Finding Coherent Health: The Power of Light and Water
Join us for an enlightening workshop with BSEM's president, author and ecological medicine practitioner, Dr Damien Downing
COHERENT HEALTH
What does coherent mean? Coherent speech is clear enough; people can understand what you're saying because the elements of your sentence work together to communicate your meaning.The opposite is incoherence.
At a fundamental level, when the right electromagnetic energy hits a molecule, shifts an electron and changes its shape or composition, that's called quantum coherence, the quantum referring to the precise amount of energy. When that continues happening in a regular, ordered manner, you've got an ordered or coherent vibration.
Scientists speak about coherent domains, spaces and systems in which a vibration resonates, meaning it keeps on happening. This was figured out by Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg and others 100 years ago. To celebrate, 2025 has been designated the International Year of Quantum. Coherent health means that all the elements of you, the human, are working together to achieve good health. But where to start?
LIGHT
We are all missing out on daylight – indoor light may be 100 times less intense than full sunlight – and especially ultraviolet light, with special properties. But 50% of the sun’s energy reaching us is in the non-visible near-infrared (NIR) part of the spectrum, and this energy has a “magical” quantum interaction with water that makes life possible. NIR penetrates deep into our tissues, reaching most of our cells.
Living things, including us, use this light energy all the time. Morning light puts us into adrenaline-driven active mode. Daytime activity then triggers the production of melatonin in the mitochondria of every cell in the body to protect us from the inevitable oxidative stress. The brain uses so much energy that it needs special antioxidant protection. When we sleep, the pineal gland pumps melatonin directly into the brain.
Then the brain goes into repair mode, washing toxins and damage out through its own unique glymphatic system.
60-something years ago John Ott broke his glasses and cured his arthritis. He went on to describe mal-illumination; too little sunlight, too much toxic screen light. Then we invented mobile phones and made it all much worse.
WATER
Structured water, EZ (exclusion zone) water, forms wherever water is in contact with a surface. Inside any animal, there is a great deal of surface, so we are about 70% structured water. It is a super-conductor of electricity which enables everything to work better, including mitochondria, which produce our energy. Infrared light hitting structured water builds it deeper.
Ultraviolet light hitting structured water increases the Zeta potential – the negative charge that keeps them separate and flowing. The combination of light and water makes life possible.
But we do keep messing it up. Every year we are exposed to vastly more electromagnetic pollution. Ever-increasing pollution of our air, water and food causes a physical parallel to mal-illumination.
COHERENCE
Under the influence of electromagnetic energy, structured water can form coherent structures – time crystals – that resonate with and store energy – that’s coherence. The energy can be anything from UV light to radio waves. The level of complexity is potentially infinite. All the time we are sending and receiving energy-information as biophotons; from cell to cell, from creature to creature, from Earth to us – Earth’s own Schumann resonances help it to happen.
In the workshop we will look at these fundamentals of existence, and how to work them to your advantage – but to nobody’s disadvantage.
There's also a great lunch! paleo, gluten free, dairy free, low carb and vegetarian catered for as standard.
