The way to get man back on his

feet
Professor B. M. Hegde

Time has come to abandon the disease era of

medicine. We have to concentrate on the
whole human organism for the future
management of altered physiologies.
“There is no science of man,” wrote Nobel Laureate Alexis Carrel in his celebrated
book Man, the Unknown. Modern medicine, even today, nearly 85 years after the
death of conventional science following Werner Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, is
buried in the linear science of Newtonian Physics which believes that man is made up
of matter, which follows certain deterministic predictability patterns. That was before
the new awareness in science of the atom having been made up of smaller sub-atomic
elements. Even more earth- shattering was the discovery that atoms emit various
strange energies such as X-rays and radioactivity.
Newer discoveries in physics showed that matter and energy are the two sides of the
same coin — a duality. (Hans Peter Durr). One should read his article, Matter is not
made out of matter, for the lay people to get a better idea. The human body is but the
human mind in an illusory solid shape. As the famous Johns Hopkins physicist,
Richard Conn Henry, put it in 2005, “This world is immaterial — mental and
spiritual.” Atoms are made out of invisible energy; not tangible matter. Quantum
physics speaks a strange language of “now you see it, now you don't.” Each atom or
molecule has its own unique energy signature.
Everything in this world, including you and me, radiates our unique energy signature.
This new science, which will be the new science of man, nullifies our idea of organ
based diseases, which we started 450 years ago from the time of Vesalius. All organs
have their cells and atoms that have their unique energy signature. Human body is a
colony of 50 trillion happy individual human cells that did exist as unicellular
organisms for millions of years before getting together as this multicellular colony.
Fritz-Albert Popp, a German physicist, has been able to map all our cells using his
biophoton camera where he defines “health as a state where the cells are vibrating in
synch with one another; disease is when they fall out of synch!” The latest
development of science has now accepted the definition of Whole Person Healing
(WPH) for future. (Late Professor Rustum Roy at the IOM meeting in February
2010). Time has come to abandon the disease era of medicine. We have to concentrate
on the whole human organism for the future management of altered physiologies. The
new definition of health is “enthusiasm to work and enthusiasm to be compassionate.”
This comes close to the definition of health in Ayurveda, a much more scientific
healing art, which followed quantum physics from day one long before physicists
discovered quantum physics. Durr does write that the concept of Indian advaita is a
better understanding of quantum world compared to his definition of a-duality.

Our old model had a linear structure which followed the Ford Motor style assembly
line. If biochemical transmission failed between points A and B, the precursor
chemical could accumulate at point A and point B will be depleted of it. The holistic
model is that if there is any such lapse, the effect could be felt in multiple areas and
systems. One example will clarify this. When you are bitten by a spider you get a
severe swelling and itching in the area due to release of the powerful histamine,
locally. But if you treat that with an antihistamine, the latter will go round everywhere
and have dangerous distant effects even in the brain. While histamine increases
capillary permeability locally producing swelling, in the brain histamine enhances the
neuronal function for better output. In our present thinking we give you antihistamine
and your itching stops but the same antihistamine blocks the brain histamine levels
and your brain cells function less, making you very drowsy! This tells us why the
biggest killer today is Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR). Further studies have shown
that any drug we give helps only because of the faith the patient has got in the doctor
(placebo) and the drug has only side-effects! This earth-shaking discovery was made
recently in a multi-centric study in the four leading universities. (Science
Translational Medicine March 2011).

Biological systems like man are redundant. This redundancy makes the same signal to
be used in multiple places in the body to achieve many things economically with
varied behavioural functions. This was the fallacy of our old reductionist model
where we thought one defect one effect and one drug molecule to rectify it. That is
why nature has just given us 25,000 genes. One gene could look after so many
functions. In addition, we have trillions of genes acquired from a multitude of germs
that have become a part of us over millions of years and they live a symbiotic
existence, the so called human meta-genome. When we disturb the germs inside us,
we fall sick! This shows how foolish our expensive search for genetic modelling and
genetic engineering, including stem cell research is. In fact, studies have elegantly
shown that body cells, if needed, could transform themselves into pluripotent stem
cells. Richard Becker showed way back in the 1950s that while a bone fractures, the
blood clot seen under the periosteum could make the red blood cells there to
gradually acquire a nucleus and then put out pseudopodia to become stem cells to
heal the fracture — holistic natural healing!
Physicists have failed to inform the lay public of the purely mental nature of the
universe (man included) and biologists and physicians are yet to understand quantum
physics. There is a nice simple book by a Nobel Laureate biologist; Albert-Szent
Gyorgyi, Introduction to Submolecular Biology. Today bio-chemistry provides the
mechanistic foundation for biomedicine. That branch of science is so out dated that
our researchers have no understanding of the molecular mechanisms that truly
provide for life. The very word animate comes from the proteins in the genetic chain.
They twist and bend like a snake to give us mobility at the molecular level right up to
our movements! In truth, quantum properties of matter can influence the biochemical
reactions as shown above. It is the invisible forces of electromagnetic energy that
keep us alive and all those frequencies like cellphones, microwave ovens, radio
frequencies and even the scalar energy affect our DNA, RNA and protein synthesis.
Similarly the right frequencies of electromagnetic energy could be used for healing
any cell in any organ under any circumstance. We are using such frequencies to treat
killer diseases like heart attacks, brain attacks and any other damage in the cells of
any organ. An added advantage is that energy signals travel at a phenomenal speed of
1, 86,000 miles per second, while chemical transmission is just one centimetre per
second!! While drugs take months to get one back on one's feet after a major illness,
energy healing takes only hours to days!
Living organisms must receive and interpret environmental signals in order to
survive. The signals reach the single cells through their antenna in the cell wall. So
our connection with the outside world is through the cell wall, our true brain. The
environmental signals are our true saviours, God if you like (Bruce Lipton). When
this signal dies, organism dies only to enter another shell to be reborn! Eastern
wisdoms like Ayurveda, Tibetan medicine, Chinese medicine and many other systems
adopted quantum physics eons ago and their ideas of energy channels in the human
body are now proving to be highly scientific. We condemned the whole lot of them as
unscientific mainly because of the pressures from the drug and instrument lobbies.
Instead of understanding human physiology properly, modern medicine created the
monsters of “killer diseases” which are nothing but deviations in physiology and
behaviour from some hypothetical norm as unique disorders and dysfunctions. The
gullible public thinks that they are all killer diseases, thanks to the 24X7-hour
advertisements. Let us understand the human being and try and set the deranged cell
frequencies with suitable alternatives to get man back on his feet.
