Why colloidal solutions are used in medicines

Blood cells are once again discrete and highly mobile, regaining their efficiency as carriers of oxygen. The subject reported feeling bright and energetic. We know today that all living organisms are composed of highly structured colloidal systems and that these form the basis of a gigantic colloidal computer.

Every cell has an internal colloidal system arranged in patterns to create specific functions. The cells surrounding nerve fibers-glial cells in the brain, Schwann cells in the rest of the body-are made up of high-zeta-potential colloids arranged in a structured matrix.

In his book The Body Electric, he describes his discovery of an analog computer-type healing system in the body. Until he made this discovery, it was thought that the nervous system was a digital information transfer system.

In an analog computer, information is transmitted by voltage levels or by current intensity. Becker found that glial and Schwann cells form the basis of a direct-current, analog healing system for broken bones. The body produces a negative electrical current across the break, which mediates the healing process-by attracting nutrient ions to the area, for one thing. He also found that glial cells and Schwann cells are semiconductors just like transistors and that there is a direct correspondence between these cells and the acupuncture energy system mapped out by the ancient Chinese.

Despite his brilliance, however, Becker joins other pioneers in being ignored and shunned by establishment savants because his work threatened vested interests and carefully guarded concepts on several fronts.

Thus, for one thing, a marvellous development of his-a safe, effective method of regenerative, scar less healing of severe injury-has been denied to the world. The body has a special mechanism-called, for convenience, the blood-brain barrier-that somehow prevents many substances from entering the brain. When the electrolyte balance is disturbed and the crystalline structure of this vital liquid changes, unwanted materials may pass the barrier.

Since a colloidal system supports intercellular fluid, the same situation may exist here, so that if the colloidal system is compromised, the electrolytes lose their ability to reject unwanted substances. ELF signals are transmitted by power lines and hundreds of industrial and household products.

Everything from hair dryers, TV sets, computers, washing machines, clothes dryers, even electric wrist watches emit these low frequency waves. Becker believes the health and possibly the existence of the human race is threatened by these signals, as they alter the chemistry of life an area in which he threatened money interests. Experiments have shown that colloidal dispersion is threatened with collapse by ELF signals when the zeta potential of the colloidal system is low.

At this point it takes very little stress to trigger flocculation in the system. This occurs with most colloids at a zeta potential of around 1 millivolt. It is possible that the increase in zeta potential achieved by adding high energy colloids and anionic electrolytes to the body will protect us from these harmful energies. As noted, colloids and electrolytes relate to and support one another by their electrical bio-energy. Health is vitally characterized by organized matter that carries a high negative surface charge.

I refer to such areas as dead zones. They exist in the blood as rouleau, as fused cells in tissues, and in the intercellular fluid itself see below. Toxins and debris in the system promote loss of negative surface charge and act as mortar to glue cells together, reducing function and efficiency. Given the chance, the body will deal with these areas in an electrical manner somewhat analogous to Dr. Here, however, the electricity is not a current, but is static.

Highly negatively charged colloidal mineral particles will be attracted to these zones, exert their influence and re-establish balance, allowing blood cells to dissociate and opening up cellular communication in tissue. A most crucial area for appreciating the significance colloids and their flocculation, is the intercellular fluid, or body humours.

As described by OC Gruner the flow of life is maintained in the space between cells, where the living system has enclosed part of the ocean, so to speak. The flow moves from the capillaries through the interstitial spaces, then, after exchanges with the cells, back into the lymphatic channels.

Moreover, the parts beyond cease to receive the materials needed…. We have this principle then: there is only one disease. All the or so diseases described in textbooks of medicine are fundamentally forms of one and the same disorder The pathogen is of course not a microform but a toxin. Nutritional deficiency, the other major pathogenic factor, must also be kept in mind. As long as this flow is unhindered, the individual is in a state of health.

The neuro-endocrine system, the neuro-lymphatic system and the muscular system are all tied together via the meridians identified by the Chinese over 5, years ago and used in acupuncture ever since.

And the operating principle of acupuncture recalls the yogic understanding of prana life force and the chakras. The Law of Balance is again manifest as the yin and yang aspects of life force.

Thus, in addition to food, the body ingests, assimilates and excretes subtle vibratory energies, including normally invisible light frequencies. An interesting aspect is that Gruner sees both the lake and the lymphatics as vital sites of parenteral digestion.

This is the real digestion. It is the site of constant building up and tearing down, through enzyme activity. Besides this anoxia…. Failing the breakdown of the materials in question, deposition will occur.

As Lumiere pointed out, it is not the chemistry per se that accounts for health, it is the due retention of the colloidal state [emphasis added]. When flocculation precipitation, deposition occurs, the signs of disease appear.

To sum up, the effects of interference are evident to the clinician in all the manifold forms which disease assumes. Their real significance is appreciated in terms of biocolloidology. What structure could be responsible for most or all of the critical fermentations and anabolic enzyme activity carried on in this inner sanctum?

Our fundamental anatomical elements, the colloidal microzymas of the brilliant Antoine Bechamp? It is the electrical, or bioenergetic nature of the fluid that supports the flow, and it is primarily a colloidal system, in concert with molecular electrolytes, that constitutes its electrical nature.

A fascinating point to be made with respect to anabolic activity is that Gruner believes the lake to be the birthplace of cells, which must also be the work of the tireless and indestructible microzymas. With regard to the presence of light in living systems, recent discoveries indicate that colloids play a critical role in the vital function of intercellular communication.

