Principles and Opportunities in Energy Based Medicine

The natural force within each of us is the greatest healer of all . "

Hippocrates.

In spite of considerable success with a purely pharmaceutical approach to

chronic illnesses, many conventionally treated patients do not fully regain

optimal health. Increasingly, medical practitioners are looking beyond the

biochemical abnormalities that characterize various illnesses. Something else

appears to be missing in many patients seeking medical health. Psychiatry

ascribes a role to impaired mental health but this simply begs the question as

to why the brain is not performing well. Early Egyptian, Greek and even modern

oriental medicine view diseases as resulting from an imbalance of an " energy

force " that resides within each of us. The nature of this presumed bio-energy

has eluded physicists and has remained largely in the realm of irrational

conjecture by individuals dismissive of scientific methodology. Energy based

medicine is evolving as a scientific discipline that can potentially

substantiate many of the fundamental precepts relating to how the body manages

to regulate its biochemical activities. This paper reviews the principles of

energy based medicines and suggests some of the many clinical opportunities in

which biophysics may have enormous therapeutic value.

Introduction

The human body functions in conformity with basic biochemical and

biophysical principles. It has been suggested that individual cells may undergo

in the order of 10 5 chemical reactions every second. The overall symmetry that

exists among paired organs and limbs would seemingly be difficult to maintain

based solely of biochemical feedback regulation. It has been suggested that

various energy fields must exist to maintain an overall harmonization of the

body's biochemical processes. Electrical activity of the brain and/or heart

could conceivably provide a master coordinating influence. Yet harmonization is

also seen among simple plants and lower animal forms lacking either a nervous or

a circulatory system. Photons in the infrared range of energy are either

released or absorbed from the environment by living creatures depending upon the

temperature differential with their surroundings. Again it is difficult to

envision this type of system acting as a master switch for all living creatures.

Photons at other energy levels, including those in the range of visible light

are released from living cells but in relatively small quantities. Rather than

conventional electromagnetic radiation, some investigators have suggested a

unique form of life associated energy. It has been designated qi (chee) by

Oriental physicians. The energy is thought to flow throughout the body in set

patterns defined as meridians and concentrated in acupuncture points and in

larger regions called chakras. Another unique form of energy is postulated to

exist throughout all space from the minute sub-atomic spaces separating

electrons from the nucleus of atoms, to the far outer reaches of the universe

separating the various galaxies. This hypothetical milieu of energy has been

referred to as the ether, subtle energy and zero point energy. It has been

likened to a sea of very, very minute string like entities possibly oscillating

as vortices. Others have suggested variably sized spherical particles somewhat

analogous to the molecules of a liquid but much smaller. The liquid model

presumes there is a flow of this energy and that the flow can be influenced by

various objects and especially by living cells. The interaction of this energy

with living cells may be relevant to the capacity of sustaining and coordinating

(harmonizing) biochemical reactions between subsets of different cells.

Alternative Cellular Energy Pigments (ACE-Pigments).

A major source of cellular energy is from the oxidation of various

nutrients. Energy is essentially extracted from sunlight in a process called

photosynthesis that is mediated by certain bacteria and by plants.

Photosynthesis is achieved by light absorbing chlorophyll. Energy from the blue

and red regions of visible light is captured by electrons within the chlorophyll

molecule. The activated electrons are more readily passed to other molecules in

a chain of electron transfer reactions. This process eventually leads to the

reduction (electron addition) of carbon dioxide to form carbohydrates with the

release of oxygen from water. The carbohydrates are subsequently oxidized to

provide energy for the addition of a third phosphate bound to adenosine

triphosphate (ATP). The mitochondria are the major cell organelle in volved in

oxidative phosphorylation.

Viruses can drain cells of their energy supply and can lead to a physical

disruption of mitochondria. A repair process associated with the formation of

pigmented materials was readily observed in viral cultures from patients with

certain non-inflammatory illnesses. The viruses are termed stealth-adapted and

are seemingly not being recognized by the immune system because they lack the

relatively few viral components targeted by the body's cellular immune response.

Complex intracellular inclusions are also seen within cells of infected

individuals and in the repairing cells seen in viral cultures. The

culture-derived materials are commonly electrostatic and auto-fluorescent. They

are occasionally ferromagnetic. More importantly, they can act as both electron

donors and electron acceptors and these properties can be directly influenced by

externally applied electromagnetic, magnetic and sound energy fields.

Chemical analysis of ACE-pigments showed that they contain various

minerals. Of particular interest the mineral compositions of individual

particles varies considerably even between particles obtained from the same

culture. The data are suggestive of some form of selective mineral affinity

force acting in the formation of aggregates of these pigmented particles.

ACE-pigments can be isolated from dried perspiration of stealth virus

infected patients and can be seen as small particles attached to hair. Both in

cultures and when derived from patients, ACE-pigments can take the form of solid

particles, long threads and broad ribbons. Disrupted ACE-pigments can assist in

the repair of stealth virus infected cultures. Excessive physical stimulation of

stealth virus infected cultures using light, magnetic and/or sound energy can,

however, cause irreversible cell damage.

