**A Biologically Active Combination of
Modulated Magnetic and Microwave Fields: The Priore
Machine**

by **J.B. Bateman**

**Introduction**

A very complicated generator invented by Antoine Priore (or
Priore), a former radar operator without academic qualification,
has been said to produce radiation which causes certain implanted
animal tumors to regress and cures trypanosomiasis in certain
laboratory animals. There are several remarkable things about the
papers describing these biological effects, the most remarkable
being the contrast between the careful detail in which the
biological data thenselves are presented and the absence of
anything but the most vague, and often contradictory, information
about the generator. I have given examples of these disparities
elsewhere (1).

A first consequence of the publication of these communications
in the *Comptes rendus de lAcademie des Sciences* (Paris)
was a violent polarization of opinion within the Academy and in
other French scientific circles. There were some who wished to
ignore or deny any phenomenon, however completely attested,
brought about by inadequately specified means; they would have
opposed presentation of the reports to the Academy and would
probably have succeeded in suppressing them but for the
determined sponsorship oGBP the distinguished
secretaire-perpetuel, Prof. Robert Courrier. Others felt that
the importance of the results, if they could be confirmed, made
further investigation imperative: if possible, with disclosure
of the inventor's "secret"; if not, then without it.

A second result was the journalistic exploitation of a
situation brimming over with human interest. Commentators
(2)(3)(4)(5) ranged from a writer in Esquire who has since
followed another path to notoriety (3) to Lord (Solly) Zuckerman
writing in popular vein (4). None of them resisted the
regrettable impulse to step up the popular appeal by introducing
scientifically irrelevant biographical details about Priore in
order to demonstrate his worthiness for political patronage,
which indeed he has received in abundance. Aside from this, they
maintained a nice balance between sympathy for the victim of
prejudice and healthy scepticism toward his work. Zuckerman, in
a lecture given at the Lovelace Foundation in Albuquerque (5),
gives Priore an honorable place in his catalogue of those whose
innovative achievements remained unrecognized because of
conservative prejudice and ignorance, from Babbage to Peyton
Rous, though not without leaving himself a loophole should the
initial promise not be kept. The main point, he insists, is that
people who believe in what they are doing should refuse to be
discouraged in an atmosphere of incomprehension and hostility.

The present report is the outcome of a visit to Priore's
establishment sponsored by the organization ADERA for those
attending a course of instruction on microwave exposure hazards
(6). I shall write very briefly about the alleged biological
effects, then about the Priore invention itself and the nature
of its biologically active output. Impressions and private
conversations bearing on these matters will be mentioned when
they add, reliably or otherwise, to the total picture.

**Biological Observations ~**

There is a pre-history of verbal recollection and gossip
connected with the Priore invention. Priore himself is said (3)
to have become interested in possible medical applications of
electromagnetic waves upon observing that fruit and vegetables
could be preserved by exposure to ultra-high frequency fields. A
machine was built from US Army surplus and at some stage sick
persons were placed in the field generated (3). According to a
US scientist who has been interested in repeating some of the
Priore experiments, a politically well-connected lady who was
cured in this way of cancer after receiving a prognosis of early
death is still enjoying perfect health in Bordeaux.

The first experiments on cancerous animals were done by Delmon
and Biraben who withheld their results from publication after
receiving an unfavorable report from a committee, and because of
a fear that publication would prejudice the candidature of one
of them for admission to a fellowship (aggregation) (7). They
used (8) rats implanted subcutaneously with a well-characterized
uterine carcinoma, the so-called T8 (Guerin), having previously
studied the effects of x-rays and of pulsed magnetic fields upon
these animals without finding anything particularly noteworthy:
The magnetic fields had no effect on tumor growth or on the
occurrence of lympth node metastases, while the remission
produced by x-rays was only transient. After exposure to the
window of Priores machine, on the other hand, tumor growth
could be stopped for as long as three months afterwards. The
animals recovered good general health, and lymph node metastases
were seldom seen.

The T8 tumor in rats was also used by Riviere and colleagues
(9) from Guerints laboratory in the cancer institute at
Villejuif. They found macroscopic regression of the tumors and
of metastases after treatment and observed no relapses up to
three months thereafter. Their publication anticipated that of
Delmon and Biraben.

Riviere and colleagues then worked with rats implanted with a
lymphoblastic lymphosarcoma which when untreated invariably
proved fatal within 11 to 15 days, with generalized colonization
of the nodes and a leukemic syndrome. Treatment under the Priore
machine led to total regression of the graft and of the
accompanying metastatic and leukemic phenomena (lO). Certain of
these experiments were done with animals from Courrier's
laboratory under the constant supervision of his assistant
Madame Colonge. The results were the same, and Courrier reported
them in an addendum to a further paper by Riviere et al (11)
describing comparable results with a mouse lymphosarcoma.
Further studies with the rat (12) yielded the discovery that
treated rats clinically free of the lymphosarcoma were able to
resorb a second transplant of the isologous tumor while
succumbing to an homologous tumor of a histologically different
type.

Courrier (7) complained that, because of a campaign of
disparagement, no French "cancerologists" offered to repeat
these experiments Shortlived cooperation was however forthcoming
from an English laboratory. According to one account (2),
cancerous mice were sent over to Priore's establishment and some
healthy ones were later sent from there to England, but the
latter were not the ones that had been sent for treatment. The
anonymous director of the English laboratory withdrew his
cooperation, though not without providing "a French colleague"
with a detailed memorandum. In 1977 Courrier (7) issued his own
account of the episode and identified the persons concerned. The
director was the late Sir Alexander Haddow (Institute of Cancer
Research, Royal Cancer Hospital, Univ. of London), and his
envoys to Floirac were E. Whiss and Dr. and Mrs. E.J. Ambrose,
the latter being scientists of some repute. Courrier was
evidently not persuaded that any substitution had taken place,
for he wrote that the rumor was put about: on fait courir le
bruit...

The discovery of specific anti-tumor immunity in the treated
animals may have lent force to the hunch that the Priore
radiation might act upon the immune system of the host rather
than directly upon the cancer cells. At any rate, Professor
Raymond Pautrizel, a parasitologist already associated with the
work of Riviere and Guerin, exposed mice after they had been
injected with a dose of Tryponosoma equiperdum sufficient to
kill them within five days if untreated, and they all survived
(13). At this point extraordinary measures were taken to remove
all suspicion of fraud. The experiments were repeated
successfully under lock and key and under the eye of a bailiff
appointed by a  "Commission de Controle" composed of
university officials and local dignitaries. The official report
was certified by all the members of the Commission. A positive
result obtained under such conditions, said Courrier (7), should
have put an end to all criticism from men of good faith.

In a further series of short papers in the *Comptes rendus
Acad. Sci. Paris* (14) (15) (16) this indirect effect upon
the immune system of animals infected with T. equiperdum was
confirmed and elaborated. These brief published statements
represent a lot of work: just how much was apparent from a
lecture given by Pautrizel during my visit to Floirac. When I
asked about his plan to publish the evidence in detail, he told
me that he had not found a journal willing to accep such a
manuscript.

