WHERE CHRONIC DISEASES BEGIN

WHAT IS THE BAZAN EFFECT AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO A QUANTUM CLINICIAN? Dr. Bazan is a neuroscientist whose work influenced me while I was a resident at LSU and long before I had a quantum perspective 30 years.

He was the first person I can recall in my training that was able to link clinical diseases to the RPE in the retina by discovering something called the Bazan effect today. He was initially studying what effect seizures and lack of blood flow had on the CNS. He found when the brain is stressed for any reason neurons release two types of essential fatty acids, namely omega 6 and omega 3. Their names are arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

These are essential FFA’s because the body has a poor capacity to make them endogenously. Arachidonic acid is found ubiquitously all over the body in all cell lines but DHA goes mainly to the retina and brain. Both become critical parts of the cell membrane EMF antenna in cells that work in wireless fashion using various non-linear aspects of the electromagnetic spectrum. The release of both of these fats created major questions for science 30 years ago. Bazan found that the release of AA and DHA occurred very rapidly. This speed was initially felt to be a post-mortem or a pathologic side effect of a stimulus.

His lab also raised the question of whether the event was related to normal physiologic function. He used electroshock experiments to figure out the truth. He found once the EMF was used to create the electroshock that once the fatty acids were released they RETURNED to the cell membranes by two pathways. He found the release was a REVERSIBLE event and this told him that the release of AA and DHA to EMF’s was tied to physiologic function.

This set the stage for his lab to find the key links between seizures and neurodegenerative diseases. When blue light hits the central retinal pathways, vitamin A is liberated and DHA is turned to an aldehyde form and this creates the destruction cascade that Dr. Bazan discovered. This means the more tech abuse you allow the more seafood your body requires to run the SCN and the habenular nucleus.

This is why modern chronic diseases (SCN damage) and mental disorders (habenular nucleus damage) are exploding now. This is the basis for these occurances. AA is a precursor molecule for all the prostaglandins and many other important mediators that were eventually discovered by Bengt Samuelson at the Karolinska Institute. Because these mediators all have 20 carbons they are called eicosanoids.

SUMMARY

In 2003 and 2004 he linked these mediators to diseases of the eye and brain via the discovery of neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1) which is the FIRST MESSENGER or mediator of DHA metabolism. He found that neuroprotectin D1 is intimately involved in electroshocks, seizures, and in ischemia of the retina and brain disorders. NPD1 functions to protect neurons from metabolic, photolytic, and EMF damage. NPD1 comes from DHA which has 22 carbons so it comes from a family of chemicals called docosanoids. He gave me the basic science and I put it all together.
