Due to current research in physics, the idea that energy and consciousness drive creation is finally becoming well known and accepted. The "information field" in biology is one of these new/old concepts. The chemicals that make up human bodies cannot create a working human on their own; they need an organizer, the information field. Since matter is less than a billionth of the cosmos, it makes sense that energy is the organizer. Doctors tend to ignore this fact and concentrate only on the physical matter of bodies when dealing with health.
The word "information" literally means to give form to the material. It follows, then, that disease is a disruption or distortion of this information or energy. Healing would involve putting this energy back into harmony and order, as is the case with Energy or Vibrational Medicine. In the early 1900s, neurologist Albert Abrams discovered, quite by accident,that he could find diseases and tumors by listening to the sound made by patients' bodies as he tapped on them. He then created a machine called a Reflexophone that could more easily hear those sounds. He also discovered that the Reflexophone would give off a "healthy" sound if the cure for the disease was present.
Therefore, he reasoned that a machine could send the correct energy vibrations to a person and reverse the disease. Unfortunately, the medical establishment wasn't ready to hear this and he was roundly vilified. The few people who copied his machine and ran additional successful experiments were also disregarded.
The energy effect that Albert Abrams discovered is now called the cyclotron resonance effect. It is similar to singing the same note made by a wine glass that has been tapped and the glass then shatters, or having piano wires vibrate when a similar tone is present. This concept is used in MRIs and by energy healers.
Since our being is more energy than substance, true diagnosis and healing need to come from the energy realm, thus the term Virtual Medicine. Actually, equipment is now available that can detect pathogens in tissues, sense the beginnings of disease and determine whether an energy imbalance is physical or psychosomatic. This is the principle of bioresonance diagnosis and there are many devices for doing this.
The History of Energy Medicine
Hands-on healing is the earliest form of energy medicine recorded. Examples of this are seen in Egyptian stories, the Bible and shamanic practices in indigenous cultures. Some other notable examples are:
• The brilliant Middle Age physician Paracelsus hypothesized an energy field he called archea and spoke of removing negative energy to heal disease.
• Anton Mesmer (born 1734) was another healer far ahead of his time; he knew about hands-on healing, the energy field inside and surrounding us and the influence of the planets on humans.
• Professor Harold Saxton Burr of Yale University measured the voltage given off by trees (1920s). He found that the voltage varied by day and night, summer and winter, and with moon cycles. He and a colleague then measured voltages given off by humans and discovered that this changed due to emotions, illness, and other physical and environmental factors.
• Georges Lakhovsky, a Russian engineer, purported that every living thing emits radiation, the cells working as a type of radio transmitter and receiver (1925). Simplistically speaking, if a germ's radio waves overpower the body's radio waves, then an illness occurs. He eventually developed a Multiple Wave Oscillator that would provide harmonic resonance to a variety of cell vibrations and was successful in healing many cases of disease.
• Albert Nodon, a French scientist, extended Lakhovsky's research by measuring this radiation; he found that humans give off more intense energy than plants and animals. He also made energy imprints on photographic paper, predating Kirlian photography.
• Professor Robert Becker, a contemporary orthopedic surgeon, has been nominated twice for Nobel prizes for his research with salamanders. He discovered that body tissues act as semi-conductors and that electrical pollution is harmful to living tissues, thereby furthering the field of electro-biology. Becker formulated a classification for energy support based on its strength.
1. Minimal Energy Techniques: No actual physical energy transferred, such as with creative visualization or hypnosis.
2. Energy-reinforcement Techniques: Adding to and supporting the body's natural energies, such as in acupuncture and homeopathy.
3. High-energy Transfer Techniques: Supplying energy at higher-than-natural levels, such as in transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS), biomagnetics and electrotherapy. He thought these processes dangerous.
The SQUID (super-conducting quantum interference device) magnetometer developed by Brian Joesphson in the 1960s measures biological energy fields much more precisely than earlier equipment. The heart was one of the first measurements made, since each heartbeat is an electrical pulse that travels to neighboring tissues and through the blood. Since then, scientists have found additional ways to measure electromagnetic activity inside and outside the body.
Rupert Sheldrake has extended the idea of energy fields to the morphogenic field, the underlying structure of creation. This field organizes and informs the energy fields, but exists outside energy, time and space. One example of the morphogenic field is the"Hundredth Monkey effect"; when a critical mass of a species learns anew behavior, it changes the field or consciousness of all the members in that group. Brian Josephson believes that the universe is built upon the dualism of life force and quantum mechanics, similar to the particle-wave dualism in physics (electrons can be both particles and waves, depending on circumstances). This brings together both the details of organisms and their processes in explaining life activities.
Biology Beyond the Skin
These more precise measuring tools are allowing us to re-evaluate the ancient healing systems from China and India.Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is based on energy and information, not the physical matter of the body. This energy is seen as circular, flexible, and flowing. Acupuncture is one of TCM's methods to re-establish the healthy flow of energy in the body's meridians or energy channels. Ch'i is the underlying energy of the universe in TCM, which flows in and around bodies.
As described in The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine from 400 BCE, ch'i has the same characteristics as a quantum energy field: when it condenses, it has a visible shape and when it disperses,the shape is invisible. This leads to the conclusion that a disruption in energy will eventually lead to a physical,visible manifestation of it.
Western researchers have tried for decades to link the energy meridians to the nervous system, circulatory system or other physical systems, with no success. They did find that radio-isotopes injected at acupuncture points did travel the known meridians but isotopes injected in veins and lymph channels did not travel. This verified the existence of meridians but didn't explain what they were.
More recent research believes the meridians to be " liquid crystalline water-bound collagen fibers" which lie in the connective tissue between organs. These fibers are very sensitive to electrical,magnetic, chemical, and other environmental factors around them. The energy that runs through them only flows in one direction, just as described thousands of years ago. The collagen network and the intercellular fluid around it create a body consciousness separate from the brain and nervous system; this consciousness communicates rapidly with the body as a whole.
The Ayurvedic model from Indiapredates TCM by many centuries and is still actively practiced today. In Ayurveda, the underlying energy of the universe is called Brahman, while the energy in the body is called prana. Instead of meridians, this model describes chakras as the gates where energy enters and leaves the body. Minor chakras are also present at various joints, giving a total of 360 chakras in a body. These chakras are connected by a network of channels called nadis. So far, the existence of chakras has not been measured.
A related concept to these ancient energy systems is that of "spin".Virtual Medicine practitioners have found that healthy blood and saliva have a right-spin, while urine and feces have left-spin. When a person is stressed, the spin reverses and healing cannot take place until the spin is corrected. The aura is another metaphysical concept that has been studied. The most significant research involved a psychic who could see auras; she was asked to describe a person's aura during a healing session at the same time that electrodes recorded energy activity a teach chakra. The result was that the psychic's descriptions of aura changes perfectly coincided with the changes in energy recorded by the electrodes.
Kirlian photography also shows an energy field around living organisms, which may or may not correspond to the aura. The major flares that show up in human Kirlian photographs do correspondto acupuncture points. One of the surprising discoveries from this tool was that, if part of the organism is missing, the complete energy field is still present. Is this perhaps the morphogenic field?
The Birth of Electro-Acupuncture
Dr. Reinhold Voll cured himself of bladder cancer by using acupuncture and then proceeded to research ways to link this modality with electricity. He succeeded in creating a machine that measures the volts of energy at points on the skin; the patient holds one electrode and the practitioner uses another electrode to touch various points on the patient's skin. With this method, he verified the location of known acupuncture points and found additional points and channels as well.
Voll's machine, called EAV (electro-acupuncture according to Voll) can show whether too much or too little energy is present at an acupuncture point. A low reading signifies decay and degeneration while a high reading denotes inflammation. He also found a more important measurement, the Indicator Drop,where a reading starts out in a normal range and drops off. The more significant the drop, the more serious the problem in that area of the body. While the Voll system can provide some important information, he sometimes stretched his data to fit his ideas.
Remedy evaluation is another important use for EAV. Voll discovered, by accident, that when a possible remedy was introduced into the circuit between the patient and the machine, the reading would show whether the remedy would correct the energy imbalance. In contrast, harmful substances such as those which cause allergies can also be detected when the Indicator Drop shows a lower reading.
A more accurate machine than Voll's was invented by a Japanese clinical psychologist, Hiroshi Motoyama. It is called the AMI and has been found to accurately target energy deficiencies and excesses. Because of its usefulness, the Japanese government has adopted it for official medical screenings.
The Vega test
In the early 1970s, an improved method of detection was invented which eliminated the confusing quantities of information created by EAV. Developed by Helmut Schimmel, his Vega test used only one test point, usually on the hand, and a variety of homeopathic testing substances to check the energy in all the organ systems. He even added a tone to indicate a drop in energy, making it easier for practitioners to locate problem areas.
A major drawback is that this machine is extremely sensitive so it picks up interference easily, whether from electrical wires, practitioner energy or patient nervousness. This can distort or damage results unless accommodations are made. Another issue is that the expectations of the practitioner can interfere with an "objective" reading. As quantum physics has taught us, the observer influences the outcome.
The Vega test machine is frequently used to test for allergies. Dr. Robert Gardiner found that his own allergies were caused by the phenols in foods. By using phenolic substances,practitioners can test the patient for allergies quickly and cheaply without painful skin tests. Clearly defining allergies and treating them with Miller-method antidotes has allowed children to heal from conditions such as autism, dyslexia, and asthma, and adults from migraines, depression, arthritis, and other serious conditions.
One example of the value of EAV is illustrated in the case of a truck driver. He went to a doctor complaining of discomfort in the liver area. Medical testing didn't find any problem and the doctor thought he was neurotic. So the driver went for EAV testing where the practitioner found a liver weakness connected to mouldy peanuts. He asked the driver if peanuts were significant to him. The driver said he had recently hauled a load of peanuts to the border where he was told they were mouldy and wouldn't be accepted. This news upset him greatly because he had eaten some of them on the way! After receiving the antidote for mouldy peanuts, he was fine again.
Bio-Resonance Therapy
Bio-Resonance Therapy (BRT) is a broad category of electronic machines that change a person's out-of-sync energies into harmonious ones. This does not require a diagnosis or any external medications. Healthy bodies give off similar electromagnetic imprints so finding the deviant energies is easily accomplished.
The MORA machine (MO from Morell and RA from Rasche, the developers) is one machine designed to do that. The MORA strengthens the positive body signals which allow cells to fight off intruders and then cancels out the toxic signals. The BICOM, a German device shown in the picture above, is a more modern version of the MORA and more user-friendly.
In a typical session, the patient first receives a "basic therapy"treatment to help the body prepare for the next stage. The practitioner uses the patient's saliva, skin or hair samples to run this preparation. Then the practitioner tests individual meridians for Indicator Drops, followed by testing for the best treatment option: amplify, invert, or filter out the signal. Once that information has been processed, the treatment signal is run through the patient for several minutes.
The effects of this were tested in 1985 on a group of hamsters. All hamsters received exactly the same environment and food but half received bio-resonance treatment and half didn't.They were regularly checked for red cell count, weight and food hoarding. The hamsters who received bio-resonance ended up healthier than the control group. This experiment has been repeated with other animals, with the same positive results. The MORA process is quite successful with allergy patients and with transmuting heavy metal toxicity. Other useful areas include infertility, burns, eye problems, and children's ailments.Obviously, not having to touch the area or apply any substance is a great advantage. Addictions can also be effectively treated, in conjunction with supplements and cleansings.
A newer version of the MORA that resolves some of its challenges is now available. i
Some disadvantage of these machines is the number of items that can impede their effectiveness. Some of these include:
• Geopathic stress in the practitioner's office or patient's home
• Hidden parasites or allergies
• Patient's skepticism about the process
• Medication or drug ingestion
• Nutritional deficiencies
Of course, these blocking factors would block most other therapies, including medication, so the main premise of holistic medicine is to identify these potential causative factors and remove them.
The major advantages of this treatment include:
• The diagnosis comes from the body's skin energies (ANS)
• No outside substances/energies are needed, only the patient's energies
• This heals the body's energy for the long-term
Basic Treatment Modalities
Treatments based on energy and bio-information come in four types:
• Invasive: laser, surgery
• Biochemical: inorganic (minerals) or organic (vitamins, herbs, drugs)
• Energy: acupuncture, sound, music, colour, Reiki, electro-magnetic
• Information: homeopathy, Bach flowers, gems, bio-resonance
Homeopathy, one of the information-based treatments, is commonly used by EAV practitioners. This method used to be taught in medical schools and was widely practiced in the U.S. and Europe until the advent of allopathic drugs in the early 1900s.
The current view of illness is that it has to be battled and beat off, while it is actually a sign that the body is already doing battle. Homeopathic remedies give the body support to fight this battle and to use its pre-existing arsenal to win. The remedies actually contain very diluted amounts of the illness, which trigger the body to produce more of the substances needed to kill off the germs and to heal.
Water is a perfect carrier for this diluted information since it has an electrical charge to attract other molecules and is such a large component of the human body. The water actually carries the energy signature of the homeopathic substance, causing a resonance in the body which triggers healing. Homeopathic healing is tracked using Hering's Laws.
• Healing moves from the inside out, from internal symptoms to something visible on the outside of the body.
• Healing moves from top to bottom, from head to toe.
• Healing moves from the most important organ to the least important for a particular condition.
A related "law" is that disease retraces its steps, from the present symptoms back to the early ones. Homeopathic remedies are often used with drainage remedies or nosodes. These remedies help the body remove the disease toxins through the liver, the digestive system, the lymph glands and elsewhere. They are also administered using Arndt-Schulz's Law which states that small doses will give the most positive response. Large doses actually provoke a suppression response from the body. Homeopathic"vaccinations" are a good example of making the body aware of the germs and building up an immune response without reaction or damage.
A miasm, the imprint or shadow of a disease, is little understood and yet a powerful influence on health. A miasm may be inherited from generations before and can manifest in a variety of ways,depending on the health, habits, and environment of the individual. Simon Goodrich, a contemporary homeopathy practitioner, believes many historical miasms affect people, such as The Plague or tuberculosis.
Bach Flower Remedies are another version of energy medicine but from plant origins. Bach's original intention was to deal with the emotional and psychological obstacles that impede healing but currently these remedies are more generally used to treat emotions and attitudes. Using a Bach remedy along with the physical remedy often produces the best results since diseases often have a psychological component. Other brands of flower essences are also now available.
Jacques Benveniste is attempting to bring this idea into the modern age. He is currently experimenting with recording the energy characteristics of substances electronically and sending them by telephone cables over the Internet. So far, he and his team have been able to send energy but they aren't able to decode it at the other end.
