A New Concept of Biotensegrity Incorporating Liquid Tissues: Blood and Lymph
Bruno Bordoni et al. The definition of fascia includes tissues of mesodermal derivation, considered as specialized connective tissue: blood and lymph. As water shapes rocks, bodily fluids modify shapes and functions of bodily structures. Bodily fluids are silent witnesses of the mechanotransductive information, allowing adaptation and life, transporting biochemical and hormonal signals. While the solid […]
Biotensegrity – The Mechanics of Fascia
Stephen M. Levin Fascia is the fabric of the body; not the vestments, covering the corpus, but the warp and weft of the material. The other tissues, muscle and bone, liver and lung, gut and urinary, brain and endocrine, are embroidered into the fascial fabric. Remove all other tissues from their fascial bed and the […]
Biotensegrity: The Structural Basis of Life
Graham Scarr … In order to properly understand health, dysfunction and disease we must first examine how the body is organized—the architecture of the system and the way that it operates—and that means starting at the beginning. Biotensegrity is increasingly recognized as a more thorough explanation of the mechanics of motion. It examines the basic […]
Lead in Food: A Hidden Health Threat
Environmental Defense Fund No safe level of lead in blood has been identified. In children, even very low blood lead levels can cause behavioral problems and lower IQ. Protecting children’s ability to learn and thrive demands that we find effective ways to reduce exposures to lead from all sources. Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) analyzed 11 […]
Illuminating Water and Life
Mae-Wan Ho This paper reviews the quantum electrodynamics theory of water put forward by Del Giudice and colleagues and how it may provide a useful foundation for a new science of water for life. The interaction of light with liquid water generates quantum coherent domains in which the water molecules oscillate between the ground state […]
Effect of Health-Promoting Agents on Exclusion-Zone Size
Abha Sharma et al. It is now well-confirmed that hydrophilic surfaces including those within the cell generate structural changes in water. This interfacial water is ordered and acquires features different from the bulk. Amongst those features is the exclusion of colloidal and molecular solutes from extensive regions next to the hydrophilic surface, thereby earning it […]
Could Vitamin D Help Ward Off Suicide?
Joseph Mercola Suicide is a serious public health risk and the 12th leading cause of death in the U.S. A 2023 study of U.S. veterans found those with vitamin D de ciency who were prescribed vitamin D had a 64% lower risk of suicide when compared to those who didn’t take a supplement. This adds […]
Routine Dental Extractions Routinely Produce Cavitations
Thomas E. Levy and Hal A. Huggins Cavitations (CVs) are persistent holes found at the extraction sites of permanent teeth after apparent healing has taken place. Current dental literature considers this common phenomenon to be rare. In the scientific literature, CVs have a plethora of synonyms. They have been variably labeled as Ratner, Roberts or […]
