Brain death : Some genuine doubts

                Since 2008 the author had some serious reservations about the removal of organs from the bodies of persons whose brain death have been declared by authorized physicians. My fears are now substantiated by the incident reported from Foenix

                A boy named Sam Shmid a student of Arizona college was seriously injured in an accident and hence admitted to a local hospital and then to phoenix St.Joseph’s Medical Centre (October 2011). He was undergone treatment for some weeks and subsequently his ‘brain death’ was declared because the body did not respond to medicines. The hospital authorities have started to transplant his organs such as liver kidney etc to patients who needed tansplantation. His relatives gave consent for the procedure. At this juncture some one noticed the finger of the body have movement. Fortunately for the boy medical team under the leadership of Dr. Robert Spetzler continued the treatments; and now the boy has recovered to some extent. He can walk with the help of walker to short distances and speak intermittently.

                Dr. Robert spetzler described the incident as a miracle. (According to a great person a “A miracle shall be miracle only up to the time when the physical laws behind that incident is known”.)

                Similar incidents of revival after death from many parts of the world.

1)      Mumbai :- A dead body was kept in the mortery for weeks and a stroke to the head with hammer during postmortem, gave back him his ‘life’ even though one eye lost sight because of the damage of sensory (visual) area of his braindue to the stroke with hammer to the head. That person still leads normal life in Kearla (India) working as vendor.

2)      In Hyderabad a government official of very high position revived after two days kept in mortery after his death was certified by physician.

3)      In another incident in Mumbai a man was revived after lying in the mortery for 11 hours as a ‘certified dead body’. The bites of a crowd of mouse helped his revival from death! It is reported that he jumped the wall fencing and reached the road and then went to his home in a hired riksha.

4)      At Kolkata (India) in a nursing home a baby was born still in the midnight but got life next morning 10am.

5)      At Tamil Nadu (India) an old man died in the night. But the next day he became a live at the time of sunrising.

        In the light of numerous similar incidents around the world, we need a more satisfactory definition for death and brain death.

It is possible that vital radiations are not reaching the C.N.S and the total nervous system because of very low availability of Vital radiations in the surrounding atmosphere due to conditions such as night, new moon, winter etc. As there is no vital functioning of brain E.E.G become flat. (Presence of chemicals such as pain killers, medicines given for hyper tension, anxiety etc. also may prevent the absorption of vital radiations.)

Rising of sun and good weather increase the availability of vital radiations and hence the C.N.S and body again gets life through reabsorption of vital energy.

Death or Brain death should be redefined as the final and irrevocable loss of capacity of brain to receive and conduct vital energy; caused by total or near complete degeneration of brain.

Hope that readers shall forgive me, considering my good intention for discussing the most unliked subject.

Logical Explanation for QI (Chi) & Ki in Acupuncture and Reiki

Introduction

                Upto seventeenth century all cultures and traditions around the world knew that living bodies were different from inanimate object, because of the presence of an energy which they named QI (Chi), Prana, Vata, Vital energy, Elan energy etc (in the living ‘objects’). In eighteenth century mechanical materialism became dominant in the philosophical and scientific fields. As a result the ‘vitalism’ was rejected and the half baked science of that era declared that the living being has ‘life’ only because the nerve cells (neurons) and the cells in the S.A Node of Heart generate electricity by chemical actions and with help of this electricity; neuro communication, pulsation of heart, breathing, functioning of brain/mind etc become possible.

                Because of the development of modern physics the time has become ripe for the revival of concept of Qi or Vital energy on the basis of Dialectical and Holistic Philosophies.

                In the Chinese zoology, culture and medicine there was the knowledge of the energy which flows through living body continuously. It shall be present through its life. It was called QI (Chi) or Vital motivating force behind all its functions. A part of this energy is considered to be coming from ‘heaven’ and the other parts from water and food. The heaven can be defined as the space. We know that space is not vacuum but filled with electromagnetic waves coming from sun stars and cosmos and also from moon and planets (indirectly). These Electomagnetic waves such as micro waves and infrared waves are absorbed by the living bodies-mostly through Filum terminale. (The extra meridian (i) ‘Vital Channel’ which contol Qi or Vital energy of the whole body was considered to be starting from uterus in the pelvis represented by Ren1. Coccyx and Sacrum were connected to this channel.) The E.M. Waves absorbed through filum terminale then spreads to the spinal cord and brain. From brain this vital energy flows downwards to heart, intenstines, lungs and all other organs (sensory and motor) through different nerve channels. These nerve channel were called meridians. Meridians and LUO connections conducts or radiates the Qi are E.M.Waves similar to optical fiber cables. Qi was divided to Yin and Yang. Yin is the electro magnetic or photonic radiations of particular frequencies which are comparatively cool. Yang is the Photonic waves of some other frequencies which are comparatively hot (That is why Yin is represented by night, moon, dark, inactive etc and Yang is represented by day, sun, bright light, active etc)

