1/18/2022 0 Comments Quantum MedicineHumans have been documenting, studying and revering the effects of quantum medicine for millennia. In the absence of science, spontaneous healing, even remissions of the most aggressive types of cancers have been attributed to divine intervention or misdiagnosis. Science simply overlooks its existence, although its presence cannot be ignored. Clinical trials call a tiny, spontaneous part of it, the placebo effect. Belief is the part of our story that re-writes our destiny. Born in proven science, quantum medicine charts possibilities, miracles and the future of medicine. Does it lay the ground for quantum (light and sound) technologies, quantum biofeedback, quantum hematology, medical herbals, bioenergetic dynamism, etc? Although the definitions and use of quantum medicine are being advanced and standardized today, the concept or its workings are not new. Why this field was not developed sooner is not a mystery. Marred by politics, regulations and rigid business modeling, modern medicine still uses Newtonian physics, which is not the better option when we consider the infinitesimally small systems and biochemicals that govern the physiological processes within our bodies. Quantum physics gives us the best modeling of nature in the world of the very small. It all started in 1900 when physicist Max Planck was studying something called ultraviolet catastrophe — a discord of scientific predictions and what was actually happening. Based on Newtonian physics, if a black box was heated up in such a way that the light could not escape, an infinite amount of ultraviolet radiation should have been produced. That did not occur, but the perceived paradox eventually led to Einstein’s supposition that light was made up of particles. These particles were named photons by Gilbert Lewis in 1926. The basic idea was that particles could contain energy of certain sizes led to Niels’ Bohr discovery that this energy is not arbitrary and is organized in multiples of the standard quantum of energy. In simple terms, quantum physics is the science of the infinitesimally small. It’s a magical mystery land where two particles can exist in the same space and time, a particle can exist in two places at the same time, it can spin both to the left and to the right simultaneously, and it can change behavior depending on whether it is being observed or not. And the strangeness does not end there. Reality in itself does not exist until it is being measured. Quantum physics is the world of probability. If an object is given a choice on how to behave, no decision is made until the object is observed. Much more than a theory, this branch of science is used ubiquitously in modern technology. In one study, a test conducted by Professor Andrew Truscott, used a single helium atom which was isolated, moved through a laser beam, and left to “decide” which way to go. At the same time a random generator was used to decide whether to split the beam to obstruct the atom or not. The atom didn’t go from point A to point B. It decided on which way it would go and whether to behave as a particle or as a wave only after it was measured, the research found. This experiment was originally proposed by John Wheeler in 1978, but it was impossible to be run at the time, until the researchers came up with something similar. At the end of the day, the end result confirmed the postulation — it showed that measurement creates reality … at least, at quantum level. David Bohm also studied wave functions governed by Schrodinger’s equation, the math that led to paradoxical quantum uncertainties. Bohm disagreed with the Copenhagen interpretation of Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle by asserting that every particle has a definite location (even when it’s not being observed) and if you know its position, you can determine where it will end up. Unlike in the classical mechanics view, however, Bohm worked from a position of nonlocality. In other words, the supposition of “spooky action at a distance” remains. What that means is that when a cell divides and something is done to that cell, the split off cell would feel it too no matter the distance. This is called quantum entanglement and hundreds of experiments beginning in the 80s, have proven its existence. The startling implications of quantum healing assigns power to ordinary people previously reserved for Olympus. Having evidence that points to self-healing as a viable science-backed technique is grand and empowering. It’s not an easy-heal button or a pill. It requires a different environment on a macro and micro levels, deep faith, patience and a new awareness of one’s condition. It requires fundamental creativity, giving life to a new insight … or situational creativity — a new lesson from an old problem. In studying spontaneous remissions, Dr. Amit Goswami (a leading quantum physicist, author, lecturer, thinker, researcher and the author of one of the most successful, globally used quantum mechanics textbooks to date) writes: “…scientific materialism leaves no room for theorizing about non-physical sources of human disease. But is this belief system correct? In fact, it is based on an archaic Newtonian physics that has been replaced by a new paradigm called quantum physics quite some time ago. Quantum objects are transcendent waves of possibility residing in a domain of potentiality; when subjected to measurement, however, they behave as particles in the physical space and time. This is contrary to scientific materialism: not one domain of reality, but two. Quantum physics also allows non-locality, signal-less communication, opening wide the question of nonphysical source of causality.” Dr. Goswami continues to question determinism and thus what modern medicine is based on, as determinism does not hold water based on current scientific advancements. Quantum science is probabilistic and thus casts doubt on genetic determinism. It shows a new approach in integrating conventional and alternative treatment methods supported by non-deterministic measurement, psychophysical parallelism and experimental data. A wave of possibility becomes a particle of actuality when observed and science lays consciousness as the foundation of all being. As an observer chooses from many possible outcomes within a possibility wave, the observer himself/herself is responsible for the collapse of