Variously called qi (chi), ki, the "four humors”, "prana”, "archaeus“, "cosmic aether“, "universal fluid“, "animal magnetism“, "odic force" and subtle energy. American Institute of Homeopathy Organized in 1844 American Medical Association Founded in 1847 Mark Twain (1835-1910) “The introduction of Homeopathy forced an old-school doctor to stir around and learn something of a rational nature of his business.” (1890) Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) “I have endeavored to show that there is no real service of humanity in the profession (of medicine) and that it is injurious to mankind.” From China to France Research done in Paris since the mid-1980’s concluded the existence of the acupuncture meridians, as a distinct system from the nervous, lymphatic or vascular systems. Jean Claude Darras, M.D. and Paul DeVernejoul, M.D., by injecting a radioactive tracer at acupuncture sites and photographing the movement, found the acupuncture meridians different from these other known systems. Burr, Nakatani and Rife 1900's - Evaluated electrical properties of various substances and concluded that each had it's own unique wave pattern or resonant frequency. Burr Pinpointed exact time of ovulation by measuring voltage of the cervix. Recorded voltage of trees for several years mapping the pattern of voltage changes with the seasons and disease. (1889-1973) Harold Saxton Burr E.K. Hunt Professor of Anatomy Yale University School of Medicine L-Fields Dr. Burr designed a voltmeter to measure energy fields surrounding every living system, which he labeled “L-Fields.” He theorized that L-Fields were pre-physical fields which organize the physical body as it continually goes through the processes of growth and metabolic change. Dr. Yoshio Nakatani Developed RYODORAKU Acupuncture. His meridian lines were called “Ryodoraku” (ryo = good, 'do is (electro) conductive, 'raku = line). Dr. Nakatani was the first person to measure the electrical activity of acupuncture points and the first to formulate diagnostic and treatment criteria from these measurements. Nakatani was the first recorded acupuncturist to use electrical stimulation of acupuncture points.

The FDA does not recognize any legitimate medical uses for such devices. 1951 - Jean Nivoyet - a Russian researcher Acupuncture points have lower resistance than points elsewhere on the body and that their conductivity is higher. 1952 - Dr. Walter Schmidt Found resistance at the specific acupuncture points related to a disorder increased when that organ was malfunctioning. In contrast, this resistance remained constant when the function of the corresponding organ was not impaired. Ohm's Law V (Voltage in volts) R (Resistance in ohms) I (Current in amperes) V= RxI R= V/I G(Conductance in seimens) G=I/V 1953 - Reinhold Voll & engineer Fritz Werner Developed electro-acupuncture according to Voll (EAV). Consolidated Nivoyet and Schmidt's work Developed world's first EDS (Electrodermal screening) System. Others who were dissatisfied with his system developed bio-electric function diagnosis and therapy (BFD). The Phenomenon of Medicine Testing in Electroacupuncture According to Voll By Rheinhold Voll Abstract: “EAV(Electroacupuncture According to Voll) has shown that each acupuncture point bears a direct relationship to a specific anatomical structure or physiological function in the body. An electronic apparatus was designed to quantitatively measure the electrical activity at each of these points which directly infers the functional status of the structure or disease process in question. A serendipitous discovery showed that when medicine is introduced into the electric circuit during point measurements, the medicine, if correctly chosen, will change reading values to a more normal level.” 1978 - Dr. Helmut Schimmel German physician, dentist, and student of Voll simplified the diagnostic system from Voll's 850 points to 60 points. Developed second generation EDS system called Vega Test-Method or Vegetative Reflex Test (VRT) which uses only a few points in the hands.

