ABSTRACT
Magnetic Fields have not provided on-the-fly diagnostic ability for alternative and traditional
practitioners and doctors because it is Electric Fields which hold the key to our understanding of disease,
especially those carried by environmental effects. In this experiment, three trials were conducted over a
year’s time, looking at the possibility of charge-related neural immunocompromised states, the effects of
weather, sun, and moon. Sample sizes were robust enough to establish low standard deviation for the
treatment efficacy (0.24/10) in self-reported ordinal pain and significance single-case data. Results show
clear relationships between Electric Fields at local complaint sites, and change in pain reporting, and in all
trials maintains an overunity ratio while all controls remain underunity. Various types of controls were
introduced to eliminate noise and interference and human error. Results showed staggering potential, and
indeed unexpected possible correlations that demand three different trials as a follow-up. In this paper the
full hypothesis is explained as well as the designs, controls, and criticisms to the approach and theory are
provided.
This work is important because for the first time Chinese Medicine, particularly acupuncture stands
upon hard physics and not subjective data or “sham” controls which are fraught with criticisms even when
they demonstrate interesting correlations. The efficacy of the medicine is proved through three trials as a
side-note, despite problems with self-reported data (in general). Gender is considered as well as alternative
modalities, though sample size for tuina, guasha, and cupping were not significant in enough of the
experiment to be considered conclusive. Solar wind density and speed data, solar flare data, and moon phase
data show intriguing correlations between pain reporting, particularly change in pain during a single session.
Moving averages show relationships between solar wind density, moon phase, and dPx. Potential
explanations dwell on the power of protons in dendritic pathways to disrupt normal action potential
behaviors.

Complete Analysis
Introduction: Hypotheses
While pursuing the source of the Chinese Medicine (TCM) saying, “Wind is the carrier/source of 10,000
diseases,” the author was simultaneously contemplating a previous hypothesis about Qi () which involves
1 2
supposed “magnetic scalar waves” while learning about cosmic rays, and solar forcing data. The author’s
3
intuition kicked in. “What if charges could become trapped in tissue, particularly nerve tissue?” After acquiring
the Trifield 100XE, the author made a test of the idea that “Qi could be charge (Q)” in clinic. Many types of
interference interrupted those early observations. It soon became clear that while negative charges cannot be
definitively proven to be positive Qi (zhengqi), instead another exciting observation developed…. many chief
complaints presented demonstrated elevated electrical fields, often over 5 V/m etc… The author began to
notice as well that, in most cases, post treatment the E-field (but not the magnetic (B) field) would return to 0
V/m.
The first phase of the experiment set out to test this correlation to determine if there was plausible
causation. The hypothesis being twofold: (1) that charge indicated disease presence or some other alteration
of normal neural behavior, and (2) if an E-field measurement was a reliable indicator of the presence of
“negative energy” (bingqi) which could be used as a diagnostic tool in the detection and reduction of
4
symptoms.
The results from Phase 1 were promising enough to justify a second trial. The concerns that arose out
of room interference and the author’s concerns over static electricity gathered from walking across the carpet
combined with a third concern: could atmospheric conditions alter not only the treatment results but the E-field
(Ef) results? In short: did weather matter? A series of controls were established, but also new variables or
problems were introduced. However, the results, though slightly more sober (~2 V/m less in deltaE on
average), the controls clearly demonstrated the confirmation of Phase 1’s second hypothesis.
Secondly, in both phases 1 and 2, max changes were measured, and in this there was an expectation
of an increased max deltaE (dE). This was not the case.
But, the hypothesis regarding weather effects was suggestive enough to warrant a third phase of
experimentation. Firstly the sample size had been large overall, but not large enough per type of weather.
Unfortunately, the timing of Phase 3 has not remedied this issue, but it did not affect Phase 3. Future study
specifically on weather conditions will be useful for a clarification.
The author was interested in the variation of Ef from the door to the room. A second identical model
Trifield was employed to make measurements on tile (pre-carpet) after entering from the outside. So the
controls were the following: (1) measurements pre-carpet by secondary helper, (2) same non-cc control
measurement in room as Phase 1, (3) same random “placebo” measurements also randomly assigned to
several of the cases. Unfortunately, double-blinding is not possible in this type of intervention study, nor is it
necessary or relevant. It would probably be unhelpful as data shows that the efficacy of the treatment is

