HOW IT WORKS

Every magnetic pattern in this book is derived from a natural substance with well-documented healing properties.
The "parent" remedy behind each Paper Doctor magnetic pattern exists first in a liquid form. Through a process to be described in this section, I have converted 58 different liquid remedies into 58 magnetic patterns you see in this book. Each pattern represents the unique essence or "energy signature" of one remedy's healing properties.

For example, the magnetic pattern for PHYSICAL INJURY, found on page 205, is derived from the homeopathic remedy Arnica, which has been used worldwide for almost 200 years. Arnica is itself derived from the common European and American herb Wolfsbane. Wolfsbane is known to promote healing of the soft tissues around bones after these tissues have been cut or bruised.

Some of the common complaints which Arnica is know to heal are:

These (somewhat technical) descriptions match some of the complaints people have after experiencing a fall, accident or other physical injury.

MAGNETIC PATTERNS STORE HEALING POTENTIAL

Each magnetic pattern in this book can be said to be "storing" one remedy's healing potential. Under the influence of a small magnetic field, the pattern will transfer a "copy" of this healing potential to a neutral substance positioned in the center of the pattern.

The Remedy Board (located in the back of this book) which you place under a pattern's page to make your remedy contains a magnet. This magnet supplies the force which "makes the copy". The water in your glass becomes the neutral substance into which the remedy's healing potential is transferred.

In this chapter I will describe both the basic concepts behind the use of magnetic patterns and the steps necessary to create them. Then I will discuss how the healing potential of a remedy can be transferred from any magnetic pattern in this book to the water in your glass. I will try to explain how ordinary tap water can store a remedy's healing potential until you drink it. This will lead me into a brief discussion of microdose pharmacology. Finally I will present evidence for how the healing potential in the water you drink can become a "message" to your Healing Response to relieve a complaint.

I first became interested in the concept of magnetic patterns when I read of the work being carried out by researchers in England and France, who have been using a technique called radiesthesia since 1940s to describe the healing energy in natural substances. These researchers have repeatedly demonstrated the presence of tiny energy fields surrounding all natural substances.

 
In their investigations, these researchers have explored the nature and possible function of these unique little fields. For example, they discovered that the energy field surrounding any pure substance is unique in size and shape to that substance alone. Different substances never exhibit the same energy field measurements, while different samples of the same substance always do. It is as though every substance on the Earth has its own unique "signature", represented by the size and shape of the energy field surrounding it.
 
Since I will use the phrase "energy field" frequently in this discussion, I want to explain what I mean by it. Energy field is the name I give to some kind of tiny force which can be detected by a trained human being using the techniques of radiesthesia.

Although an energy field has been found to surround all natural substances, its true nature is unknown. The working hypothesis of most radiesthetists is that these little energy fields are somehow related to the Earth's magnetic field.

Radiesthetists have discovered that natural impurities in a substance will distort its energy field measurements. Therefore it is more common for them to measure substances after they have been crushed, filtered and diluted into a neutral liquid such as alcohol or water, since in that state they will be less likely to contain impurities. So radiesthetic investigations are carried out with substances which have been converted to liquid form and stored in corked vials. Of course, when a sample is a liquid stored in a vial, it is possible to detect three distinct energy fields around it - one for the substance, one for the glass vial, and one for the cork!

As their work progressed, researchers discovered that all substances exhibit their strongest fields when aligned with magnetic North, or measured from an orientation to magnetic North. One application of this discovery was the introduction of a reference point system or "grid" from which more exacting measurements could be made. A typical grid looks like this:
The magnetic patterns printed in The Paper Doctor represent the unique energy field "signatures" of 58 different healing substances. As you can see, most energy fields extend only a few centimeters in any direction, so the measurements which must be made are quite small. From these measurements, a magnetic pattern is developed. This pattern is drawn over a grid to an accuracy of one-tenth of a millimeter. Once the pattern is developed, the grid is no longer necessary.

Since the Paper Doctor magnetic patterns are printed on the pages of this book without their grids, their shapes may seem arbitrary. However, they are not. Instead, each pattern is the result of careful measurements carried out on a grid oriented to magnetic North. A pattern can be accurately created only from this orientation. A deviation of even one degree will render any pattern less effective or even unworkable.

