Abstract

The interplay between on one hand all unknown particles and structures, on the other the tissue cells of the soma in the blood plasma and the rest of the body fluids, is summarized under the title ”Somatic Ecology”. If this interplay leads to a state of health or a disease-state is discussed. In the former case the interplay is characterized as symbiosis, in the latter as dysbiosis. The importance of dysbiotic food is brought up for discussion. The degree of severity of the state of dysbiosis is explained as well as an allopathic view of the blood.

The blood of two groups of experimental subjects were examined:

a) 60 healthy subjects ranging in age from 20 to 30 years.
b) 500 patients with chronic illnesses taken from my practice, who had already been diagnosed at the hospital. The types of patients involved were primarily those with severe allergies, neurological diseases, skin and muscle diseases, and different types of malignant processes.

Microbe-like formations

In two earlier studies(6, 7) it is shown that all the blood examined contained microbe-like formations and that they are found both in the cells and in the plasma. In several cases it has been possible to observe them for several weeks in a thin plasma film between two glass- slides and notice that they exist in a great number of different forms and sizes. In most cases the smallest forms were found in the blood of healthy individuals; the forms often proved to be larger and in a greater quantity in blood from persons with serious states of diseases.

In observing the microbe-like formations in blood from corpses, all the microorganisms which can be seen in a living individual’s blood still show the same amount of activity. They often had increased further in size, and often there was a sudden emergence of very small and rapidly mobile forms (not equivalent to the Brownian movement).

Initially, it was difficult to prove that these particles really were microorganisms as Enderlein maintained. However, it was possible over a period of a few days to follow these microbe-like formations and photograph them microscopically.

This showed that they exhibit remarkable properties, such as suddenly emerging from apparently nowhere and then developing into a variety of new and varied forms. This might be a proof that these observed particles really are living units…microorganisms. Enderlein also stated that they can be cultivated and develop from very small forms 0,01µm (virus forms) into bacterial forms and further into fungal forms which are found in the tissues during their degeneration following the death of the individual.

It is therefore postulated here that these microbe-like formations in blood really are microorganisms. According to Enderlein’s theory, the smallest microbial forms behave in symbiosis with the tissue cells. The higher developed forms, however, are able to attack and destroy the tissue cells. This process results in an increasing dysbiosis. The differing states of symbiosis and dysbiosis within the soma will be called ”the interplay in the soma”.

The interplay between microorganisms and tissue cells in the soma always takes place in a fluid medium consisting of blood plasma and interstitial fluid. However, in our fixed tissues such as muscles, nerves and organs etc, all cells are interconnected. These tissue cells are surrounded by the interstitial fluid in exactly the same way as the blood plasma surrounds blood cells.

From this fact it becomes evident that the structure of the blood is, in principle, similar to that of the fixed tissues. The essential difference is that blood is a form of fluid tissue. It could therefore be argued that, if Enderlein’s discovery of microorganisms in the blood is correct, then similar microbial conditions can also be found in our fixed tissues.

This understanding of the relationship between the blood and the tissues reveals that there is a continuity of microbial activity throughout the soma as a whole. This continuity is, however, not to be confused with uniformity. The microbial interplay within the soma is far from homogeneous. In the first place, there are gradients in the density of their occurrence throughout the soma. Secondly, there is a difference between the ecological properties of the microorganisms, either symbiotic or dysbiotic.

Nutrition, oxygenation and circulation

Within the monomorphistic microbiology of today, it is assumed that microorganisms multiply solely by division, that bacteria gradually increase in size and then divide to create two new bacteria. The pleomorphists, however, maintain that this means of propagation in a bacterial culture only takes place when the culture is constantly and gradually nourished. When nourishment is lacking, microorganisms in a medium do not cease to exist, but rather evolve towards other forms of increasing size with variable properties and characteristics.

It is likely that a decrease in circulation of the body fluids in part of or throughout the whole soma over a period of time would result in a decreased supply of’ nourishment and of oxygen to those parts of the soma. This same principle of depleted nourishment, in its extreme, occurs in the stagnation of the body fluids of a dead person.

A result of this deficiency would be an increase in the microbes’ aggressive behaviour towards their environment, which in this case are the tissue cells. According to the pleomorphistic way of thinking, the microorganisms develop into other forms, able to consume and destroy the tissue cells, first causing diseases and then later the putrefaction of the soma(8).

Good oxygenation is important because it normalizes the pH in the tissues(9). This contributes to keeping the microbial flora at a symbiotic level. A similar effect on the pH in the blood also occurs through a predominantly alkaline-forming diet. Through a good circulation, oxygenation and nourishment supply, it is possible to counteract dysbiotic development.

It therefore becomes evident why increased breathing (increased oxygen supply) and increased pulse rate (increased circulation), together with appropriate nutrition are such important factors in bringing an individual’s soma from a state of dysbiosis (illness) into a state of symbiosis (health).

In this connection it is interesting to note the result of Ardenne’s research on the influence of infections on the oxygen partial pressure of the arterial blood. This pressure is normally about 97 mmHg, but in elderly people (70 years) it decreases to an average value of 70 mmHg. This pressure can be lowered to an average of 25 mmHg by infection and also by other stress factors, such as radiation treatment, surgical trauma and long durations without movement. In this case the minimal partial pressure of oxygen becomes increasingly lower, the lower the initial oxygen pressure of the patient.

The oxidation-reduction potential in the tissues of elderly people can become very low because of many reasons and this explains, partly, the increasing tendency to develop increased severity of disease in the later years of life.
