Issue 12 July/August 2011

As you may know, Quantum Health has spun off a sister publication, Choice Point, a free monthly ezine that is directed at the general public and

whose focus is transformational living. Quantum Health returns to its original intent of providing information to healthcare practitioners, especially those in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and integrative medicine, although we trust the informed general public will also find value in our offerings.

I will take over from Trina Hart as managing editor of Quantum Health, which will be published bimonthly, with content that includes CAM modalities, technologies and therapies; emerging science and technology; frontier science theory; and more.

We will occasionally offer special issues that focus on a specific topic, therapy, scientific discipline or theory, or geographic region. In this issue, we highlight bioenergetics in Germany, which has always been a leader in frontier science and CAM clinical practice. We are delighted to bring you interviews with some of Germany’s top researchers and thinkers in biophoton and biodynamics research.

Alexander Popp brings us up to date with what’s happening at the prestigious Fritz Popp Institute, which is at the centre of biophoton research— the study of light in the body. One of the especially interesting developments he explains is the new regulation diagnostic device he is testing at the Institute.

Marco Bischof—a true renaissance man with an extensive range of knowledge, an insatiable inquisitiveness, and a sparkling mind and creative spirit—speaks eloquently on a broad range of subjects concerning consciousness, energy and information fields, bioenergetics and biophotons, and more.

Dr. Folker Meissner does double duty in this issue—an interview about the many German research institutes he either directs or works with and an article about his thriving holistic medical clinic and his use of the NES ProVision.

If you have topics you would like to see covered or if you would like to contribute to Quantum Health, I invite you to contact me at [email protected].

Welcome to the July/August issue of

Quantum Healthmagazine!

New research has revealed that in the United States, which has been slow to accept mind-body and complementary and alternative (CAM) therapies, conventional health professionals are referring their patients to CAM practitioners at ever-increasing rates. ScienceDaily (May 11, 2011) reports that a new study from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School found that 1 in 30 people using mind-body therapies, such as yoga and meditation among other modalities, are referred by their conventional primary care physicians or healthcare providers.

Dr. Aditi Nerurka, an Integrative Medicine Fellow at Harvard and part of the study team, says, “There’s good evidence to support using mind-body therapies clinically. Still, we didn’t expect to see provider referral rates that were quite so

high.” Her team used 2007 statistics to determine that more than 6.3 million Americans had been referred by conventional medical professionals to CAM practitioners. She also notes, however, that patients were usually referred only as a last resort, once conventional therapies had proved useless. Nerurka said that she and the other team members can only “wonder whether referring patients for these therapies earlier in the treatment process could lead to less use of the health care system and, possibly, better outcomes for these patients.”

For the full report, see A. Nerurka, G. Yeh, R. B. Davis, G. Birdee, R. S. Phillips. “When Conventional Medical Providers Recommend Unconventional Medicine: Results of a National Study.” Archives of Internal Medicine, 2011; 171 (9): 862 DOI: 10.1001/archinternmed.2011.160

Diabetics’ Eyes Hold Clue to Nerve Health New Scientist (March 26-April 1, 2011) reports that a new eye test might soon help diabetics know if they are at risk for nerve damage and its often insidious physical damage, including the loss of limb sensation, which can necessitate amputation. Previous tests have been invasive, such as nerve and tissue biopsies. But the new eye test developed by Australian researchers can detect the signs of nerve damage by examining the cornea. They discovered that microscopic analysis of the corneas of diabetics who have or are developing nerve damage show a lower density of nerve fibres and the nerves are shorter than those in the corneas of healthy control subjects. UK researchers have recently developed software to scan the cornea to analyze nerve density, and the hope is that signs of nerve changes can be detected early and any potential damage stopped or treated. The cornea scan is currently being used in several hospitals and the research team is presenting papers about it at professional conferences to get the word out about this promising test. Sci

Autism and Visual OverloadThe online science site ScienceDaily reports on a study that claims to have revealed why so many autistic people appear to have extraordinary visual capabilities, even though these capabilities may contribute to their being inundated by what’s going on around them in the world.

Researchers at the University of Montreal’s Centre for Excellence in Pervasive Developmental Disorders report that the brains of people with autism show heightened activity in visual centres correlated to visual detection and identification, to the detriment of other areas of the brain known to control planning, thoughts and actions.

The study collected data from more than 300 autistic individuals and collated additional data from more than 250 brain imaging studies conducted over 15 years. One of the researchers said, “The stronger engagement of the visual system, whatever the task, represents the first physiological confirmation that enhanced perceptual processing is a core feature of neural organization in this population. We now have a very strong statement about autism functioning which may be grounds for cognitive accounts of autistic perception, learning, memory and reasoning.”

CAM for Mums-to-beA growing number of pregnant women are benefitting from CAM modalities. Dr. Jon Adams, Executive Director of the Network of Researchers in the Public Health of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NORPHCAM) and associate professor at the University of Queensland in New Zealand, reports on a review of referrals of pregnant women to CAM therapies. The review was conducted by members of that organization, who are also affiliated with the University of Queensland, and covered nineteen studies reporting on more than 3,000 maternity professionals—from obstetricians to midwives—from seven countries who were interviewed between 1999 and 2009, with most conducted within the last five years. Some of the results include:

• Of 227 American midwives interviewed, 78 percent used some form of CAM therapy and 89 percent said they would refer a patient to a CAM therapist.

• Of 343 midwives in Canada and New Zealand, 72 percent had made CAM referrals. The most common modalities patients were referred to included (in descending order of most referrals) homeopaths, acupuncturists, naturopaths, chiropractors, massage therapists, and osteopaths.

• In Germany, of 381 obstetric departments surveyed, 380 had referred patients to at least one CAM modality, with acupuncture being the most common referral, followed by homeopathy and aromatherapy.

• In the US, 98 percent of all obstetricians queried said they “routinely” refer patients to CAM practitioners, with “movement therapies” being the most common referral, followed by biofeedback and acupuncture.

• Overall, across all surveyed populations, two of the most common CAM modalities most subject to referrals were herbalism and “mind-body interventions.”

Body of Light: Biophotons and HealthAn interview with Alexander Popp

By Sarah Turner

Alexander Popp is a researcher at the Fritz Popp Institute in Germany. Fritz-Albert Popp, considered by many to be the “father of biophoton research” is Alexander’s father, and is now largely retired from the Institute. Biophotons are ultraweak light emissions from the cells of living organisms, including humans. Research from the Fritz Popp Institute and from other researchers who have since taken up the banner show that biophotons play a major role in the regulation of the body and in health. I caught up with Alexander Popp recently to talk with him about the state of biophoton research. This interview has been edited for length and for English syntax.

QWould you start by giving background to all the things you

are involved in because I know there is the Popp Institute and Quantica and Quantica TV, but I am just not sure how it all fits together.

AP: Quantica makes available research from the Fritz Popp Institute, which does research in the field of biophotons, water and many other things. Quantica also funds the Institute for that research.

QPlease give our readers a bit of background about yourself

and how you became involved in the biophoton work.

AP: Okay. After my education as a dental technician, my father called for me to come work at the Institute. Previously, I had spent a lot of time at the Institute, helping out. After my education, my father said, ‘Okay, now you can come to my place and work with us together on a special device, called the regulation diagnostic.’ That was eight years ago.

I started on the regulation diagnostic device. It was hard for normal people to understand how it worked, so I started to make some calculations and other things and do some tests in an experimental way to see for myself about the regulation diagnostic and what it did. It is a tool for looking to see if someone is healthy or


QuantumHEALTH


unhealthy. Using it, I could see there were strong correlations between the biophoton emission of the body and the measurements taken by the regulation diagnostic. There is no other device which can really show if your body is ‘regulated’ or not.

QWe need to back up a bit and explain some of this. Let’s start

with biophotons, the ultraweak light emissions from cells. Explain more about what they are and a bit about this research for our readers who aren’t familiar with it

AP: My father, Fritz-Albert Popp, started this biophoton research more than thirty years ago, with his PhD work. He was looking for the difference between benzyl(a)pyrene and benzyl(e)pyrene [polycyclic hydrocarbons]. One of them is carcinogenic although both of their chemical structures are virtually the same. He discovered that the only difference between them is how they interact with UV light. The benzyl[a]pyrene is carcinogenic because the light that comes into it is changed before it is emitted again. The other one doesn’t change light in the process of light absorption and emission. He was presenting this finding at a conference for oncologists, and they told him it was crazy. They said that must mean light is being emitted by cells, and he said yes, and they thought he was crazy.

