The plan for today:

1. Tune-up; sensing acupuncture points and the physics of electricity, magnetism and piezoelectricity. 2. The energy crisis in medicine. 3. Trauma, inflammation and healing accomplished by moving energy. 4. The blueprint of life and syntropy. 5. The science of the biofields

Tune-up

Sensing energy flows in the body: heart meridian right arm

Meridians and points:

Their nature, location and depth varies. The charts show their average or most likely location, but to be certain you must locate them every time. In this sense they are like electrons in atoms- they have a statistical probability of being in a certain place (the wave equation), and they can extend a distance into space. Meridians and points hold information about the present and past condition of the individual.
Patrizia Stefanini

The physics behind sensing and energizing the points and meridians:

What is energy?
In physics, energy is defined as the ability to do work.

The value of physics: a precise language for our conversations.

Two laws of physics

Ampres Law

In 1820, Hans Christian rsted in Kbenhavn accidentally discovered that passing a current through a wire would cause nearby compass needles to rotate.

Electricity can give rise to magnetism!

This has become a basic law of physics called Ampres Law.

The right hand rule

In 1820, Hans Christian rsted in Kbenhavn accidentally discovered that passing a current through a wire would cause nearby compass needles to rotate.

Electricity can give rise to magnetism!

This has become a basic law of physics called Ampres Law.

Example: the field of the heart.

Richard Gordon

electrocardiogram

Richard Gordon

The circulatory system is an excellent conductor of electricity. Each heartbeat produces a pulse of electricity that flows through the circulatory system. According Ampres Law the flow of electricity through the blood vessels must create pulsing magnetic fields in the space around your body.

The second important law of physics:

Faradays Law of Induction

In 1831, Michael Faraday in England discovered that moving a magnet near a conductor induces a measurable current in the wire.

Magnetism gives rise to electricity.

Faradays Law of Induction is another basic law of electromagnetism.

Remember these two laws of physics:

Ampres Law:

Faradays Law of Induction:

Electricity gives rise to magnetism.

Magnetism gives rise to electricity.

These same laws enable the conversion of motion to electricity (electric generator) and electricity into motion (electric motor).

Why remember these two laws of physics?

Ampres Law explains how currents produced by your heart and other organs give rise to biomagnetic fields in the space around your body and around your hands.
.

Why remember these two laws of physics?

Faradays Law of Induction explains how biomagnetic fields around your hands can induce current flows in the people near you.

However:

Stronger induced classical electromagnetic field anti-inflammatory

Stronger scalar field - morphogenetic field regeneration

Classical field: Induces current Clears blockages Resolves inflammation

Scalar field: Morphogenetic field Information for regeneration

Valerie Hunt, Marco Bischof, Emilio Del Giudice

There are two modes of energy healing.

Repair:
Hands-on and electromagnetic therapies. Use measurable low frequency energy fields. Removes inflammation and other blockages. Opens pathways for communication and cell movements. Jump-starts healing Can take time.

Second mode of energy healing:

Replacement:
Restoration of pattern. Quantum holography, morphogenetic field. Uses extremely high frequency energy fields. All tissues are regenerated or replaced. Can be virtually instantaneous. Non-local: operates over distances.

Morphogenetic fields

Rupert Sheldrake: New Science of Life

Morphogenetic fields give rise to all forms.

Matter assumes form when it resonates with a field.

The fields involved are not classical electromagnetic fields.

Morphogenetic fields are derived from a body's own past actions and from the structures and actions of ancestors.

Fields act across space and time.

These are scalar waves.

Two ways to get energy to flow through tissues: induction and the piezoelectric effect

Piezoelectricity means electricity resulting from pressure. It is derived from the Greek piezo or piezein (), which means to squeeze or press, and electric or electron (), which stands for amber an ancient source of electric charge.

They are mostly fluid, given form by a network of polymer strands. A balance of forces maintains this state of affairs; disturbing it infinitesimally can bring on a phase transition and collapse the gel. By Toyoichi Tanaka Scientific American 1981 244(1):124-138

cytoskeletal filament

melanosome

Merkel Cell

Sensing magnetic fields. The melanosome is a tiny magnet. A magnetic field makes it rotate, and a filament tugs on a mechanically sensitive ion channel in the cell membrane. When the channel opens it creates a receptor potential that is transmitted to the brain.

Projecting biomagnetic field:

electrically gated ion channel

action potential from the brain

cytoskeletal filament

melanosome

Merkel Cell

Projecting magnetic fields. An action potential from the brain causes an electrically gated ion channel in the membrane to rotate, causing the melanosome to rotate, producing a magnetic field.

