DNA sequences that emit EM radiation?
At least he has the qualifier of "in certain conditions".
My BS detector is going off scale high. A Google search found no other info on it but it did find Luc's paper on a Homeopathy website.
From the abstract:
Abstract: A novel property of DNA is described: the capacity of some bacterial DNA sequences to induce electromagnetic waves at high aqueous dilutions. It appears to be a resonance phenomenon triggered by the ambient electromagnetic background of very low frequency waves. The genomic DNA of most pathogenic bacteria contains sequences which are able to generate such signals. This opens the way to the development of highly sensitive detection system for chronic bacterial infections in human and animal diseases. Key words: DNA, electromagnetic signals, bacteria.
Uh, so correct me if I am wrong guys, but it seems to me like he is saying that if you put DNA in water it is supposed to give off light. More or less.