affected by patient-practitioner interaction . Rather, the reliability of the device itself must account for error.
5
However, obviously variations in measurement distance from tissue remain a constant issue. Luckily, electric
fields carry energy very efficiently even through air and within 1-2 inches is “good enough” since the Trifield is
analog and not precise enough to measure beyond a standard deviation of +/- 2 V/m .
6
Thirdly, the effects of the moon needed to be cross-correlated with weather and solar data. Once the
Var_mag (variability magnitude) data made it clear that condition and weather condition variability had a drastic
effect on the Ef (but not on the Bf), a third phase of experimentation was constructed around a different method
of controls (see next part). The hypothesis from Phase 1 and 2 were seeking confirmation under stricter
controls, such as precise cc naming using ICD-10, and a last hypothesis would be tested regarding the solar
wind. “Does the solar wind/solar forcing effect self reported pain changes or Ef or Bf delta?” The unique results
from Phase 2 regarding the cc would be able to be remeasured, as well as the weather, but more importantly,
the unexpected correlations of different Ef delta between the types of modalities used. Once again, too few
samples of cupping or guasha were available to confirm the data from Phase 2. However, as these are not of
primary concern, it was not crippling to the success or failure in Phase 3.
Each stage of experimentation provided unique alterations to the original hypothesis, and confirmations
as well as rejections. Although none of it has as of yet, involved the testing of “scalar magnetic waves,” the
experiment has fulfilled the original curiosities and yielded even more exciting data to warrant further study.
Magnetics has long been both touted and ridiculed as therapeutic related. However, precise enough
measurements that can ignore the normal “noise” of the Earth’s own magnetosphere and various building
interferences has not been demonstrated here. Still, in Phase 3 some interesting Bf results were found, which
indicate that a calmed nervous system, as predicted, results in a reduction of Bf. This may mean that medical
devices which combine the best measurements of all the modes (and more), combined into a reliable image,
will be of use to the therapist. But, as of yet, it is not found to be 100% correlated in the same way that Ef is.
Furthermore the author wants to stress that the hypothesis that charges are becoming lodged in nerves
and tissues (channels - jing-luo 經絡) as is suggested by the TCM (zhongyi 中醫) theory of “pores” cannot be
definitively proven without a very meticulous two step process of (1) highly controlled biopsy of selectively
determined tissues without draining charge via grounding and (2) microscopy of affected nerves to determine if
there are cellular changes, as predicted in TCM description of processes, such as ying () & wei ()
separation .
7 8
Although this cannot be definitively proven at this time, with this level of equipment, the results, based
on Solar Wind Density (SWD) (protons/cm
3
) are highly compelling. A further study of just SWD as compared
with changes in self-reported pain/significance and ICD-10 values will be performed, with an increased sample
size.

Design
Brief Explanation
The experimental trials utilize an analog electromagnetometer called the Trifield 100XE. It has received
numerous excellent reviews from the public and engineers alike. It is extremely reliable and sturdy. It is,
however, block-shaped. For this experiment, measurements were take with the dial facing upward and the top
surface facing the skin tissue, and held .5-1.5” away. Measurements were, necessarily, “eye readings” which
are notoriously difficult to prove precision.
Treatments given were a mixture. This entire experiment was not designed to prove TCM efficacy.
Efficacy is assumed based on the author’s solid reputation of thousands of cases and perfect reviews, as well
as a gold standard education at one of the nation’s most prestigious campuses. Efficacy proved, for all three
trials to remain within a narrow margin of each other (standard deviation of 0.24 based on delta values).

