Energy Medicine

BioEnergetic Medicine is a powerful approach to healing based on physics, not chemistry. If chemistry is about the body's components (oxygen, carbon, etc), then physics is about the bigger universe that the body encompasses.

All living things are surrounded by fields of energy and emit visible light in extremely small quantities. Kirlian photography is able to capture these emissions. Other technologies capture some of the body's energetic functions. EKGs are an electronic representation of the activity of the heart, for example. EEGs are an electronic representation of the activity of the brain. Ultrasound machines use high frequency sound energy to create images. The physical plane is simply dense energy and we now have devices that can interface with it, such as MRIs and CT scans.

The field of light and energy that surrounds the body is called a "biophoton field." Eastern medical traditions have operated on this premise for thousands of years. This energetic model for health has influenced Tibetan medicine, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and Ayurvedic medicine.

In 1974, Dr. Fritz-Albert Popp proved the existence of the biophoton field. He demonstrated that normal living cells emit a regular stream of photons, or quanta of light radiation. In his book Biologie des Lichts (Biology of Light) he showed how living cells pass on biological information via photons, through the language of light.

Each of the trillions of cells in the human body undergoes more than 100,000 biochemical reactions per second, all of which are exquisitely timed and sequenced with each other. The DNA sequence contracts and expands several billion times per second, producing a photon of light with each contraction. DNA sends out and receives information on each photon. This all happens with a speed far faster than any computer mankind has devised. Light is fast; it is an efficient carrier of biological information.

So too are the meridians, avenues of electrical energy that flow trough the body. In the 1950s, Dr. Reinhold Voll, a German medical doctor, scientifically verified the existence of meridians and acupuncture points which had been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine. Dr. Voll created an electronic testing device to pass a tiny electrical current through the human body and measure the amount of resistance encountered at the acupuncture points. He found that the acupuncture points exhibit a different resistance to current than nearby tissues. He also realized the diagnostic abilities of this information. For example, he found that patients with lung cancer had abnormal readings on the acupuncture points referred to as lung points. Dr. Voll made it his life’s work to identify and document correlations between disease and changes in the electrical resistance of the various acupuncture points.

To heal with energy is to heal with the body's own essence. Rather than assaulting the body with chemicals, we can encourage our ability to heal through its own inherent mechanisms. It is the body's natural inclination to set itself right again.

"Each patient carries his own doctor inside him. They come to us not knowing that truth. We are at our best when we give the doctor who resides within each patient a chance to go to work."
— Albert Schweitzer

NES Scan

The NES scan is based on Quantum biology. It is an assessment tool at the energetic level, researched and developed by an Australian physician, Peter Fraser, and a British computer expert, Harry Massey. The scan of the body's quantum electrodynamic (QED) body field allows us to peek into the body's innate wisdom and see where the energy fields are distorted, so that we may determine where physical dysfunction may be occurring before disease sets in.

There is evidence that all plant and animal cells and tissues continuously emit weak light in the visible spectrum (400-800 nm). Experimental evidence shows that DNA is a source of this emission. Electrons and photons are thought to be the carriers of information through the body.

In its external form this human body-field is what some people call the "aura." It has measurable structure, and the NES scan shows us the various components of that field.

The human body-field is like the body's energetic mastermind, the operating system which organizes the body's chemical processes.

Chemical reactions are all about making and breaking energetic bonds between molecules. The human body-field provides the information needed for the body to initiate chemical reactions.

The body field has energy pathways that channel information to direct fundamental activities like pumping blood and digesting food. There are 12 such pathways, each representing a band of energy wavelengths and magnetic vectors in the QED field. These compartments are called "energetic integrators" and are folded on one another, such that information must be sequenced in the correct order in order to be correctly interpreted. Chinese Medicine calls these pathways "meridians".

Loss of homeostasis – the break-down of the body's ability to self-correct – is an intricate interplay of a multitude of factors. There is no single "correct" state of being. Most of the body's interactions have considerable flexibility built into them.

In Quantum biology, disease can be thought of as "untunement." This state arises because particles are arranged incorrectly in space, not because they are vibrating at an incorrect frequency.

The human body-field also coordinates with the emotions and the consciousness. It is in constant interaction with its environment.

We use the NES scan to determine whether any of the information pathways which control the body's metabolic processes have been damaged, distorted or blocked. Then we use remedies to correct the distortion of the information pathways, so that the body may have the best chance of returning to full health.

