PROSTATE CANCER

Incidence:

200,000 American men per year

Death rate:

30,000 per year

Diagnosis:

Most men are diagnosed by an elevated prostate specific antigen blood test (PSA).

Less commonly, by an abnormal digital rectal examination (DRE)

 

PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGEN (PSA)

A protein produced by the prostate

Measures the amount of PSA in a sample of blood

Most men with prostate cancer have an elevated PSA (greater than 4 ng/mL)

An elevated PSA level does not mean there is a cancer

The most common cause for an elevated PSA is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate.

Only 30 percent of men with an elevated PSA have prostate cancer.

PSA:

Less than 10 ng/mL is 70 to 80 percent have organ-confined disease

10 to 50 ng/L is 50 percent have organ-confined disease

Higher than 50 ng/ml is 25 percent organ confined

J Urol 1993; 150:110

PSA may not be elevated with Gleason score 8 and above

 

PROSTATE BIOPSY

Generally recommended if:

The prostate is enlarged or irregularly shaped on rectal examination

The following risk factors are present:

Age

All men are at risk for prostate cancer

Risk greatly increases with older age

Rarely found prostate in men younger than 50 years of age

Ethnic background —

Black men develop prostate cancer more often than white men

Black men are more likely to die of prostate cancer than white men.

Family medical history —

Men who have a first-degree relative (a father or brother) with prostate cancer are more likely to develop the disease

Elevated or increasing PSA level since the previous year

 

GLEASON GRADE

A pathological grade of prostate cancer aggressiveness (from 1 to 5) obtained from a pathology specimen

 

1.Well differentiated (almost normal), least aggressive

2.Rarely spreads

3.Seldom spreads

4.Often spreads

5.Poorly differentiated, most aggressive, usually spreads. PSA may be low.

 

GLEASON SCORE

Calculated by adding the grades of the  two most common areas of abnormal growth

Low Score: 2 to 4-not a threat in the patients lifetime

Intermediate Score: 5 to 7-most common (90% of males with prostate cancer)

High Score: 8 to 10-almost always metastatic

 

PROSTATE CANCER STAGE OR EXTENT OF DISEASE

Tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) system

Clinical staging determined by digital rectal examination(DRE)

Pathological staging determined by microscopic examination of tissue

 

CANCER STAGE

Tumor

Normal Anatomy

Images from the National Cancer Institute www.cancer.gov

T1 tumors are microscopic and cannot be felt during rectal examination

T2 tumors can be felt with a rectal examination, but appear to be confined to the prostate gland

T3 tumors have grown beyond the prostate into the capsule

T4 tumors have grown locally beyond the prostate, and involve nearby tissues

T3 or T4 tumor are not likely to be cured, even by surgery

 

Regional and Distant Lymph Nodes where prostate cancer is found

The regional lymph nodes are the nodes of the true pelvis, which are:

The pelvic nodes below the bifurcation of the common iliac arteries

They include the following groups:

Pelvic, not otherwise specified (NOS)

Hypogastric

Obturator

Iliac (internal, external, or NOS)

Sacral (lateral, presacral, promontory, or NOS)

Albertsen PC, Hanley JA, Harlan LC, et al. J Urol 2000;163:1138–1143

Distant lymph nodes where cancer of the prostate is found. These lie outside the confines of the true pelvis.

General diagram of lymph node areas

Distant lymph nodes include:

(Refer to the general diagram for the specific sites where prostate cancer may spread. These specific sites are are listed below)

Aortic (para-aortic lumbar)

Common iliac

Inguinal, deep and superficial (femoral)

Supraclavicular

Cervical

Scalen

Retroperitoneal, NOS

CA Cancer J Clin 2008; 58:54-59

Metastasis

Peripheral white area in the bone of the lower lumbar vertebrae and sacrum is prostate cancer. Metastatic lymph nodes of the pelvis surround the pelvic vessels

Osteoblastic metastases are the most common non-nodal site of prostate cancer metastasis (M1b)

Other non-bony sites would include:

Lung

Liver

Adrenal gland

Peritoneum or visceral sites (M1c)

Flanigan RC, McKay TC, Olson M, et al. Urology 1996;48:428–432

BONE SCAN

Recommended for men with high-grade Gleason scale

Not usually necessary with:

Low-grade (T1 or T2) cancer on physical examination

A Gleason score of less than or equal to 6

PSA value less than 10 ng/mL

 

CT (COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY) SCAN OF THE ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

To determine the spread beyond the prostate

Not usually necessary:

With low-grade (T1 or T2) cancer on physical examination Gleason score of less than or equal to 6

PSA value less than 10 ng/mL

 

ENDORECTAL COIL MRI

Magnetic Resonance Imaging to assess the prostate and the surrounding tissues

Not in widespread use

 

PROS AND CONS OF SCREENING

Effectiveness of Prostate Cancer Screening:

Effective prostate cancer screening must:

Reduce disease-specific morbidity and/or mortality

Clinical trials

No benefit in morbidity and mortality has been found from current randomized, controlled screening trials

ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT PROSTATE SCREENING PROGRAMS

It can be concluded from the above discussion that optimal screening for prostate cancer has not yet been achieved.

The greatest advantage from current screening is in raising an awareness of the need for early detection, while cancer is still confined within the prostate gland , a time when it can be successfully removed by surgery.

