Differentiation of the term "bioresonance"

A report by Michael Galle and Andre Rasche (March 2015, August 2021)

Introduction

The term "bioresonance" encompasses a wide variety of methods. To the untrained eye, many of them appear similar, but in reality, the methods are based on fundamentally different models. Below, we provide a basic and simplified characterization of the term according to our current understanding on the physical, technical, and clinical levels.

All the methods mentioned postulate resonance-like information transfers in which at least one participant is a living system, hence "bio-resonance".

In all these methods, the actual physical-physiological mechanism of action of the observed biological and physical effects is unknown. So far, only hypothetical explanatory models exist.

The following classification is based on the presumed or actual physical mechanism of action.

Devices and methods with a classic physical mode of action

The information flow takes place through postulated or measurable electromagnetic oscillations with corresponding physical-technical hardware.

Artificially produced electromagnetic oscillations (not inverted, i.e. in phase)

Frequency generators with external oscillations. These artificially generate oscillations, such as simulated environmental or bacterial vibrations. To our current knowledge, there are no positive controlled clinical studies on this topic.

Devices with stored, postulated endogenous vibrations. Human vibrations are stored and later played back. To our current knowledge, there are no positive controlled clinical studies on this.

Natural electromagnetic oscillations (inverted and non-inverted, i.e. in-phase or phase-inverted)

This application utilizes postulated endogenous vibrations of the human body , meaning those emitted internally by the person or animal themselves. It is a mirror application on the electromagnetic level: electromagnetic signals are picked up from the body and immediately returned to it. This creates destructive or constructive interference and results in resonance phenomena.

This class includes classical bioresonance, which is the method we use. To the best of our knowledge, there are a number of positive controlled clinical trials and controlled animal studies whose level of evidence meets university standards. In addition, there are positive placebo-controlled studies.

Applications involving postulated vibrations of bioactive substances (exogenous vibrations), meaning those introduced to the human body from the outside, where the external vibration is not artificially generated, include electroacupuncture in diagnostics. To our current knowledge, a number of positive controlled clinical trials and controlled animal studies exist, the level of evidence of which meets university standards. Furthermore, positive placebo-controlled studies are available.

Information flow through postulated, natural electromagnetic oscillations; no conventional physical technical hardware

(postulated information transfer through direct interference of the substance vibrations with the human electromagnetic field)

Bioresonance according to Paul Schmidt. A subtle energy frequency is generated via an antenna that is rotated relative to itself. Paul Schmidt compared this frequency to that of a biotensor and a frequency generator. Specific antenna positions relative to each other then result in a postulated frequency. These frequencies are applied based on experience to treat certain conditions. An initial clinical study has been completed.

Biotensors with test ampoules. To our current knowledge, there are no positive controlled studies on this.

Kinesiology using test ampoules. To our current knowledge, there are no positive controlled studies on this.

Devices and methods with non-classical physical mode of action

Information flow through postulated coupling of individual and/or universal fields of consciousness, e.g. morphogenetic fields according to Sheldrake; no classical physical-technical hardware.

Radionics (“psychobiophysics”) and so-called scanner systems : To our current knowledge, there are no positive controlled studies on these.

Mental Kinesiology: To our current knowledge, there are no positive controlled studies on this topic.

Bioresonators and biotensors with mental testing. To our current knowledge, there are no positive controlled studies on this.

The crucial question now is: Why is a device used in these procedures at all?
The answer: The device is merely a tool or vehicle to reinforce belief in the human mind's capacity for better interaction with individual and/or universal fields of consciousness. Such a device has no classic physical-technical functions. Extensive research in Russia by Mr. Nesterov shows that the results of the random number generator improve when the test subject and tester are subjected to stress. Therefore, such devices operate using visual, auditory, and electromagnetic stress.

Conclusion

Based on our current knowledge, the classical form of bioresonance is the method within this field for which clinical and further scientific studies at university level exist. This also applies, to some extent, to EAP electroacupuncture at the diagnostic level.

Final comment

In our experience, the fundamental differences between the methods described here are little known outside of specialist circles. The basic differences between classical bioresonance and radionics are often overlooked.

Especially in radionics, it is often suggested that it involves a classical physical information transfer. According to our understanding of the models of action, this is not the case.

Most radionics practitioners unconsciously work with consciousness, and it seems to work. However, after being made aware of the underlying mechanisms, the devices often stop working. They need the devices to focus their consciousness. Of course, they can do this without the devices, but they lack this awareness.

My advice, therefore, is this: If you want to practice radionics, do it consciously. Then you won't need any equipment for it.
