INTERACTIONS WITH SCALAR ENERGY-
CELLULAR MECHANISMS OF ACTION
Dr. Glen Rein
U.S.A.
Recent direct experimental data as well as sophisticated computer-enhanced
mathematical analyses of pre-existing data has revealed the predominance
of non-linear processes in biological systems(1). These new findings are a
dramatic departure from traditional theories which indicate that
-
biochemical reactions are at or near a state of equilibrium and that cells
function in a linear, dispersive and degenerative manner. Electrochemical
oscillations between membrane-bound lipids near phase-transition
temperatures have been reanalyzed with the aid of powerful computers and
shown to be most accurately described by nonlinear quantum mechanical
equations(2). Similar analyses of coupling between harmanic oscillators
represented by action potentials generated from active neuronal networks
in the-central nervous system has revealed their non-linear nature(3).
Several types of quasi-particles, each with their own characteristic
resonant frequencies, have been proposed to mediate these non-linear
phenomenon, including solitons, excitons and plasmons. Biological solitons
have received the most attention and have been postulated to be carriers
of biological information along macromolecules like. DNA(4) and
alpha-helical intramembrane proteins involved with signal transduction
mechanisms (5) . Furthermore, solitons have been postulated to mediate the
coherent electronic excitations associated with the action of ultra-violet
and visible light on biological systems(6) and the calcium-dependent
cooperative interactions between extracellular glycoproteins on the
surface of the plasma membrane in response to weak ELF electromagnetic
(EM) radiation(5).
In light of the non-linear nature of biological systems, it .seems
likely that they should be highly sensitive to non-linear forms of
acoustic and electromagnetic radiation in the environment and that the
right frequencies of non-linear energies might have profound healing
properties. Exogenous non-linear energies were first utilized by Nicholas
Tesla in 1899 in his famous Colorado Springs experiments where he
demonstrated the transmission of his "Tesla waves" without energy loss (7).
These non-Hertzian longitudinal waves have since been studied in
hydrodynamics, geology and astrophysics. The extraction of scalar
components from Maxwell's original electromagnetic equations(8,9) and from
Schrodinger's equations using imaginary numbers(10) has recently been
reported. The unusual properties of these non-linear waves have also been
described by other investigators(8,11,12) . However, relatively little
attention has been given to their effects on biological systems. Due to
the non-linear nature of biological systems it was proposed that scalar
waves should be more biologically active than their linear electromagnetic
counterparts (13). A recent report by the author proposed a new theory, the
Crystalline Transduction Theory, to explain the mechanism of action of
scalar waves with biological systems. It was proposed that scalar energy
is transduced into linear electromagnetic energy in the body by liquid
crystals in the cell membrane and solid crystals found in the blood and in
several biological tissues. Direct effects of scalar energy and coupling