Equipment specs
The primary non-medical, electrical equipment for this experiment was the TriField Meter 100XE, and a
typical E-stim device. Values for electrical stimulation were not recorded, as the goal was to simply see if
introducing electricity changed either efficacy or electromagnetic values by some unknown process of charge
movement. Given that the electricity was to remain in a circuit, the expectation was no major statistical
difference should be observed. However, this was not the case, and it
must be concluded that the effect of electro-stimulation has profound
implications for leaving charge within the body, which would be
anti-therapeutic according to the Phase 1 secondary hypothesis. More
below.
Suffice it to say, the individual specs of the E-stim devices are
unnecessary. But they are listed anyway below Figure 4.

Phase 1 is simple enough. The patient provides their age, gender (Other was optional, but 0 reported
“other” in any of the three trials) and their chief complaint (cc). They indicated from 1 to 10 how serious their
condition was (either pain or significance), with 10 being “the worst ever imaginable.” The indicated site was
measured with the Trifield 100XE, along with (usually an opposite side) a control. Also a maximum Ef signal
was searched for (again maintaining .5-2” distance from body). Another control (generally an “average” or “eye
reading” of the device for the body anywhere was also recorded). At the end the cc and self reported pain were
taken, but not the control or avg. The interest in the maximum was to establish how the standard deviations
would not exceed the maximums in these experiments. Controls not being re-measured, and the use of a 1 to
10 scale were partly the reasons for the stricter re-design in Phase 2 trial. This being a trial designed to
generate veracity but not prove definitively, it was not considered absolutely vital. The author had also to
consider the patient’s time and patience for the intrusive new method. In later trials, these were not factors, and
indeed patients proved to be very interested in the process.
As a note, referring to Figure 2, and Figure 7, the author would like to point out that the typical pain drop
averaged 45% with a standard deviation of 0.24, or 8.91% of mean dPx (4.85% of Px_initial). These are
phenomenal results, and probably above par for TCM in general, as compared with the research. The author
will not push the point to say that the data indicates better potency than typical for the industry, but will simply
insist that the efficacy of TCM in general is very good. But, probably this average drop will depend highly on the
types of conditions. That data will not be presented as this study is not about TCM efficacy specifically.
However, it very well could be done, considering the high standard deviation. It is easier to discount the
self-reporting numbers as coming from notoriously unreliable methods (through a dialectic attack of patient
reliability and honesty), than to attack the TCM itself. The standard deviation of the % change (%var) for all
three phases was an astounding 1.51%!

Criticisms
Although the standard deviation of the maximum far outstrips the dE mean, the sd_dE indicates the
need for tighter controls.
Three sources of room interference were noted to contribute errors in measurement:
1. Overhead lights (minimal)
2. Cell-phones left in pockets (minimal to medium)
3. Table warmers, even plugged in (maximal)
The design for Phase 1 is not robust , and untrustworthy. The data is limited. The sample size was cut
off at 50 to enable a first analysis to determine validity to continue to a better trial. The criteria of possible
correlation was proved (See Phase 1 Results). But otherwise the data is unreliable for the meter
measurements. Pain scales are reliable, as discussed above. But results are included herein in comparisons
for completion. Very likely they skew the mean of the 3 phases unreasonably . The most likely source of error
16
are overhead lights left on.
A criticism can be levied at the imprecision of the analog equipment, which is fair and necessary. The
author indicates that the primary choice for the analog device was due to price and reliability (trust in analog
measurements). But, in future measurements, digital measurements are expected as part of a tighter control
process. Given that the tighter controls each trial resulted in a drop in average dE for cc, it is not unreasonable
to think that the dE might continue to drop to a statistically irrelevant value, that is as stipulated in this
experiment when:
dE
dP x ≤ 1 (1)
In the comparisons, several log-scaled graphs utilize equation (1) as an indicator of positive control
confirmation. So what if the dE drops below 45% (which, as indicated, is a reliable measure of self-reporting
delta variability)? Then it must be assumed that the interesting results hinted in the Solar Data (see below)
regarding Solar Wind Density (SWD) are more important than Ef measurementation, and this would totally
invalidate hypothesis 1.2, but not necessarily the original hypothetical inquiry, “do charges get stuck in nerves?”
The answer could be that all TCM modalities help reduce proton load in individuals at an average rate of 45%
per single session. Still spectacular. Given that Ef for protons specifically could be used, it would require a
tinkering with equipment to create a positive confirmation of this alteration of the original hypothesis.
16 In Phase 3 there was one case of an abnormally high magnetic field measurement. It also has skewed the mean data.
However that case really was an uncontrollably high measurement, and all attempts to eliminate interference did not
eliminate it. It is possible that it was a true nerve-induced physical anomaly, and its measurement is included in the 112
samples.