Electro-Dermal Computer Screening
Virtual medicine sometimes uses the help of computers. With Electro-dermal Screening (EDS), the practitioner uses electrodes and touches acupuncture meridians on the patient, similar to EAV, but the information received goes into a computer program where it can be quickly analyzed and compared to a database of 25,000 diseases.
In this way, the top possibilities can be quickly provided and then tested by the practitioner. The computer can also show which remedies have the most resonance, but it still takes human thought to analyze the results and decide on treatment.
One of the main advantages of the computer in this system is the"tank". Information gained from screening and remedy testing can be held in a tank and brought back to be used later. Another advantage is that remedies of different strengths can be tested to see which brings the best healing result. Even more amazing, chakras, colors, moonlight and other more obscure items can be checked to see their effects on health.
The individualized remedy that comes from this process can either be a group of virtual remedies or one that contains the energies of all the required remedies. In addition to the physical and emotional remedies already mentioned, energetic remedies can be made that assist with clearing toxins,stimulating hormones and utilizing nutrients.
A long-standing question for the author has been why certain people have allergies in the first place. His guess was that allergies were the latest symptoms in a chain of causes; this has been verified. EDS has shown numerous times that childhood illnesses and vaccines are generally the cause of allergies.
It takes a major paradigm shift to look at healing from an energy field perspective and find the source causes. Cancer provides a clear example of the differences between virtual medicine and current allopathic medicine. With EDS, the likelihood of cancer can be predicted years before it actually shows up. Readings such as numerous high Indicator Drops, poor immune system, and chronic toxic overload point to this possibility.
Instead of viewing treatment as a battle, virtual medicine looks at cancer as the result of long-term imbalances and works to help the body clear out the toxins and recover its proper functioning. Of course, none of this will work if the patient doesn’t change the toxic habits or environment that caused the problems in the first place.
Light as Therapy
By thinking of light as an electro-magnetic wave form such as radio waves and X-rays, it is easier to consider it a healing tool. Light was used therapeutically in the form or sunlight or coloured light by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks. We need light as a nutrient, whether from sunlight coming through the skin or from nutrients coming from the plants we eat. In contrast, lack of light can have profound detrimental health effects; this mal-illumination can cause tooth decay, depression, cancer, hair loss and other conditions.
Ayurveda uses light in the form of gem elixirs, made by placing gemstones in a liquid placed in sunlight and then drinking it. Each gem was used for its different healing properties; for instance, sapphires may be used for skin problems and headaches while diamonds may be used for diabetes or epilepsy.Other commonly used gems include rubies, emeralds, carnelians, citrine and topaz.
While light therapy is most commonly sent to the eyes or Third Eye (middle of forehead), a new method combining light and "energized" gemstones goes directly to affected tissues. These rays can penetrate deep within the body and bring healing energy to the place it is most needed. It is now possible to energize gems via the computer to certain frequencies that are known to be especially relaxing and healing.
Bioluminetics is another version of light therapy. The mechanics of it were originally created for the management of air temperatures in open plan offices. However, employees noted that they felt better and their health issues disappeared so the effects were studied. This machine actually turned the light and electromagnetic energy in the room into a coherent pattern that supported health and well being. The inventor, Patrick Richards, went on to create a machine to assess health issues and test remedies; he called it VRIC (visual reference of image coherence). VRIC uses a light photo of the person for diagnosis and then tests for remedies that make the light image clearer and stronger. This test can also be done for relationships, showing that people really can drain our energy!
Another leading edge light therapy is the laser, a synthetically created light. Ken West is a sports performance scientist and effectively uses a laser gun on acupuncture points to deal with sports injuries. He also uses homeopathic remedies along with the laser to support detoxification and healing.
Gaia
The electro-magnetic influence of Earth has only recently been considered in relation to humans and health. Since the Earth's core is molten iron, its spin creates a magnetic field. This field is affected by the sun's magnetic activities, which would completely annihilate life if they weren't dissipated by the Van Allen belt surrounding Earth.
Living beings have adapted to life within a small range of radiation. Solar winds that send extra radiation our way can affect brain waves as well as computers and telephones. Life forms are also affected by geopathic stress, locations where the Earth's energy is distorted.
Electro-pollution is becoming a significant health factor in the past few decades. This magnetic radiation is produced by humans in the form of computer screens, cell phones, TVs, microwave ovens and dozens of other electrical gadgets that are part of modern life. Cell phone towers and wireless Internet services are extremely dangerous to health. Some protective devices have been developed to protect us from these energies, but the best practice is to stay away from it as much as possible.
Following are some simple steps to minimize your exposure to electro-pollution:
• Remove all possible electrical devices from your bedroom (alarm, radio) • Get rid of electric blankets, heated water beds, etc.
• Keep your cell phone as far away from your head as possible; get shields or safe alternative headphones for use with it
• Use a protective screen over the computer monitor and sit as far away as possible
• Avoid unnecessary X-rays as much as possible Ionizing radiation is a type of radioactivity that causes changes in molecules.It used to come only from granite and uranium but now humans have created dozens of sources. The problem is that radiation is cumulative in the body; it doesn't wear off or clear out.
Obviously, if it causes cell damage, it will affect health in many ways, although cancers and leukemia are most common. Governments and utility companies have been secretive about radiation leaks so there is no way of knowing about the incidents that have taken place. Crystals are a positive form of Earth energy and have recently become more accepted as a healing modality.
Their strcture allows them to be used to receive, store, and transmitting formation. While crystals have some common characteristics, they also have their individual strengths: amethyst -receiver, tourmaline - amplifier, aquamarine - tuner, carnelian - grounder, Amazonite - open to higher psychic energies.
Star Trek Medicine is Here Now
It exists - a pocket-sized device that can be used to heal almost any injury or illness. It is called SCENAR or "self controlled energo-neuro-adaptive regulation". This device gives off frequencies for the patient that can either be chosen by the operator or chosen by the device based on the body's energy patterns. These can also be used in conjunction with acupuncture points, myofascial points, and other trigger points.
A SCENAR practitioner looks for "asymmetries" in energy, some unusual characteristics in certain tissues or areas, and treats those points. The outcome is that the body's energy systems are reset to healthier patterns, causing the natural healing process to take care of any discrepancies. Past illnesses and injuries may reappear briefly during the process so that they can be completely healed.
These devices are generally made in Asia and Russia and can vary in quality and support information. The author recommends those from the OKB Ritm company in Russia. Some adjunct equipment is also offered: electrodes for muscle and skin toning, goggles for improving visual acuity, and a therapeutic blanket. SCENAR is so simple to use that "home models" are available.
Weird or What?
Even with the advent of antibiotics and dental care, gum disease is a significant risk factor for heart disease, as serious as smoking, family history or obesity. Tooth and mouth issues also affect the brain, muscles and bones, particularly if the mouth contains metal caps or fillings.
Unfortunately, dentists call this a medical problem while doctors call it a dental problem so neither group does research. Mercury poisoning is one tooth-related problem. Many doctors and dentists still refuse to believe mercury is toxic, even when they are required to follow strict work-place rules about handling it. EAV practitioners have long found mercury to be one of the main culprits in metal poisoning and, perhaps, multiple sclerosis.
NICO is a disease named by EAV practitioners; it is an abbreviation of neuralgia-inducing cavitational osteonecrosis, a dental condition. This is a combination of some dead bone in the jaw, nerve damage in the face and possible cysts where bone used to be. Typically it is seen in people ages 35-65. The current solution is to take out the rotten bone and pack the area with coral calcium in the hope that new bone will grow, which it does in about two-thirds of the cases.
To deal with dental conditions such as these, here are a few tips:
• Go to a biological dentist
• Eat a healthy diet low in sugars and high in alkaline foods
• Take co-enzyme Q10 and vitamin C to curb toxicity and support gum health
The Non-Material Nature of Substances
Contemporary medicine works under the condition that only measurable substances affect bodies and health. this is definitely not true. Following is some proof of the effects of non-material substances:
• Homeopathic remedies still contain the energy of the active substance after the liquid has been so diluted that none of the original substance remains. This has been proven repeatedly in experiments using thermo-luminescence.
• The electro-magnetic "signature" of a substance can be digitized via computer and then fed into water, turning the water's energy into that of the original substance. The energy can also be copied onto a disk or sent by email!
• Digitized energy can also be used for diagnosis by creating the digital signature of a pathogenic molecule and testing to see if a person carries it.
Unfortunately, biologists have not move into the energetic realm yet and physicists are generally not interested in biology so these ideas remain outside the mainstream. Those who do embrace these ideas have termed it "digital biology".
The Royal Raymond Rife, created in the 1930s, is one of the electronic healing machines using these ideas. Rife originally created a microscope that was able to see extremely small live organisms such as viruses by using ultra-violet light rays (current electron microscopes can only view dead matter). He found that playing a sound frequency to these organisms caused them to vibrate until they burst, like singing a tone to a water glass and shattering it.
Over the years, he discovered the shatter frequency for over 600 pathogenic substances - he called this the "mortal oscillatory frequency". He even cured 16 terminally ill cancer patients, a 100 percent success rate, but his machines were banned in Germany and his results ignored.
Even worse, his colleagues created similar machines but disregarded some important factors, which caused poor outcomes and professional disrespect. Add to this the advent of antibiotics, which cost much less than Rife's ray machine, and the new radio frequency regulations of the FCC which applied to it.
Rife's fate was doomed and he died a sad, frustrated man. Recently some of his ideas have been resurrected and are being tested.
Biology beyond Death
The concept of "biology beyond the skin" goes even further than the individual. Since energy never dies but only changes form, some scientists have attempted to communicate with the"dead". Thomas Edison explored this during his lifetime, but wasn't able to find anything useful.
Contemporaries of Edison recorded voices "from beyond" onto phonograph records and through vacuum tube radios. Other cases were also reported but many were difficult to hear due to static, background noise or fast speech. In the1970s, William O'Neill developed the Spiricom which can record conversations with people who are physically dead.
An electrical engineer named George Mueller who had passed on 14 years earlier came to O'Neill and his colleagues at the Meta science Foundation stating that he wanted to help with their project. To verify his identity, Mueller was able to tell researchers his Social Security Number, the location of his birth certificate, and details of his work at the University of Wisconsin and Cornell. The author has heard some of the dialogues between Mueller and O'Neill and believes them to be authentic.
Mark Macy and the International Network for Instrumental Transcommunication (INIT) received regular messages from a group who said they had never lived in physical bodies. They were able to give helpful information about the work of INIT as well as information about life on Earth and working with"spirits". These messages came through computer, radio, telephone, and other devices but only when the group receiving them had clear and positive intentions. The messages stopped when doubts and fears clouded the INIT group relationships. Some tips for those who want to try this type of communication can be found on Macy's website: www.worlditc.org
What does all this have to do with Virtual Medicine? These beings often come to give healings or information to people who have asked for help. They may have also been the unseen support and guidance in the development of many of these electro-magnetic healing devices.
Electronic Kundalini
Traditional shamans have a more realistic picture of humans than most medical doctors because they understand energy in relation to health. The arrogance and closed-minded attitude of most M.D.s does nothing to promote health or a trusting relationship with patients. If medical students were shown the scientific basis of these virtual medicine devices, they might change their perspectives on healing and human bodies.
After reading about these studies and machines, one might wonder where the boundary of theoretical physics ends and where the transcendental or consciousness mystery begins. Or how much influence the patient and the practitioner have on the outcomes of the testing and healing. These and many other questions about consciousness and science need to be asked and the answers attempted in order to re-frame science in general.
As Arthur C. Clarke stated, "The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible". This century's contribution to health care will not be a return to traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic healing systems, but will use them as a foundation for technological healing modalities. The near future may very well include computers that can diagnose disease and then provide the perfect healing energies. Computers may also be able to interact with human thought. But this work also has to include a stronger awareness of consciousness on the part of humans.
Physicist David Bohm proposed that the Universe was a hologram; each part of it contains the whole. He also posited that it contains an explicit (physical) and implicit (inner, unseen)order, as shown by the body and the morphogenic field that surrounds and infuses it.
This means that we could actually know everything there is to know -- past, present and future - because we are part of that energy. Others,such as Frederik Pohl, work within a somewhat different perspective. In an article called Intimations of Immortality, he wrote, 'The essential 'you' isn't your body. It is what we call your personality, your memory, your mind. This essential 'you' could be preserved inside a computer, a collection of magnetic impulses in an IBM machine." The merging of humans and computers is a live debate among some scientists.
So, why does virtual medicine need to be explored further? One answer is given by Swedish film producer Friedrich Juergenson, talking from "the other side": "Every being is a unity of spirit and body that cannot be separated on Earth or in spirit. The only difference is the fact that the physical body disintegrates and in its place comes the astral body.
Our message [from this side] is to tell you that your life goes on. Any speculations on how an individual will experience it are bound to be limited in accuracy. All your scientific, medical or biological speculations miss the mark of these realities. What serves as 'real' to science is not close to reality in the broad picture. It is no more than a word in a book."
Science has generally ridiculed ideas it didn't understand or couldn't prove, such as auras. Mechanistic science is stuck in the framework of "naïverealism" - what you see is all there is. A few scientists have been interested in energies and their influence but, until recently, that topic has generally been ignored. For instance, Isaac Newton's metaphysical writings and ideas were not published and were not discussed in his biographies because scientists didn't want to give them credence.
Dr Voll and Bioresonance Diagnostics
Principles of EAV
When using bioresonance testing according to Voll, the negative pole (-ve side of battery) is connected by a black cable to the brass electrode held in your client's hand. We call this electrode the reference electrode.
The polarity of the reference electrode is important. All systems based on electroacupuncture according to Dr. Voll connect the reference electrode to the negative pole. Inverting the polarity would produce completely different readings. Sticking to the convention negative pole = reference electrode combined with the mapping rule addressed below makes it possible to compare all people measured in this way. This is one of the major advantages of Voll's system compared to other methods.
The positive pole of the battery is connected over a measuring system containing some electronics to the measuring probe and thereby to the surface of the skin.
The electronics of the measuring system function according to a special rule developed by Dr. Voll to map the reading to the scale.
This mapping rule is a well-documented mathematical function that is applied to transfer the voltage and current measurements to the scale of the measuring instrument. It is based on Dr. Voll's own exact observations. Without these observations, precisely those readings in which we are interested would be squeezed together into a very small section of the scale. This would make it just about impossible to deliver any rational statement. By defining this mapping curve, Dr. Voll and an engineer called Fritz Werner provided a great service, because all systems that work according to Voll's approach follow this same mapping function.