A NES scan is typically conducted during our patients' initial visit. It helps give us a broad picture of what is going on inside the body.

The NES scan starts by placing your hand on the input device. Your human body-field information is transmitted to the computer where it is compared to an optimal human body-field.

Dr. Martha Grout demonstrates how to analyze the data.

BIA Test

A bioimpedance analysis (BIA) energetically measures body the percentage of body fat and lean body mass. This test gives us a reading on many aspects of your body including:

Phase angle: All living substances have a phase angle. Lower phase angles indicate either cell death or a breakdown of the cell membrane. Higher phase angles indicate healthy cells. Phase Angle indicates the course of disease. It increases as the result of optimal health based on good nutrition and consistent exercise.

Body Cell Mass: BCM represents the "living cells" such as those found in muscles, organs, blood and immune cells. In the normally nourished individual, muscle tissue accounts for approximately 60% of the body cell mass, organ tissue for 20% of body cell mass, with the remaining 20% made up of red cells and tissue cells, as well as intracellular water – the water inside your trillions of cells.

Extracellular Cell Mass: This is extracellular fluids, the amount of water found outside your cells. ECM includes blood and lymph, plus solids such as bone and cartilage - the primary functions of support and transport.

Lean body mass: The sum of body cell mass and extracellular cell mass.

Fat mass: The amount of fat stored in the body.

Body capacitance: Measures the ability for nutrients to move into the cell and waste to move out. It increases or decreases depending upon the health and the number of cells. Damage to the cell membrane and its functions is as lethal to the cell as direct damage to the nucleus itself. Cells are compartments filled with a concentrated solution of chemicals and salts. Groups of cells perform specialized functions and are linked by an intricate communications system. The cell membrane maintains an electrochemical concentration gradient between the intracellular and extracellular spaces. This gradient creates an electrical potential difference across the membrane which is essential to cell survival. Electrical gradients are necessary to support movement of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients. Therefore, the cell membrane has electrically insulating qualities, or capacitance.

Basal metabolic rate: Based upon lean body mass, the number of calories your body uses each day, not including the calories burned through exercise, to maintain its weight.

We use the BIA measurements to determine the current state of health of the physical body, as well as for comparison purposes, as treatment progresses.

Evoked Photon Capture (also known as Gaseous Discharge Visualization, GDV)

Evoked photon capture (EPC) is a tool of quantum medicine. Simply put, it allows us to measure the energy level at which the body is operating.

The EPC technique measures the body's photon and electron emissions. The EPC machine emits a weak electric current that is pulsed and measured in micro-amps. It is safe for the human body because it causes no substantive physiologic effect.

The body has electrical properties. Electrons are generated first from the surface of the skin, and within a short time, electrons from deeper tissues within the body are included in the current flow. The electrons come mainly from the proteins. According to principles of quantum mechanics, these electrons are dispersed among many molecules, and form an "electron cloud," occupying a specific region in space. Other sources of electrons are the free radicals which form in response to metabolic processes.

When the body is functioning normally, electron clouds are distributed among all systems and organs. The mitochondria inside cells use the mitochondrial electron chain to convert molecules to ATP, packets of energy. When there is imbalance or dysfunction, electrons are not transferred normally to the blood and redistributed to all tissues. This prevents the normal flow of electrons (the basis for energy production), resulting in overall decrease of energy of the system. Accumulation of electrons also allows free radicals to build up in specific organs, resulting in tissue damage. This decrease in energy both to the body as a whole, and to specific organs, is measured by the EPC technique.

Information exchange occurs between the organs and the autonomic nervous system all the time. In a state of health, there is excellent information exchange, the autonomic nervous system can respond to all the needs of the different organs, and the body is in a state of balance (or homeostasis), and is healthy.

EPC therapy session with Dr. Grout

When information channels are blocked, by inflammation or tumor or injury, this information transfer is suppressed or completely cut off, and the autonomic nervous system can no longer respond as rapidly or completely. At a given point, the information suppression gets so severe that it may result in insomnia, abdominal pain, fatigue, susceptibility to infection. In conventional allopathic medicine, this is still considered to be a state of health.

Eventually, the body can't compensate enough and you get noticeably sick. You many have organ damage. At this point, allopathic medicine agrees that you are sick and gives you a "diagnosis."

