At the age of 89 (August 18, 1932 – February 8, 2022), Professor Luc Montagnier died at the American hospital in Neuilly-sur-Seine, near Paris. A noble and dedicated French virologist, Luc Montagnier, was a full-time professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China and emeritus director of the “Center national de la recherche scientifique” and of the Viral Oncology Unit of the Pasteur Institute in Paris where in 1983, together with Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, he discovered the HIV virus in a lymph node biopsy. That scientific achievement earned them the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2008.
In a controversial 2009 study entitled “Electromagnetic Signals Are Produced by Aqueous Nanostructures Derived from Bacterial DNA Sequences”, Montagnier concluded that highly diluted DNA from pathogenic bacterial and viral species is able to emit specific radio waves which are associated with nanostructure in the solution, that might be able to recreate the pathogen. That research directly correlates to the principle of high dilution used in Homeopathy. His peers discredited him and his groundbreaking research. Consequently, he lost all his funding.
China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University offered him support for his continuing research to study the phenomenon of electromagnetic waves produced by DNA dilution in water, its theoretical basis and its possible applications in medicine. One of his aims was to find new inexpensive ways to provide needed medicine to mankind in a non-intrusive way with few, if any, side effects.
His legacy is an opportunity to provide a new avenue for science to pursue, to benefit all. The possibilities are endless. May you rest in peace, Monsieur Montagnier.