INTRODUCING MALCOLM RAE

Over the past few decades, many researchers have verified the presence of these energy field "signatures" surrounding natural substances. Several theories about the nature of these fields have developed, and many suggestions have been made as to their possible usefulness. However it took the genius of the late Malcolm Rae to discover how to use this phenomenon for its greatest healing potential.

Rae's work is described in detail in the book Dimensions of Radionics (see Resource Bibliography, page 362), so I will only summarize that part of it which directly relates to the creation of Paper Doctor magnetic patterns.

Why is the work of this man relevant to our discussion? Because to create the magnetic patterns presented in The Paper Doctor, I duplicated a portion of Malcolm Rae's research. I did this by carefully studying a written description of how he carried out his work, then I repeated his experiments step by step. The results I obtained were similar to his.

This process took several years. After a number of futile attempts, I learned how to correctly "survey" a remedy for its energy field boundaries. Eventually I was successful in creating a magnetic pattern which looked similar to Rae's, and which actually worked. One day I discovered that a remedy made from my pattern had relieved a volunteer's complaint! This first pattern was an early version of THE COLD PREVENTATIVE remedy found on page 277.

In the paragraphs that follow, I will briefly describe the key concepts and discoveries which make the Paper Doctor magnetic patterns possible.

Apparently Malcolm Rae set out in the 1960s to find a method of copying the healing potential of known therapeutic substances into a neutral medium (such as water). Before he began this work, Rae was fully aware that the possibility of "geometric healing", as this work was sometimes called, had been repeatedly discussed in the philosophical and medical literature of the Western culture since the writings of Plato. Many people have sought the secret to geometric healing, and thought that it lay hidden in the esoteric field known as Sacred Geometry.

Since the history and evolution of the idea of geometric healing is traced in a fascinating book by Malcolm Rae's friend Aubery Westlake, M.D., entitled The Pattern of health (see Resource Bibliography, page 362). I will refer you to that volume rather than digressing further here.

Although not medically licensed himself, Malcolm Rae was able to win the confidence of several physicians with his extraordinary ideas, his rigorous thinking, and his determination. It's a pity that he never wrote a book! I suppose that many of his ideas are now lost.

By working closely with a number of doctors, Rae was able to test his results clinically at each stage of the work. I emphasize this detail so that you will understand that Rae thoroughly verified each step of the process I am about to describe.

Analyzing the phenomenon of "energy field signatures" at the outset, Rae established that three elements must be present around any healing substance: the substance itself; the invisible but all-pervasive magnetic field of the Earth; and the invisible but radiesthetically detectable "field signature" of the substance under study.

Rae hypothesized that somehow a substance and the Earth's magnetic field interacted to form the unique field signature of that substance, one must have two elements: the presence of the Earth's magnetic field, and a representation of the field signature of the substance one wanted to recreate.

This line of thinking represented a radical departure from the traditional operations of Sacred Geometry, and opened up the possibility of new discoveries. Although it de-emphasized the role of geometry in the solution to the problem, it introduced magnetism into the equation, thereby providing a powerful new force for the development of a remedy's energy pattern.

Rae's experiments demonstrated that his observations and reasoning were correct. If he placed a geometric representation of the signature of a healing substance into the Earth's magnetic field, the healing properties of that substance could be duplicated into a neutral medium, such as water.

Radiesthetic researchers commonly measure the boundaries of the field signatures of various substances (in centimeters). They literally from the center of the substance to the edge of the field.

The "edge" is that location, some distance from the actual substance, at which the field appears to end. Naturally there are an infinite number of "edges" surrounding any substance. Even in the the two-dimensional plane the number is infinite. The question was, what minimum number of measurements would be needed to produce a unique field signature?

Through trial and error Rae discovered that eight measurements were sufficient to uniquely represent any substance. If he took eight measurements, each locating one portion of a field's edge, he would obtain a unique representation for that healing substance.

