For greater than a century, scientists have observed water has a wide range of uncommon properties that don’t match throughout the traditional mannequin of it being only a strong, liquid or fuel.
Gerald Pollack constructed upon these observations, and finally decided that when a negatively charged floor is current, if an acceptable power supply can be current (notably infrared — which is all over the place), the water will assemble itself into layers of offset hexagonal sheets with the formulation H3O2 that behave like a liquid crystal.
Notice: Along with mild, sound may generate H3O2.
In my eyes, liquid crystalline water is a critically below appreciated space of science because it supplies a mechanism to clarify most of the unexplained mysteries of the physique (e.g., how achieve this many fluids circulate inside it regardless of there being no recognized pump to maneuver them) and a method to put phrases into a lot of what we incessantly observe throughout the physique.
What Is Liquid Crystalline Water?
Liquid crystalline water has a big diploma of solidity, and can expel most issues from getting into it (e.g., polystyrene microspheres), together with the displaced hydrogen atoms (as it’s H1.5O not H2O). These displaced positively charged H atoms (henceforth known as protons), in flip assemble instantly outdoors this lattice, thereby making a pH and cost gradient which could be measured.
In lots of circumstances, these H3O2 lattices could be monumental — in favorable situations, Pollack and others have measured ones starting from 0.1 millimeters to 0.5 millimeters (100,000 to 500,000 nanometers or nm) in dimension. Cells depend upon this water, in order that they comprise a lot of surfaces from which the water can type.
For instance, 20% of the cell is occupied by its cytoskeleton (a protein lattice which maintains its construction), and evaluation of high-voltage electron micrographs have proven that throughout the cytoskeleton, over half of the water current is inside 5 nm of a floor it might probably type H3O2 on (for reference a single H2O molecule is 0.27 nm in dimension).
Because the floor websites that water can construction on are so intently packed collectively in cells, it’s comprehensible why liquid crystalline water (additionally generally referred to as EZ water) could be a lot extra obvious to people observing residing cells below a microscope (which in truth is the place a lot of the early analysis on H3O2 originated from). This in flip raises one other query: why are cells designed to create a lot liquid crystalline water?
Notice: An extended article describing the lengthy historical past of analysis into liquid crystalline water (H3O2) and its bodily properties could be learn right here.
Mysteries of the Cell
Within the earlier article, I mentioned a typical difficulty I observe inside science. When an incorrect mannequin is utilized to clarify a pure course of, discrepancies between the mannequin’s predictions and actuality will inevitably seem.
One would anticipate that when this occurs, it will encourage these espousing the misguided mannequin to re-examine their mannequin, however as a substitute, since a lot has been invested into that mannequin, they as a substitute will denounce any challenges to it, and give you innumerable artistic methods to clarify away every failure of the present mannequin.
Think about, for instance, the preliminary guarantees of the vaccines (if you happen to get two doses, you had been advised that you’d be fully immune, transmission would cease, and COVID-19 would quickly fade into reminiscence). Because the medical trials for the vaccines had been fraudulent, not one of the vaccines’ guarantees materialized, and the COVID scenario as a substitute turned worse.
Nevertheless, as a substitute of healthcare authorities (and the medical neighborhood) admitting their mistake and switching to a unique method for managing COVID-19, they doubled down on the vaccine mandates and moved the objective posts again and again with regard to what mass-vaccination (and boosting) was truly supposed to perform.
Likewise, for mobile biology, our data of the cell is surprisingly primitive and the present fashions typically fail to clarify what happens throughout the mobile atmosphere. Nevertheless, because the various fashions usually are not typically accepted by the scientific neighborhood, we have now been compelled to repeatedly patch the present fashions in order that they will considerably account for the innumerable mysteries of life.
At this level, I imagine one of many key causes of this case is scientific analysis turning into distorted to prioritize specializing in discoveries that trade can revenue from.
For instance, immunology has a slender concentrate on the features of the immune system which could be focused by vaccination or proprietary medication, which in flip has left many different elements of the immune response uncared for (the immune system is usually known as one of many least understood methods within the physique).
Equally, since pharmaceutical medication typically work by affecting receptors and channels in cells, mobile biology has adopted a narrow-minded concentrate on simply these features of a cell.
In flip, the liquid crystalline part of water supplies a wide range of explanations for most of the organic phenomena that the present fashions merely don’t adequately tackle. On this article, I’ll focus upon a number of of them.
Notice: A lot of what’s mentioned on this article is roofed in additional element inside these three books (equally, the vast majority of the references for this text are sourced from these books, so I can’t repetitively cite them all through the article). Should you want to additional examine the topic your self, I might advocate studying these books (all authored by Gerald H. Pollack) on this order:
The Fourth Section of Water: Past Strong, Liquid, and Vapor (2013)
Cells, Gels and the Engines of Life: A New, Unifying Method to Cell Perform (2001)
Section Transitions in Cell Biology (2008) — that is essentially the most technical of the three
Mobile Integrity
One of many main puzzles of biology is the immense sturdiness that cells have. Should you think about the traditional mannequin — cells being luggage of liquid contained inside a fluid mosaic membrane, it must be easy for exterior forces to “pop” cells and have all of their contents spill out. But usually, cells keep their integrity regardless of vital stressors.
