Topic: Alexander Gurwitsch


  
  3rd Alexander Gurwitsch conference
Alexander Gavrilovich Gurwitsch (1874-1954), one of the most outstanding biologists of XX century, was in 1918-1924 a Professor of Histology in Taurida University.
The conference is adjusted to the 130 anniversary of Gurwitsch’s birthday and, at the same time, to the 100 anniversary of Academician Gleb Frank, a founder of the Institute of Biophysics, Russian Academy of Sciences.
Attending in 1920-24 the lectures in Taurida University, Frank was one of the closest Gurwitsch’s students and made an important contribution o the biophotonics.

 Biophoton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the 1920s, the Russian embryologist Alexander Gurwitsch reported "ultraweak" photon emissions from living tissues in the UV-range of the spectrum.
However, common biochemical techniques as well as the fact that cell growth can generally be stimulated and directed by radiation, though at much higher amplitudes, evoked a general skepticism about Gurwitsch´s assumption.
While they added some general chemistry to the hypothesis of photon emission, they did not address the more mysterious assumption of Gurwitsch that the photons themselves, forming the so-called mitogenic rays, stimulated cellular responses.

3rd Alexander Gurwitsch Conference on Biophotons and Coherent Systems in Biology, Biophysics and Biotechnology (from September 27th to October 2nd, 2004, in Simferopol and Partenit, Crimea).
Right there he made his most important discovery of an ultraweak photon emission from the living systems (which gave rise to the biophotonics) and submitted a first sketch of the morphogenetic field theory.
Attending in 1920-24 the lectures in Taurida University, Frank was one of the closest Gurwitsch’s students and made an important contribution to the biophotonics.

This "mitogenetic effect," as Gurwitsch termed it, continued to appear when a small quartz window, which is specifically transparent to ultraviolet light, was inserted between the two onion roots.
With several other experiments Gurwitsch was able to definitely prove that the medium of this mitogenetic effect was, in fact, a very weak ultraviolet radiation emanating from the tip of the first onion root.
In that context, Popp learned about Gurwitsch's work on mitogenetic radiation, and concluded that, if the assumed optical effect of benzpyrene were correct, then there must be some kind of light source in the cell, and very weak photon "signals" would be able to trigger drastic changes in the behavior of cells.

The latter is a new name for a broad category of traditional research subjects in biophysics.
In the 1930s, Russian scientist Alexander Gurwitsch discovered that plants weakly emit light, called biophotons.
He almost received the nobel prize for this discovery, but was passed over and the phenomenon was forgotten for some time.

Alexander Gurwitsch was the first to consider and experimentally demonstrate the crucial role of oxygen and its reactive species in the emerging of mitogenetic radiation.
According to him, oxidative reactions play also a central role in supplying a continuous influx of energy („pumping") for the formation and sustainment of highly non-equilibrium cytoplasmic „molecular constellations", which are the major store of free energy for the performing of all functions of living cells.
However, Gurwitsch ideas and factual evidence passed without notice for most biochemists, biophysicists and physiologists of his time and are practically unknown now.

 BioCharger - What Is
Gurwitsch produced an experimental demonstration of what he called "mitogenetic radiation", an infrared radiation that he claimed was localized to the mitochondria.
He observed this infrared radiation during peak periods of cellular division (the phase mitosis during which genes duplicate), and observed data that suggested that this infrared radiation was growth-promoting, whereas UV radiation from the DNA perhaps stimulated mitosis.
Recognizing that the language of the body is mostly electrical and not biochemical, B.E.S.T. Engineering reconstructed work performed in the early 1920’s by Professor Georges Lakhovsky.

 THE HISTORY OF BIORESONANCE THER
While researching the growth and development of onion plants, he found that something regulating the growth of the onion shoots could pass through quartz glass but not silicon glass.
Not until 50 years later was the technology was developed that could prove that Gurwitsch's radiation was actually biological ultraviolet light emitted from the onions' DNA.
Confirming Gurwitsch, in 1936 American astronomer and biologist, Gustav Stromberg, claimed that the structure and development of living beings are bound to "systems of not-material waves".

At about 1923 the Russian embryologist Alexander Gurwitsch discovered an "ultraweak" photon emission from living tissues in the UV-range of the spectrum.
After further scientists had been able to confirm his discovery, the University professor who has studied in Germany and was a well known and reputed scientist failed in getting the Nobel prize by missing only one vote.
During the second world war the mitogenetic radiation was forgotten, despite of that further Russian and Eastern European scientists continued to show evidence of a few emitted photons per second and per square centimeter from all living systems.

 History
One of the first to point toward light as the language of cellular communication was the Russian biologist Alexander G. Gurwitsch, back in 1922.
Just as the flame of a candle is able to jump from a lighted candle to ignite the wick of an unlit one, Gurwitsch observed that the cells of an onion stalk began the process of mitosis, the division into new cells, as soon as they were approached by the roots of another onion.
At the time, the popular theory was that the rate regulation of cell growth was the responsibility of chemical messenger molecules -- but Gurwitsch was convinced the “messenger” was actually light, in the form of a low-level luminescence he detected in living tissues.

Dozens of papers have been produced, and the baton of research has passed down to sucessive generations of the same family which made the breakthrough over sixty years ago.
Indeed, the Russians still publish on bioradiation; the most recent study I can find was published in 1982, by a descendant of Alexander Gurwitsch.
In 1923 Gurwitsch found that he could stimulate the growth of cells, and their division, by exposing them to radiations from an already growing organism.

 Ultraweak Photon Emission: Bioassa for growth factors
At the beginning of this century, Alexander Gurwitsch, born 125 year ago in Russia, suggested that ultraweak photons transmit information in living systems [1] as summaraized recently [2].
Although the results of Gurwitsch were refuted by Hollander and Klaus [3] and the interest for this subject declined in the following decades, the presence of biological radiation was re-examined with the development of photomultiplier tubes in the mid-fifties by Facchini and co-workers [4].
In the meantime it is commonly agreed that plant, animal and human cells emit ultraweak photons often called biophotons [11-17].

As far back as 1922, the Russian doctor and histologist Alexander Gurwitsch and his wife discovered that living cells separated by quartz glass were able to communicate vital-cell information.
Dr. Gurwitsch's mitogenic wave theory encouraged Nikola Tesla to develop a mitogenic impulse-wave therapy capable of curing cancer.
Now the pioneering work of Gurwitsch and Frank came to the fore, having been significantly advanced by Dr. Rife's universal microscope and mitogenic wave research.
