CHAPTER 1
MAN AND ENERGY
The human body is a network of different forms of energy. It is this system of energy that sustains the physical body. Each living cell in the body emits electro-magnetic radiation.
Each cell also has a positive and negative charge. Generally, the outside of a cell has a positive charge and the inside of a cell has a negative charge. But these charges may be momentarily reversed based on the action of "ion pumps" on the cell membrane that drive sodium ions out of the cell and pumps potassium ions into the cell (an ion is an atom or group of atoms that carries an electrical charge)
It is this movement of electrically charged ions at the cellular levels that forms the basic building blocks in the complex electro-magnetic workings of the body's energies. To visualize how this energy system works, imagine each cell in the body as a miniature battery. Then visualize the movement of energy from one battery to another yielding a charged energy field. Now, imagine millions of such a battery and visualize energy flowing from all these batteries and the energy that radiates from them. The energy flow in a human body is not too different from this flow!
The basic and fundamental form of energy the body obtains is derived from the food one consumes. In one's cells these foods undergo a biochemical process and chemical energy is produced. The consumption of foods that lack nutrition diminishes the body's capacity to utilize this chemical energy optimally. Similarly, oxygen from unpolluted air is necessary to ensure that optimum metabolic energy is derived from the food and drink one consumes. To ascertain that optimum health is achieved the quality of foods and water one consumes must be monitored closely.
The nerves in the human body are akin to an extensive electrical wiring system. Information from the brain is sent to different electrical impulses. Electrical energy from the heart is used to determine the functions of the heart. This is measured by using the electro cardiogram (ECG) machine.

What is Energy Medicine?
Man's Energy Field
Current allopathic belief of medicine and the management of a patient, view the patient as a complex biological entity. On the other hand, the new and fast emerging world view of energy medicine sees the patient as a complex biological system and network of energy.
Energy medicine acknowledges energy as a subtle, living force: a force that determines the status of one's health and general well being. Here the physical body is seen as a network of vital energy both within and outside the physical frame work. In energy medicine disease stems from a weakness or a disturbance in these energy patterns: wherein the system of energy is out of balance and not in harmony with the human body.
Another form of energy the body utilizes is electrical energy. All actions in one's body involve the utilization of electrical energy. For example, the simple action of reaching for a vase involves.
According to energy medicine, healing takes place with the body activating its natural healing energies. The healing process also restores energy patterns that have become compromised by nurturing the weak links back to health. This means that in energy medicine, energy is both medicine (natural healing energies) and the patient (weak energy link).

Energy medicine offers a complete system of self-care. However, it can be incorporated into other forms of medical care to complement them. As a stand-alone, energy medicine can be used to address physical, mental or emotional disorders. Energy medicine helps the body promote and maintain optimum levels of wellness.
How does energy medicine work? The energy fields that organize and control the growth and repair of cells, tissues and organs are the main emphasis of energy medicine. Energy medicine also looks at how to influence these existing fields of energy.
History of Energy Medicine
Traditional practices of understanding disease and treatment involved a holistic approach in the management of the patient. Looking back at the great civilizations of the past whether in Greece, China, Persia or India, healers looked upon an ailing individual in totality. The individual was treated as a whole being - a being made up of mind, body and spirit. Often this holistic approach included, amongst others, viewing illness from the perspective of the body's life force or energy. In fact, some of the great philosophers and healers of the past have acknowledged the role of energy in man's well-being.
Hippocrates, "the Father of Modern Medicine", was-also a believer of curative energy patterns that emanated from the earth and atmosphere. He believed that one's surroundings had an impact on the status of one's health.
In ancient healing systems, the practice of stimulating key energy points in the human body was employed by traditional practitioners as a means to restore and maintain health. By stimulating these specific energy points the healers hoped to maintain the body's overall health and even to restore health. These traditional methods of practice were observed and passed down to generations in India and China. These practitioners believed that disturbed energies lead to corresponding disturbances in the physical body. Some of these ancient methods are practiced even in these modern times.
There are many scientists and doctors who acknowledge that the universe functions electrically. Some of them include:
Robert Becker, Walter Russell, Hans Nieper, M.D., Edward Russell, Albert Einstein, William Tiller, Nikola Tesla, Edgar Cayce, Edward Bach, Gabriel Cousins, M.D., David Tansley, Marcel Vogel, Semyon and Valentina Kirlian, John Fetzer, Wilhem Reich, Christopher Hills and Richard Gerber.
Earth's Energy Fields and the Human Body
All human beings and living things have their own fields of energy surrounding them. However, living things are not the only creatures that have fields of energy surrounding them. There are various forms of natural electromagnetic waves that occupy the atmosphere. These forms of energy tome from the earth, moon and sun. It is an accepted fact that our planet has an iron core that radiates a field of waves around it. It is also an accepted fact that during a full moon, the gravitational pull of the moon causes the waters in seas and rivers to rise. In other words, man exists in a vast ocean of magnetic fields. All living things coexist in harmony amidst this backdrop' of electromagnetic waves.
