Abstract
Microwave Resonance Therapy (MRT) is a novel medical treatment representing a synthesis of the ancient Chinese traditional knowledge in medicine (acup uncture) and recent breakthroughs in biophysics. MRT affects the appropriat e acupuncture points by the generation of high-frequency microwaves (52-78 GHz); remarkable clinical results are being achieved. In this paper, the qu antum-like macroscopic biophysical bases of MRT are elaborated, offering ne w insights into the mechanisms of the assembling gap junction hemichannels on the internal microwave (MW) electromagnetic field spatiotemporal maxima at the temporary position of the acupuncture system, and hence insights int o the biophysical nature of temporary psychosomatic health or disease. Such a picture also supports an electromagnetic/ionic "optical" ultra-low-frequ ency modulated MW quantum holographic neural network-like function of the a cupuncture system (similar to complex-valued oscillatory holographic, Hopfi eld-like neural networks), and its essential relation to consciousness, as strongly suggested from biophysical modeling of altered states of conscious ness. Finally, our electroencephalographic (EEG) investigations showed more or less characteristic EEG features in many subjects when relaxation was i nduced by MRT applied to corresponding acupuncture points, as well as by so me other activities that may alter consciousness (transcendental meditation , musicogenic states, healer/healee noncontact interaction, drowsiness), de monstrating that EEG may permit rapid and reproducible identification of di fferent states of consciousness, which could be useful in evaluating the ef fectiveness of consciousness altering techniques and related stress reducti on.
