The Lotus of Brahma- Volume I Porphyrins and the Biological Universe (Paperback)

An actinide dependent shadow biosphere of archaea and viroids in the above mentioned disease states is described. The archaeal porphyrins can contribute to the pathgenesis of metabolic syndrome x, malignancy, psychiatric disorders, autoimmune disease, AIDS, prion disease, neuronal degeneration and epileptogenesis. Archaeal porphyrin synthesis is crucial in the pathogenesis of these disorders. Porphyrins may serve as regulatory molecules modulating immune, neural, endocrine, metabolic and genetic systems. The porphyrins photo-oxidation generated free radicals can produce immune activation, produce cell death, activate cell proliferation, produce insulin resistance and modulate conscious/quantal perception. Porphyrins can regulate hemispheric dominance. The archaeal porphyrins functions as key regulatory molecules with mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptors playing an important role. The role of porphyrins in abiogenesis and origin of life as well as biological universe is discussed