How do these natural electro-magnetic fields affect us? For a start, the body contains magnetizable materials. Iron, which can be found in the hemoglobin of the blood, is magnetizable. The body's energy field level which can be measured using SQUIDS (super-conducting quantum interference devices) has been found to be 100,000 times weaker than the earth's fields.
The impact of this vast geopathic field on the body is apparent when we leave the earth's surface for a long period - our health is compromised. It is for this reason at astronauts who travel in space for long periods require artificial magnetic fields to preserve their health.
Recognizing the importance of the body's own energy fields and the natural magnetic field surrounding us let us examine this energy field surrounding our body.
The Subtle Energy System
We know that the cells of one's body are nourished by nutrients the body derives from food one eats. We also know that apart from the food we consume, the oxygen we breathe in also nourishes the cells of the body. However, what we do not know is that aside from these two nourishing agents, our cells are also constantly bathed in a continuous stream of life force energy. Man is a network of this continuous stream of energy that supports the cells, organs and various processes within the body complex. This energy system is called the subtle energy system. Traditionally, the body is viewed as being made up of the cardiovascular, neurological, respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems.
The health status of the body's energy field is measured in terms of its flow, balance, and harmony. This reflection is seen in the health of our bodies. Hence when our health is affected the body's energy needs to be treated.
Together with the circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems, these systems make up the physical dimensions of the human body. The human body's subtle energy system is a distinct energy system that functions alongside the traditionally accepted circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems.
The health status of the body's energy field is measured in terms of its flow, balance, and harmony. This reflection is seen in the health of our bodies. Hence when our health is affected the body's energy needs to be treated.
For the body to remain in a state of optimum health and to remove illness, the body's energies need to be in a constant state of movement. These energies also need space to move. Sometimes the path of these energies may become obstructed. The blockages in the energy patterns may be attributed to internal or external factors.
Internal factors include the presence of toxins in the body, stress on the body, muscular or other forms of constriction. External factors that can interrupt the energy flow in the body include the interference on the body's energy network by external energy flows.
The energy flow in the body moves in prescribed energy channels which are in harmony with the body's physical make up. These energy paths move in set patterns that support the body's various functions.
This energy flow works at all levels in the human body: from the micro level to the macro level. In other words, from the minutest level of the double helix of DNA right up to the point where the human brain controls the body, energy flows in prescribed patterns to support all the functions in the human body. There are many factors that can adversely affect the flow of energy in the human body. One such factor is stress. Prolonged stress may disturb the balance of the energy system and when healing energy is applied to the body it is able to restore the flow, balance and harmony in the disturbed energy system.
Hence it is possible to predict the onset of disease by assessing the energies and correcting the imbalances. Ongoing research is beginning to validate some of these theories.
Energy Vortexes
The energy vortexes or discs or wheels refer to concentrated centers of energy in the human body. Altogether there are seven such centers in the human body. Each major energy vortex in the human body is a center of swirling energy positioned at one of these seven points. These energy vortexes envelop the organs with energy. Where the energy channels deliver their energy to the organs, the energy vortexes bathe the organs in their energies. Each energy vortex supplies energy to specific organs.
Energy Vortexes
The energy vortexes are said to have several functions which include physiological and psychological roles. The physiological function of the energy vortex is to bathe the organs in their area and influence the health of these organs. The status of an energy vortex's energy field will influence the health of the organs located in the energy vortex's vicinity. Energy medicine propagates the notion that disease in a specific organ is preceded by a disruption in the equilibrium If an energy vortex's energise. Coming from this premise, one can predict the onset of disease by assessing the energy vortex's energy fields. Likewise, one can also correct imbalances within the energy vortex's energy fields to nurture the body back to health.
Multi-layered Sheath of Energy
The body as a whole has a multi-layered energy field that surrounds it. This multi-layered sheath of energy is yet another component of the subtle energy system that surrounds man. The multi-layered sheath of energy radiates energy fields from the body. These fields of energy interact with the environment around it. The multi-layered sheath of energy offers a protective shield around the body, filtering out negative energies and accepting the positive ones. The body's multilayered sheath of energy also works like an antenna, resonating favorably with the good energies and channeling them to the energy vortexes. Likewise, it also resonates with energy from the energy vortexes and sends these energies outwards into the environment.
The Bio-field
The above components of the subtle energy system collectively make up the subtle energy field of the human body. This subtle energy field that functions alongside the more established systems of the human body may be termed "bio-field."
Dr Beverly Rubik, a bio-physicist and an advisory panel member to the National Institutes of Health in the United States, was instrumental in establishing the term bio-field. According to Dr Rubik these forms of energy are crucial to health. Dr.Rubik defines the bio-field as a "complex, extremely weak electro-magnetic field of the organism hypothesized to involve electro-magnetic bio-information for regulating homeo dynamics." According to Rubik's definition these energy forms help maintain the proper functioning of the human body. More significantly, the acceptance and recognition of this definition provides a scientific explanation for energy medicine. It offers the rationale in energy medicine therapies like acupuncture, bio-field therapies, electromagnetic therapies and homeopathy.
