SYMPOSIUM OF QUANTUM-INFORMATIONAL MEDICINE QIM 2011:
HOLISTIC APPROACHES & TECHNIQUES BASED ON ACUPUNCTURE & CONSCIOUSNESS
Belgrade, 23-25 September 2011

EDITORS NOTE p.12-14, D. Raković, M. Mićović, S. Arandjelović

ACUPUNCTURE-BASED & CONSCIOUSNESS-BASED HOLISTIC MEDICINE:
QUANTUM-INFORMATIONAL PSYCHOSOMATIC FRAMEWORK


Contemporary medicine has put its emphasis on „alopatic-dosed non-economic“ highly pharmaceutic-oriented medicine technologies. On the contrary, in the past years more attention is payed to bioadequate „homeopatic-dosed economic“ bioresonant quantum-informational medicine technologies, related to usage of such values of the field energy, appearing in normal functioning of human organism [1–4]. On these lines, contemporary investigations of psychosomatic diseases imply the necessity of application of holistic methods, oriented to healing the person as a whole and not disease as a symptom of disorder of the whole, suggesting their macroscopic quantum origin [3,4].

In the focus of these quantum-holistic methods are body's acupuncture system and consciousness – which have quantum-informational structure of quantum-holographic Hopfield-like associative neural network, within the Feynman propagator version of Schrödinger equation [5] – with very significant quantum-holographic psychosomatic implications [3]. In this context, it should be noted that Resonant Recognition Model (RRM) of biomolecular recognition implies that on the biomolecular level information processing is going on in the inverse space of Fourier spectra of the primary sequences of biomolecules [6], similarly to (quantum) holographic ideas that cognitive information processing is going on in the inverse space of Fourier spectra of the perceptive stimuli [7], thus supporting idea on quantum-holographic fractal coupling of various hierarchical levels in biological species.

In the context of quantum-informational bioresonant therapies [3,4,8,9], their goal would be a resonant re-emitting of corresponding band of electromagnetic (EM) spectrum of microwave/ultralowfrequency-modulated radiation of the treated psychosomatically disordered (palpatory painful) state (as one of hundreds possible disordered states) thus enabling that its initial memory attractor is resonantly excited becoming more shallower and wider on the account of deepening of the (energy-dominating) attractor of healthy acupuncture (palpatory painless) state – which is then altogether quantum-holographically projected on the lower EM quantum-holographic cellular level, thus changing the expression of genes [3]. In this context, homeopathy might be also categorized into quantum-informational bioresonant therapies, as (non)disolved homeopathic initial substance [10-12] with characteristic EM memory-attractor states (like any other substance, as demonstrated by muscle test of the Applied kineziology [13]), can interact with macroscopic quantum-sensory EM level of the acupuncture system/consciousness and imprint inthere its program of homeopathic correction.

On the other hand, in the context of quantum-informational meridian (psycho)therapies [3,14], via simultaneous effects of visualization of the treated (psychologically traumatic) problem and tapping/touching upon the selected acupuncture points, new boundary conditions are imposed in the energy-state space of the acupuncture system/consciousness, and memory attractor of the initial psychosomatic disorder becomes shallower and wider, with greater overlap and followed associative integration into memory attractor of normal (energy-dominating) ego-state. In this context, techniques of energy healing of the acupuncture system/consciousness [15], positively-visualizing meditation healing [16], and various psychotherapeutic techniques for recognition/integration of psychological conflicts and personality growth [17]) might be also categorized into quantum-informational therapies, via introspective emotional/ traumatic excitation with imposed new (psychologically healing) boundary conditions in the energy-state space of the acupuncture system/consciousness.

In the same context it is important to make half-a-year diagnostics and balansing of the acupuncture system, whose disbalanse presumably originates from the restituted patient’s mental loads from his non-reprogrammed mental transpersonal environment of the quantum-holographic collective consciousness [3] (as supported by the Tibetan pulse diagnostics, enabling precise diagnosis of psychosomatic disorders not only of the patient himself but also of his family members and enemies [18]).

This implies that memory attractors of quantum-holographic network of collective consciousness might be treated as psychosomatic collective disorders which represent generalized field-related quantum-holistic records (including inter-personal finally-reprogramable nonlocal loads, via hesychastic prayer or circular psychotherapies from all relevant meta-positions included in the problem [3]) – which might represent basis of quantum-informational medicine of collective consciousness.

So, on the basis of this quantum-holographic context, it might be said that three front lines of integrative psychosomatic medicine do exist [3]: (1) Spirituality and circular (psycho)therapies from all relevant meta-positions, with possibility of permanent erasing of mutual memory attractors on the level of collective consciousness; (2) Eastern (quantum)holistic medicine and non-circular (psycho)therapies, whose efforts temporary erase memory attractors on the level of acupuncture system/individual consciousness, and prevent or alleviate their somatization, as a consequence of the indolence on the first level; (3) Western symptomatic medicine, whose activities on the somatic level via immunology, pharmacology, biomedical diagnostics and surgery hinder or soothe somatized consequences of the carelessness on the first two levels. It should be stressed, that necessary activities on the second and third levels, with neglect of the first level, have a consequence of further transfer of memory attractors on the level of individual and collective consciousness in this and further generations, thus accumulating quantum-holographic loads which afterwards cause not only illnesses, but also interpersonal fights, wars, and other troubles.

Symposium “Quantum-Informational Medicine QIM 2011: Acupuncture-Based & Consciousness-Based Holistic Approaches & Techniques” provides fundamental quantum-informational framework for better understanding of the nature of psychosomatic diseases as well as limitations of the healing methods, which might help in developing strategies for psychosomatic integrative medicine in the 21st century.

The Editors are indebted to their institutions and numerous sponsors, as well as to members of QIM 2011 Program Commitee, Organizing Commitee, and Secretariat, for logistic support to QIM 2011. We also kindly acknowledge QIM 2011 Symposium plenary and oral speakers and QIM 2011 Workshop teachers for their reports on pioneer research and enthusiastic work in the emerging field of acupuncture-based & consciousness-based holistic medicine and all QIM 2011 Round Table Knowledge Federation Dialog Belgrade 2011 invited participants for their related critical consideration of partial and holistic oriented approaches to physics and engineering, medicine and biology, psychology and transpersonal phenomena, art and philosophy, society and religion.

MODERN VIEWS OF MECHANISMS & CLINICAL EFFECTS OF MM EM RADIATION
B. P. Grubnik (Ukraine) Abstract. Electromagnetic radiation of a millimeter range (ERHF) has versatile influence on a human body and, first of all, on processes of regulation and homeostasis maintenance. Realization of this influence is appreciably provided at the expense of subcellular, cellular mechanisms of regulation of functions and is caused by a number of features. One of the cores, its multilevel character, is: effects of influence are shown at all levels of the biological organization of an organism. In the mechanism of influence ERHF on a human body unique feature is possibility of its resonant interaction with endogenic ERHF. ERHF affects practically all known types of cages (nervous, muscular, reception, etc.) in modeling systems of any level of the organization of biological object. Mechanisms of this influence are defined by specificity of arising changes of functional parameters of a cage, its separate components caused by influence of the given kind of radiation at molecular and sub-molecular level of the organization of a cage. Possibility of updating under the influence of ERHF physics – chemical properties of a plasmatic membrane, activity of enzymes, ionic transport, permeability of cellular membranes, processes of aggregation of cages – are shown. The expressed influence of ERHF on electric activity of separate neuron is shown. Influence of Microwave Resonance Therapy (МRТ) on a sick organism promotes restoration of an aerobic way of recycling of glucose by cells. The extensive clinical and experimental material is testifying changes of the immune status of sick people and after influence of MRT the activity of immune cells is saved up. It is shown that the irradiation of blood of ulcer patients in vitro leads to restoration of the lowered metabolic activity of leukocytes, fagocytic activity of neutrofills, and monocytes. MRT normalizing impact on coagulation system is observed at diseases of cardiovascular system, in particular stenocardias. Usage of MRT at sick of hypertensive illness of I stage restores compensatory possibilities of cardiovascular system, with favorable normalizing impact on hemodynamics. MRT is effective at treatment of gastro duodenal ulcers, at neurologic patients, in complex treatment of patients with hyperplastic processes in a uterus, treatment of gynecologic diseases, in treatment orthopedic, diseases of an urological profile, at treatment of a chronic obstructive bronchitis, in treatment of oncological patients of SH-1Y stage, at sick of a cerebral atherosclerosis, in preventive maintenance and treatment of paresis, a gastro enteric path after operations, treatment of a children's cerebral paralysis. Primary effects concern the general for cages of an organism of the processes underlying ability to live – fabric breath, mechanisms of electronic carrying over. Secondary effects of display of influence of MRT on biological object are defined by hierarchy of levels of the organization peculiar for given biological object. At higher levels of the organization of metaphytes (organic system, level of a complete organism), effects of influence MRT cover the increasing range of displays. At these levels of the biological organization, the increasing role is played by normalization of broken regulation mechanisms – hormonal, nervous, immune, and restoration of the broken functions of separate tissue, bodies, systems of bodies, adaptation-compensatory organism systems. The analysis of results of the usage of MRT in clinical practice allows to conclude that efficiency of microwave resonance therapy is defined not only specifically on the concrete form of diseases, but also in depth of infringement adaptive-compensatory organism systems, convertibility of organic changes in bodies and fabrics. The extensive actual material testified to the various parties of the ERHF influence on biological objects is the basis for the further expansion of a range of searches of applied use of methods of MRT in medicine.

