Pleomorphism refers to the belief that microorganisms can take on multiple forms during a single growth cycle. It was originally proposed by a French scientist and contemporary of Louis Pasteur named Antoine Bechamp. He observed tiny particles, which he called microzymas (little fermenters), which apparently later transformed into living bacteria. This view was refuted by Pasteur’s classic experiments that argued against the spontaneous generation of life forms. Later proponents of pleomorphism included Royal Raymond Rife, Virginia Livingston, and Gaston Naessens. Rife argued that viruses associated with cancer (BX and BY) could turn into E. coli bacteria and assume forms resembling filamentous fungi. Livingston also observed what she claimed were cancer-causing microbes in virtually all types of cancer. Naessens in France and later in Canada reported mobile elements of different forms in the blood that she concluded were the originators of life. She called these little objects somatids. She identified up to 13 different morphological transformations that somatids could undergo, especially when they were derived from the blood of sick patients. The German zoologist and bacteriologist Guenther Enderlein observed similar transformations between particles that he called protits. He suggests that the various transformations, including the formation of conventional forms of bacteria and fungi, were brought about by unhealthy diets (such as being high in animal fat). Darkfield microscopy has provided a convenient method of observing these so-called “living pleomorphic life forms”.
A major weakness of the pleomorphism theory is the lack of substantial data regarding the nucleic acid component of the putative organism. The main criterion for declaring objects to be alive is their directed motion as seen under the microscope. I have seen alternative electronically active cellular energy pigments (ACE pigments) undergo directed movement and can readily appreciate how they could be mistaken for bacteria. Additionally, ACE pigments can rapidly change from solid to stringy forms. It is therefore likely that Beauchamp, Naessens, Enderlein and others were mistaking ACE pigments for bacteria. This explanation is also consistent with the apparent association of such particles with disease states. ACE pigments are known to form both in vivo and in vitro in response to stealth virus infections. Cell-free ACE pigments can display both reducing and oxidizing activities. Oxidation can trigger the coagulation process leading to impaired blood circulation and presumably lymphatic circulation as well. Therefore, methods are being devised to help reduce the levels of potentially coagulating cell-free ACE pigments and to replenish the individual with an acceptable substitute.
Monomorphism is the opposite of polymorphism. Strictly speaking, it assumes that each type of bacteria has a single morphology. It does not allow various cell wall deficient forms of certain types of bacteria. It also ignores the known ability of some bacteria, such as anthrax, to condense into a spore. Tiny bacteria, so-called nanobacteria, can also exist, as well as very large bacteria that may even be visible to the unaided human eye. For the vast majority of bacteria, the assumption is that they exist as a single morphological type and divide by binary division to produce two similar, if slightly smaller, daughter cells.
Studies on stealth virus cultures showed the presence of genetic sequences derived from viruses and bacteria. It seemed that the stealth-adapted virus had managed to incorporate certain bacterial genes, probably by passing through bacteria. The term viteria was introduced to describe what were essentially still viruses but with bacteria-derived genes added. It was also observed that even in cell-free cultures of occult virus, continuous production of lipids and other particles could occur for many months. It seemed as if extracellular enzymes were present that were possibly being fed by ACE pigments. This notion is consistent with evidence that ACE pigments can transduce (convert) physical energy (in the form of electromagnetic energy, magnetism, or even sound) into chemical energy. One name given to these presumed ACE pigment energy-driven enzymes was Zymoids. They are also possibly related to what have been called pleomorphic life forms.
