Using Quantum Medicine to Unravel Stressors That Provoke Carcinogenesis
By Stephen Linsteadt, NHD. and Jorge Llamas, M.D.

Quantum physics when applied to the study of biological processes is known as biophysics. Biophysics studies the living cell as a whole system with electrical fields that interrelate and penetrate the entire organism.1 Carcinogenesis occurs when healthy bioelectrical fields are transformed. Quantum Medicine applies quantum physics theories to unravel the stressors that cause disruptions within bioelectrical fields.

Quantum Physics and Biological Processes

Subatomic particles, photons, protons, and electrons, etc., have the dual characteristic of existing as both particles and wave forms. Subatomic particles vibrate at different rates or frequencies based in part on changes in temperature and thermodynamics. In their wave form state, quantum particles emit a frequency vibration that extends indefinitely. In this state, subatomic particles are present in all space in what is known as superposition. In the superposition state, they are also in contact with every other subatomic particle in the universe. This interconnection provides a superhighway of information transfer between all of the building blocks of our universe, including our own body.

This interconnected web of energy acts like a holographic plate from which our physical body takes shape. Our cells are also connected to this sea of subatomic energy. It is known that cells receive, store, and emit quantum packets of light - photons (Popp). From a biological standpoint the term "bio-photon" is more appropriate. Electrons also absorb and emit photons, which is why the electron rich DNA is a storage house for biophotons.2 It is now thought that the unique vibratory rate of each biophoton is what activates specific gene sequencing through what is known as resonance. Resonance is the vibration that is specific to the frequency oscillations generated by all kinetic forms of energy. A struck guitar string, for example, will resonate at a specific frequency. The vibratory energy of that specific frequency will start in motion a nearby string that is tuned to the same frequency. Resonance, therefore, is able to communicate and transmit frequency information from one guitar string to another. In the same way the vibratory energy of biophotons are able to induce responses in other biophotons - within the same cell and without to neighboring cells - in fact, throughout the entire organism.

The cell acts as the interface between the quantum superposition state and the particle state. In the superposition wave form state all of the possibilities of physical manifestation are present. It is the quantum measuring apparatus of the cell that forces the collapse of the superposition state into the particle state. DNA, RNA, ribosomes, and mitochondria are all proton, electron and photon level apparatuses.3 Photons have the ability to knock electrons out of their atomic and molecular orbits. They are able to direct electrons to where they are needed to run metabolic processes. Enzymes capture and transfer electrons and protons along a path to various protein molecules in order to activate each protein's specific function. In the quantum world, all of the exponential numbers of amino acid combinations exist simultaneously. It is the interface at the enzyme level between the quantum realm and the physical that accounts for how enzymes can single out the exact targeted amino acid chain from the infinite possibilities that is needed at the precise needed moment.

Dr. Stuart Hameroff has suggested that the microtubules of the human cell, which move in mysterious, rhythmic ways - dissolving and reappearing, yet structurally active in the contractile mechanism of the cell membrane - should be considered as bio-resonators. He points out that their outer layer is translucent and light refractive, admitting ultraviolet light into the tube. Once inside the tube, this light (photons) could be resonantly amplified by the microtubule and be transmitted as an active regulatory factor in all cellular processes.4

Photons are what make up the electromagnetic field induced by electron flow through closed circuits. Bjorn Nordenstrum and Robert O'Becker have both demonstrated that the body possesses closed bioelectric circuits. The flow of electrons through these circuits produces an electromagnetic field. Photons are what make up the electromagnetic radiation of electrons. Just as flowing electrons produce an electromagnetic field, electromagnetic fields are also able to induce electron flow through closed circuits. This means that there is a constant interchange of electrons and photons within the body where one system has direct influence over the other. The flow of biophotons and electrons in the body provides the micro-electric currents that are responsible for all of our biochemical processes. All metabolic functions involve a flow and transport of electrons. The orchestration of these energetic processes are directed by the resonant signaling of biophotons and explains the many metabolic processes that occur at lightning speed, well beyond what can be accounted for by simple chemical interactions.

