D. Rakovic et al., An overview of microwave resonance therapy and eeg correlates of microwaveresonance relaxation and other consciousness altering techniques, ELEC MAGNET, 19(2), 2000, pp. 195-222
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.