Now, let us take a look at what we are actually measuring when a client holds the reference electrode in one hand and we use the measuring probe to take a reading at the other hand.
The minimal current we are using for our measurements has to pass through a resistance. This resistance varies from person to person. The lower it is, the higher the reading on the scale. Vice versa, the higher the resistance, the lower the reading on the scale.
Ideally, our probe is measuring at an acupuncture node. Such nodes show a different response compared to the normal surface of the skin - as we shall see later. What we are measuring is the electrical resistance or more precisely the energetic regulation response of the ions in the region of the acupuncture node.
Under normal circumstances when regulation is functioning properly, the organism strives to compensate for the minimal current flowing from the tip of the probe into the skin. Or, to put it somewhat differently, as long as the dynamics of the energetic regulation process are functioning properly, we shall see a stable absolute reading on the scale. However, the actual reading may be low, normal, or high depending on the ion status and on how quickly the organism can replace the ions influenced by the measuring current.
Later, we shall take a closer look at the so-called needle drop in Dr. Voll's system (some also refer to this as the "indicator drop"). To the best of current knowledge, this needle drop seems to arise because the energetic regulation system at the acupuncture nodes exhibits a very significant type of disorder that prevents ions from being replaced quickly enough.
Hence, in the area of the acupuncture node and the proximity of the measuring probe, we get what is called a depletion layer with a low number of ions. As measuring continues for a few seconds, the depletion layer, which could also be called a barrier layer, thickens continuously. This barrier layer impedes the current, and the resistance seems to grow continuously. At the end, the needle may well fall back to zero.
If we were to go on to measure several times in succession in such a case each measurement would produce increasingly lower readings. As a rule, such a disordered node may well require between 30 seconds and several minutes to regain its initial state. We have to take account of this when performing later measurements, so that we avoid falling into the trap that some critics view as the major weakness of EAV. They claim that readings cannot be replicated, thereby displaying their complete ignorance of the physiological and electrical properties of the acupuncture nodes.
Readings certainly can be replicated - even when they come from different EAV professionals! However, it is necessary to practice the measuring process thoroughly and to grasp the underlying principles.
In the most unfavorable case, an acupuncture node with a needle drop indicates two overlapping disorders:
1. A raised or lowered absolute reading.
2. A defective dynamic response.
Some comments on the needle drop:
EAV measurements are performed with a low direct current. In electrochemical terms, this always leads to what is called depolarization. This depolarization can be seen in the ‘physiological reading drop’ of the EAV. This effect appears after about 3 seconds, but often later as well. Hence, when a reading is stable for 2-3 seconds before the needle starts to drop slowly, then this is a stable reading in EAV terms. A true needle drop always happens immediately.
Just a few words about the electricity that is flowing here:
Electroacupuncture with biocheck actually does differ somewhat from that based on other systems. In these older systems, you frequently find currents ranging from 5 (low readings) to 16 microamperes and above (high readings). Because the mean current is 10 microamperes, this procedure is called 10 to mode.
Back in 1972, Dr. Kramer - an EAV expert in Nuremberg - already pointed out that these currents are far too high. At such levels, only a few measurements with the resonance test will frequently lead to an electrical traumatization, making it impossible to perform a resonance test at any speed. At the time, he suggested reducing the current to about 5 microamperes.
It should be possible to test at least 15 - 20, or more substances without any electrical impairment of the EAV node or acupuncture point.
Certainly, after 15 or 20 measurements, it probably would require that you change the acupuncture point and allow it to rest.
The next thing for us to look at is the scale.
Illustration 5: Dr. Voll's scale
Now that we are familiar with the basic measuring principle, we can take a closer look at the scale defined by Dr. Voll.
The scale is divided into 100 graduations. These graduations are not assigned any units, and are given various names in the literature such as percentages, scale divisions (SD), or scale units (SU).
In the following, we shall learn the five characteristics that we shall read off and interpret in our daily work.
The normal reading
You can already see the first characteristic the normal reading-in the illustration. In all mammals-including us human beings- the ideal normal reading at most acupuncture nodes is 50. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule. For example, the normal reading for Node 3E20, the hypothalamus node, is 80. You can find this node in the little hollow directly above the ear. It is frequently used to test the influence of hypothalamus-related disorders or head foci on the acupuncture nodes.
Although the normal reading is 50 at most nodes, practice over the years has shown that slight deviations from the norm are acceptable. This is marked by the green area on the scale. In other words, scores between 45 and 60 are taken as normal readings. The reason for these slight deviations may lie in the inner circadian rhythm known from Chinese medicine (resting and active times of the organs according to TCM). Another reason could be that your client is feeling a bit nervous or tired.
Hence, in summary:
Scores between 45 and 60 are normal readings; 50 is the ideal normal reading.
A comment on older literature:
Recently, I was asked to review an article for a professional journal written by a long time EAV specialist. This stated that scores up to 80 are acceptable. You will also find this score in older textbooks. I have been working with EAV for 16 years, and, in my experience, this is clearly incorrect. The resonance test also confirms this unequivocally. The author of the submitted article went on to explain that he worked with a contact pressure of up to 1,500 gram force on the EAV node. That reveals the cause of the problem: With such painful measurements (more unpleasant than a visit to the dentist), one is already far from the measurement plateau (see later). Therefore, please take a critical approach to older literature.
"Pathognomonic" readings
We have now learned about the first of the five characteristics: the normal reading. However, the so-called energetic ‘pathognomonic’ readings are far more interesting, and, without doubt, these are the ones you will encounter most frequently in your work. These are readings that point to energetic regulation disorders. Because the word ‘pathognomonic’ is a bit of a tongue twister, it has become accepted practise to simply call these readings energetically ‘pathological.’
I stated above that we can read five characteristics from the scale. We have already got to know the normal reading. The four remaining characteristics indicate energetic regulation disorders in a client.
Important comment: Because EAV (and bioresonance) is still not a recognized medical treatment, the pathological effect of abnormal readings at the acupuncture nodes is still not fully
understood or confirmed by empirical research. This is why we place the terms "pathognomonic" and "pathological" in quotation marks, and prefer to use the term "pathognomonic" (meaning pointing to possible imbalance). In EAV terminology, and therefore here as well, readings that deviate from the normal reading are called energetically "pathognomonic" readings.
We ask you to read and handle the label "pathognomonic" readings as readings that deviate from the norm defined in the EAV.
We shall now turn to the first energetic "pathognomonic" characteristic:
The high reading
A high reading is characterized by the needle jumping to, for example, 70, 80, or even higher when we place the probe on the acupuncture node. The needle then stays at this level for at least 2-4 seconds.
This is a good time to point out that this 2-4 seconds represents the length of time you need to keep the probe on the acupuncture node. Of course, you can stay on the node for a bit longer. However, an imbalanced acupuncture node is often relatively sensitive to pain, and an unnecessarily long measurement can be very unpleasant for the client.
We have seen that the needle can show any number of high readings. The rule is:
The further the needle departs from 50, the stronger the imbalance at this node.
At times, the needle may even display a reading of 100. This is certainly a very significant imbalance. However, when you subsequently proceed to carry out the resonance test, you have to bear in mind that Voll's curve flattens out between 90 and 100. In addition, a node with a score in this range is very sluggish. Weak reactions to test substances are difficult if not impossible to recognize. Therefore, our recommendation is:
For an acupuncture node with a reading of about 100, don't carry out a resonance test, but switch to the node with the next lower reading.
It may well be that distance effects from a whole range of imbalances overlap at such a node, and this may explain why you are getting such a high reading. You will often find the following:
If we eliminate the distance effects, we can suddenly carry out very good measurements, because the previous reading of 100 at the acupuncture node has now returned to a reading ranging between 10 and 90.
A few more words on distance effects:
When you start to measure the nodes on a client's hand, you may well find that you get a reading of
- 80 at the first node,
- 85 at the second,
- 75 at the third,
- 90 at the fourth, and so on.
If we now say that all readings above 60according to the EAV system and as depicted on the upper right-hand side of the illustration-indicate acute or inflammatory disorders, we have to assume that inflammatory disorders are present in the lymph, lung, and large intestine; the nerves are stressed; and so forth. Although this may be possible, it is unlikely. Let us now test at the endocrine system node (3E). There is a very high reading here as well. However, when we take an appropriate substance from the test kit such as thyroid D10 and place this in the test tray, we find that 3E is in the normal range.
We shall leave this substance in the test tray and measure the first four nodes again.
We can now see, for example:
- A reading or 50 for the lymph.
- 50 for the lung as well.
- A higher but less extreme reading of 70 for the large intestine.
- A slightly raised reading of 60 for the stressed nerves meridian.
Hence, by balancing the value of the 3E with the thyroid substance, we have balanced the nodes for lymph, or lung, and stressed nerves as well. Only the large intestine continues to exhibit an energetic "pathognomonic" reading that now emerges quite clearly.
It should be noted that other substances from the endocrine system group of samples could also have had this effect. The thyroid is only taken as an example.
If you have studied extended Wu Xing (five movements theory), then you will be familiar with such distance effects. Here, we can find the use of other terms such as "bullying" and "insult" to describe the interplay between stressed meridians. This is exactly where the distance effects arise.
In summary, we can see that what we have essentially done with our first measurement is to measure the distance effects of imbalances in the endocrine system. Here is the rule:
Distance effects are due to energetic imbalances of other meridians. They simulate energetic "pathognomonic" readings at a node or make these readings worse.
The true readings at the node can only be discerned after distance effects have been eliminated.
We have taken the distance effects of 3E as an example. However, any other chronic imbalance can develop distance effects on other meridians. One practical tip:
Imbalances originating in 3E almost always lead to distance effects.
As a result, some professionals have made it a habit to always start off by measuring 3E. If an imbalance originating there can be ascertained, this is the first to be eliminated. But, take care: The 3E can also be a "victim" of distance effects. You will recognize this when your first test at 3E reveals balancing substances that bear no logical relationship to the endocrine system. In such cases, pay particular attention during the resonance test to the measurement nodes of those organs that typically match the substances found at the 3E. For example, if Solidago [goldenrod] improves the 3E reading, this draws attention to the kidney meridian. In this case, the cause of the distance effect at 3E is imbalances of this meridian.
Later on, you will learn a little trick that can help you to avoid falling unwittingly into the distance effects trap. By the way, during the course of this seminar, you will get to know several such tricks that aim quite simply to overcome the myth that it takes three hours to carry out an EAV test. For example, after a bit of practice with the resonance test, you will certainly be able to test and balance the hand nodes in 10-20 minutes. Most of today's clients have neither the time nor the money to spare for long sessions. Therefore, learning to apply such tricks or aids is both a necessary and meaningful way to make our work faster and more efficient.
Another point:
At the top of the illustration, you can see terms like terms like acute/inflammatory and chronic/ degenerative. The last example with the 3E has shown that these rules dating back to the pioneer days of EAV need to be treated with caution, because there are always so many exceptions to the rule. Nonetheless, now and again, they are thoroughly justified and match the physical conditions. For example, if the tissue is in an acute or inflammatory state, you will find a higher proportion of hydrogen ions. This reduces the electrical resistance so that more current flows during a measurement and the needle gives a higher reading.
Similarly, during the early years of EAV, observations of "pathognomonic" states were matched to measurement readings, and this also led to the formulation of some dogmatic rules. Common sense already tells us that any dogmatic rules should always be treated with a degree of skepticism. Therefore, follow this tip: Whenever you hear about fixed dogmatic rules, always ask about the exceptions to the rule. In the majority of cases, you will find that it is these exceptions that apply.
The low reading
We have got to know the high reading. Its logical opposite is obviously the low reading. For example, a node may show a reading of only 25, 30, or 35, that is, readings in the lower part of the scale. Frequently, such low readings are found in chronic or degenerative conditions that have been pushing the energetic regulation system to its limits over a long period of time.
Here as well, we should be careful not to generalize, because there are also exceptions to the rule.
For example, one of your regular clients comes to you during the winter. You know that her readings are very easy to measure. However, when you start measuring her nodes today, you find that all of them have shifted to between 0 and 10 or perhaps up to 20. Frequently, this will be because this patient has recently infected herself with a pathogen. Perhaps she is coming down with a cold. Hence, she is in the incubation phase. Many people tend to centralize all their "energy" during such incubation phases, and you can see this in such low readings.
In other words, when no alternative evidence is available, you should only interpret the needle readings in terms of physical conditions insofar as they indicate the need for further investigations.
For low readings as well, the rule is:
The further the reading departs from 50, in other words, the lower it is, the more energetic "pathognomonic" the indication.
We have now got to know three characteristics:
1. The normal reading.
2. The high reading.
3. The low reading.
We said that we would talk about five characteristics, so there are still two to go.
In Dr. Volt's system there is one more characteristic-perhaps the most important of all-the needle drop.
The needle drop
A needle drop is what happens when the needle rises quickly as soon as we are on the node, but does not stay there. It falls back again immediately. The needle can drop to any reading between the maximum value and 0 or even as far back as 0 itself. We can hear this very clearly from the signal emitted by the EAV instrument (e.g., biocheck): A high reading elicits a highpitched and almost shrill tone. While the needle is dropping, the tone becomes deeper and deeper-like a siren-before eventually leveling out. However, the tone can also fade away completely, letting you know that the needle has reached zero. Initially, you may well find this tone a bit irritating. However, with some practice, you will definitely learn to appreciate it. Often, you will no longer need to look at the instrument at all, because the tone will already tell you what the reading is. This audio feedback is particularly helpful when dealing with a needle drop. You can hear straight away whether you can remove the probe from the node after 2 or after 4 seconds, or whether you need to stay on the node longer because of the presence of a reading drop.
So, let us repeat:
A needle drop is characterized by the needle jumping to a high reading, but not staying there. It then drops until it reaches its final value.
This final reading does not have to be static. It is quite possible that
- the needle will start off by dropping at a relatively high speed,
- hesitate for a moment, and
- carry on dropping at a slower speed – generally until it reaches zero (= natural electrochemical depolarization).
This short interval in which the needle is changing its speed is called the tipping point. The reading at this tipping point is the important one for the measurement. Everything that follows is the so-called physiological needle drop to be found in every individual. Even in a client with a normal reading of 50, the needle will start to drop very slowly after 3, 4, or 5 seconds of measurement. This is a natural physiological phenomenon, and is irrelevant for our purposes.