ON QUANTUM PHYSICS OF THE ALIVE AND QUANTUM MEDICINE
S. P. Sitko, I. Chervony (Ukraine) Abstract. Quantum Physics of the Alive is based on the definition of the Alive (in its distinction from the Dead-inanimate) as a fourth level of quantum organization of Nature (after nuclear, atomic and molecular levels). Self-consistent potential of each living object is formed in accordance with genome as a laser of mm-range wavelength. Such a notion concerning the Alive, grounded on theoretical considerations, clinical material and the direct experiments, allows us to cast a fresh glance on the fundamental problems of biology and not only on them…

THE ANALYSIS OF BIOLOGICAL SIGNALS AND GENETICALLY DETERMINED
FUNCTION OF AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
B. Milovanović, V. Radivojević, S. Mutavdžin, B. Milovanović, T. Krajnović (Serbia) Abstract. It is very known fact that according to some new studies hypertension and resting heart rate are genetically determined. According to some studies heart rate variability is the constant related to type of autonomic pattern. Owing to this fact that function of autonomic nervous system is constant, the treatment of diseases could be evaluated using different groups related to type of dysfunction. This is the first but very important step in the development of general principles of personalised medicine. In order to reveal right type of autonomic disorder we used short and long term of HRV analysis with special Ansa Scan Software. A comprehensive study protocol was done including finger blood pressure variability (BPV) and heart rate variability (HRV) beat-to-beat analysis and nonlinear analysis, 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring with QT and HRV analysis, 24-hour blood pressure (BP) monitoring with systolic and diastolic BPV analysis, cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests, cold pressure test, and mental stress test. The patients were also divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic groups, depending on predominance in short term and long term spectral analysis. In the second level of treatment of patients, we used drugs which are in complementary relationship to the type of autonomic pattern.

HOMEOPATHY: ENERGY-INFORMATIONAL HOLISTIC VIEWPOINT
L. Trifunović (Serbia) Abstract. Homeopathy is a medical system founded by the German doctor and chemist Samuel Christian Hahnemann (1755 – 1843) who had profound insight into life, the human body, health and disease. Only recently modern scientific disciplines, such as quantum physics, have started to explain the discoveries to which Hahnemann came intuitively. Homeopathy, contrary to conventional western medicine, is based on the belief that humans are much more than their material physical body. Homeopathy recognizes levels of existence that are not perceivable by our five senses. The core of our being is made of energy, our vital force. It abides at the energy level, but manifests itself on three different levels. The most subtle level of its manifestation is the mental level where it manifests as thoughts, the next level is our emotional level where it manifests as emotions, and on the physical level its manifestation is material body. When the vital force is in its natural state of balance, its ideal state, it is manifested as mental, emotional and physical health. However, if our vital force is out of balance it is considered in homeopathy as disease. This disease will be expressed by our vital force as pathological symptoms on the mental, emotional and physical levels, extending the concept of disease that classical medicine upholds. For homeopathy disease is possible only at the energy level. Symptoms on the mental, emotional and physical level are only the external, visible manifestation of the disease. In homeopathy influences on the vital force that throw it out of balance are called miasms. Miasm is a word of Greek origin which means pollution, impurity, or stain. Hippocrates was the first to use word miasm to explain how diseases are spread by air, water, or other ways. If we treat a single case of pneumonia we can heal it as an acute illness without understanding of miasms. However, if it reoccurs with other illnesses of the respiratory tract, this means there is a tendency towards these diseases. Our aim is to address the tendency and we cannot heal it without the understanding of miasms. Miasms are pathological energy fields that influence the vital force and keep it out of balance. This causes a predisposition towards different kinds of diseases that occur repeatedly, or towards a chronic disease with various complications and the onset of low immunity. As miasms are energetic influences, they could be treated only by other energetic influences, which can be homeopathic remedies. The therapeutic effects of homeopathic remedies are not based on biochemical reactions as in classical medicine, but on the interaction of energies.

CHINESE CONCEPT OF FIVE PHASES (WU XING - 五行) IN THE LIGHT OF SYSTEMS SCIENCE
N. Mišić (Serbia) .... Therefore, we first tried to unify these concepts and then to bring them in connection with certain mathematical, physical and biological systems and models, with particular reference to the meridian system. This analysis enabled the comprehension of Five Phases as a hierarchical 3D model through the self-similarity symmetry, which is consistent with the observed fractal organization in living systems and with a holistic view of the human body, providing the support for Integrative Medicine.

HARMONIZATION OF HUMAN BODY SYSTEM BY HARMONIZED EM RADIATION
WHICH EXCITED LONGITUDINAL MECHANICAL WAVES under 2m IN BIOMOLECULES
A. S. Tomić, G. Marjanović, R. Vojnić-Tunić, Dj. Koruga (Serbia) Abstract. The opto-magnetic method [1] is successful applicable to skin properties determination and description. We applied method on “bio-resonant massager”, device produced and applied to bio-medical purposes by Rudolf Vojnić-Tunić, specially adapted Tesla’s coil, working with 4 W power and impetus on frequency in range kHz. How works special camera and software of opto-magnetic device, we demonstrated on example of young man with skin problems, before and after application of Tesla’s coil massager. In these circumstances positive influence of harmonized electro-magnetic radiation in frequent band 880 Hz-125 MHz appears as source of longitudinal low energy mechanical waves in bio-molecules with under 2m, or wave length equal and shorter than human body length. Belong to holistic concept in medicine, it assume fact that human body works as system which presumption for function are harmonization of all subsystem into human body system. According to our previous theoretical investigation [2] we concluded that mechanism of influence to bio-molecules presents non-linear process known as maser effect.

MADU MAGNETOTHERAPY
D. Mandić, D. Đorđević, D. Cvetković, S. Kažić, J. Popović (Serbia)
and its therapies, in bone fractures, osteoneogenesis, rheumatoid artritis, angiogenesis, and neuroneogenesis.
Abstract. The Earth magnetism belongs to one of four natural central forces that have made significant contribution to survival and health preservation of all the life. The substitutional therapy of MADU new medical technology is based on application of two inventions acclaimed as patents and registered as medical devices. The MADU therapy is aknowledged as new health technology in 2007 by Ministry of Health, Republic of Serbia (No. 022-04-19/2006-07), and it includes the application of Trap for shell fragments (first patent) for displacement and evacuation of foreign ferrous remaining fragments, as well as MADU strip (second patent) with wide application field. The confirmed indications, based on experience in medical practice up to now, are: (i) Faster and more complete development of callus in bone fracture; (ii) Delivery of medicaments with ferromagnetic and paramagnetic properties; (iii) Non-invasive displacement and evacuation of ferrous foreign bodies; (iv) Preventive and curative with vein deformations; (v) Immobilization of thrombus for its faster rechanellization; (vi) More lavish oxygen delivery by blood into the areas of reduced micro-circulation; (vii) Reduced swelling in the area under the influence of directed deep magnetic field; (viii) Improved viscosity in the arterial and vein blood vessels; and (ix) Faster and improved regeneration of various tissues, especially cartilage. The subtle influence of permanent magnetic field increases and improves metabolic processes and thus stimulates regenerative processes. The processes of cartilage regeneration, angioneogenesis and neuroneogenesis are of great significance for the mankind. The ancient knowledge (as reflexology, acupuncture...) is very effectively used as the basis of opening gap junction channels - prainformative centers in the organisms. The knowledge accumulated throught centuries of human history is explained and scientificaly approved in 1980s. It was more thoroughly studied and presented in the PhD study about magnetic fields, including MADU (D. Djordjević, MD PhD, 2007/2008). The positive results are obtained in treating disorders of osteoarticular system (ISCD-10, M 00-M 99), as well as in treating disorders of peripheral vasscular system (ISCD-10, I 70-I 99). Both of these groups of common diseases, the most sucessfully treated, have huge social-economic and medical relevancy. The MADU therapy could be applied as additional therapy together with contemporary medical procedures. Having in mind the experience gathered through application of MADU and its effects on local and global level, indicational field is getting more and more wider while contraindications and precautions are narrowing down. Thus, this type of magnetotherapy belongs to the future.
bone fractures: Abstract. The human organism does not function solely on the basis of biological and biochemical cellular reactions, but humans are also electromagnetic beings. In cases of very slow healing, the complicated fractures were treated by MADU magnetotherapy with aim to improve the healing of the bone, as MADU field promotes and stimulate calcium ion impact in bone tissue, with very rich vascularization. The gap junction channels (GJCs) are special informational system in bones, which connect not only osteocytes but also all smooth muscle cells in blood vessels of lavishly vascularized bone tissue. The molecular mechanism of electromagnetic field (EMF) and magnetic field (MF) affect metabolism of bone cells in the course of fields’ interference with signal transduction processes, included in hormonal and transmitter, particularly, cytokine regulation of osteoblast function, especially their proliferation and differentiation. The MADU inhibition of IL-1 and TNF-α production disable multiplication of fibroblasts activated by them from a surrounding area, and thereby the replenishment of a defect. More rapid maturation of connective tissue is achieved by MADU, so that increase in osteoblasts activity and Ca2+ metabolism result in increase of minerals deposited into a bone matrix, not only at the surface, but also within a bone depth.

bone regeneration: The possibilities of regeneration of bone tissue through the use of static magnetic field (SMF) are great, especially when the SMF is oriented to North (N) magnetic pole face turned towards the skin. .... The research of the effects of SMF at various inductions of exposition of osteoblast calvary cells in culture have shown dose-dependent proliferation and growth of cells during the activation from static G1 phase to S phase, which increases synthesis of DNA and accelerates cell proliferation.

