Letter to Members
12 March 2009
The « Association Jacques Benveniste pour la Recherche » was founded on March 12th, 2005. It has been four years since we work to foster vocations and to promote the development of new fields of research in the field of life sciences. The Association supports particularly the domains of research opened by Jacques Benveniste: disciplinary interfaces between biology, physical physics and chemistry, intra-and inter-cellular signalling, innovative research in life sciences which are not the object of important institutional supports. We promote the work and the scientific approach of Jacques.
A
saying occurs to me: "chi va
piano, va sano; chi va sano, va lontano".
Indeed, our limited means force
us to a slow progress, following the example of the long-distance
runner. But
the world changed a lot since the premature passing of Jacques, on
October 3rd, 2004. Numerous remarkable events took place; some were
supported
by the Association. We
have focused our efforts on the support of scientific
demonstrations in the heart of the issue raised by Jacques. But first
of all
let us speak about Jacques' book " My truth on the Memory of the Water
", written in association with François Cote, which we published
posthumously, with the publisher Albin-Michel in April 2005. The good
news is
that it is exhausted today but Albin-Michel decided to reprint it. Let
us recall that it was also published in Japanese, in March 2006. Then,
further to
an approach strongly supported by the Association,
which not only found an
Italian editor, but also translated the text and revised the
translation by a
review panel, the book was published in Italian in December, 2006.
Since,
volunteers worked on the English and Spanish translation of the text,
which provide the baseline for seeking publishers for these languages.
In 2006, the Association supported the
conference "COHERENCE" dedicated to the cycle and biophysics of the
water, which was held in Rome from 21 to 23 April.
During the year 2007, the Association
has worked particularly on the creation of the " Jacques Benveniste
Prize", known internationally also under the name of " Benveniste
Award ". This prize was awarded for the first time on October 6th, 2007
to
ten authors of the best works on the biophysical anomalies of water,
during the
VII International Crimean Conference "Cosmos and Biosphere" (1-6
October 2007).
On October 27th, 2007, a very important
conference on the future of the fight against viruses, in particular
against
that of AIDS, was held at the University LUDES of Lugano, on the
occasion of the
presentation of the archives of Jacques Benveniste's laboratory, put at
the
disposal and custody of University. The discoverer of the AIDS
virus and
the Chairman of the World Foundation for the Research and Prevention of
AIDS, UNESCO, LUC MONTAGNIER presented some of his current works
that are based on the discovery by Jacques on the
electromagnetic transmission signal biological low frequency waves that
resonate with the biological receptor. Professor
PAOLO SOTGIU, vice-chancellor of the LUDES also
intervened and spoke about the cellular memory, professor Mario TIENGO,
President of the Italian league of the fight against pain - having been
retained in Milan for health
reasons, published on the web the written version of his intervention
planned
on applications of the new researches in pain control - and professor
VINCENZO
VALENZI who spoke about his work on the biophysics of water. New means
are
at stake for a better understanding of the biological functioning and
to fight
the new illnesses which affect and anguish us.
Which was not my happiness to see the work of my father pursued by a great researcher of international fame. And was my happiness not multiplied tenfold when I learn on October 6th, 2008 that the Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Professor Luc Montagnier, one year after he announced publicly at Lugano his trust in the impact of Jacques' works in digital biology: "a very difficult, but very promising ground", he says, " and I think that, Benveniste... finally we shall recognize that he was right ".
In 2008, two fundamental scientific
conferences benefited from the support of the Association.
The conference "XVI International Conference and
Debating Scientific Club: New Information Technology in Medicine,
Pharmacology,
Biology and Ecology" was held in Ukraine, Crimea, Yalta-Gourzuf, from
May
31st to June 9th, 2008. It is a very important annual conference on new
technologies in medicine, pharmacology, biology and ecology. The « Association
Jacques
Benveniste pour la Recherche »
offered a grant of 500 euro to prolong the effort achieved within the
framework
of the "Jacques Benveniste Award 2007".
The grant was awarded to one of the winners of this
prize: Prof. Svetlana M . Rogacheva, of the Department of Ecology,
Technical
University of State of Saratov, Russia, for its works on the protection
of the
cells from microwave radiations by Metronidazole, an antibiotic which
seems to
protect the red blood cells from the electromagnetic radiation of low
intensity
in the range of 50 to 70 GHz by reorganizing the structure of water.
Professor Svetlana Rogacheva leads this research in association with
Pavel
Kuznetsov, Era Popyhova and Alexander Somov. These results were
presented in
the frame of the Symposium " Quantum Electrodynamics of condensed
matter
and problems in Biology and Medicine " chaired by Hon. Sci. of RF Prof.
M.N . Zhadin (Russia) and Prof. L. Giuliani (Italy).
Let us underline a fundamental paper presented to
this Symposium: " The Biophysical Basis of Water Memory " by A. Widom
(Physics Department, Northeastern University, Boston MY, the USA), Y.N.
Srivastava (Physics Department & INFN, Università di
Perugia, Perugia, IT)
and V. Valenzi (Centro Studi di Biometeorologia and CIFA,
Università di Roma,
Roma IT). See the summary: bio_conf_widom.pdf
and the presentation:
bio_conf_Yalta08_ppt.pdf on the
web site of the Association.
The 2nd conference is entitled " Molecular
Self-Organization in Micro-, Nano-, and Macro-Dimensions:
From
Molecules to
Water, to Nanoparticles, DNA and Proteins", dedicated to Alexander S .
Davydov for his 95th birthday, who was held in Kiev, Ukraine, from 8
till 12
June 2008. A selection of summaries was relayed by the Association's web site (see
NATO-ARW-Kiev-abstract-selection.pdf)
We remind you that the professors M.N. Zhadin, A. Widom and V. Valenzi are members of the Scientific Committee of the Association.
For 2009, we shall of course continue our effort to publish the
book in English and in Spanish, and why not other
languages, maybe German or Russian, by relying on the skills gathered
within
the Scientific Committee of the Association. But the priority objective
is to award the Jacques
Benveniste Prize again this year, according to our objective to award
it every 2
years, on the occasion of the conference "Cosmos and Biosphere".
To reach our goal it is necessary to
raise the funds for the Award.
In conclusion, I would remind
that, until his
passing, Jacques Benveniste made progress in his research, surrounded
with a
restricted but multidisciplinary and dynamic team. We wish to pay here
again
tribute to all those who were loyally next to him and to all of those
who had
the courage to approach his "incredible" observations. Daily, Jacques
spread treasures of enthusiasm and energy to convince new partners -
that he
found mainly abroad - and to collect the necessary funds in pursuit of
his
works. We decided to contribute to immortalize his memory and to
encourage
research, through the creation of the « Association
Jacques Benveniste pour la
Recherche ».
We count on you, the members
of the Association, to
act on two main directions: settle your contribution 2009, possibly
that of the
2008 if it is not already made, and enrich and strengthen the
Association by
bringing in new members. Of course, beyond the contributions, more
substantial
donations are welcome given that the action of the Association has limits only in its
financial support.
I do not
think I am
much mistaken
if I say to you
that new discoveries in the field of digital biology and of the "
memory
of water " are going to go exponentially. I thank you for your support.
Sincerely yours,
Jérôme Benveniste