Natural Products with ACE-Pigment-like Activities

The identification of ACE-pigments suggested the possibility that

biologists had overlooked a fundamental process whereby cells could derive

energy. Logically, one could ask that if chlorophyll was Nature's only way of

deriving a net increase in biological energy, then where did the energy come

from to originally make chlorophyll. Similarly, Nature seems to be limiting its

options if it only gathers energy from the small slivers of electromagnetic

energies represented in the blue and red regions of visible light. Surely, there

must be other means of converting physical to biological energies.

Farmers have traditionally been using various organic products to enhance

the growth and productivity of crops. One group of compounds comprise humates

were generally thought of as decomposing ancient plant-derived materials as it

was slowly being transformed into coal and oil. This view has recently been

challenged with the evolving concept that humates are actually re-synthesized

materials composed largely of aromatic groups cross-linked (coordinated) by

various minerals. Worms are particularly good at forming humates. Humic acid and

fulvic acids are derivatives of humates with differing solubility in acidic pH.

Humates share various properties with ACE-pigments and can be electrostatic,

auto-fluorescent, variously magnetic and can both donate and accept electron

transfers. They can also suppress the cell damaging ef fects in stealth virus

infected cultures.

The mineral components in humates are thought to facilitate the

partitioning of electron rich from electron poor regions within the molecules.

The charge separation explains electrostatic activity. As with several other

parameters, electrostatic property can fluctuate over time suggesting that

electron flow is a dynamic process. Direct observations on humate clusters

floating on water can also reveal varying degrees of subtle oscillations. Such

movements have been attributed to the back and forth flow of energy components

referred to as phonons.

In a separate line of research, others have reported that individual and

minute clusters of only a few interacting mineral molecules may display unique

energy-based properties that are not seen with regular collections of mineral

elements. Conjectures about monatomic elements and micro-clustered elements

include the suggestion of unusually high spin nuclei, rearranged electrons,

(forming so called orbitally rearranged monatomic elements, ORME or ORMUS), and

bosonic electrons (two or more electrons that essentially blend within each

other to act as a single entity). A feature of some of these theories is the

potential for transmutation of one mineral to another with the focus on the

alchemist dream of the formation of gold from less precious minerals.

The oceans and inland seas and lakes can also provide a rich source of

mineral based products. Run offs from the land into the Great Salt lake in Utah

can be seen from the air. Collections have been made from these regions and most

of the sodium chloride removed by simple precipitation. The residual

mineral-rich material has been consumed by many local residents as a health

tonic and has more widely marketed as a dietary supplement. It has also found

use as an agricultural product seemingly able to replace deficient minerals in

soils. It has also been suggested that even our regular water supplies may

contain small quantities of entrapped energy-rich materials, possibly related to

ORMUS, w hich can be released by vigorous vortexing in the presence of a

levitating magnetic field.

Other products used by organic farmers include volatile extracts obtained

from the saps of various trees. Large numbers of Japanese farmers use a

distilled mixed extract from cypress, pine and cedar trees and plantain This

product, marketed as HB-101, has only minimal content of very few minerals but

nevertheless has potent plant growth enhancing activities. Other tree sap

derived products said to have energetic properties are frankincense, myrrh, tea

tree oils and many others. The movement of sap within plants is consistent with

a role as a carrier of physical energies in addition to its accepted role in

transporting water and nutrients.

Biological Activities of ACE-pigment-like Natural Products

Undoubtedly the most convincing evidence for biological activity of these

natural products comes from observations made with plants. Even relatively small

applications can greatly enhance both the quantity and the quality of various

types of plants, including commercial crops. Apparent changes in plant vitality

can be seen within hours of application. Strips of pastures that have been

sprayed with product are not only greener than control intervening strips but

are said to be decidedly preferred by grazing animals. Animals fed these

products as food additives will typically appear healthier than control animals

and have less odorous feces. Quantitative studies on lean body weight and number

of prescriptions of antibiotics and/or steroids in response to ill health, have

confirmed a beneficial effect of these produ cts. Testimonial data on human

consumption also support a health and vitality benefit.

A major question to be answered is the mechanism of this growth enhancing

activity. It is unlikely that the products are providing consumable calories.

They could, however, be enhancing the conversion of regular nutrients into

cellular energy. This appears to be unlikely, however, since the benefits being

seen are not matched by simply increasing food intake. Another suggestion is

that the products are providing a source of electrons in help maintain a

negative redox (reduction-oxidation) potential. This property may explain some

of the benefits attributed to the consumption of " hydrogen rich " reducing water

but water by itself is far less potent than the mineral-based or plant- derived

products. A novel explanation for how these products are working is the emission

of a physical energy that can be consumed by liv ing cells and utilized by the

cells to provide better harmonization of cellular reactions. It is proposed that

in the presence of an energy field, cells can better coordinate their overall

activities towards a more unified function. Methods are being devised to test

this hypothesis.

