cell communication This is from the Garden of Eden website . Standswfist posted originally. Website has some very interesting info
The most powerful microscopes still struggle to grasp all the complexity of a single cell. The finer the resolution, still the next layers of complexity are found. Human cells are not amoebas. They possession vastly complex internal structures, complex chemical processes of digestion, feeding, magnetic fields and no one has a clue how they decide, determine, adjust, communicate with each other, and reason out problems or realize the environment around them. The more we learn, the more complex a cell is revealed to be.
Two Noble Peace Prize winners in bio-engineering - one given this award twice - were cast out of the scientific community for a claim that they each had independently discovered that another entire level of small life forms live within the dna structures of every cell and that each cell is a vast and complex super colony organism. This resulted after one of them designed an extremely fine optical microscope that did not obliterate living tissue as do electron microscopes.
They claimed their research was suggesting the members of that macro community demonstrated both purpose and possibly intelligence. They suggested these organisms built greater life forms for their own purpose, thus building our bodies they way that we build apartment complexes and cities. They were adamant that these macro communities of each cell communicate with each other and suggested if they could see even smaller, they would find those sub-cellular creatures had their own internal complexities.
Why was that so unacceptable to believe, given that a cell contains billions of atoms? In the other direction, our solar system is merely an atom of the structure of the universe. The fear was not that those two Nobel Peace Prize winning bio-scientists were wrong, but that they were correct and, if so, it turned the medical community and our understanding of life itself upside down.
When urged to rethink their positions, instead they hardened their views still deeper and more revolutionary. They claimed these sub-cellular nano-creatures were virtually impervious to heat, radiation and crushing forces and existed in the cells of every life form. In their opinion, they are virtually immortal and move from host to host and new life to new life. The speculated that because the heat and radiation in space would not harm them, possibly they were the origins and common link to life itself - whether by evolution or God's means of building life.
As the chemistry in the plant, animal or person they were in became undesirable, they would increasingly leave that host - and the rate of their departure determined the life span and health of that life. Therefore, by adjusting chemistry suitable to those nano-creatures, life spans could be greatly increased. They claimed to have tested this in a preliminary way with corn and that they could extend the life of the corn, cause the corn to die prematurely, cause the corn to develop cancer or be cured of it by altering the cellular chemistry these organisms resided in . All living organisms are subject to cancer and have life spans. But what determines how fast that life clock runs or in which direction? Which of the same plant or animal will fall to cancer and which ones will not. They believed that human life could be increased to hundreds of years and cancers virtually eliminated within a decade if this phenomenom was researched in depth.
What was those two recognized brilliant scientists real crime that was so troubling? They argued that they were having increasing success in attempting to communicate with these cellular macro communities via alterations of cellular chemistry and in a way that would result in affecting a person's health and life span. If so, each person could become the general of the armies of cells within their own body, giving communicated commands and instruction for the benefit of the entire community of the human body.
They were attempting to make a direct communication link with living cells themselves - claiming they were more complex than anyone had ever imagined and had the audacity to suggest cells are intelligent super-organism life forms living as communities in the ocean of our bodies - just as people live as a community on earth. Like people, their world has a vast variety of life of all types and sizes, that cells divide into jobs and tasks, act in harmony and even engage in war. They also were claiming that the cellular chemistry of any plant or animal was the decisive factor of health and life span. It was not just bad luck or the draw of the cards of who lived or died, got cancer or not, or how long or well a person lived.
In some ways this seems obvious. Our health and our life span is determined by the cells of our body. Therefore, health focus should be at that level.
