An Overview of Microwave Resonance Therapy and EEG Correlates of Microwave Resonance Relaxation and Other Consciousness Altering Techniques

Abstract

Microwave Resonance Therapy (MRT) is a novel medical treatment, which represents a synthesis of the ancient Chinese traditional knowledge in medicine (acupuncture) and recent breakthroughs in biophysics. Affecting the appropriate acupuncture points by the generation of high frequency microwaves (52-78 GHz), remarkable clinical results of the treatment are being achieved. In this paper the quantum-like macroscopic biophysical bases of the MRT are elaborated too, offering a new insight in the mechanisms of the assembling gap junction hemichannels upon the internal microwave (MW) electromagnetic field spatio-temporal maximums at the temporary position of the acupuncture system, and hence the very biophysical nature of the temporary psychosomatic health or disease. Such a picture also supports the EM/ionic "optical" ultralowfrequency modulated MW quantum holographic neural network-like function of the acupuncture system (similar to complex-valued oscillatory holographic Hopfield-like neural networks), and its essential relation to consciousness, as strongly suggested from biophysical modeling of altered states of consciousness. Finally, our electroencephalographic investigations showed more or less characteristic EEG features in many subjects of relaxation induced by microwave resonance therapy applied to corresponding acupuncture points, as well as by some other activities which may alter consciousness (transcendental meditation, musicogenic states, healer/healee noncontact interaction, drowsiness), demonstrating that EEG may permit rapid and reproducible identification of different states of consciousness, useful in evaluating the effectiveness of consciousness altering techniques and related stress reduction.

Macroscopic Quantum Effects in Biophysics and Consciousness

“…On the basis of these empirical data, Sit'ko and collaborators has proposed that acupuncture system is a macroscopic quantum dynamic structure (Andreyev, Bely, and SitÊko 1982;SitÊko and Mkrtchian 1994) which might simply be visualized (Jovanovicć-Ignjaticć and Rakovicć 1999;Rakovicć et al 2000) as differentiated at the locations of maxima of three-dimensional standing waves, formed as a result of the reflection of coherent MW Frohlich excitations of molecular subunits in the cell membranes, proteins, microtubules etc. (Frohlich 1968(Frohlich , 1991.…”

“…In that context the explanation for efficiency of the MRT, as noninvasive nonmedicamentous medical treatment, should be sought (Jovanovicć-Ignjaticć and Rakovicć 1999;Rakovicć et al 2000): some disorders in the organism give rise to deformation in the standing wave structure of electrical field of the organism in MW region, which influences corresponding changes in spatial structure of the acupuncture system, and consequently its resonant frequencies, resulting in some disease. During the therapy, applying the MW sound at corresponding acupuncture points the excited acupuncture system of the patient is relaxing to the previous healthy condition, while reaching the normal resonant frequencies responses upon the wide spectrum MW source -and following to physiological mechanisms of the acupuncture regulation (Škokljev 1976;Portnov 1982;Omura 1982;Xinnong 1987) the organism biochemically overcomes the disease.…”

“…The quantum-coherent characteristics of MRT therapy suggest that healthy condition might be considered as an absolute minimum (ground state) of Sit'ko nonlocal selfconsistent macroscopic quantum potential of the organism, while some disorders of an acupuncture system correspond to higher minima of the (spatio-temporally changeable) potential hypersurface in energy-configuration space -this being possible explanation of higher MRT sensory responses of the more excited (more disordered) acupuncture system, and poor MRT sensory response of the healthy acupuncture system being already in the ground state (Jovanovicć-Ignjaticć and Rakovicć 1999;Rakovicć et al 2000). Such a picture is very close to those of associative neural networks in their energy-configuration spaces, and pattern recognition as a convergence of the network towards corresponding bottom of the potential hypersurface, as a memory attractor of the neural network (Hopfield 1982;Peruš 1996;Peruš and Dey 2000).…”

Thus, the process of psychosomatic disorder might be considered as writing and deepening of the corresponding memory attractor, while the process of MRT therapy might be considered as a subsequent removing of the memory attractor of corresponding psychosomatic disorder -implying that process of the MRT therapy could be most deeply visualized as removal of the very information on corresponding psychosomatic disease (Jovanovic-Ignjatic and Rakovicć 1999;Rakovicć et al 2000), cf. Schematic presentation of the potential hypersurface of nonlocal selfconsistent macroscopic quantum potential in the acupuncture energy-state space (E, φ): 0 -basin of attraction of the ground (healthy) state φ 0 ; 1 and 2 -basins of attraction of the two excited (psychosomatically disordered) states φ 1 and φ 2 (hundreds of them being in general).…”

On a Possible Physical Metatheory of Consciousness

“…The goal of this Appendix is to qualitatively sketch the model of transitional states of consciousness developed by Raković (1995;Raković et al 2000). Namely, these states might be deeply connected with the role of "collective consciousness" (as a composite quantum state Φ of all "individual consciousness" φ k : Φ ∼ k φ k ) in the quantum theory of measurement, where "collective consciousness" with its assembling (equivalent to convergence of Feynman's propagator quantum mechanics to one of its propagators, Φ i ) contributes in channeling reduction of initial wave function Ψ into one of (possible) probabilistic eigenstates Ψ i -which implies that "collapse" could be related with generation of microparticles' local wormholes in highly noninertial microparticle's interactions in quantum measurement situations (fully equivalent to extremely strong gravitational fields according to Einstein's Principle of equivalence, where relativistic generation of wormholes is predicted; cf.…”