Augmentation with Externally Applied Physical Energies

Even though the issue of emission of a biologically active energy remains

speculative, there is less uncertainty that ACE products can respond to

externally applied physical forces. Throughout the years various proponents have

laid claims to health beneficial effects of external sources of energy. These

include the simple concept of sunlight, music (as pioneered by Dr. Alfred

Tomatis and which includes traditional chanting), multi-wave oscillators (as

promoted by s Lakhovsky and also practiced by Edgar Cayce), frequency

controlled light emitting tubes (as promoted by Royal Rife), magnetism

(as originally promoted by Franz Anton Mesmer), hand delivered therapies

including Rieki and Chinese healing, and more recently introduced devices such

as low level lasers, computer generated scalar waves, Scenar (Self-Controlled

Energo Neuro Adaptive Regulation) devices and others. Various hypotheses have

been put forward to explain the apparent beneficial effects observed using

physical energies. Some of the explanations link the therapeutic energies with

the body's nervous system, while others focus on the possibility of augmenting

immunological reactivity. The discovery of ACE products suggests a more

fundamental mode of action that should be applicable to all life forms. Ongoing

studies are, therefore, examining the influence of various physical energy

modalities and devices on the energetic behaviors, including pattern formations,

by ACE products. It is hoped that a definable assay system will be developed to

help quantify and to better characterize the types of energ ies presumably being

absorbed and emitted by ACE products.

Need for Clinical Trials

A major imperative for studying ACE products is the potential adjunctive

benefit as therapies for chronic illnesses. A strong analogy can be drawn with

the desire of organic farmers to reduce dependency on herbicides and

insecticides. The arguments go that by strengthening the crops they can better

compete with weeds and furthermore insects tend to avoid healthy crops in favor

of those with impaired vitality. Certainly for infectious diseases, this analogy

would suggest an alternative to dependence on antibiotics and anti-viral agents.

More within the sphere of alternative medical practitioners, one repeatedly

hears of the apparent cures of hepatitis C patients, HIV infected AIDS patients

and so called chronic Lyme disease patients, who have chosen to pursue a more

organic life st yle. Even occasional cancer patients have apparently seen tumors

recede from simple life style changes. An innate capacity for self healing of

cancers is clearly seen in the maturation process that affects at least a

proportion of cells in many types of cancers. It would be clinically highly

relevant if this type of self healing were to depend on an internal energy

source that was being weakened by conventional chemotherapy. The conservative

nature of medical practice as well as likely criticisms by colleagues and

pharmaceutical industry sponsored members of State medical boards, etc, have

acted as deterrents for many mainstream physicians to become involved in

non-standard medicine. Yet physicians get sick as do their family members and an

argument can be made for a collective effort to help unravel what is achievable

using energy-based therapies. Unlike clinical trials that introduce new chemical

compounds of uncertain toxicities, many of the energy based protocols are sim

ply extensions of age old practices using naturally occurring compounds. There

is less of a concern with toxicity than with obtaining data on possible

efficacy.

Suggested Clinical Trials

One of society's greatest obligations is the health of its children. The

appalling situation has arisen where essentially a quarter of currently children

born into the United States are likely to experience a serious childhood

disorder. Autism rates have soared with something in the order of 1:160 boys

will be labeled as autistic. Special educational school programs are now needed

for nearly one tenth of all school children. Childhood violence and other

behavioral problems are resulting in increasing numbers of children being placed

in residential care facilities. Financial and other considerations are leading

to widespread legal applications for State adoption of children. (The United

States Government Accounting Office noted 12,600 such application in the year

2001 in nineteen states for which figures wer e available. Figures were not

available for the five largest states being New York , California , Florida ,

Texas or Pennsylvania .) Standard pharmaceutical interventions with drugs like

Adderall, Ritalin, Zoloft and others have had at best only marginal benefits.

Surely it is time for a fresh quantitative approach in children. Similarly, the

elderly are increasingly experiencing both mental and physical breakdowns. Even

the adult population is becoming more and more afflicted with poorly defined

disease entities such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and depression,

as well as more accepted aliments such as diabetes, arthritis, cancer, etc. The

enormous consumption of pharmaceuticals is clearly outpacing the use of

potential energy based therapeutic products within tho se who could potentially

benefit the most for an added cellular energy source. Physicians and dietitians

can help address this problem by advising patients to simply test some of the

suggested mineral-based or other products shown to have a potential for

providing cellular energy. Parents need to be similarly advised with regards to

the care of their children. Physicians can also encourage their patients to

participate in more formal clinical trials. Centers of Energy Based Medicine

need to become established throughout the country to conduct needed research.

The hugely expanded market for products along with competitive pricing for

non-patented products should maintain costs well below the eventual savings from

improved health. The time to act is now.

Summary

If properly approached with an emphasis on controlled clinical studies and

an open mind regarding the nature of the presumed bio-energy fields that

regulate cellular function, energy-based medicine could become a powerful

adjunct to the existing pharmaceutical approach to modern medicine. The

discovery of ACE-pigments within diseased human tissues and their production in

stealth viral cultures have provided fresh insights into cellular energy

pathways. Certain natural products have ACE-like activities when used to promote

the growth and health of plants. Some of these products have been tried in

humans with encouraging results. More extensive studies on these products are

warranted.
