PART 4: THE REFINEMENTS OF EPC ANALYSISNoise level The ‘noise level’ is an important indicator of state. It characterizes the degree of clarification of the EPC image when compared against the background. Bañkground radiance is formed on the basis of two main factors: - Electronic noise of the CCD matrix - Dispersed glow of the investigated item (finger). Electronic noise is an inherent to any optical electrical device, and one of the ways of combating it is to cool the device. In EPC systems, the signal level significantly exceeds the noise level, and cooling is not needed. Isolating the images from the background is done by computer-processing the image with a choice of the determined level of noise or level of refinement. This process is clearly visible in EPC programs, for example EPC Diagram, using the Noise parameter. If this level is set to 0, then the image would be practically invisible against the background level (Fig.1.11). We set this parameter to 40%. As we can see, (Fig.1.12), various images were refined in different ways. This is even more clearly visible when the noise level is at 45% (Fig.1.13):1R,2R have a low level of noise, whilst all the L fingers have a high level. At 70%, noise remains contained within some EPC-grams – 2R,1L,2L,5L. (Fig.1.14). With 100% noise level the images are almost totally ‘clean’ (Fig.1.15). However, if this level were to rise further, some of the details of the image would begin to be lost. (Fig.1.16). We recommend an ‘absolute noise level’ parameter which should be set between 15 and 55, depending on the quality of the initial image. This makes it possible to obtain clean images, without loss of significant elements. The second important conclusion from studying the example is that the noise level depends on the activity of the physiological system. It characterizes the level of dispersed bio-photon emission from the cutaneous covering. The more active the system, the stronger the level of this background emission. It can be characteristic both of the activity of physiological systems and the stress level. Example III 0816 J, woman, 39 years old. Looking at the field image, we can see a very unusual wF picture: a strong rosy glow, particularly on the left side of the body, linked with the right half of the brain. It should be noted that this glow cannot be seen on the F picture. This pictures corresponds to the strong background radiance of the EPC-grams of fingers wF, and to the normal F image. The EPC diagram is situated in the upper limits of the optimal zone. Such images may be interpreted as showing a state of total nervousness and total disorganisation of the ANS regulation. As we can see from F pictures, no organic changes are seen, although a whole series of apparent symptoms is to be expected: bowel spasms, spinal pain, migraines, poor sleep, nightmares and so forth. All of these suspicions were confirmed during discussion with the patient. She was in a state of extreme nervous excitement, with the symptoms described above clearly apparent. However, during standard analyses no organic abnormalities were detected. Fig..1.11. Processing with 0 noise level. Fig..1.12. Processing with 40 noise level. Fig..1.13. Processing with 45 noise level. Fig..1.14. Processing with 70 noise level. Fig..1.15. Processing with 100 noise level. Fig..1.16. Processing with 200 noise level. This state of disorganisation of the autonomicregulation system inevitably leads to organic abnormalities in the weakest systems. Yet this state may be corrected by applying methods to regulate the nervous system: mental training, yoga, Tsi-Gun and so on, combined with calming homeopathic remedies. NB: In order to discover the level of noise linked to the patient’s state, rather than to the particularities of image processing, it is necessary to set one and the same absolute noise level in all EPC programs (we recommend levels 15-55). EPC-grams of the calibration subject must be processed using the same parameters. Sectorial analysis of EPC-grams The idea that different fingers and toes carry information about the functional state of organs and the body has been well-known in Oriental medicine since ancient times. In traditional Chinese medicine, all the fundamental energy meridians begin and end with the fingers and toes. Acupuncture points on the fingers and toes can provide information about the working of the body, and can influence its conditions. In traditional Korean medicine one of the most important methods is correction of the body’s state through the fingers. This method became famous in the West thanks to Professor Pak-Dzhe-Woo, by the name of ‘Su Jock’. In bioelectrography, the first table showing the links between the glow of sectors of the fingers and the systems and organs of the body was put forward by Peter Mandel in 1986 [Mandel, 1986]. Since then, this principle was further developed as the ‘principle of sectorial analysis’. In accordance with this principle, the fingers and toes reflect information about the physiological state of various organs and systems of the body. The transmission of this information