+---electronic engineer James Lee Scribner believes that: it is the electron that is responsible before the photosynthesis can take
+place, for it is the electron that magnetizes the chlorophyll in the plant
+cell that makes it possible for the photon to assert itself and become a
+part of the plant in the form of solar energy. It is also this magnetism that
+draws the molecules of oxygen into the ever expanding chlorophyll cells
+of the plant, and so we must assume that moisture is in no way integrated into the plant through any absorption process whatsoever, for the integration of moisture is purely an electronic one. The so-called root pressure
+(moisture droplets) appearing on plant surfaces is not root pressure at all,
+but an abundance of electrons working with the rather excessive water
+energy in the bed. pg 181
+---Because, of all living things, they seemed the most enduring and the

+He found that recordings related not only to the lunar cycle and to
+sunspots, whIch flare up at intervals with many years between them, but
+revealed cycles recurring every three and six months that were beyond
+his explanabon. His conclusions seemed to make less suspect the long-
+mocked practices of generations of gardeners who claimed that their
+**crops** should be **planted according to the phases of the moon**.pg 197
+---To try to establish the cosmic origin of energy, Lakhovsky decided
+to dispense with his device to produce artificial rays
+and tap natural energy from space. In January, 1925, he picked one of
+a series of geraniums previously inoculated with cancer and surrounded
+it with a circular copper spiral thirty centimeters in diameter, its two
+unjoined ends fixed in an ebonite support. After several weeks he found
+that whereas all the control geraniums inoculated with cancer had died
+and dried up, the plant ringed with the copper spiral was not only
+radiantly healthy but had grown twice as high as uninoculated controls.
+These spectacular results led Lakhovsky into a complex theory as to how the geranium had been able to pick up from the vast field of waves
+in the external atmosphere the **exact frequencies which enabled its cells
+to oscillate normally and so powerfully that the cancer-afflicted cells
+were destroyed.** pg 185
+---Other first and second colonies of cells, separated by the quartz glass,
+both perished when only the first colony was murdered with chemical
+poisons or lethal radiation and the second left unexposed. What killed
+the second colony in each case?
+Since **ordinary glass does not permit ultraviolet rays to pass but quartz
+glass does**, it seemed to the Soviet scientists that here was a key to the
+mystery. They recalled that **Gurwitsch had theorized that onion cells
+could emit ultraviolet rays**, and they resurrected his ideas from the limbo
+to which they had been consigned in the 1930s. They found that when life processes in the tissue cultures remained
+//normal//, the ultraviolet glow, invisible to the human eye but detectable
+as oscillations on the tape, remained stable. As soon as the affected
+colony began to battle against its infection, the radiation intensified.
+Reports on this work in Moscow newspapers disclosed that, however
+fantastic it might seem, the **ultraviolet radiation from the afflicted cells
+//carried information// encoded in the fluctuation in intensity which was
+somehow received by the second colony**.
+Since the second colony seemed in each case to die in exactly the same
+way as the first, the Soviets realized that it was as dangerous for healthy
+cells to be exposed to the transmitted signal of dying cells as it was for
+them to be exposed to viruses, poisons, and lethal radiation. It appeared
+that the second colony upon receiving the alarm signal from the dying
+first colony began to mobilize for resistance and its very "restructuring for war" against a nonexistent enemy proved as fatal as if it had
+it had indeed been attacked. pg 189-199

+ ---Inyushin had written up his research
+into the Kirlians' work in 1968 in a book-long scientific paper: //The
+Biologlcal Essence of the Kirlian Effect//. Though Kirlian himself had
+maintained that the strange energy in his pictures was caused by "changinng the nonelectrical properties of bodies into electrical properties which
+are transferred to film," Inyushin and his collaborators went several steps
+further. They declared that the **bioluminescence visible in Kirlian pictures** was caused not by the electrical state of the organism but by a
+**"biological plasma body"** which seemed to be only a new word for the
+"etheric" or "astral" body of the ancients. pg 203

+not only undergoes a drastic shift when placed in a magnetic field but
+is concentrated at hundreds of points in the human body which seem
+to **correspond to the ancient Chinese system of acupuncture points.**pg 205
+---If there is a change in the
