    APPENDIX III MY 1950-1972 LIFE IN PBio WAS EXHILARATING! by J. Walter Woodbury (1923 - ) PREFACE My memories are almost the sole source of the material in this document. Many experimental find- ings show that memories are notoriously malleable and often wrong. My intent is to provide personal glimpses of the early heady days of the buildup of the great Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Washington, School of Medicine. I hope that these will convey something of the feel for what it was like to be there then.

From the physiological point of view, a nonzero membrane potential or action potential cannot be observed across the impermeable membrane. However, a nonzero membrane potential including action potential-like potential was clearly observed. Those observations gave rise to a doubt concerning the validity of currently accepted generation mechanism of membrane potential and action potential of cell. As an alternative theory, we found that the long-forgotten Ling’s adsorption theory was the most plausible theory. Ling’s adsorption theory suggests that the membrane potential and action potential of a living cell is due to the adsorption of mobile ions onto the adsorption site of cell, and this theory is applicable even to nonliving (or non-biological) system as well as living system. Through this paper, the authors emphasize that it is necessary to reconsider the validity of current membrane theory and also would like to urge the readers to pay keen attention to the Ling’s adsorption theory which has for long years been forgotten in the history of physiology.

  • Energy and Epigenetics: Quantum Cell Theory, Life As a Collective Phenomena
    Energy and Epigenetics: Quantum Cell Theory, Life as a Collective Phenomena 1. How is life brought to life? 2. What is a SQUID? 3. Does physics direct biology? 4. What is the field effect? 5. What is quantum cell theory and how does it work? This will probably be the most important blog in the entire Quilt. It is how I see the three fundamental laws of nature integrating and coordinating the physiologic function animating life. It is how all life works as a collective phenomena under the electromagnetic force. It is loaded with science, and it may be a hard read for some, but ask questions. If you do not, you might never get to optimal. This blog contains my holy grail in how I figured out how to get me healthy. I remember the day I wrote it in 2007 like it was yesterday. I would strongly recommend clicking and reading every hyperlink in this blog. It will help you understand things more fully. In this blog, you will see how light, water and the electromagnetic field form a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) on the surface of your brain that allows you to be human. SQUID‘S are important in the mammalian neocortex because they are able to switch signals from one neural circuit to another, at extremely high speeds, while storing massive amounts of information, all while using very low power dissipation. We are part of an electric universe. This all can be done in the tightest of quarters. This works at nanoscopic levels on semiconductor chips in your laptop and in the subarachnoid space of your brain.

It has shown me that it’s still possible to establish something genuinely new in science.” Zhiliang Gong, University of Chicago. “The most significant scientific discovery of this century. What strikes me above all is the elegant simplicity of [Pollack’s] experimental approach. Many of the experiments can be done on the kitchen table, and you don’t even need a microscope to see the results.” Mae-Wan Ho, Author, Living Rainbow H2O; Director, Institute of Science and Society, London. “Dr. Pollack is one of the pioneers in this field, and his discoveries can be expected to have important implications.” Brian Josephson, Nobel Laureate, Cambridge University. “Fantastic material with revolutionary insights. What impresses me most is that the experiments are visually instantly accessible.” Helmut Roniger, Consulting physician “I blame Pollack for my chronic loss of sleep during the past week. Devouring his book has inspired in me a whole new burst of enthusiasm for science.” Jason Gillen, Massage therapist, Sydney Australia. “The most original thinker I have ever met.” Csaba Galambos, University of Colorado “Einstein has got nothing on Pollack.

  • The Glass Micropipette Electrode: a History of Its Inventors and Users to 1950
    Milestone in Physiology JGP 100th Anniversary The glass micropipette electrode: A history of its inventors and users to 1950 Allan H. Bretag School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, University of South Australia, Adelaide, SA 5000, Australia Soon after the glass micropipette was invented as a micro-tool for manipulation of single bacteria and the micro- injection and microsurgery of living cells, it was seen to hold promise as a microelectrode to stimulate individual cells electrically and to study electrical potentials in them. Initial successes and accurate mechanistic explana- tions of the results were achieved in giant plant cells in the 1920s. Long known surface electrical activity in nerves and muscles was only resolved at a similar cellular level in the 1930s and 1940s after the discovery of giant nerve fibers and the development of finer tipped microelectrodes for normal-sized cells. It is commonly, but erroneously, supposed that sharp in the Netherlands (1899), among others (as reviewed by glass micropipette electrodes were co-invented by Gilbert Chambers, 1918, 1922; Taylor, 1920; Péterfi, 1923).