The evidence presented, furnished by experiments on mice (13)
(14) (16), rats (14) and rabbits (15), follows fairly
conventional lines which I shall not attempt to review in
detail. Briefly: the pathogenic organisms disappeared from the
treated arimals, which survived indefinitely. In rare cases
where the parasites reappeared, they were of a different
antigenic type from those causing the original infection.
Treatment brought about an intense acquired immunity. Some
animals were reinfected 7 times over a period of 6 morths,
eventually with 100 times the original, and otherwise invariably
fatal, dose, Multiple reinfection resulted in a high titer of
agglutinating antibodies. The blood of these animals conferred
upon other normal animals an immunity which persisted for about
45 days. Treatment with an immunosuppressor, cyclophosphamide,
depressed, but did not abolish, the appearance of agglutinating
antibody when infected animals were subjected to Priore
irradiation, although relapse occurred after about 12 days.
Newborn animals died of the infection whether irradiated or not,
and the organisms found in their blood were of the original
strain. Trypanosomal antigen of unspecified nature, injected
intraperitoneally after the first irradiation of infected
animals, caused an enhancement of antibody production. When the
parasites were protected from the host's immune system by being
implanted in a diffusion chamber, Priore irradiation failed to
inhibit their multiplication. In his talk, Pautrizel said that
in order to elucidate further the apparent effect of irradiation
in exalting the mobilization of the immune system, the course of
change of immunoglobulins M and G. of albumin/globulin ratio,
and of agglutinating and hemagglutinating titers was followed in
irradiated and reinfected animals for about one year. The data
were given in detail. With no time in which to understand, much
less to assimilate them, I was left only with the impression
that a clear picture has yet to emerge a conclusion apparently
shared by Prof. Czersky of Warsaw. One point of interest was the
passing mention of a failure to modify the course of a malarial
infection. This is not surprising, perhaps, remembering the
vastly more complex life cycle of the plasmodium and its greater
antigenic variability.

The postulated general stimulation of "defense mechanisms" by
the output of the Priore machine led Pautrizel to ask whether
this effect might extend to the prevention or cure of
atherosclerosis. Another short paper communicated, as usual, by
Courrier (17), described a "spectacular" attenuation of the
hyperlipemia induced in rabbits by a diet of "industrial
granules" supplemented by 1% of cholesterol, resulting in a
daily cholesterol intake by each rabbit of about 1 gram. The
observed effect of irradiation took the form of an inhibition of
increased cholesterolemia, persisting for several weeks after
treatment, and a marked decrease in the extent of aortic
deposition. I find the data rather unconvincing, with quite a
lot of overlap of experirnental and control values. As for the
explanation of the effect, if it can be confirmed, Pautrizel and
colleagues (17) ask whether it could be due to an activation of
lipid catabolism. Strangely enough they do not discuss the role
of macrophages in the regression of tumors, the cure of
trypanosomiasis, or the prevention of hypercholesterolemia,
although macrophage mobilization might provide a common
mechanism.

**The Invention ~**

Much has been written deploring Priore's secretiveness. It has
been an embarrassment in one camp and a ground for dismissing
his invention in another. My own view is that a secretive
inventor and his invention, if important, must be investigated
as a part of the external world, and the obstacle posed by
limited cooperation accepted in the spirit in which the
inaccessibility of nature is accepted as a challenge to our
wits. Priore has in fact been much more considerate than the
Almighty, who after all has provided no blueprints to his
creations, while Priore included in his first paper a footnote
(9) informing us that the physical principle of his invention
has been the subject of a patent (18). How strange that none of
the journalistic commentators, from Zuckerman down the line,
have thought it worthwhile even to mention the existence of this
document. When drawing it to the attention or several members of
the party visiting Floirac, I found astonishment at its
existence followed by doubts as to whether, since they had not
read it, it could contain any information of value. I had no
opportunity to ask Priore about it, but an associate who did so
met with a similar response : it wont help very much, he said.
Nevertheless the apparatus described is presumably that used by
Riviere, in whose paper it is mentioned, and the amount of
detail given is such that, unless indeed it is fraudulent, a
reasonable guess as to the nature of the emerging radiation
ought to be possible for people competent in the field.

With this in mind I planned to include only a summary in this
report, but have now decided upon a full translation (Appendix),
without which the odd flavor of the document would be lost. A
seemingly reasonable description of components and layout is
coupled with a quaint - some might say superstitious - intrusion
of pseudo biology and mention of electrophysiological pioneers
whose identity can only be guessed through a haze of
misspellings. There is, for instance, the choice of modulation
frequency of the magnetic field to match the rhythm of the
patient's heartbeat. There is, too, the comment that the best
results are obtained when the cathode generating a stream of
positive ions is made of molybdenum, the metal whose valency is
closest to the mean valency of the chemical molesules
constituting living tissues.

I leave the reader to form his own impression of the invention
described in the patent, save to mention that the active
radiation emerges from a tube containing a rotating deflector
upon which impinge, from several different sources, a stream of
positive ions accelerated in a cyclotron, a beam of centimeter
waves generated by a magnetron, and a magnetic field. Any or all
of these may be chopped or modulated according to various
patterns. The machine was working during the visit to Floirac.
One could see the exit of the tube beneath which the biological
targets are placed. There was a certain amount of rumbling and
crackling, and the pinkish luminescent plasma appeared to be
turbulent. I asked about the speed of rotation but was told by
one of Priore's assistants that the informatlon is strictly
confidential. I could guess it to be well under 100 rpm.

**The Emergent Field ~**

After several misleading statements about the nature of the
biologically active field generated by Priore's machine
(mentioned in ref 1), a short paper in the << Comptes rendus >>
described the results of experiments in which two physicists of
established reputation had been allowed to cooperate with
Priore, Pautrizel, and their associates. Berteaud and Bottreau
(19) were able to analyze the radiation in some detail, up to x-
and gamma-ray frequencies. Their report is confined to the
assertion that they have established the presence of a 904-GHz
pulsed electromagnetic wave, amplitude modulated at HF frequency
17 MHz, and a slowly modulated continuous magnetic field of the
order of 1 kG. Other components, if detected, are not mentioned.
There exists, I am told, a confidential report of the whole
investigation. Bottreau assured me personally that there was no
trace of ionizing radiation.

Berteaud and coworkers (19) also mapped the intensity
distribution of these radiations in a plane perpendicular to the
axis of the apparatus. Then, using as targets mice infected with
T. equiperdum, they were able to demonstrate a simple
relationship between the rate of decrease of parasitemia in
these animals and the relative intensity of the UHF component.
However, in separate experiments they found that fatalities
among infected mice were not decreased when the animals were
exposed to an unmodulated 9.4-GHz field of comparable intersity.
They concluded that the UHF field generated by Priore's machine
is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the observed
biological effects.

