It is a great pleasure to write a Foreword to this most opportune of books as it comes at a time when it is evident that a new dimension must be added to medicine if further progress is to be made in understanding the true and fundamental causation of disorder and disease.
During this century modern medical science has explored in depth the physical and material structure and functioning of the human body, right down to the cellular make-up and beyond, to the realm of molecular biology, and the telluric forces which operate. But in spite of this vast knowledge it has made little progress in understanding or detecting what Sir James Mackenzie called ‘the predisposing stage of disease’, that condition when there is still no damage to tissues or cells and no pathological changes either histological or morphological.
The result of this lack of fundamental knowledge is that modern medicine usually only deals with the disorder when it has advanced into the realm of pathology. At this stage treatment of symptoms is usually all that can be done and this applies particularly to chronic disease – or, in other words, the basic factors causing these pathological changes are largely unknown, and the true nature of health is an enigma.
This state of affairs has given rise to a desire to get down to more fundamental healing, hence the coming of what is called Fringe or Alternative medicine which consists, in the main, of unorthodox therapies which give results but more often than not appear to have no scientific raison d’etre, and thus are not acceptable to orthodox medicine, and yet, especially in chronic disease, yield cures not obtained by orthodox means.
This is particularly true in the more way-out techniques and therapies of Radiesthetic medicine or medical dowsing, and its close ally Radionics, both of which use the supersensible sense – the radiesthetic faculty – to diagnose and heal and deal with pre-disposing states at the root. This can be done, if necessary, at a distance and by remedies which have no material substance in them, only a healing force.
To explain the rationale of such techniques and therapies it is obvious we must invoke a new dimension, as it cannot be explained in terms of the ordinary data of modern materialistic science, but it can be explained, at least tentatively, if we adopt the hypothesis of a force or life-field called the Etheric – the living formative matrix of cosmic patterns.
This, at present, is largely an unexplored field of study and practice, but the author of this book is a well qualified pioneer to investigate such a field, and in this work he has explored to some good purpose. I think readers will agree that he is an excellent guide in these difficult and largely unfathomed realms, and that although he is dealing with relative intangibles his hypothesies and theories make scientific sense and the Etheric something which is very real and active and cogent in explaining the various phenomena of this new dimension in healing.
As far as I know no book of this nature has yet been written, but I am sure it will be a landmark in the unravelling of these new spiritual – scientific fields of study, which will provide a sound base for further investigation by other seekers after truth and knowledge, and which will, in the end, produce a true integration of the art and science of health and healing.
It is a method of healing at a distance through the medium of an instrument or other means using the ESP faculty. In this way, a trained and competent practitioner can discover the cause of disease within a living system, be it human, animal, plant or the soil itself. Suitable therapeutic energies can then be made available to the patient or subject to help to restore optimum health.
Radionics was originated by a distinguished American physician, Dr Albert Abrams, who was born in San Francisco in 1863. His parents planned that he should complete his education at Balliol College, Oxford, but a visit to Heidelberg made him decide he would prefer to study in the University of that city. From there he graduated with the degree of MD, including first class honours and the gold medal of the University, thus becoming as highly qualified as any physician of his time. In America, Abrams was Professor of Pathology and Director of the Cooper Medical College (Dept. of Medicine, Leland Stanford University of California); he also held the post of President of the San Francisco Medical Chirurgical Society. He wrote several medical text books (one dealing with spinal reflexes ran through five editions in four years) and he eventually won for himself a national reputation as a specialist in diseases of the nervous system.
Abrams, in the course of his research, devised an instrument with calibrated dials which enabled him to measure disease reactions and intensities in his patients. From this work, which Abrams called ERA or the Electronic Reaction of Abrams, came Radionics as we know it today. Abrams’ pioneering work attracted much criticism from his fellow practitioners and they sought to discredit him in every way possible. In due course his instruments came to England and in 1924, the year of Abrams’ death, a Committee under the Chairmanship of Sir Thomas (later Lord) Horder investigated his claims. To the astonishment of the medical profession, the Committee had reluctantly to admit, after exhaustive tests had been carefully run, that Abrams’ claims about the diagnostic value of his methods were proven. Lord Horder later said, ‘The fundamental proposition originally announced by Dr Albert Abrams must be regarded as established to a very high degree of probability.’
Perceptive physicians took up the practice of the Abrams technique, not least amongst them being the late Sir James Barr who wrote a book on the subject of Abrams’ work and his great contribution to medicine.
In the United States a Chiropractor named Ruth Drown added further dimensions to Radionics, developing new and more sophisticated instrumentation and new diagnostic and treatment techniques. In the course of her work Dr Drown made the discovery that it was possible not only to diagnose the disease of a patient from a distance, but also to treat that patient from a distance using a sample of blood from the individual concerned.
