Can you explain more? I'm not a scientist.

FYI - re: Gaston Naessens

Gaston Naessens is responsible for several remarkable developments which may revolutionise our understanding of life and bring a major advance in cancer therapy. His work started with the invention of an amazing microscope, the "somatoscope". This led him to the discovery of the Somatid Cycle, and in turn to the development of his serum, 714-X.

The Somatoscope

Naessens' revolutionary microscope, the somatoscope, weaves two light sources (one visible, one ultraviolet) together to produce a third, functionally higher, frequency with which it is possible to obtain a resolution and magnification thirty times greater then with conventional light microscopy . (In conventional light microscopy resolution, and therefore magnification, is limited by the wavelength of visible light - approximately 4000 Angstroms.) Although with the electron microscope there is almost no limit to the magnification, the electrons must be beamed through a vacuum, so it can not be used to look at living material. Naessens' remarkable somatoscope, however, can view live material with a resolution of 150 Angstroms, a magnification of 30,000 diameters. That magnification reveals a whole new world in a tiny drop of blood. The world that Gaston Naessens sees in that drop with his somatoscope is quite different from what we were taught at school! He sees that our blood is alive with a teaming micro-ecology. This is how Gaston Naessens discovered the somatid.

Somatids

In all living plants and animals Naessens observed tiny creatures. He called them somatids - "little bodies". He says that in the healthy organism the somatids have a simple three stage life cycle (a simple viroid form, spores, and double spores). This he named the microcycle. The somatids are symbiotic - they've always been with us, and we need them. However, when the body is under stress the somatids elaborate into a more complicated macrocycle, a sixteen stage cycle. The macrocycle is parasitic and is associated with the development of immune compromised diseases - such as cancer. Naessens' theory is that there are inhibitors in the blood that keep the somatids in the healthy symbiotic microcycle. Under stress these inhibitors may be lost and our friends, the somatids, turn into opportunistic parasites. So, in the 16 stage macrocycle bacteria-like and fungus-like forms grow from the somatids. This elaboration of forms is termed pleomorphism. The somatid pattern can function as an indicator of serious disease. The somatid pattern associated with cancer, for instance, is usually observed in the blood up to two years before the manifestation of the disease. This allows us to get a really early warning when we are headed for trouble or it can be helpful in keeping track of the progress of a preexisting disease. By monitoring the somatid phenomenon we can observe a patient's response to both orthodox and alternative treatments, and to life style changes.

Pleomorphism and Darkfield Microscopy

Although developed in isolation, Gaston Naessens' theories are part of a larger body of work that we may call "the darkfield work". His somatoscope is a very special variation of the darkfield microscope. All those who have worked extensively with darkfield microscopy, with live blood, have come up with similar stories of pleomorphism. In conventional "brightfield" microscopy we send light directly through the specimen, and so we can't see the specimen (thin slices of tissue, including blood, are transparent) unless we stain it. And to stain it we have to kill it. So again, as with the electron microscope, orthodox science, with all its sophistication, looks at dead material. With darkfield microscopy light is shone onto the specimen from the side. We look at reflected light against a dark background. This gives us a highly contrasted image. We don't need to stain the specimen, and therefore we can examine at living material. The darkfield microscope allows us to observe the somatid's pleomorphic cycles.

One of the first scientists who talked about pleomorphism in human blood was Béchamel, a contemporary and rival of Pasteur. He called the little bodies he observed "microzymes". Enderlein in the first half of this century called them "protits". In the 1930s Rife built a darkfield microscope comparable to Gaston Naessens'. He too saw pleomorphism.

Pleomorphism is a natural adaptive response of microorganisms. When the environment allows they are virus-like, bacteria-like, or fungus-like: they metamorphose to suit their conditions. When we are healthy they help us. According to Naessens they produce a growth hormone that is essential for cell division in all plants and animals. Biologist call this sort of mutually depended relationship "symbiosis". However, when we are unhealthy our friends, the somatids, turn on us and become parasitic. But this parasitism is a process that can be recognised by darkfield microscopy and it can often be reversed. Most important, we must find out what stressors caused the problem, and correct the situation.