The current system does not screen for the preconditions that lead to malignant degeneration in the first place. All the current system does is to identify prostate cancer after it has developed. Once malignant transformation has occurred, treatment is much more difficult.

There is a need for a system of screening that can detect the preconditions that lead to the formation of cancer and one that can identify those conditions that prevent tumor resolution.

I believe that a system of electrodermal detection and signal modulation can be developed to address these concerns. I hope to present an evidence based  non-invasive, cost effective method of electrodermal screening  and treatment of prostate cancer in my future discussions.

MEDICAL PROFILE OF THE CASE

FIRST ITERATION

7/9/02

HISTORY: A 61 year-old white male with a history of Scleroderma since 1989. Arthritis developed three years ago. He has the Raynaud phenomenon, ulcers of his fingers, slightly altered renal and cardiac function with a small pleural and pericardial effusion. Mild hypertension is controlled with Calcium/Magnesium tablets and with 10 mg of Quinapril, an ACE (angiotensinconverting enzyme) inhibitor and is taking thyroid hormone replacement for hypothyroidism. He has erectile dysfunction.

PAST HISTORY: The patient was an avid outdoors-man during his teenage years into his 20s. He collected snakes for research purposes and as a result had several envenomizations. He has had numerous tick bites and one Brown Recluse spider bite. It was the patient’s opinion that Scleroderma symptoms started shortly after "allergy?" injections. Besides living near the Great Dismal Swamp in southeastern Virginia, he lived in Panama and Southeast Asia and traveled into the interior parts of the Mexican jungle.

TREATMENT: Intravenous EDTA chelation and antioxidant nutrients. He refused Penicillamine, Methotrexate and Prednisone.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: A well-developed white male with shiny, taut skin of his face and extremities, atrophy of the skin of the fingers with Raynaud’s phenomenon, ulceration of the tip of the right middle finger, stiff joints of the hands and feet and muscle atrophy. HEART: normal. LUNGS: normal.

PROFILE DEVELOPMENT AND REPORTING

For research purposes I changed some of the names used in electrodermal screening. This newer technology reflects an upgrade of the acupuncture model because it includes electromagnetic analysis of both energy and information, not just energy alone.

Instead of electro-acupuncture, I use Electrodermal Detection since I do not produce a current of injury by puncturing. I apply a probe that closes an electical loop that includes information in the subject and information in the computer.

Instead of control measurement point (CMP), I use Main Detection Site.  CMP is derived from KMP (kontrol mess punkt) a German acupuncture term.

Instead of acupuncture point, I use Electrodermal Detection Site. I do not insert a needle at a specific skin point. I apply a positive electric probe at a specific skin site for the purpose of detecting an electromagnetic signal at that site.

Instead of acupuncture meridian, I use Detection Array because it defines a set order of linear signals in the context of an electromagnetic model.

The electrodermal profile was obtained by testing the Main Detection Sites for each Detection Array and then testing each Detection Site on the array, only if the main detection site was abnormal. At times detection sites were chosen based the site of a clinical condition alone. I have a list of detection sites arranged according to organs and systems and a graphic display of all the detection sites in my book An Electrodermal Analysis of Biological Conductance.

In this report I listed organs, systems, clinical conditions and assessment of each iteration in BOLD CAPITAL letters.

Each detection site has:

A capitalized bold letter/number combination

An abbreviation of a detection site e.g. SV 48– Secondary Vessel 48 a site on the mid palm proximal (toward the body) of the ring finger

A real language name for the site(s) of origin of a code e.g. striated muscle.

A frequency from a frequency generator. Each "X" equals 50-60 cycles per second.

A cognitively derived value of the time that a signal became detectable

ASSESSMENT

Borrelia burgdorferi was the most frequent  signal in this case initially.

Sites with a signal for Borrelia burgdorferi:

SV 48 Striated Muscle sites

SV 47 Smooth muscle

HT 6 Myocardium

CI 4a Muscular wall of arteries

The Borrelia burgdorferi signal was imprinted in his biofield 58 years ago when he was 8-years old. He lived in a town adjacent to the Great Dismal Swamp in southeastern Virginia, an area where there is a heavy deer and tick population. Borrelia signals were detected at smooth muscle and striated muscle sites. The smooth muscle of the esophagus are associated with dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and smooth muscles of the arterial wall relate to the skin ulcer of his right middle finger, atrophy of the skin, ischemia and the Raynaud phenomenon. Muscle atrophy could  be related to Borreliosis. (Rheumatology (Oxford) 2005 May;44(5):587-96).The Muscular Layer of the Arteries site, CI4a at which the  Borrelia burgdorferi signal was detected  may be associated with tissue ischemia. (Rheum Dis Clin North Am 2003 May;29(2):275-91)

The Microcirculation of Degeneration Site  OR 1c-1 seems be an important site for detection for Scleroderma. Transforming Growth Factor, a cytokine; Beta Glucan a biological defense modifier; and Feline Infectious Peritonitis virus , an animal virus were identified at this detection site. Feline Infectious Peritonitis virus produces intense inflammation in cats. It is an example of an animal virus signal identified in a human subject. It not unreasonable to suspect an inflammatory reaction in the human host as well. (NEJM Volume 342:1350-1358 May 4, 2000 Number 18).

The detection of a signal for Feline Infectious Peritonitis virus  in a human subject electromagnetically indicates that this virus usually found in animals can also be detected in humans.

