The Human Hardware
What do I mean when I speak about the body hardware? In modern science, it is the physical infrastructure of our body and what governs its maintanance. The control of that hardware is hypothysized to be a field, the morphogenic field. How it is created and maintained is by the process of morphogenesis. The DNA is in control according to the convention but we have not, till date, found what algorithm controls the body size and shape and where it is located.
In ancient Indian medicine as well as in most other ancient medical sciences, infrastructure building and maintenance follows morphogenic rules. In the Indian sciences there is a concept of body types, which by itself embodies some properties. These body types are the Vatha, Pitha and Kapha. In ancient Greek medicine, which was followed until the last few centuries, the equivalent body-types are the Ectomorph, Mesomorph and the Endomorph.
The ancient people thought of the infrastructure as the material or physical entity and its control mechanism clumped together as one entity. When we look at the human body, we could see that it follows, almost all principles under which a multicellular organism operates. The cellular genes contains the hardware blueprint that is required to create a whole organism. The next question is how this information is translated in that organism;s shape or form? We know that the DNA codes stand mostly for the structural proteins. The infrastructural plan is nowhere to be found, or at least, not so far.
We know some more things. Each cell is a very complex information processor much like a super computer, operating at multiple levels, using multiple tools. Our cellular proteins are semiconductors. The DNA is a wide band semiconductor. The protein studded cell membrane is semi permeable which responds to cellular electricity. An electric charge difference exists between the external and internal surface of the membrane, and the sodium potassium pump maintains this charge difference. The individual cells {the supercomputers} are connected at the extracellular space primarily by collagen fibers, which in turn have semiconductor functions and intelligent connections such as ion channels, tight junctions and gap junctions. Taking all of these into consideration, we can see that the capacity of the cell to process information and to communicate that information to the other parts of the body is exceptional.
As a part of the collective, the cells are prevented from thinking solely about its own survival and to consider the collective organism’s needs above its own. So the individual cell has some individual roles and the collective assumes some overarching susaranity roles.
The next component of cellular intelligence is energy. The processing power demands a great chunk of energy and the brain uses 20% of body’s total energy production. Human body generates energy from, glycolysis with no mitochondrial involvement and the citric acid cycle, where the mitochondria is involved along with absorbing some energy from the surrounding radiations.
Normal cells depend mostly on citric acid cycle that occurs inside the mitochondria whereas, cancer cells depends mostly on glycolysis. The nucleus full of DNA is looking at information signals and aqequate energy production by the mitochondria for its need to generate information and raw material manufacture. When mitochondria are dysfunctional, the cellular energy production falls and cells acquires a tendency to turn malignant, spearheaded by the DNA.
The answer to this fall in total energy production is by providing the right nourishment for the mitochondria or if that method fails, offer alternative fuel sources such as fat instead of glucose as the main fuel. There are also options to supplement energy from melanin and infrared radiation. Melanin converts most radiations into extra mitochondrial ATP sources. Adequate energy supports the infrastructure of the body, and maintains the morphological integrity.