Rae measured his substance in eight common compass directions in a horizontal plane: North, South, East, West, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest.
By connecting the points depicting these measurements - delineating the various "edges" of the invisible field - Rae formed a geometric shape, or pattern, which represented the unique field signature of that substance.
Rae surmised that if he aligned the North measurement of his pattern so that it pointed to the Earth's magnetic North, his pattern would 'look' to the Earth's magnetic field as the substance itself.

Rae found that by making a drawing of the field signature of a substance, and aligning it to magnetic North, he could recreate the healing properties of that substance in a vial of water placed at its center!

Very elegant! Brilliant discoveries usually are. Remember though that Rae spent many years of concentrated effort working these ideas out, and testing them clinically.

That point which represented the center of a healing substance was not necessarily in the visual center of the geometric shape, or pattern, which Rae created. This is because most substances generate fields which are irregular in shape.

The small dot within each of the magnetic patterns in The Paper Doctor demonstrates this characteristic. The dot represent the energy center, rather than the visual center, of the healing substance. Each time you make a Paper Doctor remedy, center your glass of water carefully over this dot.

Once he had a geometric pattern which would duplicate the healing properties of a substance in a vial of water, Rae discovered that the remedy created would not be entirely accurate unless the pattern was exactly aligned to the Earth's magnetic North.

 
Here was a problem. One could not reasonably expect other people to carefully align each pattern before using it. It was too easy to make a error. No, something more was needed. Rae sought a device which would guarantee greater accuracy.

He found this device to be a small magnet. This 'local' magnet, even though small, was much more powerful - in the immediate are of the magnetic pattern - than the Earth's magnetic field. It would act as a substitute field to provide the force which enabled the transfer of the healing properties in any pattern to a glass of water.

The Remedy Board supplied with this book, when placed under a magnetic pattern page, provides this same "transfer force".
To satisfy yourself that the magnet in the Remedy Board supplied with this book has a force field sufficiently large to influence the water in a glass, get out your Paper Doctor Remedy Board. Now drop a pocket compass into a empty glass and slowly place the glass on the big dot on the Board. When the glass comes within 4 or 5 inches of the dot, you will see the compass needle begin to move. Clearly, the magnetic field of the magnet in the Remedy Board is large enough to influence the water (or anything else) placed into your glass.

But does this mean that a magnet can actually "do anything" to the water in a glass placed above it? Several experiments have published reports which conclude that, indeed, it can. Perhaps the best known of these is the work of Dr. Bernard Grad, carried out during 1960s at McGill University. At the time Dr. Grad was studying whether psychic healers actually exerted any beneficial effects on sick persons. During the course of his work, in a double-blind study he convincingly demonstrated that magnetized water stimulated the growth of plant seedlings.
(Bernard Grad, "Some Biological Effects of Laying on of Hands and Their Implications", Dimensions of Holistic Healing, ed. Otto & Knight, Nelson-Hall, Chicago, 1979.)

EXPERIMENT WITH MAGNETIZED WATER

You can try a magnetized water experiment for yourself. Here's how.

The next time you have a complaint which you think a Paper Doctor remedy might help, place 1/8 inch of tap water into three identical small round glasses. Set the first glass aside as a control. You have nothing to it.

Place the second glass directly on a large black dot on the Paper Doctor Remedy Board. Do not use any remedy pattern under this glass. You hope to end up with only "magnetized water". Wait 5 minutes. The water in this glass should be magnetized. Remove the glass. Set it aside marked as magnetized water.

Now make the Paper Doctor remedy you think will ameliorate your complaint. This will also take five minutes. When done, set this glass aside too, marked as a remedy.

Now the experiment begins: First drink glass number 1, the plain tap water. Wait 15 to 30 minutes. Can you tell any difference in yourself, or in your complaint?

If your complaint is still present, drink glass number 2, containing the magnetized water. Wait 15 to 30 minutes. Can you tell any difference in yourself, or in your complaint?

If your complaint is still present, drink glass number 3, containing the Paper Doctor remedy. Wait 15 to 30 minutes. Can you tell any difference in yourself, or in your complaint?

