This page is for people who
want technical/scientific information. People who are only interested
in the therapeutic effects of electro-crystal therapy may find
it a bit too technical and involved.
Electro-Crystal Therapy
uses electromagnetic energy applied in specific ways to achieve
the rebalancing of the electric fields of living organisms.
The electromagnetic spectrum covers
a vast range of frequencies from zero hertz (cycles per second)
with direct current to 1023 hertz with cosmic rays.
Within this spectrum there are frequency
bands that the human organs are 'tuned in' to. Frequency 'windows'
that are not so obvious but are most important for Electro-Crystal
Therapy are those of the energy centres of the body or chakras
which extend from 1 Hz to 45 kHz. Within the pulses are higher
frequency components that contribute to the wave shape.
To appreciate better how Electro-Crystal
Therapy works it is necessary to go into some details of electromagnetism.
Electromagnetic (EM) waves are similar in many ways to waves that
form in a body of water. If a stone is dropped into a pond, waves
will radiate out in concentric circles from the point of impact
on the surface of the water. These waves are alternating peaks
and troughs. Waveforms have four characteristics: wavelength,
frequency, amplitude and velocity of propagation. The wavelength
is the distance between the peaks; the frequency is the number
of complete cycles occurring in on second; the amplitude is the
maximum displacement of the wave; the velocity of propagation
is at, or very close to, the speed of light, because EM waves
require no material medium for their propagation.
There is a relationship between frequency
and wavelength. The lower the frequency the longer the wavelength
and conversely, the higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength.

Unlike EM waves, sound waves require a material medium for their
transmission, either gas, liquid or solid. Sound cannot travel
through a vacuum. The velocity of propagation of sound waves
varies with the density of the medium. For example: a sound
will travel faster in a solid than in a gas or a liquid because
in a solid the molecules are more densely packed. Movement of
the molecules in the same direction as the sound wave will cause
an increase in pressure in the medium, and movement in the opposite
direction will cause a decrease in pressure. A sound pressure
wave in which the molecules of the transmitting medium are moving
parallel to the direction of the wave is called a longitudinal
wave. EM waves have a transverse wave motion.
Within the audible
frequency range we find frequencies that are pleasant to hear.
We have called these musical notes. They extend from 27.5 Hz
to 7 040 Hz on the piano keyboard. Each musical note has a fundamental
frequency. If a thin wire, clamped a both ends is plucked and
set vibrating a wave will travel along the wire. This wave is
then reflected in the opposite direction because the two ends
of the wire are unable to move. The fundamental frequency of
the wire is represented by a single closed loop. The wire can
also vibrate at twice the frequency producing two closed loops
which is the second harmonic. The third harmonic is three closed
loops, etc. The harmonic of each successive wave is half the
amplitude of its predecessor.
For a more detailed
examination of harmonics in Electro-Crystal Therapy refer to
Harry Oldfield's book "The Dark Side of the Brain".
The electroscanning
method (ESM) uses sound to detect observations in life fields.
Sound is measured in units of decibels. The decibel (dB) scale
is logarithmic not linear. This means that each division on
the scale represents a 10 fold increase in amplitude over its
predecessor. The intensity of a sound is measured by comparing
its power, P, with the power of a sound that is only just audible,
P0.
This is represented by the equation: number of dB = 10log10(P/P0)

Resonance is a phenomenon
that is familiar in the field of acoustics and radio technologies. All
objects vibrate at different frequencies and can be stimulated to do
so by sound waves of the same frequency. The maximum response is found
when the frequency of the stimulus equals the natural frequency of the
object.
An example of the healing effect of resonance
can be found in homoeopathy. A remedy is selected by its characteristics
matching the symptoms of the patient (law of similars). The remedy represents
the frequency of signal. However, to achieve maximum effect the remedy
must be administered in the correct potency. Resonance is not a localised
effect. A radio receiver can be many miles from the transmitter and
a signal will still be received.
Inductance is a localised effect. A current
is induced in a conductor by a magnetic field. It was as long ago as
1819 that Hans Oersted demonstrated that an electric current passing
along a thin wire caused a magnetic field to be set up concentric with
the wire. This principle is used in reverse to generate electric current
when a coil is rotated in a magnetic field and an electric current flows
through the coil induced by this magnetic field.
Electro-Crystal Therapy uses both resonance
and induction. An EM current is induced into the patient through the
attached electrodes and the induced wave forms have to be matched to
the needs of the patient in both frequency and amplitude for maximum
effect.