Figure 8: Regression and trendline modeling for tightened controls indicate possible crossing point
However, it is equally possible, that since the more active electrical period of the year (for static) is in
fall and winter, that the tightening was coincidental to the more clear data seen in Phase 3 for both weather
and space weather. It may be that an exact repeat of Phase 3, during winter, would (as the author expects)
show an increase of dE towards the Phase 2 value.
But, also, perhaps human habit is the issue, Phase 2’s helpers or room controls broke down and Phase
2 should be at Phase 3 levels, which still show a >100% ratio and far above control statistical correlations, but
nothing spectacular as indicated in Phase 1, which has already been stated to be unreliable.
Error Margins
The author has already given the specifics of standard deviations for the devices. However, it bears
repeating that some error margins might not be taken into account. Firstly, the device can be read at the
nearest 5V/m, but by utilizing “eye-measurement” can actually be read to 1-2 V/mspecificity. The standard
deviation seems to indicate an error as high as 6C, but that’s not possible. It should be recognized that, in fact,
the standard deviation of the Ef is not a measure of quality but of possibility . So for a measurement that is very
clearly 4V/m, it could be 2 or 6 V/m, with an R
2
=.996 one could argue 1 V/m or 7 V/m, but according to the
manufacturer the error is 30%, which would be 2.8 or 5.2 V/m, well within the 2-6 range. The author insists that
the manufacturer’s range is better and reliable enough.
Another factor to consider, which only became clear in Phase 3, is that sometimes a 0 V/m reading
might actually be 1V/m, or a 1V/m might be a 0V/m, depending upon the orientation of the device to north or
south.It begs the question is this related to the room arrangement, the magnetosphere, the building wiring, or a
10
Clinical Electric Field Measurements | by Sf. R. Careaga | © 2018 | BlueLotusHealth.com
circuitry relationship between the practitioner and the patient being insulated from ground? It is not known at
this time. But, since this 1 V/m error margin matches the eye-sight margin and is less than the standard
deviation by a wide margin, it is not considered to be a significant detractor from the experiment, let alone the
results.
There are also unknown errors that have been introduced from the environment, such as static,
weather, wiring, etc… In an ideal environment the entire experiment would be conducted in an outdoors
enclosure such as a sun porch (on clear days except in phase 2 and 3 where weather is considered). Or
perhaps in a “clean room” with grounding equipment to remove static.
Phase 2 Design
Sample Size: 133
Figure 9: Gender Demographics for Phase 2
17
Phase 2 was designed around a different curiosity and premise. The curiosity was whether or not
weather influenced the results from the experiment. There were three new design parameters, and a change to
the pain self-reporting scale from 1-10 to 0-10, as some patient reported a post treatment pain/significance of
0, which was not anticipated in Phase 1.
The first change was to also record the post treatment control and max, in order to find delta values
and averages for both of those.
The second was to include a control in the form of a door-to-room measurement. The door
measurement and room measurement were performed by different people (the assistants and the author,
respectively). The assistants were to inquire as to the chief complaint region, and to measure within the same
parameters as the phase 1. They also collected the latest weather and moon data. Then the patient proceeded
from the tile, across the carpet to the room, where they would be remeasured at the same location, to check for
17 http://bit.ly/2PrurxO
11
Clinical Electric Field Measurements | by Sf. R. Careaga | © 2018 | BlueLotusHealth.com
static changes. Of course the electromagnetic environment of the room would also change. So in measuring
error, a new statistic, varMag was calculated to compare the deltas to look for statistical variation which would
address the carpet/static issue.
A final, third control was introduced via randomly choosing a patient to give a placebo measurement
(but not a placebo treatment). This enabled a comparison of control groups, control environment, and “live”
measurement.
Error Margins
In terms of error, much could be introduced here: assistant error, reporting error, measurement error,
electrical interference from phones and computers, lights, etc… Also, people might self-report a different
number to the assistants as to the practitioner, on account of trust. This would only be an issue in the post
treatment pain/significance self-reporting. The pre-treatment number was only recorded by the assistants.
There is also another issue of chief complaint vagueness which made Phase 2 less reliable than Phase
3, on account of lack of use of ICD-10 codes. However, it was interesting to see general lists of complaints and
compare demographics, and where sample sizes were large enough, trend differences for delta values
between different types of complaints (such as shoulder versus back pain, etc…)
The equipment remained the same for all 3 phases, so all the previous potential errors remain in effect,
unless specifically dealt with and otherwise stated.