Electrotherapy Involves the use of electrical stimulation to enhance the acupuncture effect. Small, electrical impulses are sent through the skin during electrodermal screening, but only so that the pulses themselves can be evaluated. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Sends tiny electrical impulses through the skin to the nerves lying directly beneath the skin surface. The impulses help block the body's ability to send a pain message to your brain and increase the body's ability to produce its own pain killing substances (Endorphins). FDA Electrodermal testing devices have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for assessment of nutritional deficiencies, food allergies, the presence of toxins, Candida, Epstein Barr virus, or the weakness of organs and glands. Use of the above devices for these purposes is inconsistent with FDA approval. GSR devices are Class II devices that may be used for biofeedback of electromagnetic frequencies. The FDA classifies "devices that use resistance measurements to diagnose and treat various diseases" as Class III devices, which require FDA approval prior to marketing. Clinical Studies There are no generally accepted completed clinical studies which demonstrate that the electrodermal testing devices are effective when used to assess for nutritional deficiencies, the presence of toxins, food allergies, Candida, Epstein Barr virus, and the strength or weakness of organs and glands. (1864-1943) George W. Crile MD FACS Founded the Cleveland Clinic in 1921 In addition, Dr. Crile founded the American College of Surgeons Dr. Crile predicted that a “radio-diagnostician” would detect the presence of disease before it becomes outwardly apparent. He stated that man is a radio-electric mechanism, emphasizing that when life ends, radiation ends. “It is clear that radiation produces electric current which operates adaptively the organism as a whole, producing memory, reason, imagination, emotion, the special senses, secretions, muscular action, the response to infection, normal growth, and the growth of benign tumors and cancers, all of which are governed adaptively by the electrical charges that are generated by the short wave or ionizing radiation in protoplasm.” G.W. Crile M.D. In an Address to the American College of Surgeons in 1933 Jacques Benveniste In his personal laboratory (1935-2004) Informational Copies (IC) Biologically Active Substances (BAS) Physics and Cellular Biology All matter vibrates at a specific and unique frequency as a result of the electric charges of the particles at the atomic level. These vibrating, electrically charged particles emit electromagnetic waves. This means that every medicine (or any other substance) produces its own unique electromagnetic signature. Spectroscopy can identify substances by the energy fields they produce. All cells have two types of antenna-like receptors on their surface. While the first type of receptor is designed to detect bio-chemical substances such as nutrients or hormones in the body, the second type of receptor is designed specifically to receive electromagnetic signals from the surrounding environment. Session If a patient with a normal liver has the frequency of a healthy liver put into the testing circuit, there will be resonance. The absence of change in the patient’s skin resistance indicates that the liver is not stressed. If a patient with an energetically stressed liver has a healthy liver frequency run through the testing circuit, that frequency will not resonate with that person’s electromagnetic field relating to their liver tissue. This non-resonance increases the electrical resistance in the person’s body. The increase in skin resistance in this case indicates there is an energetic stress in the liver. Subsequent tests can then be performed with other organs and toxins in order to obtain more information on the nature of the liver disturbance. Remedy frequencies can be tested for coherence and imprinted - a digital form of homeopathy The Republic of China Yearbook - Taiwan 2002 "Chinese medicine is eliminating the stigma of being unscientific by combining age-old practices with modern technology. At the Foundation for East-West Medicine in Taipei, doctors are using an electro-dermal screening device (ESD) to pinpoint the source of an illness. The ESD measures what traditional Chinese medicine refers to as the "energy flow" in a patient's body by probing the acupuncture points. Acupuncture is applied in the dentistry department, for example, to locate problems by tracking the places of energy stasis in the mouth. Once the problem area is detected, dental instruments are used to pinpoint and treat the problem." Julia J. Tsuei, MD FACOG Founder and President of the Foundation for East-West Medicine. In addition to her lifelong OB-Gyn specialty, for over 40 years Dr. Tsuei has conducted extensive research in the field of Bio-energetic Medicine, and published extensively in both fields. Her practice is devoted to the integration of traditional and contemporary medicine. Her recent focus is the use of flower essence therapy in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Bioenergetic Diagnosis and Conformation Using Classical Diagnosis The selected eleven cases presented are reported from a family practitioner's office using Eletroacupuncture according to Voll (EAV) diagnostic technique. Six cases had finding of malignant tumors, three were diagnosed as GI bleeding, one for acute inflammation, and one for chronic degenerative disease. All findings were confirmed by classical means of diagnosis. Reprint requests should be addressed to: Julia J.

