Here we provide images and videoclips documenting the methods applied in the experiments which have shown rigorously and unequivocally the effect of high dilutions of homeopathic medicines in laboratory mouse, demonstrated in the years 2007-2011 by the Bellavite's group (see references below). All studies were based on ethological method and ethically approved.

• External view of the Laboratory
• Randomization of mice in cages
• Scheme of the test employed: Open-Field, Light-Dark
• Video of LD test in Youtube officially accepted and published by Psychopharmacology
• How drugs were provided and stored
• Gelsemium sempervirens
• Ignatia amara
• Videoclip: How mice behaviour has been measured in Open-field test
• Videoclip: How mice behaviour has been mesasured in Light-Dark test
• A mouse "uncertain" as what to do and where to go in Light-dark apparatus
• Videoclip: How drugs were 100X diluted and dynamized
• Videoclip: How blinding was performed: delivery to independent people and return of coded samples
• How many experiments were performed
• Key-points of results with Gelsemium
• Group of investigators and acknowledgements

Homeopatic 9C dilution/dynamization = 1 molecule per mouse = 1 molecule every billion of neurons
And yet it works!

"Eppur si muove" is an Italian phrase meaning "And yet it moves" said to have been uttered by the Italian mathematician, physicist and philosopher Galileo Galilei in 1633 after being forced to recant his belief that the Earth moves around the Sun.
In science the (good) evidence is always stronger than the common sense. And now we have also a possible explanation!