may be well founded from the point of view of two polar systems: traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and classic neurophysiology. In accordance with the principles of TCM, the fingers are ‘linked’ with the organs by energy channels or ‘meridians’. There have been many attempts to make the understanding of meridians well-grounded in terms of Western science, but up till now nothing has been proved conclusively. Yet in innumerable experiments it was shown that changes in the physiological state of individual organs leads to a change in the electrical resistance of the corresponding acupuncture points. From the point of view of neurophysiology, the sensor zones of all organs are located in one region of the cerebrum, together with the sensor zones of fingers and toes. []. So the brain presents a unified system, and information which excites the nerve unit in a particular area of the brain can influence the nerve units in neighbouring regions of the brain. So theoretically the fingers and toes are not only able to pass sensorial information to the brain, but can also receive it. However, all of these arguments would have remained speculative if they could not be clinically proven. Nearly all sectors used in sectorial diagnostic charts of the EPC method of bioelectrography were substantiated during medical trials. Yet there were considerable discrepancies between the EPC bioelectrography sectorial analysis charts and Peter Mandel’s tables. Work on substantiating sectorial analysis took over 10 years, with the participation of specialists from Russian and US medical institutions. Hundreds of patients were studied in many different areas. Some of the data were published in articles and reports, and many of the conclusions were formulated in the context of regular EPC seminars. Yet the substantiating of the sectors was not an end in itself for the research carried out; rather, it was a natural consequence of the latter. It is hard to list all the work done, so just a few will be referred to here. In the major work cycle of the Department of Bronchial Asthma of the St Petersburg State Medical University, carried out under the direction of R.A. Aleksandrova, M.D., Ph.D., showed the link between the lungs, bronchi and endocrine system to the corresponding sectors 4, 5th of the fingers [Aleksandrova, 2002]. In work done by the Rostov Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology to analyze the state of the female reproductive system, the lower sectors of the 4th fingers were used [Gimbut, 2000]. In work by the St Petersburg Military Medical Academy, most of the material showed that the state of the digestive organs was reflected in the 2nd fingers [Polushin et al., 2002]. In the series of work on osteopathy, it was shown that the 2nd fingers reflected information on the status of the spinal cord [Vestnik, 2001]. In work carried out over many years under the direction of Prof. P.V. Bundzen, in the majority of sportsmen tested it was shown that the psycho-emotional reaction was most clearly reflected on the EPC-grams of the 4th fingers [Bundzen et al., 1998, 2003, 2005]. That is why these particular fingers are used for dynamic tests when the body has a reaction to different stimuli. A large quantity of experimental data to substantiate sectorial analysis was published in conference work on bioelectrography carried out between 1996 and 2005. [Works, 1999-2005]. At the same time it should be noted that sectorial analysis is systemic in nature. This means that systematic autonomicdysfunction, as a rule, reflects well on EPC-grams of the fingers for patients with I and II level Homeostasis. Heterogeneity and defects of wF images characterize the autonomic imbalance of specific systems: • the gastro-intestinal tract; • the cardiovascular system; • the nervous system; • the endocrine system; • the urino-genitary system; • the spinal cord; • the liver, kidneys and prostate. As far as individual organs such as the eyes, ears, teeth, parts of the gastro-intestinal tract or parts of the heart are concerned, the nature of the information presented on the fingers is far more complex. In a number of cases there are clear signs in the corresponding sectors, although it is not always possible to make them out from the general picture. The analysis requires more experience and intuition. We would ask you to exercise the greatest accuracy when carrying out such an analysis. It is far more reliable to remain at the level of system analysis. At adaptation levels III and IV, sectorial analysis does not work. Pathological signs may appear on any finger, regardless of the organ in question. Clearly, this is linked to the loss of the information link between organs and fingers. All that can be said of this is that there appears to be a general level of systemic abnormalities. This question was studied during the discussion of an understanding of adaptation levels. In all Eastern systems, the information is reflected in the fingers and toes. In Peter Mandel’s photographic system, gas-discharge photographs are taken simultaneously of the fingers and toes, which