SYNTERGIC THEORY

 WHAT HAPPENED WITH  JACOBO?

Jacobo Grinberg Zylberbaum (1946- 1994?), was a neurophysiologist with Jewish roots, born in Mexico, where he was professor of Neurophysiology at the National University of Mexico (UNAM) in which, he had contact with Mexican shamans, especially those from Sonora (Llaquis) and with a Mexican woman: Pachita (Bárbara Guerrero, a  psychic surgeon), to whom he dedicate a book (Los Shamanes de México. Pachita. A truthful testimony of the mind over the body. Ed. Heptada, Madrid, 1990), for allowing him to participate in her healing practices from which, due to the extraordinary scenes he saw, he deduced the participation in them of  a neural plane (of the Mexican shaman), on human matter and the underlying space. When Grinberg describes the surgical practices performed by Pachita as amazing, for making them appear out of nowhere: diseased kidneys that were  replaced with healthy ones in seconds, or  damaged cerebral cortices that in seconds were replaced by  healthy cerebral cortices that also appeared instantly out of nowhere, leaving in the end the affected patients :healthy. After analyzing the scientific bases of Pachita's psychic surgeries, Grinberg imitated her procedures for a year, concluding that Pachita's healing ability was the result of the interaction of two realities: a functioning neural field around the shamans' brains  and an environmental spatio-temporal network (Grinberg-Zylberbaum, J. (1997). Ideas About a New Psychophysiology of Consciousness: The Syntergic Theory. The Journal of Mind and Behavior, 18 (4), 443-458. Retrieved August 26, 2020, from http://www.jstor.org/stable/43853834). After revisiting these sessions, Grinberg gave a rational explanation to what he  observed, creating the Syntergic Theory, where he proposed the existence of a continuum of spatial energy of which the common human only perceives a portion from  a basic spatial organization (matrix, lattice), on which the neural plane of the shaman would act, producing physical alterations of this space initially detected in the real world as elementary particles and as  complex distortions (visual, auditory perceptual realities, objects, creation of experience, etc.): with field neuronal interactions  with levels  of the lattice, in which each floor represents a different level of consciousness (auditory, visual), with the sum of activities at the highest  level, contradicting the current concepts of reality, envisioning the tremendous capacity of the human brain as a continuum facilitated by Taoist meditation by enhancing all  of our physiological systems, being the initiate  able to observe even his own brain activity (dipasha technique), visualizing  diseased tissues calmly (brain waves at 10 cycles per second), promising the synergistic theory to be the theoretical framework for the functioning of consciousness and his levels, explaining the creation of perception.Suddenly Jacobo dissapeared in  1994.

BATS AND ITS EXTENDED LIFE SPAN

Taken from Nature

 BATS  AND THE FIGHT AGAINST  COVID-19

According to several ecologists, http://www.fao.org/3/a0789s03.html ,  animals that populated the Earth before humans, had a prolonged contact with viruses establishing between them an adaptation or peaceful coexistence thanks to adaptation of their genetic and immune systems. When in recent decades, humans began to ruthlessly predate and pollute nature and take the lives of thousands of animals, viruses adapted to them were forced to seek other bodily habitats to survive, leading to: 1) Terrifying pandemics in humans until they manage to adapt their genetic and immune systems to viruses, establishing an adaptation or peaceful coexistence with viruses, hoping that : 2) With the help of science we will understand the reason for being of the viruses and the characteristics of animal virus reservoirs. In this sense, initially orienting oneself  towards the study of the genomes of bats is an illuminating idea, since certain groups of viruses that cause great morbidity and mortality are housed in the Ferreungulata group of mammals, which includes: dogs, cats, seals , pangolins, bats, etc. An idea concretized in the formation of the Bat1K consortium https://bat1k.ucd.ie/, a global group of scientists, committed to sequencing the genomes of 1,421 species of bats, of which 6 have been precisely sequenced so far, thanks to the tenacious work of David Jebb (Center for Systems Biology Dresden/Max Planck Inst. for Cell Biology and Genetics), Emma Teeling (Biologist/University College Dublin), Sonja Vernes (Neurogenetics of Vocal Communication/Max Planck Institute), and others, who using the new technology DRESDEN-Concept Genome Center Max Planck Institute/Germany), https://dresden-concept.de/genome-center/?lang=en , sequenced the DNA of 6 species of bats, identifying their genes with accuracy (98%), in the correct order, with an unprecedented quality, showing for the first time, the encoded genetic material of bats,  https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2486-3 , their unique adaptations: ability to fly, use sound to move effortlessly in the dark, survive and tolerate deadly diseases, extend their lifespan and resist cancer, being identified  genomic changes associated with unique adaptations, looking for genetic differences between bats and other mammals, genetic regions that evolved differently in bats, with loss or gain of genes, changes in auditory genes, to improve their echolocation, to hunt and navigate in the dark, antiviral gene expansions, immune gene selections and loss of inflammation genes, endowing bats with an exceptional immunity to tolerate viruses, apart from the finding of fossilized viruses in their genomes. An intense work,  in which Teely and collaborators took blood samples from bats at different stages of their lives by placing a chip on their legs, in search of vital biomarkers, performing various molecular tests finding that: 1) unlike most mammals where their telomeres shorten after each cell division, triggering the need to die by becoming senescent cells, which no longer replicate and attract healthy cells by aging them, the telomeres of bats do not shorten with age, when cells divide and they also do not have cancer, finding that 2 of their genes: TX and ATM, continue to evolve. 2)  compared to the mitochondrial theory that maintains that free radicals have the ability to destroy mitochondria, in bats, their mitochondria develop mechanisms that limit the deleterious effects of free radicals. 3) The sequencing of all blood transcriptomes revealed changes that keep their DNA current as they age, as well as an increase in their ability to repair their DNAs. 4) While in other mammals their microbiomes change for the worse, the bat microbiome does not change with age 5) Bats, present an active autophagy, capable of removing protein and cellular damage. 6) They maintain a balanced immune system, aimed at maintaining homeostasis, canceling the inflammation produced by their high metabolism, demonstrated by their high production of TNF and IL, solidifying the use in humans of anti-inflammatory drugs in Covid-19 disease, according to the stage of disease.