The results of Berteaud et al leave us with some unanswered
questions. If their analysis of the field was complete, the
biological activity must rest jointly on the UHF ccmponent and
the magnetic field. How critical are the exact values of the
many parameters involved and the relationship between them for
the manifestation of biological activity ? Is it possible that
the methods available to Berteaud and coworkers were incapable
of furnishing a complete analysis ?

One can only speculate. It has struck me that in all the papers
describing the biological effects of this radiation, there is
nowhere any mention of any search for the correct operating
conditions of the machine. Apparently the machine, if it works
at all, always produces results, and one must remember that two
different models have been built and found to be effective. The
one quantity that is resularly mentioned is the magnetic field
strength, 620 G in the first model and 1240 G in the second. The
patent document seems to suggest that there is great flexibility
in the mode of operation. It is moreover almost inconceivable
that Priore could have had any genuine theoretical basis upon
which to favor one particular set of patterns over another in
relation to biological changes that are themselves of
intractable complexity and totally unpredictable. One is bound
to suspect that the exact mix is anything but critical, and that
if the reported biological effects are genuine they might very
well be brought about by much simpler means. It is of some
interest that extremely sharp frequency selectivity has been
claimed in recent biological experiments with monochromatic
microwaves, in contrast to the sort of flat response surmised in
the present context. The need for fine tuning could of course be
obviated in a machine designed for sturdiness and broad
applicability by arranging for it to generate "white" energy
with respect to the several decisive characteristics, including
modulation frequencies and perhaps their derivatives, or
alternatively to generate an output which varies rapidly in real
time, systematically or randomly, over a sufficiently wide range
of values. The biological effects of such radiation would then
he the sum of Various qualitatively and quantitatively different
selective processes including the possible cancellation of
additive effects such as stimulation and inhibition. However,
total nullification would be no more likely than it is, for
instance, in the visible everyday consequences of illumination
by sunlight. Such an approach, if it has been adopted by Priore
or if it has emerged fortuitously as an unforseen property of an
assemblage of components chosen on the basis of some other
rationale, would account for the extravagance of the machine in
energy consumption in return for a very modest biological yield.
There is no immediate evidence for this in the statements of
Berteaud and Bottreau (19), but the relevant quality of
"whiteness" might apply pertinently to other parameters than
those investigated by them. The possibility that some hitherto
unrecognized feature of the radiation from a rotating plassa may
be responsible for the Priore effects should not be dismissed
out of hand, at any rate by those who, like myself, know nothing
about plasmas. Dr. John Carstoiu of Brookline, MA, who counts
among his accomplishments an extension of the Maxwell equations
to the evaluation of ponderomotor forces, likes to call the
Priore machine a magnetohydrodynamic wave guidea He considers
the acceleration of the plasma to be a significant feature. He
refers to the various types of oscillation that may be set up
but does not, and presumably cannot, say how they can manifest
themselves across a quartz window. One's naive reaction is to
doubt, in any case, whether the accelerations attainable in an
apparatus as described in the patent document would be great
enough to initiate a gravitational wave of any significance.
Unless the suggestion is an obvious absurdity to a plassa
physicist, somebody will have to do the arithmetic.

**The New Generator ~**

The further development of Priore's invention is being done
under the auspices of an organization set up for the purpose :
the Societe d'Exploitation du Rayonnement Antoine Priore (SERAP)
which brings Priore into formal relationship with a company,
Moteurs Leroy Somer of Angouleme. This company has been the
recipient of a $ 0.7 million contract from the DGRST (Delegation
Generale a la Recherche Scientifique et Technique) for the
construction of a third machine of greatly increased output.
Priore has been reported (3) to predict that the cost is more
likely to be $ 3 million. No doubt other sources of funding are
available. In return for such support Priore promises a much
bigger and better machine that will generate a more intense
field of much larger cross section than those with which the
results already reported were obtained. So, one can guess,
larger groups of small animals will be irradiated simultaneously
for shorter periods than formerly and the rate of accumulation
of data will increase -- if, that is, the biological
measurements can keep pace. Perhaps too, by the same token,
small groups of large animals will be treated, with the single
sick human as the ultimate target of the entire endeavor.

Little was learned of this latest development during my visit
to Floirac. The Priore residence is coming to look like an
industrial laboratory of electrical engineering geared to pilot
scale operations. There are rumors of serious technical
difficulties such as might have been anticipated in scaling up
such a complicated device. It is said to be proving difficult,
for instance, to construct a pyrex container able to cope with
the very high energy flux in the plasma.

Is the new machine really needed? At the technical level the
answer is almost certainly "no". Evidently technical
considerations are overruled by others, no doubt of a personal,
political, and even patriotic nature. The whole operation takes
on a farcical aspect when one considers that the only genuine
need in the present state of affairs is to get independent
confirmation, or refutation, of results already obtained with
equipment that was clearly adequate for the original
experiments. The funds now made available would suffice for the
building of several replicas of the Mark 2 machine. These,
placed in selected centers of research, could be used by
independent teams for a critical repetition and extension of
earlier findings. The success or otherwise of the time-consuming
attempt to build a giant machine is largely irrelevant to the
central doubts that persist as to the claims made for the Priore
radiation, and this expensive diversion of effort betrays a
certain recklessness which ill serves the quest for a solution
to the mystery surrounding "L'affaire Priore."

**US Patent # 3,280,816**   
**US Cl. 128-1.3 ~ October 25, 1966**

**Method of Producing Radiations for
Penetrating Living Cells**

**Antoine Priore**

This invention relates in a general way to radiations capable
of penetrating matter. More precisely, it has for its object to
provide a method for obtaining a combination of radiation of
different kinds capable of penetrating matter, and more
particularly of penetrating intimately into living organic
tissues and producing certain effects therein and most notably
in human tissues for therapeutic purposes, without destroying
therein such essential elements as the enzymes for instance.

In accordance with the present invention, electrically charged
particles are emitted into a cavity, and onto this emission is
superimposed a centimetric electromagnetic radiation the
wavelength of which preferably lies between 3 cm and 80 cm, and
the resulting radiation issuing from said cavity is directed
onto the target to be irradiated.

The applicant has noted that the penetration and particularly
the curative effects are very markedly improved when the
frequency of the electromagnetic radiation is determined
according to the organ or tissue to be penetrated or treated.
For example, a wavelength of 14 cm is suitable for the liver and
a wavelength of 19.5 cm for the spleen.

The charged particles radiated are preferably accelerated in a
particle accelerator in order to increase the penetration force.

The resulting radiation is preferably applied to and directed
at the target, namely at the tissue to be penetrated, by means
of a tube which is the seat of accelerating and directing
magnetic fields and electrical fields, said radiation being with
advantage directed and/or reflected by a rotary deflecting
device placed within the tube.

In many cases it will be of advantage to modulate the particle
radiation or to produce it rhythmically by means of varying
magnetic and/or electrical fields whereby to further increase
the penetration force. Such a rhythm is preferably tuned,
particularly in medical applications, to the natural period
(oscillation time) of the tissue to be penetrated or of the
tissues adjacent thereto, an example being the muscles. These
natural periods are well known in medicine and are applied for
diathermy in particular; they lie in the range of wavelengths
extending from 1 meter to 50 m and more specifically from 1 m to
18 m.

