More work is needed to bring the technology into greater acceptance for both research studies and the clinic. This will permit the generation of new products for treating different body a) Method for measuring in real-time the frequency and the power of an electromagnetic field emitted by a human body for different body conditions: The method for measuring in real-time the frequency and the power of an EM field emitted by a human body for different body conditions was conducted using a real-time spectrum analyzer (model RSA 61 14A manufactured by Tektronix Inc, Beaverton, OR. Other analyses of the data can be made, depicted on subsequent screens in the software (not shown here), including the average body energy or overall qi, the upper and lower body energy ratio (hands vs. feet), the left and right side energy ratio, the internal (yin) and external (yang) energy ratio, and the autonomic nerve ratio. How do human brains detect false irregularities in faces? Such frameworks include algorithms of oriental medical systems such as the various acupuncture meridian systems and su jok, in which the hand is a homunculus of the whole body. The Body resonates a frequency when healthy between 62-72 Hz. A quantity of a substance weighing 10 grams was placed in a glass jar 2 cm in diameter and 5.5 cm high. A number of authors emphasize that the human body generates electromagnetic fields and mechanical vibrations with different frequencies. And to help you get your vibe even higher I created these just for you. Use of EDS is greater outside the United States, and much of the literature on it has been published in German, French, Japanese, and Chinese. Thermography can detect acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. * We can detox our bodies and consume less harmful 'food' (we are so addicted to). The results are the followings: Cream A appears to increase the energy of EM signal emitted by older people at 75.01 MHz. Treugut H et al: Reliabilitt der energetischen terminalpunktdiagnose (ETD) nach mandel bei kranken, Forsch Komplementrmed 5:224, 1998. 7. He showed that the index and middle fingers of a subject had the highest intensity (Usa et al, 1991). The entire set-up is placed into a Faraday cage to shield it from any external EM fields. The methods disclosed herein may ultimately lead to the development and manufacture of cosmetic/pharmaceutical products and/or electronic devices that emit electromagnetic fields adapted to treat different body conditions: skin rejuvenation, lines and wrinkles, scar and uneven coloration, dark circles, respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, tumorigenic, diabetic, mood, etc. This effort would involve measuring different frequency bands within the electromagnetic spectrum emanating from the body ( Figure 20-1 ). This material can then be directed to a condition treatable with a frequency of 75Mhz. The EEG was developed in 1875 and records electrical activity from the various brain regions by using multiple electrodes on the head. Y. Feldman et al., Phys. The peak intensity of the electromagnetic radiation of the human biofield is in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, in the range of 4 to 20 microns in wavelength. Studies on these biofield therapies in themselves may offer clues to certain key components of the human biofield that are associated with healing. Although these phenomena involve an integral and dynamic wholeness that challenge the power of molecular explanation, another biophysical view of life has been offered that may help explain them. Boyers D G, Tiller W A: Corona discharge photography, J Appl Physics 44:3102, 1973. In 1950, Reinhold Voll, a German physician, was studying the acupuncture meridian system. However, no consensus has been reached on the modus operandi for such an effect. Thus, not surprisingly, several issues remain to be resolved. Chiang Lee H, Wah Khong P, Ghista D: Bioenergy based medical diagnostic application based on gas discharge visualization, Conf Proc IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc 2:1533, 2005. To check your pulse, you will need to place two fingers on the side of your neck or wrist and count the number of beats for 15 seconds. Electrical currents, along with their associated magnetic fields, can be found in the body (Becker and Selden, 1985). Is there anything that can measure the overall frequency of the human body? The measurements will be particularly useful to identify skin and body deficiencies. Subscribe to our monthly free email newsletter, 2009-2022 Foundation for Alternative and Integrative Medicine | Contact us, Foundation for Alternative and Integrative Medicine, http://lach.web.arizona.edu/CFMBS_Report.pdf. Three types of systems are presently used to measure biophotons: (1) photomultiplier tubes, cooled down to minimize their noise, which register photon counts over time; (2) a spectral analysis system, using a set of cut-off optical filters to determine the wavelength characteristics of the emitted light; (3) and a two-dimensional system of sensitive photon-counting devices, including arrays of cooled photomultipliers and CCDs that produce biophoton images (Van Wijk and Van Wijk, 2005). Galvanic skin response (GSR) measures the electrical conductance between two electrodes placed on the skin. Local effects include local skin conductivity and perspiration. Popp F A: Evolution as the expansion of coherent states . * We can eat healthy food. It is an object of the invention to provide methods of measuring and characterizing the frequencies, phase and intensity (or amplitude) of the electromagnetic field emitted by a human body for different body conditions: skin rejuvenation, lines and wrinkles, scar and uneven coloration, dark circles, respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, tumorigenic, diabetic, musculoskeletal, mood, tinnitus, etc. The biofield is also elusive. Therefore a