He kept exploring this. He found that there was someone in the past who had thought about this—this is the founder of this area of study, Alexander Gurwitsch. He was a biologist who discovered that cell growth is dependent on light in the UV range. He made some experiments with onions in which he showed microscopically that when two onion roots grow together, the ones that were grown in a glass that stops UV light had only half the amount of cell separation. When the glass let through UV light, the cells grew faster. Cells division and growth seemed

to depend on light. He thought that light was providing information to the roots to increase cell division, and he called this mitogenetic cell radiation. So this was really the start of the study of the radiation of photons, which suggested that photons were needed to make some chemical reactions within the cell.

In 1950, there was an Italian astronomer who was trying to find and study stars that were very far away, and he needed to find a way to make them visible, and he invented a technology to do that [to detect their very weak light]. Then that device was used by others to look at plants, and they discovered that plants emit light very strongly. This was a very surprising effect. No one knew what to do with this finding. Then in the 1970’s as my father was doing his PhD work, he found out about the work of this astronomer and of Alexander Gurwitsch and he saw that maybe these were possible answers for his findings about how benzyl(a)pyrene and benzyl(e)pyrene use light that changes one into a poison. Because of the astronomer’s device, he also asked a PhD student working with him if he could build a similar device that would detect light coming from cells. This student said that he did not believe light could be in cells, and could be emitted by them. He said it was impossible for that to be true.

QWhy was that idea so improbable? Why do you think people wouldn’t

expect that cells emit light?

AP: He didn’t believe it! It was impossible for him to understand that it could be so, and so my father asked him if he could build a device which would prove that light did not come out of cells. So this student, Bernhard Ruth, built such a device; however, it showed light coming out from [the cells of] potatoes! There was a very high level of photon emissions. So my father got the practical proof that photons are in cells. This was the beginning of it all.

QuantumHEALTH



Since then, we have found out a lot about what light does. Max Planck [one of the fathers of quantum physics] showed that light contains energy and information. Light sends information and energy to an atom and as a result the atom changes its condition. The atom reacts to light. Light makes electrons jump up to a higher state. Light causes a vibration and this vibration can change the atom’s condition so that this atom connects to other atoms, and in that way molecules are formed. Light changes the condition of atoms so they can connect and create molecules—and this is dependent on water. Water is the substance of life. It can change the chemical structure of life. So what we see is that both light and water influence cells.

QThe light in cells is special, in that it’s coherent light, right?

AP: Yes, it must be coherent light. Coherent means that biophotons have a high order. The order is so strong that other things that come into the influence of this light also become ordered. For example, researchers at the University of California-Berkeley found out that plants need quantum coherence to be able to photosynthesize; without using processes that are quantum coherent photosynthesis is not explainable.

Light does two things in the body: it changes the condition of the atoms for the order of the system and it transfers information between the cells. We have 100,000 reactions per second in each cell. These reactions must be activated by a process that works much faster than enzymes can. Only light can do that—provide the information to coordinate 100,000 reactions in each cell per second! Light is also used by the body to make order, a special kind of order. Erwin Schrödinger has a theory that said that the human body is in a chaotic state and tries second by second to become more ordered. Schrödinger asked a question that was very important to biologists: How is it possible that

100,000 processes can happen every second in a cell during mitosis without any mistakes? No biologist had an answer until our current time. My father’s biophoton work provides the answer, because light has the ability to give cells the information they need and put them in the condition to perform these 100,000 processes without mistakes.

QIs there a similarity here to James Oschman’s living matrix theory,

which talks about the information grid in the body? That instead of the nervous system or the hormonal system powering the matrix, light is powering it?

AP: Light is providing the information to the electron, which is why electrons can switch so fast. Everything vibrates, and the special frequency of light provides information for vibrations. If the atom is vibrating, the electron has to jump state to change the condition of the atom. Everything is connected. The electron vibration is overlaid on the atom’s vibration, and the atom’s vibration connects to other things with the same vibration, so they communicate with each other. This is how the world creates itself. And photons are the information givers. Without light it is impossible for anything to happen. Light forms life. Atoms need light to form molecular structures.

QHow does the external environment have an effect on

the body, UV light and manmade electromagnetic fields and that sort of thing?

AP: What we found is that we could measure light between 200 and 800 nanometres with photomultipliers. This is the visible light range and some of the UV range and infrared range. It’s interesting that the higher the frequency into the infrared range, the faster the vibration, for example you can see a thermal change on the body using an infrared camera. It shows you how


QuantumHEALTH


high the vibrations are of the different atoms. You can see evidence of some diseases. For example, if there’s a very cold part of the body, okay there’s not much energy there, not a lot of thermal energy there, which is needed by the body because of the circulation.

There must be a very harmonic state in the body. So, we can take a look at the range of 200 to 800 nanometres, which is in the range from the very low frequency to the high frequency like infrared, and this is connected to sunlight and to the complete visible light range. . . . We know that sunlight, the coherent light of the sun, is directly connected to the surface of the cell. So it can affect the cell’s vibration. This is in the visible light range. It’s also called the coherence theory, the Van Cittert-Zernike theorem, which describes the coherence of biological systems and shows correlations in size to light. We are a certain distance from the sun, there is a certain distance between the cells of our bodies and the sun, and so we have a certain size and form. You asked before why these discoveries about light and biophotons were so surprising to conventional biologists. The answer is that biologists are only looking at the molecular structure, and they don’t really ask why is there a structure, what forms it, or what is giving the information.

QDo you think that is where biology is going? That conventional

biologists have to look at biodynamics like this to answer their questions?

AP: They have to! For example, they found out recently about the placebo—that if you give it as a placebo [with people knowing they are getting a placebo instead of believing they are not] it also works! They have to consider consciousness. There are some explanations about consciousness or awareness or trust that apply to health. And that connects to light. There is no other explanation about how consciousness can work except light. And so they have to look in that direction to get explanations about living systems. Nothing else is possible.

And we have very strong fluctuations in the body. For example, look at blood pressure. We know from studies in the field of chronobiology that you need thirty measurements of blood pressure at different times and under different conditions—stressed, relaxed—to get a real result, to determine if someone has high blood pressure. We don’t know a lot about our biodynamics. We are all different. We found out with the regulation diagnostic RD144 device that we need to take measurements at 1,000 points to determine statistical significance! We found out that in the biological rhythm there is a ten percent deviation on both the low and high ranges during one day and only within the resistance of the skin. Everyone has a bit different biodynamic.

I think that over time doctors are opening more and more to these fields, such as the biophotonic field, because they don’t know how the body works really, and what is behind what they do know. It’s very important for our society that we start to look in new directions, not only the molecular direction, which is important for the emergency situations, but in other directions too. If I have a ruptured appendix, I would not run to a healer, I would go to a doctor. But I would also look to preventative medicine to make sure things don’t happen in the first place. Complementary medicine is very important to look at, before something happens and even after, to sustain health again.

QWhile we are on the subject of preventive medicine, what do you

do and what would you suggest that people do to keep themselves in the best health?

AP: Get more into their minds! Get more conscious! It’s very important because if you are conscious with yourself and your environment, you see the world more realistically. You get more into the real things and then you can feel if something is happening in your body or not.

QuantumHEALTH



We have ten million cells that are dying every second in our body and ten million that are growing every second. It changes with age. As I get older, more cells are dying. If I am younger, more cells are growing. . . . Every second this is happening. Every second, maybe, if I am conscious, I can have an influence on these reactions and to what happens in my body. We have calculated this—if you think every second in a positive way, you need one and a half years to change your complete system, to change it in a positive way that is absolutely healthy. In the mean, without the standard deviation, some cells live longer, such as liver cells, while some of our cells live a very short time, such as skin cells. So we have to start to think more in a positive direction, but to see also the negative things. Both are very important. We have to get more into a harmonic state. If we don’t see the negative things we run blind.

We also have to get more conscious to realize what we are doing with nature. . . . I see that we do not respect nature. Nature respects us, but we don’t respect nature. Conscious means connection. It means trust and love and health and all the things which bring us together. It is very important that we start to get more responsible. I am happy to see that there are many revolutions in the world now, because that means people are getting more conscious. They see what is happening in the world and they see how they are caught in our society sometimes and they try to get free. I think this is a very good way to see that we are going in the right direction. And I hope that it goes further.

For sure it will be more involved because of the technical equipment, the information—you can get information very quickly through the Internet. . . .We are on Skype, we are talking through electromagnetic fields! We built up a new way of being conscious; it’s another kind of consciousness! We tried to get connected to each other, and this is what we are doing.