The brain-Merkel cell connection is bidirectional. Merkel cells not only absorb but also radiate energy fields. Hence the Merkel nerve endings on the hands may mediate the sensing and projecting of energy fields involved in Cranial-Sacral, Shiatsu, Reiki, Healing Touch, Therapeutic Touch, Polarity Therapy, Rolfing, etc. Medical Hypotheses 75(2010):162-168.

Merkel cells are multisensorial cells that can receive almost all environmental stimuli, including electromagnetic and ultraviolet radiations, temperature, humidity and even food type. Medical Hypotheses 75(2010):162-168.

In conclusion, Merkel cells are multifunctional cells whose properties may help us close the gap between orthodox medicine and complementary medicine.

Part 2 The energy crisis in medicine.

My assistant:

In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.

Albert Szent-Gyrgyi

In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.

Is there something important we could learn from other cultures and from other medical traditions?

What is meant by healing accomplished by moving energy?

Albert Szent-Gyrgyi

It is not well understood how complementary and alternative therapies work, and this is one reason they remain outside mainstream science and medicine.

Actually, we understand how complementary and alternative therapies work much more than we understand how conventional medicine works, and this is one reason CAM therapies are becoming a major part of mainstream science and medicine.

Where We Are Headed

In 1955 Szent-Gyrgyi became a citizen of the USA. Here his wife, Marta, pins an American flag on him in commemoration of his becoming a naturalized citizen. They were married in 1941, and she died of cancer in 1963. His only daughter, Cornelia "Little Nellie was born in 1918, and she also died of cancer.

The struggle against cancer:

Looking for the cause of cancer:

Cancer is distorted life so to understand cancer we need to understand life. I can only control what I understand. Everyone has been trying to come up with a quick cure. This is nonsense. You have to begin by understanding how cells work.

Looking for the cause of cancer:

The problem is not what causes cancer cells to grow. The problem is to determine what prevents cells from growing except when needed. You cannot regulate traffic with only a green light. There has to be a green and a red light. The mechanism has to be very old in terms of evolution.

Albert Szent-Gyrgyi

He studied free radicals. These are molecules lacking one or more electrons. A free radical is is eager to replace its missing electron and will do this by stealing an electron from any nearby structure. While this process is essential to life, it can also be extremely harmful.

Free radicals are like Pacman:

Many subtle processes in living systems must depend on small, highly mobile and responsive entities: delocalized electrons.
Anything that disrupts electron flow in the body might push cells into the cancerous state.

Albert Szent-Gyrgyi

Life is too rapid and subtle to be explained by slow moving chemical reactions and nerve impulses.

~Albert Szent-Gyrgyi

In other words, living systems must have a primordial regulatory system that can move energy and information extremely rapidly throughout the body. Cancer and other chronic diseases occur when that system is not working properly.

There is just not enough time between the instant the pitcher releases the ball and the moment it crosses the plate for a hitter to spot it, react to it and move the bat across the plate to meet it.

Double bonds in the protein backbone provide free or mobile or delocalized electrons. The proteins are the stage upon which the drama of life unfolds.
The actors can be none other than small and highly mobile units such as electrons and protons.

Introducing biological semiconduction:

If a great number of atoms are packed together in a tight array, such as in a crystal lattice, single electrons cease to belong to one or two atoms only, and belong instead to the whole system. Many molecules can join together to form an energy continuum. Energy in the form of excited electrons can travel rapidly through such a system.
~ Albert Szent-Gyrgyi (1941) Towards a new biochemistry? Science 93:609.

In other words, the structural fabric of living cells and tissues is a continuous and largely crystalline semiconducting network. A semiconductor is a material that conducts electrons. Its conductivity is intermediate between that of a conductor and that of an insulator.

Devices made from semiconductor materials are the foundation of modern electronics, including radios, televisions, computers, cell phones, and many other devices.

Mae-Wan Ho and her colleagues in England identified a variety of biological liquid crystals in certain cellular and tissue components.

The medium in the human body:

Most of the body is composed of vertically oriented helical molecules associated with vertically oriented water molecules.

Using a special polarizing microscope that she and her colleagues invented, Ho was able to show the dynamic changes in coherence taking place in microscopic animals from a pond. She refers to this as the quantum jazz of life.

Biological coherence

Satyendra Nath Bose

Albert Einstein

We begin with the BoseEinstein condensate, a state of matter first predicted by S. N. Bose and Albert Einstein in 192425.

Bose was an Indian mathematician and physicist who wrote a paper in 1924 describing a statistical theory for light.
Bose SN, 1924. Plancks Gesetz und Lichtquantenhypothese. (Planck's Law and the Hypothesis of Light Quanta). Zeitschrift fr Physik 26:178-181)

Bose and Einstein collaborated to develop a mathematics called Bose-Einstein statistics, that describes the gas-like qualities of both electromagnetic radiation (light) and collections of coherent electrons or atoms.

Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics apply under conditions when quantum effects are important and the particles become "indistinguishable".