  • Debunking the Alleged Resurrection of the Sodium Pump Hypothesis
    Physiol. Chem. Phys. & Med. NMR (1997) 29:123-198 /-- Debunking the Alleged Resurrection of the Sodium Pump Hypothesis Gilbert N. Ling Damadian Foundation for Basic and Cancer Research, c/o Fonar Corporation, 110 Marcus Drive, Melville, NY 11747 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: A detailed debunking of the alleged resurrection of the sodium-pump hypothesis which was disproved more than 35 years ago. 1.The Origin of the Membrane Pump Hypothesis and Its Disproof 35 Years Ago A worthy scientific hypothesis is almost always the creation of a protagonist, an author. In this, it is not different from creations in literature, music and the arts. The sodium-pump hypothesis, in contrast, seems to have no real author in the true sense of the word. It is true that Robert Dean has been cited often as the founder of the sodium-pump hypothesis. Yet, the contribution Dean made appears to be not much more than a passing comment, to wit: "It is safer to assume that there is a pump of unknown mechanism which is doing work at a constant rate excreting sodium as fast as it diffuses into the cell" (Dean, 1941, p. 346). Dean did not provide a mechanism for the sodium pump. Nor did he provide or cite experimental evidence in support of the existence of the sodium pump. Then there is - the question of priority. In 1839 Theodor Schwann, widely accredited as the originator of the Cell Theory, expressed the view that control of cell activities was in the cell membrane, which possesses "metabolic power9'-a power or, in German, "Kraft" reminiscent of, if not the direct outgrowth of, the vitalistic "Lebenskraft" of his mentor and close associate, Johannes Miiller-by which the cell can regulate the chemical composition of the fluids inside and outside the cells.

  • Truth in Basic Biomedical Science Will Set Future Mankind Free
    Physiol. Chem. Phys. & Med. NMR (2011) 41 : 19–48 Truth in Basic Biomedical Science Will Set Future Mankind Free Gilbert N. Ling Damadian Foundation for Basic and Cancer Research Tim and Kim Ling Foundation for Basic and Cancer Research 110 Marcus Drive, Melville, NY 11747 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: It is self-evident that continued wellbeing and prosperity of our species in time to come depends upon a steady supply of major scientific and technologic innovations. However, major sci - entific and technical innovations are rare. As a rule, they grow only in the exceptionally fertile minds of men and women, who have fully mastered the underlying basic sciences. To waken their interest in science at an early critical age and to nurture and enhance that interest afterward, good textbooks at all level of education that accurately portray the relevant up-to-date knowledge are vital. As of now, the field of science that offers by far the greatest promise for the future of humanity is the science of life at the most basic cell and below-cell level. Unfortunately, it is precisely this crucial part of the (standardized) biological textbooks for all high schools and colleges in the US and abroad that have become, so to speak, fossilized. As a result, generation after generation of (educated) young men and women have been and are still being force-fed as established scientific truth an obsolete membrane (pump) theory, which has been categorically disproved half a century ago (see Endnote 1.) To reveal this Trojan horse of a theory for what it really is demands the concerted efforts of many courageous individuals especially young biology teachers who take themselves and their career seriously.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1982 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. RALPH WALDO GERARD October 7, 1900-February 17, 1974 BY SEYMOUR S. KETY URING THE MIDDLE DECADES of the twentieth century, Dstudy of the nervous system became a major component of biological research, growing from a strong base in mor- phology and physiology to involve all of the biological and behavioral sciences. It was not by chance that this develop- ment coincided with the time and span of Ralph Gerard's scientific career, for he was one of a small number of intellec- tual leaders who brought it about. Born in Harvey, Illinois at the beginning of this century, Ralph Gerard was blessed with an uncommon intellectual endowment, a heritage that has traditionally held scholarship and ethics in high regard, and a remarkable father who nur- tured his scientific curiosity. His father, Maurice Gerard, who had come to America from Central Europe after receiving a degree in engineering in Britain, was a self-employed con- sultant to industry. He named his son after Emerson, whom he admired, and saw for him the career in pure science that he had been unable to pursue. From his father, Ralph Gerard also gained an appreciation of mathematics and of chess, showing particular aptitude for the latter, so that in his teens he beat the American champion and the world cham- pion at different times when they were playing simultaneous matches in Chicago.