Means are preferably provided for modulating the emitted
radiations, the accelerating electrical and magnetic fields, and
possibly also the rotary deflecting device, in step with the
patients heartbeats.

It would appear that the positive results obtained with this
invention in the treatment of disorders of the living cells (be
they vegetable or animal), are due to certain phenomena which
will be discussed hereinafter, it being of course understood
that such discussion in no way limits the spirit and scope of
the invention.

Depending on its electro-physico-chemical constitution, the
cellular protoplasm-nucleus couple is endowed with electrical
conductivity which is related directly to the ionic exchange
motions caused by metabolic phenomena. Indeed one notes in the
tissues the presence of accumulations of electricity under
potentials that differ according to the varying cell densities
of the tissues.

The work conducted by Renshaw, Forbes, Morison, Amassian, De
Vito, Buser, Albe-Fessard, Tau, Adrian, etc., has demonstrated
with the aid of microelectrodes the existence of a
slow-oscillation-type elemental electrical activity within the
cells, while the pace-maker can be regarded as being provided by
the oscillating electromagnetic system formed by the cell
nucleus. Basically, indeed, the nucleus consists of tubular
filaments of insulating material (akin to chitin) containing
therein an electricity conducting saline liquid, and these
filaments, twisted onto themselves, can be likened to veritable
little oscillating circuits.

Recent work carried out by Warson in America, as well as other
work carried out by French researchers, including a paper by
Messrs. Polonsky, Douzou, and Sadron, read on 16 May 1960 before
the Academy of Science by Prof. Francis Perrin (Collected Weekly
Reports, Tome 250, No. 20, pp 3414-3416), brought out the fact
that the experimental solid deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples
used revealed properties similar to the familiar properties of
ferro-electric bodies, thus giving verisimilitude to the
hypothesis that a difference of potential can exist across the
nucleus and the periphery of the cells. Certain recent theories
even go further and liken the cell to an electronic
receiving-emitting device that operates in the normal state with
a frequency attuned to the ambient media. In accordance with
these recent theories, the cell nucleus forms a damped-wave
oscillating system which obeys the laws governing
semi-conducting bodies.

The applicant has come to the firm conclusion that, in the
normal state of physico-electrical equilibrium, the cell nucleus
is positively charged but that it can become negatively
overcharged following phenomena similar to polarization. It is
believed that the results obtained by the applicant by treating
living cells with the resulting radiation of the invention are
due to restoration of a correct electrical potential of the
nuclei.

this invention.

Referring first to Figure 1, the apparatus shown thereon
includes a device 1 emitting electrically charged particles 2
into a cavity or duct 3, a cyclotron 4 for accelerating
particles 2 and sending them into a conduit 5 in communication
with a further cavity 6 forming a waveguide for an
electromagnetic radiation of centimetric frequency emitted by a
magnetron 7. The cavity 8 formed by the union of conduit 5 with
a waveguide 6 leads to a tube 9 for accelerating and directing
the resulting radiation. The cavity jointly formed by elements
1, 3, 5, 6, 8 and 9 contains argon under a pressure of 2 mm Hg.

The particle emitter 1 consists of an electron gun having a
plate 10 and a cathode 11.

Cathode 11 is made of molybdenum and is shaped in a very
special manner shown in Figures 1 and 2. It includes a rim 11a
which is joined through two diametrically opposed radii 11b to a
hub 11c embodying a hole 11d of axis XX. Rim 11a is made up of
two parts (as shown in Figure 1) assembled together by means of
screws or the like, and embodies a cavity of revolution 11e in
the walls of which are provided a plurality of uniformly spaced
pairs of opposed holes 11f parallel with axis XX. Within cavity
11e is disposed a heating filament 12 connected to the supply
leads 12a.

The best results are obtained with a cathode 11 made of
molybdenum. However, the applicant obtained satisfactory, though
less good, results with tungsten cathodes. It so happens that
molybdenum, and to a lesser extent tungsten, are metals the
valence of which is nearest the mean valence of the chemical
molecules that make up living tissue and more particularly human
tissue. Whereas a scientific explanation based on observation of
the phenomena involved could be attempted, it is to be clearly
understood that the invention is by no means limited by any such
scientific explanation. Further, insofar as the low-pressure gas
in the device is concerned, optimum results are obtained with
argon. However, the applicant also obtained satisfactory, though
less good, results with the other gases of the family of rare
gases.

Surrounding the tube forming the electromagnetic chamber are
disposed an electromagnet 13 with its coil 13a, placed level
with the cathode, and the accelerating coils 14 and 15. Further
accelerating coils 14a, 15a, 16a and 14b, 15b, and 16b are
likewise arranged about cavities 3 and 5 respectively.

The two semi-circular boxes or Ds 4a of cyclotron 4 are placed
in the customary fashion between the frame poles, and said frame
is surrounded by accelerating windings 4b and 4c.

Magnetron 7 is of any convenient known design and must be
capable of emitting into cavity 3 a centimetric radiation of
wavelength adjustable between 3 cm and 80 cm.

Accelerating and directing tube 9 is provided in its lower part
with a cathode 17 similar to cathode 11, together with a heating
filament 17a. Cathode 17 is supported on a hollow base 18
embodying holes 18a adjacent where it joins the end closure of
tube 9. Said base 18 communicates with a tube 18b which has an
open end adjacent a rotary deflector 19 provided with two rings
of graphite plates 19a inclined at 45 degrees to the vertical.
The shaft 19b of the rotary deflector is rotatably supported in
a bearing 20 fixed with magnetic fly-weights 19c which set it in
rotation by coacting with magnetic fly-weights 21a rigid with
the shaft 21b of a motor 21. The lower extremity of rotary
deflector 19 consists of a pyramid-shaped molybdenum or tungsten
part 19d the apex of which is situated opposite the open end of
tube 18b to deflect the radiation downwardly towards the target.
The lower part of bearing 20 forms the plate or anode 22 of tube
9.

Hollow base 18and tube 18b can be made of some boro-silicate
glass of low coefficient of expansion, such as Pyrex.
Alternatively, they can be made of quartz. Tube 9 likewise can
be made of Pyrex-type glass, or of any other glass of the
quality commonly used for manufacturing electron tubes, but its
end closure 9a, through which the radiation passes, is
preferably made of quartz.

Conduit 8 communicates with tube 9 via a plurality of pipes
such as 8a and 8b directed at a certain angle, along vertical
planes, towards plates 19a, said angle being preferably in the
region of 22.5 degrees, About cathode 17 is disposed an
electromagnet 23 similar to the electromagnet 13 of radiating
tube 1. About tube 9 are likewise disposed accelerating coils
24. At the points shown on the drawing, tube 9 also includes
three electrodes 25, 25a and 25b surrounded respectively by
coils 26, 26a and 26b. On the drawings are also represented the
feeders 17b and 17c of the cathode and its filament, and 22a of
the anode.

