Hohoenheim (1493-1541) or Paracelsus
“Father of Modern Medicine”
Energy Field as “Archea”

mercury in the field of medicine
Pioneered Homeopathy – “like cures
like”
All matter have quintum esse
Used magnets in the treatment of
hysteria
12. Luigi Galvani (1737-1798)
Life is electrical and all cells have biologic
electricity
forerunner in the field of Neurochemistry
Baron Reichenbach (1788-1869)
Odic life force that emanates from all living
things, stars and planets
Interests in crystals and magnets
13. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843)
Father of Homeopathy
SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURENTUR
While translating William Cullen's A treatise of
the Materia Medica into German, Hahnemann
was struck by a passage that deal with
cinchona bark (quinine), which was used to
treat malaria.
14. Dr. George Lakhovsky (1869-
1942)
All living things have
electrical properties
can cause recurrent
generation or oscillation of
high frequency sine waves
when stimulated by a small,
constant stream of outside
energy of the right
frequency or Resonance
Multiwave Oscillator
15. Reinhold Voll (1909-1989)
Acupuncture points have
lower skin resistance
compared with other areas of
the body
Electroacupuncture and
electrodermal screening
tests were born
17. Composed of electrons,
Atoms protons and neutrons of
which are composed of
subatomic particles and
quarks, these defy the
principles of Newtonian
physics
18. Quantum physicists believed that there is a
certain amount of indeterminacy in all events
Events can be influenced by the observer
That all things are interconnected by a higher
order at the subatomic level (entanglement)

21. Alexander Gurwitsch (1874-
1954)
– Russian scientist
1942 – cells communicate
with one another even if
separated by a quartz glass,
“mitogenic rays” that occurs
during cell mitosis
22. Royal Rife (1888-1971)
Claimed that all cancers are viral in
etiology
Postulated that each class of
organism has specific frequency
Therefore, in order to kill them, he
devised the Rife machine that
delivers frequencies to neutralize
them, much like a sound that
resonates with a glass to the point
of breakage. (Mortal Oscillatory
Rate)
23. Wilheim Reich (1897-1957)
Psychoanalyst, previously a
colleague of Freud
Human skin is electrically charged
and changes with different
emotions
Coined the term “body armor”
Orgone – an energy that can cure
even cancer
24. Seymon Kirlian
1939 – discovered that
when a person is exposed
to a photographic film in a
high-voltage electric field,
multi-colored emanations
appear surrounding the
person, which was
described as aura or
biofield
25. Fritz Popp
1974 – all living things emit
a weak photon energy as
recorded in advance photon
multipliers
The field of Biophotonics
was born, with centers in
Germany, Japan, China
26. 1970’s Devyatkov research in electromagnetic radiation
(millimeter wave)
pioneered in the research of the EM wave that led the
development of the Microwave Resonance Therapy
(MRT).
Cells emitted EM radiation and were likewise
“influenced” by “discrete and specific” millimeter wave
band frequencies applied on biologically active points
(BAP) or acupuncture points.
27. The cells, when exposed to specific
millimeter wave frequencies would manifest
a steady re-establishment of the normal
physiologic state.
The influence is manifested as a resonant
frequency similar to that of the applied
frequency. (BIORESONANCE)
28. World Health Organization definition
“…is a diversity of health practices, approaches,
knowledge, and beliefs incorporating plant, animal,
and/or mineral-based medicines; spiritual therapies;
manual techniques; and exercises, applied singly or in
combination to maintain well-being, as well as to treat,
diagnose, or prevent illness.”
29. Women than men
People with higher educational levels
People who have been hospitalized in the past
year

smokers or those who have never smoked.

(NCCAM) and the National Center for Health Statistics 2002 survey

31. The U.S. public spent an estimated $36 billion to $47
billion on CAM therapies in 1997.
Of this amount, between $12 billion and $20 billion
was paid out-of-pocket for the services of professional
CAM health care providers.
These fees represented more than the public paid out-
of-pocket for all hospitalizations in 1997 and about
half of what it paid for all out-of-pocket physician
services.
$5 billion of out-of-pocket spending was on herbal
products.
35. Leibovici published an intriguing study questioning
conventional notions of time, space, prayer, consciousness,
and causality. The randomised, controlled, double blind,
parallel group study (prayer versus no prayer) included 3393
septic patients and considered the hypothesis that
“retroactive” prayer, offered 4-10 years later, affects outcomes.
Of the preselected outcomes, mortality was similar in both
groups, yet length of stay in hospital and duration of fever were
shorter with prayer (P = 0.01 and P = 0.04).

bloodstream infection: randomized controlled trial. BMJ 2001;323: 1450-1.