. . . It’s another frequency. But we get it more through the unconscious. We didn’t really see consciously that we are all connected—that we are all one in that way. And this is also shown in the studies of the Princeton Engineering Research Anomalies Laboratory or Roger Nelson with his Global Consciousness research project—he shows absolutely that we are connected to each other. If something happens [on the world stage], the devices [random number generators] change—through our consciousness there is an effect upon the material world. So, we know that we can influence our environment.

As we start to become more conscious, we will more consciously connect to each other. The growth of the Internet, for example, shows that we want to be connected to each other. That’s wonderful, but really when I am talking to a computer, I am not talking to a human being, in relation with another human being. It is my computer I am in relation with really. The more we are connected through the Internet—sitting in front of a computer and talking to a computer—the more we can lose our humanity. You see?

QDo you think there is bit of a backlash against this information

technology? That people want to get back together again but that we have lost a little bit too?

AP: Yes, we have lost a little bit. And you see illness states increasing—because we are not getting fit! Our task is to get perfect! This is what our evolution has given us for life, what drives life. It tries to get in order. If we sit there, not doing sports or healthy things, we get worse, and we see illness—autoimmune illness for example. You can see it more and more. When we are at our computers, dealing only with machines—there is no interface between us and machines. We have only a very small effect on them—we can change things in the machine, but it’s very, very low-level change. But I can change


QuantumHEALTH


other people much better, with my intuition, with my charisma for example. Charisma for me is the information I give to another person through electromagnetic fields! Everything must have electromagnetic fields, because everything is made from light and light is electromagnetic. So there is an influence to everything in my life.

My environment—this is the question you asked before—my environment also has photon emissions. Our bodies have photon emissions. Something like five to ten photons per second per square centimeter. For example, a plant has an emission of ten thousand photons per second per square centimeter, so they have a very high emission. Why do people think we don’t have an influence with our environment? We are always influenced by our environment.

My father talked about ‘potential information,’ which is all the information in a state at any given time. It is there as potential, and it becomes real when we realize it. Like if I toss a coin and ask the question, ‘Is it heads or tails?’. In the air, it is both heads and tails—it is one bit of information. But when it is lying in my hand, then it is one or the other, heads or tails but not both. We only are conscious of a little bit of all the potential information. Many, many things are unconscious. If we ask how much is conscious, it is only four percent of all. Four percent! Ninety-six percent of everything is unconscious for us. Our metabolism, for example, is unconscious for us. We do not know about it, we do not feel it usually, but we are able to if we get more conscious. When we get more conscious, then we are able to change our lives.

QWhat you are saying is that we are in this field of potentiality and if

we get more conscious we can actually change outcomes using our own focused intention.

AP: Yes. We can change how we handle things through our intention. I change my own reality. Surely, there are some things which are deterministic. For example, I cannot change this water bottle through my mind. A water bottle will be a water bottle and it will not change into a wine bottle. It will not become something else. But I can change the water that is in there. And that’s what I mean. You can change biological systems. And biological systems have very high photon emissions sometimes and they can use that information. It depends on you—what kind of information you give it. It has a lot to do with resonance principles. For example, if I go to a business meeting thinking it will not be a good meeting, I will not have a good meeting. If I become conscious of what my feeling is about the meeting, then I can change this feeling and the reality of the meeting. I can go into the meeting saying in my mind, ‘This will be a very, very good meeting.’ Then you will see that the meeting will probably be very good. In that way, you are the creator of that reality.

QLet’s go back to the regulation diagnostic device. Tell us more

about that.

AP: The regulation diagnostic is very useable to see diseases. We take measurements of the resistance of the skin and these can be plotted to a distribution, with deviations. A Log-normal distribution correlates to a more ordered or coherent state in the body; a Gaussian distribution of the measurements means you are in an unordered, a more chaotic, state. It also tells you something about disease. For example, if you have a Log-normal distribution with the regulation diagnostic that means you are in

QuantumHEALTH



a relatively healthy state, but you also might happen to have high blood pressure, and you can know from this distribution that the blood pressure problem is chronic because the body is compensating through its regulation system. The other way is, if you have a bad regulation system or a chaotic state and you have high blood pressure, it suggests that this is a short-term problem. It may be stress, not a chronic disease.

QHow does the regulation diagnostic work though? What’s

the principle?

AP: With the regulation diagnostic, we measure the resistance of the skin at one thousand points, and we look at the distribution that results. If it’s a logarithmic distribution or if the values show a logarithmic distribution, I know that the body is in coherence. Coherence means a special order, where all cells know what the others are doing. Every cell in the body has information from all other cells. They use only the information that they need and not what other cells need. This connects to the DNA. We found out that this special order in the body is very important. You can take measurements on the inside of the hand and also on the meridian points of the resistance of the skin. It shows you the charge of the cells. And cell charge depends on biophoton emissions. If you have a high cell charge, you also have a very high probability of finding photons there because of constructive interference of electromagnetic fields. This shows me the order of my system. If I see I have a logarithmic order in the body, I know it is in a high coherence state. If I have a Gaussian distribution then it means that my body is experiencing chaos and that means the probability of getting ill is higher.

QDr. Folker Meissner was showing me this device and how it can be

used with the NES Health system—to look to see whether the regulation diagnostic system finds chaos or coherence.

AP: Yes, you can use the regulation diagnostic for looking at how well a treatment works and how the treatment can be changed. You can see directly by taking a measurement before and after a treatment. It takes only ten minutes normally. The body reacts very, very fast. When information gets into the system, the body starts to get into order, or not. The regulation diagnostic shows if it is starting to get in order. Then you know if the treatment is having an effect or not.

QWell, you’ve given us a lot of information. It’s time to wrap

up. If our readers could take away any message from the work you are doing or what you are thinking about, what would that be?

AP: My last message would be about Quantica. Quantica is a company which makes available to the public all the knowledge of the professors on our scientific board, especially through a DVD box we prepared of our Symposium from May. If we have more knowledge, we can become more conscious. Knowledge is the power for becoming conscious. If we are more conscious, we can then, through our knowledge, imagine new solutions for the problems we have in our world.

He spoke with Quantum Health about a wide range of topics relevant to health, the ‘new medicine’ and the many fields of emerging science both within Germany and around the world.

research. Why do you think this is so? Is there something special about the German research mindset that opens them to being pioneers in this area?

MB: First of all, I have to make some clarifications. What you call biophysics and bioenergetics is actually not what scientists consider conventional biophysics and bioenergetics. Because in science biophysics mainly is medical physics and molecular biology and not what we are doing in biophoton research. Biophoton research belongs within biophysics, but if you ask a conventional physicist he will probably not know about it, and his understanding of biophysics will be quite different. And the same with bioenergetics. Conventional bioenergetics is something completely different. It has to do with energy transfer and the transformation of energy at the cellular and molecular levels and has nothing to do with the electromagnetic fields in the body and things like that.

Q Well, explain these terms in relation to frontier science.

MB: You could say we are dealing with non-conventional biophysics or a new field of biophysics, which you could say is holistic biophysics. And it is a biophysics not mainly focused on the cellular or molecular levels, although we are working on these levels also of course. But it’s mainly the biophysics of the whole system.

Q And of fields. . .

MB: Yes, precisely. But you should not emphasize this too much because, of course, this is the new aspect of it. But it doesn’t mean we are neglecting particles—the solid matter aspect. It’s just complemented by the field aspect. And this new biophysics is not based on classical physics, but on quantum physics. It’s quite different from what is taught in universities. And it’s also based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Classical thermodynamics is mainly about closed systems, and non-equilibrium thermodynamics is about open systems, which are far from equilibrium. This is best known in connection with the name of Ilya Prigogine, who got a Nobel Prize for the creation of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The word he uses is dissipative structures. Physics was not able to understand living systems, because they are very different from the kinds of systems that classical physics studies, in that they are open systems, which means that energy and matter are flowing through these systems. Open systems are not in thermodynamic equilibrium, which means they have a high degree of order that can only be maintained by this inflow of matter and energy. That’s why we need to eat, why we need sunlight, and so on. And this makes them also highly sensitive to even weak stimuli.

Q Why do you think that classical, conventional scientists are slow

to embrace these new concepts and evidence?

MB: Well, you know, in science we talk about physics as the lead science for all the other sciences. For instance, everything concerning biology is very far behind in what kind of physics they have as a lead, and it has taken a long time for biology to follow physics, to incorporate the physical knowledge into their science, and now they finally are doing that but physics itself has advanced and gone somewhere else in the meantime. That means that now biology must catch up with what has been happening in physics. And it has followed only a little what is happening in quantum theory. Actually, what is also apparent is that even in physics the real consequences of quantum physics have only been looked at in physics in the last ten years, because before it was considered a purely philosophical thing and was not interesting for physicists. They use quantum physics as a method to calculate molecules and so on, but the philosophical and epistemological consequences of quantum theory have only been looked at very recently.