RA: MADU magnetic strips, which create magnetic deep unipolar field (shortened MADU) with penetration of 55 cm into human body. It was approved by the Ministry of Health of Serbia in 2007. The therapeutic effects include antinflammatory and analgetic effects of magnetic field, activation of enzymes (particularly mettaloenzymes), activation of K/Na pump which promotes shifting of pH value of treated cartilage towards more basic levels which in turn promotes regeneration of chondrocytes and osteocytes. Considering characteristics of magnetic water, continuous stimulation by MADU achieved long-lasting effects in patients with degenerative disease like coxarthrosis and gonarthrosis. ..... No side effects of MADU therapy have been noted. In conclusion, MADU method provides the state of renewed joint space in respect of cartilage and bone and their maintenance in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The process of reparation of the joint space with all the following benefits regarding pain and function, recommends this new non-invasive method as supplementary, with full respect of all scientific and therapeutic methods.

Angiogenesis: The MADU strip is based on MAgnetic Deep Unipolar oriented static magnetic field (SMF), using possibilities of reflexogenic therapy on humans. ... After 2.5 years the clinical examination showed that leg was vital, with normal skin temperature and the outpatient could walk. The leg was saved due to developed microcirculation, oxygenation through new-formed small blood vessels successfully providing vitality of the leg. In conclusion, the applied MADU strips with the guaranteed optimal magnetic field intensity lasting for 10 years, is providing long lasting protective activity in the area of the diseased blood vessels and poor tissue nutrition. The initiation of regenerative processes is performed due to known pathophysiology mechanisms changing acid reaction into alkaline, providing regenerative processes. This medical device is environment-friendly, the method is non-invasive, complement to modern medical procedures. No side effects are noticed.

Neuroregeneration: One or more magnets, in the form of a strip, are placed on the surface of the body on reflexogenic zones (RZ) and focused like a magnetophore on reflexogenic points (RP), with the north face turned towards the skin [North (N) pole or Negative pole (-)]. The first observations of regenerative processes in sensitive and motoric function of injured nerves were detected from 1992 to 1998 while we treated wounded people by Trap for shell fragments. It was scientifically proven that medium SMF of 1-1000 mT has influence on the various biological systems, including morphology, differentiation and/or proliferation of many types of cells. The experimental research has shown that cell migration, measured by the cell’s diffusion constant, depends on the exposition time and the kind of cells and does not depend on vertical or horizontal direction of applied SMF of 30-120 mT. In neural progenitor cells, cultivated under the SMF of 100 mT, exsist significant increase of expression of mRNA for a few types of proneural gen activators, such as Mash1, Math1 and Math3, together with decreased expression of mRNA for repressor type Hes5. The transitional increase of binding DNA nuclear transcription activation factor protein 1, formed from the members of Fos and Jun family in cultivated hyppocampal neurons of the rats, was found. The rats were under the SMF influence of 100 mT during15 min. The significant potenciation of Ca2+ influx mediated by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors was shown, with decrease of expression microtubule-associated protein (MAP-2) neuronal marker throught the expression Ntan1 gen, which includes ubiquitin-proteasome proteolysis process, as so called N-end rule pathway in hyppocampal neurons cultivated under SMF's influence of 100 mT but without cell death. It was detected that influence of SMF causes neuro reactions, confirmed at the maturation of non-matured cells in a culture of neurons of rat's hyppocampus and achieved throught the modulation of expression specially NMDA receptor's subunits. It was proven that neurit sprouting of chicken's embrional ganglia is significantely increased in SMF of 22,5-90 mT. These discoveries give us a hope for the more efficient healing of many neurogical and psychiatric disorders and diseases.

PRAYER AND/OR PSYCHOTHERAPY
V. Jerotić (Serbia) In 21st century, there are numerous worth, less worth and worthless psychotherapeutic methods, at disposal of disordered psychical life of people. But, basically, both prayer and psychotherapy (as ways of self-knowing) are necessary for (both healthy and sick) people.

HEALTH & EXPERIENCE OF HIGHER STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS (UNIFIED FIELD)
Ž. Trišić (Serbia) Abstract. The identification of the unified field by modern physics is only the first glimpse of a new area of investigation that underlies all disciplines of knowledge, and which can be explored not only through objective science but through a new technology of consciousness (Transcendental Meditation, TM), based on capability of human mind to settle into a state of deep silence while remaining awake, and therein to experience a completely unified, simple, and unbounded state of awareness, called pure consciousness, which is quite distinct from our ordinary waking, sleeping or dreaming state of consciousness. This experience is not on the level of thinking, theoretical conjecture, or imagination, but on the level of direct experience. So, even though is a common belief that the unified field of physics is an objective reality of nature while consciousness is a subjective experience, and that the two belong therefore to different categories of existence (one is material another is mental and the two cannot be equated) – we see them as two different modes to approach same reality, unified field or pure consciousness. Each individual nervous system, when refined through practice of TM technique is an instrument through which Unified field becomes accessible for inquiry and investigation through direct experience. Thus, modern physics through its objective method of inquiry has glimpsed a unified field as underlying all of nature, source of order in nature, while by direct experiencing it via TM technique we get influence onto our physiology, which starts working in a more balanced and ordered way. So, we see that TM technique has an important practical application in the area of health. According to Ayurveda (traditional science of life and health) all sickness comes from imbalance. In terms of physiological functioning this means perfect integration and balance from the biochemical and molecular levels to the macroscopic, organismic level.

WESTERN MEDICINE & TRADITIONAL HEALING
I. Kononenko (Slovenija)

MAN AS A QUANTUM-WAVE PSYCHOSOMATIC SYSTEM
G. I. Brekhman (Israel, Russia) Abstract. The author considers the Man from a position of the theory of wave–particle duality of a matter. It has opened existence in a nature of ways of interaction and information interchange between genes, cells, persons, about which we did not suspect or knew a little. The concept of duality has allowed understanding the riches of the information contained in the man that has enabled to consider him as a psychosomatic system and to explain some features of thinking and behaviour of the people, sources of their talents and problems, and also feature of functioning in a society and relations with each other. In the certain measure the concept of duality gives an explanation of reasons of diseases, and gives interpretation to methods of treatment, which (despite of the efficiency) ascribe to alternative and do not admit by official medicine.

He substantiated and used the holistic approach and nonstandard method of psychoelectroregulation in these patients which gave the long-term results.

BIOENERGY, BIOFIELD, AURA: ON THEIR NATURE AND PIP CAMERA MEASURING
Lj. Ristovski (Serbia) Abstract: There are a variety of doctrinal descriptions of the bioenergies and biofields in different AM systems, which are expressed in different terms and vocabularies, because their origins belong to the different culture traditions. This variety of doctrinal descriptions leads to the irreconcilable differences between the different AM systems, as well as between the majority of them and actual science. However, the supporters of some AM systems exert a trend to express the contents of theirs doctrines using the terms and vocabulary of actual science. In this way, they facilitates the beginning of a dialog with actual science, as well as the reaffirmation of many serious scientific investigations of the phenomena in alternative medicine, which are accomplished during last almost five decades on the periphery of the actual science. In the further, it will be considered the variations of AM doctrines which manifest an interest to establish a dialog with actual science by accepting the terms and vocabulary of actual science, independently on the manner by that the doctrine content is expressed. The main objective of this paper is to show that a small effort will help to achieve consensus on the terminology used in the AM doctrines with scientific terminology. This will help to terms with the same name means the same, although we cannot expect that it will obviously speed up the convergence of doctrine and scientific views about the AM phenomena. Nevertheless, this progress can be expected because the large difference is between felt and measured bioenergy, between seen and photographed. Therefore, the attention is devoted to experimental techniques that allow any type of detection or visualization of the subtle entities of alternative medicine (bienergy, biofield, aura). For reasons that will be later explained, particular attention will be devoted to the PIP (Polycontrast Interference Photography) imaging, which is the unique real time imaging technique. Certainly the most important result of the application of PIP imaging system is the visualization of the energy changes in the human aura, which may be due to bio-energetic, or any other AM therapeutic treatment. It should be noted that the PIP system provides information that enables qualitative analysis but not quantitative analysis of the bio-energetic phenomena. In addition, it is recommended as a diagnostic tool also. However this recommendation must be accepted very cautiously, as will be discussed later.