Cells can survive traumas, together with being guillotined in half, drawn and quartered (so particular elements could be remoted and labored with — corresponding to when performing in vitro fertilization), or shot filled with holes with electrical bullets, every of which one would anticipate could be adequate to “pop” them. Nevertheless, in every occasion, mobile integrity of the remaining element persists.
Equally, if the membrane from a cell is eliminated, its inside contents stay in place moderately than quickly dispersing. It has additionally been recognized for over 50 years that if muscle fibers lose their membranes, their practical capability (making a contractile drive) stays intact.
Three clues assist to clarify these phenomena. The primary is that — as Pollack has proven — water droplets have a exceptional quantity of integrity, and like cells, will keep their integrity (and subsequently fuse again collectively) if a micro-blade is used to guillotine them in half. The second is that Pollack has additionally proven water droplets comprise a big diploma of liquid crystalline water which doubtless is what confers their integrity.
The third is that the water molecules in cells predominantly exist inside gels, that are composed of that very same liquid crystalline water. Put otherwise, which means a cell’s stability is essentially a property of its water holding it collectively moderately than the exterior construction which encapsulates it.
One other essential side of mobile structure ought to now be thought-about. Because the situations for liquid crystalline water formation are current all through the cell (negatively charged hydrophilic surfaces and ambient infrared power), the cells ought to quickly be filling themselves with liquid crystalline water layers a whole lot of micrometers in thickness.
But, all through the cells, the surfaces are sometimes solely fractions of a micrometer aside. Because of this the construction of the cell relies upon upon the continuous formation of liquid crystalline water, however concurrently constrains that crystalline construction from rising to its full dimension.
Tensegrity
Classically in structure, buildings are created by having sturdy skeletons upon which the remainder of the construction rests. For instance, within the previous days, we incessantly used stone pillars; these days, skyscrapers require metal superstructures to satisfy the wants of those buildings:
This mannequin typically doesn’t work inside residing organisms, as a result of life, in contrast to these buildings, requires speedy motion, and residing organisms merely can’t produce strong constructions with the identical energy as metal beams. Nevertheless, an alternate and extra advanced architectural mannequin has been developed which is incessantly utilized by those that embrace complexity inside their fashions.
Tensegrity (brief for tensional integrity), was a mannequin first put ahead by Buckminster Fuller. It posits that if a collection of non-compressible constructions are linked collectively by a lattice of elastic connections (which may retailer rigidity when stretched), a a lot stronger construction is created.
It is because any drive the construction receives will likely be equally distributed by way of every of these elastic connections moderately than concentrating on a single element (e.g., the stone pillar), and thus, a lot much less prone to exceed the breaking level of any single structural element.
Fuller’s work subsequently impressed quite a few buildings to be constructed on the rules of tensegrity. It is a traditional image of him holding a tensegrity sphere he made:
Biotensegrity encapsulates the conclusion that this similar system additionally happens all through nature. For the human physique, at every degree of group, a linked tensile matrix is current that confers its stability.
One French hand surgeon, Jean-Claude Guimberteau, has likewise performed a exceptional job of demonstrating the presence of linked tensile constructions on the degree of fascia (a connective tissue current all through the physique many guide therapists work with), by way of small (magnified) cameras positioned within the physique throughout minimally invasive surgical procedures:
Notice: On the magnification scale used right here and in his different movies, liquid crystalline water could be straight noticed coating these constructions. Additionally notice its lubricating high quality that permits the constructions to slip previous one another. Lack of this lubrication seems to create a wide range of points throughout the physique.
Because the years go by, there seems to be a higher consensus throughout the holistic medical area that biotensegrity is a sound mannequin for understanding the physique, and that linked networks of rigidity are current from the biggest to the smallest ranges of the physique (e.g., the cytoskeleton is the elastic connecting unit inside every cell). Nevertheless, whereas this principle is incessantly mentioned, there are nonetheless two main unaddressed points with it, which I imagine liquid crystalline water can clarify.
The primary is that in Guimberteau’s work, he had noticed that tiny vacuoles (enclosed compartments stuffed with water) all through the physique type the essential incompressible unit that a lot of the physique’s tensegrity relies upon upon.
The second is that at a good increased magnification inside cells, whereas a cytoskeleton is current that’s below rigidity, there’s nothing that may be seen which creates that rigidity (and it’s extremely debatable if the cell’s connections to the extracellular matrix suffice to create that rigidity). This issues as a result of the structural energy of a tensegrity system solely emerges when a construction’s elements are below rigidity.
Within the case of the previous, I imagine that the microvacuoles are stuffed with liquid crystalline water (which can’t be compressed). Within the case of water droplets, Pollack concluded that the mutual repulsion between positively charged protons (pushed to the middle of the droplet by sheets of H3O2) creates an outwards drive resisted by the liquid crystalline boundary of the droplet.
The steadiness between these two forces ends in the droplet assuming a spherical type, and I imagine the identical mechanism is at work within the microvacuoles all through the human physique.