EPC is a means of assessing the energy state of a person, from the point of view of the balance of autonomic nervous system function. It is a unique way of assessing how the body is functioning. The EPC evaluation can be added to other forms of assessment – EKG, ultrasound, blood analysis, etcetera – to give a more complete picture of the state of health of a person's organ systems.

The Photon Genius

The Skilling Institute created a device called the "Photon Genius" that combines the healing power of noble gases with infrared heat. The machine stands about seven feet tall. Sitting in front of it, you notice the pulsating glass rods of various colors and the heat emanating from it.

This device sends an electrical current through noble gases contained in glass rods, putting the gasses into a semi-plasma state. As the gases cool, they need to discharge energy which they have absorbed. The energy is released as photons – light that vibrates at the same frequency as the noble gases. These frequencies also happen to be harmonics of the human body – and indeed of most living things. Hence, the healing power of noble gasses.

The Photon Genius nourishes the body with a complete spectrum of bioavailable frequencies to break up blockages and barrier tissues in the body, while moving the lymphatic and circulatory systems to assist in detoxification. Nourishment is the driving principal behind this approach to healing. Nourishing the body’s own powerful self-healing intelligence has much deeper and long-lasting benefits than allopathically forcing a change of symptoms with chemicals. Symptoms are simply the body communicating to us about much deeper levels of physiological and energetic imbalance.

The infrared heat is used to elevate the body temperature in much the same way the body triggers a fever to kill germs.

We can use photonic energy to bring the body back to a balanced state because photons drive our metabolism. The body is about 70 percent water with a high mineral content making it highly electrically conductive.

When the cells of our bodies lose their normal charge due to stress and unhealthy elements in our daily lives, they become disorganized. They clump together and blockages are created. Noble gases can be used to send out photons of light that mimic the body’s natural, healthy vibration. The cells then are prompted to re-orient themselves back to a healthy state.

The word "noble" has its roots in the German word for resistance, meaning that these gases resist bonding with other elements so they are very stable. Noble gases are a high energy light that conducts electricity; they fluoresce. They glow in distinctive colors when used inside gas-discharge lamps. Used medicinally, these gases repair damaged red blood cells, make nitrous oxide for healthy arteries, make proteins that fight inflammation, normalize blood pressure, prime the immune system, move the lymph system, keep DNA from being damaged by toxins, accelerate detoxification, produce antioxidants and neurotransmitters, and much more. Noble gases have the ability to correct acute infections and chronic illnesses, including cancer.

If you say "vibrational energy medicine" people think of modalities like acupuncture, homeopathy, bioelectrical devices and aromatherapy. Noble gases are a form of vibrational energy that uses photons instead of a needle, a diluted essence, electrodes or a smell.

How do we know that Bioenergetic Medicine is valid?

One of the reasons that the allopathic community has such a hard time accepting the concept of bioenergetic medicine is that its practitioners are often unable to explain how they get their information. The information cannot readily be confirmed by any tests that we have currently available to us. Thus we are left with only the "proof of the pudding being in the eating" concept. If the treatment works and the person is healed, then the treatment must have been valid. And if the treatment doesn't work, then maybe it didn't do anything, or maybe the person being treated was resistant to the treatment, or maybe the practitioner was a charlatan.

So how does one choose a correct response? How do we distinguish among the multitude of bioenergetic treatments and machines which are available all over the Internet and used by both licensed and unlicensed practitioners?

My own preference is to use devices which are not operator-dependent. If I am having a bad day, I don't want the bioenergetic scans to be affected by my energies. And once I have picked a device, I check the information it gives me against other devices, or my own logical brain, or the patient's laboratory tests – whatever I need to do, in order to get information from more than one source. If all sources are in agreement, then I consider the information to be valid. If there is disagreement, then the information needs to be double-checked.

Homeopathic Medicine

The goal of homeopathic medicine is the cure of chronic illness and restoration of health on an energetic level. This is fundamentally different from the goal of allopathic medicine, which is the management of chronic disease and suppression of symptoms.

Classical homeopathy was developed by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in Germany more than 200 years ago, although the discipline was founded on principles which were expressed in Chinese medicine and in the ancient world more than 2,000 years ago.