lack of standardization appears to exist. Through a process called entrainment, physical objects absorb the vibrational frequencies of their immediate surroundings. The gauss meters available from ARPANSA measure magnetic fields from electrical sources that operate in the frequencies between 25 Hz (40 Hz for the EMDEX Snap) to 1000 Hz in units of mG. They also found that subjects self-reported sense of the internal flow of qi correlated with DC potential readings but only for specific measurements made on acupuncture points. In summary, all EDS machines measure the bodys electrical conductivity. A method for measuring in real-time the frequency and the power of an electromagnetic ("EM") field emitted by a human body for different body conditions, the resonance phenomenon between the EM fields emitted by various products or electronic devices and the EM field emitted by a human body, and the signals emitted by active materials, waters, topical products, etc. Van Wijk E P A et al: Anatomic characterization of human ultraweak photon emission in practitioners of transcendental meditation and control subjects, J Altern Complement Med 12( 1 ):31, 2006. Edwards R et al: Measurements of human bioluminescence, acupuncture, and electrotherapeutics, Res Int J 15:85, 1990. 09818233, Country of ref document: 1) Measurement of EM waves broadcast to the skin from electronic devices: Three types of recordings previously shown by Dr. Dan Levitin, McGiII University, Montreal, Department of Psychology to produce happy, peaceful and scary moods were exposed to test subjects. Alternatively, the method comprises the steps of measuring in real-time the frequency and the power of an EM field emitted by the condition, selecting a cosmetic product, a pharmaceutical product or an electronic device that emits EM fields in a frequency, phase and amplitude suitable for treating the condition; and placing the cosmetic product, the pharmaceutical product or the electronic device on or sufficiently proximal to the condition, such that the EM fields emitted This risk has been demonstrated by the tourniquet experiment mentioned previously, which showed the importance of blood flow to biophoton emission. A main obstacle to the acceptance of EDS is an attitude on the part of the conventional medical community that has historical origins. One main observation is that the density parameter increased (p<.01) after qigong, which means that a more uniform circle of light was emitted from the subjects fingertips after qigong. One main aim of Popps continuing human studies is to identify specific regions of the body, the emission characteristics of which might differentiate states of health and disease in an integral way (Cohen and Popp, 1997, 2003). If, for example, two fundamental frequency sources consisting of a 25Mhz source and a 50Mhz source interact, one resultant interaction frequency would be 75MHz. Hawaii, November 29-December 3, 2001. On the one hand, an organism is similar to a crystalline structure of ordered biomolecules. Indicator drop. The power spectrum of the human body emission. by using topical cosmetics or pharmaceuticals or devices that emit selected electromagnetic frequency signals that match or interfere with the electromagnetic signals or their frequencies emitted by the body (see, for example, Table 8, the data for 5% ascorbic acid). Yu T, Tsai HL, Huang M L: Suppressing tumor progression of in vitro prostate cancer cells by emitted psychosomatic power through Zen meditation, Am J Chin Med 31:499, 2003. Brain researchers used to study the workings of the brain only in special laboratories at universities or hospitals. These are, in the more literal sense of the term, bioassays, which may help elucidate the key life-stimulating components of the human biofield and the action of these components at the cellular and biochemical levels. Figure 20-13. Jhaveri A, McCarthy MB, Gronowicz G A: Therapeutic touch affects proliferation and bone formation in vitro, J Altern Complement Med 10( 4 ):723, 2004. In CAM, which uses many individualized, as well as multiple, therapies to treat conditions and diseases, the ideographic approach may, in fact, be the only meaningful method. Read the frequency measurement in the display. In Krippner S, Rubin D, editors: The energies of consciousness, New York City, 1975, Gordon and Breach . The methods will facilitate development of treatments to mitigate/remediate skin/body deficiencies through application of topical cosmetics or pharmaceutical products or by the use of a device (digitalized cosmetics) that emits specially selected electromagnetic signals/frequencies or their harmonics to match or interfere with the electromagnetic frequencies and their harmonics emitted by the afflicted parts of the body. In a separate study that attempted to develop a literal bioassay for biofield therapy (using organisms as the measuring instrument), Reiki treatments on the growth of bacterial cultures (Escherichia coli K12) that had been damaged by heat shock treatment were analyzed along with a determination of the influence of healing context and practitioner well being on such effects. I have a passion for learning and enjoy explaining complex concepts in a simple way. Alternatively, existing products, raw materials or compounds can be combined to create a source that emits an EM field precisely suited to treat a particular condition. Instead, we will focus on other ways of assessing other components of the human biofield, in particular, such as the energetic systems that may be associated with a subtle life energy or vital force important in self-healing, such as the acupuncture meridian system and the system of the chakras. In over 300 tests, EDS matched the history 74% of the time and was most compatible with the food challenge test, which is considered to be the most sensitive of all tests for food allergy (Tsuei et al, 1984). Figure 20-5. In