Within the case of the latter, it is very important bear in mind how a lot growth is produced by proteins that create gels (many gels are over 99.9% water). Pollack, in flip, has proven that the liquid crystalline water that’s consistently making an attempt to type throughout the cell is unable to succeed in its full dimension as a consequence of proteins resisting the stretch that must happen had been the liquid crystalline gel to develop to its full dimension.
This occurs each on the degree of the cell (because the cytoskeleton stretches because the cell expands to its most dimension, till it can’t enable additional growth to happen) and inside proteins all through the cell.
On the protein degree, the physique typically depends upon chemical bonds to be made between proteins to constrain the utmost growth that may happen in response to a gel forming. Moreover, proteins can alternate between a folded and an unfolded conformation (e.g., a helix vs. a coil), one thing typically decided by the strain utilized to the protein (such because the expansive stress of liquid crystalline water inside a gel).
There are a number of significance penalties of this conformation change which will likely be mentioned later on this article (e.g., for the physiology of muscular tissues). Moreover, many different elements of the physique additionally seem to depend on liquid crystalline water:
“Learning collagen, Melacini et al. famous the significance of water in stabilizing its triple helix crystalline construction. They discovered that water throughout the collagen helix kinds a “semi-clathrate-like construction that surrounds and interconnects triple helices within the crystal lattice.”
Water throughout the matrix of bone is likewise extremely structured, a structuring that has been discovered related not solely with natural macromolecules corresponding to collagen and proteoglycans, however with the mineral surfaces as properly. Water, in truth, appears to play a foundational function in orienting mineral nanoparticles into parallel preparations throughout the bone matrix, offering this orientation even within the absence of natural molecules.”
On a regular basis Gel Expansions
Many applied sciences we’re aware of (e.g., diapers) depend on hydrogels which may develop right into a semisolid construction which retain water. Equally, we are able to straight observe that many bigger processes throughout the physique are additionally dependent upon water’s tendency to assemble into the bigger liquid crystalline constructions.
As a result of the conventional structure of protein’s cross-linking habits limits how a lot gels can develop (because the proteins which would wish to separate to accommodate the rising gel are prevented from doing so by cross hyperlinks between them), when tissue or protein is broken, this limitation could be partially eliminated. In consequence, it may be seen on a microscopic scale that human tissue will swell and develop when it’s broken.
Likewise, Pollack has argued that that is almost certainly what occurs while you expertise a musculoskeletal trauma. In Pollack’s proposed mannequin, the preliminary gel formation additional expands the present tear, and this progressive growth of liquid crystalline water finally results in seen swelling.
On a bigger scale, one of many main engineering challenges for the physique is having weight-bearing joints just like the knees be capable to keep their vary of movement with out turning into broken by the continuous friction they expertise every day.
A exceptional attribute about liquid crystalline water is that, offered the floor from which it kinds stays intact, liquid crystalline water could be destroyed after which reform, together with its nearly frictionless floor, again and again.
Due to this, the liquid crystalline water finally ends up being the element which absorbs the stress skilled by wholesome joints, and offered the joint is wholesome, this water can immediately regenerate from that stress. Together with this regenerating layer of negatively charged liquid crystalline water, on the very middle of the joint, there’s a pocket of positively charged protons which repel from one another and create an expansive stress (like what’s seen in a water droplet).
Because the joint capsule seals this area, these protons are unable to flee and thus successfully perform like repelling magnets (e.g., think about a maglev practice) that resist the burden of the physique and keep the central house throughout the joint.
One of many issues I think about essentially the most compelling about Pollack’s mannequin for the joints is the particular high quality of synovial fluid contained in the knee joint. While you view it on a digicam throughout an arthroscopic surgical procedure, diffusion inside it’s visibly slowed, whereas if you happen to straight extract it (e.g., throughout a knee aspiration), you’ll be able to inform that it has a a lot thicker and gelatinous high quality, one thing I’ve discovered to affiliate with the presence of liquid crystalline water.
Pollack likewise argues that his mannequin suggests EZ (liquid crystalline) water’s habits resembles that of a gelatinous egg white which is semisolid when left alone, but capable of circulate in response to an imposed shear drive.
Mobile Gradients
Notice: A “gradient” describes a distinction within the focus of issues in two totally different areas. This might embody electrical expenses (i.e. batteries rely upon gradients), electrolytes, or temperatures — and lots of gradients present an simply harvestable supply of power.
The prevailing paradigm of physics asserts the next:
The pure state of issues is to be disordered and evenly blended.
Anytime you make one thing change into extra ordered (e.g., forming a crystal or making a gradient between two areas), power should be expended to create that ordering.
When an ordered construction turns into disordered, power is launched within the course of which may typically be harvested (e.g., combusting wooden in a wooden range to warmth our houses).
Anytime power is launched from one thing, if you happen to try and seize and retailer that power, some power will at all times be misplaced.
These legal guidelines, in flip, are used to refute the likelihood that any kind of “free-energy” system can exist, such because the exclusion zone (EZ) water system Pollack has proposed the place quite a few harvestable gradients are created. Sadly for the present paradigm, biology typically seems to violate these legal guidelines, as it’s frequently transferring in direction of a extra ordered state moderately than the disordered state the present paradigm predicts.
