You may have encountered terms such as radionics, dowsing, and bioresonance. These techniques are based on similar principles that have both scientific and esoteric foundations. Does radionics have a chance of working? How did it originate and what was its path?
Dowsing – The Basis of Radionics
Radionics is a remote diagnostic and therapeutic method based on the principles of dowsing. Dowsing is a term introduced in the 1930s by French priest Alexis Bouly. Its name comes from the Greek words "radios" meaning ray and "aisthesis" meaning sensation.
Dowsing is a field that deals with radiation emitted by every person, being, object, or geographic feature. The foundation of dowsing is the assumption that the entire Universe is based on energy, and everything we see around us—matter, radiation, and everything else observable—are manifestations of this energy.
The "radionic principle" demonstrated by the K effect states that the entire objective world of our observational system—from atoms to celestial bodies—manifests its "physical personality" in electromagnetic form. Living beings as well—from single cells to humans—reveal their existence in this way. Earth's electromagnetic radiation appears to be a synthesis of all energetic manifestations of the electromagnetic field, including the energy of each of us.
Dowsing Tools
According to dowsing practitioners, the energy of a specific being or object can be detected by a dowser using their abilities or special tools such as a dowsing rod. This is why dowsing is often referred to as divining. In practice, dowsing also employs a pendulum, which allows for remote work—a practice known as tele-radiesthesia. In such cases, the dowser works not with a specific place, material, or person, but with a map, photograph, or a sample of hair, nails, or blood as a "witness."
Applications of Dowsing
Dowsing is primarily used to locate water veins or natural resources, but it is also employed in finding missing persons, archaeology, business, and for selecting appropriate medications and nutrition, as well as diagnosing and alleviating symptoms of various illnesses. This latter application has led to the development of radionics.
Although dowsing is also used to reduce post-traumatic symptoms, I personally believe that Havening trauma therapy is much faster and more effective for this purpose. Nearly everyone experiences substantial beneficial changes immediately, and the effect is permanent.
What is Radionics?
Radionics is considered a method of alternative medicine. It utilizes the principles of dowsing described above and is based on the theory that every human body emits a specific type of radiation that is constant for a healthy organism but changes its frequency in sick individuals. According to radionics practitioners, the body can be restored to a state of balance by removing energetic disturbances, which can be done through therapies such as electromagnetic wave therapy.
This approach was used by Rife with his wave therapy device. Today, the influences of radionics can be found in various fields of alternative medicine, such as electromagnetic wave therapy (EMT) and bioresonance. Modern standard radionics devices do not require electricity to operate (unlike Rife's devices), and any wiring is used to facilitate the flow of energy from the environment, object, or person with whom the operator is working (Franks, 2000).
Beginnings of Radionics
The foundations of radionics were established in the early 20th century by American neurologist Albert Abrams based on his research with patients. He observed that an external electromagnetic field caused reflexive abdominal muscle reactions in individuals suffering from various ailments, and these reactions varied depending on the type of disease.
Abrams proposed the theory that every organism and object emits specific radiation, which is disrupted in the case of illness. He suggested that by appropriately balancing the abnormal radiation frequencies, it is possible to cure a person's disorders and diseases (Franks, 2000). He claimed to achieve this through special devices that were sources of electromagnetic radiation (radio waves). For diagnosis, he discovered that he did not need the patient's presence but only a drop of their blood or a sample of their handwriting.
Despite the purportedly spectacular results of his research, Abrams' theories were not accepted by the medical and scientific community. After his death, his successor, chiropractor Ruth Drown, continued research into the use of radionics and became a pioneer of remote treatment.
Drown believed that we all live in one vast energy field through which we are connected. According to her, the energy transmitted to us from the Universe was a condition of health, and disturbances in the utilization of this energy caused diseases. She developed Abrams' devices to the extent that she could perform diagnosis and therapy over greater distances, virtually without limitations—this method was thus called radionic broadcasting.
Drown also invented a radionic camera used to "photograph" patients' bodies remotely, using only a drop of blood. She further developed a classification of disorders and diseases along with the values obtained for these disturbances on the devices. Unfortunately, Drown's discoveries also did not gain recognition in the community—she was convicted on charges of medical fraud.
Further Research on Radionics
Parallel to their American counterparts, radionics was also being developed in Europe. In America, it was primarily pursued by physicians, whereas in Europe, it emerged from the French-Belgian school of the Servranx brothers, involving clergy and engineers. Consequently, American radionics was used solely for diagnosis and healing, with radionics devices featuring representations of values corresponding to specific organs or pathologies. In contrast, European devices included various drawings, symbols, and representations of other areas of life, such as emotional or financial spheres. Here are examples of radionics pioneers who contributed to the development of this field:
- Curtis Upton, Howard Armstrong, and William Knuth: They conducted radionics experiments aimed at diagnosing and treating plant diseases and crops. They discovered a way to stimulate plant growth without using fertilizers and to eliminate parasites without pesticides.
- Thomas Galen Hieronymus: He developed a device capable of detecting any known elements based on specific radiation. He believed that the electron flow characteristic of a given element could be replicated by transferring it to an electrical conductor. This allowed him, for example, to grow plants in darkness by supplying them with wires and electrodes that had been exposed to light elements.
- George de la Warr and Marjorie de la Warr: They conducted numerous experiments and improved radionics devices, significantly contributing to the development of the field.
- Malcolm Rae: He was the first to apply mathematical concepts to radionics, discovering that a card containing a diagram equivalent to a given substance could be charged with energy and produce the same effects as that substance. Consequently, he built a device called the Magnetic Impulse Projector, which could send patients the energy of geometric patterns representing various medications or create homeopathic remedies, elements, vitamins, etc., by transforming the "essence" of the medication into a geometric form in sucrose granules or an alcoholic solution.
- David Tansley: He linked radionics with Eastern philosophy, concepts of energy bodies, higher states of consciousness, and chakras. According to him, diseases originate from disturbances in the energy body and chakras—closed chakras cause improper energy flows in the body, leading to diseases. Based on this theory, he developed his radionics method—center therapy.
- Giambattista Callegari: An Italian researcher who constructed a device for practicing dowsing and radionics with oscillatory circuits.
When it comes to the spiritual realm, radionics has been perceived over the centuries as charlatanism, witchcraft, occultism, or clairvoyance. It is also suggested that it could be used to harm people. However, radionics practitioners usually aim to help people, both in diagnosing and healing diseases, as well as in finding lost objects or persons, water sources, and various raw materials. Radionics can also be used to treat animals, improve their reproductive potential, for example, in poultry, or enhance the efficiency of bees.