The power supply circuit diagram is shown on Figure 4. The main
supply 27 supplies low-voltage alternating current to a first
branch comprising a rectifier 28 (a kenotron, for instance), the
rectified current from which is modulated to a rate adjustable
between 30 and 120 pulses per minute by means of a resistor 29
the control system of which will be described hereinafter with
reference to Figures 7 and 8. The current modulated thus is
applied to electromagnets 13 and 23 whereby to cause them to
generate, at the level of cathodes 11 and 17, a modulated
unidirectional field of 10,000 to 20,000 gauss.

The main supply 27 also powers a variometer 30 which is adapted
to be operated to modulate the current from at a rate which is
adjustable between 30 and 120 pulses per minute, and the current
issuing from variometer 30 supplies the remainder of the system,
to wit:

The magnetron 7:

A converter set 31 the excitation of which is modulated at a
frequency variable from 300 to 900 cps; this provides a direct
current for supplying coils 15, 16, and 26, which is doubly
modulated (first at 30 to 120 pulses per minute, then at a
frequency of 300 to 900 cps);

A further converter set 32 producing low-voltage direct current
modulated to a rate of 30 to 120 pulses per minute by virtue of
variometer 30; this current supplies motor 21, together with the
motors driving variometer 30 and the control device of resistor
29.

The current produced by converter set 32 additionally feeds a
voltage step-up device 33 comprising a vibrator followed by a
transformer and a rectifier and generating a direct current the
voltage of which varies in step with the 30 to 120 pulses per
minute rate imposed by variometer 30. The maximum value of this
voltage produced by device 33 could be 300,000 volts for
instance, but this figure can vary either way, depending on the
power to be brought into play.

The current produced by voltage step-up device 33 feeds the
windings 4b of the cyclotron and 24 of the tubes 9, as well as a
rheostat 34 which permits adjusting the voltage to the desired
value between 5000 volts and 70,000 volts. This voltage is
applied to an oscillating circuit 35 which imparts thereto
oscillations of frequency adjustable as desired between
wavelengths of 1 m and 18 m. The current available across the
output terminals 35a and 35b of oscillating circuit 35 is
consequently high tension current that is initially modulated to
30 to 120 pulses per minute (by virtue of variometer 30) and
subsequently to a wavelength of 1 m to 18 m. This current
supplies the coils 4c and 14. Electrodes 25a and 25b are
respectively connected to terminals 35a and 35b, while electrode
25 is connected to the mid-point 35c.

The cathodes 11 and 17, the cyclotron Ds 4a and the plates 10
and 22, which are not shown on the block diagram of Figure 4m
are connected to the output end of voltage step-up device 33,
the preheat current for filaments 11e and 17a being furnished by
resistor 29.

To use the apparatus according to this invention, the control
system of resistor 29 and variometer 30 is set to the required
pace which, in medical applications, is preferably the patients
pulse rate: this rate is thus imposed on the system as a whole.
Cathode 11 emits a stream of positively charged particles 2
leftwardly, which particles are concentrated by electromagnet 13
and accelerated by windings 14, 15, and 16 and by cyclotron 4.
To this radiation of particles is added, in conduit 8, the
electromagnetic radiation of magnetron 7 which is adjusted to a
wavelength shown by experience to be the most favorable for the
cells to be penetrated, examples being 14 cm for the liver and
19.5 cm for the spleen. The resulting radiation is directed and
accelerated in tube 9 and then directed by the base thereof
towards the target to be penetrated.

It should be noted that the unidirectional magnetic field of
coils 15, 16 and 26 is modulated by converter set 31 to a
frequency adjustable between 300 and 900 cps. The result of this
modulation is to concentrate the particles, i.e., detach them
from the conduit walls, and also to enable a substantial saving
to be made on the weights of the iron cores of the coils.

The unidirectional magnetic fields of the cyclotron coils 4c
and the accelerating coils 14, and the electrical field of the
electrodes 25, 25a and 25b, are modulated by oscillating circuit
35 to a wavelength selected between 1 m and 18 m. In medical
applications in particular, the wavelength chosen is that best
suited to the organ to be treated or to such adjacent parts
thereof as the muscles. As already stated, diathermy experiments
will enable the most appropriate wavelength to be determined.

It should be noted that the resulting radiation already
possesses considerable penetration force in conduit 8 (see
Figure 1). The device herein before described can therefore be
used without tube 9 and by bounding the cavity at the extremity
of conduit 8 by means of a glass or quartz end closure, the
resulting radiation being accelerated and directed immediately
upstream thereof, for instance by an ultimate coil (not shown)
surrounding conduit 8. However, tube 9 substantially improves
the results obtained.

Reference is next had to Figures 5 and 6, which illustrate an
alternative embodiment of th apparatus according to this
invention, wherein components performing like functions are
designated by the same reference numerals as those on Figures 1
and 3, followed by the prime symbol.

In Figure 5, the disposition of the conduits with respect to
tubes 1 and 9, magnetron 7 and cyclotron 4, differs from
that of Figure 1 and has been used with success by the
applicant. The waveguide 6 of magnetron 7 is connected to the
extremity of tube 1, while conduit 3 conveying the resulting
radiation divides into two branches: branch 25 surrounded by
accelerating coils 14c and 15c, which conveys the radiation
directly to tube 9 and branch 37 which conveys its to cyclotron
4. The latter arrests the electromagnetic radiation and
accelerates the radiated particles which are dispatched into
tube 9 through conduit 38.

This particular disposition can be used with particle-emitting
and accelerating-and-directing tubes similar to tubes 1 and 9 of
the preceding figures. However, the tubes 1 and 9 of Figures 5
and 6 are designed differently insofar as their cathodes and
anodes are concerned.

Tube 1 includes a first electrode 11 exactly similar to the
cathode 11 of tube 1, and a second identical electrode 39
provided with a heating filament 39a. Tube 9 (see Figure 6)
includes in its lower part a first electrode 17 with its
heating filament 17a, and a second identical electrode 40 with
its heating filament 40a.

In normal operation, i.e., to produce a radiation identical to
that described with reference to Figures 1 through 4, electrode
11 serves as a cathode and electrode 39 is subjected to a
positive potential and performs the function of plate 10 of
Figure 1m the filament 39a not being heated. Electrode 40 and
its filament 40a are placed out of circuit, and cathode 17 and
plate 22 are energized as in the case of Figure 3.