Sometimes, a tipping point is not that easy to recognize. Computer software for recording readings like the software for biocheck Pro is a great help here. Your PC will monitor the course of measurement and signal when it is over. This makes measuring a very quick process-and you don't have to write anything down.
Hence, we can see that during a needle drop, the needle goes down from a first reading-of, for example, 80-to a second reading-of, for example, 20. In this example, the part of the reading that makes up the needle drop is 80 - 20 = 60. Let's take another needle drop: one that goes from 70 to 40. Its value-or the "arrow length" when we go on to enter the readings in the graph-is 70 - 40 = 30. If we now compare these two needle drops, which one is more energetic "pathognomonic"?
Here is a rule:
The larger the value of the needle drop (i.e., the longer the arrow in the diagram), the more energetic "pathognomonic" it is.
In other words, the greater the needle drop, the more energetic "pathognomonic" the node.
Since the needle drop is a dynamic process, we also need to pay attention to a further feature: how quickly it drops.
The rule here is:
The more quickly the needle drops, the more imbalanced the energetic regulation system responsible for replacing the ions at the acupuncture node.
In other words, if I have two needle drops of equal value that drop at different speeds, then the node at which the needle drops more quickly is the one that is more energetic ‘pathognomonic.’
A few more words on how long we need to stay at the acupuncture node:
We have said before that approximately 24 seconds should suffice. This is correct, as long as we are measuring a stable reading. As soon as we measure a needle drop-and that is something that we can see or hear during the first 2-3 seconds-we have to remain on the node until:
- the needle comes to a halt, or
- we can recognize a tipping point, or
- the needle drops below a reading of 10.
Remember, voll’s curve flattens out at both ends of the scale, and readings become increasingly less meaningful. In other words, it makes hardly any difference whether we measure a reading of 3,5 or 9.
What is important is that we remain on the node with as little change in pressure as possible until we reach the tipping point or a final reading.
When first starting to apply EAV, some practitioners tend to continuously increase the pressure on the node as the needle drops. It is almost as if they subconsciously wish to "compensate" for the drop. In our workshops, we repeatedly see the painful faces of participants being maltreated by their partners!
So please be kind but firm: Keep the appropriate pressure for the individual client at a fairly constant level. As you will see later, when we are really on the node, pressure has no real influence on the needle reading. However, once the pressure goes beyond a certain threshold, we leave the constant domain, the so-called plateau. The client will also find such pressure highly unpleasant.
When the needle drops, there is also one more phenomenon that requires our attention:
Let us assume, for example, that you are measuring an acupuncture node and the needle drops from 80 to zero. You have placed the probe on the acupuncture node, and seen how the needle has risen rapidly to 80 and then dropped. At about 50, let's assume that you slip off the node. Then you get the probe back on to it. Now you see a reading that begins at 70 before it drops. When the reading has dropped to 30, your telephone rings. This distracts you, and you slip off the node again. When you get back on the node this time, you see a reading that starts at 50 before it begins to drop.
You can see that every time we lose the node when the needle drops, the initial reading when we find it again is somewhat lower. This is probably because the energetic regulation system first has to resupply the ions used up by the previous measurement. If the energetic regulation system is responding normally, this will take only 1-2 seconds, and we shall get roughly the same reading every time.
However, when there are marked imbalances, this procedure can require 30 seconds or more, and the above-mentioned effect will occur. The initial reading will decrease continuously from measurement to measurement.
One aside here: When the needle drops, I make two further distinctions: When two needle drops both have the same value, I would view the one exhibiting such a very sluggish dynamic response as being more energetic "pathognonomic."
The degree of exhaustion at such a node can be assumed to be particularly high, and this will also project itself to other meridians as a distance effect.
However, this phenomenon has only a peripheral influence on the course of measurement, because when the needle drops, our main interest is in:
- the first, initial reading,
- the speed of the needle drop, and
- the final reading.
Hence, if you slip off the node while carrying out the measurement, which is something that can happen quite easily, you only need to consider or note the first initial reading. If you have not managed to catch this, all you have to do is press the "MAX button" on your biocheck instrument. As long as this button is being pressed, the needle will show the last maximum reading measured.
This maximum reading button is also very helpful when needles drop very quickly. The reading at a node may well drop faster than the needle can follow mechanically. In such cases, the instrument displays a reading that seems to drop from 60 to a final reading. However, when you press the MAX button, you will see a maximum reading of 80. This is the reading that you should enter into your table.
The needle rise
This leaves us with just one more characteristic: A needle that rises.
Rising needles are relatively rare-in our experience, they occur in less than five percent of all measurements. A rising needle is the exact counterpart of a dropping needle. However, needles generally don't rise as far as they drop. This means that when your probe is on the node, you first get a reading of, for example, 30. While you remain on the node, this reading rises to 40 or 50, or sometimes even higher. In the early years of EAV, such rises were assumed to be stronger indicators of imbalance than drops. However, nowadays, both types of response are considered to be just about equally important. When the needle rises, you will often have to anticipate a longer period of treatment, and the imbalance indicated by the rising needle will initially respond only sluggishly to attempts to balance it.
Let us summarize once again:
The EAV instrument scale delivers information on the state of every single acupuncture node. This state may be normal in EAV terms, or it may deviate from this norm. We call deviant readings energetic "pathognomonic" in relation to the acupuncture node.
The greater the deviation from the normal reading, the greater its significance. We have got to know the following non normal readings:
- high readings,
- low readings,
- dropping needles, and
- rising needles.
Normal readings lie in the area between 45 and roughly 60.
Furthermore, we have pointed out that it is necessary to take a cautious approach toward earlier general sweeping statements such as acute/inflammatory. We have talked about tricks and tips based on practical experience that can help you to simplify or speed up the EAV measurement procedure. As a furthr hint in this direction, the next illustration will take a look at what we call the priorities.
Important Rules and the Significance of the Vegetative Reflex Test (VRT)
1. The Vegetative Reflex Test (VRT) represents an advanced development of the ‘Electroacupuncture according to Voll’ (EAV) concept. It features a combination of electronic measurements of skin resistance on specific energy meridian points that disclose vital health information through vegetative (autonomic) reflexes and resonances.
2. When all conventional diagnostic tests (physical and biochemical) reveal no clues to the cause of a patient’s complaints, the disorders are most likely functional in nature rather than morphological. The VRT reveals about 80% of the otherwise undiagnosable cases of migraines, backaches, exhaustion, sleep disturbance, etc.
3. When conventional examination cannot fully or correctly explain the patient’s complaints, the VRT is highly indicative. It is superbly suited for the diagnosis of functional ailments and of clinically obscure, subclinical disorders. These make up about 20% of all indications.
4. In severe clinical cases with perplexing differential diagnosis, the VRT can be of decisive help. It can lead to wide-ranging diagnostic discoveries of utmost significance.
5. The VRT, is not and cannot be, a substitute for conventional diagnostic procedures whenever they are indicated. Experienced physicians face the dilemma off and on.
6. Up-to-date experience shows that the VRT achieves the greatest rate of diagnostic success in cases of functional disturbances. This is presumably due to the physical basis of the VRT, a diagnostic system that utilizes the phenomenon of biological resonance.
7. 70% of patients in an average daily practice suffer from functional disorders manifested as chronic diseases. Conventionally, they are treated with chemotherapeutics. Functional disturbances cannot be confirmed by conventional diagnostics.
8. 30-40% of conventional laboratory tests for patients with functional ailments yield negative results (nothing of significance is revealed). This often seems to be a justification for psychotherapeutic intervention. This, in most cases is not productive.
9. Such diagnostic shortcomings of conventional medicine, results in needless suffering, with waste of time and money.
10. The VRT, which is subjective, is only as good as the clinician in charge. In the hands of a knowledgeable and experienced physician it can be of tremendous help to the patient.
11. The indications for VRT diagnostics apply to chronically ill patients with functional and subclinical disturbances (see 2 and 3). Attempting to corroborate VRT findings with conventional diagnostics would make as little sense as trying to detect sound waves with optical instruments. Functional disturbances initially are neither chemical nor morphological.
12. In Functional Medicine the VRT represents an important diagnostic method within the entire spectrum of diagnostic modalities.
The Fundamentals of Bioresonance Therapy
The term "bioresonance therapy" (abbreviated as "BRT") was coined in 1987 by the Brugemann Institute for "therapy with the patient's own oscillations". "Therapy with the patient's own oscillations" goes back to the physician Dr F. Morell [6], who presented the use of his idea for the first time in 1977. Great epoch-making findings are generally astonishingly simple. Morell's postulation of taking the pathological energies of the body itself in order to carry out the most individual and effective therapy with them has ushered in a new era in medicine. This is not an overvaluation of Morell's idea. Practical experience in this field since 1977, the unanimous verdict of many users and seminar participants is:
"Bioresonance therapy will have a lasting effect on the medicine
of the future."
The idea can be quickly outlined: all diseases and their pre-conditions are accompanied, or to be more correct, caused by electromagnetic oscillations. There is no pathological phenomenon without the presence of pathological oscillations in or around the body.
Pathological electromagnetic oscillations are active alongside the healthy oscillations in the body of every patient. The spectrum extends from extremely long to very short waves. The pathological oscillations in the body disturb the physiological states of equilibrium and cybernetic control circuits.
The body falls ill if the dynamic equilibrium can no longer be maintained by counter-regulation. In addition to this there are various environmental stresses of which the patient knows nothing and which therefore can scarcely be taken into consideration in a conventional diagnosis either. The electromagnetic oscillations or biosignals of a patient literally contain all the information that is necessary for therapy, although in a form which is not yet decoded.
Since the patient's own oscillations or signals are electromagnetic in nature, they can be picked up from the patient's body using special electrodes. These electrodes usually consist of several layers and contain a specially prepared magnetic foil with a field strength corresponding to the maximum magnetic field of the Earth, which according to scientific calculations was around three times stronger in earlier centuries than it is today. Since the magnetic field completely
penetrates the body tissue, signals not just from the surface of the skin but also from inside the tissue and the organs are picked up and conducted into the therapy device (Fig. 1.).
Fig. 1: The Bioresonance electrodes are provided with a magnetic field which corresponds in strength to the Earth's magnetic field. They consequently not only capture the bioenergy oscillations of the skin but also penetrate the tissue and can thus absorb information both from the skin and from inside the organism (input). When connected to the output they give therapeutic information into the tissue.
Using what is known as a separator circuit, the harmonious oscillations which are virtually identical in all humans and the harmonious environmental signals are filtered out through a filter following an idea of L. Mersmann. Substances are used for this purpose which only resonate with the harmonious "healthy" oscillations and not with the interference and harmful substance frequencies which differ from patient to patient depending on stressing and disease. Interfering frequencies of the environment are likewise not captured by this filter. The separator thus only resonates with harmonious and not with disharmonious frequencies. Only the disharmonious frequencies are passed on from the output of the separator. In this way it is possible to separate harmonious and disharmonious frequencies (Fig. 2).
Fig. 2: A separator in the Bioresonance device separates the ultrafine electromagnetic oscillations picked up from the patient into physiological (harmonious) and pathological (disharmonious) oscillations.
The therapy oscillations are returned to the patient from the output of the Bioresonance device using a second electrode, the harmonious frequencies being positively fed back (positive feedback) whilst the disharmonious frequencies are negatively fed back, i.e. inverted (negative feedback).
The patient's electromagnetic field reacts immediately to these precisely matching therapy signals and in turn enters the modified pattern of oscillations into the Bioresonance device. This process is repeated constantly in fractions of a second. The pathological signals in the body are consequently reduced and finally extinguished, and the physiological endogenous regulatory forces can regulate the biological processes unhindered. The physiologically dynamic state of equilibrium can be re-set (Fig. 3).
Fig. 3: As this example shows, the patient's body signals are conducted from the right hand into the input of the device using a Bioresonance electrode. In the device the disharmonious frequencies are filtered out and inverted according to a principle of L. Mersmann. These oscillations are thus available at the output of the device as therapy oscillations and are conducted back into the patient's body via the left hand using a second electrode
This is the fundamental principle of this special therapy. Morell named this form of therapy "Mora therapy", the word "Mora" being formed from the initial letters of the names Morell and Rasche. Rasche, the son-in-law of Morell, built the first therapy device of this kind, which was termed the "Mora" device.
The Brugemann Institute made this technique known among therapists in Germany and abroad over the course of a decade. The term "Mora" is less suitable as the designation for a therapy technique. This led to the term "bioresonance therapy" (BRT) being selected for therapy with the patient's own oscillations, providing a better technical designation. It has become established surprisingly quickly over the course of two years.
The term "bioresonance therapy" (BRT) is also applicable as the generic term for multiresonance therapy. This is performed with the aid of the MULTICOM device and operates with therapeutically applied signals from the environment, with which biological systems resonate.
These environmental signals include for example ultrafine oscillations of coloured light, tones, precious stones and minerals, metals and Schumann waves. The human body is an "open system" which needs the exciting or controlling signals from the environment in order to be able to survive. Many experiments have clearly proven this. The term "bioresonance therapy" thus has a dual meaning:
a) to designate therapy with the patient's own oscillations
b) to designate therapy with essential, ultrafine environmental signals (multiresonance therapy).
Bioresonance Therapy (BRT)
It is commonly supposed that in bioresonance therapy body-like technically generated signals are used which are supplied to the body using a technical signal generator. However, this is not the case.
It is in fact the original endogenous electromagnetic signals that have been conducted through the leads: firstly from the body to the therapy device and secondly from the therapy device back to the body. This is the fundamentally new therapeutic principle.
Regulatory processes take place incessantly in the body. This can be demonstrated via temperature fluctuations or by capacitance measurements or by electroacupuncture resistance measurement. A person usually does not go to the doctor until the endogenous regulatory forces are no longer adequate to eliminate the pathological stresses. (A special case is represented by the acute inflammatory diseases, which today are often suppressed with drugs instead of being left to endogenous regulatory forces, e.g. fever.)
The term "endogenous regulatory forces" has already been in common use in holistic medicine for a long time. The research results presented in this lesson show that the endogenous regulatory forces are of an electromagnetic nature and, in being so, are biophysically specific.
It can in fact be observed that extinguishing pathological oscillations in the organism causes significant and desirable therapeutic changes, e.g. increased removal of toxins via the skin, bladder, lungs and intestine, the reduction or elimination of subjective complaints such as pain, feelings of pressure and congestion, restricted movement etc.
The Application of the Cybernetic Control Circuit in Bioresonance Therapy
The term "cybernetics" was created by Wiener . Cybernetics has ushered in interdisciplinary cooperation which is of a significance which should not be underestimated for progress in a wide range of scientific fields. A key element in cybernetics is what is referred to as the cybernetic control circuit. This is widely used in technology. But there is also a wide variety of such cybernetic control circuits in the human body. Specialist terminology is consciously avoided in the following presentation of the cybernetic control circuit in order to assist understanding.
