Summary

Background: Empiric knowledge of the existence of geopathic zones (‘water veins’ etc) is probably as old as humankind. It has often been tried to experimentally detect direct influences on the body. However, so far, there have been no publications in accepted biomedical journals. The tar- get of this study was to verify influences of 2 different zones above ground on the human body and to test a device for which pilot studies have indi- cated a potential harmonizing effect in this context. Materials and Methods: Using a randomized, non-clinical, double-blinded trial design, 52 persons were tested with a gas discharge visualization (GDV) system whilst staying on 2 zones with or without the Geowave® device (Geowave-Research, Salzburg, Austria).

The 2 zones investigated had been dowsed by experienced professional dowsers and labeled with black dots in a non-persua- sive manner, thereby blindly representing areas of geopathy or more neutral zones. The main analytical parameter was the GDV glow image area (area of glow). Complementary calculated parameters were spatial fractali- ty, corona projections and corona diagrams.

Results: In the geopathic zone, the detected areas of glow were statistically significantly smaller than in the more neutral zone. With the Geowave blindly mounted in an adjacent room of the above story, a marked increase of the glow image area was found in both zones. The corona projections showed well-recognizable points of body energy deficits in the geopathic zone, mostly associated with the lym- phatic system, the cardiovascular system and the pineal gland, which were – to a distinctly lesser degree – also present in the more neutral zone.

The device tested yielded compensation or harmonization in both zones in most of the test persons.

Conclusion: The significant differences in the physical area of glow parameter, which were also noticed for the comple- mentary parameters analyzed, lead to the conclusion that the 2 different zones within the same room (geopathic vs. more neutral zone) exerted dif- ferent influences on the human body, which may have caused a geopathic stress phenomenon. As a result, individually different retardation of the im- mune system and other organs may occur. The device tested in both zones showed harmonizing effects, which may help to compensate some influ- ences of geopathy and possibility also superimposed stressors derived from certain other sources, such as technical electromagnetic fields.

Introduction

Material and Methods

The influence of geopathic zones on the human body has not yet been proven by scientifically accepted techniques. The existence of the phenomenon has been known for a few thousand years, maybe even since the early roots of humankind. Publications presenting scientific evidence of directly measurable effects of presumed geopathic zones on the human body are very rare, but numerous harmful and sometimes beneficial effects have been reported in ‘public’ literature [1–6]. Dowsing, a valuable and low-cost way of detecting potential wells and circumventing effects of possible geopathy, e.g. in bed- rooms, is being used all over the world. However, only few studies exist dealing with the abilities of dowsers in a scientific way. The ‘Munich Barn Experiments’ and extensive field studies on the dowsing phenomenon conducted by an interdisciplinary research team during the 1980’s and 1990’s still is considered the current state of the art as regards the usability of dowsing for finding water access [7–11]. Possible influences at- tributed to geopathy phenomena have been widely reported by the mass media, albeit without scientific proof. Apparently, geopathy does not only influence humans but all kinds of ani- mals, plants, fungi and bacteria. Geopathic stress is thought to be related to different kinds of natural radiation, at least in part rising up from the ground. Some of the effects appear to be associated with naturally occurring streams of underground water and with bands of interference fields on the surface. Most likely, there also are other, so far unknown causes. It is beyond the scope of this article to explain, measure and prove their origin. Even amongst geologists and biophysicists, views differ on this extremely complex subject [8].

Here, we present an experimental study involving the gas dis- charge visualization (GDV) technique known from the fields of biophysics and complementary medicine [12–16]. The re- sults are being discussed in context to existing literature on geopathy-related phenomena. Using the latest generation of scientifically designed GDV equipment and software, we in- vestigated whether certain zones above ground – suggested by professional dowsers to represent either a geopathic zone or a more neutral zone – would exert an influence on the human body. In the same setup, a device known as Geowave® (Geowave-Research, Salzburg, Austria) was to be tested for possible harmonizing effects on geopathy-related stress. The present study combines measurement and analysis of the evoked image glow area with complementary conclusions drawn from whole body corona diagrams and projections. The image glow area parameter is gaining more and more ac- ceptance in the scientific community and is to be regarded as the main factor in our study. All other (calculated) parame- ters (such as fractality, corona diagrams and projections) pre- sented in this manuscript are complementary data. Although their value has not yet been verified, these data are also pre- sented here, as they generally go in line with published data on stress.

Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund: Empirisches Wissen um die Existenz geopathischer Störzo- nen (unter anderem «Wasseradern») ist vermutlich so alt wie die Mensch- heit. Die Publikation eines Nachweises möglicher Wirkungen in anerkann- ten medizinischen Zeitschriften steht bisher aus. Ziele der vorliegenden Ar- beit waren der Versuch, standortabhängige Einflüsse auf den Menschen zu belegen und eine Vorrichtung zu testen, der man ausgleichende Wirkung nachsagt.

Material und Methoden: In einer randomisierten, nichtklinischen Doppelblindstudie wurden 52 Testpersonen unter Verwendung der Gasent- ladungs-Visualisierung (GDV) an je zwei Standorten mit und ohne Geowa- ve®-Vorrichtung (Geowave-Research, Salzburg, Österreich) untersucht. Die beiden Messstandorte waren zuvor von erfahrenen Radiästheten «gemu- tet» und die gefundenen geopathischen Störzonen bzw. neutraleren Zonen auf dem Boden nichtpersuasiv mit schwarzen Punkten markiert worden. Als Hauptanalyseparameter diente die Gasentladungsfläche (glow image area). Ergänzend wurden auch die spatiale Fraktalität, Corona-Projektionen und Corona-Diagramme einbezogen. Ergebnisse: Auf der geopathischen Zone fanden sich statistisch hochsignifikant kleinere Werte der Gasentla- dungsfläche als auf der neutraleren Zone. War die Geowave-Vorrichtung im Nebenraum montiert, fand sich auf beiden Zonen eine hochsignifikante Vergrösserung der Gasentladungsfläche. Bei den Corona-Projektionen und -Diagrammen fanden sich auf der Störzone gut erkennbare Einbrüche, zu- meist in den Bereichen, die mit dem lymphatischen System, dem Herz- Kreislauf-System und dem Pinealorgan assoziiert werden. Auf der neutra- leren Zone waren diese als Energiedefizite gewerteten Glow-Verminderun- gen weniger stark ausgeprägt. Die Verwendung der Geowave-Vorrichtung führte bei den meisten Probanden zu einem deutlich erkennbaren Aus- gleich auf beiden Zonen.

Schlussfolgerung: Die dargestellten Unterschiede bezüglich der Gasentladungsfläche, welche sich analog auch bei den ande- ren Parametern deutlich zeigten, lassen den Schluss zu, dass an beiden unterschiedlichen Aufenthaltsorten im gleichen Raum (geopathische Stör- zone vs. neutralere Zone) tatsächlich unterschiedliche Einflüsse auf den Menschen vorhanden waren, die besonders im Fall der Störzone ein geo- pathisches Stressphänomen bewirkt haben. Damit einhergehend wurden individuell unterschiedliche Belastungen des Immunsystems und einiger anderer Organsysteme angezeigt. Die untersuchte Vorrichtung zeigte auf beiden Standorten messbar harmonisierende Effekte, mit denen bestimmte Aspekte äusserer geopathischer Einflüsse sowie anderer überlagernder (z.B. elektromagnetischer) Belastungen ausgeglichen werden dürften.