To obtain unusually penetrating radiation, the polarities are
reversed: electrode 11 becomes an anode and its filament 11e
is placed out of circuit, while electrode 39 is energized as a
cathode and its filament 39a is heated; electrode 17 (the
filament 17a of which is out of circuit) and electrode 22
become anodes, while electrode 40 is connected as a cathode and
its filament 40a is heated. By way of example, it is possible to
establish a potential of 250,000 volts across electrodes 40 and
17, and of 50,000 volts across electrodes 40 and 22. It will
be appreciated that, this being so, cathode 39 will emit a
stream of electrons leftwardly, which will be concentrated,
modulated and accelerated by the various coils as well as in the
cyclotron, the polarities of which must manifestly be
established in the suitable sense. This electron radiation is
combined with the centimetric radiation emitted by magnetron 7,
and there results in tube 9 a very hard emission, modulated to
the chosen frequencies of x-rays combined with the centimetric
radiation of desired frequency.

Thus, the apparatus of Figures 5 and 6 permits obtaining at
will wither this very hard x-ray emission, or the radiation
described with reference to the preceding figures. If the very
hard x-ray emission is obtained, converter set 31 is preferably
adjusted to feed coils 15, 16 and 26 with a current modulated
at the highest frequencies (i.e., close to 900 cps).

The description which follows with reference to Figures 7
through 9 relates to a number of features of the devices
utilized for obtaining modulation of the electric current.

Figure 7 is a schematic illustration of the control system of
resistor 29 and variometer 30. Adjustable resistor 29 is
provided with a graphite helical member 29a immersed in a
conductive liquid 29b into which dips partly a graphite
electrode 29c to which a reciprocating motion is imparted by a
connecting rod 41a pivotally connected to a flywheel 41. The
latter is rotated through an endless screw transmission 41b by a
shaft 42b, either by a motor 43 or by the shaft 30a of
variometer 30, which variometer is in turn driven by a motor 44
through an endless screw type transmission 44a.

Reciprocating movement of electrode 29c will vary the surface
thereof which dips into the conductive liquid 29b, and
accordingly will vary the resistance between electrodes 29, 29a
of resistor 29, at a rhythm which is equal t the rpm imparted to
flywheel 41. Rhythmically variable resistor 29 is shunted by a
resistor which is shown diagrammatically, resulting in a
component having a rhythmically variable resistance, which is
inserted in the line (Figure 4) feeding electromagnets 13, 23
with rectified current delivered by rectifier 28.

If flywheel 41 is driven by motor 43 at suitable speed,
resistor 29 will vary the current energizing electromagnets 13
and 23 (Figures 1 and 4) a the chosen rhythm which, as explained
above, can be included between 30 and 120 pulses per minute and
which can be monitored by means of a revolution-counter
represented schematically at 45. When this is the case, motor 44
of variometer 30 can be stopped, thus no longer subjecting the
remainder of the system to a set pace. Conversely, if the drive
to flywheel 41 is engaged at 42b and released at 42a, motor 44
will act as a pace-maker for variometer 30 and resistor 29.

The rotational speed of motors 43 or 44 can be adjusted to an
appropriate speed corresponding substantially to the patients
pulse rate, by operating on the exciter of said motors by means
of a manually adjustable rheostat. Should it be preferred to
have the speed of motors 43 or 44 governed directly by the
patients pulse rate, a device such as the one illustrated
schematically in Figure 8 can be resorted to. In Figure 8, a
contact type microphone is connected at 46 and produces pulses
when placed on the patients heart. These pulses are amplified
in the circuit shown and are applied to an electromagnet
represented at 47, of which the moving core operates a rheostat
for adjusting the excitation current to motors 43 or 44.

Figure 9 is the circuit diagram of oscillating circuit 35. The
rectified voltage adjustable between 5000 and 70,000 volts by
means of rheostat 34 (see Figure 4) is applied across terminals
48 and 48a. Terminal 35c (which is also connected to electrode
25 in Figures 2 and 4) is connected to the neutral point, on the
high tension side, of the transformer which is a component port
of voltage step-up device 33 (See Figure 4). Terminals 49 and
49a receive the heating current produced by resistor 29.
Adjustable capacitors 50 and 50a permit of adjusting the current
available across the output terminals 25a and 25b of the
oscillator represented to the desired wavelength (which, as
already indicated, lies between 1 m and 18 m).

Although the specific embodiments described hereinbefore have
been experimented with successfully, it goes without saying that
they are given by way of example only and could be variously
modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the
invention. In particular, the electron gun 1 or 1 could be
replaced by any other convenient particle emitter.

*Dedication*: This short paper is dedicated to the memory
of the late Chris Bird, a noted researcher, colleague, and
stalwart friend who first acquainted me with the Priore affair
and with the remarkable results that were obtained by Priore and
his associates. Some months prior to his passing, Chris gave me
most of his most important Priore file, including the thesis
submitted by Priore to the University of Bordeaux (the actual
document itself). We sorely miss his booming voice and ever
cheerful encouragement.

We also express our deep thanks to my colleague Alain Beaulieu
for translating the Priore thesis and several other important
French documents dealing with the Priore affair.

We further reiterate our remembrances to Bob Whitney and Frank
Golden, when we tried so hard to revive the Priore machine and
work while Priore was still alive. For our efforts we were
resoundingly suppressed. God willing, your efforts will yet
prove to have been worthwhile. At least we have finally
deciphered the exact mechanism by which the Priore machine was
able to accomplish its astonishing cures. We shall continue
striving to see that the Priore work has not been in vain, and
that at some point the scientific community accepts and uses the
fact that Priore had discovered how to time-reverse the treated
diseased cells back to a previous healthy cell state.

Antoine Priore was born in Italy. He graduated from a small
provincial school for electricity in Trieste, Italy and became a
radar technician and operator in the Italian Navy. By some
manner he became a prisoner of the Germans (apparently after
Italy left the war in WW II), and was moved as a forced laborer
for the Nazi to the vicinity of the submarine base in Bordeaux,
France.

When it became obvious the Germans were losing the war and were
preparing to leave, Priore realized he would be killed. He
approached a French police agent to plead for his life. That
police officer worked clandestinely for the French underground.
He put Priore in his car and drove him out of the base to
safety. He took Priore to the nearby province of Dordogne, and
introduced him to the 7th Battalion of French underground
resistance fighters. Priore distinguished himself in military
operations and was eventually decorated by the French
Government.

Thankful to the French for saving his life, and loyal to his
French companions-in-arms, Priore decided after the war to live
in Bordeaux. He was encouraged by his French resistance friends
such as Jacques Chaban-Delmas who later rose to become the
French Prime Minister.

For some time Priore worked as an electrical repairman and did
research on exposing plants, etc. to EM radiation.

Priore was introduced to Francis Berlureau, former Director of
Studies at the School for Veterinary Medicine in Toulouise, and
director of the Bordeaux abbatoir at the time. He worked
together with Berlureau for some 10 years. He noticed effects on
a cancerous bulls testicles, then began exposing various
animals such as cats to the radiations of his early apparatus.
The histological work was done by Professor Drieux at the famous
Veterinarian School of Maisons-Allfort, near Paris. Drieux wrote
a technical report proving that the cats cancer, developing
before treatment, was benign after treatment.

By 1953 Priore began treating human patients whose cancers had
been judged hopeless. Fournier maintained a huge file of such
human cases, but the file later was mysteriously lost.
Nonetheless, Priore cured cases of a malignant form of Hodgkins
disease, a case of cancer of the larynx, etc.