Before a cybernetic control circuit can function, a target or "setpoint" must be defined. In aviation it would be the destination airport, in the regulation of central heating 21'C. The target in the case of endogenous cybernetic control circuits would be for example to achieve a body temperature of 37°C, a blood sugar level of 85-110 etc.
The next part of the cybernetic control circuit is an activity in the direction of the target. On the way to the target it is repeatedly checked as to what extent the action carried out up to that point was precisely directed to the achievement of the target. If there are deviations, these are reported to the regulating centre with the order of magnitude of the deviation. The "regulating centre" makes a correction on the basis of this information in the direction of the precise achievement of the target. These "feedbacks" and corrections are repeatedly performed until the target has been attained. The constituents of the cybernetic control circuit are thus
a) the target,
b) an activity to achieve the target,
c) a measurement and feedback on what has been achieved so far,
d) a correction if the feedback of values so requires,
e) further action, feedback and correction until the target has been attained.
The following illustration is intended to clarify how the cybernetic control circuit is applied in bioresonance therapy (BRT). For instruction-related reasons only one individual oscillation is shown by way of example: in fact the endogenous oscillations are multisignals over wide frequency ranges (Fig. 4).
The device does not store the oscillations taken from the patient at the start of therapy, the patient and Bioresonance device instead form a cybernetic control circuit. As a result, the maximum degree of precision and therapeutic efficacy is achieved.
The aim of BRT is to reduce and finally eliminate the pathological oscillations in the body with the purpose of enabling the endogenous regulatory forces to acquire unhindered activity. With this objective, BRT is in full agreement with the aim of classical naturopathy. No doctor can achieve more than to make the endogenous regulatory forces fully effective again.
Chronic diseases begin where the endogenous regulatory forces are no longer able to work unhindered due to pathological interference signals which have become overpowering. If the force is taken away from the interference signals, nature is given the chance to gain "supremacy" again and produce health. In babies and infants this sometimes happens after a few seconds of bioresonance therapy time. In elderly, chronically sick patients three, five or more sessions of therapy with a treatment time of five to fifteen minutes are needed.
Electronic "Processing" of Ultrafine Biological Signals?
The endogenous regulatory forces, including the pathological oscillations or signals, still escape specific representation on a screen. They cannot yet be made visible, because what are termed the noise signals of the electronics are physically stronger than the ultrafine biological signals. But the ultrafine body signals are contained in the broadband noise of the electronics. All that is needed is receptors which can decode these ultrafine signals. Biological systems possess such receptors.
They take from the vast number of noise signals precisely those multisignals which resonate with the endogenous oscillations or signals. This is a fact which has been observed millions of times in practice. Without anticipating the comments made later in this lesson, reference should be made to research conducted by Reiter and Gdbor. They studied ultrafine bioenergies as are present in biological systems. The description below was taken from a "special issue of the scientific publications from the Siemens Group" (edited by the Central Office for Scientific and Technical Research Work). The paper was published in 1928 under the title "Cell division and radiation". The following are quoted from the twenty items in the summary:
"The existence of the remote action of particular biological objects on the growth zone of the onion root (induction effect) is confirmed. It is confirmed that the induction effect is caused by radiation. The radiation is studied with respect to its physical properties. It is found that it has the same properties in relation to reflection, refraction, diffraction and absorption as ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of around 30 nm."
What Reiter and Gdbor established for the radiation of onion roots, amphibian eggs and larvae also applies to endogenous signals. Twelve years of practice in therapy with patients' own oscillations clearly prove the electronic "processibility" of endogenous biological signals. Even though we have not yet been able to make the patients' own oscillations visible, we know that they can be electronically "processed" (switched) in the same way as technical signals. There is
no doubt as to the path taken by the endogenous signals through the Bioresonance device and how they are inverted, amplified, attenuated or filtered.
Frequent mention has so far been made of "patient's own oscillations". It appears appropriate to specify at this point what characterises a "patient's own oscillation"
First of all there is the term "frequency". This term is commonly used as a vague collective term for everything that has to do with oscillations. Frequency is only "the number of oscillations per second". In the area of radio and television, for example, the transmitting and receiving frequency must coincide in order to make transmission possible.
In the area of therapy with "patient's own oscillations" the form of oscillation, the oscillation characteristic, is of very great significance. This ought also to apply to the oscillations of medicines.
And finally we are also concerned with the height or intensity of the oscillation; this is termed "amplitude". If the volume control of the radio or television set is operated, the amplitude of the oscillations is changed but not the oscillation characteristic or the frequency. If another transmitter is searched for, the receiving frequency of the radio is changed but not the amplitude or the oscillation characteristic (assuming transmitters of equal strength).
Finally we are concerned in "patient's own oscillations" with fundamental waves and harmonic waves.
We next need to know that the endogenous signals are multisignals, i.e. a mixture of frequencies with different oscillation characteristics.
Unfortunately the two-dimensional form of representation is not adequate to provide a complete picture of the space and time sequence of endogenous oscillations.
The frequencies are not changed in therapy with "patients' own oscillations" but are only partially filtered away in order the more to "emphasise" the frequency band to be used for therapy. However, the amplitudes of the oscillations conducted into the device can be increased or reduced. We refer here to amplification or attenuation. There are values obtained from experience for each setting. However, the best possible amplification or attenuation can also be ascertained by the therapist himself through tests.
According to research findings it is the oscillation characteristic that constitutes the picture of a disease and is therefore of significance for therapy. The chief difference between physiological and pathological oscillations ought to lie in the oscillation characteristic itself.
Sometimes, although only in a few cases, it is sufficient to return the oscillations to the patient unchanged, usually slightly amplified or attenuated. The totality of the patient's own oscillations, i.e. the sum of the physiological and pathological oscillations, is designated by the symbol "A".
A commonly used therapy circuit is the inverse circuit developed according to the idea of Dr Morell, in which the patient's own oscillations are returned to him as the mirror image, i.e. phase-shifted through 180°. This process is designated INVERSION. The symbol for this therapy oscillation is "Ai". The first four years of therapy with patients' own oscillations produced only these two tried-and-tested therapy circuits.
As already mentioned, a separator was then developed from an idea of Mersmann, which made it possible to separate the pathological portions from the total oscillation spectrum. This separator has been improved several times over the course of time, most recently in 1987 with the development of various bioresonance devices.
Some examples with explanations of which therapy type is used Therapy type "Ai"
Therapy type "Ai" (physiological and pathological oscillations inverted) was used almost exclusively in the first four years of BRT. Today it is chiefly used where what are referred to as Yang conditions are concerned. The student will now ask: what happens to the physiological oscillations in this circuit? Millions of therapeutic applications prove that the physiological oscillations cannot be extinguished in this way.
A frequency range of 10-150,000 Hz was found to be relevant to therapy in the research work carried out for the Deta Elis device. We know that the pathological oscillations are mainly of a long-wave character, i.e. are effective in a low-frequency range. We in any case know for certain that the pathological oscillations can be very easily reduced or eliminated in the low-frequency oscillation range.
Since we are concerned here with such fundamental explanations, we shall first look at the toxins present in the body (autotoxins and foreign toxins). According to everything that has been observed over the tow decades of BRT, the amplitudes of the toxin oscillations can be sharply reduced by BRT.
They therefore lose the "power" to adversely affect the body, and also their "holding forces" which are electrostatic in nature. It has been proven that toxin elimination is greatly promoted by BRT. In view of the ever increasing number of foreign toxins acquired through the diet, this aspect is becoming more significant. It has now become virtually impossible to test all the foreign toxins present in the patient so that they can then be individually therapeutically influenced.
Measures of various kinds in connection with BRT are essential to rapidly eliminate the detached toxins. A relatively high degree of absence of toxins is, however, an important constituent of holistic therapy, and in particular also an important factor in the area of geriatric therapy. It is known that good health in old age is above all a matter of adequate toxin elimination.
Therapy type "A"
Therapy type "A" (the patient's own oscillations are returned to the patient non-inverted) can be used for a kind of provocation. There are a number of drugs which set up a block. This can be identified from the fact for example that the measured values of electroacupuncture diagnosis indicate normal values although the patient is evidently very ill. In this case brief treatment is carried out with therapy type "A", a kind of "breaking-open" of this rigid situation. Better diag-nosis then becomes possible, so that BRT can be applied more selectively.
However, there are also other (quite rare) cases in which therapy type "A" is preferable to the others. If therapy type "A" is the best possible for a patient at a particular time, this does not mean that the other therapy types would be ineffective or should not be applied. Rather, more may be achieved in a given unit of time with this circuit than with another therapy circuit. This applies in general to all five therapy circuits.
Therapy circuit "H"
Therapy circuit "H" (returns only the physiological oscillation portions uninverted to the patient) is mainly applied to patients in an exhausted condition. Returning the physiological oscillations to the patient strengthens the patient's endogenous regulatory forces or, expressed in physical terms, increases the amplitude of the physiological oscillations. The coupling forces produce a link from the lower-frequency oscillations captured by the electronics to the higher and highest-frequency physiological oscillations. This makes influencing the patient in the sense described possible. Therapy with "H" often enables the patient to react better to subsequent therapy steps.
Therapy circuit "Di"
Therapy circuit "Di" (returns pathological oscillation portions inverted to the patient) is used when almost exclusively pathological oscillations are fed into the device for therapy. This is the case for example when heavily loaded tonsil information is fed into the device (this can also be done using a tonsil smear).
Another example would be using the infected fluid from the alveolus or the pus following a tooth extraction, for therapy. In this case too, circuit "Di" will be first considered.
Therapy type "H + Di"
Therapy type "H + Di" (passes physiological oscillations noninverted and pathological oscillations inverted at the same time to the patient) is a very commonly used therapy circuit. It has proven its value in patients in the Yin condition. The oscillation portions "H" and "Di" can be switched independently with respect to amplification or attenuation, although they flow back to the patient simultaneously for therapy. More details on this are given in the next section.
What else does the electronics do to make therapy more effective?
Amplification was provided for in the first design of the Mora device in 1977, i.e. the amplitude of the oscillations fed into the device by the patient could be increased by the amplification and then returned to the patient. The usual amplifications were five times, ten times and twenty times. The four hundred times amplification which was initially planned was later omitted.
Practical experience shows that the amplification 1.0 is rare; the therapy oscillations needed by the patient become more effective either by amplification or by attenuation. One of the possible explanations for this empirically found regularity is what is referred to as the "Adey Window".
Adey discovered through experiments that stronger or strong signals achieve less effect under certain circumstances on biological systems than weaker or weak signals [9/10]. Rather there is a "biological window" through which a way must be found to give particularly effective treatment. The total range of amplification or attenuation of the endogenous signals is what is known as the "Adey Window". Within this window there are also "bull's-eye panes" through which the biological system can be particularly easily reached after individual testing.
The determination of the correct amplification or attenuation is not governed by theoretical considerations but is guided by empirically found or tested values which repeatedly occur in a large number of treatments. Amplifications or attenuations are recorded in recommended therapy programs stored and specified for the therapy application.
What additional electronic circuits help to improve the therapeutic effect?
There was already provision in the first therapy device for not only treating simultaneously with all oscillations fed into the device from the patient but also returning only parts of these oscilla-tions to the patient for therapy. The idea for this sprang from the research of Morell. He established that the tested fundamental frequency depends on the potency of the drug in homoeopathic drugs. The regularity he discovered is that the lower the potency, the lower the
fundamental frequency of the drug, and the higher the potency, the higher the fundamental frequency of the drug. It is possible to infer from this that diseases "prefer" particular frequency ranges. It may even be that chronic diseases feature oscillation patterns in relatively narrow precise frequency ranges.
It is also observed, as therapy progresses with increasing improvement, that a patient needs higher potency levels of a homoeopathic preparation. It can be concluded from this that in this case the disease moves from a lower frequency range into an ever higher frequency range and finally can no longer be tested. This means that the patient has "finished" with his disease.
In fact it has been proven, again through the experience of millions of applications, that it is generally more effective only to return a partial range of the oscillations fed in by the patient back for therapy instead of the whole spectrum at the same time. Frequency filters in the form of high and low pass were therefore already provided for in the first device.
One of the most essential innovations in the Bioresonance device was only returning a narrow frequency range to the patient for therapy. This concept emerged from the observation that BRT proved to be more effective if the therapy signal was passed or "pointed" as precisely as possible to the patient. An aid to understanding here is the observation from homoeopathy that of the many possible potencies of a drug one potency responds particularly well, whilst the other potencies exhibit less of an effect or no effect at all, and may perhaps even be detrimental.
Prof. Smith of Salford University (a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Brugemann Institute) discovered in extensive research that the appropriate therapy signal becomes effective virtually immediately, whilst the less appropriate or detrimental signal takes time to have an adverse effect.
It simplifies the application of therapy signals of very different kinds in that it achieves automatic selection of the frequency ranges or therapy signals which are particularly effective for therapy. The frequency range particularly effective for therapy responds immediately and becomes therapeutically effective. The therapy signals which are less favourable at the time of therapy are not considered.
There are four options for the Bioresonance device with regard to the electronic filtering of the frequency range:
1. Returning all frequencies which are fed into the device from the patient back to the patient simultaneously.
2. Only returning a small part of the frequencies; this is done using what is referred to as a manually settable band pass.
3. Automatic swinging of the band pass around a set centre frequency.
4. Returning a narrow frequency range in continuous sequence to the patient which sweeps the range from 10 Hz to 150,000 Hz at a settable speed.
The first option described above, of returning the whole frequency band at once ("ALL FREQUENCIES") is chiefly used in babies, infants and children. They are still capable of reacting to the wide, simultaneously supplied frequency spectrum. However, experience in therapy with bioresonance has shown that the continuous band pass is even more effective in these cases too.
The previously mentioned second option ("MANUAL FREQUENCY SELECTION") consists in only returning to the body narrow segment of the frequency range fed from the patient into the device. This is done using a band pass.
Extensive and costly research and development was needed to adapt the form of the bandpass filter to the regularities of organic systems. Development, functions, shaping forces and reactions in organic systems proceed according to logarithmic patterns. This was transposed to the band pass. It is very narrow in the low frequency range, widening with increasing frequency. In other words, the electronics automatically returns a narrow frequency band to the patient in the low frequency range and a broader frequency band as the frequency band becomes higher.
