The Body Electric

[DK Matai]

Dear Friends

Scientists are now asking the fundamental question: What is Magnetite
doing in the human brain? Biomagnetism is the phenomenon of magnetic
fields produced by living organisms; it is a subset of
Bioelectromagnetism. The first valid measurement of Biomagnetism was
actually made in 1963, and the field began to expand only after a low-
noise technique was developed in 1970. The present scientific
definition took form in the 1970s, when an increasing number of
researchers began to measure the magnetic fields produced by the human
body.

The discovery of a Biogenic material -- one formed by a biological
organism -- with ferromagnetic properties and found to be Magnetite
was the first breakthrough toward an understanding as to why some
animals have the ability to detect the earth's magnetic field.

The study of the biological effects of magnetic fields is
Magnetobiology. The word biomagnetism is sometimes used loosely, to
include Magnetobiology, that is, to encompass almost any combination
of the words magnetism and biology. The origin of the word
biomagnetism is unclear, but seems to have appeared several hundred
years ago, linked to the expression "animal magnetism."

According to Einstein, matter is to be regarded as the mainfest part
-- the principle part -- of the electromagnetic field, and electric
energy is therefore the fundamental origin of our entire physical
world. Consequently, in work published by The Academy For Future
Science it has been cited that: "under present biological conditions,
evolutionary development in living bodies from earliest inception
follows unicellular semiconductivity, as a living piezoelectric
matrix, through stages which permit primitive basic tissues -- Glia,
Satellite and Schwann cells -- to be supportive to the neurons in the
human system where the primary source is electrical. This has been
especially shown in bone growth response to mechanical stress and to
fractures which have been demonstrated to have characteristics of
control systems using electricity."

Searches for Biogenic magnetite in human tissues had not been
conclusive until the beginning of the 1990s when work with high-
resolution transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction
on human brain tissue extracts of the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and
meninges -- membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord --
identified magnetite-maghemite crystals. These magnetite crystals were
found to be organised into linear, membrane-bound chains a few
micrometres in length, with up to 80 crystals per chain.

Scientists are now asking the fundamental question: What is Magnetite
doing in the human brain? In Magnetite-containing bacteria, the answer
is simple: Magnetite crystals turn the bacteria into swimming needles
that orient with respect to the earth's magnetic fields. Magnetite has
also been found in animals that navigate by compass direction, such as
bees, birds, and fish, but scientists do not know why the Magnetite is
present in humans, only that it is there!

We have also seen in research done in the late 1980s that proteins,
DNA, and transforming DNA function as piezoelectric crystal lattice
structures in nature. The piezoelectric effect refers to that property
of matter which may convert electromagnetic oscillations to mechanical
vibrations and vice versa. Studies with exogenously administered
electromagnetic fields have shown that both transcription (RNA
synthesis) and translation (protein synthesis) can be induced by
electromagnetic fields and furthermore that direct current in bone
will produce osteochondrogenesis (bone formation) and bacteriostasis,
as well as affect Adenosine TriPhosphate (ATP) generation, protein
synthesis and membrane transport.

Ongoing research has shown that bone has electrical properties. The
bone matrix is a biphasic -- two-part -- semiconductor, ie a
crystalline solid with an electrical conductivity. The collagen
component of bone matrix is an N-type semiconductor and the apatite
component a P-type. When tested for piezoelectricity, collagen turns
out to be a piezoelectric generator while apatite is not. These
function as two semiconductors, one an N-type, the other a P-type
forming a PN-junction, which sets up a potential barrier and acts as
an efficient rectifier, ie a semiconductor diode!

Mechanical stress on the bone thus produces a piezoelectrical signal
from the collagen. The signal is biphasic, switching polarity with
each stress-and-release. The signal is rectified by the PN-junction
between apatite and collagen. The strength of the signal tells the
bone cells how strong the stress is, and its polarity tells them what
direction it comes from. Osteogenic (bone forming) cells, which have
been shown to have a negative potential, would be stimulated to grow
more bone, while those in the positive area would stop production of
matrix and be resorbed when needed. If bone growth and resorption are
part of one process, the electrical signal acts as an analog code to
transfer information about stress to the cells and trigger the right
response. Hence, stress is converted into an electrical signal.

An interesting property of PN-junctions of semiconductor diodes may be
observed when current is run though the diode in forward bias, ie when
there is a good current flow across the barrier. Some of the energy is
turned into light and emitted from the surface and are therefore known
as light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Researchers found that bone was an
LED that required an outside source of light before an electric
current would make it release its own light, and the light it emitted
was at an infrared frequency invisible to us, but consistent...

With the use of an applied current of a few microamperes regeneration
of the spinal cord, optic nerve and bone has been demonstrated and
naturally generated electric currents have been linked to changes in
developing embryos and in regenerating limbs.

The community of biomagnetic researchers does not have a formal
organisation yet, but international conferences are held every two
years, with about 600 attendees. Most conference activity centres
around the MEG (MagnetoEncephaloGram), the measurement of the magnetic
field of the brain.

In the human brain, pyramidal cells are present and arranged in layers
in the cortex of the two cerebra. The pyramidal cells act as electro-
crystal cells immersed in extra-cellular tissue fluids, and seem to
operate in the fashion of a liquid crystal oscillator in response to
different light commands, or light pulses which, in turn, change the
orientation of every molecule and atom within the body.
Biogravitational encoded switches present in the brain allow a type of
liquid network to release ions that induce currents to the surrounding
coiled dendrites. Electron impulses from a neuron, on reaching the
dendrite coil of the abutted cell, generate a micro amperage magnetic
field, causing the ultra thin crystal, or liquid crystal in the
pyramidal cell to be activated --- in a very unusual way. On flexing,
this ultra thin crystal becomes a piezoelectric oscillator, producing
a circular polarised light pulse that travels throughout the body, or
travels as a transverse photonic bundle of energy!

During the past decades a great increase has taken place in research
on the effects of non-ionising electromagnetic radiation on biological
systems. Much has been revealed about the human organisms on all
levels but the question still being asked by scientists is: What
electromagnetic signal might tune to a magnetic resonant energy which
would alter the metabolic genetic regulation to bring about growth and
repair? It has been considered by some scientists such as Dr H Coetzee
that tRNA molecules may play a central roll to cause cells to alter
their normal properties which will then receive the original genetic
transmission, given through a 'spin point' to a cell. These
transmissions at the spin points, as discussed through research at The
Academy For Future Science, may provide regenerating instruction for
the manufacture of enzymes and proteins which are the building blocks
for the 'new tissue' or the 'new organ form' which is regenerated on
the physical plane. Projecting energy into the spin point allows for
the formation of a blastema (mass of primitive type cells) that gives
rise to the regenerated tissue. Thus, through the spin point, cells
become the tissue responsible for the generation and transmission of
direct current signals used in regeneration processes.