this view, the essence of life is seen as a metaphysical, irreducible life force that cannot be measured. Your heart rate. If you have two tuning forks and you knock one of them to get it vibrating, you only have to hold it near the other tuning fork for it to start vibrating, too. They are also altered . Nonetheless, considerable similarities exist between ancient concepts of the life force and modern biofield concepts in their assumption that a form of life-giving energy flows throughout the body and that illness arises as a result of blockages, excesses, or irregularities in its flow. Van Wijk E P A, Ackerman J, Van Wijk R: Effect of meditation on ultraweak photon emission from hands and forehead, Forsch Komplementarmed Klass Naturheilkd 12:107, 2005. Finger emission sector analysis used in GDV software. A product is applied to the condition, and a second measurement of the EM field is taken. In general, the higher your heart rate during physical activity, the higher the exercise intensity. Additionally, some of the more recently developed medical scans, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography, can also be used as indirect indicators of electromagnetic activity. There is also a need for using the information obtained from such measurements to treat different body conditions, such as, for example, skin rejuvenation, lines and wrinkles, scar and uneven coloration, dark circles, respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, tumorigenic, diabetic, musculoskeletal, mood, tinnitus, etc., based on the resonance phenomenon between the frequencies emitted by the products and the human body frequencies for different body conditions. The Western style EDS devices are tools that can access aspects of the bodys biofield control system and communicate with it to obtain answers about the patients sensitivity to and need for nutritionals, remedies, and environmental substances. These coils, respectively, were placed in direct contact with the skin to receive or 'pick-up' the EM signals emitted by the human body. A third limitation is that the glass plate of the camera will not permit any ultraviolet light in the emission to be detected, given that glass blocks ultraviolet radiation. Practicing meditation regularly can help you become more aware of your bodys energy and better understand your body frequency. Two hundred persons were measured. Thermography is also used before and after therapy to visualize its influence, as for example in the case of infrared photonic treatment to look for improvements in the symmetry of the emission patterns after treatment. Each antenna was insulated with PVC. We cannot isolate it or analyze it comprehensively. The probe, which is attached to the device via electrical cables, is a 1-cm round, hollow metal, spring-loaded device with a plastic handle. The measurement of all the points takes approximately 5 minutes. And to the degree you have access to higher states of being. Presented at the Biofield Meeting, National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, M d, March 2006 . A body of literature has been published on the effects of external qi transmitted by qigong therapy practitioners on living systems in vitro, including effects on cell cultures and biomolecules. Other researchers have proposed the utility of the GDV technique as a holistic medical screening method (Chiang, Wah Khong, and Ghista, 2005). More basic research in this area, plus further studies that would extend the validation of the EDS, is recommended. Russo M et al: Quantitative analysis of reproducible changes in highvoltage electrophotography, J Altern Complement Med 7( 6 ):617, 2001. Called by many names, including prana in Ayurvedic medicine and qi in Chinese medicine, these indigenous terms go back thousands of years. The inventions are detailed in the following examples, which are illustrative and not meant to be all-inclusive. Other researchers have used similar high-voltage electrophotographic techniques (not the GDV camera, however) to investigate the reproducibility of assessments of biofield practitioners compared with controls with significant results (Russo et al, 2001). However, no agreement has been reached in the scientific community on the definition of the biofield. It uses very low levels of x-rays to measure how dense your bones are. However, the magnetic fields of the body are very low level and typically require specialized equipment such as super-conducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) that are expensive to operate. To increase the selectivity and gain, two quarter-wave wire wound antennas were built for these particular EM frequencies: a first at 3.3 meters/4=0.825M length, with 5 windings for the 91 MHz antennae; and a second at 4.0 meters/4=1.0 meters length, with 4 windings for the 75.01 MHz antennae. It is important to measure your body frequency because it can reflect your overall physical health, mental well-being, and spiritual balance. The human body has vibrational frequency down to the cellular level. A small but growing body of scientific evidence has been uncovered that biofield therapies show positive physical changes on living systems. The possibility also exists that the biofield will shift because of transient thoughts or feelings of the patient. The Kirlian technique was used clinically in Germany for decades, and the Vega-Grieshaber Company manufactured cameras to record the Kirlian emission of hands and feet. I am wondering if there are any new developments. Figure 20-1. Becker R O: A description of the integrated system of direct currents in the salamander, IRE Trans Biomed Electron 7:202, 1960. Findings suggest resonance effects occur in therapeutic partnerships between patient and practitioner (Caldwell-Bair, 2006). Beverly Rubik,Ph.D., is a leading scientist internationally renowned for her research exploring frontier areas of science and medicine.