After the fascinating results of Phase 2 which showed possible differences in Ef results between
different modalities, the author was interested in creating a wide-ranging, multi-locale experiment, to compare
the results and verify if there was really a Ef delta difference in results between modalities. In short, there were
wide differences, although the cupping and guasha treatment samples were still far too low in number to be
conclusive. A longer, one year plus treatment sampling would need to take place to verify these numbers.

Figure 14: Moon sampling by modality
Moon sampling data is useful because it can demonstrate issues in sample size. For example, due to
the nature of pure coincidence, almost nobody was sampled on the exact day of First quarter, but for
Acupuncture several were sampled on Last Quarter. Note also that the majority of tuina results came from the
Waning Gibbon or New Moon or Waning Crescent. This may skew results, as it was found that tuina has
massive Ef delta measurements… but it was also found in Phase 2 and Phase 3 in that the Waning period
measures differently than the Waxing period. In other words, the Tuina results may be more effective during
the Waning Period. So although the author will use the tuina results, the author will not call them conclusive .
Meanwhile acupuncture and e-stim sampling was pretty well distributed, considering some of the “phases”
above are short, others are far longer periods of time.
In Phase 3 a new form of control was used, and the max measurement was abandoned. The max
measurement was abandoned because the standard deviation already indicates, pretty conclusively that Ef
values can vary by about the entire magnitude. As shown in Figure 8, it cannot be conclusively proven that this
isn’t a matter of improving controls, however, in actuality it reflects the situation as follows. Some people have
very high, unpredictably high, Ef pre-treatment values for their chief complaints, or somewhere in the body, and
some do not. So partly the hypothesis of the Ef measurement reflecting disease state has been invalidated, but
not in total. Why? Because there is something in enough cases to warrant the hypothesis that if an entire body
full spectrum Ef measurement could be obtained, the Ef could be high somewhere in the body, even if not at
the complaint site location. This is the effect of reflexology logic, and distal/referred pains, channels , fascia
21
trains, etc… which may shunt electrical activity elsewhere or otherwise indicate a local-distal relationship in
treatment and even diagnosis. For example it is well known that migraines can be caused by internal organ
issues, so perhaps a lack of Ef measurement in the head does not mean no EF.

