A new and important application of very short wave-lengths
is described in this article by one of the leading French
scientists.
The new application of short wave-length oscillations
described in
this article is one of the most important ever
found, and we are pleased
to present to our readers this article
by Mr.George Lakhovsky, the well known
French scientist.
The experiments described were carried out in collaboration
with several doctors and scientists of high standing and it seems
from
results obtained, that the very high frequency treatments
will play an important
role in the future.
We shall publish in a later issue another article
on this
new system, together with the effects of ultra radio frequencies
in the treatment of other diseases in human beings.
Since November,
1923, I have published in various technical
and radio publications, several
papers in which I explained my
theory that the instinct or special feeling,
which permits birds
to direct themselves in space, is only the results of
the
emission and reception of rays by living beings.
While developing
this theory, I explained how thoroughly I
was convinced that science will
discover, some day, not only the
nature of microbes but the radiation which
they produce, but also
a method of killing disease bacilli within the human
body by
means of the proper radiations.
The researches I have made
by means of special apparatus
have shown such results, that I believe my theory
to be correct.
This theory is that life is born from radiations, kept going
by
radiation and suppressed by any accident producing the
destruction
of the oscillatory equilibrium, especially by the
radiations of certain microbes,
which suppress those of the
weaker cells.
Before going any further
in our reasoning, it is necessary,
in order to present the facts to the uninitiated
reader, to
imagine what oscillations really are.
The motion of a pendulum
will be used for this explanation.
When a pendulum is displaced from the position
of equilibrium, it
moves back and forth producing what are known as synchronous
oscillations, until the energy stored is entirely exhausted. By
means of a
motor, a spring, or an electro-magnet, it is possible
to keep the motion of
the pendulum of constant amplitude,
producing undamped oscillations.
If, on the contrary, the source of power is removed, the
oscillations die
down and it is necessary not only to re-apply
the power sustaining the oscillations,
but also to furnish
additional energy to start the pendulum in motion. This
oscillation of a pendulum reproduces exactly what happens in the
cells of
a living being.
----------------------------------------------------------------
BODY COMPOSITION
Our organs are composed of cells formed of protoplasm
containing various mineral matters and acids, such as iron,
chloride, phosphorous,
etc. It is by the combination of these
elements that the cells detect outside
waves and vibrate
continuously at a very high frequency, probably higher than
the
period of X-rays or over all other vibrations known and measured
today.
The amplitude of cell oscillations must reach a certain
value, in order that
the organism be strong enough to repulse the
destructive vibrations from certain
microbes.
The astrophysicians are actually carrying out experiments of
great interest on the existence of vibrations, which have been
called penetration
rays and of which the frequency is higher than
that of X-rays and of the alpha,
beta and gamma rays of radium.
Such rays, according to the theory, are
produced by the
earth itself and some others come from outside space.
Accurate measurements have proven the correctness of this
theory. Therefore,
it is quite permissible to believe that these
penetration rays, or at least
some of them, produce the vibratory
motion of living cells and consequently
their life.
For instance, let us suppose a cell vibrates at a certain
frequency and a microbe vibrates at a different frequency; the
microbe begins
to fight the cell through radiation, and sickness is started
If the cell
cannot repel the stronger vibrations and if the
amplitude of its own vibration
is forced to decrease, the microbe
gains in amplitude and its vibrations begin
to decrease and stop
those of the cells, bringing on dangerous sickness or
death.
If, on the contrary,the living cell is started vibrating
with
the proper amplitude by inside or outside causes, the
oscillatory attack is
repulsed. Such is my theory.
The problem is somewhat similar to the situation
in which a
rescuer finds himself when, coming to help a friend in a
dangerous
situation,finds himself fighting hand to hand against
strong aggressors. The
rescuer does not dare to fire his gun,
fearing to harm his friend mixed up
with the aggressors in the
melee.
Similarly, microbes and healthy cells
are all exposed to
electric or radio-active action, which could be used to
destroy
the unwanted rays and it is difficult to suppress them without
harming or killing at the same time the cells which are to be
treated. In
fact, since Pasteur, scientists have been constantly
searching for a means
of destroying microbes.
The great difficulty with all methods found was that
in
destroying, the bacillae cell was attacked too. The experience
gained
in cancer and tuberculosis treated with radium, X-rays, or
ultra-violet rays,
shows how difficult is the world of the
investigators.
