1. INTRODUCTION

The human hair consists of a follicle anchored in the skin and a protruding shaft. The human hair has been described as a miniorgan Schneider et al. (2009) having its own cells division, metabolism and known to undergo aging stages; eventually, reaching a point where the old falls (shed) and a new hair growing cycle begins. Using atomic magnetometers in an electromagnetic shielded room, Cohen et al. were able to record emitted direct currents (DC) in human hair follicles Cohen et al. (1980)  Most recently in 2015, a tabletop optical microscopy method was developed allowing for the detection of hair follicles and shafts magnetic fields emitting electromagnetic radiation Scherlag et al. (2016) Utilizing this novel/simple microscopy technique, researchers have been able to again identify the follicle and shaft magnetic fields by interacting with drops of diluted ferro or ferriyanide powder, a spectrum of hair follicle/shaft properties were introduced Embi et al. (2015), Embí (2016), Abraham and Embi (2018) In this manuscript qualitative images are presented where the bipolar electrical property of the shaft is inferred by using fresh blood on a glass slide. This inference was consciously recognized by this author after reading a publication by DeLangis and Yen (1986) where they state “The majority of the particles within the blood are negatively charged. Although the intima of the vascular system is negatively charged with respect to the adventitia of the vessel, trauma to the vessel will cause the negative charge to become zero or positive with a concomitant thrombosis at that point” DeLangis and Yen (1986) This finding infers that a negative charge would repel and a positive one will attract blood tissue ensuing coagulation. Additional experiments are presented in this self-review.

 

2. MATERIALS AND METHODS’

Images are presented from single published papers in an attempt to convey document the thinking process leading into a mechanism elucidating the until now suspected, but unknown hair shaft bipolar properties. Appropriate references are listed in this retrospective mini review 

 

3. RESULTS

The Hair Shaft Inherent Unilateral Divergent Charges (+ -) are introduced. Supporting prior experiments are listed below.

The First- Hair Follicle Energy Blocking Particles

Using the optical microscopy methodology developed to detect bioelectromagnetic energy from living tissue, a 2015 paper duplicated the original findings by Cohen et al. (1980) showing human hairs as magnetic fields emitters. In that paper a figure + video showed the hair follicle emitting energy in the form of light rays. These rays are seen blocking particles from totally circumventing the follicle and continue motion towards the contralateral side of the hair shaft. In other words, this was the second unexplained consequential finding, which was reported, published, and filed (Exhibit I). Of interest, the white light circumventing the follicle in Exhibit I xoud be theorized as correlating with the hair follicle’s electromagnetic energy range of ≈ 3 mm as reported in Figure 4 below.

The Second- Bilateral Shaft Cuticles Detachments

Early work showing unexplained bilateral exocuticles detachments. For example, images showing detached shaft exocuticles cuticles in different planes. The bilateral detachment in different laminar flows or planes are shown (Exhibit II). The question arose. What triggers the detached keratin-based cuticles to egress in individual laminar vertical planes? A mechanism was later on described as published in

The Third- Hypothesized Fine Iron Particles Attracted to Magnetic Fields

Potassium Ferricyanide was the substance of choice in the original optical microscopy methodology tailored to detect plants and animals electromagentic radiation.  At the time the authors (I being one of them) emphasized the attraction of fine iron particles as the main factor for the images, it was then concluded “that the intrinsic metabolic activity contribute an (electromagnetic field) EMF which not only attracts the fine iron particles allowing static as well as streaming images reflecting the electromagnetic fields emanating from plant and anima tissues, respectivelly”

 

The Fourth- Potassium Ferricyanide Anisotropy as Main Factor

Upon reviewing the literature, this author read an interesting news report where a property of Potassium Ferricyanide as “fully absorbing incoming EMFs” was mentioned. Of interest was that two papers were cited corroborating the full absorption of electromagnetic radiation Figgis et al. (1969), Baranov et al. (2015)

 

“Full Absorption of EMFs”. Now at Conscious Level”

 

 

Adding Credible Mechanism to Previous Unexplained images

When revisiting the data, the realization that whenever you saw Potassium Ferricyanide crystals was confirmation of the presence incoming bioelectromagentic radiation emitted by living tissue was very reassuring. This is highlighted by a black arrow in (Figure 3) and observed in Figure 4 below.  This new knowledge aided this author in interpreting other similar  images. The  analogy is like now I could suddenly read an interpret a previously undeciphered writing system!