The electromagnetic signal for Transforming Growth Factor was detected. TGF-beta is a cytokine involved in pulmonary fibrosis. This finding is important since it opens the possibility for investigating cytokine activity in the pathogenesis of disease by using an electromagnetic model.

Other important non-coherent conductance signals are from Candida rugosa and DDT. Candida rugosa is an emerging pathogen (Journal of Clinical Microbiology, October 2006, p. 3578-3582, Vol. 44, No. 10).

The DDT, a pesticide signal, has been biologically imprinted in his body water for 48 years, ever since he was 13 years old. At that time his father used DDT as a pesticide on his farm. DDT has a 30 year biological half-life.

The date of the imprinting the signal for Candida rugosa  in the electromagnetic matrix is more difficult to reconcile since it’s time of entry was determined to be 4171 years ago. If the cognitive method of dating time of detectability of a non-coherent conductance wave is valid, then, 4171 years is a process that began modifying electromagnetic structure a long time ago in his progenitors and is not one that had been acquired within his lifetime.

It has been my experience that DDT and Candida species are frequently identified together at the Small Intestine Detection Site, SI 1b and pose the possibility that there is a cause and effect relationship between the two. It is rare to detect Candida species without also detecting DDT at the same intestinal site. In this case the signal for Canada rugosa and DDT are detected at the Small Intestine Detection Site SI 1b.

Canada rugosa stands alone at the Pelvic Portion of the Sympathetic Nervous System Site, BL 32.  I have observed that the signals for Candida species are frequently detected at at Sympathetic Nerve detection sites. The Candida rugosa wave has caused  a destructive interference at the detection site for the Pelvic Portion of the Sympathetic Nerve and indicating an electromagnetic relationship with his erectile dysfunction.

Leishmania mexicana mexicana was found at the Autonomic Nerve allergy AL 1a. Leishmania mexicana mexicana is a hemoflagellate protozoan from Mexico, Guatemala, and Belise causing New World cutaneous leishmaniasis called chiclero’s ulcer, a single ulcerous lesion. The New World sandfly, Lutzomyia olmeca is the vector.

COMPLEXITY OF THE CONDUCTDED SIGNAL

 

The conductance wave is very complex. It is made up of all of the coherent and non-coherent waves coming from a common site of origin. Destructive and constructive interference of these waves results in the formation of a conducted wave that radiates to a site on the skin through the bodies extracellular matrix, interacting with numerous  electromagnetic fields along the way, eventually reaching detection sites on the skin through fairly well established electromagnetic channels. From an electromagnetic perspective, the electromagnetic fields in the sol-gel-electrolyte extracellular matrix make an electromagnetic matrix or an electromagnetic structure through which energy and information flow.

If there is no change in skin resistance at a detection site, then the conducted  wave is considered normal. This means that all of the waves arising from the Site of Origin are coherent.

A change in skin resistance indicates that there is an abnormality in one or more of the components of the waves that radiate in the conductance pathway. The result is a non-coherent conductance wave that results in a change in galvanic skin resistance and a drop in the reading of the ohm-meter.

ASSESSMENT

Borrelia venezuelensis– a new signal depicting a species change that has taken place in the Borrelia genus at the Skeletal Muscle Site SV 48. This change may be related to the polythetic nature of Borrelia reacting to a change in an internal electromagnetic environment from the signal induced solution of Borrelia burgdorferi, previously given. The resonance has increased from 3X to 32 X (From 150-180 cycles per second to 1600 cycles per second to 1920 cycles per second)

Dermanyssus pteronyssinus 3X-an Acaris house dust mite, affecting the Connective Tissue Site FI 1b.

Influenza Vaccine 1993-99 3X-a vaccine used for influenza prophylaxis still resonates after 30 years in the Connective Tissue Site FI 1b; Lymphatics of the Subcutaneous Fascia SK 1-4 and Finger Joints LI16 .

Loxosceles reclusa 3X- the Brown Recluse Spider

Ormidizo 3X-an anti-protozoal drug.

Pneumocystis carinii 3X- a latent yeast form activated in an immune compromised state is detected after 15 years at the Smooth Muscle Site SV 47.

Tetracaine- a dental anesthesia is detected in the Connective tissue site FI 1b. He has had a history of local dental anesthesia with a "caine"

Toxocara mystax: a common round worm of cat’s that is transmitted to kittens by eggs. In the kitten’s intestine the eggs release second-stage larvae that migrate to the heart, lungs trachea and gut.

Timeresurus elegans is a green colored pit viper of Eastern and Southeast Asia. A destructive interference signal for T. elegans has been present for 24 years. The subject does not recall having been bitten by T. elegans but has been bitten numerous times by another pit viper, the copperhead or Agkistrodon contortrix, common in the Great Dismal Swamp. There may be a portion of the Copperhead pit viper venom signal that is common electromagnetically with the signal of T. elegans venom making the signal less specific than the name would indicate. Sensitivity and specificity studies are needed to clarify this issue along with a sequence analysis of the pulse code of T. elegans encrypted in the computer.

PLAN: Continue the iterative process and look for change in SV47/SV48/FI1b/Ski-1/LI 16 and other detection sites.

 

THIRD ITERATION

12/5/02

INTERVAL HISTORY: He has observed a gradual toward improvement since his last iteration. Only during the winter did his Raynaud’s symptoms get worse, however, the atrophic skin ulcers have begun to heal. Skin tightness remained the same. Sleep disturbance, spaciness, abdominal bloating and gastro-esophageal reflux all responded completely. His musculo-skeletal complaints remained about the same.