REIKI & SPIRITUALITY
M. Milenković, M. Mićović (Serbia) Abstract. Reiki is an ancient spiritual-energetic method of healing, usually considered to be Japanese, and it is applied along with methods of modern medicine in health care institutions around the world. For many years now Reiki has been considered to be No 1 method of self-help in the world. Reiki primarily helps with reduction of stress, with relaxation, and is also used for mobilizing/activating all defense mechanisms in the human body. It improves the efficiency of all bodily functions, and allows us to reach a state of harmony between the physical, mental and emotional levels of our being. The highly developed, non-standard approach to Reiki allows everyone to acquire selected techniques and use them successfully for self-help, without having to attend traditional training classes, usually required for the Reiki method. Combining of Reiki techniques with acupressure, with breathing and stretching exercises, as well as with mechanisms of the human reflexes and mental orientation, can allow everyone to find their own ways to prevent further development of various health problems, caused primarily by stress. The use of self-help to reduce stress, to relax, improve concentration and memory capacity, to improve one’s mood in general and increase the energy potential of the body, is necessary and easily applied in everyday life. Association Reiki of Serbia is founded in 2001 and has several hundreds members, actively f Serbia is founded in 2001 and has several hundreds members, actively participating in coninuously organized educations and seminars. In participating in coninuously organized educations and seminars. In 2008 Reiki was formally acknowledged by Committee for Regulation of Traditional Medicine, in Serbian Ministry of Health, as a method of improving general health of people. By establishing these regulations it was officialy enabled to introduce Reiki therapy into medical institutions in Serbia.

QUANTUM TRANSFORMATION
S. Simonovska (Austria) Abstract. Quantum Transformation is a practical application of the Two Points Method in the field of healing and life issues solving. Two Points Methods has its roots in the ancient Hawaiian spiritual technique of Huna, rediscovered independently by Dr. Richard Bartlet (Matrix Energetics) and Dr. Frank Kinslow (Quantum Entrainment), with a great contribution of Andrew Blake (QCT-Quantum Consciousness Transformation). Not only because it is easy, simple to use, and at the same time very effective, but also because of the possibility of combining it with other therapeutic and healing techniques, Two Points Method is spreading through Europe very quickly. When two distinct points on the body or aura get connected, Quantum waves are produced, initiating huge changes on all levels and in all areas of life. Quantum Waves initiation makes changes on a deepest level, altering our Matrix. The Matrix contains our deepest beliefs, in other words, fixed attitudes originated from individual consciousness and different life stages (the childhood, the prenatal period, the birth process, conception or inheritance - karma) and fixed attitudes derived from group or collective consciousness. Those subconscious beliefs are often opposed to our conscious beliefs and they are the main cause of our psychological and physical suffering, as well as many diseases. Faster transformation of subconscious beliefs can be achieved using Quantum Waves, which leads toward change of our reality. The essence of Quantum Transformation is pure consciousness. Pure consciousness is actually pure love. Quantum Transformation is a method that uses love energy for healing purposes. Quantum Transformation workshops, using quantum waves, meditation, music, movement and body work “teach us” through experience how to use the energy of love in healing and combining this method with other healing and energy based methods.

ABIKU PHENOMENON: SPIRITUAL ORIGIN AND TREATMENT OF SELF-DESTRUCTIVENESS
M. Tomšić Akengen (Slovenia) Abstract. The philosophy of Ifa with its origin in Africa, where it has been preserved to this very day by the people of Yoruba, contains the entire opus of understanding a human life, character, predestination, destiny and nature. One of the toughest challenges is how to treat (heal) someone, who is born with the energy of Abiku – born to die prematurely (born to experience premature death). Ifa considers the individual top priority, using all the knowledge and instruments it deals with making the individuals life good here and now, in this life. Everyone is born with some sort of predestination. It is not fate, because if something is fated, then the individual has no way of affecting that. But when something is predestinated, someone can realize that or not, because everyone is responsible for his own life. In life we have all that which we can call good luck: progress, longevity, health, luck… But good goes hand-in-hand with destructive energy, and if we wish to achieve the good, we have to neutralize the bad. We can classify destructive energy into four basic destructive elements: death, sickness, failure and confusion. When we consider a person who has the abiku syndrome, it means that these destructive energies are constantly stalking him and that he is under heavy influence in at least one area by some of these elements. When everything seems to go well, and suddenly it seems as if one of these energies got activated, and it gives out the impression of being out of the person’s control. Spiritually it is considered for people with this energy, that they have been heavily involved in a parallel spiritual world. It is considered that they have their own group in the parallel world, which constantly pulls the person back or make his life here unbearable, and make him wish to leave from here sooner.

ENTHEOGENIC SHAMANISM: ANTHROPOLOGY CATEGORY, TRANSPERSONAL DIMENSION OR PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC MODEL
Č. Hadži Nikolić (Serbia) Abstract. The most significant dimension of entheogenic shamanistic ritual, being an essence of therapeutic pracice in isolated groups of Amazonia, is that dimension which touches universal themes, from person’s identity to its place in cosmic scheme. This experience is described as transcending boarders of empirical reality, coming out the framework of profane existence and entering into realm of cosmic existence and meeting with most supreme principle. In psychology literature it is frequently called transpersonal experience, as being denoted a mystical experience in religious terminology. The question arises on characteristics of this experience (if it exists) in the framework of shamanistic concept, as according to many experts on shamanism it does not have this (mystical) component being exclusively oriented to practical purposes of healing. According to shamanistic practice in observed groups, these categories are not excluded mutually. On the contrary, they are complementary, with mystical or transpersonal experience in direct function of healing, if this healing is comprehended in the context of shamanistic concept of disease. As in this mystical experience a person is continuously returning back to his mystical trans-subjective roots and beginnings, a shamanistic return into myth past with myth scenes and symbols achieving significant relationship between a person and universe is completely reasonable. This transition from “here and now” into “there and then” means experience of transcending space and time limitations, i.e. coming out form narrow profane human framework and entering into realm of transpersonal experiences. In this context a shamanistic “road” which basically is searching for absolute, undoubtedly does have elements of mystical. Mystical, however, does not exclude practical goals of this road. On the contrary, mystical or let us call it transpersonal or integrative experience, is complementary in respect to these goals. In other words, this experience is in direct function of shamanistic action, in first place of healing.

BIOLOGICAL DECODING
A. Frauenkron-Hoffmann (Luxemburg), D. Portić (Serbia) Abstract. Sometimes in past, it has been thought that physical and psychical changes or illness is a result of damnation, or evil faith which affects us from external illness causes. Today we have a rather different view on that particular problem. With latest scientific discoveries it has been proven that sickness is a direct response on stressful situations, which in that given moment can’t be processed on mental or emotional level. We do not become ill by coincidence, illness always has a direct link with things going on in our life. If it comes to resolving the problem, we do not get ill, if not, it becomes biological stress (stress of direct life endangerment) which can be an illness generator apropos symptom on physical level. Illness or dysfunction of organism is influenced by very precise biological laws. Two-phased progression of every illness can be traced (Dr. Hamer): symphathicotony and vagothony. This knowledge serves us in apprising direct course of illness (why this illness and not any other one), as it shows a logical flow on emotional, mental and physical level. Our behavioural patterns have crucial part in shaping our way of responding on stressful situation (just that and not any other way). When in stressful situation, our brain begins searching for every kind of data, information and programs which could bring to its solution. In that moment brain chooses the best possible reaction, and influenced by experience - best behavioural pattern, having only one aim and that is to empower further existence. Our brain memorises primarily three types of data which it uses in stressful situations (Useful Biological Program): (i) all experiences and circumstances since birth to this very moment, followed by emotions and perceptions; (ii) all that we have experienced before we were born, since the moment of conception, even our moment of birth are completely integrated in our system; (iii) everything that our ancestors have experienced is also available to our brain. Decoding can be established by endeavouring toward two directions. First course is establishing and explaining crucial cause of stressful situation, therefore it is of at most importance to take precautions against objective circumstances being the trigger for genesis of a disease, but emotional feeling of the individual itself, so as which behavioural pattern will occur in certain stressful situation (different person react differently on the same kind of stress). Second course is releasing old behavioural patterns and gaining new mental pictures which awake new emotions annulling the old ones at the same time. Images from the past are always the cause of our illness. If we could manage to transform our mental images and to them related emotions, we could live healthier in future. Often just the realisation that there is a choice is enough: Stay devoted to old pattern (which in some cases can represent death) or establish new ones. We are not able to become new people, but we can learn how to control old mechanisms which made are ill in the first place!

N. Trifunović, D. Jevdić, A. Jevdić, K. Jevdić (Serbia) Abstract. The aim of this paper is to consider contribution of anomalous intensities of electromagnetic and magnetic fields in etiopatogenesis of mental disorders and diseases. This research has been applying in past 20 years, with objective geophysical evaluation by proton magnetometer produced in USA and geological compass "Brunton". In this period we have examined a couple of hundreds patients with different type of mental disorders (sy anx-depressivum, depression, schizophrenia) both sex and all ages. We applied BPRS scale for sy anx-depressivum, Hamilton scale for depression, and PANSS scale for schizophrenia. Hereby we present several case studies. Results are excellent after the patients spent time in spaces with natural values of EM-M fields. During examination patients were receiving regular medicine (pharmacotherapy). Finally, we will present theoretical model for influence of geomagnetic field and cosmic radiation on the biological evolution.

