Restoration of the Biofield topic

This thread will focus on scientific literature and articles regarding the human Biofield and EMF (electromagnetic field).

The human biofield plays a major part in the body's health and biostasis. The topic of the human biofield (formerly called the body's "Aura") was taken out of the scientific realm and relegated to the esoteric woo woo category beginning in the mid-1800's; it has recently made a scientific resurgence and information can now be found in technical articles about it. There is a broad montage of articles/papers about the biofield/aura emanating from scientific studies, individual researchers, and the more esoteric (but still valid in their own way).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofield (general overview of the esoteric and also the scientific/medical)

Biofield Science: Current Physics Perspectives
"Evidence for the existence of the biofield now exists, and current theoretical foundations are now being developed.1,2 The term biofield describes “a field of energy and information, both putative and subtle, that regulates the homeodynamic function of living organisms and may play a substantial role in understanding and guiding health processes.”3 Another definition describes it as:

"an organizing principle for the dynamic information flow that regulates biological function and homeostasis. Biofield interactions can organize spatiotemporal biological processes across hierarchical levels: from the subatomic, atomic, molecular, cellular, organismic, to the interpersonal and cosmic levels. As such, biofield interactions can influence a variety of biological pathways, including biochemical, neurological and cellular processes related to electromagnetism, correlated quantum information flow, and perhaps other means for modulating activity and information flow across hierarchical levels of biology."

" Based on the study outcomes, it is concluded that Biofield Energy Healing Treatment showed a significant improved ALP level, which can be used in various estrogenic disorders such as hypophosphatasia, osteoporosis, severe anemia, malnutrition, hypothyroidism, magnesium deficiency, heart surgery, aplastic anemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, enteritis in children, Wilson’s disease, pernicious anemia, bacterial infection and intrauterine infection is a leading cause of pelvic inflammatory disease, subfertility, infertility, endometritis, early pregnancy loss, fetal defects, and preterm birth."

Assessment of Biofield Energy Healing Based Vitamin D3 Effects on Bone Health Parameters Using Human Osteoblast Cell Line (MG-63)
"Overall, the Biofield Energy Treated (The Trivedi Effect) test samples showed a significant impact on bone health parameters viz. collagen, calcium, and ALP, which play a vital role in maintaining bone disorders."

Dr. Robert Young has been studying biofield and emf effects for decades.

from his website:
"Dr. Young may be on the threshold of a new biology, whose principle—if proven—could revolutionize the biology and medicine worlds." Neil Solomon, M.D., Ph.D. Former Head of Research for John Hopkins University.
Over the past two and a half decades, Robert O. Young has been widely recognized as one of the top research scientists in the world. Throughout his career, his research has been focused at the cellular level. Having a specialty in cellular nutrition, Dr. Young has devoted his life to researching the true causes of "disease," subsequently developing "The New Biology" to help people balance their life.
In 1994, Dr. Young discovered the biological transformation of red blood cells into bacteria and bacteria to red blood cells. He has since documented several such transformations.
Dr. Robert Young has devoted his career to the discovery of the missing pieces necessary to complete the larger picture of health."

Link to list of his recent blog postings regarding "emf" and "biofield": https://www.drrobertyoung.com/blog/search/emf also: https://www.drrobertyoung.com/blog/search/biofield

Dr. Young is a believer in the "terrain" theory of illness, rather than the "germ" theory; Ray Peat held this belief too.

Please note that I do not know if Dr. Young is selling his own products or not. Detoxing is a complicated business and some methods can cause problems; for example, things that attract heavy metals ( bentonite clay for example) can be already contaminated with heavy metals that were picked up prior to collection to sell as a product.

Major New Paper by International Commission on Wireless Technology Presents Case For Revision of Human Exposure Limits and Calls For Immediate Moratorium on 5G

dated: Oct 18, 2022

“Many studies have demonstrated oxidative effects associated with exposure to low-intensity RFR, and significant adverse effects including cardiomyopathy, carcinogenicity, DNA damage, neurological disorders, increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier, and sperm damage,” explains Dr. Ronald Melnick, Commission chair and a former senior toxicologist with the U.S. National Toxicology Program at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. “These effects need to be addressed in revised and health-protective exposure guidelines. Furthermore, the assumption that 5G millimeter waves are safe because of limited penetration into the body does not dismiss the need for health effects studies.”

What is the Biofield? https://www.biofieldlab.com/whatisthebiofield

"The biofield is a composition of various fields produced by ions, molecules, and cells which make a complex human system with immense electromagnetic capacities. The biofield generated by these charged particles condensed to create a body visible to the eye yet has electron clouds which extend into space interacting with the fields in its environment. Harold Saxton Burr and Filmer Northrop wrote the “Electrodynamic Theory of Life” in which they state:

“The microscopic physicochemical constituents do determine the character of the field. No one cognizant of modern physics and physiological chemistry can deny this. But this relation between field and particle is not, as traditional modern scientific theory has assumed, an asymmetrical or one-way relation. The field both determines and is determined by the particle (Burr and Northrup, 1935).”

"They also state “The field also conditions the behavior of the particle.” This statement gives rise to the evidence that the electromagnetic environment in which a person lives could alter, reinforce, or destabilize the structure of the biofield and in turn create a physiological change within the body. This also gives credit to the expression of being a product of the environment. Making changes in the home, community, state or nation will change those who are living in those environments."