ASSESSMENT

Borrelia turicata: a species of the genus Borrelia, a cause of relapsing fever in Mexico and southwest United States, transmitted by Ornithodoros turicata. The subject had innumerable (a bizillion of them as he says) tick bites including many in the tropical jungle of Mexico.

Xysmalobium undulatum: family Asclepiadaceae, with latex cells that contain triterpenes, alkaloids of indolphenanthroindolizidine and pyridine groups; cardenolides; cyanogenitic glycosides; saponins, tannins, and cycllitols. Used for diarrhea, abdominal cramps and topically for skin sores.

Trease and Evans Pharmacognosy 14th Edition WB Saunders 1989 page 47.

The code for Borrelia has changed to Borrelia turicata and is located at electromagnetic sites associated with muscle and sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, the myocardium, the arterioles and vasosonstrictive sympathetic nerves and the mesencephalon

RESPONSE

His initial response was a gradual improvement. Only during the winter did his Raynaud’s symptoms get worse, however the atrophic skin ulcers began to heal. Skin tightness remained the same. Sleep disturbance, spaciness, abdominal bloating gastro-esophageal reflux all responded completely. His musculo-skeletal complaints were about the same.

 

SIX YEAR FOLLOW UP

In an effort to determine his long term response, I called him on the phone. I had not seen him in over 5 years. He said that he was doing well. His skin is not nearly as tight as it used to be and he has minimal joint pain. His skin ulcers have healed but he still has a mild Raynaud phenomenom  He has no difficulty swallowing, but has an occasional esophageal reflux. He has a Left Bundle Branch Block and a dilated cardiomyopathy that was diagnosed by an  echo-cardiogram and he has traces of pulmonary fibrosis. He uses a treadmill without restriction. His exercise tolerance  is improving. Even though his thyroid function does not show any T 3 (levothyroxine) or TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) abnormality, low doses of thyroid glandular extract have been prescribed for clinical reasons.

When asked about the effectiveness of this technology, he responded,"I was sick with scleroderma for 12 years before I used your method of evaluation and treatment. My health began to improve immediately after I began taking the "drops" (imprinted solutions). From my standpoint this treatment is very effective!"

ASSESSMENT

This is a case of environmentally induced scleroderma.

Conventionally, the following environmental agents have been reported to be associated with scleroderma:

Infectious agents:

Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-may trigger a cascade of events in a genetically susceptible host leading to systemic sclerosis. Genetic factors alone cannot fully explain disease expression.

A total of 17 different non-coherent waves produced destructive interference of information and energy conductance resulting in the clinical state of scleroderma.

 

 CONCLUSION

Electromagnetically imprinted  solutions with signals from this subject modulated destructive interference and restored normal conductance. As a result of this modulation, electromagnetic destructive interfering signals were no longer identifiable.

Paralleling the iterative modulation of destructive interference by signal imprinted solutions, the subject’s clinical state improved.

In this case, an electromagnetic model was used to provide effective therapy.

Vincent J. Speckhart MD MD(H)

There may be controversy and, perhaps, even skepticism for trying to determine a time when an electromagnetic signal first becomes identifiable in the biological subject. By knowing this relationship, the clinician gains higher level of understanding of his case.

This is how I began to explore this subject.

After I had found a skin site that had an ohm-meter indicator drop that could be balanced by an electromagnetic signal, I wondered how long that signal was present in the electromagnetic structure. It was like asking a patient, “How long have you been sick?” I began to ponder within myself if it was a day, a week, a month, a year and so on. Once I began thinking of time, there was an indicator drop at the test site. I repeatedly tested the site with the same signal that produced the indicator balance, thinking of different times as I tested. I observed that there was a change in galvanic skin resistance when I thought a “time” that was relevant to the subject being tested.

I could sense that there was concern about being tested repeatedly in one place without anything being said, so I decided to ask the same question out loud so as to the include the one being tested in the process. I audibly asked the question: “When did this signal enter your bio-field? Was it today, within the past week, the past month, within the past year, the past 10 years, twenty years, thirty years etc?.” If the answer was within the past week, I divided the week and asked whether it was one day ago, two days ago up to seven days. I used similar method of inquiry for weeks, months and years.

In most cases patients were amazed when a specific time was mentioned! The most frequently asked question was “How did you know that?”

My response: “We live in a three-dimensional space-time creation. All information is associated with time. How you, as a complex biological system, convert that information into changes in skin resistance at a detection site is unknown. Perhaps there are experts in the field of biological energy who can explain this phenomenon, but it correlates with your recollection of a circumstance that could have given rise to that signal”.

This technique is a way for establishing the time at which a non-coherent wave became detectable during a patient’s lifetime and is useful in establishing chronology of electromagnetic events, if the time of detection can be validated by the patient. If the time extends beyond the patients life time, it is less reliable because of a lack of confirmation by the progenitor, but it is still useful in establishing the probable time for the genesis of trans-generational information.

Another unexplainable skin response occurs when the question is asked if the code came from the maternal or paternal side. In my experience distinguishing lineage becomes less clear cut the further back one goes into the lineage.

Response of galvanic skin to questions of time, whether in this generation or trans-generational, do not have to be verbalized in order to occur. They occur because of cognitive input (thought) of the operator and/or the memory of the subject. On the other hand, cognitive input does not affect encrypted pulsed codes. They are computer generated and not innate in either the operator or the subject.

