Dr.
He also wrote about his findings that water could still contain DNA of an added substance, even after being diluted to the point that it could not possibly still contain even traces of the original substance––a study that was subsequently published in the prestigious journal Nature. Benveniste experimented with ultra-high-dilution solutions and theorized that water could “remember” any substance it had ever come into contact with due to molecules leaving electromagnetic traces in water, which were still present even when the molecule itself was no longer detectable. The idea of a “memory of water” arose in the late 1980s in connection with the studies of the French immunologist and water researcher Jacques Benveniste.