ThinPicking

I see. I'll leave you to it ml.

some thoughts:

Researching information about the biofield is a little like researching sugar or polyunsaturated fats without having first read Ray Peat's work for reference. If you start out reading about polyunsaturated fats at the American Heart Association you may well be wandering for years in the wilderness.

Because I am hypothyroid and also have experienced thiamine deficiency/functional blockage for many years (5 decades +), perhaps I am more attuned than some people to what low body energy feels like. Think about how body temperature can be used as a gauge to determine how well your own personal body energy system is doing.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism by my OB-GYN when I was 25 (50 years ago) due to failure to heal of the cervix 2 years after childbirth. I've taken prescription thyroid medication for 50 years. I'm very good at feeling my body's energy level.

I've lived with mercury poisoning since I was a child (childhood mercury amalgam fillings, removed the dangerous way, when I was in my 20's). Mercury causes high oxidative stress which consumes thiamine which acts as an antioxidant (among other vital things). High oxidative stress results in thiamine deficiency. The thyroid requires thiamine to do its job; the thyroid is considered by some experts to be the "canary in the coal mine" when it comes to thiamine deficiency because it is so sensitive to a deficit of this vitamin (b1). I've been high dosing thiamine hcl, 1 gram twice a day for 4 years. It has given me my life back. I take additional supplements as well because increasing the body's oxidative metabolism will use up other vitamins/minerals faster.

The body makes energy (ATP) from "burning" nutrients in the mitochondria via oxidative metabolism. Oxidative metabolism requires both thiamine AND thyroid hormone; without these two things, cellular energy cannot happen. No cellular energy = no life force = death. Cellular energy equals to electrical current.

EMF Hypersensitivity and Thiamine

Another source for body energy is the human biofield. The biofield is the electrical current that surrounds the body and is affected by magnetism. The earth acts like a big magnet. The concept of grounding/"Earthing" comes to mind:
Integrative and lifestyle medicine strategies should include Earthing (grounding): Review of research evidence and clinical observations

I have recently been experimenting with getting in touch with my biofield. I've done one exercise session (video) with She Who Must Not Be Named. The video session lasted over an hour but I chose to stop at 30 minutes because I got tired; it was my first time at this new "exercise" after all and I'm almost 75. I did experience piloerection. I also was very aware that my body temperature had increased at least a degree and I was a little sweaty. I interpret increased body temperature as a positive thing. The "exercise" session entailed standing (barefoot) and visualizing the movement of energy while music played. Having an instructor who is well versed in the technique was helpful for me.

She Who Must Not Be Named promotes the idea that getting familiar with your own body's bioshield and "exercising" it will strengthen it and is protective as your biofield is then less vulnerable to the intrusion of EMF etc. I personally like this approach because it does not require ingesting questionable "supplements/chelators".

What do you mean by that? I'm talking about biofield work to improve my body's energy level. What are you talking about?? You are warning me that it's dangerous to consider things that are not widely adopted in the "present"?? On a Ray Peat oriented forum?? Silly me; I thought this forum was for an exchange of ideas, experiences, and knowledge. It is called the "Bioenergetic Forum". If I have had positive results increasing my body's temperature by focusing on my biofield, I think that is a reasonable thing to report. Other people would find that of interest. What is your problem?

Have you never experienced emf sensitivity? I know I have. For many years. I was unable to go to a big city (by driving a car) without getting really stoopid. I would get lost. But there's a song about that, "Lost in Austin Again" so maybe I wasn't the only one. I'd get lost in San Antonio too but there's no song about that. However, there is the old saying that "San Antonio was laid out by a drunk Indian riding a blind mule." Anyway, my brain would simply short out and I'd get loopy. Once I got out of the city limits, my brain function would click back in. EMF sensitivity is a known thing; a lot of people are affected by it. This was WAY before 5G, in the early 1990's; there were very few towers back then.

Restored sensitivity to everything was my initial state on incorporating bioenergetic ideas in to my behaviour. But I realised at some point, I could counter that sensitivity with sensitivity. It may relate to the topic of biofields. I don't actually know. We'd have to walk to find out.

@ThinPicking My "sleeping on it" is not going to clarify my confusion regarding how you are phrasing things. I'll wake up tomorrow just as confused as ever.

I'll try to break this down so maybe you will understand the issue I'm having with this paragraph.
you said:
"Restored sensitivity to everything was my initial state on incorporating bioenergetic ideas in to my behaviour."
Are you saying that when you incorporated "bioenergetic ideas" you became hypersensitive to everything? What do you mean by "bioenergetic ideas"? What do you mean by "restored sensitivity"?

you said:
"But I realised at some point, I could counter that sensitivity with sensitivity. It may relate to the topic of biofields."
Wha? "I could counter that sensitivity with sensitivity?" I'm at a loss, truly. Kindly rephrase.

you said:
"It may relate to the topic of biofields. I don't actually know." What's "it"? Can you please define what you mean by "biofields".

you said:

I simply cannot figure out what you are saying. I suspect it may be a linguistics thing. You are trying to focus on a "topic that may or may not sit beneath endocrinology"? Relating to "fluid balance/dynamics"? Is this a balance thing? Are you dizzy? There's something going with your health that you think is related to endocrinology?

I cannot respond unless I can understand what you are saying.