One of the redeeming and even amusing effects of detecting time is when either syphilis or gonorrhea is detected. One can sense the relief of tension between spouses when it is discerned that the signal came from “great-grand father on the maternal side 130 years ago” and not the spouse. Phew! Talk about the sins of the father being vested upon the children to the third and fourth generation. So there is a biblical and a practical side to this matter as well.

One of the criticisms of this type of analysis is that it has not proven statistically. That is true. It is just an observation but it is good observation if it adds clarity to ones understanding of the case.

For example, if the time of entry of the signal into the biofield is longer then the subjects lifetime, the signal takes on the nature of a miasm and imputes a different character to the signal than one acquired during the subjects lifetime.

Adage: Last signal in, first signal out.

Interpretation of the adage:

Signals that have been present for a long period of time have been hidden by newly acquired destructive interference signals. The older signals cannot be recognized until the more recent destructive interferences has been removed during the iterative process, the so called ‘Peeling of the Onion’ effect.

Another example: In an analysis of Kuru, a neurodegenerative prion disease in New Guinea, I found that the time for signals from human T-lymphotrophic viruses always indicated a time of 20-30 years before the time for the prion signal. This suggests that Kuru develops as a result of a slow virus infection. There is a long latent period between the signal for the virus infection and the signal for Kuru.

MIASM CODES

The concept of a miasm developed prior to an understanding of microbes as a cause of disease.

The word miasm was first used by Hippocrates as a “fault or a taint” in water or air as a cause for the transmission for certain diseases.

Miasms described by Hahnemann are infectious principles or agents that are passed from one generation to another. Transmission is vertical, from parent to child, not lateral as in contagion such as in measles. He described two broad categories of miasms: venereal and non-venereal. In the venereal category Hahnemann listed fig wart and chancre. In the non-venereal category he included psora or “itch” and tuberculinum. We now classify fig wort as Condyloma accuminata, a growth associated with the Human Papilloma Virus; chancre is due to Treponema pallidum or syphilis. Psora, obtained from fluid from a scabies cyst is associated with the Sarcoptes scabiei, the acarus mite; tuberculinum is associated with Mycobacteria.

There are other miasmatic agents than those described by Hahnemann. These include various bacteria, some viruses and fungi, and non-infectious agents like drugs, chemicals and biologicals. Any agent that can be identified in successive generations in which direct exposure can be ruled out should be considered a “miasm” from an electrodermal standpoint.

An example of vertical transmission is congenital syphilis. In this case one of the parents is infected with either a classical spirochete or or a variant cell wall deficient form (CWD) of it.

This commonly undetectable variant of Treponema pallidum may also cross the placenta to produce an attenuated form of syphilis, giving a clinical picture of a syphilitic miasm rather than a classical picture of congenital syphilis. I will discuss the concept of a polythetic class of bacteria below. In my database, the signal for syphilis is the most frequent and widespread of all the signals. Almost none of those tested had a history of being diagnosed with syphilis. One of the interesting features of syphilis is that it is very frequently difficult to see a spirochete in a microscopic slide from a chancre, the skin lesion of syphilis. The same is true for another spirochete, Borrella burgdorferi. It is rare to find a spirochete in the area of erythema (bull’s eye) or from draining lymph nodes in a case of Lyme disease. Morphologic changes occur in both spirochetes making their spiral configuration unrecognizable by microscopy. They become cell wall deficient.

There are three types of cells:

Cells that classically have an intact cell wall: coccus, bacillus or spirillum or filament

Cells that have complete or partial absence of a cell wall (CWD). They form large budding yeast-like forms, discharging cysts, budding or branching filamnents, balloons with sprouting rhizoids, syncitia or sheets.

Cells with no cell wall: protoplasts. These cells have a different DNA than the CWD’s without a cell wall.

CELL WALL DEFICIENT FORMS (CWD)

Native bacteria and fungi have an intact cell walls but they may become cell wall deficient (CWD) when the cell wall is partially or completely removed.

Cell wall deficient forms are also known as L-Forms” (Lister Institute) named by Kleineberger-Nobel; “L-phase” or “Spheroplasts”. Most bacteria and many fungi can be induced to become cell wall deficient by changing their microenvironment, such as the oxygen content in which they are growing, temperature, pH, and electrolyte concentrations, types of amino acids and by bacteriocins (toxic molecules produced by some bacteria) and by exposure to chemical toxins including antibiotics.

Once bacteria or fungi are transformed into CWD’s their morphology, metabolism, and staining characteristics are changed. Even the pathogenicity of the organism may be changed.

In this form the organism may not be recognizable by the usual methods of detection. They may form slender branching filaments with buds of various sizes and locations or they may form sheets.

Colony appearance, sensitivity to penicillin, nutrient requirements and biochemical activities vary from species to species.

As mentioned before,two microbes that readily transform into cell wall deficient forms are the spirochetes Treponema pailidum and Borrelia burgdorferi, the causes for syphilis and Lyme borreliosis respectively. Instead of spirochetes being identified in a chancre of syphilis or in the skin or the lymph nodes of borreliosis, granular structures, mycelia or large bodies are found. With special techniques these unusual structures may be made to revert to their parental spirochete form.

Reversion can also take place naturally, but it is rarely a complete reversion.