Discoveries by Fritz Albert Popp of Germany indicate that the DNA molecule transmits its blueprint information to other cells by means of encoded bursts of ultraviolet laser light. Popp indicates that the structure of cellular water is created by minute quantities of highly charged colloidal minerals. In the billions of cells comprising tissues and organs, energy is obtained from certain metals, among them iron, iodine, manganese and copper.

There are some 32 minerals in the body, with traces of at least as many others. Colloidal nutritional chemistry is the science which converts those elements into particles so minute they can be utilized directly by cells and the intercellular fluid. Ideally, a nutrient should be administered in such a form that its essential constituent will travel through the body until it reaches the part where it is required, and that it arrives at that organ or tissue in such a state as to be used to the greatest advantage.

To administer a substance in chemical form because it has been isolated from brain matter, for example, may be to misunderstand the chemical and physical changes which take place in assimilation, and thus to supply the material in a form from which it has to be converted. The fact that this conversion occurs shows how marvellous an alchemist the human organism is; but it is no reason for the administration of agents in less than ideal form, especially when the physiology is weakened.

The treatment of a disease condition by the administration of various compounds is much more completely understood when it is realized that the reactions deal largely with colloidal materials and systems. Nutritional and remedial treatments become most efficient when they can be based entirely upon this principle or can include it, eliminating or minimizing further disturbance to the system.

Before the s, even though certain colloids had seen substantial success-colloidal silver for example-the full health potential of colloids in general had not been demonstrated. This is due to a number of factors, of which the two most important are: 1 the difficulty of studying the special properties of substances in the colloidal state with the technology at hand in the first three decades of the 20th century; 2 failure of early investigators to realize the necessity of stabilizing the remedial colloid in terms of rendering it is osmotic with the blood serum, thus preventing precipitation.

Thus, their potential has waited to outlive the devastation of health by drugs and has become more fully realized only in the last decade. It is now quite evident that the application of colloidal sols to the disease condition of the human body is distinctly encouraging. As suggested, a supply of improperly prepared and unstable colloidal systems has been one of the most serious sources of drawbacks and discouragement.

In sols, the presence of very small quantities of certain salts, the ions or ultimate particles of which have an electrical charge opposite to that of the active colloid, will coagulate the latter unless it is protected by some means. In this case, coagulation or precipitation can occur only when the protective agent has been destroyed or removed. In the s, upon recognition of the colloidal nature of the chief body fluids, German investigators saw the enormous possibilities for the application of colloidal disinfectants and medicines.

Some were so unstable they contained no active colloid at the time of use, and others, not being is osmotic with body fluids, coagulated immediately upon administration. On the other hand, if a substance is converted to the colloidal state in the presence of certain other colloids and of certain salts, the activity of the desired colloid will not be impaired and the system will be quite stable, mixing easily with blood or other body fluids without being rendered inactive by them.

A potential drawback is that, while the additional colloids and salts enable use under otherwise impossible circumstances, the action of the protective agents becomes a factor. Usually it appears to be negligible, but occasionally it has been observed to be of considerable importance. A great advantage which colloidal sols of elements possess over compounds is the facility with which their action may be studied.

If a salt or other compound is administered, there is always the chance of it undergoing hydrolysis or ionization in the alimentary canal or bloodstream, thereby setting up a complex situation in which elements other than the one under investigation become involved.

For example, iron may be administrated in the form of a carbonate which is converted in the stomach into chloride and this, on dilution, is hydrolyzed so that eventually there are formed both hydroxide and chloride of iron.

If the iron were administered as a colloidal element, these complications would be avoided and the investigator would be much more certain in drawing conclusions. Also, an element in the ionized state is always associated with its corresponding ion s. Thus, ionized potassium chloride separates into potassium ions and chlorine ions, and the net charge of the system is neutralized. When the element is administered in the colloidal state, however, it is introduced alone as an active agent, the charge in the particles is quite definite, and activity is correspondingly great.

Also, the extreme toxicity of many combined or non-colloidal elements is avoided when administered in the form of colloidal sols, while usefulness is brought to the fore. The remarkable fact that colloidal silver and iodine do not stain the skin, whereas pharmaceutical preparations of silver and iodine do so strongly, is a further indication of the striking difference between colloidal sols and ordinary solutions. The effect of administering elements in a colloidal state to persons suffering from certain symptomologies is extremely interesting, partly because of the progress of the recovery, and partly because of the absence of complications such as occur when the same element is administered in another form.

Consequently, there is much truth in the statement that a substance to be fully efficient must be in a colloidal state, or very easily convertible to it in the body of the subject. Many metallic colloids serve as powerful catalysts.

For example, colloidal silver, titanium, gold, platinum, rhodium, iridium, osmium and palladium are effective catalysts in the despecialization and respecialization of cells. I have observed that these highly negatively charged metal sols can cause red or white blood cells to dedifferentiate to their embryonic state and then redifferentiate into cells needed due to emotional or physical stresses, e.

This phenomenon was seen in a patient with third degree burns on his hands and face. As silver and titanium metal sols were administered topically, new skin grew rapidly through the respecialization of blood cells.

Even where there were skin grafts, new skin was created underneath them, where the metal sols were administered. Based on the state of Aggregation of phase 2. Based on the interaction of phase 6.
