The living organisms exposed to gamma-irradiation at low doses were found to emit secondary radiation of very low intensity for several hours after ceasing gamma-irradiation. The secondary radiation could be detected because of its ability to stimulate development of a biological detector. It was called a secondary biogenic radiation (SBR).

SBR was firstly detected in plant tissues exposed to gamma-irradiation. Shortly thereafter, all the living organisms investigated (microorganisms, insects, animals' tissues) were shown to be capable of emitting SBR after exposure to gamma-irradiation at low doses. It became evident that we are dealing here with a previously unknown particular feature of all the biota, namely, the ability of the living systems to respond to low doses of atomic irradiation by a secondary biogenic radiation.

The main property of SBR is to supply the living organism with the information required to remove the cells from the resting state, to enter a cell cycle and as a result to stimulate cell division, accelerating growth and development. This has been proved experimentally when SBR was directed towards germinating seeds. Of a special interest were the experiments where SBR could reanimated old organisms already incapable for further development.

We have demonstrated that SBR could be percepted by various detectors, namely:

  1. By growth intensity of non-irradiated seeds;
  2. By reanimation of the old, non-germinating seeds;
  3. By inducing the old yeast cells which do not produce colonies on the nutrient medium, to come out from the dormant state;
  4. By awakening winter wood buds;
  5. By speeding up development of frogs' embryos.


The results of the experiments demonstrate that all the living systems investigated up to now emit SBR while exposed to gamma-irradiation at low doses. Those are:

1. Unicellulars:

  1. Leaven
2. Plants:
  1. plant seeds;
  2. wood buds;
  3. fresh-cut grass;
3. Animals:
  1. fresh-cut wool;
  2. fresh human blood;
  3. insect's body;
  4. native hen egg protein.
The diversity of biological objects investigated suggests that secondary radiation induced by gamma-irradiation is a general biological phenomenon common to all biota.

A.G. Gurwitsch has hypothesized that the cellular biofield, formed in the cell chromatin and spread out of the cell boundaries, interacts with the biofields of other cells creating thus a synthetic biofield of an entire organism. This idea agrees with our data on exciting the chromatin by a natural atomic irradiation and on the formation of polaritons which emit SBR and interact with the SBRs of other cell proteins..

SBR, spread out of the cell boundaries and being interacted with the SBRs of other cells, creates a biofield of an entire organism. Previously unknown SBRs are crucial for the normal functioning of any organism.