SIXTY: „NUMBERS ARE LETTERS BY WHICH THE UNIVERSE IS BUILT“
CLASSICAL-QUANTUM AND INFORMATION PHYSICS APPROACH TO LIFE AND MEDICINE
Dj. Koruga (Serbia) Abstract. In this paper serendipity event is presented, which highlights Galileo’s number importance: numbers are letters by which the Universe is built. In our case the simulative effect of the number sixty importance comes from contemporary science: nanotechnology of carbon materials with sixty atoms and molecular structure of clathrin in our brain. However, we found out that roots of number sixty lie hidden in thought of ancient civilization. Moreover, in some way sixty is the part of light (c=lambda x v) as ratio of spatio-temporal unity through wavelength ( in nm) and frequency (v in THz). If we use model of light, of both classical and quantum properties, as model of an existence (life) – then embryogenesis (as the primary quantum process) presents information processing which makes set up of events (with different probabilities) for a life after birth. Which one of these events will happen depends on probability of events in classical information processing during life. Classical and quantum probabilities are complements and compatible to each other. In everyday life this complex manifestation is given as our behavior based on interaction of real-imaginary and rational-irrational pairs dynamics (logic square of our fingerprint).

ONTOGENETIC AND PSYCHOGENETIC INSIGHT INTO THE TRADITIONAL CHAKRAS DOCTRINE
Lj. M. Ristovski (Serbia),,G. S. Davidović-Ristovski (Serbia) Abstract. As it should be expected, the doctrinal theories of traditional medicine obviously belong to the domain of metascience (metaphysics). It means that they are based on revealed truths, which are necessarily expressed by an symbolic and metaphoric language. On the other hand, scientific theories are based on perceived truths, which are expressed by the language, which necessarily excludes the metaphors and symbols. Therefore, symbolic statements, as well as revealed truth, per definitionem cannot be expressed in a rational way, i.e. metascientific content can not be fully expressed in a scientific manner. The aim of this paper is not to translate the traditional (metaphysical) Chakras doctrine into the language of science, but to point out that in that teaching exist the contents which can be scientific interpretated. Namely, Chakras teaching, could survive for so long, only because the practice findings supports it. The traditional medicine practice can not be always explained in a scientific way, but it can not be completely ignored, if they have survived for centuries and millennia, as it is case with Chakras teaching. Specifically, as it will be pointed in this paper, the scientific knowledge about the human ontogenesis and psychhogenesis, can be unambiguously associated with the empirically established findings, which are implicitly included in the Chakras teaching. In addition, based on this correspondence, it is possible to come up to the concept of a psychogenetic explanation of (so called) opening and balancing of chakras. Finally, there are serious indications that the process of opening the chakras can be closely linked to psychiatric regression analysis.

REFLEXOLOGY
D. Djordjević (Serbia), D. Mandić (Serbia) Abstract. Reflexology is a science dealing with mechanisms of origin, development and acting of every kind of reflexes on the all levels of ontophylogenesis. It is interdisciplinary branch of biology, which has its subject, branches, sub-branches, principles, conditions and mechanisms. The subject of reflexology is research on all levels of ontophylogenesis: principles of functioning, mechanisms of origin, development and acting, as well as influence of all kinds of reflexes from the simplest to the most complex. Basic fields of reflexology are: medical reflexology, dentristry (dental) reflexology, veterinary reflexology, animal (zoo) reflexology, and fitoreflexology. Basic branches of reflexology are: reflexodiagnostics, reflexotherapy, reflexoprophylaxis, and reflexoergonomics. Basic methods of reflexology are: physioreflexology, hemioreflexology, and bioreflexology. Basic principles of reflexology are: holographic or quantum-holographic [Tao (holistic) conception or conception of unique wholeness], circulation of energy [meridian’s (Jing-Luo) conception or conception of acupuncture channels (reflexogenic meridians)], ontophylogenic (Haeckel’s law), rhythmic functioning, self-regulation of the body systems, reverberation links (energetics and other influences), action-reaction, reflexogenic aferentation (conditional-unconditional reflex)... In Western medicine, reflexology is a treatment modality which employs only manual pressure to specific areas of the body, usually the feet and the hands, which are thought to correspond to internal organs, in order to generate positive health effects. However, in Eastern medicine and nowadays appearing Integrative medicine, reflexology is an application of any treatment modality on reflexogenic zones, reflexogenic points or reflexogenic meridians (e.g. digitopressure, acupressure, acupuncture, laseropuncture, magnetopuncture, magnetic hammer, moxibustion, cupping, etc.). In this holistic framework, each organism is considered as (quantum-holographic) unique wholeness whose health status is manifested by reflexogenic (acupuncture) zones and their (acupuncture) points, linked in pathes of reflexogenic (acupuncture) meridians. Reflexogenic zones are exteroceptive projections of internal organs on the skin (head, nose, ears, palms, foots), mucous membrane (endonasal, gums, tongue) and iris. Reflexogenic points are locations in which is occuring energy exchange (transformation) with external environment according to the principle of functioning of "body channels" or reflexogenic meridians. Through reflexogenic points as mirrors of the organ status or some individual function, one can regulate disturbed energetic equilibrium between some of organs and body parts, also between wholeness of organism as mikrocosmos and its environment, macrocosmos. Morphofunctional basis of reflexogenic zones, points and meridians is ontophylogenic linkeage of internal organs and all sistems in organisms with the most ancient energy-informational system, which is composed of the gap junction channels network.

CONSCIOUSNESS-BASED HOLISTIC ORIENTED APPROACHES TO PSYCHOTHERAPY
S. Milenković (Serbia) Abstract. Discussed here is creative challenge faced by the new profession of psychotherapy in a new millenium. Creation of consciousness-based holistic spiritual/transpersonal psychotherapy without ego is that challenge. It means basically the transformation of consciousness, of the inner feeling of one’s own existence, as well as the release of the individual form all kinds of conditioning imposed upon one’s by society. It’s characterised by transformation, self-transcendence, and expanded consciousness in which treatment is targeted primarily to the spiritual/transpersonal dimension.

SCIENCE AND BODY PSYNTESIS HOLISTIC APPROACHES.
BODY PSYCHOTHERAPY AND TE-PSYNTESIS
Lj. Klisić (Serbia), A. Djordjević (Serbia) et al
Abstract. Body-Psychotherapy is a distinct branch of Psychotherapy, well within the main body of Psychotherapy, which has a holistic theoretical position. It involves a different and explicit theory of mind-body functioning which takes into account the complexity of the intersections and interactions between the body and the mind. The common underlying assumption is that the body is the whole person and there is a functional unity between mind and body. Directly or indirectly the body-psychotherapist works with the person as an essential embodiment of mental, emotional, social and spiritual life. He/she encourages both internal self-regulative processes and the accurate perception of external reality. Through his/her work, the body-psychotherapist makes it possible for alienated aspects of the person to become conscious, acknowledged and integrated parts of the self. In order to facilitate this transition from alienation to wholeness, the body-psychotherapist works with signs indicating vegetative flow in the organism, muscular hypertension and hypotension, energetic blockage, energetic integration, pulsation and stages of increasing and natural self regulative functioning. And the phenomena of psychodynamic processes of transference, counter- transference, projection, defensive regression, creative regression and various kinds of resistance. Almost one century ago Wilhelm Reich introduced work with self regulative processes and with cosmic superimposition. We are continuing his work here more than 3 decades, within TePsyntesis - Serbian Training School of Body Psychotherapy, founded by Prof. Dr. Ljiljana Klisic in 1976, in Belgrade, Serbia, ex-Yugoslavia. It has all characteristics of Body Psychotherapy schools, but TePsyntesis has also evolved from thirty years of research by Dr. Klisic into drives development and relationship between life force and consciousness, and it has trained more than 200 professionals. TePsyntesis offers also a new meta-theory of drives development: aggression and sexuality. In TePsyntesis we are studying and researching evolution of the basic human instinctual drives: (i) Instinct for self-preservation (aggression), (ii) Instinct for procreation of the species (sexuality). Only in unity of mind and body that opens up a suppressed spiritual dimension, we can approach the whole scope of evolution: (i) Evolution of primitive aggression and destruction towards mature power integrated with developed value system to non-dual power, (ii) Evolution of primitive sexuality towards Bliss and supreme Joy.

MAN AS A QUANTUM-WAVE PSYCHOSOMATIC SYSTEM
Grigori I. Brekhman. Abstract. The author considers the Man from a position of the theory of wave–particle duality of a matter. It has opened existence in a nature of ways of interaction and information interchange between genes, cells, persons, about which we did not suspect or knew a little. The concept of duality has allowed understanding the riches of the information contained in the man that has enabled to consider him as a psychosomatic system and to explain some features of thinking and behaviour of the people, sources of their talents and problems, and also feature of functioning in a society and relations with each other. In the certain measure the concept of duality gives an explanation of reasons of diseases, and gives interpretation to methods of treatment, which (despite of the efficiency) ascribe to alternative and do not admit by official medicine. Author describes the uterine myoma as a psychosomatic process, manifesting itself in ischemic uterus disease. He substantiated and used the holistic approach and nonstandard method of psychoelectroregulation in these patients which gave the long-term results.

The secret behind acupuncture is adenosine?