Under the best conditions, assuming the Paper Doctor remedy you chose was the right remedy for your complaint, this is what might have happened:

After glass number 1, no change.

After glass number 2, some improvement, but not necessarily in your complaint. Magnetized water alone may have some healing (or stimulating) properties.

After glass number 3, a definite improvement in your complaint.

You may have to carry out this experiment more than once to be certain of the results.

Try using this experiment as an ice breaker at your next party. It will get people talking!

SUMMING UP MALCOLM RAE'S CONTRIBUTION

Malcolm Rae continued his research for more than 15 years, eventually developing a clinically-precise system for reproducing the healing potential of various remedies from printed patterns.

Rae's system requires the use of an expensive instrument, and is designed for use by trained professionals, but it does provide the precise control over remedy dosages necessary for medical research. His method still uses patterns, but they are now more abstract and no longer display the characteristic eight-sided geometric shapes found in The Paper Doctor which are so visually informative of each remedy's healing potential.

Here is an example of a pattern I have made in a design similar to Malcolm Rae's abstract patterns. Each magnetic pattern is a series of concentric circles. They differ from one another only in the number and location of the partial radii within each pattern.

One advantage to circular magnetic patterns is that a pattern can be any of several sizes yet store and transfer the same healing potential. Therefore uniformly small patterns can be made. But on the negative side, the patterns lose their visual meaning. In other words the analogical information of a remedy's healing potential is stored as a series of angular proportions rather than in a loose but unique shape.

Rae's system is in use today by physicians and researchers around the world. That portion of his work which I have briefly described here is intended to sketch his development of a magnetic pattern which would successfully store and transfer the healing potential of a remedy, as well as to convey the depth of my indebtedness to this man, and to those who worked with him, including David Tansley, D.C.

Now you have an idea as to how magnetic patterns are made, let's discuss the steps necessary to make a remedy from a magnetic pattern. One of the key questions to investigate is: how can ordinary water hold the healing potential of a remedy?

To answer this question, we must briefly investigate some of the properties of water.

THE PROPERTIES OF WATER

Water, ordinary drinking water, turns out to be a deceptively complex substance, many of whose properties are still under scientific investigation. For example, water is known as the universal solvent; you can dissolve just about anything in it. Why is this? Water has a number of unique characteristics. One of them, known as its "dipole moment", allows a water molecule to attract the molecules of most other substances. When a substance is dissolved in water, its ionic and/or molecular bonds are broken. If an electrolyte, such as salt, has been dissolved, the individual ions are separated and a 'dipole envelope' is formed around each ion. In the case of non-electrolytes, such as sugars and organic molecules, labile structures are formed and other complicated events occur which are not yet understood. These properties demonstrate that water is a deceptively complex substance.

But is water able to store a remedy's healing potential until you are ready to drink it? And if so, how?

Water molecules are known to be capable of storing and releasing energy. They can do this in four different ways. These storage modes are known to physicists as kinesis, spin, vibration and excitation. Each mode occurs only when specific temperature conditions arise within the molecules.

KINETIC STORAGE

The kinetic mode describes energy which is stored and released by molecules as they continually collide with other molecules in a haphazard fashion. This type of energy storage occurs as water is heated; it is random and unreliable, since energy stored will be quickly lost when the water boils, and lost in an unpredictable manner. Such unpredictability makes the kinetic mode an unlikely candidate for storing the healing potential of a Paper Doctor remedy.

SPIN STORAGE

The spin mode occurs between water molecules which have been heated to at least 100 degrees Fahrenheit, so that they override the mechanics of the force holding them together (known as their dipole moment) and literally spin around each other for brief periods. This mode can only occur in water molecules which have been heated to the simmering point, on their way to a boil. Spin energy occurs frequently in microwave cooking. But it only occurs at a temperature above which all life forms to die. Obviously it is an unsuitable mechanism for storing a remedy's healing potential.