a wave into a particle. In order for us to do that consciously, we need to understand psychology and in this case, Carl Jung’s classifications of experience — sensing, feeling, thinking and intuiting. Jung’s empirical data dismantles scientific materialism; cause and effect flow through human experience. Dr. Goswami builds on these notions by depicting four non-physical “bodies or worlds of quantum possibilities.” He names them vital, mental, supramental and bliss. Quantum medicine deals with all five human bodies, the one physical and four non-physical. Each of these bodies carries a different quality of information. They run from more subtle to more solid, starting with Bliss and ending with the Physical Body. The quantum balance in a life-form is a prerequisite for healing. The subtle blueprints for our organs exist in a non-physical realm called morphogenetic fields. Proposed by a Cambridge-educated scientist, Rupert Sheldrake, these fields respond to a phenomenon called morphic resonance. In Sheldrake’s own words, “Morphic resonance is the influence of previous structures of activity on subsequent similar structures of activity organized by morphic fields. It enables memories to pass across both space and time from the past. The greater the similarity, the greater the influence of morphic resonance. What this means is that all self-organizing systems, such as molecules, crystals, cells, plants, animals and animal societies, have a collective memory on which each individual draws and to which it contributes.” Quantum medicine aims to restore the morphogenetic field through an integrative approach. Dr. Paul Drouin, a Canadian medical doctor, acupuncturist, professor, thinker and pro-consciousness author, writes that the purpose of quantum medicine is to “restore the morphogenetic field, the blueprint for the organs, to its full potential, tuning in to a creative mode of operating in relation with the higher self. Positive health is achieved when the physical, vital, mental, supramental, and bliss bodies are in tune and congruent with the core source.” The subtle world of emotions creates tens of thousands of naturally secreted chemicals that rush through our bodies, evoking sympathetic response. The disease-causing role of imbalances has been long known, as the body vigorously labors to achieve homeostasis. What we have ignored is that these chemicals can bring balance as well. Direct look at brain activity while experiencing gratitude, for example, has shown blood flow in various parts of the brain. Overall higher levels of activity in the hypothalamus have also been detected. Since the hypothalamus controls a huge array of essential bodily functions (e.g., drinking, eating, sleeping and metabolism among others), it also affects stress levels. Grateful people were found to be happier and healthier with improved sleep, decreased depression levels and fewer aches and pains. “Furthermore, feelings of gratitude directly activated brain regions associated with the neurotransmitter dopamine. Dopamine feels good to get, which is why it’s generally considered the “reward” neurotransmitter.” — Alex Korb, PhD (2012) The link between our emotions and the chemicals released in our bodies are the basis for vital body medicine, although the vital energy movements of feeling are also aided or deterred by nutrition, as depicted by vital energy traditions of healing such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, homeopathy, and Ayurveda. “This scientific validation of our subtle experiences of feeling, thinking, and intuition, opens the door for the validation of alternative practices of medicine that postulate an important disease-causing role to imbalances of the subtle movements of our experience… now that quantum physics has enabled us, a unified way of incorporating all our experiences within one integral metaphysics, we can also integrate all the medicine practices within one unified practice of quantum integral medicine.” (Goswami 2013) The leap from thoughts to emotions is basic and easy to grasp. This exemplifies transference from the vital body to the physical body. Intuition, or the subconscious picking up of signs and imbalances that are present (although we are not consciously aware) are also not difficult to comprehend. This depicts a flow from the supramental to the mental body of an individual. Bliss is somewhat elusive, yet a logical extenuation of the hierarchy of thought and creation. According to Goswami, riding along the wave of possibility is a path charted by signal-less communication stemming from a non-locality. We may choose from particles along the path, but we cannot change the waves of possibility, where a conflicting paradox may be created. Simply stated, our dreams have a better chance of manifestation if they include selfless thoughts geared toward the betterment of humanity, community, family or children. We are parts of the whole, and that whole seeks out ways to better itself, to self-heal and repair. That is entanglement. How do we transfer this knowledge further into healing? The fine mastery of quantum healing is related to consciousness, asserts Dr. Paul Drouin, referencing Dr. Deepak Chopra’s book, Quantum Healing. One of the observations that gives an insight into the miraculous healings of terminal patients was the realization that the turning point came after the patients had experienced a new awareness of their situation. Dr. Amit Goswami adds the concept of Quantum Creativity to the blueprint of quantum healing. Dr. Drouin has written extensively on his motivation in laying the groundwork toward a new paradigm in healthcare. His book, Creative Integrative Medicine, foresees a revolution that would inspire a renaissance in medical education. Dr. Drouin’s work at Quantum University, with collaboration from pro-consciousness leaders such as Dr. Amit Goswami, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Dr. Joe Dispenza and many others, also charts a new foundation for medical instructions based on the updated model of the science of quantum physics. From socio-economic reorganization, to technology-enabled evaluation and preventive care supporting a positive lifestyle, this path promises a future that dismantles current linear models of thinking. As healthcare practitioners, we need to re-center our thinking around the full potential of the individual. We need to