There is an additional circuit which is useful for therapy: the swinging of the band pass around a centre frequency. The technical term for this is "wobble". The band pass in this case moves automatically from the centre frequency outwards into frequency ranges above and below. Wobble results in the regularity discovered by Smith in so far as the effective therapy signals are therapeutically "emphasised" or the body reacts particularly well to the narrow frequency ranges given one after the other in time.
The fourth of the above-mentioned options is to make the frequency run continuously up and down through the whole frequency range relevant to therapy. The run speed can be set at choice between three and thirty-four seconds. It runs through a frequency range from below 10 Hz to 150 kHz.
Ten Guiding Principles for Understanding Bioresonance Therapy (BRT)
1. In and around the human body there are electromagnetic oscillations. These electromagnetic oscillations are superordinate to the biochemical processes and control them. Cell associations (symplasms) and organs oscillate in particular frequency ranges. An oscillation spectrum thus arises in the organism.
2. As well as the physiological electromagnetic oscillations, there are also pathological interfering oscillations in every person, caused for example by toxin loads, injuries, infections, incompletely cured diseases, iatrogenic damage.
3. The physiological and pathological oscillations together are referred to as the patient's own oscillations.
4. The patient's own oscillations can be picked up from the surface of the body (antenna effect) and conducted through a lead into a therapy device.
5. Therapy oscillations are made from the patient's own oscillations with the aid of modern electronics, without adding other or technically generated frequencies.
6. The patient's own oscillations transformed into therapy oscillations are fed back from the Bioresonance device to the patient's body. The therapeutic effect does not take place in the therapy device but in the body of the patient himself.
7. The therapy oscillations cause a therapeutic effect in the patient's body firstly by suppressing or reducing the pathological oscillations and secondly by exciting or strengthening the physiological oscillations.
8. The aim of bioresonance therapy is to reduce or eliminate the pathological oscillations and at the same time strengthen the physiological oscillations.
9. Improvements at the biophysical energy level are followed in time by an improvement in the biochemical processes in the direction of normalisation or healing.
10. The principal aim of bioresonance therapy is to activate the endogenous regulatory forces and free them of the interfering, pathological influences to the extent necessary for a return to health.
Test techniques and documentation in connection with bioresonance therapy (BRT)
We have so far only spoken about therapy, although the diagnosis obviously always comes in at the start. As the name bioresonance therapy (BRT) suggests, the emphasis is on therapy. With regard to test techniques, the user of BRT is free to practise the techniques that appear to him to be the best. Experience shows that prudent therapists generally do not rely on one test technique. There is no test technique which would be unsuitable for use in connection with BRT.
However, test techniques which record the current energy situation of the patient as precisely as possible are very helpful. The test technique should also allow the changes occurring as a result of therapy to be readily identified. Alongside other techniques, mention should be made of the following, which fulfil these requirements:
- electroacupuncture test according to Voll
- bioelectronic functional diagnosis (BFD)
- Vega test method according to Dr. Schimmel - kinesiology test
- Nogier reflex test (RAC)
- Chinese pulse test
- segment electrograms - decoder technique - Kirlian photography - thermography
- Croon's measuring technique
- Autonomic Response Testing (ART) according to Dr Klinghardt
The great benefits which mastering one or more of these test techniques brings are constantly referred to during the intensive introduction seminars held by the Brugemann Institute. Some significant benefits offered by the application of one or more of these test methods will be emphasised here.
As explained, patients have an individual oscillation pattern and therefore an individual way of reacting. It could be said somewhat colloquially that one is not right for all. Experience shows that therapy is always more effective if it is adapted as well as possible to the precise individual situation of the patient, than just treatment "according to regulations".
Recording the precise present situation of the patient and testing the therapeutic measure most suitable for him at this time entails factors of success which should not be underestimated. In this procedure fewer treatments are generally needed and the therapy time itself is shortened. The main benefit, however, is that therapeutic success can be achieved even in patients who would otherwise be regarded as resistant to therapy. There is a further significant advantage: this rapidly indicating test technique enables the therapist himself to check the suitability of drugs and therapy techniques.
He can quickly remove the uncertainty created by contradictory statements of conference speakers or authors by carrying out his own check. The therapist in practice gains far greater competence in assessment if he has a good mastery of at least one of these test methods. This applies even to techniques or drugs which are new to him. He will also be able to discover the risk of adverse side-effects of drugs or techniques relatively quickly and draw his own conclusions from them.
In the interests of public health for the future of medicine nothing better could happen than for each therapist to thoroughly learn one or more of these rapid-indicating biophysical test methods.
Voll's electroacupuncture. It is without doubt an outstanding method for making very detailed diagnostic findings. However, for many different reasons therapists are often not able to perform Voll's electroacupuncture. It may fail because of time and/or technical factors.
The therapist should therefore learn a test method to which he has the greatest learning and which fits in best with his individual practice. Even just a few test results for which only a minute may perhaps be needed can yield important inferences on the current situation of the patient. This is not intended as a recommendation to diagnose superficially. We are concerned here with additional diagnostic pointers which may prove very useful.
What diagnostic options are offered by the test section built into the DETA device?
It is a test section according to the principle of electroacupuncture. The term electroacupuncture contains both measurement and therapy with technically generated stimulating currents. In connection with BRT only measurement is involved, not therapy with technically generated currents (relaxation oscillations, charging and discharging etc.). Many people who have attempted to perform electroacupuncture have failed on the most fundamental aspect, the pure measuring technique.
Many years of observations have shown that the difficulty does not consist in learning the significance of the individual acupuncture points or the interaction of the meridians themselves or with the organs. It is not a problem of understanding, the main hurdle to be overcome being the pure measuring technique. The reproducible measurement of an acupuncture point should be learnt first. Reproducible measurement is understood here to mean repeated measurement of acupuncture points with an average deviation of around + /- 3 graduation marks. The measuring technique depends on the measuring electrode used.
There are some rules for the measuring technique which should be respected when measuring with the electrode:
1. Moisture. Moisture generally needs to be added. This can be done in two ways:
a) by dipping the low-pressure electrode into a moistened gauze sponge,
b) by applying moisture with the pad of the finger and then "rubbing in" with light pressure with the ball of the thumb. The acupuncture point is now optimally prepared for measurement for a few seconds. Dry or moistened skin (without a water film being visible) can account for differences in measured value of ten to fifteen graduation marks.
2. Placing the measuring tip vertically onto the skin. (Whether this has been successfully done can be very easily checked from the impression made by the measuring tip on the skin.)
And now comes the most important and difficult part of the measuring process, which has to be practised most:
Lightly applying and rapidly increasing the measuring pressure as far as the point at which the increase in pressure and the rise of the pointer cease to coincide. The measuring stylus is only moved in the axial direction. (No tilting movements are performed.)
This is a method which allows relatively readily reproducible results to be achieved. Problems in measurement which occur as a result of different skin quality are largely eliminated by this procedure. The question here is not what pressure must I apply but where must I stop the increase in pressure during the measuring movement. If the regularity illustrated in the figure is respected, sufficiently precise measured values can be achieved relatively rapidly. However, many hours of practice are essential.
There are devices in which the pressure is indicated with the aid of which a constant measuring pressure can be achieved. Anyone who has practised this and manages well with it should stay with it. Anyone who is in the process of learning the measuring technique will do well to practise the procedure described above until it produces satisfactory, reproducible results. The main errors in this measuring technique are:
not moistening the skin sufficiently or moistening it too much, not placing the low-pressure electrode vertically, making a tilting movement with the measuring stylus,
increasing the pressure too rapidly, i.e. "entering" the acupuncture point at too high a pressure,
increasing the pressure too tentatively.
If someone intends to use the test section, he should not start any additional actions which will be discussed below, until he knows that he can achieve measurements which are reproducible in the sense defined above. It is unwise to carry out any further tests until the pure measuring technique has been mastered.
There are cases in which the results of therapy remain unacknowledged and devalued because the measuring technique is not mastered sufficiently. Frustration in this case is inevitable. Neither a drug or allergy test nor a test for the best possible setting of any parameters can yield satisfactory results if the pure measuring technique is not reproducibly mastered. According to experience it is not advisable to practise the measuring technique on oneself: measuring on someone else produces more objective results.
The measuring technique must also be mastered if one does not want to practise electroacupuncture according to Voll but only the measurement of a few points as mentioned below. Measuring only two, four or six points already provides a good guide.
What are known as the quadrant measuring points give an indication of the general energy situation of the patient and the distribution of energy in the body. The measurement of these points goes back to a suggestion of S. Kar.Z. The normal value for these points is 40, whilst the normal value for most electroacupuncture points is 50. In the panel practice it is often worthwhile only measuring two additional points: the right and left hypothalamus values on the head, above the ear (3E 20). Dr Kohler has written a special paper on this point described by Voll (available from the Brugemann Institute).
Correct measurement only of these two points already provides pointers to whether the patient is more in Yang or Yin and whether, and on which side, a head focus or a body focus exists, and to what extent the therapy has affected regulation in the patient.
Measuring the quadrant points provides important pointers to the therapy to be performed with regard to the arrangement of electrodes and the therapy program to be used.
Even if fundamentally different test methods are employed, one should not neglect to measure at least the four quadrant points and the two points of the hypothalamus on the right and left quadrant points (normal value 40), hypothalamus (normal value 80). It should finally be mentioned once again that this account is not intended to intervene in the discussion on which of the possible measuring techniques are best. Anyone who already masters one of these techniques and can apply it to his satisfaction should stay with it and not feel called upon to change his techniques. It is the result that counts, not the state of the art.
Drug testing
A full explanation has meanwhile been given of the principles on which drug testing is based. Only a few pointers will be given here. Homoeopathy, particularly the use of higher potencies, is based on the principle of electromagnetic oscillation information. Every substance has specific oscillation information which can be picked up through conductive electrodes. On the other hand, every functional disorder and pathological phenomenon in the body is accompanied or caused by electromagnetic oscillations.
If the oscillation from the drug is supplied to the measuring circuit of the test device, the therapy oscillations of the drug via resonance "find themselves" together, with the pathological oscillations in the body . A reduction thus temporarily occurs in the pathological oscillations in the body, leading to a change in resistance in the meridian system; the position of the pointer in the test section is influenced as a result.
The more precisely the drug corresponds to the interfering oscillations in the body in nature and potency, the more strongly the measured value reacts. Drugs are tested on acupuncture points which are not in balance. The appropriate drug brings the measured value into balance (the normal value of the test section on acupuncture points is 50 if brass electrodes are used). The phenomenon observed most strongly in electroacupuncture testing is what is known as "pointer drop".
The resistance in the measuring distance is increased under the effect of the small measuring current. If the measuring tip is held on the acupuncture test point and the pointer of the measuring instrument makes a downward movement despite a slight rise in pressure, we speak of a "pointer drop". An appropriate drug would therefore for example have to reduce or even eliminate pointer drop.
Nosodes, phytopharmaceuticals and also allopathic remedies can obviously also be tested in this way. It is also possible for example to find out through testing which of the many contraceptive pills has the least side-effects for the patient. The significance of this to the patient should not be underestimated, because she takes the pill daily over a long period.
Resonance - Primordial Principle of Life
In this next section we will examine in greater depth what is the significance of resonance to life and the living organism.
What are resonances and what significance do they have for the Cosmos, particularly for the organism or for life as such? Prof. Carlo Rubbia, who was awarded the 1984 Nobel Prize for his experimental demonstration of interaction bosons, emphasised in an interview at the beginning of 1988 that matter represents only one part of the structure of the Cosmos. He said that the phenomena of interaction and resonance, which control matter, are far more important.
These phenomena of interaction and resonance are concealed from Man, apart from a tiny fraction in the range of 1015 of visible light quanta. The ratio of interaction and resonance quanta (photons) to particles of matter (nucleons) is a constant of Nature which has the extremely high value of 9.746 x 108 quanta to one nucleon. The photonnucleon ratio signifies that a science which only looks at matter only covers one billionth of all the phenomena in the Cosmos, and indeed the subordinate part. It therefore draws unilateral and incorrect conclusions.
Complex Processes in Atoms and Molecules
In order to make clear the processes which take place in the atoms and molecules of the cells with unimaginable speed and complexity, we must fall back on simpler examples from acoustics and electronics. Resonance between oscillating particles is a primordial principle in the Cosmos. The word resonance comes from Latin and means something along the lines of "sounding back", "reverberating", "co-oscillating". A familiar example is the amplification of resonance in musical instruments by a sounding board, such as in a piano or violin. The notes which are produced mechanically are also passed to the surroundings mechanically and are then also received if particular conditions necessary for reception are met.
What conditions have to be met? Information is emitted from various transmitters to a radio receiver - only if the receiver is set to the transmitting frequency can the information be received. In other words, the receiver must be tuned to the frequency of the signals, i.e. resonate with the transmitter.
However, the phenomenon of resonance can be observed in the complete range of natural sciences and also has a special significance in medicine, as we shall see.
Homoeopathic preparations have an analogy in acoustics. If one lifts the damper off the strings of a piano and sings a note out aloud, the exact string of the piano which is in resonance with the sung note resonates with it. In exactly the same way, in the human body the resonator which is in resonance with the oscillation of an administered medicine responds. A resonator is an acoustic, mechanical, electromagnetic or biological system whose individual parts are tuned to a particular frequency and on being excited by a signal with this precise frequency start to oscillate, i.e. resonate with the signal.
And what is understood by oscillations? Oscillations are also referred to as resonances. They are changes in states or state quantities, periodical in time, in physical or biological systems (resonators) in which the states of equilibrium are disturbed, and what are known as restoring forces try to restore these.
Waves, by comparison, are also periodical processes in space and time, in which energy or signals or information are transported. The two terms, oscillations and waves, are often used synonymously.
If a note is produced on a violin by oscillation, this is carried by sound waves or phonons to the hearer, and the phonons excite the tympanic membrane and consequently the organ of Corti of the hearer and set it in oscillation at the same frequency. Resonance occurs. The hearing of Man or an animal is a typical example of a resonator. It is only tuned to a particular frequency and can only receive sounds which are within the tuned frequency range.
If two or more arbitrarily chosen oscillations are mixed, we speak of superimpositions (Fig 4). An example of this, again from music, is the playing of two notes on a piano. The two notes may be superimposed on each other, depending on the keys selected, and cause a harmonious or disharmonious sound.
