Abstract
It has been experimentally proven that all organisms receive cues from the local EM environment which regulate their metabolic activities. Recent studies of epigenesis suggest that genetic expression is influenced by EMFs, and that the evolution of all organisms has been guided to a certain extent by local EMFs. In this way, organisms may be considered as an expression of the environment. This is far different from many current notions (cultural, medical, and scientific) that organisms are not linked to the environment and therefore one could hope to correct a dysfunction by altering a single component (molecule, cell, organ) and expect normalization.
The model which can be suggested here is that of electromagnetically incorporating an organism into its environment. This can be accomplished by any device that can modify the EM state of an organism (naturally, the majority of concern is on humans) on a general level so that a good balance of adaptability and integrity with the environment can be restored.

Introduction

Though ‘holism’ is quickly becoming the most over-used and ubiquitous notion in recent years, it is difficult to argue against its importance. Paradoxically, nearly everyone has a different construct of what exactly holism means as perception, cultural values, spiritual beliefs, and knowledge vary from individual to individual. There is an ever growing body of evidence which suggests that electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are not simply a passive aspect of the environment and that the electromagnetic state of an organism contributes to its ‘wholeness’.
While some critics argue that there is no interaction between EMFs and biological systems, enough concern has been raised in the last few years regarding the harmful effects of EMFs that nearly all industrialized nations are currently conducting research and have established certain guidelines for field exposure limits.1 Historically, it has been easier for humans to harm than to heal, and the situation is no different with EMFs. The authors feel it is crucial that an organism be treated as a whole when EMF therapy is employed. The rational for this electromagnetic holism is described below.


The Electromagnetic Environment
The Electromagnetic Environment

It has been experimentally proven that all organisms receive cues from the local EM environment which regulate their metabolic activities.2,3 EMFs have also been shown to alter the morphogenesis of Drosophila melanogaster in the same manner as various other environmental changes (e.g., changes in altitude alter the form of certain plant species).4 In this way, organisms can be considered an expression of the local environment with the genetic structure acting as a stabilizing element.5
Further evidence that all organisms are derived from the environment comes from Andrew Weil who notes that most synthetic pharmacological substances are only semi-synthetic in that they are nearly always based on a natural compound (the ‘active ingredient’ of a plant or part of a plant) with a slight shift in the structure of the molecule. This is because humans do not generally respond well to purely synthetic substances, and in the case of psychoactive substances, the brain lacks the appropriate neurotransmitter to distinguish the substance and respond.6
It may seem like splitting hairs or academic frivolity to argue that life is dependent on the environment, however when dealing with health and disease, disavowing the web-like character of organism and surroundings has lead to many disasters. Few would argue that organisms and machines operate in the same manner, yet very often diagnostic and therapeutic methods are approached in the same manner for both. The notion of the whole within the part has gained acceptance among physicists, and this notion is easily extrapolated to biological systems. In this way, attempting to treat a single component of an organism (cell, tissue, organ, etc.) will likely result in failure as it ignores the effects that the part has had on the whole.
It is one thing to say that EMFs have an effect on organisms, but quite another to distinguish the process enhancing from the process degrading signals. The next section explores the possibilities of healing with EMFs.



Evidence for Healing with EMFs
Evidence for Healing with EMFs

Arguably, Nikola Tesla understood electricity on a more fundamental level than anyone else has before him or since. In the 1930s Tesla and Georges Lakhovsky constructed the Multiple Wave Oscillator: a generator of life-associated frequencies from 750 kHz to 3 MHz and numerous harmonics. He reported several successful applications of the device (some medical reports from the 1930s are quoted in ref. 7) in cancer treatment and various metabolic disorders in plant, animal and human patients.
Among others, Robert O. Becker and Cyril Smith have written popular books which describe the history of bioelectromagnetism as well as their own positive experience in employing EMFs for healing processes. Becker’s work focuses on bone, nerve and tissue regeneration using exogenous stimulation sources and reports success in the mending of bones, which for one reason or another, refused to heal. One of the most stunning accounts is an experiment where a 1 nanoamp battery was implanted in the stump of an amputated rat foreleg and induced histologically completed regeneration.8
Smith and his colleagues challenged electrically sensitive patients with various artificially generated frequencies, and the patients produced allergic responses which corresponded to their familiar reactions to chemicals for certain frequencies. Smith has also performed experiments where an allergy patient was brought into close proximity of a sealed vessel containing a know allergen to that patient. Despite the absence of a possible chemical interaction, the patient nonetheless produced an allergic response.9
Smith suggests that people with allergies are oversensitive to EMFs and are therefore improperly responding to the EMF of certain substances. The question which arises now is: what are the mechanisms of disturbance and how can an understanding of these mechanisms further the possibilities of correcting pathologies which arise from them? By looking at this question holistically, another factor, that of an organism’s ability to communicate with the environment, needs to be considered.

