Sunday Afternoon Public Programs

The electrical qualities of our human bodies are in some ways more significant than the biochemical factors affecting our health — after nearly a century of suppression the powerful technologies of electro-medicine are now reemerging into public awareness! Electrons are constantly flowing throughout our bodies — and not just through the nervous system, but through our veins, arteries, connective tissues and even our bones. Electro-medicine works through this innate bio-electrical system and there’s a considerable variety of well-established but little known technologies that can help to bring about seemingly miraculous healing.

From the relatively simple low-current ‘zappers’ believed to kill viruses and other pathogens — and Cranial Electro Stimulation (CES) instruments demonstrated to enhance mood, sleep and general mental functioning — to Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field (PEMF) devices that boost many aspects of health through magnetism — a number of applications are demonstrating the validity of the electro-medical approach. One of the electromedicine approaches I’m personally most excited about is the locally developed Frequency Specific Microcurrent™ — an approach that promises radical and quick healing of inflamed joints and muscles as well as damaged organs and even emotions. This powerful cure for difficult conditions such as fibromyalgia and shingles has close ties to this very Theosophical Lodge and celebrated member Harry Van Gelder, who was a central figure in its development! We’ll look at these approaches as well as the more esoteric plasma-based approach of Rifing as well as the extremely simple but very potent approach of ‘Earthing’ — connecting to the rich electron supply of the Earth itself by practices as basic as walking barefoot in the grass.

We’ll also explore the little-known ways that electricity is always acting in our bodies and the conductive, resonant, piezoelectric and even antenna-like qualities of many of our tissues — the biological qualities that make the great healing potential of electro-medicine possible. We’ll also briefly survey the history of electro-medicine from the use of electric eels in Ancient Egypt to the field’s reemergence in the late 19th century; as well as the dangers posed by the modern deluge of electro-pollution via high-power lines, WiFi
and otherwise. There will also be a variety of electro-medicine devices to check out and suggestions on how you can follow up with further exploration into this fascinating ‘new’ field.