Fig 4 - Waves may be superimposed on each other if they have some direction and the same polarization. They can thus be amplified at phase equality or they form a completely new oscillation pattern or form of appearance, or else they cancel each other out
Expressed in physical terms, a superimposition is the working together of several arbitrary waves or oscillations of the same type. The resultant superimposition wave is the sum of the amplitudes of the superimposed individual waves. If two superimposed waves at equal amplitudes are phase-shifted by 180°, they cancel each other out according to this law (Fig 5).
Fig 5: Cancelling-out of an oscillation. Two waves at the same frequency, the same amplitude and the same polarity can cancel each other out if the phase difference is 180o. This is a special case of interference which is significant for the effectiveness of BRT. The interfering and harmful substance frequencies in the organism are extinguished. Drugs in principle should have the same effect
There is something else in addition: in a piano we link together or combine in a group of strings in unison for the individual notes two or three strings which must be attuned to each other. However, if these are slightly out of tune with one another, i.e. if they only have slightly different frequencies, an audible fluctuating sound as is found in out of tune pianos is heard. This is known as a beat frequency. The intensity of the beat frequency becomes lower, the more precisely the strings of a group of strings in unison are tuned to the same frequency (Fig 6).
Fig 6: Beat frequencies. If two waves of slightly differing frequency are superimposed (S1, S2), a superimposition wave (S3) arises when shows fluctuation in amplitude (S4). This amplitude fluctuation is also referred to as a beat frequency, and can be picked up as a signal
A mechanical analogue of this is two linked pendulums, connected by a tension spring or rubber thread. If one of the pendulums is struck in the direction of the rubber thread, it firstly oscillates alone but then gradually takes the second pendulum with it and consequently loses energy. After some time only the second pendulum oscillates and the first one which was originally struck comes to rest. The process is then reversed (Fig 7).
Fig 7: Coupled resonators: Movements of elementary particles in the molecules and atoms of the organism are coupled and mutually influence one another. They are resonators and have particular characteristic frequencies.
If the two pendulums are precisely tuned to the same frequency, any beat frequency will be infinitely small, i.e. both pendulums constantly oscillate in phase after a brief start-up period. The greater the detuning, the higher the beat frequency will be.
Oscillations as just described also take place in the elementary particles (Fig 8). The electron shells are in constant motion in the Hz and kHz range at normal temperature. There is also a transition of an electron through external energy supply to a higher energy level and return to the normal level with the emission of a quantum of light or photon. According to the movement of the electron shells through which the electron jumps, the frequency and amplitude of the emitted photons are not constant, but frequency- and amplitude modulated.
Fig 8: The interactive process which was illustrated by the simple example of a pendulum takes place in a highly complex form in the atoms and molecules.
The oscillation in the light frequency range are therefore both slightly frequency-modulated and slightly amplitude-modulated. Light has frequencies not just in the vicinity of 1015 Hz, but also in lower frequency ranges. For every colour in the spectrum (monochromatic light frequency) there is a particular low frequency spectrum.
Oscillations in a Water Molecule
There are various possible ways in which a simple water molecule can oscillate (Fig 9). Although water is cross-linked into what are known as clusters with several hundred individual molecules at room or body temperature, this simple model will suffice for our illustration. The following oscillation properties of the molecule can be identified:
Fig. 9: Oscillation spectrum of a molecule. The figure shows a stylised model of H2O2. This simple example already shows a very complex oscillation picture. All the possible oscillations, which in a larger molecule are far more complex, are drawn in.
1. nuclear oscillation in the microwave range,
2. oscillation of the electron shells in the low frequency range,
3. oscillations of the atoms in the molecule in the infrared range,
4. rotational oscillation of the molecules against one another in the microwave range and
5. the light frequency due to the jump of the electron.
As a result of the non-linear linking, all these individual oscillations are coupled into a complex system, like the sound of a complete orchestra in acoustics.
The higher the temperature of a metal, the wilder the movements of molecules and free electrons, for which reason we also speak of thermal noise. It is only at the absolute zero point at -273.15°C that the particles come to rest and the noise disappears apart from a zero point energy.
The signal-to-noise ratio is generally so poor that the signal completely disappears in the noise, i.e. the maximum amplitudes of the signal are lower than the amplitudes of the noise frequencies.
A multi-signal according to Fig 10 contains in the thermal noise a large number of high and low frequencies which must be made visible. This is done by replicating all the frequencies of the transmitted spectrum with a computer, recalculating and repeatedly calculating the mean value from all the repetitions. Since the signal always has the same values but the thermal noise changes, the noise averages itself out increasingly with sufficient repetitions, and the signal is lifted clear of the remaining residual noise. This procedure is termed Fourier analysis, after the French physicist and mathematician J.B. Baron de Fourier (1768-1830). However, this procedure requires a great deal of time.
Fig. 13: Variation in a molecular oscillation picture with time: it has not yet proved possible to display the oscillation spectrum of a molecule over time on a screen. An attempt is made in this figure to illustrate such signals schematically. Since it is in the ultrafine energy range, it disappears in the thermal noise and is therefore difficult to identify. However, organisms are able to perceive such signals.
A homoeopathic similium or any medicine with a particular spectrum must fit the resonators of a patient's organism.
We can thus see that the smallest constituents of the organism provide a vast quantity of information which is very useful if one knows how to read it correctly.
Resonator quality and superconduction of cells
The "technical" capabilities which a living organism possesses have time after time astonished biologists. Many animals have perception capability here which for a long time we were unable to explain. As Popp pointed out in his contribution, a rattlesnake for example can register a temperature difference of 0.01 degrees, and a whale "recognises" field strengths of 10-8 Volts/cm. There are thousands of other examples if we think of the sense of orientation of insects or migratory birds.
However, it has been discovered that the organism is capable of reading ultrafine signals out at noise level. It uses the following procedure to do this:
1. The endogenous resonators have a high quality, and this signifies low attenuation. The term attenuation is used to mean a reduction in amplitude (strength) of an oscillation or wave caused by energy loss. Energy loss normally takes place through the transition from one form of energy into another form of energy. This means that the endogenous resonators with low attenuation do not weaken or attenuate a received signal or only do so insignificantly and pass on the information received without a loss of energy.
The following should also be said concerning the resonator quality of an organism: it follows from medicine testing that the organism reacts to ultrafine signals in fractions of a second. If the correct ampoule is placed in the honeycomb, balancing of the measured acupuncture point takes place immediately. The resonators in the organism are essentially the cell membranes. It follows from this that the operated resonators in the organism have a very short tune-in-time, which is less than one second.
However, this would mean that although the resonators in the body have a very short tune-in-time, they have low resonator quality. The organism helps itself to increase the resonator quality by arranging several resonators at the same frequency connected in parallel. There are many cells with the same structure in the organism. This results in a short settling time, i.e. rapid response and reaction with a simultaneous increase in resonator quality.
2. The body uses a multi-channel system for passing on signals. It conducts signals via the nerve path, the meridians and the protein chains of the tissue.
The nerve strands are normal conductors with untuned frequency lines. In the nerve strands there are several fibres connected in parallel into a bundle. Parallel connection of this kind allows for faster analysis and passing-on of multi-signals than is possible by a method analogous to the Fourier analysis described earlier.
The parallel-connected channels of the nerves are not channels which receive and pass on fundamental waves and harmonics but, measurements have shown, channels with widely differing characteristic frequencies which mutually support each other in signal recognition. This is termed pattern recognition.
3. In our bodies there are very probably superconductive chains of molecules which presumably also contain the acupuncture meridians. The noise disappears completely in superconduction. In radioastronomy superconduction is achieved by cooling the detectors in a very costly way with liquid helium.
As already described in the previous section, molecules at normal temperature perform a bizarre zig-zag movement which is increased further as temperature rises. The free electrons in semiconductors move in a similar way, which is further increased as temperature rises. This chaotic movement disturbs the transmission of signals in technology and can be eliminated by cooling the conductors in the direction of the absolute zero point (at high technical cost). The organism is capable of achieving this superconduction.
Superconductivity of Crystals
In 1911 H. Kamerlingh-Onnes discovered superconductivity and received the Nobel Prize for doing so. In 1987 J.G. Bednar and K.A. Muller were awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the superconductivity of crystals at relatively high temperatures. We have now come very close to the superconductivity at body temperatures predicted by H. Frohlich (Liverpool), with non-metallic crystals.
We thus come to the phenomenon of solitons, also known as solitary wave packets. These are waves which move like particles along a conductor. It should be pointed out that this is a highly complex system of conduction whose structure has not yet been researched down to the smallest detail, but many statements can now be made about how it works.
A vivid example of solitary waves was observed by the Englishman John Scott-Russel in a still hydrodynamic tank. When a ship is suddenly stopped, the wave crest ahead of the ship progresses for miles without losing its shape.
In our organism such waves occur along the protein chains. In Fig. 14 two protein chains which are linked by what are known as forces of coherence are represented in highly simplified forms. Forces of coherence are the molecular forces which cause the substance to be held together. They only act at very short distance and are naturally weaker in liquids than in solids. These forces of coherence are of great importance for our analysis. If a solid object is crushed, it can no longer be combined by simply pushing together. The distance of the fracture point is already too large and too coarse. In the case of a liquid, however, the situation is different, as it is with protein. These substances can be readily separated but can be combined again without any join.
Fig. 14: Two protein chains linked by what are known as forces of coherence
The protein chain systems along which the solitons move are comparable to the Lecher lines known from electrical engineering, named after the Austrian physicist E. Lecher (1856-1926). They consist of two wires run parallel which are connected in such a way that a high frequency voltage wave arises along the system and between the wires. The wires have a natural frequency defined through their length.
We have a similar system in the protein chains. If an external signal is allowed to act on the chain conductor, whose frequency coincides with the natural resonance of the chain, a resonance is produced and the chain passes the signal on. The relatively weak forces of coherence in the protein chains can be overcome by external forces. If the signal has too great a field strength, the coherence joints in the protein chain are interrupted at one or more places, and a block arises in the transporting properties of the chain conductor. The protein chains join together readily, but the signal is firstly blocked. The chain conductor can thus only pass on a resonance signal if it is small enough so that it can resonate with the signal and is not broken up.
This precise range of coincidence of signal intensity and forces of coherence in the chain conductors is known as the Adey window. R. Adey in California discovered in experiments on the brain cells of chicks that they not only respond selectively to a quite specific frequency (approx. 10 Hz), but also only do so at a quite specific, very weak intensity.
The possibility can be recognised here that weak signals are received and passed on with a positive effect by such a system whilst signals that are too strong are not, since they block themselves. The claim that "if strong signals are not effective, weak ones certainly cannot" proves to be incorrect for the systems considered here.
Electrically charged particles must be present in the conductors for it to be possible for electromagnetic waves to be passed on at all. In the case of the tissue paths it is the electron pairs, known as Cooper pairs. In such a complex system of lines in the organism, signals are able to move along super-lines as particles, like the solitons described above.
The action potentials in our nervous system between two Ranvier nodes for example are also solitons. The Ranvier's nodes are cell membranes which connect two conductor segments of a nerve, the information being supplied through chemical transmitter substances. An action potential arises when an increase in the permeability of the semipermeable cell membrane occurs due to an external sudden and short-term change of tension.
In the case of superconduction in the protein chains, electron pairs (Cooper pairs) play a role with two electrons oscillating against each other in a potential trough. The solitons described earlier behave as scalar waves along the protein chains. Scalar waves are electro-acoustic waves. Since the electrons oscillate against each other, they behave as sound waves with compression processes.
Electrons have opposite spins in such a system, and as a result the electromagnetic fields cancel each other out. They also have a number of other remarkable properties which will not be examined in detail here. However, they make it possible for signals to be passed on without interference frequencies, without thermal noise, i.e. superconduction. If a signal strikes a protein chain and does not break up the forces of coherence, it is passed on with the aid of these electrons (the information occurs as phase modulation).
Signal transport in our organism thus takes place both in the nervous system and in the protein chains in the tissue through solitons, the frequency of which may lie in the range of light, as shown by the research of Popp. Solitons propagate more slowly than sound in tissue, so that they can be distinguished from sound conduction by measurements. Velocity of nerve conduction measurements have long been familiar for blocked nerves in medicine.
A block can be created in various ways: through external electromagnetic fields, through deposits of harmful substances in the tissue or through scars etc.
As already mentioned, Man cannot be understood only in substantial terms, and such physical phenomena as we have discussed here, photons, solitons, phonons etc. must also be included. Such well-known researchers as the Nobel Prize winner I.Prigogin, the late H. Frohlich, and also S.A. Davidov, E. del Guidice etc. have all done work in this area.
Water as an information store
The coupling of protein chains has a simple analogue in the coupling of water molecules. The water molecule, and similarly also alcohol, is a polar molecule - it has positive and negative charges separated by a dipole length. From a great distance it appears to be neutral. In the same way that a magnet has a north and south pole, so the water molecule has a positive and negative pole and is therefore an electric dipole. Water molecules therefore mutually attract one another. The magnetic dipoles in iron can be arranged differently and therefore store information, as in the case of magnetic tape or magnetic disks for computers. This is analogous to the case with water (Fig 15).
Fig, 15: Cluster structure of water: because of its dipole structure, water has the properties of storing information. The diversity with which water molecules can combine into clusters is illustrated here in two simple examples of five polar molecules each. The dipole structure of the water allows information to be stored as in the case of magnetic tapes or magnetic disks.
As already mentioned, individual water molecules are linked together by hydrogen bonds and thus form what are known as clusters (unordered quantities). At body temperature, there are around 300-400 water molecules to one cluster (H20)n (n = 300-400) and are cross-linked. Different patterns which contain information result within a cluster depending its structure. It has already been pointed out that each molecule has its own oscillation pattern depending on its structure. This can be proven spectroscopically.
Homeopathic Potencies and Energy
Homeopathic substances cannot be explained on the basis of pure substance-related thinking, and a homoeopathic high potency accordingly ought to contain nothing more than water and alcohol. And this is not the case. A homoeopathic preparation of the form of a dilution consists of water + photons + phonons etc. In addition to the mass there is an incalculable quantity of information. In homoeopathic therapy the preparation, at homoeopathic high potencies - only the information of the preparation, resonates with the resonators of the body.
Research shows that the resonance conditions in potency series change periodically. From this potency this remedy acts conversely like the original tincture, as Hahnemann discovered. The phase of the electromagnetic oscillations of the high potencies evidently changes over in relation to the phase of the low potencies or the original tincture. The precise process is not yet known.