EXCITATION STORAGE

Excitation, or electronic excitation as it is formally called, is a form of research-induced energy storage capable of great strength and intensity. By shooting high energy particles at selected substances, scientists can actually alter the orbits of the electrons within these substances so that they produce tremendous energies. This type of research has led to the development of lasers and other powerful controlled-beam tools. Certainly not the province of The Paper Doctor! I mention excitation here in order to remind you that the subtle elemental forces we are exploring can be powerful indeed.

VIBRATION STORAGE

So we are left with vibratory storage. It is the only other known mode of energy storage within the molecules of common substance such as water. What are the characteristics of vibration storage?

Upon examination, vibration storage is a good candidate to explain how water can hold the healing potential of a remedy. When a molecule absorbs energy, it vibrates more intensely. Water molecules can vibrate (hold energy) for long periods of time, then later release their energy, returning to a less vibratory state. In other words, vibration storage is relatively stable and predictable.

Vibratory storage can occur in water when it is gaseous, liquid or even frozen. In fact, recent experiments have demonstrated that patterns known to have placed in liquid water, were still present after the water was frozen, then thawed back to the liquid state.

PATTERN STORAGE

But can water store patterns? Photographs taken with polarized light have clearly shown the formations of ice crystal structures in pure frozen water, whether it is distilled water, rain water, or tap water. When a healing substance, such as the Arnica mentioned at the beginning of this section, is added to water, polarized light photography reveals a change in that water's crystal structure. In other words, the distilled water 'looks different' to the camera after Arnica is added to it. One might expect this.

But surprisingly, the new pattern continues to be seen even after the healing substance (Arnica in our example) has been diluted (with more water) - even when it is diluted so thoroughly that not one molecule of the original remedy could possibly remain in the water! After the actual remedy is gone, some pattern or "shadow" of its presence persists.

The experiments I refer to occurred like this: Commercial distilled water is photographed.

Now Arnica is added to the water and it is photographed again.
The water appears changed as a result of the addition of the Arnica, as we would expect.

Now this water, containing the Arnica, is diluted repeatedly with more distilled water, until the mathematical possibility of even one molecule of Arnica remaining is very remote.

This state, in which the dissolved substance is entirely remove from the diluent, is reached by a methodical process. One part of the substance is diluted in nine parts of water. This is repeated 24 times, each time using only one tenth of the previously mixture.

 
First dilution 
  one 
part 
Arnica 
  nine 
parts

  1 in 10

Second dilution 
  one 
part

  one 
part 
of 
1 in 100 
solution 
  nine 
parts 
water 
  1 in 1000 
solution 
and so forth ... 
 
After this process is completed, the likelihood of any molecules of the substance remaining in the mixture becomes zero. This result is predicted by a chemical equation known as Avogadro's constant.

Now the water is photographed again. If all the Arnica was removed, the pattern portrayed should match the original distilled water photograph.

But is does not! Conclusion: some "pattern of information" about the presence of the Arnica remains clearly visible in the water.
(Paul Callinan, N.D., D.Hom., Ph.D., "Homeopathy, How And Why It Works", Simply Living, Vol. 3, Number 9.)

Obviously more research must be done in this area, since phenomena exist which have interesting possibilities which can't easily be explained. The work I have been describing represent the domain of a new branch of pharmacology that only emerged in the 1980s. It is known to researchers as Hormesis.
(Sagan, "What is Hormesis and Why Haven't We Heard of It Before?", Hormetic Effects in Pharmacology, Health Physics, 1987.)

Now we can establish that the healing potential of an actual remedy can be transferred to the water in a glass, and represented there by a photographable pattern. But how does this pattern stimulate the human organism to heal? In order to answer this question, we must introduce the idea of non-chemical remedies as bio-information.

ONE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DRUGS AND PAPER DOCTOR REMEDIES

Prescription drugs (as well as over-the-counter drugs and illegal drugs) are chemical agents which works by dissolving in your stomach, then being absorbed either in your stomach or through the lining of your intestines into the blood stream, where they circulate to all parts of the body, affecting the function of selected organs, tissues and cells as they go. We have been taught how medicines work in public schools, so healing by chemical action seems natural and familiar.

