1. INTRODUCTION

Prior research had demonstrated energy emitted by a commercially available hydrocolloid wound dressing HCWP penetrating a 1 mm glass barrier and altering the metabolism of a human miniorgan a.k.a. hair follicle Figure 1 (Embí (2022), Schneider et al. (2009)). In this manuscript the HCWP energy is also shown penetrating a 1mm glass barrier; this time instead of a human hair follicle as sentinel, the testing was done on human skin lipid droplets.

Images show a newly described effect of HCWP, being the altering of the human lipid droplets membranes as seen in (Figure 2).

Lipids are known to be part of numerous functions, as stated “Lipids perform three primary biological functions within the body: they serve as structural components of cell membranes, function as energy storehouses, and function as important signalling molecules” (Cleveland Clinic Bulletin).

 

2. MATERIALS AND METHODS MATERIALS

Harvested Lipid molecules from human skin and lizard tail Potassium Ferricyanide powder of formula K₃[Fe (CN)₆].

Two stacked glass slides 25x75x1mm Bottled water drops.

Freshly harvested human skin lipid droplets. DuoDerm Hydrocolloid Wound Dressing Paste. Video-Microscope

MacBook Air Apple computer equipped with photo application program.

 

3. METHODS

Two glass slides (25x75x1mm) were used for the purpose of testing the effect of a Hydrocolloid Wound dressing paste HCWP. One drop of the viscous paste was placed in the center of the bottom slide and covered by a second slide. Finger pressure was applied to the top slide causing the HCWP to flatten. Prior to assembly, the top slide was firmly pressed on author’s forehead skin, then the slide side with the adhered lipid molecules was aligned with the bottom counterpart, thus completing assembly. As needed, lipid droplets from human skin and fragments of detached lizard tails were tested outside the HCWP range to compare the effect on lipid droplets. All data including video-recordings stored in a Macbook Pro 14” Apple Computer with Photo Application for data retrieval and interpretations.

 

4. RESULTS

Images and video-recordings are presented of two different approaches aimed to document the radiated energy effect of HCWP penetrating a 1 mm thick glass slide on lipid droplets. This cross-species in vitro approach in human and reptile supports the universality of energy emitted electromagnetic waves from biological and non-biological matter. Both able to penetrate glass barriers and altering the metabolism of a human miniorgan and harvested human skin lipid droplets.

 

5. DISCUSSION

Electromagnetic energy is defined as “Radiation that has both electric and magnetic fields and travels in waves. It comes from natural and man-made sources.

Electromagnetic radiation can vary in strength from low energy to high energy. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays” [Boozalis et al. (2012)].

The unexpected Hydrocolloid paste electromagnetic emissions.

Emitted energy penetrating glass barriers could be the electromagnetic type since in the experiments presented, the HCWP smeared and sandwiched between two glass slides is demonstrated influencing liquid Potassium Ferricyanide crystals through the 1 mm thickness of the sandwich top slide (Figure 1).

Ruling out HCWP crystals as a microscopy image amplification artifact

The microscopy images of the smeared HCWP paste smeared on a glass slide show randomly scattered small crystals. On occasion overlapping crystals are commonly seen (Upper left side Figure 3). This author had to rule out the microscopy light source triggering a magnified image as it penetrates the HCWP as the shown by magnified Potassium Ferricyanide crystals as shown in (Upper right side of Figure 3).

6. THE MAGNIFYING EFFECT OF HCWP

In all experimental preparations, there is a consistent image magnification observed not only in the experiments done for this manuscript; but also displayed in the introductory paper entitled “Introducing Hydrocolloid Wound Dressing Energy Disrupting Human Tissue Metabolism” (Embí (2022)). The persistent observed optical magnification by the HCWD needed to be challenged therefore, a graduated gridline was placed and recorded on a plain slide, and through the sandwiched HCWP. Zero magnification from HCWP was seen in the HCWP challenge (Figure 5).

7. HARVESTING LIPID MOLECULES FROM A DETACHED LIZARD TAIL

Small reptiles (lizards) are known to store energy in the proximal portion of their tails [Boozalis et al. (2012)]. They also have the property inducing spontaneous detachment of the tail (Sanggaard et al. (2012)). Such a detachment occurred in a small lizard in my backyard, the sample was collected, and the detached wider area was cut in small segments via a sharp razor blade. The samples were placed on a glass slide and covered by drops of liquid Potassium Ferricyanide (K3Fe) diluted in water. As the K3Fe evaporated, the crystallization backwards suction (Embí (2020)) eventually reached the drifting lipid droplets. The actual drifting was recorded and a typical image of K3Fe crystal can be viewed in the figures below (Figure 6, Figure 7)

8. EFFECT OF DUODERM PASTE THROUGH A 1 MM GLASS BARRIER

Since it could be argued that the Potassium Ferricyanide undergoing crystallization could have interacted with the lipid molecules, thus causing the deformed membranes seen above (Figure 6, Figure 7 above), a different approach was idealized whereby human skin lipid droplets were directly transferred onto a glass slide surface. This was done by pressing the slide directly on skin tissue; the author’s forehead and facial cheeks were selected. Upon viewing the slide, numerous lipid droplets were present. The fresh harvested human lipids were exposed to the indirect (through a 1 mm barrier) presence of “Duoderm” hydrocolloid paste. Please refer to (Figure 2) confirming the effect of the HCWP alone energy penetrating a 1 mm glass barrier.

 

9. CONCLUSION

In this manuscript documentation showing the electromagnetic energy emitted by a wound care paste HCWP (Hydrocolloid Wound Paste) is re-introduced, this time testing forehead human lipid molecules adhered onto a glass slide. In a previous paper (Embí (2022)) energy emitted from a HCWS (Hydrocolloid Wound Strip) was initially introduced altering Potassium Ferricyanide crystals as well the hair follicle (a.k.a. miniorgan) metabolism. In both instances (Strip and Paste) a similar effect on Potassium Ferricyanide crystal was documented. Except, that this time lipid droplets size increased, and membranes altered to the point of spilling contents into the surrounding space are introduced.

The questions arise:

1)     What if any is/are the effect(s) on human tissue from the electromagnetic energy emitted by a wound dressing?

Unknown at present.

2)     Does the benefit of a faster wound healing outweigh any possible long-term harm to healthy tissue?

Unknown at present.

3)     What would the effect be on cancerous or normal cells?

 

Needs further research. Endogenous low level electromagnetic radiation emissions were hypothesized in 2016 in cancer genesis (Embi (2016), Embi (2019), Embí and Haltiwanger (2019), Embi (2019). and lipid molecules size and membrane changes are now presented in this manuscript. Bringing additional

questions: What if any impact has the newly introduced electromagnetic energy emitted by the hydrocolloid wound be on normal and cancer cells?

We must investigate further!!
