Handbook on the CuCl2 crystallisation method.
This handbook represents a milestone, providing a comprehensive account of the historical and contemporary insights into the biological and physical aspects of the CuCl2 method. As such, future research will have solid ground to stand on. This handbook represents a first step towards a discussion in a broader scientific context, bridging the present gap to the ‘conventional’ crystallisation research.

Publication article Development of a biocrystallisation method for examining effects of homeopathic preparations on germinating cress seeds
Baumgartner, S., P. Doesburg, C. Scherr, J-O. Andersen (2012).
In which the development of a biocrystallisation test system is described for the investigation of homeopathic potencies. 2 different D30 potencies proved to be statistically highly significantly distinguishable. In a follow-up project we aim to determine the effect of heating and electromagnetic (GSM) radiation on the same D30 potencies.
