Radionics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radionics is a body of ideas and practice concerning medical diagnosis and healing, originating in the early 1900's. It is based on the idea that all life and matter contains vibrations and harmonics which radionics seeks to manipulate: "all drugs that are specific in the treatment of disease have a definite vibration rate." [1]
According to this idea, a healthy person will have certain 'energy frequencies' moving through their body that define health, while an unhealthy person will exhibit other, different 'energy frequencies' that define their health disorders. Radionic devices are purported to diagnose and restore persons to health by applying healing frequencies to balance out the 'discordant' frequencies of sickness. Radionics borrows the word frequency to describe an imputed energy type and differs from usual meanings since it does not correspond to any property of the known forms of energy.
Ideas about informational fields or Intrinsic Data Fields (IDFs) have been proposed as explanations for radionics, but no scientific studies have been published on these hypothetical entities.[2] Radionics is often classed as pseudoscience.

[edit] Types of radionic devices
There are two main types of radionic devices. The first is simply an analysis tool, that is said to determine what is wrong with the subject being diagnosed. The second is a treatment tool used to attempt to heal or cure the subject of whatever is thought to ail them. These two may also be combined into a single device.
The typical radionics analysis device has a metal cup referred to as the well, a large collection of knobs numbered 0 to 9 on each dial, and a metal plate referred to as the stick plate. A cable may also be used to attach a sensor plate to the body of the person receiving treatment.
A radionics treatment device has all the base components of the analysis device, plus additional wells to be used to hold the material used to heal the subject. It may also have a power cord that is said to provide a base frequency rate to send the healing rate into the patient.
[edit] Diagnostic usage
To operate a typical radionic device, a sample material is placed in the well, such as blood, saliva, or urine. The knobs act as a counter and are used to estimate the frequency at which the sample is thought to be vibrating. The stick plate is operated by the analyst who drags a finger across this plate while adjusting the knobs.
As the knobs are adjusted, there is a point where their finger sticks more firmly to the plate than at any other settings. This is referred to as "getting the stick." This point of greatest sticking is the setting for that knob. The analyst then moves on to adjusting the next knob to the point of greatest stick, and so on, until all knobs have been adjusted. The final readout across all knobs is described as the frequency for the sample material.
This method of operation is highly subjective, since it depends on an analyst experienced with moving their finger across the stick plate and interpreting what the sensations mean.
[edit] Magical means of operation
Radionic devices do not accord with the theories of biology or physics. They can be described as magical in operation.
The power of radionics is said to lie in the rates or frequencies it measures and then feeds back to the patient. Although a healing substance can be directly used to feed healing frequencies back into the patient, the substance is not actually needed if its healing frequency rate is known.
For the purpose of assessment and treatment, Radionics sees organs, diseases and remedies as having their own particular frequency or vibration. These factors are expressed in numerical values which are known as "rates" and older radionic instruments are provided with calibrated dials on which such "rates" are set for assessment and treatment purposes. Radionic Research Institute
Internally, a radionic device is very simple, and may not even form a functional electrical circuit. In radionics, the wiring in the analysis device is simply used to conduct the frequencies from the well, across the measurement knobs, and to the stick plate. No actual electrical current flows.
A radionic device does not use or need electric power, though a power cord may be provided so that the power line can provide a "base rate" on which the device operates to attempt to heal a subject. Malcolm Rae developed the use of static magnets in radionics, and devised reference (or 'simulator' cards) to speed up the process of analysis and remove the need for many complex dials and settings. [3]
Typically, little attempt is made to define or describe what, if anything, is flowing along the wires and being measured. This energy could possibly be orgone or ch'i, but does not conform to any accepted scientific theories.

- Giambattista Callegari From Italy. He built a radionic device that works by an oscillating circuit similar to that of Lakhovsky, tuned on a wavelength of nine millimeters and a frequency of thirtythree gigahertz, with a photograph of the patient inside it. This oscillating circuit is connected by a wire to a metallic antenna constituted of a short rod with a sphere on his extremity. He developed this theory: the atoms of a person and of his photograph have a link of resonance, but it is weak because of resistance of space between them. This resistance decreases if the photograph is put inside the oscillating circuit described above, and a canal of communication between photograph and person is opened
