Genetic information
carries four fundamental programs of life: development, maintenance, reproduction,
and death, but these programs operate not on a chemical level, i.e., not
by direct chemical interactions with genes. Dr. Craig Venter very thoughtfully
mentioned this at the TV announcement of the deciphering of the human genome
in 2000. This “different level of organization”— the Biofield
Control System (BCS) of the organism — is a hierarchical structure
that includes the whole organism, organs, tissues and cells. It also includes
the mind (at the organism level) that materializes all fundamental programs
of life in behavior.
Ignoring
the role of the BCS impairs biomedical science and pharmacology and consequently
the social health care system. But the root of the problem is in the insufficiency
of contemporary Newtonian physics which does not have any concept of the
physical interactions responsible for emergence and existence of life.
The book suggests some ways
to approach the problem. It consists of three parts: I — Concept of
the biofield control system, its structure and its history; II — Experimental
observations, and III — Alternative physical models.
The
concept of the biofield has a century-long history. It was engendered by
developmental biologists in opposition to the strictly genetic, biochemical
approach (Prof. L. Beloussov, Moscow State University with a Commentary
by American Professors J. Opitz and S. Gilbert) and was independently introduced
by the Romanian biochemist E. Machovschi in the 1950s – 1970s as the
“biostructure” (Prof. G. Drochioui, Romanian University). The
structure of the BCS and its function suggest that the physical carrier
of the BCS cannot be reduced to any of the currently known fundamental physical
interactions (S. Savva).
Experimental
observations include confirmation of the biological nuclear synthesis introduced
by Louis Kervran (Dr. A. Kornilova, Moscow State University, and Prof. V.
Vysotsky, Ukraine State University); water interaction with hydrophobic
liquids (S. Savva); paradoxical effects of super low doses of biologically
active substances on living systems (Prof. E. Burlakova et al. Institute
of Biochemical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences); and communications
between living systems (Prof. J. Kiang, Walter Read Army Institute of Research
and C. Backster, Backster Foundation). These observations indicate that
the physical carrier (or carriers) of BCS must have both energy and informational
qualities and that it is (they are) capable of interacting with the currently
known fundamental physical forces.
Alternative
theoretical physical models presented and referred to in the book reveal
the inadequacy of the current scientific paradigm (Dr. J. Bockris and Dr.
H. Puthoff), suggest a five-dimensional space-time model (J. Beichler),
an eleven-dimensional space-time model (Prof. W. Tiller) and a concept of
stable structures in superfluid vacuum (Dr. N. Sotina, Moscow State University).