The present decision for this paradox (which gained a Nobel prize) is that residing organisms perform as “dissipative constructions,” which trade the order in massive quantities of ordered elements they accumulate from their atmosphere in return for imparting order to their very own disordered contents.
Though to some extent this permits the present paradigm to maintain itself, I don’t imagine it’s solely correct as water, by way of its liquid crystalline construction, has the power to retailer radiant power that passes by way of it and convert that power to order the physique can then make the most of.
The Sodium Potassium Gradient
One of many issues residing cells are well-known for doing is concentrating potassium inside themselves and reciprocally expelling sodium. Because the focus inside and outdoors cells differs, a gradient exists, which, by the present legal guidelines of physics ought to attempt to equalize itself and quickly disappear.
Since this doesn’t occur, the present mannequin has argued that the mobile membrane prevents the passage of most however not all sodium and potassium (thereby inhibiting the gradient from equalizing itself) and that sodium potassium pumps on the mobile membrane exist which continuous swap sodium contained in the cell for potassium outdoors the cell.
As a result of this trade is so important to sustaining the well being of the cell, a big focus in mobile biology is positioned on the significance of the sodium potassium trade pump. Sadly, there are three elementary issues with this mannequin (the proof of every of those and extra is introduced by Gilbert Ling right here):
The maths doesn’t add up — the present sodium potassium pumps merely should not have the capability to counteract the pure undoing of the sodium and potassium gradients. For instance, in muscle cells, sustaining the sodium potassium gradient with pumps requires between 4 to 30 instances the whole out there power within the cell.
Cells are capable of keep a gradient with a wide range of different undesirable elements they expel (e.g., micro organism expelling antibiotics) and to clarify these phenomena, increasingly pumps are recognized to attempt to help the mannequin. It is a drawback as a result of it’s unlikely that cells have the capability to concurrently maintain so many various pumps.
Ling took frog muscle cells whose atmosphere was altered in order that they had been fully starved of power (which is required to function the sodium potassium pump). Regardless of this, the gradient was maintained.
This then begs the query of what might be creating this gradient? Ling made the next observations:
The gradient was maintained if the cell membrane (the place these pumps reside) was eliminated.
Producing a membrane with sodium potassium pumps that didn’t comprise a cytoplasm (the within of a cell) resulted within the gradient quickly disappearing from with the membrane.
This implies that the gradient is a property of the cell cytoplasm moderately than the mobile membrane. Curiously, the equivalent property has been present in synthetic gels, which just like the cytoplasm, additionally generate massive quantities of liquid crystalline water:
“We present that the gel barrier is ready to keep a secure separation of ionic options of various ionic strengths and chemical compositions with none pumping exercise. For the Na+ /Ok+ focus gradient sustained throughout the barrier, a detrimental electrical potential develops throughout the Ok+ -rich facet. The scenario is harking back to that within the cell.
Moreover, additionally the advective circulate of water molecules throughout the gel barrier is restricted, regardless of the gel’s massive pores and the osmotic or hydrostatic stress gradients throughout it.”
This focus phenomenon has additionally been noticed by different authors:
“Proof for such accumulative condensation was produced nearly a century in the past when Bungenberg de Jong in 1932 confirmed that even dilute options of polymers, when shaken, coalesced into droplets-then referred to as coascervates-in which the natural matter turned extremely concentrated. The polymer focus in such droplets might exceed the focus within the surrounding tub by as a lot as 10,000 instances.
When positioned in sure dyes, the droplets turned progressively extra coloured, the depth typically many instances exceeding that of the encircling resolution. Thus, gel droplets had the capability to pay attention sure solutes, because the cell concentrates potassium.”
Since gels independently reveal most of the inexplicable traits of cells, it’s thus cheap to conclude they may share a mechanism for producing the sodium potassium gradient noticed all through biology.
Boundaries
One main problem for all cells is holding undesirable issues out. Classically, we view the method of pathogenic substances getting into cells as being a product of their interplay with matching receptors on the cells (a world view which I imagine is emphasised by medical science as a result of medication could be developed to disrupt this course of). I, in flip, imagine that this exclusion course of by the cell is closely influenced by current expenses, zeta potential and liquid crystalline water.
As a result of liquid crystalline water can for essentially the most half solely type on negatively charged surfaces (the identical approach that water molecules every expel half a hydrogen atom and thereby maintain a internet detrimental cost because of the misplaced hydrogens), nearly each floor within the physique (and lots of different pure methods) is coated with a detrimental cost.
Since colloidal stability (which governs the habits of most fluid methods) largely relies upon upon the mutual repulsion created by equivalent expenses, most pure colloidal methods make the most of detrimental expenses to stay dispersed and solely clump collectively if extreme constructive expenses are current (likewise most strategies of restoring zeta potential function on this precept).
Pathogenic organisms typically impart constructive expenses to their atmosphere (corresponding to by way of micro organism decarboxylating the detrimental expenses of amino acids inside proteins). This causes proteins and cells contained in the physique to start clumping collectively (the malaria parasite is especially good at doing this), which each prevents the immune system from having access to the microbes and will increase the microbe’s capability to achieve entry to the cells.
