Since other intramembrane proteins show non-linear properties, the plasma membrane is a likely target for scalar energy. Although neurotransmitter release also involves the plasma membrane, it is a much more complicated process which occurs several biochemical steps down the line from the first exposure of the membrane to the EM signal. The physiological function of carrier mediated neurotransmitter uptake is to remove excess neurotransmitter from the synaptic cleft after its release from presynaptic nerves. Thus, inhibiting uptake results in the accumulation of the neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft. This is the mechanism of action of tricyclic antidepressants, since they inhibit noradrenaline uptake.
Depression is associated with decreased noradrenaline levels.
This involved exposing confluent monolayer culture of PC12 cells to radiolabelled noradrenaline in the presence or absence of scalar energy. After a 30 minute exposure period, the cells were washed and centrifuged according to standard biochemical procedures and the amount of noradrenaline that was taken up into the cells was measured using a Beckman scintillation counter. The results were normalized why respect to the total intracellular protein concentration as determined by standard biochemical methods using a spectrophotometer. The Tesla watch obtained from ELF Cocoon, was used as a source of scalar energy. According to Dr. Puharich the scalar field emitted by the watch is around 8Hz.