are then subjected to visual analysis. The fingers carry information about the body’s main systems and organs, while the toes supplement this information. In EPC only the fingers are used, which makes it possible to obtain the basic information required. The EPC+ setup makes it possible to obtain EPC-grams of the toes, although the law of analysis for this information was not perfected clinically. This problem may be solved in future research. EPC Camera PRO and EPC Compact devices make it possible to take EPC-grams of the fingers one after the other, in sequence. In EPC bioelectrography a system for taking EPC-grams was adopted, starting with the thumb of the right hand, then the left. The first device able to capture all ten fingers simultaneously was created recently. Research carried out so far has failed to find any significant difference between the nature of the information received during simultaneous or sequential captures. It is true, however, that the volume of data obtained has so far been insufficient to allow definite conclusions to be drawn. Basic rules of EPC analysis In order to analyze correctly the physiological state, i.e. the level of energy of the organs and the systems (or in other words, the level of autonomic regulation, in accordance with the adaptation levels) it is necessary to take the following steps: 1) Calibrate the EPC device and EPC programs at least four times a year, or if conditions change, e.g. removal to another site, change of computer, severe change in atmospheric conditions. Calibration must also be performed if ‘unusual’ results are obtained. 2) Check the capture parameters in the EPC Camera (in accordance with the device instructions) and the processing parameters in programs. Changing the reprocessing parameters leads to distorted results. 3) Take EPC images of the patient at least 2 hours after the consumption of a large quantity of food, without alcohol or strong medicines. Some medicines will have an effect on the nature of the energy. It is advisable to empty the bladder and bowels before capturing begin. 4) Do not wash hands or wipe with alcohol before taking EPC images. If the hands are very dirty, wash and wait a further 15 minutes. 5) In the case of sweaty hands, wipe each finger individually and then take EPC images. 6) Before taking EPC images it is advisable to allow the patient to relax for 15 minutes, drink water (but not tea or coffee) and sit in relaxing surroundings with tranquil music. 7) Capturing can continue all day if the conditions are observed (3). It should be borne in mind that some people, particularly the young, demonstrate a ‘medical reaction’ which manifests itself as a stress reaction on the measurement process. 8) Before each measurement, the optic lens of the EPC device must be wiped. 9) If unusual EPC-grams are obtained in the EPC Capture, it is necessary to repeat the measurement of the patient and be sure that the results are precise. 10) It is necessary to use a new filter for taking EPC images of ten fingers of each patient. Make sure that the filter is placed accurately and is straight, and that it is unbroken before taking the EPC image. 11) Repeated capturing may lead to varying results. In the case of decreased clarity, this testifies to weak energy, and in the case of uneven changes of the EPC-gram, this is an indicator of the deregulation of adaptation levels. In any case, it is necessary to carry out a series of repeat measurements and draw conclusions accordingly. If desired, the EPC Chakra program may also be used, which reflects the activity of the Centres of Autonomic Regulation. 12) Each series of EPC images must be taken both with and without filter. 13) Different EPC programs reflect different aspects of a person’s energy status. EPC-grams must be processed in all programs and it is advisable to print out the following: EPC-grams of all fingers without filter; EPC-grams of all fingers with filter; EPC diagrams; All EPC EF projections. 14) When classifying EPC data by adaptation level, we look at the following factors: Specific features on EPC-grams wF and F; Distribution of EPC diagrams wF and F. 15) The H homeostasis zone is characterized as follows: EPC wF have a small number of defects; EPC F have no defects; DwF and DF lie in the optimal zone; The level of activation O<A≤6; Diagram variance < 0.5. 16) The HS homeostasis zone is characterized as follows: EPC wF have defects; EPC F do not have substantial defects, but are more heterogeneous than in I a.l. DwF lie totally or partially in the energy deficit zone; DF have energy deficit zones; R-L imbalance; Level of activation 2.5 ≤ À ≤ 10; Diagram variance > 0.5; In H and HS homeostasis zones, we apply sectorial analysis. 17) The P homeostasis zone is characterized as follows: EPC wF have a specific ‘partial-continuous’ appearance or are distinguished by a large number of defects on all fingers; EPC F have a specific ‘cloudy’ structure in a number of sectors. The more sectors there are with this structure, the worse the condition. EPC F have a large number of defects and homogeneity. wF and F diagrams lie in the upper limit of the optimal zone or outwith it. The level of activation is of to no purpose. 