One of many notably attention-grabbing observations made by the unique proponent of physiologic zeta potential was that bacterial and viral infections (I imagine this was essentially the most studied with influenza) would create a constant degradation of the physiologic zeta potential. This supplies a proof for why viruses like influenza could be a lot extra harmful for the aged.
Somebody with a wholesome zeta potential can tolerate a minor impairment of their colloidal stability (they are going to simply really feel a bit unwell), however for somebody who already has an impaired zeta potential (which is a quite common consequence of getting old), that discount could be adequate to move a crucial threshold the place extreme sickness onsets.
One of many earliest distinguishing traits of COVID-19 to me was that many sufferers developed medical indicators suggesting extreme zeta potential disruption, one thing I had not seen with another respiratory virus. A key motive I used to be involved in regards to the spike protein lengthy earlier than the vaccines entered the market, was as a result of I had recognized it because the doubtless wrongdoer for this zeta potential disruption.
This was as a consequence of it being a novel element of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (it differed from that of SARS-CoV-1) that was current on the floor of the virus and which had an unusually excessive constructive cost density. It has since been proven that the spike protein straight induces clumping of crimson blood cells, doubtless as a consequence of its cost distribution having the potential to create a big disruption of physiologic zeta potential.
One of many attention-grabbing feedback I’ve repeatedly seen acknowledged by each people who’ve taken protocols to enhance their physique’s manufacturing of liquid crystalline water and people who’ve performed the identical for enhancing their zeta potential, is that they not often get sick.
This might probably imply both that the signs of infections are far more minor if these physiologic parameters are already in good well being (e.g., because you don’t move a crucial zeta potential threshold), or as a result of they straight stop cells from turning into contaminated by pathogens.
As many components which positively have an effect on one of many parameters typically have an effect on the opposite (e.g., earthing improves zeta potential and promotes the expansion of liquid crystalline water within the physique), it’s a bit onerous to say which impact in the end predominates, and an excessive amount of my analysis on this subject was based mostly on making an attempt to reply that query.
Notice: The strategies of restoring zeta potential and rising liquid crystalline water throughout the physique are mentioned additional right here.
On this article, we overview a number of the proof supporting that barrier speculation. The earliest I got here throughout was from the work of Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958), who believed it was critically essential for water to journey in a vortexing sample, one thing as mentioned within the earlier a part of this collection, has been proven to extend the presence of liquid crystalline water.
One of many many discoveries made by using vortexing methods based mostly on his design for water provides was that it diminished the expansion of micro organism throughout the water system (e.g., on the within of pipes).
Different analysis has straight discovered that the presence of liquid crystalline water prevents the expansion and invasion of micro organism, corresponding to this examine:
“In a check performed with E. coli, cells progressively penetrated EZ [liquid crystalline water] over 2 days. Moreover, EZ-bearing Nafion had 80% much less biomass accumulation of E. coli over 2 days in comparison with an EZ-less, hydrophilic, clean aluminum oxide floor. This implies that EZ might signify the primary line of protection, spatially and temporally, in opposition to micro organism approaching sure hydrophilic surfaces.
These findings might have essential implications in creating biofouling-resistant materials surfaces for purposes delicate to bacterial attachment and biofilm formation.”
And this examine:
“Silk sericin is a globular protein whose resistance in opposition to fouling is essential for purposes in biomaterials and water-purification membranes. Right here it’s proven how sericin generates a water-exclusion [liquid crystalline] zone which will facilitate antifouling habits. Negatively charged microspheres had been used to imitate the floor cost and hydrophobic domains in micro organism.
Immersed in water, sericin shaped a 100-µm-sized exclusion zone (for micron-size foulants), together with a proton gradient with a lower of >2 pH-units. Thus, when in touch with sericin, water molecules close to the floor restructure to type a bodily exclusionary barrier that may stop biofouling.
The decreased pH turns the aqueous medium unviable for neutrophilic micro organism. Subsequently, resistance to biofouling appears explainable, amongst different components, on the premise of water-exclusionary phenomena.”
Many tissues depend upon the presence of liquid crystalline water lining them, and that is doubtless no less than partly, because of the protecting barrier they create. Inexperienced and Otori in 1970, for instance, discovered exclusion zones roughly 350 μm deep extending from the cornea, and likewise from contact lenses (it’s essential to guard the attention from injury, and liquid crystalline water capabilities as a clear, well-lubricated barrier, qualities each crucial for the eyes).
Pollack, roughly 15 years in the past, additionally discovered equivalent outcomes (the presence of liquid crystalline water) subsequent to polyNIPAM, the gel used to manufacture contact lenses.
Some of the essential tissues within the physique for offering a protecting (however well-lubricated layer) is on the endothelial lining of the blood vessels. There, massive quantities of blood creating vital shear forces consistently move over the blood vessels. So far, Malcom Kendrick has famous that the areas of circulation which expertise the best shear forces are the almost certainly to develop the continual injury which finally results in coronary heart illness.
The protecting coating of the endothelium, the glycocalyx, is structured (as a consequence of its excessive sulfate content material) to create massive quantities of gel (liquid crystalline water) round it and thus defend the endothelium. Moreover, a skinny layer that blood cells can’t enter is understood to straight line the partitions of even the smallest blood vessels.