Q What breakthroughs have caused this change in the last ten years?

MB: Well, I would say it was mainly the controversy around David Bohm. David Bohm, a physicist, like Einstein criticized quantum theory. Einstein said that quantum theory was dealing with ‘spooky effects’ that he didn’t want to accept. And it is exactly these spooky effects that Bohm criticized. When some people following Bohm tried to test quantum theory with the idea of proving it wrong, just the opposite happened—they were able to prove that these spooky effects not only exist but that they are fundamental for physics. They also proved so-called ‘entanglement,’ which was one of the keys to the whole development.


QuantumHEALTH


Q So you think researchers in Germany were quicker to take up

these theories than others?

MB: Before I answer that I would like to go on a little bit more about the consequences of quantum theory, because that’s very fundamental. First of all, it’s holism. According to quantum theory, reality can only be considered as a seamless whole, or as holistic. Any other idea is not scientific. That’s one of the most important consequences. Connected to this is the concept of non-locality, which has been proven by these entanglement experiments. Non-locality means that connectedness and wholeness are primary compared to the aspect of solid matter and separateness. This means that matter in the form of particles are not the main basis of reality, in terms of physics, but that connectedness, the relationship between things, and holism are the primary aspects of reality.

And in connection with this, of course, is also the field aspect of reality, which is more fundamental than the particle aspect. The basis of the physical world now is the so-called ‘vacuum,’ which is a kind of universal field, which is not an electromagnetic field. It’s more fundamental than electromagnetic fields. It’s more a kind of information field or a consciousness field, if you want to use that term.

And this leads me to the last point about the consequences of quantum theory, which is that it is absolutely necessary to include consciousness into the physical world view— but not consciousness in the sense of individual consciousness or in the sense of being conscious, because it comprises also the so-called ‘unconscious,’ which is the consciousness without having consciousness of consciousness! Without reflective consciousness. And so that means consciousness is not something that only individuals have, but is a fundamental property of the universe.

So now I will go back to your question about German researchers being quicker to embrace these concepts. Fundamentally, it’s that quantum

theory was developed in Germany. And what’s very relevant here is that almost all the founders of quantum theory studied Eastern philosophies and religions. It’s not so well known, but [Erwin] Schrödinger and [Werner] Heisenberg and others were very, very interested in Eastern philosophies, and Eastern philosophies have actually influenced the development of quantum theory.

Q Is that then the connection of spirituality and this view of

consciousness as the underlying fundamental part of reality?

MC: Yes, and that is exactly what’s happening now in biophysics and clearly in medicine: the new developments in these fields are very much informed by Eastern philosophies. That’s where they go beyond Western science in a way or they have helped to enlarge or develop Western science. Integrative medicine has as its starting point the incorporation of non-Western medical systems and theories. A consequence has been that when Western science was looking at the scientific basis of complementary medicine it has had to question some of its own assumptions. For instance, questions about the separateness of consciousness and the body or about the biology of solid matter or the existence of consciousness.

Biophoton research and other new fields of biophysics have very much been informed by the holistic view of reality, which has been influenced by Eastern views. And what we can also observe in science today is that disciplinary boundaries are more or less dissolved. Most advanced fields of science today are interdisciplinary. Look at psychoneuroimmunology for example. Not only does it incorporate many different disciplines of science, but it also incorporates psychology and sociology and so on.

QuantumHEALTH



Q It’s interesting to make the jump from the micro world to

the macro world, because you have sciences looking at either the very small or the very large. Or, with a field like sociology, they deal with the relations between people. That’s often a big leap to make, isn’t it?

MB: Well, it is, yes, and at the moment we can see everywhere that this leap is actually being made. I think many scientists have recognized that even with producing all this wealth of knowledge of a cellular and molecular nature, they could not really arrive at understanding, for instance, how the human organism works. So they had to return to some ideas about whole systems, which earlier in their sciences had actually been present, but they got lost or it was forgotten in the second half of the twentieth century.

You know, it is very interesting, that this may also be one of the reasons why Germany may be a bit advanced in this field—because Germany has a long tradition of holistic medicine. In the first half of the twentieth century, Germany had developed a holistic medicine that was not outside conventional medicine. It was normal medicine, taught in universities and medical schools. Only around 1950 was this development stopped, due to the rise of molecular biology and genetics.

Q Do you think we are now returning to a more holistic

approach, and not just in Germany?

MB: Yes. What is happening at the moment is that molecular biology and genetics is coming back to these earlier insights of holistic medicine. As an example, I am working at the moment on the history of the so-called ‘constitutional thinking’ in the history of medicine, which was very well developed in the first half of the twentieth century in Germany and other countries. There was a scientific basis for it. And now molecular biology and genetics are coming back to that even without knowing it. . . . They

are coming back to what they call ‘personalized medicine,’ such as finding genes for the individual susceptibility for certain illnesses, which are actually concepts of this earlier constitutional medicine. ‘Constitutional’ means every person has an individual bodily build but also an individual physiological and psychological make-up that provides certain propensities for certain illnesses. So that’s what they are again finding out in genetics and physiology. They are, of course, now also working in an interdisciplinary way— you now have psychological genetics and behavioural genetics.

Q And epigenetics [the study of how the internal and external

environments influence the cells, above the influence of DNA] is now becoming well known and accepted.

MB: Yes, it’s becoming a very important field. And another field that is also very important is neuroplasticity. These fields have all shown that it is much more possible than we thought to change our own state and ourselves, to heal ourselves. You know there are very strong mechanisms in the human organism for self-healing, which is what holistic medicine said since the time of Hippocrates. And now science has returned to this insight.

Q How do you think the understanding of the mechanisms

of self-healing are going to move us forward?

MB: Mainly this happens because it coincides with some fundamental changes in society. What is called ‘postmodern society’ is also a lot about everybody being very individualistic—there are no general rules about how we should live anymore, no general worldviews that everybody shares. The view is that everybody should follow his own way in life. And also that everybody has a strong tendency to take responsibility for him- or herself. And so this postmodern condition of man coincides with these developments in science. That’s why CAM [complementary and alternative medicine] is so successful today.


QuantumHEALTH


Q Let’s talk a little bit about energy and information as concepts and

how they fit into the new biology.

MB: First, let’s look at energy medicine. This is a new field that has mainly developed from the encounter of Western medical systems with Eastern medical systems like acupuncture and Ayurveda. These Eastern systems all have a fundamental concept, which does not fit at all into the Western scientific worldview: they consider some kind of vital energy within the human organism to be a central element. This is not compatible with Western science. Even more, Western science has actually developed and defined itself in the fight against these kinds of concepts! But still, because there was such a need for understanding Eastern concepts, for instance in connection with acupuncture, Western science has tried to understand and it is slowly changing in this process.

It’s interesting, when first we encountered Chinese medicine, the concept of chi, which is one such concept of vital energy, was translated in terms of the Western scientific concept of energy. But the problem is that this concept of energy in Chinese medicine does not correspond to the Western concept. It corresponds more to the concept of energy in esoteric knowledge. The really good sinologists, who study the Chinese worldview, they all agree that chi is not energy in the Western scientific sense. It is, rather, more on the side of information.

Energy is a mechanistic concept. It is defined as the ability to do work. The Eastern concept of energy is not this kind of thing, because for what the chi does in the body, it doesn’t need energy. Chi is more like information, which causes some change, without needing any transmission of energy to do that.

You know, I believe that what healers do, for instance, is not a transmission of energy; it’s the transmission of a state. Because before a healer can heal, he has to go into a special state that I would call a state of ‘coherence.’ And what he transmits is this state of coherence. He doesn’t transmit any energy—maybe a little, but that’s not important.

Q How is this state of coherence transmitted?

MB: Well, it’s transmitted in a similar way, for instance, as when I am laughing, then you may also laugh. Or when I am yawning, then you may also yawn, because it is contagious.

Q In NES Health, we have a concept of matching—information

matching.

MB: Yes, a healer has to tune in to his patient, and by this tuning then the transmission of his state becomes possible.

Q Almost like a tuning fork. You hit a pitch and then the receiver can

decide to resonate at that same pitch or not.