Today an interesting report is reviewed in Science Daily. Adenosine A1 receptors mediate local anti-nociceptive effects of acupuncture by Nanna Goldman and collaborators.

In the central nervous system, acupuncture creates signals that cause the brain to churn out natural pain-killing endorphins. This effect has been known for along time. This research focuses on adenosine, a natural compound known for its role in regulating sleep, for its effects on the heart, and for its anti-inflammatory properties. But adenosine also acts as a natural painkiller, becoming active in the skin after an injury to inhibit nerve signals and ease pain in a way similar to lidocaine. It is also possible to triple the beneficial effects of acupuncture in mice by adding a medication approved to treat leukemia in people.

What are the messages of all these chemicals? Endorphins gives also a stress-reaction. What tells adenosine? The study is cited by 64 articles.

In the current study, scientists found that the chemical is also very active in deeper tissues affected by acupuncture.

The team made a number of observations regarding adenosine:

- In mice with normal functioning levels of adenosine, acupuncture reduced discomfort by two-thirds.
- In special "adenosine receptor knock-out mice" not equipped with the adenosine receptor, acupuncture had no effect.
- When adenosine was turned on in the tissues, discomfort was reduced even without acupuncture.
- During and immediately after an acupuncture treatment, the level of adenosine in the tissues near the needles was 24 times greater than before the treatment.

Once scientists recognized adenosine's role, the team explored the effects of a cancer drug called deoxycoformycin*, which makes it harder for the tissue to remove adenosine. The compound boosted the effects of acupuncture treatment dramatically, nearly tripling the accumulation of adenosine in the muscles and more than tripling the length of time the treatment was effective.

*inhibition of deaminase activity enhances increases in adenosine and prolongs anti-nociception actions of acupuncture. Two major pathways involved in extracellular enzymatic degradation of AMP. The nucleoside analog deoxycoformycin inhibits both AMP deaminase (AMPD) and adenosine deaminase (ADA).

Acupuncture triggers an increase in the extracellular concentration of ATP, ADP, AMP and adenosine. 
Acupuncture triggers an increase in the extracellular concentration of ATP, ADP, AMP and adenosine. From Nature.

"Acupuncture has been a mainstay of medical treatment in certain parts of the world for 4,000 years, but because it has not been understood completely, many people have remained skeptical," said  Maiken Nedergaard, who led the research.

In fact acupuncture is a very fast developing discipline today, in spite of its old age.

This is just one way acupuncture could work.

A centrally acting agent cannot explain why acupuncture is conventionally applied in close proximity to the locus of pain and why the analgesic effects of acupuncture are restricted to the ipsilateral side.


Acupuncture triggers adenosine and ATP metabolites release
ATP is released in response to either mechanical and electrical stimulation or heat. Once released, ATP acts as a transmitter that binds to purinergic receptors, but ATP cannot be transported back into the cell but is rapidly degraded to adenosine. Thus, adenosine acts as an analgesic agent that suppresses pain through Gi-coupled A1-adenosine receptors.

Injury-signal: Damage is associated with an increase in extracellular nucleotides and adenosine. 'Similar to other types of tissue injury, accumulation of nucleotides in the interstitial space during acupuncture is probably a consequence of unspecific membrane damage or opening of stress-activated channels', says the study. This also Helene Langevin said, and it is true for many therapies, and also used by Nature herself.

Robert Becker in 'The Body Electric' showed a 'current of injury', a very small DC-current.

The relatively high extracellular concentration of ATP metabolites compared with ATP likely reflects the rapid enzymatic degradation of ATP. ATP is about 100-fold higher than AMP and adenosine in cytosol, and that only a fraction of AMP is dephosphorylated to adenosine. Although acupuncture has been practiced for over 4,000 years, it has been difficult to establish its biological basis. Our findings indicate that adenosine is central to the mechanistic actions of acupuncture. We found that insertion and manual rotation of acupuncture needles triggered a general increase in the extracellular concentration of purines, including the transmitter adenosine.

Deqi deactivates areas within the brain that are associated with the processing of pain. "The results are fascinating. Whether such brain deactivations constitute a mechanism which underlies or contributes to the therapeutic effect of acupuncture is an intriguing possibility which requires further research."
Because ATP is released during acupuncture the pinching sensation may be mediated by nociceptive P2X3 receptors, which are expressed by small-diameter, primary afferent neurons, some of which are sensitive to capsaicin, says the new study, concentrating on peripheral nerves.


Why is this a big piece of the puzzle?
Adenosine is shown to be important for the quantum biology in photosynthesis, where the enzyme ATPase has electrons quantum tunnelling. Also in biology the quantal aspect is very important, for the coherence and synergy, and hence for the regulation of biological molecular machines. The degrees of freedom responsible for the entropic Yin/Yang cycle is also dependent on the quantum biology.

Quantum tunnelling is important for our perceptions, which are electromagnetic and quantal.

The ratio of purines/pyrimidines also tells something about the functional states, not only in genes.

Receptors was shown to be crucial (GCPRs), and receptors need ATP, and are often using hexamer and pentamer rings. Water is hexameric. The hexamers change the magnetic moment very fast.

One may speculate that other non-allopathic treatments of chronic pain, such as chiropractic manipulations and massage, modalities that involve the mechanical manipulation of joints and muscles, might also be associated with an efflux of cytosolic ATP that is sufficient to elevate extracellular adenosine. As in acupuncture, adenosine may accumulate during these treatments and dampen pain, says the discussion.

The acupuncture and other therapies are often called 'Energy medicine', something that mainstream dislike strongly. Any hint at diffuse energy is non-scientific, according to them. Well, they are wrong.

Schrödingers cat. Dead and alive, body and mind.

The cat is in superposition, both dead and alive? A really good explination here of this complex problem.


Life is quantum mechanical? More and more evidence is accumulating. In a sense it would be the most natural explanation for our experiencies, the mind-body problem. It would even explain death as phenomen. In everyday life there are so many questions that would belong to our quantum being mirror. Perceptions, muscle work, nerve functioning, cell membrane functionings, chromosome functions, everything else but not brain (cortex?). In the ancient medicine brain was not considered as important at all, and maybe there is a point. Our brain is so very overestimated.

The acupuncture meridians make us living?, says Rakovic.
The acupuncture system is the only macroscopic quantum system in our body (while brain still seems not to be). This is the reason that consciousness is related to its MW ultralow-frequency-modulated EM field of the acupuncture system.



What is life?
Life is an ability to be deformed, stressed, and still be able to take back the former shape and function. Life is sensitiveness, perhaps most of all, and an ability to react on the stress. Life is growing, learning, accumulation of stress in memory, and an capacity to create new meaning from nonsense noise, through an ability to recognize patterns and codes (information).

If we compare to a piece of viscoelastic gel with a communicative system, what is the main difference? Both can be deformed, stressed, both can grow, both can perhaps learn something if the accumulation of energy is a 'memory'. But the gel cannot create something new out of old structures? The creeping can perhaps be seen as something new? The inherent self-organization? No, it is seen in viruses, proteins, etc. The replication? Can a replication be non-living? I think so, if the chrystallization is taken for a simple replication (many would not agree in this).

The main difference is the sensitivity for stress, and the fast relaxation, but still with a natural inertia inherent to the system (dissipative structure), creating a sence of coherence, consciousness, self and time. The coherence favour survival and it can extend also outside the organism to a superorganism, and a community. The only real big difference is the inertia and the delayed dissipation, together with superconduction minimized dissipation. 'I can decide, I feel myself a creator'. Time and consciousness belongs together very tightly. Time is measured in frequencies of dissipation? In a sence time is dissipation.

So, we have one system for creating dissipation (a string) and one for no dissipation (the bullet) at the same time. A string, for the robustness and criticality, a bullet for the possibilities and uncertainity, matter and wave. Is the Schrödinger cat both dead and alive at the same time? Are we real quantum mechanical beings?

The creation of complex superpositions in harmonic systems (such as the motional state of trapped ions, microwave resonators or optical cavities) has presented a significant challenge because it cannot be achieved with classical control signals here So, are the control then quantal?

Mae Wan Ho writes:
The vital energy, qi, of traditional Chinese medicine corresponds to coherent energy in living organisms, which is stored everywhere over the entire range of space-times. Consequently any subtle influence arising anywhere will propagate throughout the system and become amplified into global effects. In other words, the system, by virtue of being full of coherent energy, will be ultra-sensitive to very weak signals; and this may be the basis of all forms of subtle energy medicine including acupuncture.
The energy is the string, the coherence is the bullet?

She continues:
...instantaneous, noiseless intercommunication that enables the organism to function as a perfectly coordinated whole because it is liquid crystalline, containing 70% by weight of water, permeates throughout the connective tissues and into the interior of every single cell. The water molecules are aligned in ordered layers along the extensive surfaces of macromolecules and are an integral part of the liquid crystalline continuum. It makes the living matrix highly responsive to changes in pressure, temperature, pH, and electrical polarization. The ordered layers of water in the matrix also support a special kind of 'jump conduction' of protons (positive ion) that is much faster than nerve conduction and faster than ordinary electrical conduction through wires.
The macromolecules are the string, the coherent water (supraconduction?) the bullet.

