Bioresonance therapy is a kind of complementary or alternative medicine therapy. It uses a device to determine the frequency of energy wavelengths emitted by the body. These measurements are then used to provide a diagnosis of a disease. According to its proponents, it can also treat some diseases. However, there is no solid scientific evidence that bioresonance has a function in disease diagnosis or treatment. Electrodermal testing, Bio-physical information treatment, Bio-energetic therapy (BIT), Energy medicine, and Vibrational medicine are some of the other names for it.
Bioresonance therapies employ electronic gadgets that claim to identify damaged internal organs as well as stabilizethe body's electrical characteristics and wave emissions. This is predicated on the untested theory that damaged cells or organs create abnormal electromagnetic waves, and that restoring these waves to normality can heal the body. Theseelectronic devicesare frequently promoted for cancer treatment. Nevertheless, none of the promoters' claims have been verified.
Bioresonance therapy is used to detect and treat cancer, allergies, arthritis, and chronic degenerative disorders in clinics throughout Europe, Mexico, Florida, and the United States. Electrodermal testing, a version, was created as a tool for administering homoeopathic remedies and is currently used in Europe to diagnose allergies.
Extraction and replacement of dental metals or amalgams, which are claimed to transmit currents that affect the body's electromagnetic circulatory system, may be part of the treatment. The Food and Drug Administration has prosecuted several electrical device manufacturers for promoting unjustified health benefit claims. Patients are advised by the American Cancer Society not to seek therapy with theseunproven electronic devices.
Bioresonance is based on the assumption that damaged DNA causes damaged cells or organs to emit abnormal electromagnetic waves. Bioresonance supporters claim that detecting these waves could be used to detect diseases, while restoring these waves to their regular frequency may eventreat thedisease. To use bioresonance, electrodes are put on the skin and connected to a device that scansthe energy wavelengths emerging from the body. This is the diagnostic process. The equipment may then adjust those energy frequencies to enable the cells of the body to vibrate at their natural frequency,presumably treating the disease.
Electrodermal testing was created to aid in the prescription of homoeopathic medications. Medicines are evaluated to see how well they resonate with the person or how similar they are to biological frequencies that need to be enhanced to conquer a sickness. The wave emission from homoeopathic medications or allergies, according to practitioners, is monitored by the device and controlled through the patient's autonomic nervous system, impacting skin resistance However, there is no proof to support any of these statements.
Some supporters say that the gadget kills tumor cells naturally by unleashing suppressed tumor suppressor genes or attenuating hyperactive oncogenes. Because most cancer-causing genetic alterations are irreversible, this notion is untenable. A study of one device discovered that a low-resistance galvanic skin reaction was not a reliable indication of spinal disease, and that the device provided a low-resistance result after 5 seconds of application to any site on the body.
The electromagnetic waves emitted by the device are also thought to be capable of curing addictions such as smoking cigarettes, presumably by cancelling out nicotine molecules in the body.
Bioresonance therapy claims to be able to diagnose and treat a variety of medical problems. These are some examples:
One of the most well-researchedareas of bioresonance therapy is the use of bioresonance to cure allergies and related disorders, such as eczema. In this domain, there have been a number of both controlled (using a placebo) and uncontrolled (observational) investigations. Controlled investigations on whether bioresonance can help treat allergies have yielded mixed or negative findings. Bioresonance treatment and electrodermal testing have been shown in clinical trials to be ineffective in detecting allergies.
There is no scientific evidence to support the use of bioresonance therapy to diagnose or treat asthma.
This assumption is not supported by adequate research. According to certain research, bioresonance may be useful in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by regulating how antioxidants act in the body. These antioxidants attack free radicals, which may help reduce tissue damage in patients withRheumatoid arthritis. There have been no structured research on the usefulness of bioresonance in the treatment of this disease.
A 2014 researchcompared bioresonance to a placebo for cessation of smoking. It was discovered that 77.2%of people in the bioresonance group stopped smoking after one week, compared to 54.8%in the placebo group.
The study also discovered that after a year of therapy,which was only given once, 26%of people in the bioresonance group had quit smoking, compared to 16.1%in the placebo group.
In one investigation, the combination of bioresonance therapy, manual therapy, and point massage was compared to manual therapy and point therapy without bioresonance therapy for the treatment of fibromyalgia.
Although both groups benefited, the investigation found that the group that received bioresonance therapy improved by 72%compared to the other group, which improved by 37%.
Sleep difficulties and susceptibility to weather changes were also improved.
Clinical evidence does not support this use.
Some bioresonance users claim that it can activate tumor suppressor genes or reduce the effects of hyperactive cells, both of which can kill cancer. Most cancer-causing genetic alterations, however, cannot be reversed. Furthermore, no research hasbeen conducted to demonstrate the efficacy of bioresonance in the treatment of cancer.
As previously stated, certain research have found that bioresonance has beneficial consequences. These studies, however, only contain a small number of individuals, and investigation has been limited.
Furthermore, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has successfully sued at least one individual for promoting "unsupported" and "potentially harmful" claims about bioresonance curing cancer.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), which governs advertising in the United Kingdom, also concluded that none of the efficacy claims for bioresonance therapy were backed by data. The majority of medical specialists agree that bioresonance cannot be used to diagnose or treat medical diseases, notably cancer. At the moment, there is no clear proof regarding the use and effectiveness of bioresonance.
Bioresonance research has so far yielded no negative results. It has been described as a painless operation.
The greatest concern is that employing bioresonance will prevent patients from accessing other evidence-based treatments. If bioresonance fails, it could have a negative impact on health outcomes.
While some minor studies demonstrate that bioresonance has favorable impacts, these are limited.
Furthermore, advertising for bioresonance as a successful treatment for a variety of diseases has been declared misleading in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
Although bioresonance is unlikely to have any harmful side effects, it should not be utilized as the primary or only treatment for any ailment.
