Pendulums are usually made of metal, such as brass, or wood, generally have a point at the end, and are suspended by a thread or chain To begin using a pendulum, you first determine what its line of movement will be to indicate yes or no Users suggest that you hold the pendulum suspended directly below your fingers without moving it and then ask it to give you a yes After a short time, the pendulum may gather momentum and move in a clockwise or anti-clockwise fashion or move forward and back or side to side You then repeat this exercise asking the pendulum to give you a no For many people, a clockwise movement is yes and an anti-clockwise movement is a no Next, you suspend the pendulum in the air, or over the body part, plant, or object that you re investigating and then mentally ask questions about it The way that the pendulum swings determines the answer For example, you may ask questions about the therapeutic value of a particular plant Dowsers believe that the pendulum amplifies the unconscious mind and tunes into the vibrational frequency of the matter being investigated This idea may sound far-fetched, and no real scientific evidence supports this technique, but in fact dowsing is used by the military, local authorities, and mineral companies to detect water and mineral deposits, and it has even been used by the police in criminal investigations

Abb Bouly and two other Jesuit priests, Abb Alexis Mermet and Abb Jean Jurion, pioneered the medical use of dowsing They surmised that if dowsing could be used successfully for divining water, it could also be used to determine the circulation of blood and the condition of the tissues in the body At the turn of the 20th-century in another part of the world, American doctor Albert Abrams formulated the idea that disease was caused by an imbalance of electrons (tiny sub-atomic particles) in affected tissue rather than imbalance in the cells He believed that these electrical particles radiated a charge that could be detected outside of the body and that different electronic reactions were linked with different diseases He developed devices for measuring these changes and called his system radionics Although a recognised medical expert at Stanford University in California, Abrams was ridiculed for his ideas, as was Dr Ruth Drown, a chiropractor who took up his work and developed ways of diagnosing and treating at a distance using samples of hair or blood However, in the UK, Abram s work found more acceptance after a medical committee tested his findings and replicated them and an American living in the UK, David Tansley, popularised his work in the 1960s Dr Cyril W Smith, a retired UK lecturer in engineering, has also done pioneering work on the body s electro-magnetic field, summarised in his fascinating book, Electromagnetic Man

In Germany, a modern-day pioneer of energy medicine was Reinhold Voll, a doctor who studied acupuncture in the 1950s, and then, together with a group of colleagues, became interested in the electrical properties of acupuncture points Voll developed a simple electrical device to measure these points and used them to map the acupuncture meridians, verifying the known ones and adding some of his own along the way He also converted some of the traditional Chinese medical terminology into Western physiological terms, which made his system, that he called EAV (ElectroAcupuncture according to Voll), more widely acceptable amongst medics Voll used the application of tiny micro-electric currents to abnormal points to bring their measurements back into the normal range and held that this procedure could help relieve illness and imbalance He also claimed that incorporating homeopathic remedies, nutritional supplements, or medicines into the circuit could alter abnormal measures and could be effective in treating a range of conditions including inflammation and allergies Voll s method was simplified by some other German doctors who developed Bioelectronic Functions Diagnosis and Therapy (BFD), which reduced the number of points being measured to around 60 and also limited the number of medications tested
