PART I
ELEMENTARY PHYSICS AND THE PROPERTY OF ELECTOMAGNETISM
1.1 Natural Resonant
Frequency
It
is an accepted fact, that any given substance - in whatever form or
type - has a natural resonant frequency (nrf ) that is individual to
that substance . This may vary in form, e.g. ( 1 ) Glass in
different shapes ( a cup or a window - pane has a different n.r.f. (
2 ) A cup under different conditions ( empty , half - full , or full
) has a different n.r.f.
Now this glass can
absorb energy from an external source if the frequency of that
energy is close to the n.r.f. of the glass. However, the energy
absorbed by the glass will be maximum at that particular
frequency which is its n.r.f. At this frequency, the glass can
absorb such a large amount of energy that is unable to contain its
cohesive structure and so it shatters, thus releasing this energy.
1.2
Electromagnetic energy
at an Atomic Level
This concept may be
understood at two levels;
At the atomic level, where electromagnetism is displayed by the
electrons, having a rotational motion in orbit as well as a spin
around their axis. Some of these magnetic energies cancel out. But a
net spin in one direction produces a ' magnetic moment ' in
one direction i.e. a magnetic dipole ' u ', which is due to a
property called PARAMAGNETISM.
Examples of this
property are the so-called ' transition elements ' such as Mn
2+ , the rare earths such as Gd3+, and the
actinide elements such as U 4+.
Substances also show a
property called DIMAGNETISM which is very feeble in
substances that ultimately have a net magnetic dipole moment, as in
the paramagnetic / ferromagnetic substances. But substances like
Bismuth have strong diamagnetic properties - which means
that when a magnetic field is applied to them, a magnetic moment is
induced, whose direction is opposite to the magnetic
field, as opposed to a paramagnetic substance, in which the
(permanent) magnetic dipoles tend to point in the same direction as
the applied field. These energies are probably induced by a poorly
explained phenomenon known as " exchange coupling ".
CURIE'S LAW which has
a special significance to homoeopathic potentization, states that
the magnetisation of a specimen is directly proportional to the
effective value of magnetic induction in which the specimen is
placed , and inversely proportional to the temperatures.
1.3 Nuclear Magnetism
The nucleus of a
substance also possesses a dipole moment, which is attributed to the
proton. The value of this energy is about 660 times smaller than the
magnetic moment of an electron (of the same substance) associated
with the spin.
Present techniques
are far too insensitive to detect nuclear magnetism. Hence the
moment effects of atoms are measured in ratio to the nuclear
resonance of that substance with the help of existing methods e.g.
the cyclotron.
It is also observed
that even at this level, one can change the energy of a system in a
periodic motion if an external influence acts on it at the same
frequency as that of its motion.
1.4 Energy absorption at an
atomic level
Another phenomenon of
physics, which would be applicable to homoeopathy is the property of
a substance to absorb external energy at a frequency close to its
n.r.f. as explained in 1.1 above.
Energy Level (E) = y
axis,
Time (T) = x axis,
E=0 on x axis.
E=1, E=2, E=3, E=4, E=5, in ascending
values along the y
axis. Excitation takes place at a given point A1 on the energy level
E1 and then reaches a point B as energy is absorbed. The energy
level then falls to a point C on energy level E3, following which
energy is released  and
a stable energy is reached at E1 at point A2.)
At the atomic level ,
a similar phenomenon occurs which can be explained as follows:
An electron in orbit is at Energy level E1 which is a stable energy
level (A1). As it is excited by an external energy source close to
or at its n.r.f. it moves to another energy level , say E5 . At this
point it is in a highly unstable state 'B'. To achieve stability it
has to come back to E1. It may do this in many ways peculiar to its
properties. In the given example, it comes first to energy
level E3, then to E1. But, characteristic energy (E2) is
released in this single quantum jump from C back to A2.
PART II
APPLICATION OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM IN HOMOEOPATHY
The
Electromagnetic Spectrum needs to be applicable to Homoeopathy in
three stages, to prove its efficacy.
