Are We Close to a Theory of Energy Medicine?

Abstract

Critical phenomena offer an attractive new theoretical resource for biophysics. Physical instabilities result in fluctuations, the quantum properties of which can be applied to regulatory control mechanisms in living organisms with promising results. Many aspects of energy medicine can be scientifically modeled, in agreement with previous theoretical ideas and speculation, such as the existence of macroscopic quantum coherence in living systems. Light is shed on areas of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) such as Ayurveda, naturopathy, and the nature and action of potentized medicines in homeopathy and other aspects of vibrational medicine.

The integrative management of PTSD: A review of conventional and CAM approaches used to prevent and treat PTSD with emphasis on military personnel

“…Psychological, biological and possibly also subtle energetic processes have been postulated to explain therapeutic effects of energy healing. Quantum mechanics may help explain subtle effects of 'energy' healing or directed intention on health and illness [74]. In a 3-week randomised controlled trial active duty military diagnosed with PTSD following exposure to combat (n = 123) randomised to six sessions of Healing Touch plus Guided Imagery vs treatment as usual experienced significant reductions in PTSD symptoms and depression and significant improvements in overall mental quality of life [75].…”

CAM Modalities Can Stimulate Advances in Theoretical Biology

“…This approach has resulted in three radical theories, one on Ayurveda's Tridosha system of classification of physiological function and regulation (15–17), one on a theory of physiological regulation (18), which results in a theory of vibrational medicine (19) including homeopathy (20), and one (21) which draws on the other two to begin to explain one of Scott-Morley's many advances in the practice of Voll's system of electroacupuncture (22). …”
