branching. New radicals can recombine with other radicals present in the system and terminate the chain, which they lead. No less important is that the reactions of radical recombination have a unique property – quanta of energy released in such reactions may be equivalent to the energy of photons of visible or even UV-light. Gurwitsch [Gurwitsch A.G., Gurwitsch L.D. 1999] and Szent-Gyorgyi [Szent-Gyoergyi A. 1968] insisted that in the organized milieu of living systems the energy of electron excitation does not easily dissipate into heat, rather it may radiatively or in a radiation-less manner transfer to macromolecules, or to their ensembles. Energy packages equivalent to the energy of light photons released in the reactions of radical recombination may serve for biochemical reactions triggering, while their rhythmic release under certain conditions may suggest their role of pacemakers of metabolic processes [Voeikov, V. 2003].
In every chain reaction up to 8 eV of energy is realized [Voeikov, V. 2003]. For a bird consuming humid air during flight, this may create an extra source of electron-excited states for the generation of ATP in muscles. 1 eV is equal to 1.6*10-19 J, in 1 cm3 of air we have about 1016 oxygen molecules, so to generate 100 kJ a bird needs to process about 106 cm3 of air. During the flight, the respiratory rate of a little bird is 60-160 breathes per minute [McWilliams S. et al. 2003]. We may evaluate that a bird processes about 103 cm3 of air per minute. Therefore, to process 106 cm3 of air bird would need 103 minutes, or 16 hours. This number is quite compatible with duration of migratory flights.
The aim of the above reasoning was not to give detailed biophysical concept of energy transformation in the living system, but rather to pay attention of the reader to several important moments for the current state of biology and medicine.
1.Modern biophysical concepts are not defined yet; they do not give detailed understanding of most basic biological processes.
2.Biological organisms extract energy not only from food, but also directly from air, water, and the sun.
3.External stimuli play a fundamental bio-energetic role by activation of inner vital processes. We may tell that they operate as informational signals for stimulating inner reactions. In other words, subthreshold informational stimulation and consumption, activates a cascade of pro homeo-kinetic activity.
PART II. PRACTICAL BASIS OF ELECTROPHOTONIC GDV ANALYSIS
If it were now to die,
Twere now to be more happy; I fear
My soul hath her content so absolute
That not another comfort like to this
Succeeds.
William Shakespeare, Othello II, 1
The basic principles of EPI analysis of the person’s energy condition are as follows:
•Information must be taken from the 10 fingers with and without filter.
•The fingers must not be washed before the EPI images are taken. If there is dirt, moisture or sweat, wipe with a soft cloth. In the case of heavy perspiration, wipe every finger just before the EPI images are taken.
•Any strong drug, medications (in particularly hormones and anti-depressants), alcohol change the energy of the body. Ask patient before measuring.
•Different EPI programs provide different information about the energy because they use different principles for processing the information; therefore a full analysis requires processing in all programs.
•The image of the energy field provides a general image of the distribution of energy, it does not allow for a detailed analysis, although it shows basic regions requiring attention. The program Energy Field is very convenient for monitoring the condition during successive measurements of the same person.
•The energy distribution diagram is a very convenient, practical and reliable method for analyzing the person’s conditions. It allows for several types of analysis:
•Assessing the activation and stress level, by comparing the captures taken with and without filter;
•Assessing the general level of energy reserves, according to the diagram with filter.
•Identifying the zones requiring attention (without and with filter, both right and left hands).
•Compare the conditions when taking EPI images in different moments; after carrying out a procedure, exercise, or intervention and so forth.
•Accomplish a detailed analysis of the energy condition of the organs and systems by assessing the various sectors of individual fingers. This can be done with the programs Energy Field, Diagram, and others.
The sector analysis of fingers is the most detailed one, it reveals the particulars of the condition of a given system or organ. Other programs give additional information.
The sector analysis of individual fingers is the final phase of EPI analysis of the person’s condition.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The EPI analysis is not currently certified as a method of medical diagnosis of specific disease. It is intended to provide guidelines to qualified healthcare professionals with full knowledge of patient history and concerns to assist in their design of an appropriate healthcare program. EPI makes it possible to analyze the energy state of a person and his/her autonomic status, i.e. to assess the condition of the body from the point of view of the functioning of the autonomic nervous system.
Using the data from this analysis, as well as other instrumental measurements (such as ECG, blood analysis, ultrasound, visual checkup, genetic data, etc.) the doctor or competent specialist can make a diagnosis as well as prescribe a treatment.
In Russia the EPI device is certified as a medical technology device and is included in the medical diagnosis apparatus registry. This means it can be used in certified medical institutions.
The analyses considered above were based on the use of the Diagnostic Map, which shows the correlation between the separate sectors of the fingers and the energy state of the organs and the system (fig. 1.4). That map was first proposed by Dr. Peter Mandel in Germany [Mandel, 1989], based on the ideas of traditional Chinese medicine about energy meridians. In the 1990s this map was modified with reference to the EPI device and all sectors were tested in medical institutions in Russia on the basis of major clinical material.
All sectors used in the Diagnosis Map have been verified through significant clinical trials.
Mandel’s and Korotkov’s maps differ significantly.
EPI images with and without filter
The EPI filter is a specially made polyethylene film that is placed on the glass electrode plate of the EPI camera at the time of taking EPI images. Its role can be explained by means of a simple example.
Let us suppose that we put on a thin surgical glove and take EPI images of the fingers. They will give a similar bright glow. The glove physically isolates the surface of the cutaneous covering – with its perspiration and secreted skin gases. With the skin surface processes separated from the glass electrode plate, the images will only reflect the particularities linked to the conditions of the body as a single system. In other words, we remove a significant part of the influence exerted by the autonomic nervous system.
The EPI polyethylene filter plays the same role as the surgical glove. It eliminates the direct influence of the cutaneous covering on the EPI images.
With the polyethylene filter in place, electrons penetrate inside this film and multiply there giving an impression of a more smooth and continuous image. These way only areas with strong defects will be presented in the image. So we can tell that the film filters out details related mostly to psychosomatic activity. In most cases EPI images with filter