The recognition that bacteria can be transformed into cell wall deficient forms and that they may revert to their parental forms implies that bacteria may have more than one morphologic form-they are pleomorphic .They undergo developmental changes and adapt to environmental changes Only in one stage is the organism monomorphic, a classic rod, coccus, or spirillum.

Each of the pleomorphic forms may be produce a disease that may or may not be exactly the same as that of the parent organism.¹

Each pleomorphic cell wall deficient forms belong to a Polythetic Class, a category or class that is defined in terms of a broad set of criteria. One part of the set is neither necessary nor sufficient to define the entire set. Each member of the category must possess a certain minimal number of defining characteristics, but none of the features has to be found in each member of the category.

See a graphic illustration of a polythetic class in my journal entry on Taxonomy of viruses and other critters-fuzzy sets and hazy boundaries by van Ragenmortel.² He illustrates the polythetic nature of viruses and demonstrates that viruses are more diverse than one would think by depending on morphology alone. This concept helped me to understand why we see changing electromagnetic changes in signals for species of microbes during sequential testing while signals for the genus of the organism remain the same. With the influenza virus there are “shifts” and “drifts in the type of flu that occurs from year to year implying a developmental or an environmental adaptation of this polythetic virus. See my log, An Overview of Influenza.

ELECTROMAGNETIC IMPRINTING

Electromagnetic imprinted information in biological water of the parent is another way of transferring information from one generation to the next.

There are two types of imprinting, one is biological, and the other is computer based. In the first case, organisms living in a host have electromagnetic fields (auras) that extend into the surrounding host structures producing an electromagnetic field effect in those structures.

A good example is the effect that Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) has on its host. This helminth produces intense pruritis ani (anal itching) in children. Generally, in adolescence and in adulthood, the pinworm is no longer present but, in some instances, the pruritis persists. This implies that there was a residual effect from the pinworm that causes itching in the tissue adjacent to its nesting site. Since all tissue contains water, there is a strong probability that the electromagnetic field of the pinworm has been imprinted in the water of the mucosa, the fibrous connective tissue or in the nerves of the surrounding area. This may be an electromagnetically induced cause of the pruritis even though the pinworm is no longer there. The possibility that the pruritis is an electro magnetic effect is strengthened by the relief of the symptoms of pruritis after an electromagnetically induced solution of Enterobius vermicularis is applied to the tongue.

A homeopathic remedy made from Enterobius vermicularis is another way to treat this type of pruritis. It is called isopathy because it is made from the helminth Enterobius vermicularis. This isonosode has a signal equal to Enterobius vermicularis, the cause of the pruritis. The homeopathic iso-nosode is an equilium of Enterobius vermicularis.

The electromagnetically imprinted signal acts like the signal for native Enterobius vermicularis. Equiliums are not the same as Hahnemann’s similimums. Similimums are expressions of the totality of symptoms that are similar to the disease for which it was being used to treat. Electromagnetically the signal for a similimum signal can also be detected at sites expressed by the disease.

Occasionally, miasms can be detected at TW 20, the Hypothamic Detection Site. Since they have a conductance effect at the Hypothalamus Site, they exhibit a constitutional effects.

Typically, Constitutional signals are found at TW 20 although I had a case of thyroid carcinoma that resolved with Natrum Muriaticum when tested at TW 20 the hypothalamic gland site and at the Thyroid Gland Site ST 10. She had been humiliated and falsely accused of cheating in school as a child and had low personal esteem and depression ever since. The electromagnetic signal for Natrum Muriaticum matched the Constitutional state of  Natrum Muriaticum  which is homeopathically used for depression and low personal esteem.

Miasms have been viewed as microbial in nature but, in my view, they may be non-microbial too. Drugs and other chemicals can be detected vertically or trans-generationally by electrodermal means.

As an example, it is not uncommon to identify a code for cocaine in children whose parents used cocaine, even though the children were not exposed.

Codes for cocaine and other recreational drugs are located at the same sites as their parents, GB 17, the Reticular Formation Site; NV 1—1, the Neurotransmitter Site, and SV 52, the Acetylcholine Receptor Site. This transfer of information from parent to the child is a biological transfer, most likely in body water of seminal fluid or vaginal fluid, spermatozoa or ova.

Influenza

Strains of viruses causing influenza:

Type A

Isolated from animals (fowl, swine, horses, etc.)

The cause of all pandemics

Type B

Isolated from humans

Low mortality rate

The cause of illness in the very young

Type C

Isolated from humans

A strain not implicated in epidemic disease

Characteristics of the Influenza virus:

Surface antigens

Hemagglutinin (H)

Subtypes (H1 to H 12)

Binds to red cell and to virus on the host cells

Neuraminidase (N)

Subtypes (N1 to N 9)

Releases newly grown viruses

Allows viruses to spread

A core

Containing the genetic material, ribonucleic acid, RNA

As eight separate genetic fragments

The eight genes allow the virus to mutate easily, thereby changing the appearance of the surface antigens.

A Minor mutation causes a surface “antigenic drift” in H1, H2 or H3 and/or in N1 and N2.

This type of mutated virus is transmitted person to person

A portion of immunity is retained from one drift to another

Partial immunity may be transferred year to year.

The result is an “ordinary flu epidemic”

A Major mutation causes a great change in surface antigens, an “antigen shift”.

It is caused by an individual who contracts flu from a source in which there was a viral exchange between two different species such as between a swine and fowl.

The result is the creation of an entirely new hybrid antigen, an antigen shift. It is a new strain that has no worldwide immunity.