Paper Doctor remedies, known technically as microdoses, work on an altogether different principle. They bypass the stomach and blood stream, acting directly on the nervous system, which is the message center for the organism. When you drink a Paper Doctor remedy, its pattern acts to send a "message" to the Healing Response, that inner intelligence which controls and regulates the bodily processes. Just how this occurs cannot explained - yet. That it occurs has been repeatedly observed.

You will experience this phenomenon in action each time you use Paper Doctor remedies. At first it may seem magical because your complaints will disappear "like magic" without you're being able to feel anything happening. But of course, any unfamiliar technology appears to be magical at first. The radio was magical to my parents. Television was the magic in my childhood. Is not the view of planet Earth from a space shuttle still pretty magical? The difference between magic and technology is largely a matter of familiarity.

THE IDEAS OF MESSAGES

The idea that a healing substance may work by non-chemical means, transferring its "message" directly to the body, comes from a relatively new (and controversial) branch of medical research known as psychoneuroimmunology, PNI for short. PNI research attempts to establish a scientific explanation for how people can influence their illness merely by their beliefs.

Although originally begun as a study of how spontaneous remissions of potentially fatal illnesses (such as cancer) can occur, PNI research has led to an intense study of the processes governing both the natural pathways of the nervous system and the autoimmune response (the body's remarkable ability to defend itself against foreign invaders). PNI researchers have established that both the nervous and the immune system are capable of learning, and of transferring information along their pathways in a non-chemical form.
(Lecture by Margaret E. Kemeny, Ph.D. entitled "The Immune System: Minding The Body and Embodying The Mind" given in the fall of 1989 in San Diego.)
The information that is transferred is known as bio-information.

This same little-understood mechanism can account for the transfer of the "message" in a Paper Doctor remedy from the water you drink to that defense center in your organism which I call the healing Response.

Though this mechanism is not well understood, we can deduce that it exists since drinking the water containing a remedy "does something". Precisely how the pattern of healing information in the water affects your body cannot yet be explained.

To test this further:

The next time you have a complaint which you think a Paper Doctor remedy might help, place 1/8 inch of tap water into two identical small round glasses. Label each glass on its bottom with identical labels, and numbers them 1 and 2.

Set glass number 1 aside as a control.

Make your chosen remedy in glass number 2 in the usual way.

Now "shuffle" the glasses until you are certain you can't tell which is which. Arbitrarily choose one of the glasses and drink the water in it. Wait 15 to 30 minutes.

Can you tell any difference in yourself, or in your complaint?

Remember, if you have to imagine that your complaint might be better - it's not.

Once you have decided that your complaint is either better or not better, look at the label on the glass. Did you drink the control or the remedy?

What do you conclude from this small-sample, single-blind experiment?

IS IT PLACEBO?

My medical dictionary defines placebo as any substance which has no intrinsic therapeutic value, but which is given to satisfy a patient's symbolic need for drug therapy. In other words, placebo is an inert substance which can't do anything to relieve your complaint unless it works just because you believe it will. Through the use of a placebo, many fantastic cures of serious and even fatal illness have been recorded over the years.

So what is a placebo? After intense study, PNI researchers have concluded that people definitely have the ability to trigger powerful self-healing forces in their bodies. The placebo effect appears to be one name for the action of this little-understood mechanism.

Formerly considered a medical nuisance, the placebo effect is now recognized as a powerful ally, but a notoriously unreliable one. In other words, no one can predict when and for whom it will be working.

However, comprehensive studies over the past 20 years have demonstrated that 55% of the therapeutic benefit of all drugs is due to the placebo effect. This means that more than half of the people who took placebo, but thought they were taking some powerful drug, received a beneficial effect similar to those who actually took the drug. This holds true even for morphine - a powerful pain-killer used to ameliorate intense pain.
(Evans, F., "Expectancy, Therapeutic Instructions, and the Placebo Response", in White, Tursky & Schwartz, Placebo: Theory, Research & Mechanism, Guildford Press, New York, 1985.)

Because of these statistics, no one can claim that their drug, remedy, or other therapeutic regimen is not sometimes just a placebo. For many people who use any remedy, including Paper Doctor remedies, placebo will be operating a lot of time.