Equally, researchers in 2000 noticed a 0.4-0.5μm thick gelled layer of water lining the endothelium of wholesome capillaries (the smallest blood vessels within the physique), and this lining excludes a wide range of totally different substances from reaching the endothelium.
Formally, the vaccine spike protein can’t have an effect on the endothelium as a result of it lacks a practical ACE2 binding area (whereas the COVID-19 virus has a practical one by way of which it then enters the cell).
Though that is the case, there are a lot of different ways in which the spike protein can nonetheless connect to the endothelium (e.g., the spike protein can nonetheless connect to the receptor, it straight binds heparin within the glyocalyx, and whether it is produced from contained in the endothelium by the vaccine, it has successfully entered the endothelium).
Since autopsies of people suspected to have died as a consequence of vaccination have revealed profound injury to the endothelial layer, this supplies sturdy proof that the spike protein in a method or one other has the power to penetrate the usually protecting barrier there.
Many have suspected that that is partly because of the extremely constructive cost that the spike protein (and the typically positively charged elements of the lipid nanoparticles) carries, as these constructive expenses can penetrate the liquid crystalline water barrier defending cells just like the endothelium.
I imagine it could even be because of the spike protein’s disruption of zeta potential, as different states related to elevated blood viscosity (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes) are recognized to break the endothelium and speed up the development to heart problems.
Section Transitions
Though liquid crystalline water is important for all times, an excessive amount of of it may also be problematic. For instance, if your complete cell was lined with gel-state water, it will not be attainable for a lot of issues that wanted to enter the cell to enter.
To unravel this drawback, areas of constructive cost exist within the membrane (e.g., Pollack argues that this can be a key motive for the location of metallic ions throughout the cell membrane), which stop liquid crystalline water from forming over the realm and thus create an open passage for water to journey by way of.
Notice: Though we’re taught to consider the cell as a fluid mosaic of phospholipids with proteins right here and there, roughly 50% of the cell membrane is often composed of proteins (and it may possibly typically be much more).
Normally, nonetheless, the physique depends upon with the ability to remodel water between its gel (liquid crystalline) state and a sol (bulk water containing colloidal suspensions) state as wanted. Nevertheless, whereas recognition of the elemental significance of part adjustments in mobile biology has progressively elevated over the past 70 years, the vast majority of the scientific area continues to be wedded to the fluid mosaic speculation, which believes that the mobile membrane is at all times a liquid.
Briefly, gels (each pure and artificial ones) sometimes have a temperature (its transition level) the place the gel will bear a speedy transition from one state to the opposite (defined additional right here). So far as I do know, in all circumstances, the warmer temperature will correspond to the sol state (H2O water with suspended colloids) and the colder one will correspond to the gel state (H3O2). Moreover, elevated stress will even promote the gel state:
“Organic exercise nearly universally requires that membranes be of their fluid state; in lots of circumstances, simply above the transition level.”
Gels all through the physique, in flip, are designed to have a part transition level close to the conventional temperature of the physique. This will likely clarify why most mammals and birds keep their temperature between 35°– 42°C (95°– 107.6°F; the conventional temperature for people is 37°C or 98.6°F), an in any other case curious reality given how a lot their our bodies and environments differ (e.g., a tiny hen within the desert vs. a blue whale).
Moreover, this temperature extends past warm-blooded animals. A tuna fish, when lively, maintains the temperature of its physique at 30°C or 86°F (the ocean is way colder) whereas many reptiles keep their physique temperature close to 40°C or 104°F (by doing issues like searching for out the solar). Many bugs additionally can’t fly till they’ve warmed as much as the same vary of temperature (e.g., 38°C or 100.4°F for bumblebees).
Equally, the part transition level is closely influenced by the supplies that the gel builds from (e.g., elements of the cell membrane). Chilly-blooded animals in flip have been noticed to vary the composition of their cell membranes in response to their atmosphere.
In a single experiment, Calotes versicolor (the widespread backyard lizard), had been acclimatized to 16°, 26°, and 36°C (60.8°, 78.8°, and 96.8°F) for a interval of thirty days. The lizards exhibited dramatic adjustments within the focus of main phospholipids (elements of the cell membrane) corresponding to phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, cardiolipin, and sphingomyelin.
Temperature acclimatization has additionally been noticed to fluctuate the lipid composition of carp muscle microsomes together with carp blood cells, and seasonal variation has been noticed within the lipid composition of brains of rainbow trout.
As soon as the gel is held close to its transition temperature, it’s then relative simple to vary precisely the place that transition temperature is so water could be stored within the acceptable part for the present physiologic wants. That is primarily performed throughout the physique by altering the electrolyte composition of the realm, as sturdy cations (positively charged ions) destroy gels, whereas sturdy anions (negatively charged ions) reinforce them.
So far as I can inform, the consequences of those ions correlate to the excessive valence (cost) anions (-) that almost all successfully help physiologic zeta potential and people excessive valence cations (+) which most successfully destroy it.