of scalar energy to conventional electromagnetic fields was also
considered (14) .
The difficulty of obtainining reliable scalar generators for
biological studies has led to a paucity of hard experimental data. However,
Dr. Andrea Puharich successfully adapted the "mobius strip" technology for
generating scalar waves to a watch. ELF Cocoon Int. has recently modified
and impoved Dr. Puharich's original design and now market a readily
available, scalar generator, the Tesla watch. Despite the availability of
such a scalar generator little is known about the mechanism of action of
scalar energy with biological systems.
Numerous anecdotal clinical observations of the healing properties of
the Tesla watch have been reported. Since several of these reports include
incidences where diminution of the symptomology was correlated with
cessation of the scalar emissions from the watch (eg. expired batteries)
without the knowledge of the subject, placebo effects are unlikely to
explain the clinical results. Nonetheless, it is unknown whether the
scalar fields directly effect diseased tissue in the body or whether the
clinical effects are mediated through a direct effect of scalar energy on
the brain/mind. If the brain/mind is involved it is likely that various
psychological states(eg. stress, moods or beliefs) will alter the
biological effects of the scalar energy.
CLINICAL STUDIES WITH SCALAR ENERGY
These variables complicate interpretation of clinical experiments with
the scalar energy. In additon to conventional confounding variables, one
must also consider the EM environment. These factors may explain why some
individuals are more sensitive to scalar energy than others, as has been
previously observed with EM energy. Even when individuals who are
sensitive to scalar energy are predetermined and isolated from the rest of
the population under study, they show a highly variable response to
treatment. These problems make it difficult to study the healing
properties of scalar (or EM) energies in a clinical setting.
EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE FOR THE BIOLGICAL EFFECTS OF SCALAR ENERGY
Dr. Eldon Byrd studyed the effects of scalar energy on brain waves by
measuring subjects EG before and after wearing a watch(15). The results
indicate an increased amplitude of all EFG frequencies with a preferential
effect in the lower ELF frequencies. In addition, an exogenous fregency of
82 Hz was not seen in subjects wearing the watch indicating the scalar
wave neutralized this EM signal in the environment, thereby protecting the
individual. It is unknown whether this altered brain state is the actual
cause of clinical healing which sometimes occurs several months after
initial exposure to the scalar waves. It is known that the brain and the
body, eg. the immune system, communicate bidirectionally(16) . Thus, a
direct action of scalar energy on the body could cause a subsequent change
in brain states. Therefore these EEG studies do not inidcate whether
scalar energy also effects the body directly or whether the brain and the
body are both effected.

The use of cultured cells, separated from the body and therefore
isolated (at least to a certain degree) from the influences of the mind
offer a unique experimental approach to understanding the mechanism of
action of scalar energy in the healing process. This approach could be
used to determine direct effect of scalar energy on cells from either the
brain or the body. Tissue culture cells are a stable, controlable
biological preparation which could also be used to study the biochemical
mechanism of action of scalar energy. Even if scalar energy directly
effects individual cells, it may also effect the mind resulting in an
altered psychological outlook which results in clinical improvement.
Dr. Persinger was the first person to test the effects of scalar energy
using isolated cells(17). The scalar waves were generated by partially
cancelling two vortex-type magnetic fields(0.5Hz, 10uT) by intersecting
them in air. Although a scalar field is likely to be generated in this
protocol, it was not measured. The biological endpoint, degranulation of
mast cells, was increased by the scalar fields. It is unknown to what
extent the EM fields contribute to this result.
Very recently, Dr. Puharich has reported that the scalar energy from the
Tesla watch effects the DNA of E.Coli cells grown in tissue culture (18) .
Working with colleagues at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, they have
.shown that the RAD-6 gene is activated by scalar energy resulting in
increased activity of ubiquitone. Ubiquitone is a protein involved in DNA
repair. These results indicate that scalar energy can have a direct effect
at the subcellular level as well as a direct effect on the immune system
(mast cells).
EFFECT OF SCALAR ENERGY ON NEUROTRANSMITTER FUNCTION
The present study is the first to report a direct effect of scalar
energy on nerve cells in tissue culture and indicates that scalar energy
can modulate the basic biochemical communication between nerve cells
mediated by neurotransmitters. Nerve cells were chosen for this study to
determine whether scalar energy can directly effect the nervous system in
the absence of any feedback signals from the body. Cultured nerve cells
offer a unique model to answer this question. A particular type of nerve
cell, called PC12 cells, originally isolated from a rat adrenal
phaeochromocytoma, was used because its neurotransmitter properties have
been well characterized and shown to be similar to. those occuring during
normal synaptic transmission in the brain (19,20). Furthermore, the author
has previously shown that the functional properties of noradrenaline, an
abundent neurotransmitter in these cells is altered by weak EM fields.
Noradrenaline release from PC12 cells was shown to be increased by a 500Hz
monopolar square wave(21) and noradrenaline uptake was inhibited by a 15
Hz bipolar square wave (22).
Noradrenaline uptake was chosen as the functional neurotransmitter
property for this study for several reasons. Neurotransmitter uptake is
directly mediated by the plasma membrane via an intramembrane protein
carrier. The plasma membrane, with its liquid-crystal strucute, is the
critical cellular barrier which interfaces with the chemical and
electromagnetic environment. Since other intramembrane proteins show
non-linear properties, the plasma membrane appears to be a likely target
for scalar energy. Although neurotransmitter release also involves the
plasma membrane, it is a much more complicated process which occurs
several biochemical steps down the line from the first exposure of the
membrane to the EM signal.