18) The ASC homeostasis zone is characterized as follows: EPC wF have specific defects in the form of individual blotches, branches or double rings. EPC F can have the same appearance as is characteristic of H and P homeostasis zones, whilst also being distinguished by a large quantity of ‘blanks-holes’. Diagrams wF have the typical ‘starry’ appearance. The sectorial diagnosis in III and IV a.l. can be applied with greater accuracy. 19) The high level of ‘background’ noise is typical of increased physiological activity in the body’s systems, linked to the high level of activation. 20) During analysis, the age of the patient should be taken into account; this issue will be dealt with later. 21) The types of EPC-grams, reviewed in the book Human Energy Field: Study with EPC-bioelectrography, are inherent to all levels of activation and are a compound element of the means of interpretation carried out in this method. They can be used during specification, however in this case we did use this so as not to confuse perception, and we left out the complicated text. Following the specific practice, the EPC method makes it possible to carry out a reasonably accurate analysis of the physical and psychological state of the patient. To a large extent, the accuracy of the analysis depends on the depth of understanding of systemic principles of how the body works, and whether it is perceived as a unified, holistic, indivisible system. In order to work out such an approach, some knowledge of the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is very helpful. They are based on the idea of the circulation of energy, and these ideas are fully reflected in the practice of EPC bioelectrography. We gauge the movement of energy through systems and organs, and in many examples we can see the direct reflection of the principles of TCM. In addition, knowledge of these principles facilitates the development of clinical intuition, and, by placing reasonable trust in one’s own ‘inner voice’, it is possible to make an accurate and in many cases unexpected analysis based on EPC data. Many doctors who have used EPC over many years have said similar things. Trust the information provided by the EPC data without concerning yourself with the outward appearance of the patient. In the case of systemic illnesses, appearance is deceptive. EPC pictures give authentic information on the person’s energy state. At the same time, we support the path of analysis developed by M Shaduri based on the intuitive identification of images of organs in EPC images. This path is based on intuitive guesswork, and EPC images play the same role as Tarot cards - by giving information to those with a gift – but they are not an objective means of analysis. Monitoring of condition during treatment EPC bioelectrography is a unique method for monitoring the condition of the patient during any kind of influence. The capture is non-invasive, does not affect the condition, and can be done without restrictions. There are two basic monitoring methods: - Periodic captures of all 10 fingers with filter and without; - Capture of one finger (4L, 4R) during a set period of time, in automatic mode, at 10-15 second intervals, without filter. Fingers 4L and 4R reflect the condition of the endocrine system, and as shown by the factorial analysis method (Bundzen et al., 2003, 2005), are more sensitive to a low-level intervention. Straight after the intervention (e.g. taking of medicines, therapy, massage, Reiki, etc.), it is necessary to wait a further 15-30 minutes for the effect of the influence to register. Straight after therapy there is a reaction by the autonomous and central nervous system, and time is needed for the condition to stabilise. Basic changes can be observed in wF, and the most demonstrable means is the structure of the EPC diagrams. It is equally important to monitor changes in EF, as much for reactions of individual systems and organs as for collective comparison of parameters in the new version of the program. Where the correct treatment has been selected, the field pictures before and after treatment help the patient to believe that the treatment is effective, which turn increases its degree of success. Taking EPC images of one finger is a sensitive method of registration of subconscious reactions to influence. It can be used for the selection of medication, according to the following protocol: 1) Taking EPC images of 10 fingers, wF and F. 2) Determination of risk zone (for example, thyroid gland – 1L, 1R). 3) Taking EPC images of 1R, 1L fingers wF 10 times. (Choice of finger depends on identified risk zone). 4) Selection of medication (for example, homeopathy). 5) Patient holds medication in unopened packaging in left hand, 1R wF taken 10 times. 6) Patient holds medication in right hand, 1L wF taken 10 times. 7) Images before and after test are compared with programs EPC Sci Lab or EPC Processor. 8) The patient takes sealed bottles of clean water and holds them for 5 minutes. 