This is a great piece and I'm going to have to check out some of those links you provided when I have time. These are subjects which greatly interest me after all (I've done a lot of medical translation so I have to have a good grasp of a range of topics).
I also understand a fair amount of proper physics, so your suggestions make perfect sense to me as it happens. Especially about the use of light. Light after all is composed of photons, which are, in fact, a quantum (fundamental particle). The so-called standard model of physics is wrong on many levels, but one level is their opinion that the photon doesn't have mass. This is absurd of course because any object that genuinely exists must have mass. Furthermore, what we call 'heavier' particles, like electrons or protons/neutrons are simply photons with extra spins (e.g. a photon is a quantum with spin in just the x axis, an electron is a photon with an extra spin in the y axis, and a proton is the same with an extra z-axis spin). It simply 'appears' like they are different particles. But they're all made of the same quantum material.
Anyhow, the point is that atoms and molecules are constantly emitting particles (photons). Other elements are 'electropositive' meaning they emit electrons. This is somewhat obvious if you think about it because otherwise we couldn't see these objects. We then have the Schumann resonance field of course. Given that 'information' can be carried by particles and such particles can interact (i.e. have an effect on) other particles they come into contact with, this seems to me like a potential method of the kind of communication you are talking about. An interaction is a kind of kinetic effect. If you send a spinning object at another object then the spin of object 1 is going to have an effect on the spin and direction of movement of object 2 (and vice versa for that matter). Magnetism is one manifestation. Gravity would be another perhaps.
This can also be used for quantum computing of course using photonics rather than electron-ics.
In other words, I do think there is a lot in the idea of 'biophysics'. It makes a lot of sense to me.
Sorry for the rambling comment. You got my brain working. Thank you!
Ah - that's annoying - the last two are paywalled. The abstract for Luc Montaigner's paper though looks fascinating. It sort of correlates with what I was trying to get at in a way. If one reproduces the frequencies or patterns of a nucleotide (whose pattern has been sent to you via email) then you would get the same result I would imagine. Seems like a perfectly reasonable hypothesis to me.
A nucleotide, after all, is ultimately a collection or string of specific elements arranged in a specific pattern. Those elements are composed of particles, all of which are just quanta in specific spin-states. So a DNA strand is analogous to an electromagnetic wave, in that sense. Or complex series of EM waves, rather.
Yep, makes sense to me. I'll go with that one.
I think you are on to something with homeopathy by the way - the communication hypothesis (perhaps triggering a cascade of biochemical reactions - i.e. acting as a catalyst - like Interferon does, for example) seems like a very reasonable explanation.
On a definitely 'now I'm going to seem like a weirdo' other note, I have come across descriptions of some medical technology from Atlantis which clearly used resonances and electromagnetic waves to cause (beneficial/curative) effects in the human body and brain. Curing mental illness, for example. The Atlanteans saw 'criminal activities' or 'immoral activities' as a brain disorder - which could be 'corrected' with this technology - obviously in this day and age the bad guys in charge of everything would use this for evil purposes, so it has to be in the right hands (which sort of relates to your point in the article about these researchers being decent people - it's those higher up who use or misuse their research who are the bad guys).
Interestingly this is not as far-fetched as it sounds when we consider some of the MK-Ultra experiments, especially those attributed to 'alien abduction' in which amplification devices would be inserted into subjects, who would then be 'controlled' with remotely delivered EM waves at certain frequencies. Scary stuff, for sure.
This is a lot of food for thought Evelyn! I'm not sure about the spins of the different 'particles', I'd have to delve into that a bit, as I think a proton has significantly greater mass than an electron or a photon, right? And is made up of quarks and all the other bits whereas electrons and photons can't be broken down further, except in terms of their vibration/frequencies. There are definitely researchers looking at biophotonics and specific resonances can be measured within and around the body (think of aura photos for eg). But to get more than a superficial look, you need some pretty heavy physics and maths. Maybe AI will make it more accessible to ordinary-brained people like me. Haha!
With homeopathics though, there are a few questions that don't seem to line up. Have you read about the Benveniste affair? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benveniste_affair A very compelling experiment that wasn't able to be replicated. I wonder if they'll replicate this one from Montaigner. I mean, lack of reproducibility is common in the biosciences, but that shouldn't preclude any findings from being subjected to it.
Remnant indicates it may be too variable to stand up to traditional methods of investigation, but I'm not sure. The radionics machine we had worked by plugging in a number from a book and pushing a button. That seems very precise to me.
Anyway, lots to explore, and super fun to think about. Love your in-depth, physics perspective. Thanks so much for sharing!
I think it might be best to put the physics to one side for the moment - the ideas I was suggesting conflict with the standard model, so it might seem a bit controversial - e.g. the idea there's no such thing as quarks as a separate kind of particle, they're just electrons with different spin combinations (which, of course, means they manifest with different frequencies/oscillations). It's sort of relevant, especially if we're talking about electromagnetism, but it may well overcomplicate everything a little. But I do think it's true that every atom or molecule would have its own unique electromagnetic pattern, simply by virtue of the combination of all the particle spins which make it up. As such, if hypothetically we were to place a single strand of such a molecule in extremely diluted water then its complex spin would not be affected by any impurities (especially in the EZ water - as per the article), and thus that spin-complex would be much more able to have a kind of harmonising effect on the spins of the surrounding molecules - also meaning if you add a catalyst like polymerase then you could create multiple copies.
Obviously I'm kind of thinking out loud here! I may be talking rubbish.
I had not heard of the Benveniste affair - but as soon as I saw the name James Randi alarm bells started ringing and it made me absolutely believe that Benveniste was genuinely onto something. As someone who is well aware of a lot of 'conspiracy theory' ideas, I am very much aware that Randi is not just a 'professional sceptic' - he's actually something of an agent whose entire mission is to attack and destroy anything which threatens orthodox science. This absolutely includes homeopathy, for obvious reasons regarding how much it threatens allopathic pharma industry stuff. It would, in other words, but very strange indeed if the orthodoxy did not have people like Randi going around attempting to discredit and use his magician's sleight of hand techniques to prevent replication of experiments.
The other interesting observation was his use of IgE, which itself could be said to be homeopathic in terms of its extremely low concentrations in blood serum (0.0001%). I think the correspondences between allergies and homeopathy are definitely worthy of serious consideration in that sense.
This is all wonderfully fascinating stuff and I am going to keep thinking about it for some time, I think...
I had a brief look at the biophotonics and the radionics links - I was reminded immediately of those Atlantean anecdotes. Obviously most people dismiss Atlantis as myth, but it makes sense to me. This is the kind of approach to medical care they would've adopted, and it's very pleasing to me to see that even modern science is now approaching a position where it's become technologically possible to study these sorts of phenomena.
It also makes sense that the mainstream medical industry would attempt to discredit all of this, and call it pseudoscience (e.g. the Wiki article on radionics, showing blatant signs of bias). A patient cured is a customer lost, as they say...
Once again, I love the easy conversational tone you bring to your writing on any topic. I don't think that the mainstream medicine (or any other industry) is out to get the small guy. I also don't believe that the alternatives have only our best interests at heart. I do believe however in the usefulness of questioning everyone from time to time and checking if we're all all aligned and going in the right direction. Looking at medicine as a business is a cynical approach to health. Such views for example need an update and upgrade.
I really liked this one! Jetlagged brain doesn’t have the capacity to fully discuss why at the moment, but I liked reading about your real life experience with both homeopathy and biochemistry, and I always appreciate all of your facets, from science to writing to trapeze work to old Nissans.

Thanks Claudia. I agree that we can lose sight of what's important too easily!