However, there's more. Pharmacists automatically label any non-chemical remedy a placebo because the definition of "intrinsic therapeutic value" is a substance containing at least one chemically-active ingredient. By this standard Paper Doctor remedies must be placebo.

Vibrational medicine is by definition non-chemical. It is so new, there is no category for it in pharmaceutical thinking. So vibrational medicine remains unrecognized and untested. But how can you test it? What tests could be made if all the testing standards are based on the assumption of "active ingredients"?

Perhaps you can begin to see why Paper Doctor magnetic patterns, and other forms of vibrational medicine, require a paradigm shift. It's not only that they are a new form of medicine. To admit that they have some validity is to call into question some of the most fundamental assumptions of existing biochemical-oriented therapeutics.

INTRODUCING THE MICRODOSE

What is a microdose? It is the pharmacological term given to a special method of drug preparation, the kind used to produce Arnica and the other healing substances which "parent" the Paper Doctor magnetic patterns.

Microdoses are known to pharmacologists (those people who study and prepare drugs) as "threshold doses". Microdoses exist only at the low end of the standard pharmacological scale known as the Dose-Response Curve.

The Dose-Response Curve demonstrate the fundamental pharmacological principle that an increase dose of a drug will always give an increased effect, while a reduced dose gives a reduced effect. This principle always holds true for chemical substances.

It is this phenomenon that has led medical researchers to use toxic (but hopefully not fatal) doses of their drugs as medications. The Dose-Response curve explains why over-the-counter medications are advertised as "extra strength" or "more powerful". The basic idea is that increased beneficial effects can only occur from an increased dose. This same phenomenon causes the problem that people experience when using medical drugs - their toxicity.

Hormesis focuses on a phenomenon which apparently contradicts the Dose-Response Curve, namely that minute doses (microdoses) can also give powerful healing effects.

Hormesis studies the healing effects of extremely minute doses, those found in that part of the Dose-Response curve where formerly no beneficial effects were thought to occur.

Microdoses are very dilute solutions which exhibit healing potential only after all traces of the original or "patent" substance have been removed by dilution. Since they are so dilute, microdose remedies contain no active ingredients. This is why they have no side effects or other harmful consequences. Paper Doctor remedies, existing only as vibratory patterns in the water in your glass, are a by-product of microdose pharmacology.

THE BODY IS ALSO A STANDING WAVE FORM

Yes, I know about organs and organ systems, tissues and cells, biochemistry, bacteria, viruses and DNA. For the past several hundred years medicine has sought "the cause of disease" in one or more of these solid, discrete body components.

But that's not whole story. The human body is also a hierarchically-arranged structure of interacting energy patterns. Taken together, these patterns form a standing wave.

What is a standing wave? It is an energy form that appears to be an object. Waves rolling across the ocean appear as little walls of water moving across its surface. But that isn't so. In fact, the water molecules merely rotate up and down while the energy of the wave form moves through them. The water molecules don't go anywhere. Only the wave energy actually "moves along".

The human body appears to be solid and "real". But if you date to look at it closely enough, its solidity dissolves into patterns of energy that are moving through time.

TWO VIEWS OF THE HUMAN BODY

 
   
The Body As Solid 
Object Composed 
Of Discrete Parts 
The Body As A 
Standing Wave 
 
Contemporary research in a number of fields is driving toward an astonishing conclusion: that the "world" we experience and claim to live in is not real. It does not exist except as a product of our consciousness (whatever that is).
(Fred Alan Wolf, The Body Quantum, Macmillan, New York, 1986.)

For example, we can only experience "the world" as a stream of sensory data: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin constantly bring us data about our surroundings. However, this data is crude, unformed, blurred and indistinct. It is defined after it passes beyond our sensory receptacles, that is, either in or on the way to the brain. This means that to a large degree we determine what we experience!
("It is the observation itself that brings the physical world into existence." This astonishing quote can be found in George Greenstein's The Symbiotic Universe, William Morrow and Co., New York, 1988, page 222.)

In addition, our sensory "window" are open to only a minute part of the total electromagnetic spectrum. Because we can directly experience only a small part of the data exchange occurring in the Universe, we believe ourselves to be "discrete objects living in a world".