In Dr. Hahnemann's day, very powerful toxic substances were being used as medicines. Conventional medicine has a long history of it. Mercury was injected as a cure for syphilis, for example. Other fashionable treatments included purgatives, bleeding, and blistering plasters that were more harmful than effective. Dr. Hahnemann stopped using these treatments, because he felt that the effect of the medicine was worse than the effect of the disease. He believed that approaches to disease must be studied from the viewpoint of vitality, meaning the life and health of an individual, and not from the viewpoint of suppression of symptoms.

From the perspective of advanced homeopathic medicine, all disease or dysfunction is an external manifestation of an internal bioenergetic disorder unique to the individual. Homeopathic medicine looks for that substance which will work on an energetic level to correct the energetic defects or dysfunctions unique to a given individual.

In 2010, Professor Luc Montagnier, the French virologist who won the Nobel Prize in 2008 for discovering the AIDS virus, shook up the mainstream medical community with his announcement that he had verified the science behind homeopathic remedies. Speaking to 60 Nobel prize winners and some 700 other sceptical scientists at the Lindau Nobel laureate meeting in Germany, Montagnier explained he had discovered water has a memory that continues even after many dilutions. He said solutions containing the DNA of pathogenic bacteria and viruses, including HIV, "could emit low frequency radio waves" and influence water molecules around them, turning them into organized structures that in turn emit waves. Montagnier said water could retain such properties even after the original solutions were diluted to the point the original DNA had effectively vanished. In this way, he suggested, water could retain the "memory" of substances with which it had been in contact and doctors could use the emissions to detect disease.[1]

A few months later, Montagnier told Science magazine, "The high dilutions [used in homeopathy] are right. High dilutions of something are not nothing. They are water structures which mimic the original molecules … DNA produces structural changes in water, which persist at very high dilutions, and which lead to resonant electromagnetic signals that we can measure. Not all DNA produces signals that we can detect with our device. The high-intensity signals come from bacterial and viral DNA."[2]

Many skeptics fail to recognize that homeopathic remedies attribute their effects not to molecules present in the water, but to modifications of the water's structure.

As technology has advanced, we have learned how to measure energetic dysfunctions and departures from the original template. We are now able to treat with substances which can restore the disharmony of the information systems which subtend the body's cellular function, right down to the level of the DNA. This may include electromagnetic energy, homeopathic remedies, combination remedies, and physical remedies such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids.

Homeopathic medicine carries the potential to modify DNA switches which have been turned off or on by toxins presented to the body. This, in part, is why it is said that energy medicine is the future of medicine.

So why is homeopathic medicine not the standard of medicine in this modern age?

By the year 1900, more than 100 homeopathic hospitals operated in the U.S., along with 22 homeopathic medical schools and more than 1,000 homeopathic pharmacies. Interestingly, many students and practitioners were women, and the homeopathic Boston Female Medical College, founded as a school for midwives in 1848, was the first women's medical college in the world. Mark Twain wrote in Harper's magazine in 1890, "The introduction of homeopathy forced the old-school doctor to stir around and learn something of a rational nature about his business."[3]

But the allopaths competed for patients. They established the American Medical Association in 1846, two years after the founding of the American Institute of Homeopathy, the nation’s first national medical society. Allopaths were called quacks in the 19th century and even before, because they used quicksilver, what we call mercury, also known as quack silver, as medicine. Homeopaths did not support the use of caustic or poisonous pharmaceuticals; homeopathy was the predominant form of medicine at the start of the 20th century. People living on the frontier relied on homeopathic remedies because doctors were few and far between.

As Doctors Paolo Bellavite and Andrea Signorini wrote of that era:

"The rapid initial spread of homeopathy was probably initially due, on the one hand, to the fact that the orthodox medicine of [Hahnemann’s] day and age was still extremely backward and lacked truly effective therapeutic remedies, and, on the other to the distinct superiority of homeopathy treating the various epidemics of typhoid fever, cholera, and yellow fever which raged across Europe and America in the 1800s."[4]

In 1855, the AMA incorporated a code of ethics that included expulsion of physicians who even consulted with homeopaths or other "un-scientific" practitioners. Similar events were unfolding in Europe; orthodox physicians in France also banned consultations with homeopaths. Homeopathy was outlawed in Austria.[5]

In 1908 the newly formed American Medical Association’s (AMA) Council on Medical Education wrote to Andrew Carnegie to propose a collaboration with the purpose of reforming medical education. The Carnegie Foundation was allied with the Rockefellers, who heavily invested first in oil, then in pharmaceutical companies. It was decided to hire Abraham Flexner to investigate the 155 U. S. and Canadian medical schools.