MB: Exactly. It’s a resonance phenomenon. And this brings me to the point that the main change in this new scientific worldview is that we don’t see the human organism anymore as a piece of solid matter. We look at it as a system that consists of many oscillators—many vibrating things that have fields around them, which also vibrate. And so, the human organism is more like a concert of oscillators. You could say it is a resonating system that is connected to many other resonating systems. It’s a kind of cosmic resonator. This level of resonating fields and resonating matter—matter basically is also fields, so it’s resonating fields—this system does not have such clear cut boundaries with the environment and other people. This may not be conscious to us, but on the level of the unconscious we are not separate from nature and we are not separate from other people. We are very much connected. We are very much one, because we are part of a huge network of resonating webs. We are ‘webbed in’ to the whole universe.

QuantumHEALTH



Q And this is what is sometimes called the Matrix? This is

what can be called the vacuum, the underlying field of the universe?

MB: Yes. But you know, of course, you could refer to Lynne McTaggart’s book [The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe] but the problem with this book is that she doesn’t discriminate between the different levels that she describes. For her it’s just one big field, and scientifically this is not a good concept. Because the different types of fields that she is writing about are at very, very different levels ontologically. On the one hand she speaks about biophotons and on the other hand she speaks about the vacuum. And then she speaks about psychic fields, as in certain types of parapsychological research. But these are all very clearly different levels of existence, and you have to discriminate among them, although, of course, they are all interlinked.

Biphoton research, for instance, is only dealing with the electromagnetic field of the human body. But we must assume that there are other types of fields in the human body that are not electromagnetic. Even if we cannot yet measure them, they still exist and are at least partially physical in nature. Of course, consciousness can also be considered a field. There are a hierarchy of levels in the human organism, starting with the material levels of the particles and solid body, and then there are electromagnetic fields such as the biophotons—which I would call the bioenergetic field, because this has really to do with energy—and then there are non-electromagnetic fields, which are information fields but are still partially physical. And biophotons have a very strong consciousness aspect also. So, they are the interface between consciousness and the body.

Q Do you think we will ever be able to reliably measure these non-

electromagnetic fields? That’s when orthodox science stops looking—when they can’t measure something.

MB: Well, first of all, it is not true that only those things that can be measured exist. That’s also not true in the scientific sense. The non-electromagnetic fields that I am talking about, some of them are actually very normal physics. You know, for instance, the Aharonov-Bohm effect? We already talked about David Bohm. They found a certain physical effect which is not an effect of an electromagnetic field, not the effect of a force field. It’s the effect of an information field, in that it influences the phase. This information field is called the ‘vector potential,’ and the vector potential is normal physics, part of electromagnetic theory. But they found that these potentials are actually more fundamental than the electromagnetic field. In the Aharonov-Bohm experiment, the effect is actually on the phase of the electromagnetic field, but that phase is something purely informational. There are probably other types of fields that are still physical but are not energy fields. And, of course, the foundation of all this is the so-called ‘vacuum.’ This also is a field that is not electromagnetic. It’s an information field.

So I believe that concepts from Eastern medicine—like chi or prana or the orgone of Wilhelm Reich—they are all more in this non-electromagnetic region than in the electromagnetic. But the electromagnetic field is an interface between solid matter and these informational fields.

Q So, in that way, biophotons can act as a means of communication

between matter and information fields?

MB: Yes, because the biophoton field itself has some very curious properties that are more consciousness-like. And this mainly is the so-called coherence. All these quantum effects that we have found in biophoton research, they are actually a kind of doorway into information or consciousness.


QuantumHEALTH


Q Then we talk about a healer needing to get into a coherent

state—

MB: Yes! This has been measured. There are very interesting experiments measuring the brain waves of the healer and healee, and they found that, first of all, in the healing process you see that the brain of the healer becomes more coherent, which means that there is a synchronization of the brain waves between different parts of his brain. Then, you see that the brain waves of the healer and healee start to synchronize, to become similar. This means that the coherent state of the healer is actually transmitted to the brain of the healee.

Q There’s also heart-rate coherence, isn’t there?

MB: Exactly! That’s another physical parameter where you can find the same phenomenon of synchronization and coherence.

Q So, when people have got this synchronization of the brain

and the heart waves—is it caused by biophoton transfer between the healer and the healee?

MC: Very probably, but there is no transfer in a material sense. There is a transfer of states. Like in the entanglement measurements—you find transfers of quantum states, but not transfer of energy, matter, or anything.

Q So, it’s like an entrainment?

MB: Yes. It’s similar to what I already said about the so-called emotional contagion, which is an important field in social psychology today. They have found out that—what everybody knows from everyday life—emotional states are contagious. Positive ones and negative ones.

Q Don’t mirror neurons play a role in this ‘contagion’? Or at least that

might be how some scientists explain it.

MB: Yes, it is due to mirror neurons, but all living cells emit an electromagnetic field, and the assumption that fields are implicated here strongly suggests itself.

Q We usually talk about the state of the healee. We don’t talk so

much about therapists’ own emotions and inner states, although we should according to what you are saying.

MB: Yes. And you know there is other research, such as on meditation and brain waves. It is very clear that the brain waves of a meditator become more coherent. I actually believe that health probably is a state of optimal integration of all systems of the body and psyche and consciousness. And so the optimal functioning in health, particularly if we use a salutogenetic concept of health, which means that we do not act on the basis of the so-called ‘minimal health’ of [conventional] medicine but on the basis of the concept of ‘optimal health.’ A minimal state of health means that we are healthy enough to function and to work and keep up in everyday life. But optimal health means the optimal functioning, the optimal state that is possible for an individual. You can only reach this if you are not only physically fit but also if your emotional and mental state is in balance and you are expressing, or at least working to express, your innate potential as an individual. So someone is only healthy in a salutogenetic sense when he is working on his self-development. And this optimal state probably is a state of optimal synchronization and coherence between all systems—the physical, psychological, mental, and so on.

QuantumHEALTH



Q What would be your advice for the best way to increase coherence?

You already talked about meditation.

MB: Self-cultivation methods, which include meditation, yoga, tai chi, breathing, martial arts, relaxation methods, et cetera. These methods will be at the very centre of the health system in the future, because they are methods that make it possible for every individual to take care of him- or herself.

The first point about this is that you have to become aware of your own psychophysical state. You have to have body-awareness, awareness of your psychic and emotional states and of your mental states. When you are aware of these, then you can also regulate these states, change them, improve them. . . . And, of course, in this connection, there are certain technologies which will be useful for monitoring your own state. These technologies also partly already exist and I think there will be strong developments in this field. But what is much more important is that in principle every person has the ability, without any technology, to do this him- or herself. And so, this means in the future that everybody will primarily take care of his or her own health, and only secondarily will we search for the help of any medical doctors or experts.

Q Do you think it is going that way? Because we still do have quite a

dependence on going to see a doctor or taking a medicine.

MB: Yes, that’s right, because we are all not completely ready to take responsibility for ourselves. If you look very deeply into the question of what health is, then you must state that the most important thing is to take responsibility for your own health.

As our society is fundamentally an unhealthy society, in order to get really healthy you have to swim against the stream! To conform to our society is unhealthy. The most important things about being healthy are, for instance, authenticity, autonomy, self-awareness, self-development, self-realization. And all of these

things mean that you have to do it yourself and that you should follow your own deep feelings about who you are and what you want in life. Not some idea from society, school, parents, friends about how you should live, who you are, what you should do in life, and so on.

Q I recently went to a bodywork workshop. Getting in touch with

our bodies—that’s not something we are taught to do.

MB: Yes, but it is the most fundamental thing about health. If you want to live in a healthy way, which also means that you want to prevent illness from coming on, you have to first be aware that you are not in balance, have taken a wrong turn in life. That could lead to illness. And to be able to correct it, you have to know what has happened, to be aware of it. The optimal thing would be to be aware of your own state and every time you feel that you are not in balance to make a correction in your lifestyle and behaviour to prevent real illness coming on.

But, of course, even doing that you will not be able to completely be free of illness because that is an illusion. Because our lives are also processes of development, there will always be crises in this process, and that’s illness. That’s the deeper sense of illness. Illness is not something negative! Illness is not something that you should dispose of or fight; it has a deeper meaning connected to your own development as a person. That means you have to understand what the message of the illness is for yourself. You know?

Q Illness is almost a language, isn’t it? It has meaning.

MB: Your soul, your body are trying to tell you something, to do something: ‘Please listen!’


QuantumHEALTH


Q Let’s talk about some other areas of your expertise such as psi,

shamanism. What are you excited about in these different areas?

MB: Well, you know, I think what is most important is this change of view from the solid, particle aspect to the field aspect. And as a consequence, the connectedness that is most fundamental for our existence. There are no tight boundaries between me as a person and the rest of the world. There is connectedness, openness. Especially at the unconscious level we are not separate. And there is the concept of non-local healing that Larry Dossey writes about. Because there is this level of connectedness, there are also distant influences possible, which can be used in healing. But, on the other hand, which is maybe even more important, it is the awareness that the whole world is always influencing me at this deep level, even if I am not aware of it.