9) Measurements (3) – (6) should be repeated with another medication if necessary. An effectiveness criterion is the disappearance of pathological indicators. A timing test can be applied if required to identify statistically significant reactions of the autonomous nervous system to stimulus. Whilst recording the timing test, ensure that the hands are comfortably placed, as the elbow should be resting on a comfortable support. Dynamic EPC capture The recording of EPC-grams from the hands or other objects over a set period of time, without changing the position of the object on the electrode, is called dynamic EPC capture (DC EPC). During this process, AVI files are recorded at a frame rate of 30 frames per second. The capture time can range from 10 seconds to several minutes. DC EPC is applied in a set order when examining liquids, plants and materials. In the next section you will find the protocol and results of a number of examinations of materials using the EPC method. DC EPC of the fingers is applied when special experiments are being carried out. For this mode, it is preferable to use the EPC device for simultaneous recording of the glow of 10 fingers of the person. DC EPC is a sensitive method for the detection of energy resources in the system. Analysis of psychological condition Numerous experiments on large groups of sportsmen [Bundzen et al., 2003, 2005] and the population of various countries [Kondrat'ev, 2005; Measuring Energy Fields, 2004], have shown that EPC parameters have good statistical correlation with the results of psychological tests. This then led to the conclusion that EPC parameters can be used to determine the psychological characteristics of a person. The first positive results were received after the EPC Activation program had been widely tested. The program makes it possible to identify the level of activation of the nervous system, i.e. the level of tension to the point of stress. The parameter of activation is one of the most important methods for analysing the psycho-physiological state of a person. It makes it possible to identify the state of tension and pay particular attention to correcting these states during treatment. Stress is one of the negative factors in our civilization, and continual stress, distress, worry, irritability and anger inevitably lead to the development of pathological states. The activation-stress coefficient is calculated in the EPC Diagram program on the basis of the comparison of parameters DwF and DF. As we have seen from the analysis above, this parameter works well for H and HS homeostasis zones, and in a number of cases for ASC zones, but is of no use for the P homeostasis zone. This is connected to the fact that the activation parameter reflects the level of regulation from the ANS, but in the ASC homeostasis zone, this regulation is lacking. The EPC Tolerance program makes it possible to calculate another set of psychological characteristics on the basis of mathematical analysis of the entropy and fractality of the EPC-grams of 10 fingers wF and F. This program was verified during the major test series. F. Sanchez from Spain elaborated an approach for assessing the psychological characteristics on the basis of chakra parameters [Fernando Sanchez, 2000]. Ayurvedic medicine describes the correlations of chakra states and psychological types. The EPC Chakra program gives a good assessment of energy charkas which correlates with the expert opinions of Indian specialists. This approach is worthy of attention and development. Visual analysis of the field pictures and diagrams also makes it possible to carry out a number of psychological assessments. They are based on the typification of states depending on the type of energy and the activation level, and are fairly approximate. A number of characteristic indicators should be taken into consideration here. The activation of the right diagram and right side of the body on the field picture is linked to the left hemisphere of the cerebral cortex. The activation of the left diagram and left side of the body on the field picture is linked to the right hemisphere of the cerebral cortex. The left brain governs logic, speech, behaviour control, business and optimism. The right brain governs emotions, feelings, subconscious perception of activities, intuition, artistry and pessimism. Accordingly, if there is a clear bias of R and L activity, one can boldly put the person down as having this or that set of psychological characteristics. A lot has already been written describing the influence of the R and L side of the brain on a person’s behaviour, and it is worth your while familiarizing yourself with this before carrying out the analysis. The next level of psychological assessment is linked to the analysis of the activity of individual fingers. With great caution it is possible to link these with various areas of a person’s psychological activity. The thumb: the head; characteristic of intellectual activity. The index finger: ability to express oneself and influence others. Middle finger: secretiveness, perseverance, self-confidence. Fourth finger: emotionality, sensitivity, libido. Little finger: warmth of feeling, relations with other, sensitivity. These correlations are very approximate and are only intended to give an indication. Each level of homeostasis is linked with a certain psychological state. This is determined by the influence of the level of energy on a person’s behaviour, which can facilitate the manifestation or suppression of one or another psychological quality. H homeostasis zone – powerful, strong, consistent character, receptive to the affects of others through own ideas. HS homeostasis zone – person given to panic, doubts and anxiety, whose degree of influence is determined by the level of activity. It should be noted that the ‘holes’ in the field picture characterise the openness of the psyche to external influences and the influence of others. P homeostasis zone – reticence, closed off when unsure inside or during fight. Complicated psychological points in life. ASC homeostasis zone – altered states of consciousness, special psychological states including psychological denial. Influence of others, split personality, high level of emotional stress. These indicators, when taken as a whole, enable us to carry out a psychological analysis which reflects well the person’s inner world. The main advantage of this approach is that psychological assessments are made on the basis of data from objective measurements, irrespective of the person’s desire to present him or herself in a particular light. The developed programmatic and expert methods for assessing psychological states make the EPC method a unique instrument for psychological and psychiatric practice. Using EPC parameters when analysing data In various EPC programs more than 20 independent parameters are calculated. The principles of their computation have been studied in articles, books and dissertations, as well as program descriptions. It is for this reasons that I wish to discuss the possibilities of examining EPC parameters, both for the practical work of doctors and in research activity. In the everyday work of a doctor, EPC parameters can be used for two purposes: Express analysis of the overall condition of the patient, as well as individual organs and systems; Monitoring of parameters during treatment. Parametric analysis of the condition is done by comparing parameters of the given patient with a corridor of norms (range of norms). This corridor depends on age and, in some cases, sex. Numerous studies have shown that the most constant EPC parameter is the JS coefficient from the EPC Diagram program. In accordance with calculation principles, it does not depend on the size or position of the finger, and compares well when various types of capture and various devices are used. As we have already seen from the examples cited above, the parameters of EPC diagrams reflect well the body’s reaction to influence, treatment and surgery, whilst remaining stable. The range of norms for this parameter was determined on the basis of statistical analysis of a large quantity of data of apparently healthy people in various countries. These ranges are presented by way of a middle zone in the curves of diagrams. In this particular program, another important parameter is calculated: the diagram variation coefficient RMS. It is shown in brackets near to the JS value. For a normal state, this RMS coefficient < 0.35. When RMS > 0.5, we are dealing with a highly variable condition which typifies the instability of autonomicregulation. When using parameters JS and RMS, the following points should be taken into account: ¬¬– Diagrammatic analysis carries information on the state of health only for I and II H.L. – It is necessary to ensure that calibration has been performed correctly. Incorrect calibration completely distorts the parameters of the EPC diagram. – All processing, including calibration, must be done with the same noise level. When comparing data collected at different points in time, theoretically it is necessary to use the corresponding parameters of the calibrating cylinder taken at the same time as the EPC data. The latest versions of EPC Diagram allow for this by re-calibrating for each set of data wF and F. At the same time, if you use the EPC device in the same place, with stable room conditions, calibration parameters hardly change at all, and it is not necessary to recalculate them for every capture. An important parameter is the image surface area. Obviously it is used when comparing data from one and the same person from different points in time. This possibility has been realised in the latest version of the program EPC EF. Examples are given in the PART describing the results of the expeditions. Comparison of the areas of EPC-grams from different people requires great accuracy, as the area depends on the size of the finger. Moreover, this parameter can also be used with great accuracy in practical work. For example, in the work of Venezuelan colleagues [Olalde et al., 2005] it was accepted that a surface area of less than 21 000 pixels is an indicator of degenerative inflammations. This criterion was used successfully when