Bio-resonance provides the mechanism for electron communication and interaction that is the catalyst for all biochemical processes. Resonant frequencies travel through the body along cell membranes, through bi-polar water molecule chains, along protein chains, through the electrolyte rich connective tissue reaching every nook and corner of the body. The communication pathways are the critical junctions in determining the quality of information transfer. Alfred Pischinger was one of the first scientists to fully study and explain the importance of the connective tissue, which he referred to as the "Ground Regulation System," or "Extracellular Matrix."

The Ground Regulation System (GRS) connects all cells in the body through a mesh of high-polymer sugar-protein complexes, mostly proteoglycans (PGs) and structural glycoproteins like collagen and elastin (fig. 1). The transfer of nutrients and oxygen from the arteries to the cell depends on the extracellular fluid. Nerve supply to the cell is also seen via terminal autonomic axons with their blind endings in the extracellular matrix. Cellular waste is carried away from the cell via the extracellular fluid and transported to capillaries and lymph vessels. This sponge-like matrix also stores toxins and serves as a buffer to prevent damage to vital tissues. A heavy onslaught of toxins can be stored in the matrix and then released at a rate that the detoxification organs can handle. This reduces the stress on the liver and kidneys as well as toxin-sensitive tissues such as the thyroid, pancreas, and nervous system.5

Fig. 1

The extracellular matrix is a redox system. The generation of energy from oxygen through ATP synthesis creates an excess in extracellular electrons and protons in the form of oxygen and hydroxyl radicals. The energy released in antioxidative enzymatic processes can be taken up by the water-sugar polymers of the extracellular matrix.6 The resulting heat is stored and used for the further stimulation of biological processes and homeostasis is thereby preserved.

The extracellular matrix can be damaged by an overburdening of toxins from the environment and a lack of supportive nutrients. In both cases, the primary culprit is free radical oxidation and chronic inflammation issues. The toxin storage capacity of the extracellular matrix becomes exhausted and the buffering systems begin to fail. Toxins become impregnated in the tissue, the organs become damaged and cellular metabolic processes become altered.

Once the extracellular matrix is compromised, the transmission of intercellular information is disrupted. Intracellular communication depends on coherent biophoton resonance reaching target sites throughout the body. The accumulation of toxins within the extracellular matrix creates a chaotic interference pattern that derails biophoton resonance transmission at the level of DNA.

Fortunately, the body uses a multi-channel system for sending information signals. The body conducts signals through nerve paths, protein chains of the tissue and through the meridian channels. Just as the various organs and tissues of the body have their own unique resonant oscillation pattern, the meridian system has its own unique frequency signature.

Quantum Level Stressors That Provoke Carcinogenesis

Free electron "radicals" can travel through lead. They easily pierce through cell membranes and can break off sections of DNA strands. Prolonged exposure can do great damage to genes, which in turn derails DNA communication, RNA transcription, enzymatic processes, as well as mitochondrial respiration mechanisms. The P-53 gene, which is very sensitive to redox status, can become damaged or inactivated and fail in its function of signaling the cell to repair itself or to self-destruct. In short, rogue electrons create rapid degeneration at the cellular level leading to genetic mutation and provokes carcinogenesis.

A large number of chemicals and external electromagnetic fields also have the capability of changing the internal and external environment of cells and can lead to the polarization of tissue.7 Once a cell becomes genetically damaged its electrical polarity potential changes significantly.8 The shift from a high negative potential to a very low negative potential causes the cell to lose contact with the overall regulatory system. Cellular signaling via HCM molecules and biophoton resonance becomes weakened. The cell become energetically stagnant and biophoton emissions become chaotic. The cell loses its specific resonance signature and de-differentiates and becomes neo-plastic. These de-differentiated cells become embryonic and as such will grow uncontrollably.

Through Dr. Robert O. Becker's work we find the extraordinary possibility of cellular regeneration. Becker has demonstrated that salamanders are able to re-grow missing limbs through changes in polarity at the tissue edge of the missing limb. Becker has further demonstrated that the presence of tissue cells at the sight of injury repair are actually from mesenchyme cells that have transformed into needed tissue cells. This is understandable when one considers that the body is a hologram, where every cell and indeed every biophoton contains all the necessary information of the whole organism. The template for the whole organism lies within the energetic blueprint. With the right polarity applied to the end of a severed limb regeneration is possible as molecules and cells follow the template of the energetic blueprint.

