MIT professor of quantum mechanical enegineering, Seth Lloyd, explains the quantum nature of energy transport in living organisms in "Quantum Biology: Better Living Through Quantum Mechanics." NOVA, The Nature of Reality, Mar. 10, 2014.

Spurred by a 2007 paper in the journal Nature reporting on the quantum-computating abilities of green sulphur-breathing bacteria, Professor Lloyd and his colleagues developed "a general theory of how quantum walks in photosynthesis can use the wavelike nature of quantum mechanics to attain maximum efficiency." 

In photosynthesis, a quantum particle of energy is generated when photons are absorbed by molecules sensitive to light (chromosphores). These particles, or "excitons," hop from one chromosphore to the next until they arrive at a reaction center, where the energy of the exciton is transformed into energy cells can utilize.  Dr. Lloyd and his colleagues observed that the exciton's journey to the reaction center occurs in hops and waves, showing how living organisms master quantum coherence and decoherence for maximum efficiency in energy transfer.

While this quantum movement has thus far only been observed by mainstream science in plants and other photosynthetic organisms, Professor Lloyd wonders, "If quantum hanky panky is so effective, are there other living beings that take advantage of quantum effects to live better and have more offspring?"

From a bioenergetic medicine perspective, of course the answer to Dr. Lloyd's question is a resounding, "Yes!"  The wavelike nature of quantum particles in living beings gives rise to energetic fields, with which many forms of energy medicine interact to promote coherence and ultimately, healthy balance.

Brian Greene and Alan Alda discuss Einstein's extreme discomfort with the early 20th century's newly emerging concepts of quantum mechanics on stage at the 2014 World Science Festival's production of Dear Albert. Brian Greene explains how Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity grew out of an attempt to dismiss quantum mechanics -- a theory Einstein set forth in his own discovery on "the photoelectric effect" for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize.

A new study recently published by the American Physiological Society (Sundman E, Olofsson PS Adv Physiol Educ. 2014 Jun;38(2):135-9.), demonstrates how traditional understanding of the bioenergetic connections in the body is slowly inching toward an integration of quantum biology.

Based on the premise that the nervous system regulates both organ system stability (homeostasis) and the immune system, stimulation of the vagus nerve was shown to alleviate "experimental shock and autoimmune disease" and also improved rheumatoid arthritis symptoms (Sundman).  This finding has stimulated interest in the therapeutic use of electrical impulses to activate nervous system regulation of immune function.

On a Bioenergetic Note...

Scientists have known for the last many years that the immune and nervous systems dynamically intersect in the spleen, which manufactures immune cells, and that stimulating the vagus nerve has been shown to have a normalizing effect on the spleen (Science Daily, 2008).  From a bioenergetic perspective, the Sundman findings, with regard to alleviating "experimental shock" and autoimmunity through stimulation of this nerve/spleen pathway, correlate to the spleen's energetic function of managing shock processes in the body.

Upon first looking into science, you get the impression that it is cut and dried and well arranged, and somehow timeless and satisfying because of that.  In fact, scientists like to imagine that this is so because they are great truth-seekers and none of them want anything to change too much or too quickly and upset their power base in the knowledge game.

As life goes on, you realise, as I have, that science as it stands does not give us quite the solidity we want it to and still suffers from some severe practical problems.  Among the most severe problems for me is the fact that the theory of orthodox medicine and the theory of physics don't match up, and that the problem is not a little problem of some ragged edges or grey areas, but wide-ranging in its scope.  There is a historical reason for this:  allopathic medical theory developed from the ideas of industrial chemistry and was backed by an industry wanting to use chemicals for agriculture and medicine, while modern quantum physics, the science underlying bioenergetic medicine, did not develop fully until much later, the mid-1920s, and does not link to biology.

In this lecture I shall show how the cleavage continues, having been maintained willingly by both groups of scholars, with the result that there is a massive disconnect in medicine, as well as severe disarray in the physics of space.
