Understanding Energy Therapy And How It Works

The concept that restoring balance to the energy levels of the body can promote health and wellness is central to one type of alternative healing. This modality is known as energy therapy and it involves the manipulation of these biological force fields through one or more techniques which are used to bring about a state of equilibrium which some believe critical to improved health and recovery from illness.

First conceptualized in the Eastern world, this alternative healing modality continued to expand as technology introduced new advances in its understanding of magnetism, electricity and the like. While it has not gained the credibility of popular medical machines such as radiation and x-ray equipment, and it has yet to be proven scientifically, its practitioners continue to uphold its effectiveness.

Credited with the potential to reverse the disease process of many illnesses, including cancer, this healing modality is also believed to help relieve pain and boost one's immunity. Two possible approaches can be taken in its application; an external one that uses an energy-generating device or an internal one that draws strength from within the "biofields" of the body.

Examples of this latter form of therapy involve the use of electricity, magnetic fields, infrared and microwave heat. These include BioResonance tumor therapy, the Rife machine, and the "Zapping" machine. While they operate slightly differently, each of these devices has been designed to target affected cells by the administration of low-frequency electrical current.

The internal and external force fields of the body are the primary focus of biofield methods which rely on the hands as instruments of healing. This can be done either through direct or indirect contact with the body, examples of the former include healing touch, and the latter is exemplified in techniques such as therapeutic touch and Reiki, which uses a strategic alignment of hands instead of physical contact.

The medical community does not at this point in time fully accept this alternative form of healing. Evidence indicative of its effectiveness in alleviating pain and symptoms associated with cancer and other diseases is rather limited in both scope and source, originating largely from individual claims or small, restricted studies.

This approach is relatively safe, with the only risk being possible malfunction of electrical devices. Electromagnetic therapy is not recommended for those with pacemakers or defibrillators. It is not intended to replace conventional medical treatment but simply complement it, especially for serious illnesses like cancer.