use multi-pronged approaches to finding the true causes of patients’ physical, emotional (vital), psychological (mental) and spiritual (supramental) well-being in order to address the root-causes of their imbalances. Paralleling Drouin and Goswami’s work, Dr. Bruce Lipton comes from an entirely different perspective to contribute to the empirical science that lays consciousness as the foundation of healing. He goes a step further to provide insight into the biology of how genetic data becomes read and expressed. Dr. Lipton’s science takes us “from victim to creator.” It shows us how central we are in creating our lives. Trained in cell culturing, Dr. Lipton started cloning stem cells in 1968 under the guidance of Dr. Irv Konigsberg who created the first stem cell cultures. Experimentation led to a peculiar outcome — the environment changed and determined the birth of new cells. Muscle progenitor cells sometimes stayed as muscle, sometimes become bone or fat cells. Genes, therefore, do not determine the formation of cells. Dr. Lipton also views each one of the 70 trillion cells in our bodies as living, sentient individuals with their own purpose, living within a community. Health is a function of the harmony within that community. In today’s world, where individualized genetic research is touted as the end-all in therapy — from weight loss to alcoholism — we must consider the history behind the Human Genome Project. Paul Silverman, one of the lead architects of the project, disclosed that the researchers were sponsored by venture capitalists, expecting to discover 150,000+ genes — one for each of the 100,000 proteins in the body, plus about 50,000 genes controlling the other genes. Each sequence was to be patented and sold to pharmaceutical companies. 150,000 genes leading to 150,000 new medicines were expected to bring in a vast amount of wealth. The project had little to do human evolution and a lot to do with making money. The human genome stopped at uncovering only about 25,000 genes with no mention of the 100,000+ expected missing genes. In addition, gene expression is controlled by receptors. Each gene is a program. Cell membranes function just like information processors. Unique, identifying protein keys called receptors live on the surface of our cells. These keys respond to environmental information — what comes in and what stays out. Our receptors function as antennas that pick up broadcasts. That is how gene expression is determined. That is the essence of the science of epigenetics — the controls above the controls. And we are the broadcasts. We control our cells. Specifically, not “we” but our perceptions. Receptors can create perceptions, and perceptions change receptors, as receptor cells are changed by stimulus. A transmembrane protein receptor, for example, is a cell membrane protein that creates a physiological change in a neuron. This usually happens through cell signaling or through opening of ion channels. Transmembrane receptors are activated by perception. The sensation of touch and perception are also closely related. Sensation is data collected by sensory receptors, and perception is how the brain selects, organizes, and interprets these sensations. Each individual brain interprets stimuli differently. That interpretation is based on history, learning, experience, memory, emotions, and expectations. Quantum physics supports all of this as well, as it reveals only energy beneath our apparent physicality. We are not separate from our environment or from each other, posits quantum entanglement. The future of medicine brings the quantum world into focus. The reductionist thinking of the mechanical world is marred by limitations. Biological processes are quantum processes and should be treated as such. Our environment is an energy field and it is “everything from the core of being to the edge of the universe.” — Bruce Lipton, PhD Spontaneous healing and the placebo effect are also quantum processes that boast scientific merit. The field of psychology claims as its own. Yet, there is scant regard or examination of the biological processes that must happen for mind-body medicine to be effective. Could you imagine the ramifications of controlling placebo outcomes via a structured scientific method? The placebo effect is the most wonderful part of healing — it is side-effect free and it doesn’t have to cost anything. Why is placebo healing left to chance when it’s a vital component of one’s ability to recover? Why do most mainstream studies start with bias right from the beginning? Professor Ted Kaptchuk of Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, for example, conducted a study that showed a migraine placebo medication being 50% effective due to the ritual of imbibing a pill periodically. This process, he believes, triggers an expectation or a belief in healing, which translates into a real, marked improvement. “…experts have concluded that reacting to a placebo is not proof that a certain treatment doesn’t work, but rather that another, non-pharmacological mechanism may be present…How placebos work is still not quite understood, but it involves a complex neurobiological reaction that includes everything from increases in feel-good neurotransmitters, like endorphins and dopamine, to greater activity in certain brain regions linked to moods, emotional reactions, and self-awareness. All of it can have therapeutic benefit.” (Harvard 2017) The power of the placebo effect, Published: May, 2017 Dr. Kaptchuk’s research stops at placebo for pain, excluding physiological changes for chronic conditions, yet today, through quantum theory and specifically the New World View, we have an insight into the foundational science behind it. Dr. Amit Goswami has drawn a map of the road to conscious quantum jumping, and Dr. Bruce Lipton has revealed epigenetics, effectors, receptors and the physiological changes that occur prompted by belief. We know that spontaneous healing is real. The libraries are full of books, examples, and doctor accounts. Long accepted by ancient traditions as miracles of God (and in a sense they are), there are natural laws that can promulgate connecting to all-there-is, the non-locality, source, spirit… [insert your choice of word for the Universal Force here]. A beautiful concept lay herein, one free of dogma, separation and even religion, one that makes us all parts of the same.