                The immunity of the living body against bacteria, virus etc is contribution of ‘protecting Qi’, Vital energy or Vital radiations (reaching all parts of the living body through the whole nervous system). This is accomplished by creating more warmth or fever. (We know that if there are obstructions for the flow of E.M. wave rising of temperature shall follow)

                The nerve channel connecting central nervous system with the organs such as heart, lungs intestines etc were named shapu sabo Yin, Hsin Ching etc. (In the modern zoology this channel is called vagus nerve)

                We know that the whole nervous system is interconnected with each other. Any stimulation given to a particular important part of this channel in the surface of the body can influence inner parts and related parts of other channels through variations in the frequency of photonic flow. The delicate needles utilized in the acupuncture medicine are acting as an antenna and receive E.M. Waves (in the atmosphere) and then conduct it into the nerve channels or meridians; which give the therapeutic effect.

                Now we can conclude that the concepts Qi et are not ‘difficult to reconcile with contemporary scientific knowledge systems (Please remember the consensus statement of National Institute of Health-U.S.A that “it (Qi) is difficult reconcile with contemporary bio medical informations”).

                The founder of Reiki system also was aware of the relation between Universal energy and life energy.

Negative effects of globalization in health sector

            As one of the negative effects of globalization the health sector is undergoing industrialization and commercialization. Health is considered as a commodity (which is the product of health industry) to be purchased by patients. As an economic entity this industry needs to expand its market (i.e. increase the total number of patients with ability to purchase) Market law of supply/demand may work for boosting demand. After all a patient is a customer!

            But the truth is that ill health/disease is a deviation from the natural state i.e. health/ease. Yet it should be remembered that health/ease is not a static equilibrium but a dynamic one in which minor fluctuations should not be encountered over anxiously. Health/ease can be maintained/regained in almost all cases by diet regulations, herbal food additives, providing safe drinking water, guaranteeing clean air & environment, optimum of physical exercises, creative thinking & working, positive approaches, regulation of Vital radiations (Pranayama), meditation or prayer according to the belief system of the person.

A prospective diagnostic tool for imaging brain and spinal cord

Enterprising technocrats  can design  a new imaging apparatus by utilizing the energy absorbing nature of nervous system. Infrared rays, microwaves or radio waves of appropriate frequency and intensity may be emitted to the lower part of spinal column.   Central nervous system (Brain + Spinal cord) shall absorb this energy through filum terminale and it shall be emitted from spinal cord and brain.   By analysing these emissions the image of spinal cord and brain can be had through the process similar to the process in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT). Advantage of the newer apparatus shall be that, it needs no radio isotopes to be injected into the body.    This process shall be having less adverse effects.    This apparatus may be named Photon Emission Tomograph.

COMMENTS ON NOBEL PRIZE FOR CHEMISTRY 2003

Different channels of atoms such as Sodium, Potassium, Calcium etc are created because electro magnetic waves of different frequencies suitable to ionize these atoms pass through various nerves. These channels of similar atoms are sodium channels, potassium channels etc.

Common people around the world think that Nobel prizes are awarded to most satisfactory and perfect concepts put forward in subjects such as Chemistry, Physical sciences, medicine-physiology etc. I am convinced that this belief is a wrong one because of the Nobel prizes given in Chemistry (2003) and in medicine-physiology (2004). We can examine the hypotheses of these research workers, in the light of state of the art understanding in these areas.

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2003 was awarded for the "discovery" about the ion channels in living cell. At seventies it was thought that the ion channels were able to admit only certain ions because they were equipped with some kind of ion filters eg: Channels of potassium ions do not admit sodium ions.

The hypothesis for which the prize was given postulates that 'why potassium ions not sodium ions are admitted through the 'filter'- because "the distance between the potassium ion and the oxygen atoms in the 'filter' is the same as that between the potassium ion and the oxygen atoms in the water molecules surrounding the potassium ion when it is outside the filter. Then it can slide through the filter unopposed," It is explained that sodium ion which is smaller than the potassium ion, cannot pass through the channel because it (the sodium ion) does not fit between the oxygen atoms in the filter. It is also explained that the control of the ion channel is achieved by a 'gate' at the bottom of the channel which open and close molecular "Sensors" which are situated close to the 'gate'. It is also postulated that "certain sensors react to certain signals such as increase in concentration of calcium ions, an electric voltage over the cell membrane, or binding of a signal molecule of some kind” (!) It is also proposed that “by connecting different sensors to ion channels nature have created channels that respond to a large number of different signals.”
