Domain Modulation & Pieces to the Homeopathy (and Acupuncture) Puzzle

… Here are some observations that may help persuade more researchers and students of health care
disciplines to study the phenomenon of healing responses to homeopathic preparations. Homeopathy
originated with western style doctors and I think it holds the doorway to an expanded way of looking
at health and illness. The examples below show phenomena that should entice the thinker to see how
they may fit into a larger paradigm than our current model of health. While my heart's desire is to get
help to ill people, it will be necessary to increase the numbers of health care providers and researchers
who are knowledgeable about the applications of the homeopathic phenomenon (and other "energy
medicine" methods such as acupuncture and EAV/Electro-Dermal Screening). Patients who read this
letter are invited to learn about homeopathy and bring resources (including that issue of the TLDP) to
your health care provider so she/he can reconsider the implications of homeopathy.

Vibration:
A key piece to the puzzle of homeopathy is the role of vibration in making the medicines. Without it
there is no homeopathy. This was stated by Samuel Hahnemann, M.D., the original describer of the
homeopathic phenomenon. 1. When homeopathic preparations were only diluted (with a gentle
swirling action for mixing with the pure water added at each step) Hahnemann discovered there was no
healing response when it was given to a patient. 2. When homeopathic preparations were strongly
vibrated (in a method described as "shaking" in modern literature but done in a specific way that
Hahnemann called "succussion", "dynamization", or "potentization") at higher steps of dilution he
found an increased healing response.

It is worth looking at this issue of vibration further because I think it will intrigue those who are
familiar with quantum physics and with the increasing awareness of the effects of electromagnetic
phenomena on biological health. Hahnemann and his students discovered that the quality of vibration
made a difference. 1. When the vibration was done by pounding the vial containing the dilution
against one's open palm, or against a resilient surface (Hahnemann would use a leather-bound book,
often the Bible), then the preparation would evoke a healing response in the patient. 2. When the
vibration was done by pounding the container against a wooden or hard surface then the preparation
would not induce a healing response. When I considered this small technical note I had discovered
(while trying to make sense of homeopathy for myself), it became clear that the difference was in the
waveform of the pressure curve experienced by the solution. If the curve were in the form of a "spike
wave" then the solution would not work. But if the pressure were in the shape of the familiar "sine
wave" (parabola) then there would be activation of the homeopathic principle. It seems that too abrupt
a change in direction of the solution causes a dissipation of the phenomenon.

[DRAWING of sine wave and spike wave forms]













Disruptive vibrations and an unexpected danger:
Further data about the homeopathic phenomenon is fascinating: 1. When the preparations are exposed
to a strong electromagnet they seem to lose their ability to cause a healing response. 2. When they are
exposed to direct sunlight they lose the ability to evoke a healing response 3. When some individuals
sleep under electric blankets they have lost the benefits they had experienced from taking a
homeopathic medicine. 4. When exposed to strong volatile oils the preparations lose their ability to
evoke a healing response. 5. A report by a homeopath in New York City is sobering: He studied the
problems in behavior associated with city living and considered the water supply as a source of
destabilizing influence. He noted that as the water flowed down from reservoirs, falling down pipes
and vibrating around bends in the pipes there might be a potentizing phenomenon on the chemicals in
the water. One chemical added to the water was fluoride. Indeed, the symptoms caused by fluorinum
include many of the social problems seen in the city (unsociable behavior, sexual over-excitement,
mental exhaustion and fatigue, etc.). It was as if the entire city had been treated with long-term
exposure to the vibrational energy of fluoride. He found that prescribing homeopathic fluoric acid
helped a number of his patients. It acted almost like an antidote, or mirror image of the negative
influence from the vibrated fluoride water.

The Strongest Vibrations:
A curious note I found was about an experiment in the 1800s, the making of the "Wainwright
dilutions." Someone went to a flourmill that was powered by a waterwheel. They fastened the bottles
with the dilutions to a pounding pole that would go up and down day in and day out. Dilutions could
be left for days or weeks at a time for each stage of the vibration. It was said that those were the most
powerful homeopathic remedies ever made.

In modern days there have been devices successfully used for making homeopathic dilutions. Some
have a holder for the bottle at the end of a jig arm that would have a slight bounce at the end (a "sine
wave" pressure curve). Some practitioners (notably Dr. John Bastyr) would make homeopathic
preparations by holding the bottle onto the upturned head of an ultrasound treatment device for a few
seconds at each stage of dilution. Some companies use a rubber pad to pound against. And I have
heard of one that is using a Bible for preparing their medicines in the original way.