Becker explains the regeneration process by cell dedifferentiation followed by redifferentiation. Dedifferentiation of cells, for example, means that a red blood cell can lose its unique function of being a red blood cell and can redifferentiate or transform itself into a muscle cell, a nerve cell or a connective tissue cell (fig. 2). It is the biophoton-field of energy that provides the vibratory frequency that distinguishes one type of cell from another. Dedifferentiation and redifferentiation are cellular responses to changes in biophoton-field resonant patterns on the molecular level.

Kikuo Chishima, Professor of the Nagoya Commercial University, Japan, found that under pathological conditions erythrocytes show transitions into cancer cells, neoplasmic cells, all kinds of cellular elements in inflammatory regions, even into pus, and into the tissue elements of regeneration or wound healing.9 According to Chishima, erythrocytes generally show no signs of differentiating into other kinds of cells while they are circulating in living blood vessels, but when they are physiologically, or pathologically extravasated into interstitial spaces of living tissue where the circulation of blood is stagnated or stopped, they begin to differentiate into other kinds of cells according to their environment or local vibratory resonance.

This is the Impregnation Phase according to Dr. Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg's homotoxicology model. Degeneration quickly follows as stagnation causes oxygen depravation and the cell's oxygen dependent metabolism mutates into one of anaerobic glucose dependent energy production (glycolysis). Alterations in cellular enzymes and genetic damage is the beginning of the Neoplasm Stage according to Reckeweg. It is here, at the level of the ECM, where toxin induced stagnation causes normal cells to loose their specific biophoton resonance and dedifferentiate into embryonic cells. These embryonic cells have no specific frequency oscillation that provides them with functional instructions. Their membranes don't line up in the normal, specific ways, and they form a jumbled mass instead of useful architecture.10

The ability of some animals to regenerate missing limbs is dependent upon the amount of negatively charged electrons they are able to produce at the site of injury. The accumulation of negative charge at a particular location requires that there is a flow of current, which implies the presence of a closed electrical circuit. All electrical currents generate a magnetic field around themselves, which convey information in its fluctuations. Electromagnetic radiation is made up of photons. Photons, or rather biophotons, are able to induce a current that sets electrons in motion. If it is a lack of biophoton communication that provokes carcinogenesis, then the ability to accumulate biophotons at the site of malignancy can be the key to reversing the process. In "The Body Electric," Becker points out that those animals that regenerate best are least susceptible to cancer. He cites studies by G. Andres and M. Rose that proved that these internal cellular regeneration guidance systems could also control cancer. The key to regeneration lies in the organisms ability to quickly generate negative electrical potential at the site of injury (fig. 3).

Fig. 3 - The Body Electric, Becker

Cancer cells have a very low potential of -10 mV, compared to normal cells (fig. 4).

Fig. 4 - Membrane Potential in mV (Data from Bingelli and Weinstein 1986)

At this level cancer cells are electrobiologically inert. Dr. Becker hypothesises that cancer cells are stuck in a state of incomplete dedifferentiation and the application of small negative currents causes a complete dedifferentiation to occur. Once the cells are completely dedifferentiated normal processes in the body turn them into healthy mature cells.11 The application of low levels of DC current into low energy cancer cells has been demonstrated by both Dr. Rudolph Pekar and Dr. Bjorn Nordenstrom to cause redifferentiation of human cancer cells into normal cells.

When the brain reacts to any stimulus, it produces a wave of electrical activity.12 Mental processes can influence electrical properties as seen in polarity reversal in hypnosis and anesthesia. Every mental command, every thought, every feeling, conducts bioelectrical pulses to every cell in the body.

Stress and Negative Emotions

Stress and negative emotions can cause an acute stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system leading to a cascade of hormonal responses that can also effect changes in cellular polarity. Clinical experience reveals the presence of an unresolved emotional issue behind the majority of cancer cases. In addition to employing Quantum Medicine protocols to the determination of the stressors that provoke carcinogenesis, the presence of unresolved emotional traumas and subconscious self-sabotaging patterns must also be identified.

