Are our spirochetes just trying to swim to magnetic north? - or south, for that matter?

Here is another excerpt from `Cross Currents' by Dr. Robert Becker - page 72...

In 1975, Professor Richard Blakemore, also of Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory, became intrigued by the strange behavior of some bacteria he was studying.

Blakemore noticed that the bacteria always clustered at the north side of their culture dish. Even if he turned the dish so that they were at the south end and left it overnight, the next morning the bacteria were back at the north side.

While such ``magnetotrophic'' bacteria had been described before, no one had ever done what Blakemore did next: he looked at them under the electron microscope. What he found was astonishing.

Each bacterium contained a chain of tiny magnets! The magnets were actually crystals of the naturally magnetic mineral magnetite, the original lodestone of preliterate peoples.

Somehow, the bacteria absorbed the soluble components from the water and put them together in their bodies as the insoluble crystalline chain.

Later studies showed that this arrangement was of value to these bacteria, which lived in the mud on the bottom of shallow bays and marshes.

If they were moved by the tide or by storm waves, their magnetic chains were large enough (in comparison to their body size) to physically turn their bodies so that they pointed down at an angle corresponding to the direction of magnetic north.

All the bacteria had to do was swim in that direction, and sooner or later they would be back in the mud. This was an interesting mechanism, but it did not contain any sophisticated information transfer.

The bacteria did not ``know'' that north was the way to swim; they just did so. However, these observations opened up a much more interesting series of investigations...

I'd have to look for it in this book - but the author believes that humans have a more primitive analog - direct current (DC) - means of receiving information to heal and repair. This would correspond to earlier analog computers.

Now computers have digital components, and some hybrids are a combination of analog and digital components. We are also now surrounded by artificial alternating currents of enormous proportion - cell phones, wireless, satellite, radar, even ordinary house current.

The drawback of analog is that it is much slower and cannot carry as much information.

But what has the information age done to our ability to regenerate and kick Lyme and other infections that have this inborn magnetic sense?

Theoretically, my spirochete deserves to live every bit as much as I do. And in the right host, we all can live harmoniously.

Did the information age mess with nature? Will we really be able to kick Lyme as long as these dangerous fields exist?

More from 'Cross Currents' by Dr. Robert Becker - page 75...

"In several controversial experiments, Baker has shown that humans have an innate ability to sense the direction of magnetic north, and that this ability can be blocked by placing a bar magnet against a person's forehead for only 15 minutes! Baker also claims that a subjects directional sense is disturbed for as long as two hours after application of the magnet. Perhaps the strong field of the bar magnet disturbs the normal orientation of the magnetite crystals, resulting in a loss of directional-sensing ability until they return to their normal orientation. If Baker's experiments can be confirmed and evidence obtained for deposits of magnetite in the ethmoid sinus, it is probable that similar pathways extend from them to the brain, as have been found in other animals."