analysing treatment data. The noise coefficient typifies the level of energy activity of the physiological systems. It is calculated during image processing and characterizes the quantity of background pixels removed during clean-up. We have already looked at the significance of ‘noise’ parameters for condition assessment above. NB: All EPC parameters depend on the selected level of ‘noise’ processing and on the settings of the camera during capture process. Make sure that these settings are constant. Entropy is a measure of diversification. High entropy signals chaos and low entropy signals death. Like many of the body’s parameters, entropy values must be within the range of norms. At the current time the limits of this range are being determined on the basis of a new, enlarged database. In all processes, be they physical, chemical or biological, entropy increases. Living organisms reduce their own entropy by using energy from the environment. It is said that living organisms produce negative entropy or ‘neg-entropy’. In EPC programs, the absolute information entropy of images is calculated. Of greater practical significance is the specific information entropy relating to the unit of the image surface area. When therapy is performed correctly, EPC entropy reduces. The intensity of glow characterizes the clarity of radiance of the whole image or of individual parts. This parameter is measured by the computer in relative units from 0 (totally black) to 225 (totally white). Comparing data from a single person, or group participants taken in different moments in time, according to the clarity of EPC images, is a convenient and visually effective method. It is automatically done in EPC EF program. Examples are given in the PART devoted to expeditions. The remaining EPC parameters are mainly used when doing a statistical data analysis. In the programs EPC Sci Lab and EPC Diagram, a large number of sets of parameters are computed, and these parameters are used for factor and correlation analysis, whose principles of application require special training. Energy fields, meridians and chakras All of the principles cited are based on concepts of Western science and Western medicine. The disenchanted reader interjects, “But where is all the charm of fields, energies, meridians and energy channels? For all those years we studied the Kirlian effect and EPC so as to be able to measure these mysterious yet appealing parameters. Has all that really been forgotten and lost?” Of course not. We do not intend to turn away from the axioms and catchwords advanced in previous years. We have more grounds than ever for continuing to affirm that we really are objectively measuring the energetic activity of fields, meridians and energy canals. At the same time we are also measuring the activity of the autonomous nervous system. How do these two things fit together? For thousands of years, health and longevity have been the subject of extensive research in all of the world’s civilizations. Doctors, practitioners and astrologers tried to penetrate the mysteries of life and death. There followed concepts trying to explain illness and ageing, temperament and character. The majority of these have been lost in the sands of time, and only faint echoes have reached us through scraps of manuscripts. But the manuscripts which did reach us are based on principles which differ from the Western materialistic outlook. These are the principles of the Earth, the energy of trees, grass and people. During the expedition to the land of the Sierra Nevada Indians in Columbia, we spoke to them in the language of energy, and they accepted us, opened their soul and sanctuary to us. So when we speak about energy fields, about meridians and charkas, we are using a language created by other civilizations – a language which, on an intuitive level, hands down ideas which have been proved by the practice of thousands of years. The EPC method bridges the gap between logical Western science and the intuitive science of the Orient. It makes it possible to present the same phenomenon in different languages, in different systems, and to look at the same phenomenon from different points of view. If you are familiar with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, if you accept the ideas of meridians and energy channels and energy fields, then the EPC method is for you – particularly since the concept of electropuncture is already well integrated into modern Western medicine. Whilst the theory of biological fields recently had its sixtieth birthday [Gurvich, 1944]. If you feel close to the ideas of Ayurvedic medicine, you can successfully use the EPC Chakra program which carries additional information in comparison to the other programs. And in any language it is possible to speak of energy measurements and of the energy potential of organs and systems. The concepts set out above provide these ideas with modern Western analogies and connect them to the current scientific paradigm. We hope that the data obtained through the EPC method broadens that paradigm, giving it new content and a new language. |
