 GIANT GROUITH UJITH LASER LIGHT

 Alma-Ata,  the capital of the Kazakh 5SR,  was the scene of
 an unusual conference in October 1976.   Its theme was fron-
 tier areas of science.                                Scott Hill,  (cf. picture),  an Esotera
 staffer,  was one of three guests from the  Jest invited to this
 meeting because of their close contacts with Soviet scientists.
 In this part of his detailed report,  he describes Russian re-
 sults with the use of laser light for promotion of plant growth.
 /Text7 During the author's stay at the Congress on Frontier
 sciences held in Alma-Ata in 1976,  he had occasion to take
 various meals which included vegetables.   The vegetables were
 from the agricultural research station operated at the con-
 ference site.   He learned that the vegetables had been treat-
 ed with laser light.   According to Or Inyushin,  who at 35 is
 the youngest biology professor in the USSR,  plants grow more
 rapidly,  attain a larger size and bear more fruit after they
 (or only the seeds)  have been irradiated for a short time with
 laser light.   This is not an insignificant increase of 1 or
 2 percent but one on the order of 30 percent. This is of
 course taken very seriously in a country that must import its
 food at a time of inflationary rates on the international food
 market.
 The author discovered by chance that this technique had also
 been used since 1970 by a team of Australian scientists who,
 as strange as it appears did not have any knowledge of the
 Russian work (at least they cited only British sources in
 their report which appeared in the British, science magazine
 Nature.)  This constituted a slight puzzle: Who had actually
 discovered this technique?   The author found at least five
 different groups in various parts of the world that appeared

 to have stumbled on the same thought independently and  begun
 experimental development.   There were two groups in Test Ger-
 many,  one in Australia,  one in Hungary and of course the Soviets
 themselves.   Did they know about  each other?   The author found
 it strange that none of the groups mentioned written refe-
 rences to any other group in their reports.   Concomitant dis-
 coveries -- synchronism or stealing of ideas?   The author does
 not know yet.
 In Part II of this report ("Light Surgery," Esotera p 107,
 2/77),  we explained that patients showed noteworthy improve-
 ment when they are treated with laser beams.   The individuals
 involved of course knew that they were receiving this therapy
 and probably thought that it should help them.   Could it be
 (as some skeptics assume) that the disease was cured by psy-
 chosomatic factorsor more precisely by auto-suggestion?   In
 this modern age when physicians are beginning to think about
 the fact that nearly all diseases,  including cancer,  have at
 least one psychosomatic component,  could it not be that this
 knowledge,  even if it remains unconscious,  might have pro-
 duced the amazing results.   A clearcut method of checking
 this would be to use lower forms of life where there is no
 "psyche",  for exaple in the plant kingdom.   We shall there-
 fore consider "Gurvich radiation"  (cf.  Part I,  "Healing With
 Light",  Esotera,  p 13,  1/77)  in greater details
 Detection ^f mitogenetic Radiation
 Although the use of "biological detectors" is the simplest way
 to detect effects of mitogenetic radiation,  many biologists
 found this procedure unsatisfactory.   However, several early
 investigators such as Rodionov and Frank (1934) and the Germans
 Siebert and Seffert (1936)  were able to detect UV emission in
 cells with the use of gas-discharge counters. Russian research-
 ers have been using "photomultipliers" that count photons since
 1957.
 It is not easy to count small quantities of photons.   The mito-
 genetic rays are very weak and they adhere closely to the "back-
 ground" rays.   Consequently,  the photon detectors must be cooled
 to very low temperatures (liquid nitrogen or even liquid hydro-
 gen)  in order to reduce the "dark current" enough so that 105 pho-
 tons/sq cm can be detected.    This is a very small flow of photons.
 It therefore took until the mid-sixties for cooling technology
 to be sufficiently developed to obtain reliable detection.
 A few other unusual circumstances associated with Gurvich radia-
 tion made it difficult to accept the matter as a real phenomenon.

 There was the fact that only weak rays could be used.   If the
 UV light on the biological material was too strong,  the effect
 was impeded.   The cellular chain reaction of mitoses (cell
 nucleus divisions)  also stopped if the volume of the cell
 culture was reduced below a "critical mass."   Both reverse
 tendencies contributed to making the entire matter appear
 ridiculous.   However,  if we consider them in the proper way,
 these aspects make it possible to understand the true mechanism
 of the Gurvich effect.
 The parameters of "dark" chemoluminescence in the UV range
 are connected with certain properties of the light-emitting
 molecule,  such as its structure,  probabilities and energy quan-
 ties in electronic transmission and binding properties.   Rus-
 sian investigators suspect that weakly bound electrons and
 groups of free radicals play a part and they therefore developed
 a special theory of "bioplasma",   which allegedly serves as an
 explanation for the weak reciprocal effect.
 To demonstrate that the radiation exists is one thing.   How-
 ever,  it is quite a different matter to show that the emission
 and absorption of UV is one of the control mechanisms in the
 cell rather than a rare and random effect on the system in
 question.   Could the "mitogenetic radiation" be a type of "waste
 light," the excess photons from a much stronger energetic pro-
 cess?   Hence,  e.g.  the mere observation that the emission of
 several cells affects other cells does not yet signify that
 such an effect is of any biological importance.   Similarly,
 the theoretical possibility of transference of extensive infor-
 mation at frequencies in the visible range of electromagnet
 radiation (light) does not encompass the fact that the informa-
 tion required for activation and control of the various cyto-
 chemical* processes is received in precisely this manner (this
 is assumed for example by Kasnachejev and his associates).   Can
 mitosis be transmitted and received like a radio broadcast?
 We must bear the above in mind in the discussion of (even)
 wilder conclusions that were suggested from the work of Gurvich-
 Kasnachejev by the Norwegian physician V.  Schjelderup.   He notes
 that if a bacterial culture ^r cell culture is intoxicated or
 infected with a virus and if a neighboring culture dies due to
 some reciprocal  electromagnetic action,  it is not the virus
 itself which kills but the electromagnetic representation ^f this
 virus.   Ultimately,  this means that with suitable techniques