Chloe Faith Wordsworth developed a system called Holographic Repatterning, that utilizes bio-kinesiology to access and release emotional trauma patterns in the body. Holographic Repatterning is a very effective method for quickly identifying emotional and psychological stressors.13 The way we react to an event is recorded in our molecular matrix. If each cell contains all of the information for the whole organism, then our experiences, good or bad, are also recorded on a cellular level. Those experiences that we perceived as life threatening, where we were not able to resolve the conflict or dissipate the energy of it, may continue to resonate within the memory banks of the crystalline and water molecule matrix. The matrix memory can alter our behavior or our belief about ourselves as a result of the earlier, traumatic experience. These feelings all have a resonant frequency signature that continue to vibrate throughout our being. This energetic disturbance can upset neurohormonal pathways in our body, constrict the energetic flow to cells and upset DNA signaling.

The area of the body that has been energetically weakened by an emotional experience or is harboring the resonance of a negative emotion is often the same area found to be energetically stagnant, prone to toxin accumulation, and the site of malignancy.

Animals functioning primarily from the reptilian brain response to trauma are able to reset their sympathetic nervous systems almost immediately. Higher mammals with developed limbic processing respond to stress or trauma with an integrated social response. They tend to travel in groups and will alert and protect each other. They also resolve the fight, flight or freeze response within a short period of time.

Humans containing the cerebral cortex impose logic into the alarm response. Instead of reacting instinctually to a stressful or threatening situation we stop to ponder the age old question, "why me?" We are the only species that relives the situation in our minds over and over again (fig. 5).14

Fig. 5

Replaying the unresolved emotional conflict over and over in our minds generates an outflow of frequency vibrations throughout our body. Various organs are sensitive to specific emotional vibrations and will "resonate" in response to these thoughts. For example, when thoughts of anger are dominant it is the liver that becomes over activated and loses coherence. Strangely enough, it is not always the liver that displays the symptoms of this stress. Through the Chinese system of the Five Elements it can be seen that the stress to the liver, which is within the Wood Element, places an energetic stress on the Fire Element. Stress to the Fire Element may show up symptomatically as gastrointestinal complaints (fig. 6).

This points to the need for careful evaluation of the symptoms and their underlying causes. Without addressing the underlying unresolved issue of anger from the example above any therapeutic work done around the gastrointestinal complaints will only provide short-term relief at best.

Quantum Medicine protocols that include techniques for identifying and resolving these underlying emotional stressors provides a true body-mind healing system.

Unraveling the Stressors Behind Carcinogenesis

Clinical experience reveals several primary stressors that provoke carcinogenesis:

Lousy Diet
Stress and Emotional Upsets
Pathogenic Load
Environmental Toxins
Geopathic Stress and Radiation Exposure

These factors all contribute to a loss of coherent biophoton communication. A lousy diet in no way diminishes the horrific problems we are facing from environmental toxins and exposure to low level environmental frequencies (ELF), both natural and man-made. Toxins hinder the unrestricted flow of energy through the ECM and introduces wrong electromagnetic oscillations leading to genetic instability.15 Exposure to these substances puts a great deal of stress on the body's elimination processes. Detoxification pathways are the body's first line of defense against the onslaught of toxins from the environment, including what we put into our mouths. From this standpoint it makes sense to ensure that we are eating a diet rich in nutrients needed for the proper functioning of elimination processes and one that contains as few toxins as possible.

The stressors that provoke carcinogenesis is more a question of what is missing rather than what we have. From the standpoint of the Quantum Medicine model it is the precursor nutrients that are not available that derail the body's ability to de-toxify itself. The ability to detoxify is key to maintaining homeostasis within the ECM. Homeostasis within the ECM is the key to proper biophoton communication and the efficient functioning of the body's self-regulating mechanisms.

If carcinogenesis is viewed as resulting from the damage done to DNA and cellular metabolism by free radical species, then the stressors that provoke carcinogenesis must be viewed as the contributing factors behind the lack of antioxidant protection.

Once carcinogenesis becomes diagnosable, significant genetic damage has already been done. A full blown antioxidant therapy program will certainly help to prevent further genetic damage, but it will not necessarily reverse active cancer. The key lies in determining what protective mechanisms failed and why.

In The Quantum Medicine Professional's Guide there are listed 5 pathways to degeneration based on a modification of Dr. Helmut Schimmel's basic pathogenetic patterns. The pathogenic patterns start with the duodenum (fig. 7).