Attempts to interest leading Bordeaux physicists and leading
cancer experts in the results of the new approach were laughed
off or dismissed with stony silence.

Priores response was to build a new and more complicated
version of his treatment device. Secretly he treated dozens of
hopeless cancer patients. At Priores funeral, a small platoon
of mourners was composed of the now-older people who had been
cured of their terrible afflictions by Priore in the late 1950s.

He was introduced to Professor Tayeau, vice dean of Bordeauxs
Medical Faculty, in latter 1959-early 1960. Priore was sent to
Biraben, head of the Facultys Department of Pathological
Anatomy, and his assistant, Delmon. To their utter surprise,
grafted T-8 tumors in animals subsequently treated with Priores
machine were reduced by 60%, a first in the history of
cancerology.

The mayor of Bordeaux, who later became prime minister of
France, was Jacques Chaban-Delmas. He was a fellow resistance
fighter and very interested in Priores work. Chaban-Delmas
invoked two commissions of Bordeaux and Parisian scientists to
study the Biraben-Delmon results in detail. Both commissions
rejected Priore and his machine offhandedly. Biraben and Delmon
could not explain the nature of the radiations from Priores
machine. A certain professor Lachapele on the first commission
was ever an ardent foe of the Priore method, dismissing the
results offhand because the tumors were grafted. His view
prevailed. Neither of the commissions interviewed Priore
himself, nor did they run an experiment under their own control.

Biraben and Delmon continued their experiments, achieving
unequivocal and complete success, but because of the political
climate in the medical community, did not publish these
outstanding results. Biraben, e.g., was told he could either get
his degree or publish his research, but not both. Biraben and
Delmon finally published a memoir in the Revue of
Comparative Pathology. But a vicious campaign to destroy
the Priore work and suppress it was already underway.

Other persons involved with Laffair Priore were: Professor
Guerin, at the cancer institute at Villejuif (equivalent to the
American National Cancer Institute in Bathesda, Maryland).
Buerin was a co-discoverer of the T-8 tumor. Guerin assigned his
colleague Marcel-Rene Riviere to delve into the entire question.
Reviere confirmed the Biraben-Delmon findings. A note was sent
for publication in the Proceedings of the French Academy of
Science. Reviere also tested the Priore Ray against other types
of tumors, achieving spectacular results.

Robert Courrier, an eminent endocrinologist still in his 30s, a
full professor, and Secretaire Perpetuel to the Academy of
Sciences and head of the biology section (and later to become
President of the Academy of Medicine), took up the cudgel to
interest high French scientists and scientific agencies. The
CNRS director took offense because Priore was essentially
self-taught and not academically credentialed. Others did not
understand anything at all about the machines operation. To
Bordeaux, Courrier sent his trusted assistant Madame Colonge, to
repeat Rivieres experiments under her personal supervision. A
physicist sent to examine the machine could make "neither heads
nor tails" of its operation. There is little wonder! The Priore
machine involved a dramatic extension to present nonlinear phase
conjugate optics (NLO) before NLO was even born! It also
involved a dramatic extension to both U(1) electrodynamics and
to general relativity. It is also little wonder that Priore, who
discovered the process by intuition and by trial and error,
could not explain the operation of his own machine or the
mechanism by means of which the cures were accomplished by the
"ray" emitted by his device. In fact, the best physicists in
France could not comprehend or explain the mechanism whereby
such spectacular results were produced by Priore's machine when
used to treat patients with non-ionizing EM radiation from it.

On May 1, 1965, Robert Courrier formally presented the
astounding Priore results to the assembled French Academy of
Science. He was met with stony silence. A leading cancer
specialist even stalked out of the assembly hall in full view.
No serious discussion among the scientists present at the
meeting ever took place.

Controversy and research continued, in the midst of a raging
controversy over "lAffair Priore".

Priores sister in Italy then came down with cancer. Priore
issued an ultimatum to his associates to build the bigger
machine he needed, so that he could save his sisters life.
Conventional engineers repeatedly changed Priores design,
thinking many components unnecessary, etc. and causing machine
failures. Priores sister died (mid-60s) before the machine
could be finished because of these unnecessary setbacks. A
grief-stricken Priore went into isolation, unwilling to talk to
anyone.

In early 1967, Professor Raymond Pautrizel entered the picture.
At 40, Pautrizel was an eminent parasitologist, on the Faculty
of Medicine at Bordeaux, and soon became known worldwide as the
"father of parasitological immunity." Pautrizel was awarded the
first academic chair in France for immunology, and later headed
a special unit on parasitological immunology. [This subject is
of particular significance to the study of AIDS, because it
deals also with the continual adaptation and genetic change of
the invading parasites and agents.] Pautrizel specialized on a
particularly lethal parasite, the trypanosome family (which
causes sleeping sickness, equine syphilis, and other
afflictions). Pautrizel was one of the first scientists to
recognize and utilize ambivalence in biological drugs. Pautrizel
also noticed that the Priore ray was not *killing* the
tumor cells, and therefore must be doing something else instead.
Pautrizel personally persuaded the distraught Priore to return
to work.

From 1966 on, many papers were published on the results of
applying the Priore technique to various animals and diseases.
The results continued to be revolutionary.

Another scientist-ally of Priores was Pierette Chateau-Reynaud
Duprat. Over the years she worked with the Priore method,
showing that the Priore ray had no direct effect on the
trypanosomes themselves but stimulated and reinforced the
defense mechanism of the infested organisms. [No one knew to
investigate the regenerative system of the body, poorly
understood and using the very kind of infolded EM extension to
NLO that Priores ray used.] The ray was shown to cause the
rejection of both allografts and isografts, so that the machine
affected not only the defense mechanisms of the organism but
also the recognition system. The original P-1 (Priore 1) machine
affected cellular defense mechanisms. The second machine, P-2,
seemed to act not on the cellular but on the humoral defense
mechanisms.

Priore himself also cured cases of malaria and also
tuberculosis in humans, but apparently did not publish these
results.

Biologist Andre Lwoff went from an ardent skeptic to an admirer
and supporter of Priores work, because of the undisputed
results. His favorable opinion of the Priore results prevailed
in a DRME report on the matter, which was classified for some
years. A synthesis of the report was published in November 1979
by Herbert Gossot, Secretary General for the French Association
for Bioelectromagnetism. Its title was, "A Scientific Balance
Sheet on the Priore Ray." It reports that two physicists who
studied the machine in detail favorably correlated the machines
ray to the results produced, and confirmed the biological
efficacy of Priores device. The two physicists were named
Bottreau and Berteau. In their note to LAcademie, they were not
allowed to even use the names of the laboratories where they
worked, which were (1) the CNRS Magnetic Laboratory at Bellevue
near Paris, and (2) the Laboratory of Ultra-Hertzian Optics and
Talence near Bordeaux.