Ho and Knight proposed as one of the first that the dynamically ordered layers of water molecules (bullet) associated with the oriented collagen fibres in the connective tissues (string) correspond to the acupuncture meridians, while acupuncture points correspond to gaps or junctions between the meridians (collagen fibres or connective tissue bundles).

Jumping charge of protons, that can be interpreted as magnetic holes? Are the charge induced from outside? These 'waves of holes' has a meaning for the DC-electricity, as well as 'waves of tops'; the electrons. (In spintronics even 'waves of spin' happen.)

The network effect of the tunneling between the 'patterns' is a stochastic process, the well-known 'random walk' process. The tunneling can interfere with the diff erent stochastic processes, and are eg. an activation process, and relaxing the inertia (velocity/time).


Acupuncture meridians have a double oscillating function.
Dejan Rakovic 2001:
Biophysical bases for acupunture based medicine is its resonance microwave/ultralowfrequency (MW/ULF) electromagnetic/ionic nature, as well as the quantum holographic 'electro-optical' neural-network-like-function of the acupuncture system, that is psychosomatically disordered, at the same time as the non-treshold gap-junction based self-assembling of the acupuncture system explains the extreme sensitivity on external MW/ULF EM fields.
The ionic acupuncture currents are both MW and ULF, and the longer, latter modulates MW, exactly as the windows in tissue interactions with weak EM fields. The resonance ULF (about 4 Hz) stimulate the endorphin mechanism, and the resonant MW (50 - 80 GHz) is efficient even in serious diseases. Earlier we saw that the meridians was capable to accumulate there resonant frequencies in the alpha region.

Rakovic cont.:
Acupuncture system is a dynamic structure differentiated at the locations of maxima loci of 3-D standing waves, formed as a result of coherent MW-reflexive Fröhlich excitations (up to about 100 GHz from 50 - 70 GHz) of molecular subunits in the cell membranes, proteins, microtubulis, etc. Differentiation of gap junctions with a higher density in acupuncture points (through which an evolutionary older type of inter-cell communications is achieved, including acupuncture, whose conductivity can be modulated by intra-cell pH-factor, Ca2+-ions, neurotransmitters and second messengers - and even by voltage), are slightly sensitive to voltage.
These gap junctions may function together as a 'superorganism-like' 'amplifying' junctions. Kind of a 'highway' or a zone.


Two different functions for nerve nets.
Neural and other associative nets can be seen as a deterministic system which assumes that the information processing (the dynamics) of the neural nets bears the classic-physical reality, determinism and locality. Or they can be modelled quantum-mechanically (solitonic). Or both. As the classic-physical systems, and with the quantum-mechanical corrections to their deterministic dynamics, coming from the well-known e ffect of quantum-mechanical tunnelling. It is the border territory between quantum world and classical world.

Quantum-mechanical tunneling in associative neural networks, describes the meridians as kind of 'random walk structures', requiring no energy exchange.
Being the relatively stable minima of the 'configuration-energy' space of the networks, the 'patterns' represent the macroscopically distinguishable states of the neural nets. Therefore, the tunneling represents a macroscopic quantum e ffect, but with some special characteristics. Particularly, we investigate the tunneling between the minima of approximately equal depth, thus requiring no energy exchange. If there are at least a few such minima, the tunneling represents a sort of the 'random walk' process, which implies the quantum fluctuations in the system, and therefore 'malfunctioning' in the information processing of the nets. Due to the finite number of the minima, the 'random walk' reduces to a dynamics. the quantum fluctuations due to the quantum-mechanical tunneling can be 'minimized' if the 'pattern'-formation is such that there are mutually 'distant' groups of the 'patterns', thus providing the 'zone' structure of the 'pattern' formation.

The black ball represents the 'particle' oscillating with a frequency around the bottom of the well. The presented 'con guration energy (q − V )' surface represents the 'patterns' {welldefi ned, macroscopically distinguishable physical states of the nets. Entropy represents a measure of ignorance about the physical state of the system. The density matrix is the knowledge, which represent the mutually distinguishable (i.e., orthogonal) states. That is, entropy is a measure of the classical indeterminism: a system is in a de finite state, but the state is not known with certainty, and increase of entropy coincides with the loss of the informations concerning the physical state of the system. In what state the system can be found {probabilistically) is measured by entropy (von Neumans entropy). The zones and wells need not to follow each other.


The healthy state.
Nature wants to be robust by 'minimizing' the quantum fluctuations due to the tunnelling. No disturbing jumps that distort the cell machinery! But the big number of the minima and their high 'density' or zones are necessary for enhancing the memory capabilities and conscious experience of the nets. The 'zone' structure is mutually distant groups of not-very-numerous densely packed minima, between which the information can jump.

Healthy state might be considered as an absolute minimum (ground state) of the non-local self-consistent macroscopic quantum potential of the organism (energy potential between the max and min degrees of freedom, stable and unstable conditions, in Popps terms); disorders corresponding to higher minima of the spatio-temporal changeable potential hypersurface in energy configuration (stressed condition) explains the higher sensory responses of the more excited acupuncture system. This is very close to an associative neural network and to pattern recognition as convergence of the neural networks to the bottoms of the potential hypersurface, being the attractors of neural networks memory patterns.

There are the two diff erent levels of the influence of the environment.
A. The e ffect of decoherence (decay), which destroys the quantummechanical coherence on a very short time scale. Quantum states inevitably decay with time into a probabilistic mixture of classical states.
B. The influence of the environment on the (approximately) deterministic behavior of the system {which has previously 'survived' the decoherence).

A mechanical non-living system is cooled (superconduction) to its quantum ground state, where all classical noise is eliminated. But in living systems noise cannot be eliminated.

Lubos also points out an important factor:
Von Neumann and Wigner actually argued that everything – including the macroscopic objects – evolves according to the Schrödinger equation, and the “collapse” is only done when you actually want to observe something which requires consciousness. Alternatively, you may imagine that even other people evolve into strange linear superpositions and it is just you who has the right to make the wavefunction collapse.

This has led to the anthrophic principle, evidently wrong, but in essence this statement is right. It is consciousness that collapse the random wave. This has been seen in PSI-research so many times.

September 10, 2009, a discussion on the Physics arXiv Blog
How to Create Quantum Superpositions of Living Things. Scientists try to create a quantum superposition of a living thing, such as a virus. The experiment will first involve storing a virus in a vacuum and then cooling it to its quantum mechanical ground state in a microcavity. Zapping the virus with a laser then leaves it in a superposition of the ground state and an excited one.

What could lead to the quantum ground state of a virus? The virus have the structure for it. Maybe it is because the host has a disorganized 'field' that viruses can attack?

But seen in the light of above Nature has not gone this path. In Nature it is the surroundings and the organism that do the constraints. The object is allowed to oscillate and have 'noise'.


Rakovic 2009: QUANTUM MEDICINE: PHENOMENOLOGY AND QUANTUM-HOLOGRAPHIC IMPLICATIONS
The necessity for application of Microwave Resonance Therapy (MRT) upon acupuncture points was discovered only in the early 1980's (Sit'ko et al in Kiev) as appearance of sharply-resonant characteristic eigenfrequencies of human organism - which successfully stimulated development of the second generation of coherent, the third generation of noise spectrum MW generators, and finally fourth generation of noise spectrum Controlled Energy Materials (CEM) MW generators with changeable therapeutic oscillators in mid-2000's. The coherent spectrum MW generators with manually changeable frequency (from 52 to 70 GHz) are far less suitable in practice, because of much longer seeking of the resonant frequency, dependent on individual properties of the organism and the subjective state of the patient, which can result in therapeutic mistakes and overdosing. On the other hand, the noise spectrum MW generators enable simultaneous excitation of all possibly therapeutic resonance MW frequencies (52-78 GHz), and an organism continuously resonantly responds to currently appropriate (and changeable during therapy) frequency. Finally, the noise spectrum CEM MW generators with changeable therapeutic oscillators provide unique possibility to initially record an biologically-active-zone (BAZ) MW spectrum (biologically resonant in both frequency and intensity) by BAZ-influenced changeable oscillator, and subsequently to re-emit the BAZ MW spectrum by the oscillator in this very zone - thus enabling resonant shallowing of the acupuncture disordered state in favor of deepening of the attracting acupuncture healthy state.

Rakovic:
By affecting the appropriate acupuncture points by MRT generators, remarkable clinical results of the treatment are being achieved in the prevention and therapy of stress, as well as in many psychosomatic disorders (cardiovascular, respiratory, gastro-intestinal, nefro-urologic, endocrine, gynecological, neurological, psychiatric, dermatological, orthopedic and traumatologic, ophthalmologic, ORL, stomatologic, pediatric, addictions ...) - with average efficiency of 82% in chronic and up to 100% in acute diseases, tested on population of several millions of patients of different pathologies in several thousands of MRT cabinets in Ukraine and Russia.

MRT is practical realization of the Prigogine theory of selforganization of living systems. In that context an explanation for efficiency of the MRT, as noninvasive non-pharmacological medical treatment, should be sought. So, some disorders in the organism give rise to deformation in the standing wave structure of electrical field of the organism in the MW region, which influences corresponding changes in the spatial structure of the acupuncture system, and consequently its resonant frequencies, resulting in some disease; during the therapy, applying the MW sound at corresponding acupuncture point the excited acupuncture system of the patient is relaxing to the previous healthy condition, while reaching normal resonant frequencies responses of its meridians upon the wide spectrum MW source - and following to physiological mechanisms of the acupuncture regulation the organism biochemically overcomes the disease.