Between 1923 and 1926, L. Kolisko, a doctor's wife in England, published work with homoeopathic potencies from D1 to D60, potentiating lead nitrate and pouring this onto wheat seed during germination. The work was repeated in 1965 by the mathematician G. Unger and W. Pelikan on 12,000 wheat germs with high statistical significance and reproducibility. This means that the periodicity is also detectable in the potentiation of plant growth promotors. The conclusions to be drawn from this are clear. Homoeopathic high potencies are still effective when there is no longer any molecule of the original tincture or of the substance to be tested in the solvent. This even applies to crop fertilisers.
J. Benveniste et al. in a recent paper have studied the effect of potentiated anti-immunoglobulin E-antisera of goats on human basophilic leucocytes. At low dilution, i.e. still within the range of biochemistry, the leucocytes release histamine and lose their stainability. Both of these can be readily measured. Benveniste is a biologist at the University of Paris South. He was astonished to observe that the same reactions also occurred at high potencies. New pipettes and vessels were used at each dilution stage and any remaining residues of IgE, which has a molecular weight of 500,000, were filtered off with membrane filters, so that only water was left. The effect was nevertheless still present.
The whole thing no longer works with non-polar solvents such as dimethyl sulphoxide, but it does work with alcohol, which like water has a dipolar molecular structure. The respected and highly critical journal "Nature" only published the paper after the experiment had been checked by five other laboratories at three other universities (Jerusalem, Milan and Toronto), always with the same results. Bio chemists face a puzzle here, but not biophysicists. A month after the publication of this paper (in June 1988) the work of J. Benveniste was attacked. The environmental influences were not considered.
Further confirmation of the periodical behaviour of potencies comes from 0. Weingdrtner.
As we have shown, Nature embraces far more than is presently understood by natural science. The notion of biochemistry in medical therapy that only material substances, i.e. weighable quantities with a rest mass, can have an effect on the human organism, proved to be incorrect. Unweighable or apparently non-existing entities such as are present in homoeopathic high potencies are put in the range of the placebo effect. In doing this, biochemistry did not realise that a placebo effect itself is an effect without a weighable active quantity. Nor did it think about how a placebo effect can occur in the first place.
The boundary between weighable quantity and unweighable entities is determined by the Loschmidt number or the Avogadro constant, which states that in a mole of any substance there are 6.0221 x 1023 molecules. This is 0.60221 quadrillion molecules. And a mole is the quantity of a substance in grams which corresponds to its molecular weight.
The molecular weight in turn is the sum of the atomic weights. To take a simple example, water has the formula H20, oxygen has the atomic weight 16 and hydrogen has the atomic weight 1. Water thus has a molecular weight of 2 x 1 + 16 = 18. Since water has a specific gravity of 1, 18 grams of water is equal to 18 ml; 18 grams of water or 18 ml water accordingly has 6.0221 x 1023 molecules of water, and that is one mole.
In a homoeopathic potency series, Dl (1:10), D2 (1:100), D3 (1:1000), D4 (1:10,000) etc., we leave biochemistry above D23 (1:1023). This is a dilution in which the dilution process was per-formed 23 times and more, each time at a ratio of 1:10. If new pipettes and glasses are always used, at a D30 it is certain that there is no longer any molecule of the original substance contained in the mixture.
According to the ideas of chemistry, above D23 the patient only receives a water-alcohol mixture or a saline solution. This view does not take account of the fact that as well as weighable matter with a rest mass there are also particles without a rest mass. These include quanta of the electromagnetic waves (photons), quanta of the weak interactions (bosons) and of sound (phonons), which are of such exceptional significance in BRT. Sound for example cannot be weighed, but no-one disputes that ultrasound has an effect on the body or that music can alter a person's mood.
What matters first and foremost is not how high the sound level is, but to what extent the conveyed information or the signal resonates or coincides with the resonator.
Ultrafine biocybernetics
Much of what we are accustomed to is incorrect but is retained for the sake of convenience. Heim's Unified Quantum Theory, which was explained at the beginning of this lesson, disproves one of the most fundamental errors, "Nature does not make any jumps" ("Nature non facit saltus"), which science long held onto. Equally false is the theorem of "excluded third parties" ("tertium non datur"), revealed as incorrect by multivalent logic.
Another error widespread throughout the world is that we look at most processes linearly. Temperature, which is known to us from Celsius (C) and Kelvin (K), for example, is not a linear but a logarithmic scale. The absolute zero point of -273.15°C or 0°K is at minus infinity, the high temperatures in stars are not millions of degrees but just a few thousand on the Hegelmann scale. Biological events likewise do not proceed in a linear manner but logarithmically, for example, growth or convalescence.
Many processes and phenomena are still looked at linearly in scientific and philosophical terms. This linear approach will have to be replaced in the future by cross-linked thinking (Fig 16).
Fig. 16: Cross-linked thinking: thinking in linear systems has become outdated. To understand complex relationships we need a way of thinking which takes account of cross-linked systems. There are no completely isoloted processes
Both the Cosmos and our organism consist of an unimaginably large number of control circuits. The significance of regulation and information was recognised by the two mathematicians N. Wiener and C.E. Shannon. They founded cybernetics, the science of control, regulation and information processing in machines and organisms. Science and technology today can no longer be imagined without the principle of cybernetics, and many problems can only be solved with the aid of cybernetics.
The logical consequence is that this principle should also be utilised for a modern, future-oriented form of therapy. In the modern age, where Man is in the process of disturbing the natural balance in the micro- and macrocosm through rapid technological change, we need to quickly change our ways of thinking and completely alter our course. The patterns of thinking adopted to date will not take us any further.
The complexity of the organism, the multilayered nature of biological processes, the immense number of cells in the organism and a growing number of unknown disturbance factors formally compel us to remove medicine and other natural sciences from previous modes of thought.
The organism is in all respects a cybernetic system. But not just the heat balance of the body - all biological processes are organised according to the dynamic principle of cybernetics. The individual constituents are in a functional relationship with each other, the whole organism and the environment. Changes from outside the system are registered and passed on to particular elements as information. Control mechanisms are started up to compensate for influences from outside and maintain a state of equilibrium or a specified required state.
Information or messages which reach the organism are, as we have already heard, the Schumann waves, the electron plasma waves, daylight, water and foods, a large number of chemicals and toxins and not least acoustic impressions and experiences. The reception of this information is relayed via nerves and protein chains of the tissue, and they trigger a chain of reactions.
The organism is thus controlled or disturbed by a wide variety of factors from outside. They act on an energy flow and thus change or, maintain the states of equilibrium in the organism. This happens without feedback outwards.
However, the organism also has self-control mechanisms which depend on external control forces. There are two types of these, fixed setpoint control and follow-up control. The maintenance of a constant body temperature could be mentioned as an example of fixed setpoint control. Disturbance from outside is intercepted by appropriate action. The body keeps the temperature constant from within.
Follow-up control is an adaptation to a new state of equilibrium. This means that the control circuit does not return to the original state but adapts to the external conditions, an example of this being the adjustment of the pupil to increasing intensity of light by narrowing.
As we have seen, a four-dimensional approach cannot represent the biological processes in the ultrafine energy range. With every change in a physical variable in four-dimensional space there is also simultaneously a change in the organisational structural range (X5) and in the realisation range (X6). In addition, the material plane, the biological and the spiritual are linked to one another.
The bandpass - a therapy window
The biophysicist Prof. Cyril W. Smith (Salford University, England) has been conducting some extremely interesting research work for more than twelve years. This research has been partly carried out in cooperation with Prof. H. Frohlich (Liverpool) and in regular consultation with Dr J. Monro and Dr R. Choy (London). This work was prompted by the Nobel Prize winner Prof. I. Prigogine and H. Frohlich.
Both assume that the human organism reacts even to very weak, ultrafine signals if they are in quite specific frequency ranges. Cr. Smith discovered that the response sensitivities of different patients differ markedly. The most sensitive proved to be allergy patients, particularly patients with food allergies (allergic to milk, wheat etc.). In hospitals in London he gradually found 150 allergic patients who were available as experimental subjects. These patients were generally multi-allergic, i.e. they reacted to various substances with individual reactions.
In the mildest cases these were feelings of numbness in the hands, muscle twitching, dizziness with widening of the pupils, and in the most severe cases the patients suffered muscle cramps or became unconscious.
However, not just the allergens but also their homoeopathic potency series and particular electromagnetic signals from a sinewave oscillator showed effects. The reactions of the patients to various potencies of their allergens and to different frequencies of the sine-wave oscillator were studied. The degree to which the patients' reactions were dependent on the potency and frequency was very remarkable.
1. If the potency was increased step by step, starting with the original tincture of the allergen with the strongest effect, neutralising and negative effects occurred alternately, the neutralising effects again cancelling out the unfavourable effects.
2. The same results were obtained with electromagnetic waves. When the signal frequency of the oscillator is slowly increased, starting from fractions of a Hertz, a quite similar relationship occurs. The only difference is that a frequency occurs here instead of the potency.
3. If a broad frequency band acts simultaneously on the patient, there is no reaction, because frequencies acting in the opposite direction cancel each other out.
4. A matching neutralising (harmonic) signal acts immediately, in fractions of a second. The tolerance is at around + /- 0.5 % in frequency accuracy.
5. The unfavourably acting disharmonious frequency requires a considerable longer time to take effect, around fifteen seconds or more.
The work proceeded in three stages:
Firstly the allergen or allergens was or were established and homoeopathic potencies of these where prepared. Dilution was not at a ratio of 1:10 as usual, but at 1:5.
In the first stage of the work the allergic patient was confronted with the dynamised series in a rising potency series, it only being necessary to place one drop of the preparation on the back of the hand in many cases.
A start was made with the original tincture, with which each patient showed characteristic reactions which in some particularly sensitive patients consisted in muscle twitching to the extent of convulsions or even fainting. In mild cases only widening of the pupils, feeling unwell, changes of pulse etc. occurred.
If increasingly higher potencies are then given at short intervals one after the other, an improvement in condition is found, at a particular potency the patient feels well again. In each case the previously given potency was wiped off the back of the hand and the skin was cleaned. In the case of fainting, the patient returned to consciousness at the "neutralising potency". On further provocation the patient's condition worsened again, until a second neutralising condition was found again etc., i.e. the patient periodically responds negatively and positively to the rising potency series.
The neutralising potencies differ from patient to patient, and also from day to day, particularly as therapy progresses.
These experiments also work at high potencies with dilutions above the Loschmidt number. The observed periodic effect was found as long ago as 1923 by L. Kolisko and in 1988 by J. Benveniste et al.
According to these experiments, which were statistically verified in a subsequent double-blind test in Dallas, Smith went on to the second stage:
Instead of the homoeopathic allergens he allowed electromagnetic signals from a sine-wave generator to act on the patient via an antenna and changed the frequency from the millihertz range to the Gigahertz range (a few 109 Hz).
Interestingly, periodic behaviour was noted here too, and he found numerous neutralising frequencies. The two - homoeopathic allergens and sine-wave signals - were interchangeable:
A patient put into a negative reaction position with homoeopathic allergens or the original tincture could be "neutralised" against with particular frequencies and vice-versa. It took a great deal of time to find the neutralising frequencies, because large frequency ranges had to be swept slowly.
The homoeopathic substances behaved like particular sine-wave frequency signals and vice-versa. The frequencies differed not only from patient to patient, but also on different days. The unfavourably acting frequencies only began to show their effect after acting for a few seconds to minutes. The body is evidently still able to counter-regulate before this time.
The third stage in this research work was even more surprising:
If a glass of drinking water or physiological saline solution was placed in front of the antenna of a sine-wave generator for a quarter of an hour and a drop of the water treated in this way was placed on the tongue or the back of the hand, which had previously been put in a negative reaction position, the same neutralisation could be achieved as with the matching potency of the allergen or the frequency directed radiated in by the sine-wave generator.
The water had therefore absorbed the information from the sinewave generator and retained it for several days. These were the ultrafine signals such as exist in the organism and play such a decisive role in bioresonance therapy. Boiling destroyed the effect both with this water and also with the high potencies. Freezing, on the other hand, did not cause any damage. Some particularly sensitive patients even reacted to the frozen preparation if it was simply placed close to them; the maximum distance was 50 cm. This was confirmed in a double-blind test.
This was followed by a further series of experiments: in the experiments with patients who already reacted to preparations which were simply placed close to them but without touching them, copper wire nets with various mesh widths were positioned between the patient and the preparation. The patient only reacted in these experiments if the mesh width was sufficiently large. Since wire nets of this kind only allow waves with lengths smaller than the mesh width to pass through, it was possible to ascertain that the relevant wavelengths are of the order of 1 mm to 1 cm. Wave lengths longer than twice the mesh width were reflected.
According to H. Frohlich, coherent waves can occur in organisms in this frequency range. Amplitude modulations of these shorter carrier waves are presumably relevant at the lower effective frequencies.
The work in England which is merely summarised here substantiates in a statistically significant manner the following facts which have long been put forward by the Brugemann Institute:
a) Electromagnetic phenomena are of fundamental importance to the organisation, structure and function of living systems, in the state of health and in the event of illness.
b) Water, physiological saline solution and - as later became apparent - alcohol too, can store electromagnetic information.
c) Organisms (body water and cells) also store information and constantly release it to the surroundings at room and body temperature. People also act electromagnetically on one another, e.g. a therapist on his patients.
d) Electromagnetic signals - including endogenous ones - can be utilised therapeutically.
e) Each patient must be treated individually. A controlled doubleblind test therefore cannot be a suitable method for proving the effectiveness of an individual therapy, since there are no two people who are completely comparable.
f) The ideal treatment is auto-ipso therapy, as represented by BRT with the patient's own frequencies.
It is occasionally claimed that the organism needs several seconds to react to a frequency. However, this is not the case, as medicine testing and the work of Smith et al. show. The disharmonious frequencies themselves require at least fifteen seconds and in healthy subjects up to two minutes to have a detectable effect.
For example, corresponding to a lead burden in the body there are several narrow-band resonators which are to be ascribed to the electron plasma cloud of the lead atom and are only slightly attenuated. If provocation is to be achieved with non-inverted disharmonious fre-quencies, e.g. oscillations of the lead, a relatively long time must be provided to cause an effect.
Harmonious resonators in the organism, on the other hand, are arranged in a broad-band manner as multiresonators, as already described. This has the advantage of rapid response, as is essential for communication within the organism.
The bandpass if required can also be set manually to a particular frequency, and a special circuit allows the bandpass to be wobbled around this frequency.
The concept of the frequency run opens up completely new avenues for application and research. For the first time in the history of medicine, a wider circle of therapists is able to ascertain the pathological frequencies of particular diseases. We shall soon be able to make statements on the frequency ranges in which particular diseases occur, such as cancer or AIDS.
