Electro acupunctureJustin Morais PhD, contributes this article that introduces EAV or electro acupuncture to Voll. Justin Morais is a practitioner of both conventional acupuncture using needles, as well as EAV. This article is part of a bigger article on energy medicine. It was first published in a 1995 issue of The Good Life, which focused on the theme of energy.
All matter is energy and requires a constant supply of energy to remain comparatively stable that is, in balance or in good health. This is the understanding of modern physics. And it’s the basis of energy medicine. In energy medicine, a therapist can bring about physical changes in a patient (a cure or some relief from symptoms) by entering one of the levels of the etheric (or energy) body. This can be done through physical contact with the patient, as in acupuncture. Or it can be done at a distance, as in radionics. Energy medicine includes:
For centuries, medicine stumbled along by guesswork. All sorts of methods were employed – bleeding, cupping, fasting and so on. Those methods that worked were accepted; those that didn’t work were abandoned.
Founder of electro acupuncture
Dr Voll began his research in 1953 with two assumptions:
If these assumption are true, he reasoned, it should be possible to measure this energy and restore the body’s energy balance with the aid of modern technology. Energy can be temperature, pressure, force, etc, and it can be measured by various means. One form of energy, however allows the measurement of the most subtle changes that are most imperceptible. This energy is electromagnetic. Together with an electronics engineer, Dr Voll developed an apparatus to measure the slightest energetic reactions and the momentary electrical potential of an organ at the acupuncture points. By measuring this electric potential, we can detect illness in its very early stages, well before it can be detected by conventional medical tests. Every illness needs time to develop. The body can cope with many stresses and adverse influences before cells or cell compounds are damaged. When this happens, we may feel a slight uneasiness or discomfort and we may not pay much attention to it. Only when a large number of cells are destroyed do we feel sick, with symptoms such as fever, aches, nausea etc.
Electro acupuncture to measure subtle changes These early electrical changes are very subtle. That’s why Dr Voll and his engineer friend had to develop a machine that is very sensitive and very precise. Their machine measures electrical changes so precisely that it can detect, for instance, small changes in the electric potential of the stomach after a particular food is ingested. This is long before the patient himself is aware of any changes happening in the body, and long before most of the clinical data can be obtained through the usual medical test. Electro acupuncture can come up with the results much earlier. Conventional medical investigation, such as x-rays, ultrasound, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and the many other types of scans available today, all look at structures in the body. Doctors look for swelling, hardening, tumours and other abnormalities. Yet these are primarily structural changes.The energetic properties of a tissue or organ are not considered to be important. Most practitioners of alternative medicine consider energy to be of primary importance. The understanding of energy medicine is that before we develop serious diseases, the first thing that goes wrong in the body is an electrical change. Only when this electrical change continues for a considerable period of time does a structural change in the organ appear. Only then can such changes to be detected by x-rays, MRI and other scans. But it may be too late. If abnormalities and diseases can be detected at the stage of energy changes, diagnosis can be made much earlier. And the diseases are more easily reversible than when a lump has already appeared. Most allopathic doctors are not familiar with the philosophy of energy medicine. So they consider this view to be nonsense.
Electro acupuncture - like tuning a car One way to understand the difference between energetic and structural changes is to consider the performance of a car. If the engine is not properly tuned, the car will not run smoothly, especially under difficult conditions. But if were to check the structure of the engine, you won’t find anything wrong not even if you have the best auto mechanic working with the most advanced testing equipment. Overtime, wear and tear will set in and eventually, structural problems will appear. This happens all the time with the human body. Initially, we detect very fine disturbances in the function of an organ. The liver, stomach, intestines or other organs may not function smoothly 100 percent of the time. Or, we may occasionally experience slight aches and pain. But a supposedly “thorough” medical check up reveals nothing wrong. So we ignore the signs. Slowly, the condition worsens until we “suddenly” discover that we have cancer! No. Cancer and other serious diseases do not happen suddenly. They develop over a long time. And all the while, the body sends signals to tell us that something is wrong. The trouble is, we either don’t know how to read these signals, or we ignore them. German electro acupuncture (also known as EAV, or Electro Acupuncture according to Voll) is just one of many ways to read the early warning sign of disease. And to restore the energy balance before it is too late. Click here to read a description of what electro acupunture or EAV treatment is like. |