All pandemics are caused by antigen shifts.

ELECTROMAGNETIC TRANSFER OF FREQUENCIES FROM THE COMPUTER TO SOLUTIONS

It has been observed that signals in the computer that restore conductance during the detection process can be transferred to water, or more typically, a 20 percent water/ alcohol solution, by means of an electromagnetic induction coil. Once made, the electromagnetically induced solution may be substituted for the computer-generated signal during testing. An ohm-meter drop, indicating a drop of galvanic skin conductance, is stabilized either by the computer-generated signal or by the induced solution. The induced solution may be held in the hand of the subject tested or it may be placed on a test plate that is connected in a series loop comprised of the probe, the conductance measurement unit, and the computer system.

THE ELECTROMAGNETIC TRANSDUCTION APPARATUS

The electromagnetic transduction apparatus consists of an electrical coil that is driven by signals generated within the computer circuitry. The computer signals are transduced by the coil into a magnetic induction wave pattern that interacts with the water or water/alcohol solution. (The details of this transduced interaction are beyond the scope of this paper, and are a topic of continuing study.) The induction process imposes an electromagnetic change in the water, whereby the signal from the computer is “imprinted” onto the solution.

The coil surrounds a well into which is placed a dropper bottle containing the water/alcohol solution. A current is passed through the coil for one minute. (The optimal time needed for the induction process has not established. In my practice, a time of one minute has worked effectively.) The electromagnetic change in the exposed solution is such that it may be substituted for the signal generated by the computer itself. Information is thus transferred from the induction coil to the solution.

TRANSFER OF INFORMATION FROM ELECTROMAGNETICALLY TRANSDUCED SOLUTIONS TO THE TEST SUBJECT

There is yet another transfer of information that is needed. Information must be transferred from the electromagnetically induced solution to the subject being tested. Fortunately, biological systems are water-based, thus providing for easy contact with the electromagnetically-imprinted water/alcohol solution. In practice, it is convenient to topically apply the solution to the mucous membrane surface of the mouth, such as the tongue or buccal mucosa. The solution may even be applied topically to the skin, but in this case, there is a greater variability of response because of different areas of dryness or thickness of the skin.

In any event, the electromagnetic effect is immediate. Radiating signals follow conductance pathways depending on constructive or destructive interference. Remember, these are electromagnetic effects, not drug or chemical effects. There are no drugs to process, no toxic drug effects, and no biological energy needed to convert drugs to active forms. The Michaelis-Menton equation for enzymes-catalyzed reactions does not apply. There is no substrate for enzymes to form intermediates or products. Transduced and imprinted digitized codes cannot be viewed as pharmacological substances. Quantitative analysis cannot detect any substance in the electromagnetic solutions except the alcohol used as a preservative.

The induced signals have a radiant effect that is akin to the effect of the sun in producing an increase of Vitamin D₃ by ultraviolet B radiation, or the effect of ultraviolet frequencies responsible for melanin production in tanning. These latter radiations are often divided into the UVA (315 to 400nm wavelength) and UVB (280 to 315nm wavelength). Host reactions are responses to radiation sources and are good example of the interaction between electromagnetic radiations and biochemicals.

A major difficulty in understanding the difference between electromagnetic signals and chemicals is in the name given to signals in plain language. These names were applied to codes digitally converted from substances in their analog form by an electromagnetic process of analog-to-digital conversion. Names are given for the purpose of identity. Although the name implies a physical substance, it is in actuality an electromagnetic wave.

Electrical outputs from electrodermal devices are generally considered to have an insignificant health risk by device regulators

Electromagnetically induced solutions balance the ohm-meter at the detection sites. They correct the imbalance that is manifested by the indicator drop in the first place. For example, if there is an indicator drop at Circulation 7b, the Lymphatic System detection site, and if it is balanced by Methyl mercury 3X, then Methyl mercury would be considered a frequency of identity, and 3X would be considered a potency or energy state of Methyl mercury.

It has been observed, that mucous membrane contact of the ohm-meter balancing solutions will result in either an immediate elimination of the ohm-meter drop or elimination after a sequential rise in the number of potencies. Clinical effects can be observed paralleling the electromagnetic effects.

CONSTITUTIONAL CODES

The word Constitutional has a homeopathic derivation. It refers to homeopathic remedies that are prescribed based on the personality of the individual rather than just the totality of symptoms as described by Hahnemann. The whole personality is taken into account – moods, fears, temperament, likes, dislikes, lifestyle and reactions to stress.

Constitutionals states represent a global picture of the individual-spirit, soul and body.

Electrodermally, constitutional codes are derived from homeopathic Constitutional remedies. The most common site to detect Constitutional codes is at the Hypothalamic site TW 20.

Functions of the hypothalamus are many, ranging from heat loss to heat conservation, thirst, satiety, water balance, hunger, milk ejection and uterine contraction, circadian rhythms, endocrine activity, emotions, sleep cycles, recent memory, emotions including rage, and autonomic nerve function with both sympathomimetic and parasympathomimetic activity. Like the Constitutional remedies, the Hypothalamus has a wide range of expression.

Homeopathic constitutional remedies correct abnormal constitutional traits that are detected by the process of repertorization.

The following is a list of Constitutional signals detected by me during the preparation of my manuscript for An Electrodermal Analysis of Biological Conductance, (there are others). A brief description of traits associated with each constitutional state is given as described in various homeopathic repertories.