2.1 The preparation
of Potency (The Plussing Technique)
How is it
that dynamic drug energy is transferred to alcohol / sugar of milk?
How is the potency of this medication gradually raised?
It is possible that
homoeopathic potencies are in the range of nuclear magnetism which
is attributed to the minute magnetic moment of a proton (explained
in 1.2 and 1.3 above) . During potentization, some process of "
exchange coupling " takes place between the magnetic dipole of the
drug substance and that of the alcohol or sugar of milk. The process
of potentization releases kinetic and thermal energy at the required
frequency. This is absorbed by the protons of the drug substance
(and of alcohol and water), at its own frequency, thus changing its
energy to create the range of homoeopathic spectrum for that drug
substance.
Homoeopathic potencies
are available in standard potencies. In some cases, one may require
a slightly higher potency which is not readily available. To
overcome this problem, a technique has been devised termed as the "
Deviated Doses Repeated Schedule ". Its therapeutic use will be
elaborated later. Here, I would like to describe the mode of
preparation.
Method:-
With a dose of 1M Potency
-
1 tsf. Of 1M liquid
+ 9 tsf. Of distilled water
STIRRED for 10 rotations
1M l+ potency
-
1M 1+, 1 tsf.
+ 9 tsf.
Distilled water
STIRRED for 10 rotations
1M 2+ potency
Subsequent potencies
of deviated doses are made in a similar manner. The patient
is required to increase the potency by 1+ every time he takes a
dose. At some point, the potency would be the exact similimum,
fulfilling the susceptibility and will completely resolve the
disease condition.
This method was
propounded by Hahnemann himself, in his " Chronic Diseases ". In the
footnote on pg. 234, - the medicine dissolved in water is … "
taken in one or three days, it must be stirred up not only the first
time, but also the other two times, by which every part thus
stirred, acquires another somewhat higher degree of potency and so
it received more willingly by the vital force "
2.2 The
therapeutics of potency ( POSOLOGY ) in a diseased individual
One would
hypothesize that a diseased individual is at an energy level that is
deviated from normal due to the influence of a disease producing
force. Hahnemann, in his Organon of Medicine has termed the acute
disease producing force as ACUTE miasm, which includes external "
morbific " agents such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, etc.
The chronic disease-producing forces, more difficult to cure are the
MIASMS Psora, Syphillis and Sycosis.
The
n.r.f. of an individual is what Hahnemann probably termed as the
vital force. The disease producing force
affects the vital force of an individual, which changes the
susceptibility to an abnormal state, either too high or too low, so
that it is unable to return to normal without the help of an
external medicinal agent. The vital force (as explained in
§
9 - 15) may cause a spontaneous recovery from disease - as
especially seen in acute diseases - if the deviation from normal is
not great. Medicinal assistance may not be required. But as the
susceptibility is badly affected especially by chronic 'miasm', the
vital force is unable to return to normal unless assisted by a
medicinal force.
What is then required
is to obtain the required medicinal agent in the required potency.
The " remedy " is obtained by observing the portrait of the disease
and symptom similarity. The crux of the problem is now assessing
the potency that would fulfill the susceptibility.
As explained in 1.1
and 1.4 above, the energy acceptance is maximum at or near the n.r.f.
Thus one needs to assess the susceptibility i.e. the deviated energy
level of an individual accurately.
This is assessed by
the intensity of symptoms, duration of disease, sensitivity of the
individual, past history of the patient, complications and
associated pathological changes. Age, sex and nutritional factors
also play a big part in affecting the susceptibility. With this
data, one would reach an appropriate potency, say about 1M.
It could also be
possible that the n.r.f. of this individual in a diseased state is
slightly greater than 1M. Using the scale of the deviated doses
schedule, one may postulate that his n.r.f. is at 1M +5 level. To
return to normal, the vital force will absorb energy from all
frequencies at and around 1M +5.
A repeated dose of 1M
potency would help. But to hasten cure or cause a quick, gentle
resolution of disease, one would require a potency of exactly 1M +5,
perhaps only in a SINGLE dose, as the energy absorption would be
maximum at that level and cure would take place.