This openness and connectedness also means that there is no privacy anymore. And I must take responsibility for my own inner states. If I am not separate from other people, then that means my own inner states will also affect other people. And that’s why I have to take responsibility for them. This means also that everything around us, even if it is very distant, will all the time be influencing us—on the material level, on the chemical and physical level, on the level of the subtle fields, on the psychic-emotional level, and on the spiritual level. We have to very carefully choose the situations and the persons with which we associate because we have to be able to feel what is nourishing for us and what is damaging or hindering for us.

Q Our time is almost up, so this will be the last question. Which

researchers or developments should our readers keep their eyes on?

MB: There are a number of things. For instance, the work of the PEAR lab [Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research lab] and the Global Consciousness project of Roger Nelson. I think these are very, very important developments. Also the work of William Tiller, whose experiments

showed that there is the possibility that information can be imprinted onto materials. This relates to the whole field of water research, because one of the substances that have been studied in terms of imprinting information on substance was water, in connection with homeopathy and the [Jacques] Benveniste affair and so on.

Q And Luc Montagnier.

MB: Right. There is actually a lot of solid scientific water research going on at the moment, from very different quarters. The main point about this research is that water is a very complex substance. Water has a structure, can have many different structures, so it is possible to imprint information into water and this information, or structure of water, will actually last much longer than originally was thought. So, it can be used to transmit information—using the water as a carrier substance. But, also, all kinds of other substances can be used as carriers.

In the study of electromagnetic fields, there is a very important researcher in Italy—Clarbruno Vedruccio. He is actually a military scientist, and he found that it is possible to detect the structure of the electromagnetic field inside the body. He uses it for cancer diagnosis, but it can, of course, be used for many other things. He has patents on it and so on, but it is an old dream of the researchers in this field that it should be possible by scanning the electromagnetic field outside the person—emitted by a person—to get information about the inner structure and state of this person.

And then there is another thing, which originally was invented in Russia but is now available in the United Kingdom, called the Virtual Scanner. It is based on the idea that the way a person perceives colour has individual differences that reflect their inner physiological states and also their health. So they assume that by testing colour perception you can actually get a picture of the whole health state of the person. I have not been able to look closely at this, but it seems to be very, very interesting. You could relate it to the Lüscher colour test. He was a Swiss psychologist who developed a system of looking at a range of

colours: you choose a most preferred colour and a most detested colour, and by this he makes a picture of your whole personality.

And then there is a group of young physicists in Germany, in Berlin or near Berlin. One of them is Marcus Schmieke who is not only a physicist but also used to be a Hindu monk, so he is an experienced meditator. He has developed a technology called Timewaver. He is actually a friend of mine, and we have a research institute together for applied consciousness research. We do research of the kind that the PEAR lab did, using random event generators and so on, and the Tiller type of experiments and so-called Kozyrev experiments. We are still in the process of doing these experiments and cannot report on any results yet.

Q It’s very interesting, these experiments, about how focused

intention might influence the random event generators and technologies, even if we are not aware of doing so.

MB: Yes, and it’s very important for the future. In the future there will be much more [focus] on the possibility of mentally influencing matter or technical devices and so on.

My own view is that technologies should never be considered ends in themselves. They should always be considered as something that helps us to learn about our own abilities. That means that the telephone should actually be given up at some point in favour of telepathy! The telephone is only a technological realization of an ability that every person has. Technology should only be a learning device, and anything that technology can do and will be able to do, we are able to do ourselves. This is a fundamental principle I believe. There will never, ever, be a technology that will do something that we cannot do.

Q That’s interesting when thinking about therapists and their use of

different technologies.

MB: Yes, it’s the same thing. You know, Germany has a lot of naturopaths . . . and most of them

are like medical doctors in that their offices are full of technology. They rely on technology. Many of them are not even able to communicate with their patients in an optimal way anymore because there is always a technology in between. I think this is not a good development, because the most fundamental thing in healing is always the personal relationship with the patient, even if you are using technologies. Therapists should never, never forget this.

Q Well, anything else, Marco?

MB: Maybe one other point about information and energy. You know modern science—non-equilibrium science—has shown that every organism always has enough energy. An idea that is fundamental to our culture is that we do not have enough energy and that we need more and more. . . . I think this is a cultural thing and that scientifically it is wrong. We should move away from this, and look more at what resources a person actually has instead of looking outwards and looking for what we can get. We should always first look at what we already have, and usually that’s enough. Information is more than energy. The more conscious and coherent I become, the more all the processes within me will be dominated by information instead of energy. The more conscious you are, the less energy you need because information becomes predominant.

And I would like again to emphasis that it is not your physical state that is important for health, it is your mental state and spiritual state—it’s consciousness that is important for health, not the body. A change of consciousness changes your physiological processes. Of course, it is good to take care of your physical body, but it is not enough in order to be healthy. To be healthy, you need to take care of your life, in the sense of leading a fulfilled life, a purposeful life.

He is also a principle at the Institute for Bioenergetic and Informational Healthcare, a NES Health therapy trainer, and is widely considered among the world’s foremost NES certified practitioners.

Q You founded and head the German Academy of Energy Medicine and

Bioenergetics. What is the mission of this Academy?

FM: This Academy (the German abbreviation is DAEMBE) acts as a forum for scientists and practitioners of any energy and informational medicine discipline or bioenergetic modality to exchange knowledge and experience, to provide for basic and advanced education, to support and improve research and to meet at dedicated conferences. The Academy is happy to be involved in a standardizing process to help practitioners and patients decide which modalities are to be taken seriously and which are not legitimate.

Bioenergetics in GermanyAn Interview with Dr. Folker Meissner

By Joan Parisi Wilcox

QuantumHEALTH



QYou are also director of the Institute of Bioenergetic and

Informational Healthcare. Tell us about that?

FM: IBIH was founded by five shareholders based in UK, Spain, Denmark, Netherlands and Germany. As I’m the chairman of DAEMBE, which is also an educational facility, we chose to have the seat of IBIH in Germany at the same address as DAEMBE. I’m acting as the Director of Education and Clinical Research of IBIH.

IBIH is primarily an institution to provide for education and research in bioenergetic and informational healthcare (BIH) worldwide. It offers a diploma course leading to a certificate as a Bioenergetic Health Coach (BHC), and this course of study enables the participants to get a profound understanding of informational medicine and its applications. They learn about the basics of how, for example, bioenergetic, radionic or non-linear systems work, and they will know the major indications of particular devices. And, of course, they learn about non-technical modalities including Neurolinguistic Programming, Emotional Freedom Technique, Coaching, Chakra therapy, Matrix Energetics, Quantum Entrainment and Consciousness Transformation. So, the future BHCs get to know the efficacy of information as medicine in theory and practical use.

QYou are trained as a homeopath and acupuncturist, and have

taught acupuncture. Plus, you work in several other modalities of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), including as a NES practitioner and trainer. What is your understanding of how information and energy fields impact health?

FM: I have been studying and applying information and energy medicine for more than 25 years now. It started with classical

traditional Chinese medicine-type acupuncture, but very soon I chose different modalities to complement my acupuncture-based treatments. At this early time, around 1985 to 1990, I had the opinion that it would be me, the doctor, who would be the key element in the process of healing. But more and more I learned that it’s the patients themselves who are—and remain—responsible for their healing journey. Increasing experience with severe cases brought me to the understanding of energetic and information fields that govern the processes in the human being, be it the body, the mind or the soul. Additionally I do not distinguish between fields that govern the body when it’s healthy and different ones when it’s ill. In my opinion the same fields are working in the state of good and ill health, but they are more or less compromised. So we have to take care of the proper function of the generators of these particular fields and their integrity.

QHow would you describe the field of bioenergetics, and

complementary and alternative medicine in general in Germany? What’s happening that our readers would want to know about?

FM: Germany has been a relatively solid platform for complementary and alternative medicine for about a century now. Several well-known scientists in this field were or still are based in Germany including researchers like Voll, Reich, Huneke or Morell. CAM finds itself on a broad basis as not only do we have thousands of medical doctors using acupuncture, bio-resonance, non-linear systems and so on, but also thousands of well-trained practitioners known as Heilpraktiker (comparable with holistic naturopaths). Even though most of the modalities used by complementary therapists still are not acknowledged by the allopathic medical establishment and thus are not supported by health insurance companies, more and more patients tend to at least try CAM. One of the


QuantumHEALTH


major reasons why CAM has been able to keep standards high (and thus the level of attraction) is the state-controlled certified education, training and examination in Germany. For patients, this is a sound basis for trust in both practitioners and modalities.