With the index finger of your right hand, touch the chair you are sitting on. What do you feel? Your chair, of course! No! Scientists say that you only experience one variety of the sensation you call touch. Touching just triggers the selective stimulation of a small part of your nervous system. You can feel something of your finger, but never the chair! Think about that.
(Fred Alan Wolf, The Body Quantum, Macmillan, New York, 1986.)

For the past 50 years, physicists have repeatedly demonstrated beyond a doubt that when they try to manipulate the smallest discrete entities in the universe - the components of atoms - they become energy packets, or waves! E=mc2 means that our solid, dependable world is really empty space filled with very complex energy patterns.

When medical researchers probe far enough, they too will discover what the physicists already know - that the human body is an energy illusion, and that the "cause" of disease they so earnestly seek probably lies in distortions of some of our energy patterns. This hypothesis is the basis of my claim that Paper Doctor magnetic patterns are "the medicine of the future."

If the apparently solid human body is really a highly complex set of energy patterns, and the Paper Doctor magnetic patterns can transfer a pattern of energy to the water in your glass, then perhaps when you drink the water, one set of patterns, through the principle of resonance, is able to influence the other, and ameliorate your complaint.

Although now in its infancy, energy medicine is literally the wave of the future!

CONCLUSION

So how does it work? Paper Doctor magnetic patterns obviously cannot operate according to the biochemical principles which we have all been taught rule the body and govern its mechanisms. To judge magnetic patterns on a biochemical basis is ludicrous. If we are to take them seriously at all, magnetic patterns must be judged according to some non-chemical framework. But what? This is where a paradigm shift in our ideas about the nature of health and illness takes place. We need to recognize that the body can be healed by very subtle resonant energies, as well as by biochemical intervention.

I propose that magnetic patterns, and the "water remedies" which can be made from them, make use of at least five subtle and little-noticed but powerful principles of Nature:

  1. The all-pervasive but invisible power of magnetism.
    Long recognized by physicists as one of the four fundamental building blocks of Creation, magnetism is all but ignored by our culture. Unlike gravity, a subtle, all-pervasive force we can't ignore, magnetism appears to have no effect on us. But is this really true? Experiment to appreciate the power of magnetism: carry a pocket compass with you all times. Where on this Earth can you go that the compass doesn't register anything?!
  1. The ability of water to store patterns of energy.
Water dissolves and transports substances, and nourishes life. Apparently it also temporarily retains a record of this activity, which we can observe as patterns of energy impressed upon its surface, or carried within its molecular structure.
    1. The ability of geometric patterns to store healing potential.
This phenomenon is surprising. It is a discovery wrung from Nature by Malcolm Rae's rigorous experimentation.
  1. The essentially energetic nature of all matter, including the human body.
It is only the limited electromagnetic 'window' provided by our sense organs that keeps us ignorant of this fundamental fact of existence.
    1. The body's ability to transfer information by non-chemical means.
It appears that the body/mind mechanism may use bio-information to control some of its most important processes, including the Healing Response.
When you use magnetic patterns, you take advantage of these natural principles to set in motion a healing process which works by charging some of the subtle energies, not the chemistry, in your body.
(The man who has pioneered the identification and description of possible energy-controlling subtle mechanism in the body is Robert O. Becker. Two important works are The Body Electric: Electromagnetism And The Foundation Of Life, William Morrow, New York, 1985 and Cross Currents: The Perils of Electropollution, The Promise of Electromedicine, J.P. Tarcher, Los Angeles, 1990.)

The work of many physicians, researchers and lay people over 25 centuries of observation, discussion, treatment, experimentation, and evaluation has been necessary to bring Paper Doctor remedies to you. Countless medical pioneers - both researchers and clinicians - have contributed to our understanding of the Healing Response, to the discovery of microdose pharmacology, and to the development of effective magnetic patterns. As more people become concerned about the toxic nature of the drugs they take, microdose pharmacology will grow. Your interest in and use of Paper Doctor remedies will contribute to this growth.
