Holographic Blood: A New Dimension in Medicine

Throughout the 2007 book Holographic Blood, Harvey Bigelsen takes complex scien­tific themes and puts them into simpler terms. Take the subject of antibiotics. As Bigelsen elucidates, when you take antibiotics, you kick the can down the road. You have not addressed the root cause of your illness; you have simply interrupted how the body was dealing with the issue (whatever it was). Antibiotics, he says, weaken all living organisms indiscriminately: “Antibiotics are supposed to kill, but in reality, they stimulate adaptation. Instead of dying, the endobiont [organism] changes to a form the antibiotic doesn’t recognize.” This process inevitably leads to more dis-ease within a matter of years, albeit likely in another form.

Bigelsen is in the same camp as Antoine Béchamp, Dr. Günther Enderlein, physiologist, Claude Bernard and other past researchers who came to believe that “the terrain is everything.” Unfortunately, Pasteur’s theory won the day and eclipsed their work. Bigelsen explains, “The germ, according to Pasteur, was a discrete and immutable entity. He further proposed that infections were communicable from one indi­vidual or object to another by the germs’ ability to be transmitted or ‘picked up.’ Pasteur’s theory created a climate of fear and our current medical model.” Because of germ theory, modern medi­cine turned to chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and other treatments that haven’t gotten us even one step closer to meaningful cures.

In another explanation of the difference between germ and terrain theory, Bigelsen says, “Suppose we cut a visible mold off a piece of cheese. Within a day or two we discover ‘new’ mold on the cheese. Why? Cutting off the mold we see did not alter the terrain. In the terrain approach to medicine, we look for the conditions surrounding both the source and the result (dis­ease).” Bigelsen suggests that a “flow analysis” of blood, urine and saliva can give an accurate picture of someone’s biocellular terrain. Scan­ning the three, one can identify the body’s acid/ alkaline balance (pH), oxidative stress (rH2) and resistivity (r).

Bigelsen also notes the importance of our thoughts and emotions, referring to an experi­ment conducted by Dr. Josef Issels, who told patients he was going to measure their “resting pH.” He set up an IV, left the room and then returned with either positive or negative news regarding the individual’s lab results. The IV monitor immediately registered an increase or decrease in pH based on the person’s reaction. In both big and small ways, we create our terrain. Bigelsen suggests that for disease to manifest, “We must hold onto negativity, and by inference the thought that triggered it.”

To me, this sounds a lot like the work of Rudolf Steiner and Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer of German New Medicine. In fact, Bigelsen quotes them both liberally and agrees with many of their findings, building on their work to under­stand disruptions to the terrain and empower the body’s return to homeostasis.

Holographic Blood addresses a wide range of conditions—from strep and pneumonia to root canals and fungal infections—looking at how and why each of these may come about. The book also includes numerous tables and charts that depict the body’s healing stages. One example (Table 3) describes “normal/acute” in terms of “excretion, inflammation, deposition”;

“chronic” corresponds to “impregnation” and “degeneration,” while “terminal” is associated with “dedifferentiation.” These are progres­sive—if the body (terrain) does not get the support it needs for healing, chronic or terminal conditions will follow the normal/acute stages.

Bigelsen also references the work of Dr. Weston Price and Edgar Cayce, who once said: “The day may yet arrive when one may take a drop of blood and diagnose the condition of any physical body.” That day has arrived. Blood, according to Bigelsen, is the “universal storyteller” through holographic patterns that reveal an individual’s health. Using a dark-field microscope, medical professionals can now evaluate plasma activity, the presence of debris, white cell movement, the shape of cells and the amount and density of fluid. Patterns emerge under that microscope that can directly reveal where root issues reside. What is the body (and blood) telling us? And why? Numerous images in the book show how the blood points the way.

Throughout, Bigelsen reminds us of our responsibility to nurture good health. He says, “Like a surfer, if we deviate our attention from the ebb and flow of the terrain (the water and the waves), we will become sick (wipe out).” Hang ten, my friend! I give this book an enthusiastic thumbs up.
