Oscillatory Action of Microbes. The knowledge we have acquired concerning cellular radiation enables us to consider, under a new aspect, the problem of the pathological condition of cells which, as we have seen, function as minute living resonators.

I have pointed out that life - a phenomenon of oscillation in the cellular nucleus - is the outcome of radiation and is dependent upon it for its maintenance. We can easily understand that life, considered as a harmony of vibrations, may be modified or destroyed by any condition causing oscillatory disequilibrium, particularly by the radiations of certain microbes which overcome the radiations of weaker or less resistant cells.

It is essential that the amplitude of oscillation should have an adequate value so that the organism may be in a sound defensive state against the harmful radiations of certain microbes. The microbe, as a living organism, vibrating with a frequency lower or higher than that of the organic cell, causes, in the living being, an oscillatory disequilibrium. The sound cell which can no longer oscillate normally is then forced to modify the amplitude or the frequency of its own vibrations which the microbe overcomes more or less completely by induction. As a result of being forced to vibrate under abnormal conditions the cell can no longer function normally; it is, in fact, a diseased cell. In order that it may be restored to health it must be treated by means of a radiation of appropriate frequency which, in recharging the cell with the required energy, achieves the dual purpose of restoring it to health and to its original normal state.

The action of this auxiliary radiation neutralizes and overcomes the detrimental actions of the microbe.
