The Center for Modeling Optimal Outcomes, LLC, a New Jersey based think tank focused on the application of neuroscience in business, inadvertently discovered a scientifically verifiable model for assessing homeostasis (balance) between substances in the body.
The Center's model for assessing homeostasis is grounded in the laws of physics and chemistry which dictate all matter is comprised of positive, negative and neutral electrical charges (known in physics as neutrons and in chemistry as transitional elements). Part of the model is supported by the fact that the body is comprised of matter and "powered" by a minute amount of electricity. In turn, like all matter in the universe, substances in the body are also positive, negative or neutral.
The Center has already announced the portion of its model pertaining to cellular absorption on November 18, 2009 in a press release relative to a possible cause of one form of autism. In order to provide evidence of the universal applicability of the model, the Life Sciences group of The Center applied it to existing scientific literature regarding breast cancer to determine if causal paths could be identified.
According to William McFaul, The Center's founder, "As a result of applying the model of homeostasis to existing breast cancer research studies, highly probable causal links surfaced. GRB-7 and HER-3 emerged as genes (proteins) that, when 'over-expressed' are capable of disrupting the homeostatic relationship (balance) between the genes (proteins) HER-1 and HER-2. Another possible disruption associated with another iteration of breast cancer is the one between the genes (proteins) BRCA-1 and BRCA-2. Although the source of the second disruption is a bit less clear in the scientific literature, the gene (protein) COBRA-1 appears to be a likely candidate." He added, "We have provided links to the studies regarding these substances on our web site in the tab - Breast Cancer News at www.TheCenterNJ.com."
Craig Angelini, The Center's biology advisor commented, "While the model for homeostasis and its associated concepts will transform most of the processes used in biological research, caution must be exercised not to make assumptions without thorough laboratory research using established protocols. The Center's findings will enable the research community to use a new lens to identify possible and highly probable causal paths and variables that can lead to illnesses and diseases. As a think tank, we have focused our efforts on developing models and tools that will enable the scientific community to find the answers."
McFaul added, "Since The Center's model for homeostasis is universal for all substances in the body, the Life Sciences group has also been able to identify several other highly probable variables that must occur simultaneously to create a 'perfect storm' of disruptions that can result in breast cancer. Likely candidates for such disruptions (imbalances) that were identified will be shared with the cancer research community. Not being in the domain of research, we fully understand our limitations and final determinations of causes of diseases must be left to the experts."