Flexner was a schoolmaster who knew nothing about the field of medicine but he was well-connected; his brother Simon was director of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.

Flexner’s subsequent findings, not surprisingly, heavily favored the medical schools which supported the use of pharmaceutical medicine and "science-based" medicine. Flexner wanted to promote higher status for doctors. He recommended specialization, and recommended that most of the schools for women and blacks be closed, since women showed a "decreasing inclination" to enter the profession, and blacks were a potential source of "infection and contagion." In the report, Flexner called chiropractors "quacks."

Medical journals had mixed reactions. The Journal of the American Medical Association announced that "[a]lthough there may be statements of detail which might be criticized in the Foundation’s report, generally speaking the statements made are recognized as the truth by those who are in a position to judge."[6] It was "full of errors," alleged the Denver Medical Journal; "a piece of monumental impudence," according to the American Medical Compound.[7] Among other failings, the report was produced too fast to for Flexner to visit all the schools. "You don’t need to eat a whole sheep to know it’s tainted," Flexner later wrote in his autobiography.[8]

The New York State Journal of Medicine berated the Carnegie Foundation for attempting to "dictate the policies ... to wipe out institutions with the stroke of a pen" and thereby "threaten the freedom" of medical schools."[9]

Despite the clear bias against all forms of medical treatment other than allopathic, the report was widely acclaimed by the allopathic medical community. It sent shock waves through the medical schools of the United States.

The historic Flexner Report[10] dictated that medical schools which would be funded and accredited would be those which trained doctors in the extremes of medicine - emergency and surgical, both of which make extensive use of pharmaceutical drugs. In 1905, 160 medical schools were in operation. By 1927, seventeen years after the Flexner Report, the number had dropped to 80. The homeopathic medical schools were disappearing.

Medicine in America was shifting from its early emphasis on prevention and health to a model of disease management. Influential forces promoted "allopathic" medicine, the suppression of symptoms. And they fought competition fiercely.

Doctors of Chiropractic came to find themselves denied coverage and recognition in all federal and state government agencies. They took the fight to the court. The historic 1987 decision[11] found the AMA guilty of an unlawful conspiracy in restraint of trade "to contain and eliminate the chiropractic profession" and that the "AMA had entered into a long history of illegal behavior." Since then, chiropractors have largely been able to continue their practice without medical doctor interference.

George Vithoulkas, a Greek homeopath who is credited for much of homeopathy’s revival since the 1960s in Europe, said:

"The immune systems of the western population, through strong chemical drugs and repeated vaccinations, have broken down ... If conventional medicine were really curing chronic diseases, today we would have a population in the West that was healthy, mentally, emotionally and physically."[12]

Americans are beginning to demand more than symptom management. More and more, they want to find out what went wrong and how to fix it at the fundamental level. In 1999, the first homeopathic college to open its doors since the Flexner report did so in Phoenix, Arizona: The American Medical College of Homeopathy under the direction of Dr. Todd Rowe. It currently graduates the Doctor of Homeopathy and Homeopathic Medical Assistants.

Where are we headed?

I always envied the doctors in the Star Trek programs, with their hand-held scanning and diagnostic devices, and their ability to do surgery – and visualize what they needed to see – without having to use cumbersome and physically dangerous tools. We could be headed in that direction. If we can conceive the device, I am quite certain that someone will build it. Those photons keep popping in and out of existence, showing us the way to a world of infinite possibilities.

And in the meantime, we do our best with what we have available to us. We use those physical tools that are effective, we use pharmaceuticals when we have to, we use nutrition and detoxification to maintain and restore our health, we use supplements to provide that which nutrition does not, and we use the tools of bioenergetic medicine that make sense to us.

And we keep our minds open to new tools, new drugs, new treatments – remembering that ballast is good, to keep the ship stable in the water. But ballast is meant to be jettisoned, when the ship needs to move quickly, or the waters become shallow. I read a wonderful little book years ago, talking about how to distinguish true prophets from false. The book's advice:

"You will know them by their fruits."

If use of the tool results in dangerous consequences to the patient, we are well advised to find a different tool. If use of the tool results in accurate assessments or good treatments, then we can use it in good conscience, and with the sure and certain knowledge that something better will come down the pike next year.