The description of the traits is based on the toxic effects these substances had on the persons involved in the toxicity experiments, also known as provings. .According to homeopathic theory, a toxic sign or symptom developing during a proving was an indication for a homeopathic remedy for one presenting with a similar sign or symptom, or smiilimum.

As an example, for someone with red, burning eyes with profuse lachrymation, Allium Cepa (Red Onion) is the indicated homeopathic remedy. I’ve proven Allium Cepa many times when I cut onions.

Constitutional codes detected at the Hypothalamic Site, TW 20, corrects abnormal conductance at this site thereby reflecting hypothalamic dysfunction as well.

In electrodermal profile development Constitutional codes should be determined first or at least early in the iterative process. In my experience the case will move to completion much more rapidly if you correct abnormalities at this site early in your analysis.

OUTLINE OF CONSTITUTIONAL CODES

Alumina: defines a slowing of neural function in the peripheral and central nervous system with: constipation, confusion, vagueness, mental impairment and dementia.

Argentum Nitricum: involves the loss of control of neural, mental and emotional function leading to mental aberrations and a strange personality.

Arsenicum Album: defines mental and emotional conditions based on insecurity: anxiety about health, fear of death, dependency upon others for support, fear of poverty, compulsiveness to control personal environment in order to be secure, despair in being unable to control fear.

Bryonia: a state of disturbed motor function. There is aggravation by motion. Even mentally they do not want to be disturbed.

Calcarea Carbonica: a ubiquitous polycrest, common to most of the population in a variety of conditions, mainly those relating to fears and phobias; with concerns about work and responsibility.

Calcarea Phosphorica: a mental state of deep-seated discontent.

Causticum: a polycrest with two main areas of involvement-the nervous system with mental dullness and forgetfulness and connective tissue with progressive debility and stiffness.

Graphities: seen in those who are heavy-set, thick-skinned, slow thinking, simple, and earthy with mental fogginess and dullness.

Hepar Sulfuris Calcareum: a state of being oversensitive to external stimuli, such as, the weather, noise, light, chemicals and drafts.

Lachesis: a state of intense inner response to stimulation leading to sexual excitation, jealously, loquacity, and rapid mental processing.

Lycopodium: a state characterized by fears and phobias do to marked feelings of inferiority.

Magnesia Carbonica: A state characterized by fatigue, weakness and failure to thrive.

Natrum Muriaticum: a complex psychological state associated with deep grief and sorrow.

Nux Vomica: associated with the “conqueror”-an ambitious, competitive, aggressive, arrogant and angry personality.

Phosphorus: A personality with a non-critical sense of self-conduct; no boundaries; not centered; “flighty”.

Platina: an egocentric, self-absorbed personality, prone to promiscuous sexual excesses.

Pulsatilla: “the female principle”, soft, shy in need of self-assurance, weeps easily.

Sepia: a state characterized by stasis, a lack of a dynamic internal interaction especially in sexual and hormonal functions.

Silica: defective metabolism with physical and mental weakness and low stamina.

Stramonium: a state of convulsive violence in thought and act, pointing to an imbalance and fragility of the nervous system.

Sulfur: a state of “the inspired ego” -ambitious, intellectual and detached (sloppy).

From the above description it is clear that there are physical, mental, emotional and volitional issues that involve conductance at the TW20 site.

TW 20 is but one site that relates to electromagnetic abnormalities in the physical mental and emotional sphere. Currently the relationship between TW 20 and the constitutional state is inferred, but probably accurate. For further proof of a valid relationship sensitivity and specificity studies will be needed.

NUX VOMICA

Recently, news reports focused on a state governor who was forced to resign because of his alleged involvement with prostitution. Press reports characterized him as being aggressive, arrogant, vindictive, single minded, not listening to his advisers, threatening and sexually self indulgent over a span of several years.

In 1995 Phillip M. Bailey M,D., a homeopathic physician, wrote an excellent book called Homeopathic Psychology in which he characterized various psychological types of individuals. One of the purposes of his publication was to provide homeopaths with a profile of symptoms and characteristics for use in prescribing homeopathic remedies. For those unfamiliar with homeopathy, prescribing is based on the totality of symptoms. One of the chapters dealt with the Constitutional Remedy-Vux Vomica. I have outlined the chapter for your easy review. If a homeopath would recognize any of the characteristics listed below he would consider prescribing homeopathic Nux Vomica with the anticipated outcome of decreasing destructive behavior and for  gaining more self control.

A Constitutional Remedy refers to a homeopathic remedy that describes the whole personality of the individual – moods, fears, temperament, likes and dislikes, life style and reactions to stress.

Constitutionals represent a global picture of the individual much like the hypothalamus directs many functions of the body such as  heat loss, heat conservation, thirst, satiety, water balance, hunger, milk ejection and uterine contraction, circadian rhythms, endocrine activity, emotions, sleep cycles, recent memory, emotions including rage, and autonomic nerve function with both sympathomimetic and parasympathomimetic activity.

Electrodermally, Constitutional codes are derived from homeopathic Constitutional remedies. In my experience most constitutional codes can be detected at the Hypothalamic site-TW 20.

From a practical standpoint, in a case like this, if you  stimulate the Hypothalamic site, TW 20 and detect from the Triple Warmer Main Detection TW 1b, you would probably get abnormal skin resistance that would be corrected with Nux Vomica.

This method of characterizing  psychological types is rapid and precise.
