Research Studies, Publications & Manuscripts in Preparation 

This page brings together completed and ongoing human-centred research studies examining how environmental exposures influence biological systems. The work spans cumulative environmental toxic load, detoxification responses, electromagnetic exposure, and frequency-based influences, using observational study design, microscopy, and pattern-based analysis to document biological change over time.


Where available, links to published scientific papers and peer-reviewed publications are provided alongside the relevant studies. Some completed studies are currently in the manuscript preparation or peer-review process and, therefore, do not yet have associated published papers. As manuscripts progress through peer review and publication, links will be added to this page.


Human Research Programme

These studies form Caroline’s principal programme of human-centred research investigating environmental exposures, detoxification pathways, and bioelectromagnetic influences. Together, they examine measurable biological responses using a range of observational techniques, laboratory investigations, and instrument-based assessments.

Bioelectromagnetic & Signal-Based Studies

Observational studies exploring signal activity detected in proximity to the human body using radio-frequency and Bluetooth-related measurement approaches.


MAC Address Study


A field-based observational study, independently filmed, documenting Bluetooth-associated signal detections in proximity to the human body, with signal attenuation and elimination observed within an 80-day intervention period.


The MAC Address Study represented an early observational phase of this research programme and helped inform the development of the subsequent Human Signal Study. As the investigation progressed, the research methodology expanded beyond MAC-address detection to incorporate more sophisticated instrumentation capable of measuring and characterising a broader range of signal activity detected in proximity to the human body.


For this reason, the decision was made to progress the research into the more comprehensive Human Signal Study rather than prepare a separate scientific manuscript based solely on the earlier MAC-address observations.

Commissioned & Observational Research

In addition to published scientific research, Caroline has conducted and coordinated a broad range of commissioned observational studies for companies developing health-related products, technologies, and natural formulations.


These investigations have included live blood microscopy, dry blood microscopy, water crystallography, frequency-based technologies, bio-photonic devices, oxygen- and hydrogen-enriched water, natural health formulations, ionic foot bath systems, and other supportive health interventions.


The studies have explored a wide range of observable biological and structural responses, including changes in red blood cell morphology, zeta potential, cellular aggregation and rouleaux formation, microcirculatory flow, blood coherence, oxidative stress-related features, water crystallisation patterns, molecular organisation, and structural coherence. Together, these investigations have provided qualitative evidence to complement laboratory findings and other investigative methods where appropriate.


Many of these studies are qualitative in nature and are intended to illustrate observable biological patterns and physiological responses rather than provide quantitative clinical endpoints. They are designed to complement laboratory findings and other investigative methods by documenting observable changes using microscopy and related observational techniques.


Detailed summaries of these observational studies, together with selected images, reports, and supporting documentation, will be added to this section over time as the website continues to be expanded. The underlying research has been completed, and this material will be presented to provide greater insight into investigational methods, observational findings, and supportive material associated with each study.

Independent Product Evaluation

Alongside human research studies and commissioned observational investigations, Caroline undertakes independent evaluations of health products, technologies, and natural formulations to assess whether proposed mechanisms of action are supported by observable biological responses and measurable evidence.


These evaluations draw upon a combination of structured study design, microscopy-based observation, third-party laboratory testing, and outcome-focused measurement, where appropriate. Each assessment considers product composition, proposed mechanisms of action, biological plausibility, and documented physiological outcomes, while recognising the scope and limitations of the investigative methods employed.


The aim is to help bridge the gap between commercial claims and scientific evidence by providing transparent, objective, and carefully documented assessments. Through methodological rigour, critical evaluation, and evidence-informed investigation, this work seeks to support greater scientific integrity, informed decision-making, and higher evidentiary standards within the health and nutrition field.


Study Design

Personalised Framework Development

Research in this area employs bespoke study frameworks developed in response to clearly defined biological questions, the characteristics of the product or technology under investigation, and the specific objectives of each study.


Frameworks are constructed to ensure methodological relevance, biological plausibility, and appropriate outcome selection. Design decisions are informed by extensive clinical and investigative experience, with careful consideration given to the selection of diagnostic, observational, and analytical tools, as well as to the physiological context in which findings are interpreted.


Study Design and Methodology


Where appropriate, research frameworks may incorporate third-party diagnostic laboratory testing, complemented by microscopy-based observational methods, including live blood analysis when indicated. These components are integrated within structured study designs involving defined participant cohorts.


Outcome measures are selected according to the proposed mechanism of action under investigation. For example, studies examining inflammatory or congestive processes may utilise established biochemical markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), alongside microscopy-based observation of blood morphology and microcirculatory characteristics. This layered approach enables both quantitative measurement and qualitative observational assessment of physiological change.


Cellular-Level Investigation


Across multiple collaborative research projects, these frameworks have been applied to investigate biological effects at the cellular and microcirculatory level. Areas of investigation have included circulatory dynamics, detoxification processes, biofield-related technologies, and frequency-based interventions.


