One form of alternate healing is based on the belief that the body possesses several energy levels, which in times of illness are out of balance, and through using various techniques, these levels and health can be restored. Although this approach comes in different forms, collectively they are referred to as energy therapy. The concept of balance being essential to health is shared by all of them.
Originating from an Eastern school of thought, this practice began to evolve as technology and awareness of the forces of electricity and magnetism grew. This resulted in the advent of the use of machines in medicine for the purposes of diagnosis and treatment. Unlike equipment such as x-ray and radiation machines, the success of this approach has not been scientifically proven, although many practitioners swear by its efficacy.
Those who practice this technique claim that it has the ability to encourage healing of various illnesses, even cancer. It is also connected with reduction of pain and improved immunity. There are two types of therapy; one which depends on "biofields", biological energy fields, and those which implement an outside source such as an electromagnetic field.
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.
Biofield manipulation is accomplished without devices, but instead it relies on the hands of the practitioner to act as a healing tool. Touch may be involved as in "healing touch" therapy, or the hands may be merely aligned in a certain fashion in relation to the body, as seen in Reiki, or therapeutic touch. The common goal of all forms is to correct imbalances of energy body which contribute to pain and illness.
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.
Little to no risks are associated to the use of this healing technique, very rarely electric devices can malfunction and the manual approach is entirely safe. It should not be used on patients with defibrillators or pacemakers, as a precaution. Patients are advised to only undergo this form of therapy as a complementary treatment, not use it in lieu of conventional care with proven results.
