	Freeman Widener Cope		'''Freeman Widener Cope''' (1930–1982) was an American biophysicist, physician, and mathematician known for his application of solid-state physics to biology and for his pioneering use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in the study of living cells. He championed [[Gilbert Ling\|Gilbert Ling's]] association-induction hypothesis and its view of structured cellular water and cation association, and he is frequently credited as an early mentor to Raymond Damadian in the development of magnetic resonance imaging.

	Cope was the author of an article called, [http://gerson-research.org/docs/CopeFW-1978-1/index.html <cite>A Medical Application of the Ling Association-Induction Hypothesis: The High Potassium, Low Sodium Diet of the Gerson Cancer Therapy</cite>]. It was written in 1978 and published in the journal, <cite>Physiological Chemistry and Physics</cite> (Vol.10 No.5) which has an editorial college of scientists which peer reviews all articles submitted for publication...		==Biography==

	~~My teacher~~, ~~Freeman Cope~~, ~~taught Raymond Damadian how~~ to ~~use magnetic resonance instruments~~ in the ~~laboratory~~. ~~Together Cope and Damadian were the first researchers to get~~ a ~~potassium signal from a live bacteria culture. It was~~ Raymond Damadian ~~who went on, away from pure research, into practical research~~ and ~~development~~. ~~He created the world's first magnetic imager~~. ~~He has been awarded a Presidential Medal of Honor for science and discovery and is well known throughout the world now~~.		Cope was chief of the Biochemistry Laboratory of the U.S. Naval Air Development Center in Warminster, Pennsylvania. Trained as a physician, physicist, and mathematician, he applied the methods of solid-state physics to problems in biology and biochemistry rather than the approaches of conventional wet chemistry. He died in 1982; a memoriam by Raymond Damadian appeared in the journal <cite>Physiological Chemistry and Physics</cite> (Vol. 14, No. 5, 1982).

	Without Freeman Widener Cope, who was my teacher, Damadian would never have learned how to use magnetic resonance equipment and would never have tried to measure potassium in the Dead Sea bacterium which he brought to their mutual studies. There would be no magnetic resonance imaging in the world at this time, had it not been for Freeman Widener Cope. Let me quote Dr. Damadian.		==Scientific contributions==

	~~<blockquote> Had I never met~~ Cope and ~~been introduced to~~ the NMR ~~at his urging~~, ~~I would never have had~~ the NMR ~~scanning idea~~. ~~I comment~~ on ~~this to stress the imprint of~~ the ~~life~~ of ~~my dear friend on humanity~~ and ~~on science lest the enormity of his contributions pass unnoticed~~.		Cope's research emphasized the application of solid-state physics to biology and biochemistry and the use of NMR of deuterium, sodium-23, and potassium-39 in the analysis of water structuring and cation association within cells. His 1969 paper reported NMR evidence, obtained using D<sub>2</sub>O, for structured water in muscle and brain. Working within [[Gilbert Ling\|Gilbert Ling's]] association-induction framework, he argued that living cells do not depend on membrane pumps but on the physical ordering of water and ions by cellular proteins.

	~~</blockquote> Also without Freeman~~ Cope to ~~educate me~~ to ~~help the Gerson Institute~~ to ~~communicate~~ the ~~nuts and bolts of current scientific implications of Gerson~~'s ~~clinical observations~~, and ~~subsequently our own observations~~, ~~we probably~~ would have ~~never gotten~~ the ~~interest~~ of the ~~British team which recently published in~~ the ~~<cite>Lancet~~</~~cite~~>, ~~September 15~~, ~~1990, which is a top journal~~ in ~~the world, an article called, [http://gerson-research.org/docs/ReedA-1990-1/index.html~~ <cite>~~Juices, Coffee Enemas,~~ and ~~Cancer~~</cite>~~] about this little hospital~~. - [http://gerson-research.org/docs/HildenbrandGLG-1990-5/index.html http://gerson-research.org/docs/HildenbrandGLG-1990-5/index.html]		Cope taught Raymond Damadian how to use magnetic resonance instruments in the laboratory. Together, Cope and Damadian were among the first researchers to obtain a potassium signal from a live bacteria culture. Damadian later credited this collaboration as decisive to his own development of the world's first magnetic resonance imaging scanner, for which Damadian was subsequently honored. In his memoriam for Cope, Damadian wrote:

			<blockquote>Had I never met Cope and been introduced to the NMR at his urging, I would never have had the NMR scanning idea. I comment on this to stress the imprint of the life of my dear friend on humanity and on science lest the enormity of his contributions pass unnoticed.</blockquote>

			Cope also authored "A Medical Application of the Ling Association-Induction Hypothesis: The High Potassium, Low Sodium Diet of the Gerson Cancer Therapy," written in 1978 and published in <cite>Physiological Chemistry and Physics</cite> (Vol. 10, No. 5). The paper interpreted the high-potassium, low-sodium regimen of the Gerson cancer therapy in terms of Ling's hypothesis, suggesting that such an environment could partially restore damaged cellular proteins toward their normal configuration. This work was later cited in support of the therapy by the Gerson Institute. An account of that connection is given by Gar Hildenbrand: [http://gerson-research.org/docs/HildenbrandGLG-1990-5/index.html http://gerson-research.org/docs/HildenbrandGLG-1990-5/index.html]

			In more speculative theoretical work, Cope proposed a "gas of tachyon magnetoelectric dipoles" hypothesis, published across several papers in <cite>Physiological Chemistry and Physics</cite>, in which he attempted to account for a range of phenomena in terms of hypothetical faster-than-light particles. Such proposals fall outside mainstream scientific consensus.

Freeman Widener Cope

Cope was the author of an article called, [http://gerson-research.org/docs/CopeFW-1978-1/index.html <cite>A Medical Application of the Ling Association-Induction Hypothesis: The High Potassium, Low Sodium Diet of the Gerson Cancer Therapy</cite>].

Together Cope and Damadian were the first researchers to get a potassium signal from a live bacteria culture.