Microscopy and crystallography are used as observational tools to document changes in cellular behaviour, structural organisation, and coherence, providing visual and biological context alongside measured outcomes.


Pilot Studies and Phased Progression


Initial investigations are frequently conducted as pilot studies, allowing study protocols, outcome measures, and logistical considerations to be evaluated prior to any expansion in sample size. Pilot phases support methodological refinement and inform the feasibility and design of subsequent larger-scale investigations.


In certain cases, and in accordance with established research practice, study coordinators may participate as test subjects during pilot phases for the purpose of assessing protocol implementation and procedural integrity. Where this occurs, participation is undertaken with full disclosure, appropriate consent, and, where required, anonymisation or pseudonymisation to preserve objectivity.


Ethical and Regulatory Considerations


All research activity is conducted in accordance with UK ethical research principles, relevant MHRA guidance, and applicable industry standards. Emphasis is placed on transparency, participant welfare, data integrity, and accurate representation of findings.


The overarching aim of this work is to generate robust, reproducible, and ethically sound data that contributes meaningfully to the evidence base surrounding environmental exposure, biological response, and product efficacy within modern human health research.

Access to International Diagnostic Laboratories


Research activity in this area is supported through collaboration with a network of internationally recognised diagnostic laboratories, providing access to a broad range of validated analytical tests across biochemical, toxicological, and physiological domains.


These laboratory resources enable the objective assessment of biological change, allowing research questions to be examined using quantitative, third-party data alongside microscopy-based and observational methodologies.


Laboratory-Supported Investigation


A central focus of this research is the evaluation of whether an intervention demonstrates its proposed biological function and produces measurable physiological effects.


Third-party diagnostic laboratory testing is used to generate quantitative, reproducible data across relevant biological markers, supporting objective outcome assessment. Where appropriate, these findings are complemented by microscopy-based observation, including darkfield live blood analysis, to provide visual and morphological context to laboratory results.


This integrated approach supports a more comprehensive understanding of biological response by combining quantitative measurement and cellular-level observation.


Data Integrity and Outcome Documentation


Laboratory-generated results are analysed and documented using standard reporting formats, including graphical representation of pre- and post-intervention findings. This supports clarity, transparency, and accurate interpretation of outcomes within research and publication contexts.


All data are presented for investigational and educational purposes, with emphasis on biological relevance, methodological context, and appropriate interpretation rather than promotional framing.


Diagnostic Domains Commonly Examined


Depending on the research question and study design, laboratory assessment may include evaluation of:


  • Systemic toxic burden (e.g. heavy metals, plastics, environmental chemicals)
  • Nutritional and micronutrient status
  • Standard haematological and inflammatory markers
  • Hormonal profiles
  • Neurotransmitter-related markers


Selection of laboratory testing panels is determined by the biological mechanisms under investigation and the objectives of the defined study framework.



Live Blood Analysis


Live blood analysis is used within research and investigative contexts as a qualitative observational method to document cellular behaviour and blood morphology under defined conditions.


In selected studies, live blood microscopy has been used to visually document changes in red blood cell organisation, plasma characteristics, and cellular interaction before and after intervention, providing contextual illustration alongside laboratory and other outcome measures.


Observed features may include, but are not limited to:


  • Red blood cell spacing and flow characteristics
  • Cellular aggregation and dispersion patterns
  • Platelet activity and fibrin presence
  • Red blood cell morphology and membrane integrity
  • Features associated with oxidative or inflammatory stress


These observations are not diagnostic and are not used in isolation to determine efficacy. Rather, they provide visual context to support broader investigative frameworks and longitudinal pattern observation.


Illustrative Example


The example images shown here present before-and-after live blood microscopy observations from a research study examining physiological response following a defined intervention. These images are provided for illustrative purposes only, demonstrating how cellular organisation and blood morphology may appear to change under specific conditions.


Interpretation of such images is limited to qualitative observation and is considered alongside third-party laboratory data, study design parameters, and other documented outcomes.


For a detailed explanation of live blood microscopy as an observational method, including scope and limitations, see the dedicated Microscopy-Based Observation page.




Image description


The micrograph on the left shows an example of red blood cell aggregation (rouleaux formation) observed following a defined period of tablet device exposure within a research setting. In this configuration, red blood cells appear stacked and closely associated, a morphology that is commonly discussed in relation to altered flow characteristics and reduced cellular dispersion.


The micrograph on the right shows a subsequent live blood observation from the same individual following an equivalent exposure period under modified experimental conditions. In this image, red blood cells appear more evenly dispersed with increased separation and freer movement across the field of view.


These images are presented as illustrative examples of morphological change observed under specific conditions. They are not diagnostic and should be interpreted within the broader context of study design, observational methodology, and complementary data.