The first cation component which the physique makes use of to shift the transition temperature to be able to destroy gels is calcium (Ca). As an instance the impact of calcium graphically (notice how a sudden crucial threshold of Ca focus is reached):
These outcomes additionally confirmed how the upper valence cations, Ca2+, trigger smaller gels to type relative to low valence cations Na(1)+.
As soon as you set all of this collectively, you successfully get a scenario like this throughout the cells which permits small secretions of calcium there to shift its water from a fluid to a gel state.
Conversely, if the physique can disperse the gels, it additionally wants a method to recreate them. The first sturdy (excessive valence) anion it makes use of to construct them are the phosphates in adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Once we think about this various perform of ATP, we must always think about a number of the concepts first proposed by Ling (see 8.4 on web page 178). They counsel that a lot of the power obtained from ATP arises not from the power inside its bonds being damaged, however moderately from it inducing water to type a liquid crystalline construction. In essence, a lot of the power generated from ATP in the end arises from the radiant power which triggers these polymerizations (gels).
Section transitions are quite common in mobile biology, and whereas the sector doesn’t place a heavy emphasis on their significance, Pollack’s central argument in his first two books is that part transitions are obligatory to clarify many capabilities of the cell.
Notice: After I later mentioned my articles with Pollack, he knowledgeable me that the primary oversight along with his earlier analysis was that that they didn’t but know that the gels had been negatively charged, which in flip explains a wide range of the consequences they create (e.g., {the electrical} impulse of nerves).
Increasing Gels
One of many main makes use of for gels throughout the physique is from them to quickly develop and create results from that growth. For instance, cells incessantly excrete small spheres (often known as vesicles) containing essential elements, which upon exiting the cell quickly develop. Remoted mucin-producing vessels for instance bear a 600 fold growth in 40 milliseconds.
Previous to exiting the cell, the interior elements of the vesicle are cross linked collectively by Ca2+ (bear in mind, increased valence cations, by way of crosslinking gel proteins, will restrict gel formation whereas monovalent cations like sodium as a substitute are likely to develop them).
As soon as secreted from the cell, Ca2+ is eliminated and the gel quickly hydrates within the Na(1)+ resolution surrounding every cell. Conversely, gels won’t quickly develop in distilled water, and it has been noticed that liquid crystalline water’s formation can be diminished inside deionized water.
Notice: Some vesicles make the most of native environmental components to vary their part. For instance, histamine is a monovalent cation (cost of +1) at a impartial pH, however turns into a divalent cation (cost of +2) in an acidic pH. Researchers had been capable of present that histamine in an acidic atmosphere (as a consequence of its excessive valence state), causes shrinking of mast cell granules, whereas histamine in a impartial atmosphere permits their growth.
Muscle Physiology
Lots of the most typical issues for which sufferers hunt down physicians originate from the muscular tissues. Due to this, I’ve checked out loads of alternative ways to deal with these points. In flip, I’ve discovered fairly a number of that persistently work however I can’t clarify why as the present mannequin of muscle physiology can’t present a proof.
One of many main issues with medication (and infrequently science) is what I time period the “mechanistic lure.” Briefly it signifies that if there’s not a mechanism to clarify why one thing works, then it’s assumed to be a hoax and thought to not truly work. I feel this compulsive want for a mannequin is kind of silly, particularly since most of the fashions we make the most of to clarify why medication work, don’t truly make sense.
Equally, there are a lot of circumstances of a beforehand accepted mannequin for a drug’s mechanism that was discarded and changed with one other, and I do know of many extra examples the place an unorthodox mannequin seems to supply a a lot better rationalization for the mechanism of a remedy.
Notice: This additionally holds true for a lot of various non-drug therapies.
Sadly, it’s practically unimaginable to have the FDA (or many conventionally skilled physicians) be open to contemplating a remedy for analysis except a biochemical mechanism for it’s proposed. I imagine this can be a reflection of the actual fact pharmaceutical medication, as they’re designed to focus on sure enzymes within the physique, match into our inflexible mechanistic paradigm, whereas therapies with a broad spectrum of motion can’t be linked to a particular biochemical receptor nor as simply profited from.
Given all of this, I used to be overjoyed to find by way of Pollack that many features of the present mannequin for muscle physiology don’t make sense, and the anticipated outcomes of the mannequin don’t happen when rigorous experiments on muscular tissues are performed:
Nevertheless, an alternate mannequin for muscle physiology additionally exists. As we think about it, we must always remember the fact that muscular tissues are acknowledged to solely be able to contracting. Within the situations the place one thing within the physique wants to elongate, that is completed by having a muscle in the correct place shorten, and as a consequence of its place, create a lengthening elsewhere by way of doing so (e.g., the triceps within the arm).
From Pollack’s work, I spotted that whereas muscular tissues can solely create drive throughout a contraction, that is truly a results of the actual fact their elements can solely forcefully lengthen.
Pollack’s mannequin relies on the remark that relaxed muscular tissues comprise a considerable amount of structured water, whereas contracting muscular tissues primarily comprise water not in a semisolid gel state. Since it’s recognized that muscle firing follows the nerve sign directing calcium (Ca2+) ions to enter the muscle, this means a calcium induced part change might underlie the method.
