Description
Bion, a private scientific institute was founded in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, in the year 1990, when our country changed its political system into a democracy. This was the first time it was possible to establish private scientific institutes. Since its beginning the aim of the Bion institute has been to investigate the as yet not very well understood phenomenon of the influence of various electromagnetic fields on organisms. On the one side, this research area covers the influence of weak non-ionizing electromagnetic fields on various living beings (Electro- and Magnetobiology) and on the other the still provocative question of endogenous, at least partially coherent electromagneticfields in organisms and their role in the living process (Bioelectromagnetics). Since 1992 the Institute has been acknowledged as a research organization by the Slovene Ministry of Science and Technology. With the first we try to develop a good biological sensor system which would detect any or certain weak electromagnetic fields. We obtained encouraged results with cress seedling germination treated in certain stress conditions, which react to many weak electric and magnetic fields and with marine algae bioluminescence, which were used to test the theory of pa amagnetic resonance. For these research we are also introducing new organisms on the basis of luminescence measurements and measurements of endogeneous rhythms of various organisms. For long years and besides purely biological methods we also introduced instrumental methods such as computerized electrophotography (which measured the indirect influences of supposedly weak electromagnetic emission from organisms through water or imprinting of molecular information into water) as well as differential contrast photography (which detect weak very subtle changes of ambient luminosity around objects). Many results confirmed our hypotheses and were published in international scientific journals. These methods together with biological sensor tests allowed to detect electric, magnetic as well as subtle properties of various products (which are sold for improving human's health).We are also participating in the development of such products. We also introduce new area of work in the direction of environmental protection. For the purpose of detecting and evaluating polluted water and sediments we offer biological tests on the basis of two methods: bioluminescence measurements of bacteria (Vibrio fischeri) and ultraweak bioluminescence measurements of water cress. From 1993 to 1998 our Institute also actively participated in the project of EU called COST B4 - Unconventional medicine in Europe. Through our work in this filed we tried to improve the methodology of basic research in the field of unconventional medicine, especially on recognizing and checking the effects of ultraweak energy emission, that is commonly covered under the name of bioenergetic healing.