Product as Art

Microscopic Masterpieces

 

This body of work uses microscopy as a visual and observational tool, allowing products and natural substances to be viewed and documented at high magnification.


The intention of this work is not quantitative analysis or formal material characterisation, but rather the careful visual documentation of form, pattern, and organisation as they appear under the microscope. When viewed in this way, many natural formulations reveal striking structural detail that is not visible at the macroscopic level.


These images are presented as visual records, capturing the aesthetic and structural qualities of products such as organic skincare formulations and flower remedies. In this context, microscopy offers a unique perspective — one that highlights the beauty, symmetry, and complexity of natural materials without assigning diagnostic or performance-based interpretation.


Microscopic Masterpieces therefore sit at the intersection of scientific documentation and visual exploration, providing an honest and transparent representation of what can be seen when products are observed under magnification.

The micrograph on the left documents a flower essence combined with a natural, food-state multi-nutrient, revealing intricate and visually striking pattern formation when viewed under magnification. The organisation and symmetry of the image are aesthetically reminiscent of Gustav Klimt’s painting The Kiss. This comparison is offered purely as a visual reference, highlighting the artistic qualities that can emerge when natural formulations are observed microscopically, rather than implying functional or biological interpretation.

The micrograph on the left documents clustered nano-scale zeolite crystal structures as observed under high magnification. The visual arrangement bears a striking resemblance to astronomical imagery of globular star clusters captured by space-based telescopes, such as those seen in deep-space photography.


This visual parallel highlights the recurring appearance of clustered organisation and spatial patterning across vastly different scales, from microscopic mineral structures to macroscopic cosmic formations. The comparison is offered as an aesthetic and structural observation, illustrating how similar organisational motifs can emerge in both microcosmic and macrocosmic contexts, rather than implying functional equivalence.

The micrograph on the left documents a flower essence as observed under high magnification, renowned for its energy boosting properties. The resulting patterning bears a visual resemblance to images of Earth, viewed from space, particularly the illuminated distribution of land and light visible energy-grid in night-time satellite imagery.


This comparison is offered as an aesthetic and visual analogy, highlighting perceived similarities in pattern, contrast, and organisation, rather than implying energetic or biological function.

The micrograph on the left documents a flower essence as observed under high magnification, known for its soothing properties. The swirling patterning is visually reminiscent of The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, an image that evokes tranquility and contemplation - echoing similar movements, contrasts, and spatial flow. 


This comparison is offered as an aesthetic observation, highlighting visual qualities that evoke calm and contemplation, rather than implying physiological or functional effects.

Crystallography

Words Born in Ice

Crystallography as visual pattern documentation


Crystallography is used within this work as a qualitative observational method to document pattern formation as water transitions from liquid to solid state.


As water freezes, it does not simply solidify; it forms intricate crystalline structures that reflect changes in organisation, symmetry, and coherence during the crystallisation process. These patterns - often referred to as hydroglyphs - are visually recorded as part of the observational record.


This approach focuses on documenting how water molecules organise during freezing, highlighting the unique properties of ice formation and the dynamic behaviour of water as it undergoes phase transition. When applied within research contexts, crystallography may be used to observe how the presence of a substance or intervention appears to influence pattern formation in water, providing visual insight into changes in organisation rather than quantitative measurement.


This work is inspired by and builds upon the pioneering water crystallography research of Veda Austin, with the approach further refined through ongoing practical observation and documentation across a range of natural substances and formulations.


The crystallographic images shown document pattern formation observed during the freezing of water in the presence of “Love in Essence,” a spray formulation composed of multiple shell essences.


The resulting crystalline structures display visual similarities to hydroglyph patterns previously documented within the water crystallography work of Veda Austin, including formations resembling the Fern Hexagon and Feather patterns. Within Veda Austin’s published hydroglyph framework, these patterns have been visually associated with themes such as gratitude and vibration.


The comparison presented here is observational and referential, highlighting aesthetic and structural correspondence between the crystallographic patterns observed and previously documented hydroglyph imagery. No symbolic, energetic, or functional interpretation is implied beyond visual resemblance and pattern recognition

The crystallographic images shown document pattern formation observed during the freezing of water in the presence of MasterPeace, a formulation containing Zeolite-Z and sea plasma minerals.


The resulting crystalline structures display visual similarities to hydroglyph forms documented within the water crystallography work of Veda Austin, including patterns resembling a heart shape, linear ladder-like forms, stepped or stair-like structures, and branching forms comparable to winter trees. Within Veda Austin’s published hydroglyph framework, these visual motifs, known as hydroglyphs, are associated with themes such as love, connection, information, and change.


The comparisons presented here are observational and referential, highlighting aesthetic and structural correspondence between the crystallographic patterns observed and previously documented hydroglyph imagery. No claims regarding biological function, detoxification, energetic action, or therapeutic effect are implied.