QWhat advice, if any, do you have for CAM practitioners in

other countries, who face much more difficult circumstances because of lack of acceptance from the allopathic medical establishment and government and other regulators than do their counterparts in Germany?

FM: My advice is very clear. The only way to cope well with less supportive establishments is to be good in what you do. Profound education, solid ethical attitude and respect for one’s clients are prerequisites, as well as not feeling superior to established allopathic practitioners or modalities.

QWhat do you think is the biggest hurdle currently that CAM

practitioners face in gaining acceptance for their approach to health/medicine? Is it lack of conventionally sanctioned research or something else?

FM: I think there is not only one major reason. If you are a successful CAM practitioner even in Germany, you are considered suspicious by those who make their money using allopathic medicine. However, as more and more allopathic studies are found less credible than assumed, the lack of evidence-based research [in CAM] becomes less and less important. It’s still the power of established conventional medical companies and organizations to control authorities, media and thus published opinion that prevents modalities like homeopathy from getting full acknowledgement. Periodically published (pseudo-scientific) articles in mass media keep these modalities in the realm of belief and placebo. The only way of increasingly

gaining acceptance is to get as many content patients as possible who will tell others that they were successfully treated by CAM practitioners. Spreading the word is not only the best way of promoting a clinic, it applies as well to the modalities used. And it’s the only way to disseminate CAM in unsupportive environments.

QYou have a thriving practice as a holistic doctor. How do you

account for your success? Are there tips you could provide to other CAM professionals about establishing and growing a successful practice based on bioenergetics?

FM: Well, there are several aspects to be considered. As I said earlier, in order to be acknowledged you have to be good in what you do. So from a professional point of view, in the first place is high-quality basic education, then of course continuous good work, but also continuing advanced training is essential. Secondly, you have to be able to establish good rapport with your patients. So some soft skills like empathy, emotional intelligence and social competence are essential as well. As number three I would place one’s self-esteem as a practitioner. Which value do you assign to your work and, for example, how does this mirror in your fees? Too many practitioners suffer from helper syndrome, leaving both the patient and the therapist in trouble. And last but not least, patients should feel comfortable in your practice. Therefore, friendly ambience, appropriate clothing, appealing atmosphere and lovely personnel are prerequisites, too. Just make your clinic a home for your patients.

QWhat aspects of the emerging science of “informational

medicine” are you most excited about and why?

FM: I have been excited about informational medicine (IM) for more than 25 years now, that

QuantumHEALTH



is, since having started with acupuncture, and I still keep being excited, because I learn more and more in this field every day. But the patients get more and more open for this type of medicine as well, and so it’s getting easier and easier to talk to them about IM, to guide them into new realms of feeling healthy and to have them accept that they are responsible for their health themselves. Modalities like Neurolinguistic Programming and Emotional Freedom Technique facilitate the induction of healing processes. And highly sophisticated systems like NES ProVision or LIFE allow for plenty of background information which can be used to ask the next good question or come to a conclusion about what to do next.

One of the major advantages of IM is the absence of severe adverse reactions, yet it is highly effective. And the increasing knowledge about the impact of our consciousness on every single micro-system in our body keeps me interested in research and experimental studies in my clinic. Especially the effect of second-order cybernetics, that is, the mutual influence of the therapist on both patient and device. These are intriguing to me. Isn’t it intriguing that we are able to replace biochemical substances just by information patterns, that we thus can treat the cause of a symptom instead of the symptom itself, or even treat the reason for the cause of the symptom? Information as medicine—this is the focus for the next one hundred years of medicine.

QWhat are your predictions for one or two aspects of biology or health

as seen by conventional scientists that you think will soon be overturned in favour of the “alternative” view of biology, in terms of the biofield, biophotons, or some other aspect of emerging science?

FM: First of all, I think the understanding of the role of the brain will be overturned. Already nowadays we know much about gut instincts and

their representation, for example, as immense numbers of both intestinal nerve cells and their mitochondria, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we have to come to the conclusion that our “brain in the gut” plays the major role in governing complex basic systems of the body, while our “brain in the cranium” is more effective as consciousness transducer, enabling us to extract or transform information from a cosmic or universal consciousness to maintain our lives as conscious beings.

Epigenetics will become more and more important, because it delivers the answers to many questions concerning adjustments to our environmental challenges. Also, the role of both DNA forms, coding and non-coding, will become clearer in respect of their functioning as information transducers—transducers of cosmic information on the cellular level. Of course, the understanding of fields being the memory and carrier of information will increase as well as the knowledge of sound and light in their function as messengers and carriers of information themselves. And I think that we will be more and more faced with the limits of our analytic mind to understand the ‘free will’ and the complexity of what we call reality.

It happened on June 1, 2011—the 10,000th

scan completed with the NES ProVision®

system. I have scanned more than 1,600

patients with the ProVision, so obviously it is

one of the modalities I have successfully integrated in my holistic health clinic.

The ClinicI have been a physician for more than 30 years,

and developed an interest in complementary and

alternative medicine (CAM) about 25 years ago.

That exploration started with traditional Chinese

medicine (TCM) and especially with acupuncture

in 1986, followed by a specific form of controlled

ear acupuncture and ended up with many

different modalities including

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional

Freedom Techniques (EFT), Reconnective

Healing™, Access Consciousness™, Spiritual

Surgery and, of course, NES ProVision. The

clientele of my outpatient clinic consists primarily

of patients suffering from chronic diseases such

as migraine and different kinds of headaches,

back pain, joint issues, heart diseases, heavy

metal intoxication, allergies, various tumorous

diseases and severe traumatic emotional issues

with respective long-term case histories.

The typical phases of a first consultation consist of an interview, physical examination, several device-assisted examinations (such as the ProVision) and a discussion of the results followed by the first treatment with the most suitable modality. So the first step with a new patient is to thoroughly go through the case history and document any issues and complaints, operations, previous diseases, major impairments and so on. Normally the interview is followed by a physical examination to find out the grade of malfunction, handicap or imbalance of the body and its systems, and by a NES ProVision scan.

I use the NES ProVision software with every new patient, and with most of my current patients, because within 20 seconds it delivers plenty of background information, which might be achieved by different modalities as well, but not in this short period of time. For this reason and others that will become clear in this article, I chose to focus on using the ProVision and returned all devices known as non-linear systems (NLS) I had tested so far.

After a ProVision scan, I sit with the patient and go through the different screens to explain my impressions and to find the important questions in order to get to the background of the disease presented. Having done this, I conduct a different

QuantumHEALTH


form of examination using laser light and polarization filters to check the chakras and to identify hidden foci of energetic or informational distortion. Typically, I next probe for hidden emotional issues using the case history, the Mind screen of ProVision and the state of the chakras. Especially the Mind screen provides important clues that I might not otherwise have been alerted to. Finally, depending on the patient’s complaints and my findings, I create a plan of therapy and put it into action.

The Power of NES ProVisionI’d like to briefly share with you how NES came into my life. It started in November 2006, when I hosted an acupuncture course in Neuss (Germany). During lunch break I sat next to a table of four men, who were discussing information and medicine. Probably because of my obvious interest in their subject, they included me in their talk, and at the end of the break they handed me a DVD. I didn’t know at that time that two of them were Peter Fraser and Harry Massey, the cofounders of NES Health and developers of the ProVision. After some weeks, I watched the DVD and thought to myself: If only fifty per cent of what they claimed is true then this must be a perfect system! Unfortunately, because of a busy clinic schedule, I wasn’t able to explore more about this software. In March 2007 a man named Rob van Hees tried to get me on the phone, but because the company he represented was called Nutri-Energetics Systems (the original name of NES Health), my nurses thought he wanted to sell supplements and didn’t put him through directly! I called him back some days later and he told me that he didn’t want to sell supplements; on the contrary, he wanted to participate in the exhibition of the second symposium of DAEMBE, which is the German Academy of Energy Medicine and Bioenergetics and which I have the honour of chairing. So he booked space for a NES booth. However, the symposium went by without my being scanned, nor did I discuss my questions with Rob and his assistants. So, since NES had crossed my path twice and I thought there must be some importance in it, I called him immediately after the conference and asked where I could get more information. He told me

that I would have to drive to Holland to attend a basic training, which I did—and I came home with the software in my suitcase!

From that moment on, I have successfully used ProVision in my clinic. I became a certified NES practitioner very fast and in only a few months I had conducted about 750 scans. Since fall 2007 I’ve been the principle NES trainer in Germany and some other European countries.