Question: Were fine iron particles needed to document plants and animal tissue electromagnetic radiation?....after all Potassium Ferro or Ferricyanide had been found to “fully absorb” incoming electromagnetic radiation. My recent images such as in Figure 3 were  obtained from the evaporation of solo liquid potassium ferricyanide.

The Fifth- The Shephers Hook Genesis

During the years, in vitro images from experiments of hair follicles on glass slides and covered by different liquids, such as food coloring, calcium carbonate and cyano compunds, all showed truncated magnetic fields unable to fully surround the follicle Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7 Again, the inability of the hair magnetic fields from totally surrounding both sides of the hair shaft was displayed. One more time, a mechanism for the truncated signals was unknown Abraham and Embi (2018)

The Sixth- Inference of Hair Shaft’s BipolarityUnilateral Shaft Electromagentic Radiation Triggering Unilateral Blood Coagulation

 The bipolar electrical property of the shaft is inferred by using fresh blood on a glass slide. Figure 8 This inference was consciously recognized by this author after reading a publication by DeLangis and Yen (1986) where they state “The majority of the particles within the blood are negatively charged. Although the intima of the vascular system is negatively charged with respect to the adventitia of the vessel, trauma to the vessel will cause the negative charge to become zero or positive with a concomitant thrombosis at that point”. This finding infers that a negative charge would repel and a positive one will attract blood tissue ensuing coagulation.

4. SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION

The introduction of a tabletop optical microscopy method able to detect plant and animal tssue EMRs facilitated the introduction of a mechanism explaining the bipolar property of the hair shaft. This presentation could be summarized as follows:

·        The introduction of a tabletop microscopy method facilitated a demostration of the hair follicle’s unique display of electromagnetism not fully surrounding the hair follicle.

·        This phenomenon was described as “The Sheperds Hook Effect”

·        The initial interpretation stated in the tabletop method stated by the authors (I being one of them) emphasized the attraction of fine iron particles as the main factor for the images, it was then concluded “that the intrinsic metabolic activity contribute an (electromagnetic field) EMF which not only attracts the fine iron particles alowing static as well as streaming images reflecting the electromagnetic fields emanating from plant and anima tissues, respectivelly”

·        Only when the Potassium Ferricyanide Anisotropy was realized as having “full absorption of incoming electromagnetic radiation”, is that the absence of crystals in the side of the shaft was correlated with a having a negative charge; and the opposite showing crystals depositions having a positive one, thus identifying the shaft’s bipolarity.

·        The unilateral presence of electromagnetic radiation in the hair shaft was obtained in n=6 experiments.

·        Figure shown below confirms the above by showing Potassium Ferricyanide unilaterally absorbing electromagnetic radiation (by the presence of one-sided crystals) Figure 10 below.

·        Also presented is an electromagnetic image of an in toto tweezers plucked hair follicle. Two novel sequential techniques are needed for this demonstration. The first, the time limited property of a fresh blood smear (approximately 60 seconds). During the “wet stage” the intrinsic blood properties are preserved, i.e.: rejection of foreign materials Abraham and Embi (2019), Embi (2018), Embi (2019)

5. CONCLUSION

Of relevance is the demonstration of the hair shaft as a bipolar (+−) extension of the DC currents emitted by the hair follicle.

The freshly plucked in toto human hair is a bioelectromagnetic cohesive unit; the follicle as a DC current generator; and the shaft as its bipolar electrical outlet, thus supporting and duplicating with a table-top microscopy method Scherlag et al. (2016) the seminal work done by Cohen et al. in the early 1980’s Cohen et al. (1980)