During the 1940’s a great deal of research was initiated at the Delawarr Laboratories in England. Once again instruments and techniques were refined and improved and much research was undertaken in the field of radionic photography. Today Radionics continues to keep pace with recent scientific developments and the modern practitioner, in keeping with the scientific axiom that ‘All is Energy’, looks upon his patients not only in physical terms but as a series of interpenetrating energy fields. He finds concepts in the ancient philosophies which deal with man as a multi-concentric energy system, concepts which tie in with modern discoveries, and it may thus be said that Radionics is a field of activity where physics and para-physics, science and religion, meet and merge.
Basic to radionic theory and practice is the concept that man and all life-forms share a common ground in that they are submerged in the electro-magnetic energy field of the earth; and further, that each life-form has its own electromagnetic field which, if sufficiently distorted, will ultimately result in disease of the organism.
Accepting that ‘All is Energy’, Radionics sees organs, diseases and remedies as having their own particular frequency or vibration. These factors can be expressed in numerical values and are known in Radionics as ‘Rates’; hence the calibrated dials of the radionic instruments upon which the frequencies or ‘Rates’ can be placed for diagnostic or treatment purposes.
One final and important concept in Radionics is that the electro-magnetic or Life-field of the earth, with its subtler variety of frequencies which lie beyond the electro-magnetic spectrum, provides the link between patient and practitioner during analysis and treatment. It is an ancient axiom that ‘Energy follows Thought’ and that thought is transmitted through the energy field of the earth; in this way the practitioner can attune himself to the patient.
The radionic practitioner in making his analysis utilizes the principles of dowsing by applying his faculties of extra-sensory perception (ESP) to the problem of detecting disease in much the same way that the dowser detects the location of water, oil or mineral deposits. The particular form of ESP used in Radionics is often referred to as the radiesthetic faculty through which the practitioner, by means of a series of mentally posed questions, obtains information relative to the health of his patient to which the conscious, thinking mind has no direct access.
In the early days of Radionics it was usually necessary for the patient to be present when an analysis was made and the treatment given. Today this is no longer the case as it has been found that a blood spot or a snippet of hair will serve to establish the necessary link with the patient through the medium of the earth’s energy field.
Thus, the standard practice when a Radionic practitioner is consulted is for the patient to send the practitioner a blood spot or hair sample accompanied by a case history and a full description of symptoms. If convenient, however, some practitioners like to see the patient in person for an initial consultation. In order to make an analysis the practitioner places the patient’s sample on his radionic instrument, then attunes his mind to the patient and adjusts his instrument in a way which is analogous to the adjustment, or tuning, of a radio to receive a distant transmission. This having been done the practitioner, aided by his knowledge of anatomy, physiology and the nature of the human force field, proceeds to pose a series of questions in a methodical and predetermined order relative to the nature of the patient’s illness and the causative factors involved.
A radionic analysis is not a medical diagnosis, but a means of identifying and assessing the underlying causes which give rise to pathological states and their symptoms. These may or may not coincide with current medical opinion, but this is to be expected when the practitioner’s approach is along para-physical lines and he is concerned with causative factors which may not be clinically identifiable or measurable.
When the radionic analysis is complete and the practitioner has accurately ascertained the major causative factors of the patient’s illness, he determines what form of treatment is required by the patient to remove those factors. As all pathological states and their causes have their own particular frequency or vibration, he selects those ‘Rates’ which will offset the imbalance or disease in the patient’s system. These ‘Rates’ are projected or transmitted by the practitioner to the patient by means of a radionic treatment instrument, once again using the blood spot or hair sample as a link. Some practitioners use, as an adjunct to the healing influence of the ‘Rate’, homoeopathic, Bach (flower) or other similar remedies. These are placed on the instrument in proximity to the patient’s sample.
It may be difficult to accept that such treatment can be effective at a distance. However, the weight of clinical evidence shows that it is very effective in a significant number of cases. ‘Action at a distance’, as this phenomenon is called, is not new to science, today a great deal of research is being carried out by scientific institutions in this field and they are finding that both humans and plants respond to projected thought patterns and that this phenomenon occurs no matter how great is the distance between the subjects under investigation. Their findings now bear out the rationale of Radionics.
Additionally or alternatively, the radionic practitioner may recommend other forms of treatment such as changes in the patient’s diet, osteopathic or chiropractic manipulation, homoeopathic or herbal remedies; or, if the nature of the case warrants medical attention, he will refer the patient to his Doctor, thus in all instances making sure that the patient receives that form of treatment which will restore harmony to his being.
One of the advantages of a radionic analysis is that it is often possible to discover from it potentially serious conditions at an early stage and, by appropriate treatment, to prevent them developing to the point at which they become clinically identifiable. Moreover, as radionic treatment takes place on a non-physical level it cannot harm any living tissue or produce any unnatural side effects.
