This paper reports impedance data and high voltage plasma photographic plates of high dilutions of sodium chloride in water submitted to the homeopathic dilution and succussion up to 30cH. Extremely low concentrations of the original salt, even beyond Avogadro number, clearly differ from ‘pure’ water and; the action of sodium chloride on the electrical properties of water is inverted at high dilution.