Does the Theory Make Sense? New translations are opening doors:
The skeptics' main question is how does homeopathy work? Readers need to know there are more
than one theory about homeopathy. (I will sketch my understanding of the electromagnetic dynamics
of homeopathy below.) Many current explanations of homeopathy are not satisfying for those who
ask how it works. Proponents of homeopathy are convinced of its validity, and there are many
explanations and rules about homeopathy. The biggest problem is that the original German language
texts of the discoverer of the phenomenon, Samuel Hahnemann, M.D. have been incorrectly
translated. Now that more accurate translations are coming available I think homeopathy is finally in a
position to come out of the depths of mystery and "metaphysical" language that is used too often.
Homeopathy will be expanding its place in the scientific investigations being conducted on the body's
energy field. If you read one book about homeopathy I would say read Hahnemann's The Organon of
Medicine
, in the O'Reilly/Decker translation. The second most important to getting a solid start in
making sense of homeopathy is Homeopathy Re-Examined: Beyond the Classical Paradigm. These two
books contain many additional references that will guide those who are learning about homeopathy.
They also contain guidelines for discerning the problems and the useful parts of current writings
based on the inadequate translations. It all boils down to an intricate world of substances, energy
fields and domains.

Fields and Domains—The future of medicine:
"Domain Modulation Medicine" is the name I coined to describe the way I describe the practice of
true healing. This provides a framework to explain the place of homeopathy, acupuncture and
technologies using these two. Domains are concepts found in physics and in biological medicine. In
the language of physics a "domain" explains where a given entity exists--rather than a specific point, it
is a locus or zone in which the entity can be found. In biology the word "domain" could for example
describe the zone in which a fungus that makes penicillin lives, and another "domain" could be where
a bacterium lives. These two life forms exist in their own locales, but they can't be in the same place.
Over the millennia whenever one has mutated to be more effective, the other one modified itself and a
balance of power was regained. An example of a shortcoming of western medicine is the creation of
"antibiotic" drugs. First scientists isolated penicillin and used it against a bacterium. However, the
bacterium eventually developed a resistance by mutating. Now in treating patients with penicillin we
find problems because of the resistance to medications. The answer to that situation is to modify the
domain of the patient in a more flexible way. Newer drugs to fight bacteria and organisms might be a
solution. Modifying the human is another way to deal with illness.

As a doctor my goal is to get the patient to a situation in which they can have a satisfying life in their
own domain. I want a person to be comfortable in their surroundings. The Domain Modulation
Medicine concept helps illustrate that I want them to focus on their individuality and not worry about
stresses that do not impact them. It also helps explain why small changes in their domain (better food,
air, exercise, sounds, light, etc.) can act to strengthen their life so they can have a livable space to
enjoy. For the more exacting reader, consider the difference between domain (physical location) and
field (the longer range of effects emanating from the object itself).

Applying Domains and Energy Medicine Theory:
A.Acupuncture:
There is a slight difference in the ionic charges of arteries compared to veins. This was explained by
Bjorn Nordenstrom, M.D. Electrical theory describes how a magnetic field is created around a wire
when ions travel from one end to the other. When the wire is bent or wires come near each other, there
are changes in the electromagnetic fields. This means that the human body is "wired" with an intricate
mesh of cables carrying charges. This gives an explanation for the existence of points on the body
that are different in their characteristics as described by acupuncturists. When a point on the
acupuncture lines of the body is stimulated, (by needle, electrical charge, pressure, essential oil, laser,
colored light, etc.) there are changes in the physiology. Recent reports of MRI studies of the brain
during acupuncture are fascinating. These show brain activity in the visual cortex after light is shined
in the eyes, and similar activity in the brain when the subject is in darkness but has stimulation to
acupuncture points on the feet that are traditionally used for eye problems. A style of acupuncture
called Five Element Acupuncture highlights changes in the pulse at the wrist after needling of specific
points. I was amazed when I discovered that there are changes felt in the pulse when homeopathic
preparations are brought near the body. That is, not taken internally but only brought into proximity of
the skin. This effect seems to last for a few seconds and then the body seems to adapt and changes
are not detectable.

B. Homeopathy:
The phrase "are brought near the body..." means that a field of some kind surrounds the container of
homeopathic medicine. Another piece to the puzzle: Glass vials do not seem to block the passage of
this field, but some practitioners say that this effect on the body is blocked by certain types of plastic.
Researchers such as Reinhold Voll, M.D. in Germany found that the skin's resistivity to electrical
currents is different at acupuncture points compared to areas not traditionally used for acupuncture.
Dr. Voll discovered that homeopathic preparations would cause changes in the measurements at these
points when they were brought near the body or placed near the circuit connecting the electrodes
used to make the measurements. I am convinced that the hypothesis that the body has a field around
it that can be affected by other energies will explain all the phenomena seen in homeopathy,
acupuncture, and other Energy Medicine therapies including laying on of hands and prayer. The
discovery of the problems with translation of Hahnemann's books (and notebooks not widely
circulated) has cleared the way for explaining homeopathy as an intricate set of interactions between
objects--living and inanimate.