There are two main categories of indistinguishable particles: bosons, which can share quantum states, and fermions, which do not share quantum states due to the Pauli exclusion principle. Examples of bosons are photons, gluons, phonons, and helium-4 atoms. Examples of fermions are electrons, neutrinos, quarks, protons and neutrons, and helium-3 atoms.

The Bose-Einstein condensate is a dense collection of bosons, which are elementary particles or atoms with integer spin, named after Bose. The theory describes the behavior of a group of particles in the same energetic state and accounts for the cohesive streaming of laser light and other quantum phenomena.

Interest in this subject began to take off in the mid 1990s. Here we see the annual number of published papers (as of 2001), which have the words Bose and Einstein in their title, abstracts or keywords.
From the 2001 Nobel Lecture of Wolfgang Ketterle.

Eric A. Cornell

Wolfgang Ketterle

Carl E. Wieman

Seventy years after the proposal by Bose and Einstein, the first gaseous condensate was produced by Cornell and Wieman in 1995 at the University of Colorado using a gas of rubidium atoms cooled to 170 nanokelvin. For their achievements Cornell, Wieman, and Wolfgang Ketterle received the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics.

WHEN ATOMS BEHAVE AS WAVES: BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATION AND THE ATOM LASER Nobel Lecture, December 8, 2001 by WOLFGANG KETTERLE Department of Physics, MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms, and ResearchLaboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02139, USA.

The MIT atom laser operating at 200 Hz. Pulses of coherent sodium atoms are coupled out from a Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a magnetic trap (field of view 2.5 x 5.0 mm2). Every 5 ms, a short rf pulse transferred a fraction of these atoms into an unconfined quantum state. These atoms were accelerated downward by gravity and spread out due to repulsive interactions. Each pulse contained between 105 and 106 atoms.

A Bose-Einstein condensate is a state of matter of a dilute gas of weakly interacting bosons confined in an external field and cooled to temperatures very near to absolute zero. Under such conditions, a large fraction of the bosons occupy the lowest quantum state. Quantum effects become apparent on a macroscopic scale.

One of the leading theorists in the field of superconduction, Herbert Frhlich, demonstrated that Bose-Einstein condensation can take place in living tissues at body temperatures and pressures because of the high degree of order or crystallinity.

http://i-sis.org/

When a gas consisting of uncoordinated atoms turns into a Bose-Einstein condensate, it is like when the various instruments of an orchestra with their different tones and timbres, after warming up individually, all join in the same tone.

Frhlichs initial focus was on the cell membrane, which is composed of an array of phospholipid molecules, and which has an enormous electrical potential across it, amounting to some millions of volts per meter.

In 2000, Oschman pointed out that the conditions for biological coherence exist in a variety of tissues in animals. These tissues constitute the bulk of the animal body.

Mae-wan Ho described the way energy and information can cycle through living systems. Organisms can take advantage of a complete spectrum of coupled cycles, storing and mobilizing energy and information using many different kinds of efficient transfers.

Energy and information input into any of the bodys systems can be readily delocalized over all systems; conversely energy and information from all systems can become concentrated into any single system.

Energy coupling in living systems is symmetrical, which is why we can have energy at will, whenever and wherever required.

Electromechanical oscillators can become resonantly coupled together through coherent sound, electromagnetic fields (light), matter and other emissions to form extended Frhlich systems.
Avery, J., Bay, Z., and Szent-Gyorgyi, A., 1961. On the energy transfer in biological systems. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA 47:1742-1744.

The mechanisms involved in such efficient coupling have now been documented by the Fleming group at the University of California, Berkeley:

This wavelike characteristic of the energy transfer within the photosynthetic complex can explain its extreme efficiency, in that it allows the complexes to sample vast areas of phase space to find the most efficient path.

Subtle energetic representations of trauma are readily approachable and resolvable. These energetic signatures lie outside the thought and speech centers of the brain. It is easier to unravel them without entering into their narrative representations. Redpath discovered that there is something prior, preverbal, that can be reached directly.

Redpath:
Traditional therapy seeks memories, ideas, sensations, feelings, thoughts as primary. Redpaths experience with psychoanalysis was that no matter how well victims recalled critical memories, the patterns of their lives continued to be tormented and disrupted. Redpath discovered that there is something prior, preverbal, that can be reached directly.

The Living Matrix is not the nervous system!

In terms of evolution, the living matrix is much older and mature and much more sophisticated than the nervous system. It is much faster than the nervous system and it extends into places nerves do not reach.

Perhaps the living matrix is the embodiment of the system that Szent-Gyrgyi was looking for.

Recent research has explained what is meant by healing accomplished by moving energy.

Virtually all of the most deadly and costly diseases of our times have a common cause. This includes many conditions that have previously been termed incurable.