Entelechy is defined in the medical dictionary as ‘Completion; full development or realization; the complete expression of some function. A vital principle operating in living creatures as a directive spirit’. Radionics, by its very nature, is an entelechtic or holistic approach to healing; it is above all concerned with the total man, with his mind, his emotions and with the subtle force fields that govern the functioning and well-being of his visible organic systems. Orthodox science has devoted its attention almost exclusively to the many varieties of disease and in the process it seems to have lost sight of the individual. Conversely, Radionics is concerned with the healing of the whole man, with the health pattern or entelechy of the individual. This health pattern is a singular, unitary force within the structures of man that ensures adequate and optimum functioning of the systems of his body. The purpose of radionic therapy is to help the individual to re-establish his optimum pattern of health.
My first book Radionics and The Subtle Anatomy of Man was written primarily for radionic practitioners, because I felt there was a need to call attention to those aspects of man which lay beyond the physical mechanism. It was clear that the teachings of the Ancient Wisdom had a very direct and practical application to the practice of radionics, and would enhance its value as a diagnostic and therapeutic technique.
Response to the book from radionic practitioners has been very satisfying. Many have incorporated the techniques it outlines in their day to day practice to good effect, and the School of Radionics now includes the subject of the subtle anatomy of man and the basic principles of Centre Therapy in its training programme.
Judging by the number of letters and even phone calls that have come from countries as far away as America, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and South Africa, this book struck a responsive chord in other fields. Doctors of medicine, osteopaths, masseurs, physiotherapists, healers and many lay people have contacted me, some seeking further knowledge along these lines, others wanting to share their knowledge, ideas and experiences, and some wanting to help with matters of health.
The central theme of response to ‘Radionics and The Subtle Anatomy of Man’ has been quite singular. People have said that it takes a complicated subject like the subtle bodies of man, and presents it in a simple yet practical and informative manner. Many practitioners, especially those who have physical contact with their patients, like masseurs, physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors, have through reading the book come to a realization that the subtle bodies of man are an immediate reality, and that they have been working with these subtle aspects, often unconsciously, in their practices. The concepts contained in the book have in some measure broadened their whole idea of health and healing within the framework of their own particular discipline. This has happened, I believe, because a knowledge of such matters is basic to any healing art, be it radionics, homoeopathy, chiropractic or any other method.
In this book which should be considered a companion volume to my first, the central theme is going to be radionics and radionic practice in relationship to the force field in which we live and move and have our being, thus it will once again have appeal to practitioners in other disciplines and to students of the Wisdom Teachings. I feel most strongly that in an understanding of broad basic principles, especially those connected with the Life-field we live in, there lies a common bond of harmony to be shared by all of the healing arts.
Against the backdrop of the energy field we live in I am going to touch upon a theory which attempts to explain how the radionic practitioner links with his patient over distances of thousands of miles in order to diagnose and treat. This theory brings metaphysical considerations forward and relates them directly to organic and cellular analogs.
Even more remarkable is the fact that radionic cameras, linked to a blood spot can photograph the internal organs of the donor of that sample, over any distance. Or is it remarkable? Dr Ruth Drown didn’t seem to think so and she was the first in the world to discover this technique. I will explore some of the facets of this rather mind stretching subject in the hope that perhaps it will stimulate some to investigate this phenomena, and increase in others the recognition that we all share a common field of energy, a knowledge of which is of use to anyone who serves in the healing arts.
Ruth Drown not only pioneered radionic photography, but she also had the idea that if you could ‘pull’ photographs out of the ethers, why not homoeopathic remedies. Today, as we shall see, this has been developed into a fine art and radionic potency simulation is here to stay, and I might add used by a growing number of medical doctors, osteopaths and radionic practitioners throughout the world.
Like Radionics and The Subtle Anatomy of Man this volume will cover other practical aspects dealing with radionic diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for the practitioner. But like its companion, it is just an introduction to a vast subject. It is written with one thought in mind, and that is to stimulate the reader to look further, to consider without prejudging, ideas and concepts that may on first sight seem way out, but on second thoughts and with a bit of study begin to make sense and open up whole new vistas, whole new areas of ideas and heretofore unconsidered levels of consciousness.
Radionics of course is not a scientific subject in the accepted sense of the word, but this in no way invalidates its profound value to those who practice it, nor to those who receive the benefits of treatment. People are fast becoming disenchanted with the more orthodox methods of healing, not because they are without value, but because they tend to strip man of his dignity, and to annihilate any feelings he may have about being a part of the universal scheme of things. Carl Jung probably summed this up better than anyone when he said: ‘People have become weary of scientific specialization and rationalistic intellectualism. They want to hear truths which do not make them narrower but broader, which do not obscure but enlighten, which do not run off them like water, but pierce them to the marrow.’