The bio-field was first measured scientifically by Professor Harold Saxton Burr from Yale University. This finding has been demonstrated by other researchers as well. Scientists have proposed that the bio-field could contain information about an organism. They suggest that the manner in which information is distributed throughout the organism is similar to the way a holographic plate transmits information throughout a hologram. To understand more about the subtle energy field or bio-field let us study how this energy fields works.
Mechanism of Action
The idea that energy fields influence physical development is beginning to gain acceptance. The increasing number of studies in this field confirms this. In the early 20th century, Prof Harold Saxton Burr and Dr. Leonard Ravitz from the prestigious Yale University's School of Medicine published numerous reports describing this bio-field of energy surrounding every living creature.
Prof. Burr, who was a Professor of Anatomy at the Yale University School of Medicine, conducted many experiments on this bio-magnetic field. He was trying to establish means to measure the field surrounding living things. He also hoped to identify the characteristics and properties ofthis field that surrounded all living things. Or life fields is important for health. Disturbance of these fields by factors such as stress, exposure to mutagenic agents and other negative influences can lead to the development of disease.
Burr's experiments yielded interesting results. He discovered that the bio-field surrounding the unfertilized egg of a salamander was similar to the bio-field of a mature salamander. This led Burr to infer that all living creatures had their own fields of energy which he called Life-fields (L-fields). Based on this, it would suggest that when the fields of energy around a living organism were altered, the health status of that organism would be affected. Coming from the premise that the plan for the adult salamander was already outlined in the egg's energy field (the salamander egg case mentioned above), Burr reasoned that the appearance of irregular fields of energy would manifest before the appearance of any abnormal growth. These findings hold important consequences for preventive medicine. Since life energy irregularities present themselves long before the actual appearance of disease, preventive medicine can help detect and fix this imbalance before the start of the diseased state.
Correlation between Bio-energy Field and Health
The bio-energy field of a human is made up of a network of energetic potentials. These energetic potentials enhance the biological field of the human body. The status of these energetic potentials in turn depend on the conditions of physical and psychic health. For health to be present the energetic balance must be maintained in the bio-energy system.
Rupert Sheldrake, a bio-chemist, makes reference to these fields of energy in his book "A New Science of Life." Sheldrake refers to these energy fields as "morphic resonance." These energy fields or bio-field offer a kind of plan or blue print to the cells of the body, thus guiding the physical body in growth and development. The bio-field contains both energy information and is also like invisible scaffolding, upon which the physical body grows. Since this subtle network of energy fields surrounding the body is vital in the growth and development of the physical body, it follows that irregular networks of energy fields can impact the growth of the physical body adversely. Developing this idea, it would seem that the beginning of disease does not have its roots in one's body cells or tissues but rather stems from disturbances in the energy fields surrounding the human body. It is these irregular fields that lead to the growth of abnormal cell structures. Hence, the maintenance of these energy fields.
Energetic balance and constant free flow of energy are important factors in one's health and well-being. Positive energy flows freely in energy systems bringing vitality and health. Obstructed, stale or unbalanced energy is the result of negative fields of energy. When energy pathways are blocked, free flow of vital energy is prevented. This brings about an imbalance to the energy system and can lead to diseases.
Factors that can affect the Body's Bio-field
Many factors can affect the optimum functioning of the body's bio-field. Any form of stress whether physical, emotional, mental or environmental can compromise the health of the bio-field. Extreme stress can compromise the harmony and balance of the biofield. Researchers report that energy imbalances and blockages occur in the bio-field due to trauma, abuse, deficiencies, outside pathogens or auto-intoxication and immune dysfunction. Other factors that affect the health of the bio-field include the possible contamination of our metabolic energy supplies.
The human body is also subject to various man-made electromagnetic fields. These electromagnetic fields are of a different waveform, coherence and frequency to natural electromagnetic fields and their effects on the human body are only just beginning to be understood. These unnatural (man-made) fields of energy are yet another form of pollution that impacts the body negatively.
However, the human body is not affected negatively by naturally present electromagnetic fields. In fact, it is believed that these electro-magnetic fields may be essential for proper growth and development of the human body. Unlike naturally present electromagnetic fields in the atmosphere, manmade electromagnetic fields are a source of concern as these fields have the ability to affect ones health.
There is a growing body of research that point towards an increase in some types of cancer on exposure to these high intensity electro-magnetic fields. The main source of concern lies with alternating currents. These alternating currents may generate electromagnetic fields that pulse at 60 cycles per second. This frequency may influence the health of human cells. Living in this era of technological development, man is constantly being bombarded by unnatural electro-magnetic fields produced by the various household electrical appliances.
Apart from man-made natural fields, certain geographic regions also emanate fields that can have adverse effects on the human body. Some underground streams and underground crystalline deposits may produce abnormal magnetic fields that can have a negative impact on man's health. These fields may contribute to what is referred to as geopathic stress; a condition that affects living systems and seems to come from abnormal energy fields produced by the earth itself. There is now a growing body of evidence that seems to link geopathic stress and cancer.
