Our modern technologies are bombarding us with electromagnetic fields (EMFs) now more than ever. Are EMFs really harmful and if so, to what degree? Are all EMFs bad? The EMF controversy has now pitted scientists, action groups and the technology industry into rigid corners. In "Electromagnetic Health," the author clearly and objectively presents the evidence and latest research from a perspective that embraces both the scientific and natural health communities. The entire spectru...

The link between the human anatomy and consciousness continues to mystify modern medical science. The Conscious Anatomy reveals the scientific evidence that illuminates the connection between consciousness and the body's metabolic processes. This evidence substantiates many key doctrines brought to us from the ancient traditional medicines, enabling a science-based clarification of 'mind-body-spirit.' The Conscious Anatomy reveals the hidden elements of intention and consciousness buried b...

The last few centuries have brought a host of theories regarding the nature of the mind and its relationship to the brain. Research has progressed significantly over the past few decades, with the advancement of imaging technologies such as electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetoencephalography (MEG). As results from these imaging systems have been interwoven with holographic waveform technologies, a new vision of the brains techn...

This book presents the state of the art, principles and ideas of Electrophotonic analysis based on Gas Discharge Visualisation (GDV) technique, known as well as Electrophotonic Imaging (EPI). This approach, celebrating now 15 years after developing the first GDV instrument, has a strong scientific foundation with thousands of researchers, doctors and practitioners using it in the world. Electrophotonic methods allow to study Energy Fields of humans, water, materials and environment. Concep...

Strength or the ability to express force is one of the several basic physical characteristics that determine performance efficiency in different sports disciplines. Each event varies in the claims it makes on strength, and consequently in the interest of specificity, we should consider its relationship to other conditional abilities. Upon analysis of various sporting activities, it can be stated that all sportspersons require different types of strength in different quantities. This requir...

Dr. Elsersawi, a pioneer in the filed of electricity and its effect in living things, challenges the traditional mechanistic in our thinking about the living inner process of magnetism. He found clues to the interaction between electromagnetic field and the human body. Like the gravity of the earth and the quantum in the universe, the magnet has different effect on different regions of the earth and the universe. The strength and location of natural magnetic fields on the earth can influen...