The physiological function of carrier mediated neurotransmitter
uptake is to remove excess neurotransmitter from the synaptic cleft after
its release from presynaptic nerves. Thus, inhibiting uptake results in
the accumulation of the neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft. this is
the mechanism of action of tricyclic antidepressants, since they inhibit
noradrenaline uptake. Depression is associated with decreased
noradrenalinelevels.
For these studies, the same protocol which was previously used to
determine the effects of electromagnetic fields on noradrenaline uptake
was used(22). This involved exposing confluent monolayer culture of PC12
cells to radiolabelled noradrenaline in the presence or absence of scalar
energy. After a 30 minute exposure period, the cells were washed and
centrifuged according to standard biochemical procedures and the amount of
noradrenaline that was taken up into the cells was measured using a
Beckman scintillation counter. The results were normalized with respect to
the total intracellular protein concentration as determined by standard
biochemical methods using a spectrophotometer. The final specific activity
results are expressed as com/my protein.
The Tesla watch obtained from ELF Cocoon, Intenational was used as a
source of scalar energy. According to Dr. Puharich the scalar B field
emmitted by the watch is around 8 Hz. The Tesla watch (digital version)
was placed directly over an uncovered petri dish containing confluent PC12 .
cells. At the same time a separate control dish, placed about 12 feet from :
the experimental dish, was exposed in an identical way to a watch that did
not have the scalar generating mobius strip. In this way both control and
experimental dishes received the same electromagnetic field exposure, but
the experimental dishes were also exposed to a scalar field.
The results are indicated in Table 1. Overall, uptake of noradrenaline
into PC12 cells was inhibited by 19.5% in the presence of the Tesla watch
as compared with the control value obtained in the absence of a scalar
field. Standard t-test statistical analysis revealed a highly significant
difference between control and experimental dishes of p 0.01.

These results allow us to conclude that the scalar energy has a direct
effect on nerve cells. The inhibition of uptake is time dependent with no
significant effect being observed after a 10 minute exposure. It is

unknown whether exposure times greater than 30 minutes would produce a
larger effect or whether the effect would be maintained either in the
continued presence of the scalar field or not. These questions will be
examined in additional experiments. Since inhibition of uptake occured
after only 30 minutes, it is likely that this effect is an early
biological response to scalar energy and may be the trigger for subsequent
physiological changes that result in improvement of a wide variety of
clinical diseases. since the scalar energy inhibited the uptake process,
it is acting like a traditional antidepressant drug, thereby explaining
the antidepressant action of the Tesla watch experienced by some
individuals.
These results also indicate that scalar energy, like electromagnetic
of energy, can have a direct effect on the cell membrane. Since both scalar
and electromagnetic energy have the same effect on neurotransmitter
uptake, the results offer indirect support for the Crystalline
Transduction theory. Thus it is possible that the scalar energy could be
converted to electromagnetic energy in the membrane and the latter
actually causes the biological effect. However it is also possible that
the scalar energy will have a direct effect on the uptake system. Needless
to say in the constant presence of electromagnetic fields in biological
systems it. will .be.difficult to rule out. this .possibility. However,
certain experimental approaches could be used to determine the mechanism
of action of the two types of energies. eg.determine whether alterations
in the liquid crystal structure in the membrane would change the effect of
the scalar energy on uptake.
In light of the previous discussion, it is also possible that the
scalar energy will effect other cells in the body in addition to nerve
cells. The tissue culture approach will be an invaluable tool in
determining to what extent this is true. This approach could also be used
to find out whether diseased cells are preferentially sensitive to scalar
energy. The tissue culture approach is thereore a valuable method for
studying the biological effects of scalar energy and for ultimately
characterizing its mechanism of action.