So let me now briefly introduce the NES ProVision to those readers who are not familiar it.*

Figure 1: NES ProVision 1.03 software and scanner

NES ProVision consists of software and a scanner (see Figure 1) that looks like a large computer mouse. The patient places his or her hand on the scanner and within seconds the software assesses the energetic and informational state of his or her body-field. An information field, also known as bio-field or in NES terms the human body-field (HBF), underlies the body as a structured network of informational and energetic subfields that correlate to all aspects of physiological, emotional and mental processes.

The scan reveals where the integrity of the HBF is compromised, meaning that information and energy are distorted or lacking in the body-field and, by correlation, in the body. The software indicates what information should be provided for the body to restart or enhance its own self-healing capacities to help restore proper functioning and, by correlation, to enhance health. Special drops known as Infoceuticals, containing minute quantities of trace minerals

QuantumHEALTH



and information imprinted in their crystalline structure, provide the information needed to help reinstate the integrity of the HBF. There are more than 70 Infoceuticals, and you as the practitioner, based on your clinical knowledge and with the information from the scan, are able to recommend exactly those that contain the information required by the body-field.

Figure 2: Energetic Drivers Screen

Figure 3: Energetic Integrators Screen

As I indicated, the scan takes only seconds, yet it returns hundreds of results, which are displayed on multiple screens on the computer monitor. The system provides for plenty of information about several areas of the HBF, e. g., Energetic Drivers (ED; see Figure 2) showing the degree of energetic support of organs and systems, or Energetic Integrators (EI; see Figure 3) showing

how well information is flowing through the compartments of the HBF and the body. EDs and EIs are considered the major elements for the first protocol and therefore they are given a high priority when it comes to correcting the HBF.

There are also other major body-field structures, including Energetic Terrains (ET), which are indicators of persistent energetic foci, and Energetic Stars (ES), which indicate where the body already may be running emergency plans to address global informational disturbances in its systems. ETs and ESs are primarily taken into consideration when basic treatments do not work.

Figure 4: Energetic patterns in the brainstem

There are all kinds of other results from the scan, many focusing on specific informational correlations to aspects of the mind/emotional system. As an example, the Mind screen shows the extent to which emotions may be involved and how much they may be part of the different disease-related processes. You can determine specific information such as the priority of the need for emotional stress release or whether there are some hidden emotional programs from the past that the patient may still be running. Different screens lead you through the informational correlations to specific brain areas (see Figure 4) and related emotional imprints that may act as energetic oscillators affecting corresponding organs or tissues. This kind of information may help you to trace back symptoms to old emotional patterns and to


QuantumHEALTH


suggest methods of professional treatment, either by you if you are qualified or by other therapists.

Among the many other scan results screens are ones indicating the informational correlations to sensitivities to environmental stressors, including chemical toxins, electromagnetic irradiation and heavy metals. The results, being energetic and informational, do not mean there is physical exposure or contamination, but that distortions in the body-field make regulation of such items or substances a problem for the body. Another screen shows the informational processing in relation to nutrition and metabolism, which among others provides clues about the patient’s ability to cope with oxidative and nitrosative stress. The musculoskeletal system screen reveals informational disturbances that correlate to muscles, joints, and related structures, also allowing the story behind hurting joints to surface, which may at times be metaphysical in nature.

The software provides a reporting system which allows comparing scans from different visits. Sorted by the dates of the scans, the report clearly shows changes of the parameters indicated, and therefore provides a solid basis for the assessment of the given holistic treatment (see Figure 5).

As I indicated, I use the NES system with every patient in my clinic. At the first visit a NES scan is mandatory; however, the frequency of follow-up scans depends on the modalities used. However, I estimate that 90% of my patients are scanned on a regular basis.

Combining Modalities I chose the name “Clinic for Holistic Medicine” for my practice for several reasons. My favourite quote of Mark Twain is: “If the only tool you’ve got is a hammer, everything seems to be a nail,” because it describes the way a holistic clinic should not work. Holistic medicine means that you see the patient as an individual, someone not just with a body but also with a personality, mind and soul. The patient is not the object of healing, but is the subject of his or her own healing process. Holistic medicine also means that you do not have only one modality to offer (metaphorically, only a hammer) but at least two or three to be able to choose from so as to find the best method of treatment; otherwise, you would tend to model the patient to meet your modality, which makes the patient an object in the healing process.

In my opinion NES ProVision fits perfectly with the definition of the term “holistic,” because it is consciousness-based; it covers physical, mental and emotional aspects; and the Infoceuticals provide information necessary for several subsystems of the body simultaneously. However, I have found that most of my patients receive the highest benefit when modalities are combined. The NES ProVision works particularly well to complement psychological modalities, especially NLP and EFT. This combination helps patients get to the core of their problems faster and easier. Also, the NES Infoceuticals can enhance the effect of other modalities, such as Reconnective Healing™ and Spiritual Surgery, so they make a good combination as well. And even without using Infoceuticals, regular NES scans are helpful because they alone provide insight into the probable cause or the location of persistent energetic imbalances and blockages.

As an example of this holistic approach, I offer a case that may help you better understand the benefit of using NES ProVision in a busy clinic. This female patient, M. A., was aged 74 when she first came to see me three years ago. She had been diagnosed with chronic myeloic leukaemia (CML) and was confronted with a regime of repetitive chemotherapy. But she refused to

undergo this therapy and instead wanted to seek less invasive complementary treatments. A neighbour who used to be my patient had advised her to see me, and so she drove 300 km for her first clinic visit. She was definitely not in her best condition at her first visit, but after assessing both the documents she had brought and the results of my basic examinations including the NES scan, we openly discussed the possibilities of a treatment based on information medicine. To minimize the frequency of visits due to the driving distance, we agreed on a combination of a supportive diet (to avoid intoxication by unsuitable nutrients like pork), EFT (to balance mind and emotions) and Infoceuticals (to support the immune system bioenergetically; with maximum use of two Infoceuticals of the group ED 14, EI 7, ES 1 and ES 5 at a time). She learned to use EFT along with Infoceuticals, with the protocols being adjusted at every visit.

I also treated her with a specific type of ear acupuncture (known as controlled ear acupuncture) that allows identifying and deleting foci of distortion in the body regulation systems. Using NLP techniques, we also discovered that a major disturbing emotional factor appeared to be the relationship in which she had been for about 10 years at that time. Over time, as she took responsibility for her health, she decided to leave her partner. As a result of both her decision to separate and the therapy, she very quickly achieved previously unknown physical strength and quality of life, and she appeared more rejuvenated. Today, her laboratory parameters are still not in a normal range (from a conventional medical perspective), but she is a happy person in good shape who is now enjoying her life yet ready to leave this planet whenever the time comes. She is still (as we say just kidding) ‘on

Infoceuticals’ to balance her bio-energetic immune system and she uses EFT when necessary. She has appointments in my clinic only every three or four months now.

NES ProVision is an extremely comprehensive program and therefore requires profound education and training to use all the information provided professionally and to really make the best out of it. Peter Fraser, upon whose theory the system was developed, has spent decades studying the HBF and has discovered thousands of correlations from the body-field to the physical, emotional and mental aspects of the body—from the most minute to the most systemic. This is why many people say that NES is a theory that has integrated physics and biology while also updating traditional Chinese medicine and correlating it to modern biology. In this respect, it is unique from any other system.

Dr. Rainer Viehweger, a holistic physician based in Germany, provides an introductory description of the theory of global scaling in his new book, Understanding the Universe through Global Scaling. Global scaling is an encompassing theory that explains the harmonics of nature and the universe—and of aspects of our everyday reality. This natural phenomenon was discovered in the 1980´s by Dr. Hartmut Müller and explains the dynamics and distribution of all matter at its lowest, most fundamental energy level. This is a level of natural oscillations, where harmony exists. At this core level of reality, energy and information is fractal. The theory also proposes that the evolution of the universe in space and time—and so everything in the universe—is fractal, which means that s elf-similar patterns repeat from the largest scales of the cosmos down to the tiniest scales.

Dr. Viehweger writes for the layperson, in a personable style and with easy-to-understand examples that help us understand the hidden ‘master plan’ for the creation of our world and how harmony arises in the universe. He explains how nature uses its energy in the most effective way, and how according to the fractal nature of the universe, everything is connected via intelligence and consciousness—from the smallest aspects of matter to the largest. Gaining a knowledge of the power and elegance of global scaling theory can profoundly change our world by helping us to better understand and appreciate our real place in the cosmos. In the larger arena of science, global scaling theory is also being applied to creating technologies that operate in harmony with nature and natural fields and forces.
