READERS SUMMARY:
1. HOW CAN AN IMAGE OF PROTONS TELL US A TON ABOUT YOUR REDOX POTENTIAL IN YOUR CELLS?
Today’s blog is stimulated by a challenge I received during the epic 12.5 hour Q & A that occurred after a talk I gave in Pasadena in September. During the period an older radiologist challenged my statement that there was no way that I could look at a MRI image of one of my patients and deduce anything about their diseases, physiology, anatomy, or redox potential. The topic came up because I casually mentioned some of my MRI bio-hacking tricks of the trade to diagnose osteopenia and osteoporosis to another anesthesiologist who was in our group. I explained to both physicians the more data we can pull out tests already done on patients the better prepared we can be for things we may face in our treatment plans. The anesthesiologist seemed to get that insight, because he understands in surgery we need to prevent problems before they occur by any means possible to gain extraordinary outcomes. I wish I could say the same for our radiologist colleague.
Tap the wisdom in you before you have to rely on anyone else.
To be able to see or appreciate something, you must first know or believe it exists, or at least ,not have preconceived ideas that it just can’t happen. Here is where the rubber meets the road in this teaching point.
I assured him that it was not only possible but based upon a scale of science he or I did not learn in medical school or residency. I believe I infuriated him when I told him that I believed he was a sucker to his beliefs that were given to him by his mentors in radiology. I know it was an “ego blow” to have a surgeon tell him, that something he was “expert in” reading had a lot more depth of information about matter and energy than he could fathom.
So today’s blog is about going back to the fundamental science he just could not accept.
In 1952, the Noble Prize was given to Felix Bloch and Edward Mills who introduced the concept of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to chemistry and physics in 1946. The quantum idea buried at the heart of the NMR is that one can volunarily “force” the alteration of atomic orientation of atoms by altering the orientation of the magnetic moment of all atomic nuclei. We can do this by entering into a resonance with them. A resonance is a frequency, oscillation or vibration. When we enter a resonance with atomic nuclei, we can modify their overall magnetization by giving them a specific energy in the form of a radio wave at a very precise frequency.
It is important to point out that not all atomic nuclei are capable of being magnetized. Those made up of an even number of protons and neutrons do not have a magnetic moment. When the number of both is even, magnetic effects are nullified within the atomic nucleus. I turns out that life uses this to create stability. This is why C14 and O16 are key atoms of proteins in use that are designed to be long lasting and stable in our magnetic field on earth. This also happens to be why radiologists have fallen in love with the H proton for image generation for MRI’s. Hydrogen forms 2/3 of water molecules, is abundant in us, and makes up 99% of the molecules by number in our body. Water happens to make up 80% of the brain’s mass. We have 30 millions of billions of water molecules in us!
The EMF Part
Since the frequency of the resonance of waves emitted by the atomic nuclei is wholly dependent upon the magnetic field it is found in, we can see the images of the actions of these nuclei when the field is progressively altered. This is how gradient images are mapped to make image we neurosurgeons use every day. If you’re reading between the lines, you can also see you can tell when someone lives in a very altered electromagnetic field too!!!. You will see marked abnormalities in their tissues that are not explained by their age or disease status. This was my big clue why osteopenia epidemic was linked linked to our non native EMF exposures. Non native EMF fields also cause alterations to the magnetic field and those changes are transmitted to atoms in us!!!! The coils in an MRI machine are used to generate different magnetic fields to make pictures. In disease states, people also face different magnetic fields, but few radiologists realize this, but the data is in the images. The coils in you (nucleic acids), electric circuits you face now daily like ipods, laptops and TV’s generate the non native magnetic fields to cause disease in you. Native magnetic field signals are blocked by non native EMF signal’s.
This data is not new, just unknown in medicine.
For those of you were there in Pasadena, you can see why I scoffed and just moved on from his questions. He fundamentally had no clue how MRI images were generated using physics, so he had no educational basis to tell me I could not do what I do with MRI’s in the clinic. That is how dogma blocks us from progress in medicine. I believe we can teach clinicians this interpretative science to allow them to become expert in determining the redox potential of their patients tissues by looking more critically at their MRI images.
Often these images are already done for other reasons, which makes them more cost effective. Moreover, we can fact check my interpretations and theories if we use MRI spectroscopy. This test will allow us to reconstruct 3D atomic structure of molecules that we can harvest via percutaneous procedures done for other reasons. MRI spectroscopy extends our insight by also allowing us to develop a temporal dynamic for the molecule in question. Richard Ernest won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for deducing this fancy quantum mechanism out, but it seems few radiologists are learning to use it as I have. The science is there, but you must taken the science already discovered and look at it a different way, to consider something in a new way no one has thought about before. This is what an innovator does.
Well, I am in Asia and jet lagged after 28 hours of travel. I will be giving several talks to hundreds of interested physicians so you can expect another blog down the pike about this experience. I am appreciative of the chance to spread the message of how we can use physics to change our biology and our life. Here is a flyer from my talk later today.
Create the world you want.
