Philosophy



In the hands of the sincere and patient analyst radionic instruments will disclose the root causes of a condition and present a detailed ” blue print” of the patient as he actually is. But analysis must be thorough. Indeed I, personally, would prefer to be diagnosed by a truly competent healer who did not employ radionic analysis than I would by one who used an instrument carelessly, or by one who made a hasty business of what should take some time. I have heard analysts boast of the large number of cases they can get through in a day. The only thing of which we may be proud are the beneficial results of our efforts. All will agree that in diagnosis great care and thoroughness are essentially. Careless operators will bring discredit on a highly scientific system.

A word to those who use these instruments: no matter what the symptoms presented by the patient, go through all the “systems” first of all: brain, nervous respiratory, secretory, endocrines, etc., and note all low organs and unbalanced glands. Then, taking each weak organ, test for every possible cause. Note, however, that if the reading for an organ is fairly high it does not follow that there is no disease present; e.g., a chronic appendix may read, say, 60. It seems that the reading the instrument gives relates more to the organ energy than to the actual state of the organic tissue. Hence the reading may or may not be an indication of existing trouble, for nature may be sending more energy into a diseased area in an attempt to clear up a pathological condition.

Then test for virus and toxins and their locality. When all is completed you will know why the patient has the symptoms of which he complains. The next stage is to test suitable remedies for each subnormal or abnormal condition; also for remedies to eliminate toxins and bacteria.

I have seen analysis reports which were next to useless (they probably took the operator just a few minutes of his time). On such reports I have seen that the selected remedies reduced a disease reading from 60 to 40. Believe me, such readings are unlikely to help. I am never satisfied unless I obtain a formula which will clear all symptoms or leave a mere reading of 10; then I know that satisfactory results may be anticipated.

No doubt the mind of the analyst plays a large part in remedy selection by means of radiesthesia, and if he or she favours remedies in potency they will be more likely to come in than will crude substances. An experienced herbalist may find the reverse to be the case. However, from information gathered in many quarters the best effects are to be anticipated by employing the system outlined in this present effort which is to introduce a more decisive system of medication.

I always prescribe my main 30c formula in dilute spirit. To save time I prepare my secondary formula in tablet form. These tablet remedies have been based on countless tests and I have given a list of them in order to make prescribing easier.

Those who do not understand homoeopathy may find it difficult to comprehend that there is any virtue in the minute doses of tasteless, colourless substances. In these days of atom smashing it is sheer foolishness to belittle the power of the infinitesimal. When the unseen atom is split immense power is liberated; in a similar manner the full healing virtues of a remedy are released when its molecules are broken up by potentising or by trituration.

Unfortunately many people refuse to believe that there is any value in a remedy unless it has a vile taste and a filthy smell. To remove their physical ailments they evidently believe in trying to cast out the devil by Beelzebub. Fortunately our remedies do not depend on the power of suggestion for their efficiency. Naturally, belief always helps, and I think, speeds up successful treatment; hence it is good for a patient to have an intelligent understanding of how and why a remedy acts.

As I am well-known in the world of nature cure these pages will probably be read by some who do not believe in taking any kind of remedy. These good people forget that a vegetable is a herb and was at one time a wild herb; they forget also that one of the main troubles with civilised peoples to-day is that they feed off crops grown on poisoned soil which has been ruined by the zealous application of chemical fertilisers. The wild herbs are at least free from contamination by these noxious substances. I would also point out that many natural garden vegetables become powerful remedies when homoeopathically potentised.

What is nature cure? To my mind the question has never been answered in a satisfactory manner. Some of the methods which come under that heading can be highly dangerous in the hands of the ignorant and the over-confident fanatic. Applied ignorance is not nature cure. That “nature cures” we all agree, but the methods we employ in order to help nature and “give her a chance” must be wisely chosen.

Unorthodox healing is beset by two enemies- one within and one without. The latter will be conquered in time, for Truth is always triumphant. The enemy within is more dangerous: intolerance and lack of broad-mindedness. It is strange that those things which we are fighting against should be so obvious in our own ranks! May be it is because, like all young things, we have to grow up. At present we are concerned with our own little ideas, and we tend to make our preferences our principles. The sacredness of our calling leaves no room for pettiness, and our foes should not be within our own household.

The system of medicine of which I write may be termed a branch of natural healing in that it is not dangerous; the remedies are used by the vital force of the Organism and not against its operations; toxins which prolonged fasts and heroic eliminative measures fail to remove make their speedy exit by means of this system. The remedies eliminate, normalise and rebuild, and tests by means of radiesthesia prove that the body of the sufferer craves for them. Surely this is natural healing! Those who wish to try out their ability with radiesthesia should experiment with a pendulum as suggested by Dr. Tomlinson in his introductory remarks.