 this electromagnetic "image" of the virus can perhaps be
 emitted by television to infect cultures -- or humans(?),
 that are very far away.
 We hasten to add that this was in no way demonstrated as
 a possibility.   mitogenetic radiation is effective only over
 short distances of a few centimers and there is no certainty
 that this radiation can be transmitted by television,  much
 less in the proper dosage.   However,  all research in this
 area is not openly published.   The saying goess  a little know-
 ledge is a dangerous thing...                               However,  the final results may
 turn out,  Soviet biologists concur that these reciprocal ef-
 fects should continue to be studied.   Scientists in Kazakhstan
 have applied the theory in experiments to increase the produc-
 tivity of plant growth in agriculture and in medical research
 for new therapeutic procedures.   It is only a matter of time
 until biologists in the West reach the same conclusions.
 Ten Million Cells Per Second
 The German biophysicist Dr Fritz A.  Popp has already carried
 out theoretical work on the subject at Marburg University
 (cf.  also Bild der Wissenschaft,  Jan.  1976).   Popp points out
 that in the human body more than ten million cells die every
 second.   Normally,  these cells must be replaced by new cells,
 which are created from the old cells by the process of mitosis.
 Whatever the system that regulates this equilibrium may be,
 it must be controlled in a very sensitive manner and it must
 "know" at any given time how many dead cells are to be replaced.
 Could electromagnetic waves be the answer?
 Although the medical significance of the use of laser biosti-
 mulation is sufficiently puzzling,  other developments related
 to the malthusian* growth of the population and the flattening
 curve of food production may be more important.   The satirical
 author Jonathan Swift had a solutions  Instead of producing more
 and more children we should eat them!   Governments must develop
 plans that are more feasible, such as methods geared to an in-
 crease in the size of foods. Whoever can claim to produce such
 an increase,  even if it is only one percent, would earn a govern-
 ment prize and a substantial salary besides.
 Giant Fruits of the Future
 In Kazakhstan,  laser-stimulated tomatoes were enlarged to
 half a kilogram.   The tomatoes tasted by the author also had

 an extraordinarily sweet taste.   Apples were routinely en-
 larged in Kazakhstan to weights of one kilogram and more,
 even without the aid of lasers.   Tomatoes weighing half a
 kilogram do not appear as large there as they do to us.
 According to even more recent data -- and perhaps independent
 of the Russian,  several Australian plant physiologists in
 Adelaide discovered that their young cabbate plants appeared
 to develop somewhat more when a weak red light shone on them
 (actually less than three milliwatts),  and even when the laser
 was directed at the earth from more than a quarter of a mile
 away (approximately 400 m).   In their report (cf Nature,  1970),
 they described this development as quietly as if   h y were ex-
 plaining the newest fertilizer,  even though they were working
 with illumination periods of only 1-3 seconds when exposing
 the  cabbage seeds.   The "response reached a maximum at approxi-
 mately 100 seconds of illumination;  however,  illumination pe-
 riods of more than 1000 seconds impeded the reaction.   The
 results are not limited to cabbages   -- a fortunate thing for
 the Australian population which would have a hard time if it
 wanted to get used to a diet of borscht.
 Dther plant types,  such as the Japanese morning glory (Phra-
 bitus nil Chois var. Viltet),  altered their morphological
 development in response to the red laser light.   The Australian
 scientists carried out experiments indicating that the light
 activates the "phytochrome system," i.e.  a photosensitive me-
 chanism that occurs in the entire plant kingdom.   The Australians
 discovered this by chance when they used ordinary flood lights
 to illuminate barley fields at night.   They observed that the
 period in which the field of crops matured could be significantly
 reduced by three to four weeks.   They were lucky when they
 tried it with laser light.
 Since lasers with an output range of 2 milliwatts are in the
 meantime being manufactured commercially and cost only between
 $100-$500,  the time is perhaps not far away when every gardner
 will add a little "light treatment" to the usual watering and
 fertilization.   The Australian investigators have been working
 on these problems since 1970,  and the Russians since 1963.
 Light -- The Key to the Cancer Problem
 Or Fritz A. Popp of Marburg University pointed out the possi-
 bility that a specific energy transmission between a "cancer
 producer" and a biological receptor organ might be animpor-
 tant and perhaps the decisive step in the development of cancer.
 In summary,. his theory is thathumans lose ten million cells
 per second,  the loss of which can be compensated by super
 rapid information.   Modulated sound and light waves transmit

 as biosignals between the cells the information required for
 regulation of cellular growth.. According to Or Popp,  "Incor-
 rect information causes cancer."
 This finding appears to concur with the work of the earlier
 Gurvich group,  but not with that of the more recent investi-
 gations in Alma-Ate.   Or Popp appears to have reached the
 same direction of thoughtindependent of the Soviet investi-
 gators.   For as previously indicated,  light is involved in
 his considerations regarding the process of cancer develop-
 ment as the conveyer of the bio-information which,  when it
 is incorrect perhaps gives rise to cancerous cell prolifera-
 tion.
