NES research reveals that the body-field is the master control system of the biochemical processes of the body. NES is not saying that biochemistry is wrong, but only that it does not provide a complete understanding of how the body works. The model of the human body-field that Fraser constructed integrates biochemistry with the quantum processes that underlie biochemistry, and it reveals the energetic "structure" of quantum processes in space. Biochemistry is dependent on structure as well, as in the three-dimensional folding of proteins. But the NES model of the body-field goes deeper, as explained below.

At the fundamental level (quantum chemistry), chemical reactions are about the making and breaking of chemical bonds. Bonding and hence chemical reactions depend on how electrons order themselves in atoms and molecules. Quantum chemistry defines the rules of how nuclei and electrons spontaneously arrange themselves into structures in space. These structures may be perturbed by fields or given quanta of energy (e.g., from photons and electrons) that cause them to reorder themselves (in other words, causing a chemical reaction).

The body-field is autocephalic (able to direct itself) because it follows inherent rules that belong to the structures not only of the body, but also according to some of the fundamental rules of quantum physics itself. At the quantum level, molecules can be thought of as structures in space, which when aligned in certain ways are able to interact with other structures (and as a result precipitate chemical reactions). The body-field, due to its structure, is responsible for directing the electronic structure of molecules within the body, so they not only control information transfer but influence all chemical reactions as well. Hence the body-field can be considered the master control system for all metabolism and growth.

This model has previously been partially proposed by other scientists, including Matti Pitkanen and Freeman Cope. Cope produced pivotal work linking physics and biology, and developed a solid-state theory of biological processes. He deduced that the activity in the cell is not just electrochemical, and he looked at the cell function as if the organelles were three-dimensional semiconductors. He thought that all the structures within the cell could be considered to be in a field in which there is a constant interaction between all subatomic particles, not just between the charges on electrons. His overall view was that superconductive pathways play a controlling role in biological functions. NES work has moved on from here as we have actually been able to map out the structure of the body-field and which parts of it control which bodily systems.

The human body-field is a dynamic web of interrelations among all the physiological processes that the body must perform, as well as between these processes and the emotions and consciousness. Moreover, the body-field is in constant interaction with the environment, influenced by and responding to geopathic stress, magnetic fields, toxins, stress, and the like. Fraser has found that the loss of homeostasis that is, the breakdown of the body's ability for self-correction?is an intricate interplay of almost infinite parameters. What allowed Fraser to uncover the structure of the body-field and to "match" function with information flow was the realization that, despite what geneticists and biochemists might think, the body does not have one "correct" state of being, although there is an optimal preference. While there are some functions of the body that must be maintained within extremely precise parameters, most have flexibility built into them. If they did not, Homo sapiens may have gone the way of the dinosaurs. NES has begun to unravel this web of relationships and to understand the "optimal" preferences for the flow of information, but makes no claims that its theory is complete. Fraser and Massey have only begun to crack the code of the human body-field, and they remain humbled by its intricacy and intelligence. Below are the highlights of some of their research to date, although their theory in its entirety is much more complex.

According to NES research, the human body-field is comprised of many subfields that are in constant interaction and that combined make up the overall body-field. The body-field is both external and internal to the physical body, and each is interdependent with the other. That is, the physical body needs the body-field to function correctly, but the body-field arises out of field interactions taking place within the physical body and so is dependent upon it. As Fraser built up a more and more detailed model of the body-field, he found that it has an organized structure. Although he stresses that the sets of magnetic vectors that correspond to the different parts of the body-field do not represent frequencies, the different ?compartments? of the body-field can be related to energy of different wavelengths. He has found that the body-field is structured into 12 compartments, or quantized levels he calls Energetic Integrators, each representing a band of energy wavelengths and magnetic vectors in the QED field.

These compartments are folded (in a similar way to Bohm's folded implicate order) and that is why skill is required in the reading of the body-field. This is one of the major reasons why the earlier methods of investigating the body-field, such as by using electrodermal screening devices, were not always reliable. In a folded system, the structure of the body-field must be comprehensively understood, so that the information can be sequenced in the correct order. If this order is misunderstood, then the results of any assessment of the body-field can be badly skewed. (As an aside, any computational device or system also needs to be programmed with a template or ?map? of the optimal body-field before it can begin to detect any deviations in the client's field.)

There are two major aspects to the body-field: the Energetic Drivers and the Energetic Integrators, which are described below. There are also other aspects of structure, including Energetic Terrains, cavities, and more.

The work of Peter Fraser has shown that the HBF divides into four main components:

The Human Body-Field (HBF) and Biochemical pathways

Biophysics shows that information transfer is required between atoms, or more accurately electrons, before chemicals can react. There is in fact a mass of information transfer happening between all the chemicals of the body as they go about their daily business. Biophysics suggests that a master information field -- the human body-field (HBF) -- directs this information transfer and thus coordinates the chemical activity. In short, the HBF contains the information about the biochemical pathways and passes it on to the atoms.

If the HBF structure becomes distorted, the distortions adversely affect the chemical processes by directing information transfer between atoms in an incorrect way.