Communication Breakdown

Louis-Marie Vincent has recently proposed a new approach to information by providing a conceptual tool adapted to biology.10 According to this concept, a message does not carry any information, only data. It is the receiver which makes an identification by recognizing the forms. Fritz-Albert Popp has demonstrated that incoherent signals are not recognized by organisms.11
In developing a theory for the mechanism of homeopathy, Emilio del Giudice, suggests that the EM information of a substance can be transduced into the surrounding water molecules (for instance, by affecting the field produced by large clusters of molecules), so that when the substance is diluted out, the information is retained in the water. Del Giudice writes, “the homeopathic remedy works only if it is meaningful to the array of previously existing signals in the organism; otherwise it is washed out.”12 William Ross Adey elaborates on this notion of ‘meaningful’ information in writing, “Biological effects of oscillating environmental electric fields are related to the electric gradient which they introduce in the tissue. This will be determined by the degree of coupling between the field and the tissues.”13
This may seem all too convenient to have a self-regulating mechanism where the body can either accept or reject information based on need. However, this ‘windowing effect’ is what Adey realized after studying the behavioral and neurophysiological effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) and modulated radiofrequency (RF) fields as well as the responses of calcium ion binding in tissues to ELF and RF fields.14-16 The occurrence of such “biological” electromagnetic windows is also evident from several of the studies described above.17,18 The natural dynamic complementarity of the endogenous and environmental electromagnetic signals (frequency, amplitude, phase and the composition of complex signals) ensures a very fine selectivity of the available information from the electromagnetic noise as well as preventing an organism’s “dissolving” in the environmental electromagnetic fields.
A ‘communication breakdown’ may occur when a biological system becomes too tired (what is often referred to as a lack of vital energy) to recognize the windows of meaningful information that is needed by the system in order to regulate itself. As humans have simultaneously introduced artificially generated signals (EMF pollution), and relocated the Earth’s minerals and soil and subsequently altered the landscape (and therefore the local naturally occurring EMFs), the possibility of a biological system to recognize and select what it needs has diminished enormously since the Industrial Revolution.


Reintegration and Restoration of the Whole
Reintegration and Restoration of the Whole

When an organism is treated on a more general level of its functional dynamic hierarchy, it is easier to restore the physiological communication pathways within it and thus activate the endogenous healing processes. Alterations in the biophysical parameters, primarily electrophysical, occur at general levels of the organism’s functional hierarchy. Therefore, they are responsible for very subtle intimate mechanisms of the organism’s self-regulation and inter-level communication. Electromagnetic resonance interactions between the endogenous electromagnetic oscillations of organisms occur in living systems; however, an attempt to detect them is a rather complicated problem.12 Nevertheless, a still growing number of therapeutic devices, which use such kinds of interactions, is elaborated on in ref. 18. For example, the more than 15 years of ‘devices for bioresonance treatment’ utilization in various European clinics evidence their efficacy in the treatment of many diseases.19-21 They are designed to use resonance interactions between endogenous electromagnetic oscillations. Every level of an organism’s hierarchy possesses a characteristic spectrum of endogenous electromagnetic oscillations originating from various processes. Intra- and inter-level resonances should occur to maintain wholeness, hence providing correlations between these processes.
Possible mechanisms of the interactions of endogenous and environmental electromagnetic signals have been investigated by Hippocampus Research Facilities for the last four years. In these studies, various sub-cellular and cellular characteristics were measured under bioresonance conditions.23-26 Though the objects of study vary greatly, one of the processes common to all reactions is that the most pronounced alterations occur within a certain frequency range (the windowing effect). And it is interesting to note that, for example, a decrease in tumor growth and number of metastases is observed in sarcoma-bearing mice, treated with EEMF in vivo; whereas EEMF treatment of sarcoma cell cultures in vitro then inoculating the treated cells into mice does not result in any antitumor effect. This suggests that the antitumor effect of bioresonance treatment is due rather to the activation of endogenous antitumor mechanisms in mice than to the direct influencing of tumor cells.27
From this point of view a pathology, which may be born at any level, will perturb all oscillations via wave interactions, irrespective of the origin of such waves. The distorted interference pattern of the endogenous waves of a sick organism is a reflection of its improper biochemical processes. Numerous positive experiences in the application of electromagnetic therapy devices makes it possible to assume that device-induced restoration of the interference pattern will renovate physiological order in a sick organism. The problem is to isolate basic processes (and the frequencies which correspond to their time scales) which are common to all levels of an organism’s hierarchy in certain frequency ranges and can thus open pathways of inter-level signal transduction.
The model which can be suggested here is that of electromagnetically incorporating an organism into its environment. This can be accomplished by any device that can modify the EM state of the body on a general level so that a good balance of adaptability and integrity with the environment can be restored.
Taking the model to it’s next logical step, the Cerebellum Multifunction Medical Instrument (CMMI) was developed in order to diagnose a body by measuring its general-level EM state. First, the degree of balance and adaptability between the body and the environment is determined. That having been established, a physician can then isolate specific pathologies, or imbalances, by measuring the reactions to body constituent substances.
For gaining a larger community of users, easy to use portable devices have been developed both, for professional (L.I.F.E. System, Mobil Cell-Com) and personal use (Lenyo Lux and Lenyo Mobil). Also systematic education as been started by the Hippocampus Institute as well in Europe as in America (for America please, contact hippocampusamerica@yahoo.com).
Science is often criticized for being irrelevant to everyday life. By physically describing the subtle and intimate features of organisms, the link between our collective experiences and science becomes clearer as well as being more intuitively satisfying.