Inflammation has turned out to be the holy grail of medicine. Inflammation is an energetic condition is best approached with methods that are based on energetics.

The public is being informed that inflammation is a common denominator to a wide range of chronic diseases.

Chronic inflammation is caused by highly reactive positively charged free radicals, and is therefore an energetic condition.

This is why energy therapies are often successful when conventional treatments do not work. Inflammation is the key.

Two kinds of energy medicine relate directly to inflammation:

hands-on and hands-of methods a variety of devices

The common aspect of all of these approaches is their ability to make electrons move. Electrons are the ultimate anti-oxidants.

The main complaint/ main focus model: Developed by Dr. Kessler to guide his success with the ONDAMED:

Wolf-Dieter Kessler, MD, Ph.D.

http://www.drkessler.com/index.php

Main complaint: I do not feel well. Conventional diagnosis: kidney failure. Main focus: right knee.

What is inflammation?

A remarkable animation of the immune response was produced by Professor Karl E. Arfors, professor in micro-circulation at SK Cancer Center in U.S.A. and the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm :

The chase!

The oxidative burst:

Argentaffin Granules

neutrophil

The inflammation hypothesis:

neutrophil

In the oxidative burst, neutrophils deliver free radicals to the site of injury to destroy bacteria and damaged cells.

The inflammation hypothesis:

Some of the free radicals attack the surrounding tissues and damage healthy cells. The resulting debris coagulates to form an inflammatory barricade.

The inflammation hypothesis:

The inflammatory barricade blocks antioxidants and regenerative cells from entering the repair field.

The inflammation hypothesis:

Repair is incomplete and the immune system continues to try to repair the damage. This sets up a vicious cycle that can persist for a very long period of time leading to chronic inflammation.

This is the most exciting area of medical research today:

The inflammation hypothesis.

The inflammatory barricade is formed because of collateral damage to healthy tissues. The secret to acute injury: prevent the formation of the inflammatory barricade. How do you do this: get anti-oxidant electrons to the area ASAP to stop free radical damage to healthy cells.

It is all about electrons and inflammation.

The Barefoot Story

Before modern times we walked and slept in direct contact with the earth and our bodies were naturally earthed.

During the last century we have disconnected ourselves from the earth by using insulating soles on our shoes.

Attractive? Perhaps. Good for you? Probably not!

So close but not touching!

Try it. Its the best thing you can do for yourself. And its FREE!

Connecting the body with earth normalizes the rhythm of cortisolthe stress hormone. The result: much better sleep.

Case Study: 4 nights of grounded sleep. Pain leaves, circulation returns.

Case Study: 30 minutes of connection to the earth. Dancing again after 6 years.

Electrons are moving from the earth to the body and vice versa.

Grounding comes at a time when medical researchers are discovering that inflammation is a common denominator to a wide range of chronic diseases.

Inflammation involves free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that lack one or more electrons. Free radicals acquire electrons by oxidizing other molecules which are destroyed in the process. Oxygen is the ultimate free radical; electrons are the ultimate antioxidants.

What happens in inflammation?

collagen triple helix: a semiconductor

connective tissue: a composite material

ground substance: an electron reservoir

The connective tissue ground substance is electrically charged and stores electrons.

The ground substance is a reservoir of electrons that can be recruited at any point in the body where free radicals are present. Those electrons can move through the matrix and electrically neutralize free radicals.

Ungrounded person: charge reservoirs are depleted. We refer to this as electron depletion.

Grounded person: charge reservoirs are filled. We refer to this as inflammatory preparedness.

Inflammation caused by unnecessary damage to nearby healthy tissues can lead to chronic disease.

INJURY

Electrons from ground substance are semi-conducted through the collagen matrix and neutralize free radicals that would otherwise damage nearby healthy tissues. No inflammation.

The inflammatory barricade:

A wall of connective tissue. Impenetrable to dissolved antioxidants.

Impenetrable to cells that can regenerate damaged tissues (Ben Harrison, WFIRM). Electrons are the ultimate anti-oxidants. Electrons can be semi-conducted into the inflammatory pouch where they can neutralize free radicals.

When the body is connected to the earth shortly after an injury, we see only traces of the classical signs of inflammation.

Day 2 healing

From the preface: Aging remains one of the biggest unsolved problems in biology. More than 50 years ago, Denham Harman proposed the free radical theory of aging: cumulative damage from oxygen free radicals causes the process of aging. The free radical theory is the most extensively tested of all aging theories.

We also suspect that electrons from the ground substance reservoirs located throughout the body have an anti-aging effect by preventing free radical damage.

The Living Matrix or ground regulation system is our built-in anti-oxidant defense system.

Thanks Dr. Szent-Gyrgyi for explaining how grounding enables free electrons from the earth to travel throughout the body.

Thanks Clint Ober for explaining why we need to be grounded as often as possible.
