waveforms create field components larger than the sinusoidal case.
Therapeutic, medical and post-surgical benefits are observed. In
the second case a spatially variable H field is used in conjunction
with a frequency-variable A field. This method uses the penetrative
powers of vibrations relative to EM fields within tissues of the body.
The fields are applied to the skin via an applicator incorporating a
permanent magnet. The applicator and magnetic head vibrate at a
frequency under therapist control. A range of results are presented
as a seriesof before and after thermographs and ultrasonographs.
6.1 Introduction
We have seen that photons are involved in both the big picture
of life and evolution within our galaxy and across the cosmos
and in the small picture of the binding energy within atoms and
molecules, including acting as initiators of sudden changes of field
structure, chemical cascades during mitosis or growth of tissues
due to biogenic field exposures, biophotons (see Fig. 6.1). Using
classicalelectromagnetics(CEM)theroleofthebiophotonincellular
replication was unable to be understood. CEM does not include
the biophoton and how it acts within atoms and molecules in
the body's mechanisms in any detail. However, frequency-based
methods of therapy are such an intrinsically simple resonance
mechanism for treating cellular diseases, including cancers, they
do not need the recently discovered mathematics and physical
concepts of self-field theory (SFT) to understand how they work.
But the mathematics certainly helps in validating the results to the
academic community. This validation refers to the way molecular,
chromosomal and cellular changes come about in response to the
photonicand phononicexposures.
Hence frequency-based methods of therapy have been known
and attempted since at least the early 20th century. Gurwitsch