Tiller, Ph.D. Zeng Qiang, MD Professor and Director, Physical Health Examination Center Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital Beijing, P.R. China. (1948 - 2008) Lead Author W. John Diamond, M.D., B.Ch., M.D. TUUN Health, LLC, Reno, Nevada, USA. William A. Tiller, Ph.D. Professor, Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University from 1964 to 1992. Currently, he spends his time in experimental and theoretical study in the field of Psychoenergetics which he feels will become an integral part of "Tomorrow’s Physics.” Abstract A pilot study of the feasibility of using a frequency-based decision support technology to monitor health status and triage medical referral in 200 Beijing residents was undertaken by the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Comparison of a two day physical exam to a four minute frequency-based stress bio-survey revealed diagnostic agreement in a majority of the major organ systems. Findings Health Status was measured as the documentation of significant pathology or functional disturbance in the major organ systems as designated by ICD-9 diagnosis (physical exam) or significant deviations in GSR bio-stress organ readings over baseline levels (instrument), respectively. The results showed 87% congruency in the disease assessment of two or more of the four primary diagnosed unhealthy or stressed organ systems. Meridian Stress Assessment may be used to screen: All the systems, organs and functions of the body For allergies and sensitivities to foods, plants, animals, environments, inhalants and most anything we meet in our daily life. Imbalances in nutritional products such as vitamins, minerals, enzymes, EFAs, proteins, and hormones. The quality of teeth, dental conditions, dental materials and compatible products. Sensitivity or a weakness to heavy metals, toxic products and pollutants, such as herbicides, pesticides and insecticides For parasites, fungus, yeast, candida, bacteria, viruses, vaccines, and miasms. Applications for Healthcare Practitioners Acupuncturists use EDS to discover most disturbed meridian and select a herbal formula that will balance it. Chiropractors operate EDS to find spinal subluxations and choose best supplements to support physical adjustments. Removes the “Flying Blind” effect. Naturopathic Physicians detect patient's specific allergies and toxins using EDS and select best remedies to help resolve the issues. Homeopathic Physicians screen for microbes with EDS and use the appropriate homeopathic remedies or pulsed frequencies to destroy them. Become a “Good Guesser” - W Lee Cowden MD, MD(H) M.D.s and D.O.s employ EDS as a pre-screen or follow-up for expensive lab tests, as well as using it to select the medication that will produce the least side effects for the client. Dentists find EDS valuable in selecting the most compatible dental materials and the best anesthestic for the client. Tennis pro Martina Navratilova used EDS during her career as part of her overall health program under the direction of Internist, Harold Whitcomb MD, (1927-2006) Aspen, Colorado. Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby “The Allergy Detective” author of VIRTUAL MEDICINE "It is unfortunate that NICO [Neuralgia-Inducing Cavational Osteonecrosis] is usually not visible on x-ray. Many cases are missed even by experienced diagnosticians, since 35- 50% of bone loss is necessary before changes become radiographically evident. That is where electro-acupuncture diagnostic screening comes in. I know dentists who are bold enough, and trust good electro-dermal screening practitioners sufficiently, to drill into bone at the site indicated as a reading focus. It is very satisfying to both parties when the cortex is breached and a cavity filled with biological sludge makes its presence known."

Pollutants - both particulate and radiation (EMF) – lower a healthy frequency. Processed and canned food having a frequency of zero can greatly diminish a person's own frequency. A negative mental state can lower a person's frequency by 10-12 MHz. Dr. "Bones" McCoy Star Trek Chief Medical Officer USS Enterprise Are Humans Standing Wave Pertubations in an Energy Field?