2.3 The Process of
Cure
Hanemann in
his Chronic Diseases (cf. Footnote on pg. 177), quotes Count
Buquoy who made a similar observation 200 years ago. Though it
may not be very accurate, it expresses the same phenomenon. He says
that "if a patient with the symptoms x, y, z is given a drug
known to produce symptoms a,b,g which are similar to the symptoms of
the disease, it is observed that " the disease symptoms are '
transformed ' into the drug symptoms of which the latter have the
peculiar characteristic of temporariness or transitoriness. This
'transitory
' character belongs to the group of symptoms of the medicine, abg,
which is substituted for the group of symptoms belonging to the
disease, merely because the medicine is used in an extraordinarily
small dose ".
In modern terms, the
vital force is at an n.r.f. deviated from normal due to a
disease-producing force - more often miasmatic in origin -
and is handicapped and unable to return to normal state of
susceptibility. This is expressed in the form of symptoms x,y,z. It
is observed that a drug substance is capable of producing symptoms
a,b,g which are found to similar to x,y,z. If the drug substance is
supplied to the vital force at or near its n.r.f. (which is an "
extraordinarily small dose " ), the vital force accepts this energy
and now acts under the influence of the drug-induced condition and
achieves stability by " throwing off " this deviant energy, or as
explained in § 1.4 above, a quantum of characteristic energy is
released and the system returns to its original, stable self.
In his Organon of
Medicine §2, Hahnemann states that " the highest ideal of cure is
a Rapid, Gentle and Permanent restoration of health, or
removed and annihilation of the disease in its whole extent in the
shortest, most reliable and most harmless way on easily
comprehensible principles ".
The plussing technique
would seek to achieve this aim, gradually increasing the potency
till one reaches the exact resonance of the individual since it is
at this precise potency that cure would take place as Hahnemann
wished in § 2.
Patterns of Remedy
Reactions:-
This is an
attempt to explain the commonly experienced remedy reactions in
homoeopathy with the concept of natural resonant frequency.
-
SIMPLE AMMELIORATION:-In
this case, the potency of the remedy exactly matches the n.r.f. of
the patient or first slightly lower. Hence the patient's vital
force easily accepts the external medicinal energy supplied and
proceeds towards a cure.
-
HOMOEOPATHIC
AGGRAVATION:- In this case, the potency of the remedy is higher
than the n.r.f. of the patient or the remedy has been repeated too
often. Thus this excess energy absorbed manifests itself in the
form of aggravation of the existing symptoms.
-
MEDICINAL
AGGRAVATION:- The chosen drug being partially similar may match
the patient at a particular level. The n.r.f. is a summation of
forces i.e. a " dipole moment " existing after all similar and
opposite forces cancel out. These are a variety of forces existing
in the body, the summation of which gives a particular frequency.
A partially similar remedy may move a frequency similar
to a particular part of the body i.e. may involve only a certain
component of the n.r.f. Thus a few symptoms are ammeliorated,
others are enhanced, while new symptoms are produced by the drug
substance resonating with the dissimilar component of the patients
system.

Understanding Digital Biology
by Dr. Jacques
Benveniste
...The
truth, based on facts, is very simple. It does not require any
"collapse of the physical or chemical worlds." That molecules
vibrate, we have known for decades. Every atom of every molecule and
every intermolecular bond - the bridge that links the atoms - emits
a group of specific frequencies. Specific frequencies of simple or
complex molecules are detected at distances of billions of
light-years, thanks to radio-telescopes. Biophysicists describe
these frequencies as an essential physical characteristic of matter,
but biologists do not consider that electromagnetic waves can play a
role in molecular functions themselves. We cannot find the words
"frequency" or "signal" (in the physical sense of the term) in any
treatise on molecular interactions in biology, not to speak of the
term "electromagnetic," use of which would be - at least in France -
a cause for excommunication of any offending biologist by the
scientific Papal Office...