Trapping light.
Mae Wan Ho: Organisms are thick with spontaneous activities at every level (100000/min?), right down to the molecules, and the molecules are dancing, even when the organisms sit still. The images obtained give direct evidence of the remarkable coherence (oneness) of living organisms. 1, 2, 3.

The macromolecules, associated with lots of water, are in a dynamic liquid crystalline state, where all the molecules are macroscopically aligned to form a continuum that links up the whole body, permeating throughout the connective tissues, the extracellular matrix, and into the interior of every single cell. And all the molecules, including the water, are moving coherent ly together as a whole.

The organism is creating and recreating herself afresh with each passing moment, recoding and rewriting the genes in her cells in an intricate dance of life that enables the organism to survive and thrive. The dance is written as it is performed; every movement is new, as it is shaped by what has gone before. The organism never ceases to experience its environment and registering its experience for future reference. The coordination required for simultaneous multiple tasks and for performing the most extraordinary feats both depend on a special state of being whole, the ideal description for which is “quantum coherence”. Quantum coherence is a paradoxical state that maximises both local freedom and global cohesion.

The organism is, in the ideal, a quantum superposition of coherent activities over all space-times, constituting a pure coherent state towards which the system tends to return on being perturbed.

An intuitive picture of the quantum coherent organism is a perfect life cycle coupled to energy (and material) flow. The perfect life cycle represents perpetual return and renewal. It is a domain of coherent energy storage that accumulates no waste or entropy within, because it mobilises energy most efficiently and rapidly to grow and develop and reproduce. Not only does it not accumulate entropy, but the waste or entropy exported outside is also minimised.

To be quantum coherent above all, is to be most spontaneous and free.

Ho:
The wave function that describes the system is also a superposition of all possibilities. It implies that the future is entirely open, and the potentials infinite. Quantum coherence is the prerequisite for conscious experience
It is why each and every one of us thinks of ourselves as “I” in the singular even though we are a multiplicity of organs, tissues and cells, and astronomical numbers of molecules. We would have a wave function that evolves, constantly informing the whole of our being, never ceasing to entangle other quantum entities, transforming itself in the process to mobilize energy most rapidly and efficiently, to intercommunicate nonlocally and instantaneously, transcending the usual separations of space and time. That’s why a ‘being’ can be in two places at the same time and different beings far, far apart can exchange information instantaneously.
- No time, no 'meter', all information in the Universe, every quantum jump is saved and the Universe is recreated (for the 'I') all the time with every jump.

Quantum information processors exploit the quantum features of superposition and entanglement for applications not possible in classical devices.

Friedman et al. go some way to answering this fundamental question by confirming that quantum superposition works as well in the macroscopic world of superconducting rings as it does in the microscopic world of photons, electrons and atoms. A macroscopic system could behave quantum mechanically if it was suitably decoupled from its environment, as in a SQUID. The question was whether a 'persistent' electric current in the ring would decay in a quantum-mechanical way, which has been shown to happen by quantum tunnelling.


At the midpoint of the figure, the measured tunnel splitting energy between the two states. The particle is creating a wave too. From Friedman et al.

Gianni Blatter in Schrödinger's cat is now fat, 2000:
If a macroscopic system can decay by quantum tunnelling, the next question to ask is whether it could also oscillate back and forth between two states. would the macroscopic state tunnel back and forth sequentially, forgetting about its quantum-mechanical make-up after each hop, or would it oscillate coherently, preserving its quantum state throughout the hops? The second process goes under the name of 'macroscopic quantum coherence' and has been something of a holy grail in this field since the 1980s — it is the coherent superposition between the two current states in the ring that corresponds to the indeterminate state of Schrödinger's dead-and-alive cat. Quantum theory predicts that if such a system is strongly coupled to the environment, it remains localized in one state and so behaves classically. At low coupling, the system follows damped, coherent oscillations between the states, with the damping rate vanishing as the coupling to the environment goes to zero (death?). This quantum mixing of the two states leads to a so-called coherence gap separating the energies of the superposition states.

The Scrödinger cat is alive because of its entanglement with the environment. It is dead because it detaches from environment. We know that, everyone knows that.

The true 'symmetric state' (the bullet) is quantal? The energy is the string?


Can living things be quantal?
This subject has been discussed extensively on the web this month. Here a video. BBC News, a photonic cluster, a tiny resonating strip of metal – only 60 micrometres long, but big enough to be seen without a microscope – can both oscillate and not oscillate at the same time, NewScientist, etc.


The coherence gap. Blatter:
One explanation for this coherence gap is as follows. Consider a particle trapped in a potential well with two minima (a double-well potential). As the particle tunnels between the two wells, it lowers its kinetic energy because of the spreading of its wavefunction over both wells. As a result, the new mixed ground state is shifted down with respect to the energy of the individual wells. This 'symmetrical' state always comes with an 'antisymmetric' partner state, which is slightly higher in energy. In fact, this excited state comes to lie at an energy above the original well energy, resulting in an excitation gap of 2*the energylevel. This phenomenon is well known in chemistry, where the two mixed or superposition states correspond to the bonding and antibonding states of a diatomic molecule.
This probability peaks when the microwave frequency matches up with the two superposition states, allowing them to identify a coherence gap. Then they 'surf the wave'.

The challenge in future experiments will be to track the appearance of this coherence gap when probing lower-energy (semiclassical) states deeper in the well. Another possibility would be to make the coherence gap vanish by introducing artificial decoherence into the system, for example by coupling the SQUID to a metallic reservoir.


The coupled qubit-resonator experiment.
http://io9.com/5497720/first-quantum-effects-seen-in-visible-object
Proving that all objects, whatever their size, obeys the same rules has long been a goal of physicists. But with quantum mechanics it is no trivial matter: the larger an object, the more easily its fragile quantum state is destroyed by the disruptive influence of the world around it. O'Connell's experiments required delicate control and a temperature of just 25 millikelvin to measure the state in the few nanoseconds before it was broken down by disruptive influences from outside.

"It was a close call, but sufficient to see a first quantum signature" "The qubit acts as a bridge between the microscopic and the macroscopic worlds," says O'Connell. By tuning the frequency at which the qubit cycled between its two states to match the resonant frequency of the metallic strip, the qubit's quantum state could be transferred to the resonator at will.the resonator was sometimes in its non-oscillating ground state and sometimes in an oscillating "excited" state. The number of times it was measured to be in each state followed the probabilistic rules of quantum mechanics.now the spooky influence of quantum physics on visible objects has been proved, can we expect to be putting an object as large as a real child's swing into an indeterminate quantum state any time soon? O'Connell thinks so. "I'd say in the near future – in the next 20 years."

Markus Aspelmeyer
Researchers have long wanted to be able to control macroscopic mechanical objects in their smallest possible state of motion. Success in achieving that goal heralds a new generation of quantum experiments.

Dead silence — and then roaring applause. I still remember that brief moment that revealed the astonishment of everyone in the audience


Preparation and detection of a mechanical resonator near the ground state of motion.
Rocheleau et al. 2010: Cold, macroscopic mechanical systems are expected to behave contrary to our usual classical understanding of reality; the most striking and counterintuitive predictions involve the existence of states in which the mechanical system is located in two places simultaneously. Various schemes have been proposed to generate and detect such states, and all require starting from mechanical states that are close to the lowest energy eigenstate, the mechanical ground state. Here we report the cooling of the motion of a radio-frequency nanomechanical resonator by parametric coupling to a driven, microwave-frequency superconducting resonator. Starting from a thermal occupation of 480 quanta, we have observed occupation factors as low as 3.8 +/- 1.3 and expect the mechanical resonator to be found with probability 0.21 in the quantum ground state of motion. Further cooling is limited by random excitation of the microwave resonator and heating of the dissipative mechanical bath. This level of cooling is expected to make possible a series of fundamental quantum mechanical observations including direct measurement of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and quantum entanglement with qubits. A widely applicable model of weakly but otherwise arbitrarily coupled two-level systems, and use quantum gate design techniques to derive a simple and intuitive CNOT construction, see Quantum logic with weakly coupled qubits.


Islands of life?
"There is this question of where the dividing line is between the quantum world and the classical world we know"

There is a problem of scaling. Pitkänen suggested a solution with 'Life as islands' in a mathemathical concept.

Rakovic.
Quantum interference effects can, in theory, lead to the emergence of new particles carrying exotic quantum numbers at a critical point.

Quantum systems with fluctuating spacetime field configurations map onto field theories in one extra dimension.

Several thermodynamic properties are shown to exhibit logarithmic corrections to scaling. In the renormalization group theory of phase transitions, such logarithmic corrections arise only in very special cases.

It is not easy to drive experimental systems through a phase transition at T=0 without impurities, doping, or magnetic fields, each of which brings in additional features. Perhaps organic molecular crystals, which are very sensitive to pressure, are the most promising candidates.

Feynman put it best: "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics"