Eventually the French Government backed the construction of a
more powerful Priore device. Professor Courrier had also sent a
report on Pautrizels behalf to the Nobel Committee in 1979. The
M-600 machine was built but its huge tube functioned only about
a week before it exploded. Meanwhile Pautrizel, working with a
smaller machine, verified the utility of the Priore Ray on
atherosclerosis. Rebuilding the M-600 went slowly. The machine
weighed some 50 tons and required 3-1/2 stories to contain it.
The pyrex tube was 60 cm in diameter and 6 meters tall. It
imploded twice and was replaced each time. The coil which
generated the DC-pulsed magnetic field weighed 5.5 tons and had
11 miles of copper wire. During the week or 10 days that the
machine was in operation, the results were formidable. The
results were presented in notes to the Academy of Sciences by
Pautrizel and his team in 1978.

Pautrizel then came under suppression himself, with funds being
pulled, postings being denied, etc. Pautrizel eventually became
so emotionally overwrought that he gave up his medical career
and retired and gave himself over to alcohol. Every one of the
collaborators of Pautrizel saw their careers put in jeopardy,
compromised, or broken.

About this time Priore's doctoral thesis, backed by both
Pautrizel and Nobel Laureate Andre Lwoff himself, was summarily
refused by the President of the University of Bordeaux.

In 1977 Professor Georges Dubourg urged Priore to treat human
cancer patients and jolt the medical establishment. Pautrizel
contacted Courrier, who gave the green light. A few terminal
cancer patients whose immune defense systems had been
disastrously weakened by chemotherapy or radiation or both, were
treated. At least one was totally cured. The others lived,
without pain, for much longer than predicted by standard
prognosis. The results were submitted to the French Academy of
Medicine for publication  and were rejected.

Pautrizel in final desperation turned to a journalist,
Jean-Michel Graille, to tell the story. Graille researched for
four years, publishing three long articles in Sud-Ouest France,
and finally a book, Dossier Priore: Une Nouvelle Affaire
Pasteur. [The Priore Dossier: A New Pasteur Affair?]
De Noel, Paris, 1984. [in French].

From 1965 to 1980, the Priore project spent about 20 million
francs. Results were positively demonstrated, many of them
sensational.

Priore suffered a debilitating stroke or similar complication
in 1981 and died in May 1983 after a lengthy debilitated period.

Admiral Pierre Emeury, conseiller scientifique de la
presidence, discovered LAffaire Priore. His inquest led him to
conclude that the Priore discovery was the most important
medical discovery of the entire century.

The suppression of such a revolutionary discovery*, even
though its technical methodology was not understood*,
remains one of the heinous examples of scientific dogma blocking
highly innovative research and results. Untold millions of human
lives would have been saved had science and government acted
along scientific lines.

26 p. Deals with the Priore device and its treatment and

has been uncovered. Bateman comes very close when he states that
*"The possibility that some hitherto unrecognized feature of
the radiation from a rotating plasma may be responsible for
the Priore effects should not be dismissed out of hand..."*.
He was quite correct: It was the longitudinal EM radiations and
their induction of time-domain pumping of the nonlinear cells
and every part of them that provided the cellular time reversal
from the diseased state back to the previous healthy state.

scientists. Treatment with the device also cured
arteriosclerosis (clogged arteries) in lab animals, cured
sleeping sickness, and restored suppressed immune systems. The

**Comment:** Lymphosarcoma is a malignant lymphoma
(malignant tumor of lymph or lymph-like tissue) that tends to
metastasize freely and spread throughout the body. It easily
leads to the condition of lymphomatosis, which is the presence
of multiple lymphomas in the body, including wide distribution
through the various organs, lymph tissue, and tissue resembling
lymph tissue. A lymphoblast is a cell giving rise to
lymphocytes, the colorless weakly motile cells produced in
lymphoid tissue and include the cellular mediators of immunity,
constituting some 20 to 30 percent of the leukocytes (white
blood cells) of normal human blood. In effect the experimenters
have healed a transplanted condition that represents a serious
leukemia.

Bearden, T. E. (1997-2001) Collection of various draft research
papers and write-ups. Strongly updates and significantly expands
version of work in 1998 and prior. Pumping any mass with
longitudinal EM waves produces time-reversal of the pumped mass,
and the mechanism and results must be interpreted by a
combination of extended nonlinear optics for time domain pumping
and general relativity. The correspondent to the NLO input
"signal wave" in this case is the spacetime internested
curvatures (the spacetime engine, or vacuum engine) associated
with the pumped mass and all its parts, including even the
quarks in its nucleons. The output is an amplified specific
vacuum *anti*-engine, that precisely reverses the mass
(either living or inert) back over its previous changes of
3-spatial form with respect to the flow of time. This is the
fundamental mechanism utilized by the body's Regeneration and
Recovery (R&R) system, within its limitations. The Priore
approach used a far more powerful application of the body's
method by which the R&R system is able to slowly reverse
cellular damage back to a previous earlier healthy state. The
author has also extended the method by inputting an additional
vacuum engine, so that time-reversal of the mass can be
"steered" into any related form desired, whether or not the mass
ever previously existed in that 3-spatial state. Eventually, we
will probably produce a book from these research draft papers.

Biological Effects of EM Radiation," presented to the 70th
Annual Meeting of the Alabama Academy of Science, University of
Alabama at Huntsville, March 25, 1993. Presents a new definition
of cancer, and a long-term cumulative mechanism for cancer
incorporating all contributing factors. Cancer is often a result
of the body's electrical master cellular control system sending
an order (a *vacuum engine*) to the most affected cells
(in a long condition of hypoxic stress) to dedifferentiate back
toward anaerobic cells, from their dim ancestry on the primeval
earth. Explains in depth how the Priore method causes an
amplified counterorder (an *amplified vacuum anti-engine*)
to be issued, redifferentiating the cancerous cell back to a
normal cell. Note added: This entire engine-antiengine
area and functioning can be adequately modeled in Evans' O(3)
electrodynamics as a subset of Sachs' unified field theory.

Bearden, T. E. (1998) Letter to General (Retired) Walter
Busbee, Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for
Counterproliferation and Chemical/Biological Defense, Subject:
"Saving the Lives of Mass BW Casualties from Terrorist BW
Strikes on U.S. Population Centers," April 2, 1998, 36 p.
Explains that longitudinal EM wave pumping in the Priore device
was time-domain pumping. Viewed general relativistically, this
temporal pumping produced a time-reversal of the entire cellular
mass and all its components, from its diseased state back to a
previous healthy state. Advances an extension to the method
which allows the targeted "past" state to be deliberately
determined as desired, whether or not the pumped mass ever
possessed that physical state. Proposes a crash project to
develop a portable Priore-type treatment unit in 18 months, to
be used in treatment of mass casualties after terrorist BW
attacks on U.S. population centers. 36 p. Two color briefings
and substantial background material were attached to the letter.
The color briefing on weapons of mass destruction and treating
the mass casualties, is now carried on http://www.cheniere.org .
