Charles Richet and their contribution to the metapsychics

Any activity becomes creative when the place is concerned to do well, or better. John Updike.

Students of parapsychological science, can never ignore the role, accounting for his time Charles Richet and his great contributions to the metapsychics, in their experiments and research paranormal. It was a great researcher who gave us lots of information, views on paranormal phenomena.

historiadelamedicina.org not remember who was born in Paris as about the August 25, 1850, according to others the 26th. His father was Alfred Richet, Professor of Clinical Surgery, Faculty of Medicine. and his mother was Renouard Eugenie, daughter of Charles Augustine, Senator. He studied medicine in Paris. Nor is there agreement on the dates of graduation and obtaining doctorates in medicine and science. One of the dates that best deck for the title of doctor of medicine is the science of the 1869 and 1878. However, almost certainly got the medicine in 1877 with a thesis Recherches sur la expérimentales et cliniques sensibilité, and a year later with the thesis science Du chez l'homme gastrique suc chez les animaux et. Etienne Jules Marey worked at the College de France and was a disciple, likewise, of Edme Félix Alfred Vulpian and Pierre Eugène Marcelin Berthelot. Between 1873 and 1876 was internal. In 1878 obtained the attache in anatomical sciences and natural physical aggregation thesis entitled Structure des circunvolutions brain. Anatomie et Physiologie. In 1878 he lectured at the College de France spobre physiological chemistry.

In 1880 he was assistant lecturer of physiology. During 1881-82 he was assistant professor J.A. Beclard of physiology.

In 1877 he married Amélie Aubry. They had five children, Georges, Jacques, Charles (also a professor at the Paris Faculty of Medicine), Albert and Alfred, and two daughters, Louise and Adelaide.

Just about it, verbatim Wikipedia reminds us that for 24 years, from 1878 to 1902, was editor of the journal and from 1917, co-editor of journal of physiology and general pathology. Published articles on physiology, chemistry, experimental pathology.

Physiology is known to work on mechanisms of thermoregulation in warm-blooded animals. Prior to his research (1885 -1895) on polypnea and trembling because of temperatures, little was known about the methods by which animals deprived of their skin perspiration can be protected from excess heat and how heat could cooled animals themselves.

In experimental therapeutics, Richet showed that the blood of vaccinated animals against infection, protects against it. (November 1888). Applying these principles to tuberculosis, made the first shot seroterapéutica in man, the December 6, 1890.

He invented the term anaphylaxis to describe the sensitivity developed by an agency after receiving a parenteral injection of a colloid, protein substance or toxin (1902) and can thus say that the parenteral injection of protein substances profoundly and permanently changed the chemical composition of fluids the body.

Anaphylaxis applications in medicine are extremely numerous. Later showed the phenomena of anaphylaxis passive anaphylaxis in vitro. most of the work of Charles Richet physiology, published in various scientific journals were collected and published in travaux du laboratoire of the Faculté de medecine de Paris (Alcan, Paris, 6 vols. 1890 -1911).

Professor of Physiology and professor at the Sorbonne, member of the Institute of France, president of the society of biology, December 11, 1913 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for his work on anaphylaxis.

Richet was also one of the most representative pioneers of research called in his time "metapsychics", later replaced by the term coined by Max Dessoir: parapsychology. Richet published his findings in his voluminous metapsychics treaty. Forty years of psychic work, and in the future and the premonition, both translated into Spanish by ed. Araluce: in 1923 the first, with laudatory foreword by Jaime Catalan Ferran immunologist, and in 1932 the second.

historiadelamedicina.org also says that his scientific work revolve around multiple fields. The key, of course, is that of physiology. Address aspects such as composition of gastric juice, the diuretic action of milk and sugar, patterns of muscle contraction and regulation of animal heat. Among his studies is expérimentales et Recherches sur la sensibilité cliniques, published in 1877. He later appeared physiologiques Propriété du sac Chimiques et chez l'homme et gastrique chez les animaux (1878), Physiologie des muscles des nerfs et (1883), The chaleur animale (1889) and La nouvelle zomothérapie (1924).

He also published works of synthesis as the Cours de Physiologie in 1890, the Traité de Physiologie medical chirurgicale (1921) and Physiologie de l'homme (1930). Between 1898 and 1920 were published seven volumes containing the work being conducted in his laboratory. We also investigated therapeutic topics. Showed that the blood of vaccinated animals against infection protects against infection (1888). Applying this principle to tuberculosis, administered the first injection of serum in man the December 6, 1890. In 1900, found that a diet based on raw milk and meat from affected dogs could cure tuberculosis. In 1901 noted that decreasing the sodium chloride of food, potassium bromide was administered to treat epilepsy was just as effective if the dose was decreased to 10 gr. to 2 gr.

Guavip.es.tl also reminds us. in 1905 Charles Richet, Nobel laureate in medicine, proposed the use of metapsychics (from Greek meta-beyond-mind and psyche or soul) instead of psychic research. In recent years the term parapsychology, which means the side of psychology, has replaced that of metapsychics definitely, especially since 1953 year his definitive consecration took place at the International Congress of Utrecht. Within the current imánenle parapsychology could be defined as the science through a scientific method, a series of events where the mind of a subject is able to interact with the environment without mediating any physical force, mechanical or electrical.

Take into account that in 1919, is based in Paris "Institut Métapsychique International" (IMI), by Dr Charles Richet and Dr. Gustave Geley, Faculty of Medicine of Lyon. Recognized by the French government scientific agency of public utility, IMI made very advanced studies on the mediumship of physical effects. Edit the famous "Métapsychique Revue."

In definitivaCharles Robert Richet, brought to life as we said foro.galeon.com metapsychics an alleged science that studies all the phenomena that are not normal explanation. It is said that the phenomena studied metapsychics in antiquity considered wills produced by supernatural, but as these wills were deified human, or at least priestly nature. Metapsychics studies the physical phenomena ranging from the telekinetic paracinética, the ectoplasm, transfers, levitations, voices and writings directed, houses inhabited by spirits (Enchanted) and mental phenomena ranging from telepathy to clairvoyance, correspondence, xenoglasia , predictions, etc. ..

Finally, the metapsychics (Greek goal beyond, mind and psyche) is the study of those phenomena that exceed the limits of consciousness, and which has not yet given a satisfactory explanation.

Specifically: "The metapsychics is the way research is to study the physical or psychological phenomena produced by forces that seem intelligent or powers of the mind of an individual." (Senderosparanormal.blogspot.com)