Verspoor writes about his clinical experience and examples in literature by other doctors that show the
body acting as if it were a recording device holding memories of past energy impacts, especially if they
overpower the body's ability to dissipate the energy. These impacts act as layers of disturbance that
alter the expression of our innate energy field. The clinical application of this information is to
sequentially address the effects of traumas of various kinds that have occurred over a lifetime. This is
sometimes called "peeling off layers". He also describes the practice of some homeopaths who treat a
person for the possible effects of diseases that contaminate society in general (such as syphilis and
gonorrhea) even though the individual or their parents may have no record of such diseases.

Homeopathy and its energy insights are only part of a bigger picture:
Are thinkers and researchers doing the work of looking at life as interactions of energy fields? Yes.
There are several in many disciplines of health care. The logical thinker will be able to create lists of
ways the body might react and treatments might be given. There is a wealth of writing about different
attempts to use homeopathy and other energies to affect health. Verspoor has references to varying
methods of homeopathic practice. The differences in successful use of different methods make sense
if you look at the person as a living repository of energies. If everything is in relationship to
everything else, then changes can be made by bringing things closer together when desired, or
removing things and their fields if that is more desirable.

Craniosacral Dynamics:
There are rhythms and motions of the bones of the skull., (and, indeed, all the organs). This occurs at
a rate of six to 12 times a minute, and probably starts in utero after the closing of the dural tube and the
formation of cerebrospinal fluid. You are encouraged to read Craniosacral Therapy by John Upledger,
D.O and other books he has written. An understanding of Craniosacral Dynamics will show a
connection between the human body and the electromagnetic energies surrounding the earth and
affecting the movements of the tides, the moon, etc. I myself have witnessed a change in the rate and
intensity of the cranial bone movement when homeopathic medicines have been brought near to the
body. Again, an intriguing piece to a larger puzzle which homeopathy is helping us to understand.

Yogic Death (and revival) explained by energy fields and cranial dynamics:
Here I want to include the fascinating story in the book: The Future of the Body, by Michael Murphy,
where the yogi Haridas was carefully wrapped and buried for six weeks, then revived ("....The servant
then began pouring warm water over the figure; but as my object was to see if any fraudulent practices
could be detected, I proposed to Runjeet Singh to tear open the bag, and have a perfect view of the
body before any means of resuscitation were employed. I accordingly did so; and may here remark,
that the bag, when first seen by us, looked mildewed, as if it had been buried some time. The legs and
arms of the body were shriveled and stiff, the face full, the head reclining on the shoulder like that of a
corpse. I then called to the medical gentleman who was attending me to come down and inspect the
body, which he did, but could discover no pulsation in the heart, the temples, or the arm. There was,
however, a heat about the region of the brain, which no other part of the body exhibited....").

Cranioscral correlation: The story of Haridas holds the clue that the cranial fluid system is still
operative as long as we are alive, and may be kept moving by the celestial electromagnetic forces. This
would explain the following observation of Dr. Upledger: He has commented that cranial therapists
have detected the cranial rhythm continuing after medically pronounced clinical death and it then
slowed down and eventually everything was still and the person really was dead.

Monday-morning morgue "resurrections":
This would explain the fantastic stories of people who were authoritatively pronounced dead and put
in the morgue on a busy Friday evening, only to be brought out for embalming the following Monday
and were found to be alive... It is my contention that the cranial rhythm continued after clinical death
was pronounced and later "jump-started" the heart.

Reverse Speech phenomenon:
The work of David John Oates reveals the sound-bytes of intelligent speech heard when recorded
speech is played backwards. You will need to check his web site and literature for greater detail.
However, I thought of craniosacral therapy immediately when he said that he can detect these
"reversals" every 10 to 12 seconds. This is virtually the same rate as Upledger's 6 to 12 times a minute.
I am convinced that the rhythm of the cranial fluids and the pressure changes this causes in the skull
and on the brain is the basis for the reverse flow of speech. We all have this going on since childhood
(he has some sound clips of pre-verbal babies making intelligent statements when their "babbling" is
played in reverse). We are not aware of this reverse communication but our subconscious probably
hears the talk from other people. This may be the explanation for much of "intuition" when people can
"sense" what is behind another person's forward speech. Because I have witnessed changes in the
rate of cranial movement when homeopathic preparations are brought near to the body, I think there
should be research into the effects of homeopathy on the reverse speech phenomenon.

Other areas the reader may consider:
The work of Dr. Candace Pert: She posited one hormone for each emotion. There may be frequencies
associated with emotions.
Vithoulkas's book The Science of Homeopathy has excellent illustrations explaining energy fields of
the human.
Dr. Hans Nieper talked about nerve fibers acting as capacitors because of the charge separation
caused by the myelin sheath.

Rhythms, pulses, energy fields, this is what life is all about. You can add your examples. This letter is
broad in scope but understanding homeopathy may make sense of the energy-based paradigm that is
developing.

I hope this is stimulating to some of the readers.

If the pressure curve of the
succussion of the homeopathic
remedy were in a "sine wave" form
then there would be activation of the
homeopathic principle.

But if the pressures were abrupt and
in a "spike wave" shape then there
would be no evoked healing
response in the patient.