Fig. 7

Irritation to the duodenum begins with an imbalance in pH (fig. 8). A diet high in junk food and low in fresh produce is guaranteed to deplete the body's reserves of alkaline buffering minerals. This in turn acts to lower the stomach's production of hydrochloric acid, which is needed for proper digestion and is an important first line of defense for invading pathogens. A resulting infection or irritation of the duodenum results in blockages of the liver detoxification functions, lymphatic congestion and poor functioning of the pancreas. The reduction of bile salts due to depleted mineral reserves affects fat metabolism. Poor fat metabolism and reduced pancreatic enzymes leads to partly digested food entering the digestive tract, which ferments and putrefies resulting in dysbiosis, constipation, and accumulating toxins being reabsorbed into the liver and into the blood stream.

Acidosis induced dysbiosis can cause intestinal bacteria to become hostile, which puts a strain on the immune system. Intestinal irritation and dysbiosis causes the immune system release of nitric oxide, which is in itself a free radical species. Byproducts of cytochrome P450 are also free radical species and can do more damage than the original toxins themselves if not neutralized by phase II conjugation processes. When duodenitis blocks the biliary ducts and the liver is unable to adequately remove toxins they become impacted in the ECM and lymphatic system. The resulting reactive oxygen species can damage the liver, the endocrine, immune and nervous systems.

The GALT immune response to foreign substances entering the intestines is predominately one of pro-inflammatory reactions in the mucosa causing chronic activation of the TH2 lymphocyte subsets. This results in the suppression of the TH1 subsets, which are responsible for immune responses against intracellular microbes, NK cell activation, and apoptosis of infected or mutant cells and tumors. In short, intestinal toxicity is a double-edged sword causing the release of free radical species on one hand and suppressing the carcinogenic immune response on the other.

Pancreatic tissue and thyroid cells are particularly susceptible to damage caused by toxins. Toxins in the pancreas can result in the dysregulation of insulin, which can affect the basal metabolic rate and other hormone functions. Impaired liver detoxification pathways can result in the inability of the liver to convert T4 to T3. An insufficiency in T3 can impair mitochondrial production of cellular fuel (ATP). Optimal mitochondrial functioning is critical to supplying the energy that drives all metabolic processes. Inadequate mitochondrial output will seriously impair liver phase I and phase II metabolic detoxification processes. Unconjugated toxins from the liver become impregnated in the skin, fatty tissue, and the connective tissue (ECM) and results in cellular degeneration, mutation, and neoplasia:

Key Steps to Identifying Stressors

Systematic measurements of conductance at specific meridian points provides a window into the ECM (fig. 9). The ability of low electromagnetic charges to travel unimpeded along a meridian pathway provides a measure of the status of the electrolyte rich extracellular fluid. Low conductive measurements are generally associated with degeneration of the associated meridian organ or regulatory blockages within the ECM itself or both.

Fig. 9

Resonance generators can be added to the circuit in order to provide a frequency oscillation that will act as a stimulant to the organ or system involved in dysregulation. The electromagnetic oscillation, when in resonance with the particular bioresonance frequencies of the organism, will induce an influx of energy to the specific resonance matched organ or system. When a resonance match is achieved, the increase in regulative potentiating energy will immediately register as increased conductance along the organ specific meridian channel.

Inverse resonance oscillations have the effect of canceling out disturbing energy fields within the ECM and along the specific organ related meridian channel. A particular toxin or pathogen can be placed into the circuit of a resonance oscillator and when the inverted resonance frequency energizes the tested meridian it is a good indication that the tested substance is one of the culprits causing dysregulation within the ECM.

Different orthomolecular substances can be placed in the circuit and provide diagnostic information concerning what is needed in the system to bring about harmonization. For example, a low conductance value along the acupuncture point related to metabolism may normalize when the coenzyme form of the B vitamins are added to the circuit. If other mitochondrial resuscitating nutrients such as CoQ10, reduced glutathione and alph-lipoic acid are added to the circuit and the conductance increases to the normal value, one can be sure that there is a problem in mitochondrial metabolism.

Once mitochondrial metabolism is resuscitated, the detoxification pathways of the liver can be tested in the same fashion. Once specific nutritive deficiencies are found it is important to also test for the precursor nutrients required for the proper synthesis of these pathways (fig. 10 and 11).

In a systematic approach one can determine the overall functioning of the ECM and determine what toxins, heavy metals, pathogens and/or missing precursor nutrients are contributing factors to the causal chain of carcinogenesis.
