These biological resonators are extremely small as compared to the so-called electromagnetic resonators which are molecules, atoms, electrons, etc.; it is actually permitted to think that these particular elements are possible subdivisions of the electromagnetic elements in the case of manifested life. We are therefore able to explain the activity of dilutions up to a more distant limit.
In the first part of this study, I said that Hahnemanns dilutions could not give any certitude concerning high dilutions. If we refer this matter to experimental science, we cannot follow the phenomena beyond a certain dilution and no justified argument can tell how dilutions are effected.
On the contrary, with Korsakoffs method — provided the same machine is used — we can pretend to obtain identical dilutions each time a new series of operations is effected.
Here are the various operations to be done in order to obtain a constant result: First, remember that — with Korsakoffs method — a single vial is used for the preparation of all the successive dilutions from the original stock. This vial receives a given weight of the stock, then an instrument adds the corresponding quantity of alcohol or water. After succussion the vial is emptied by overturning, then straightened again. Then the same instrument reintroduces the same quantity of liquid which is again succussed, and so on. The successive operations are therefore as follows: Introduction of the diluting liquid; succussion; emptying of the vial by overturning; straightening of the vial.
The ensemble of these operations constitutes a cycle the duration of which should be absolutely invariable and each successive operation in this cycle should also have an invariable duration. In order to insure such invariable duration, the mechanism should be commanded by a synchronous electrical motor. The speed of such a motor does not vary, or at least it is identical to that of the alternators producing the current; now the alternators of our electric stations have an extremely regular speed, as it is a necessity for the couplings made at sometimes very great distances.
If the mechanism was commanded by another type of motor, its speed could be variable due to the variation of the resistance of the mechanism or to the variation of tension at the terminals of the motor, i.e., to the variable charge of the line. The constant rotation speed of the motor being assured, we are certain that the various phases commanded by the mechanism will have the same duration.
We have now to solve the question of the constancy of the flow of the diluting liquid. In order to insure that constancy we have installed (at the L.M.H.) a reservoir like a Mariottes vase giving a constant level to the instrument of distribution. This instrument is made with a tube supplied with a tap and an ajutage. The distance between the constant level and the extremity of the ajutage determines the speed of the running and the ruling of the tap determines the section of the running and therefore the volume. So there is a rigorously constant flowing. This flow is received in a distributor through a funnel for a certain time, always the same for the above given reasons. Therefore the same quantity of liquid always flows in the vials, and it is the intensity of the force of gravity that regulates it.
Our dynamisor is constructed in such a way that the flow is controlled without hindering the functioning. The role of the machine is completely defined in the above explanations. Now other conditions — just as important — must be performed.
The quantity of the matter to be introduced in the vial at the beginning has to be measured with great precision. The vials — which of course must be used only once for the performance of the successive dilutions — should be of neutral glass, perfectly clean and sterilized by heat. The emptying should be mechanical for the reception of the chosen dilutions and the vial should not be taken out for emptying. Finally an instrument should regulate the time of emptying of the vial, so that the ratio be known between the amount of liquid left in the vial and that automatically introduced; it is therefore necessary that this time depend on the form of the vial. This ratio may be 10 or 100; it is generally the latter which is adopted.
In such conditions, one can be sure that the high potencies performed by machine represent each a constant that can be renewed at any time; this is essential and constitutes the absolute guarantee to the physician using them.