Conversely, it is usually recognized (from the experiment beforehand described within the gradient part) that whereas muscle cells which have been minimize open can retain their potassium to sodium gradient whereas in a salt resolution, the components that lack ATP are unable to.
This implies that ATP is important for the liquid crystalline state of water to be current, because it excludes sodium ions from getting into the muscle cells. Equally, it is usually recognized that with out ATP, muscular tissues will stay caught within the contracted type and be unable to elongate, one thing that happens shortly after loss of life (termed “rigor mortis”).
Notice: One of many compelling anecdotal tales I’ve heard through the years is that when severely vaccine-injured kids die (e.g., these with lifelong debilitating autism) rigor mortis units in a lot quicker for them. Those that noticed this advised that these kids had a continual power deficit, and their our bodies had been struggling to make sufficient ATP to get by. I feel that is very attainable, nevertheless it may be indicative of poor zeta potential.
I believe this may additionally be seen with different continual debilitating diseases, however I’ve not interacted with the individuals who would have noticed if it did in truth happen.
Pollack additionally noticed that muscle adjustments in response to environmental components adopted a well-known crucial threshold being handed. This additionally appeared to counsel to Pollack {that a} part change was occurring throughout the muscular tissues.
So what’s Pollack’s mannequin? The muscular tissues fibers are designed to type massive gels round them, and as liquid crystalline water inside them expands, it stretches the uncoiled proteins within the fibers into helixes (till protein cross hyperlinks stop additional stretching). When the muscle must contract, calcium ions enter the muscle, eliminating the gels, and the proteins now not being lengthened elastically snap again to their unique uncoiled configuration.
To ensure that the gel to rebuild, ATP is required to interrupt the cross hyperlinks created by calcium and thereby set off a part shift that reconstructs the gel.
Thus, the energy of a muscle is a product of the potential power created by liquid crystalline water’s storage of radiant power being launched. Or put otherwise, the energy of muscular tissues truly lies of their capability to spontaneously lengthen and explains why many efficient muscular therapies I’ve come throughout work.
Massive mechanical shear causes the cytoskeleton matrix [another key structure that expands and contracts in response to phase changes] to fluidize, a phenomenon much like bodily rejuvenation in SGM’s [certain synthetic materials]. This fluidization is adopted by a sluggish scale- free restoration of mechanical properties, a phenomenon much like bodily getting old in SGMs.
Surprisingly in response to a transient stretch, the cytoskeleton fluidizes in a sample that’s common for various cell varieties. This discovering implicates mechanisms mediated not a lot by particular signaling pathways, as it’s often assumed, however moderately – as we clarify under – by non-specific actions of bodily forces.
Many different constructions even have the power for his or her inside gels to trigger growth and contraction, however in contrast to skeletal muscular tissues, usually, this growth and contraction is just not as tightly constrained as what’s noticed throughout the closely cross-linked skeletal muscular tissues.
Easy muscular tissues, in addition to contractile rings, artificial actin gels (actin is without doubt one of the most typical contractile proteins within the physique), and different organelles with few covalent cross hyperlinks and semi-random constructions are different examples of locations the place the physique makes use of this precept to maintain life.
Lastly, it has additionally been noticed that altering the encircling concentrations of salinity round different fibers (e.g., collagen) may cause them to develop and contract to the purpose they will generate a drive yielding contraction much like that of a muscle fiber.
Conclusion
There have been a number of central questions I’ve sought to deal with in my exploration of liquid crystalline water. On this collection, I sought a mechanism to clarify the remark in quite a few conventional medical methods that an inherent expansive drive exists all through the physique which performs a key function in offering its vitality and that when this expansive drive is compromised, a wide range of ailments set in.
I agree with this perception and have seen quite a few situations the place it turned attainable to acknowledge the place that life sustaining growth had been changed with a good compacted house, and likewise seen strategies that sought to revive that growth additionally restore a affected person’s vitality.
Conversely, I imagine the lack of mobility and sturdiness that accompanies getting old (and one of many greatest issues to elder sufferers) is straight associated to the lack of liquid crystalline water we sometimes expertise with age.
On this article, I’ve tried as an instance the structural results of liquid crystalline water throughout the physique, and it’s my hope that by way of doing so, I’ve offered a mechanism to clarify the place that expansive drive originates from. Within the subsequent a part of this collection, I clarify how water’s liquid crystalline state creates a gradient that may be harvested for power and creates the circulation life relies upon upon.
Within the article after that, I did my finest to clarify the intertwined relationship between liquid crystalline water and zeta potential, and within the closing a part of this collection I mentioned the strategies I’ve come throughout which seem to revive both.
Every of those subjects is kind of advanced (e.g., this text was a synthesis of quite a few books and articles), however in my view nonetheless essential to dive into for unravelling the mysteries of life. In flip, it’s my honest hope the widespread awakening that has occurred in our society because of COVID-19 can rekindle curiosity to discover unconventional topics like this.
I thank every of you for the eye you gave in making an attempt to understanding this comparatively advanced subject which is close to and pricey to my coronary heart. I sincerely hope that you can also undertake a few of its implications into your day by day life.