----------------------------------------------------------------
A NEW METHOD
The remedy in my opinion, is not to kill the microbes in
contact with the healthy cells, but to reinforce the oscillations
of the cell
either directly by reinforcing the radio activity of
the blood or in producing
on the cells a direct action by means
of the proper rays.
During January,
1924, I began to build, according to this
theory, and with the purpose of
therapeutic applications, an
apparatus, which I have called the Radio-Cellulo-Oscillator,
with
the firm belief that the cells vibrating at extremely short wave-
lengths would find their own in the Hertzian waves, which have
the properties
of producing extremely short harmonics.
The cell with very weak vibrations,
when placed in the field
of multiple radiations, finds its own frequency and
starts again
to oscillate normally through the phenomenon of resonance.
This type of vibration are produced by the radio waves which
I propose to
use, is harmless, unlike those of x-rays and radium.
Their application, therefore,
does not present any danger for the
operator.
I exposed in front of
my apparatus, during long periods, a
certain number of microbes in culture,
which developed themselves
normally. I, myself, have never felt the effect
of these ultra
radio frequencies, although I remained for a great many
days near
the apparatus, during the treatment applied to the living cells.
It is only when two living beings such as a cell and a
microbe, are in contact,
that the rays produced by the Radio-
Cellulo-Oscillator have any direct effect
upon cellular
structure.
The experiments which I carried out at the
Salpetriere
Hospital in Paris, in the service and with the collaboration of
Prof. Gosset, were made with plants inoculated with cancer, and
the results
were described in a paper presented on July 26, last
year, before the Biological
Society. The text of this paper
follows.
"One knows that it is
possible to produce by inoculation
of Bacterium tumefaciens in plants, tumors
similar to
those of cancer in animals.
One of us obtained experimentally
by this method, a great
number of tumors. These had various degrees of
development. Some of them dry up partially, but do not
die entirely until
the entire plant or at least the limb
bearing the tumor dies.
Even
removed by surgical methods, these tumors grew again
on the sick limb."
----------------------------------------------------------------
THE RADIO CELLULO-OSCILLATOR
"We propose to describe in this paper, the action
of
electromagnetic waves of very high frequency obtained by
means of the
Radio Cellulo-Oscillator of George
Lakhovsky.
This apparatus produces
wave-lengths of the order of two
meters and less, corresponding to 150 million
cycles per
second.
A first plant was submitted to the effect of the
radiation one month after being inoculated with cancer;
at this time small
tumors of the size of a cherry stone
were visible upon it. This plant was
submitted to the
rays twice, for three hours each time.
During the
following days, the tumors continued to grow
rapidly in the same ways as those
on plants, which had
not been submitted to the effect of radiations. However,
16 days after the first treatment, the tumors began to
shrink and dry up.
A few days later the tumors were entirely dried up and
could be very easily
detached from the limb of the plant
by merely touching them.
The drying
action of the radio frequency radiations is
selective and affects only the
sick part of the plant.
Even the inside sick tissues were destroyed, although
they were next to healthy cells in the center of the
limb, showing that the
radiations had not affected the
healthy parts."
----------------------------------------------------------------
THE LENGTH OF TREATMENT
"Another plant was treated in the same way,
except that it
was exposed 11 times, for three hours each time, to the
radiations of the oscillator.
Sixteen days after the first exposure the
tumors, which
were rather large as shown in one of the photographs,
began
to shrink and dry up and were easily detached from
the limb exactly as in
the first case.
Again in this a case, the healthy parts of the plant were
not affected in the least.
A third plant exposed to the radiations for
nine hours,
that is, three treatments of three hours each, was cured
in
the same manner as the two others.
Sixteen plants also innoculated with
cancer, were left
without treatment. They have tumors in full activity,
several of which are very large.
These experiments show conclusively that
plants
innoculated with cancer an be treated and cured by means
of the
ultra radio frequency vibrations, whereas surgical
treatment fails.
"In conclusion I wish to call the attention of the reader
to the fact
that I have obtained very conclusive results
not only with a wavelength of
two meters, but with longer
and shorter wave-lengths. The main thing is to
produce
the greatest number of harmonics possible."
Such are the
results of my researches with plants. At the
present time, similar experiments
are being carried out with
animals and it seems that the effect on cancerous
animals is the
same as on cancerous plants.
I am highly pleased
to present my theory and the results of
my work in a scientific review of
the United States, this great
country, which has always been in the lead in
the fight against
this terrible sickness, cancer, and whose sympathy and help
I
would greatly appreciate...