Regarding the maximum measurement, it was also time consuming to search for such high signals, and
their deltas were of dubious consequence. While sensational, a 50 V/m change did not necessarily mean a
complete subsidence of symptoms/complaint. There was no observed correlation there before, so it was not
looked for. Perhaps in the future it could be.
Regarding the controls, the previous form of randomized “placebo” measurement was found to be,
basically, good enough medically but not from an engineering standpoint. In this Phase, instead an option was
exercised to utilize the same 12 locations in all samples, in both locations. This eliminated, as well, the
“opinion” nature of finding opposite sides for conditions which may not have any opposite sides and where
off-location measurements may in fact be perfectly valid (as just described above).

The benefit of this list is that it can be performed supine or prone, for all cases sampled . It also
22
provides a very evenly distributed sample set that more closely approaches the ideal of a full body spectrum
analysis, as described above.
Additionally, the experiments were entirely performed in the same one room at each location (room 2 in
Lexington, KY and room 1 in Berea, KY).
Error Margins
The errors and problems which are introduced are much fewer in Phase 3. Part of that is practice, part
is eliminating the assistants, and part is the control of the room and using the same parts of the body for
controls.
There is one issue which has to be addressed which is that the measurements of the magnetic field
utilized the more precise bar line, which seemingly inflates the measured values. But since the author is only
interested in delta values and this is not a measurement of the rooms themselves, this is completely
acceptable. All the author is interested in for Phase 3 regarding Bf is the change of value, particularly if the Ef
does not change, to see if some diseases might possibly be more correlated (at complaint site) with the BF.
Results were, on occasion, interesting, but mostly inconclusive.
22 Phase 2 contained a phantom limb case which was not re-sampled in Phase 3.

Statistical Design
In designing the statistics, the experimental data was not “copy and pasted,” rather all data was
recorded using Google Forms to Spreadsheets, and as has been cited, individual tabs were used to refer to
specific portions of the data. This made it quite simple to measure all statistics.
There is however two areas that require more explanation.
In Phase 1, there are a number of results that led to division by 0. In order to make the formula work,
decisions were in some cases made to change delta to an insignificant value, and in other cases, to not
skew rations, they were replaced with 0’s. As stated before, Phase 1 data is not considered conclusive
only indicative, and this is not seen as a major detraction. It was dealt with in the later trials to avoid this
issue again.
In Phase 2, varMag requires a bit more explanation.

More analysis could be considered as to whether or not varMag/dEControl would be statistically useful,
but it was not of interest to the author at this time.

18
Clinical Electric Field Measurements | by Sf. R. Careaga | © 2018 | BlueLotusHealth.com
The thinking behind (2) is that if we are interested in severe changes in Ef characteristics, pertaining to
weather, we should compare situations where various door to room measurements exceeded 50%. A more
nuanced, “dialed in” percentage, probably exists, but it is not known, at the time of writing. Perhaps the
threshold should be 30% or 80%, or some ratio for dE:dPx. But the author thinks it is an arbitrary filter. The
goal is merely to look for large variances.
Phase 1 Results
Figure 17 : Changes in pain scale and E-field within same day visits
26
Phase 1 showed significant promise about changes in the E-field. However, despite these massive
Max changes, the average measured dE value was only 8.95 V/m. That’s still fantastic (and as it turns out,
outlandish), and thus the experiment warranted a second trial. However, it was soon discovered that too many
variables in the treatments may have introduced problems in measurement, especially the Max values. One
such variable was the presence of a plugged-in table warmer. However, in most instances max measurements
were taken prior to contact with the table, and in very little of the samples were overhead lights an issue
because of the orientation of the Trifield precluding a maximum measurement of Ef from overhead lights.
One of the values that it turns out can be aptly trusted is the average change in pain/significance from
pre and post treatment. This has already been covered, but it is worth noting that in all three trials it remains
around 3 points of difference (no decimals were used, only ordinals). Typically this is a significant portion of the
initial value and as stated previously is roughly 48% in decrease, on average. That is fantastic for the medicine,
and it is fantastic for the experiment. Considering many trials demonstrate that trained (or mis-trained as the
26 http://bit.ly/2CvzKJJ

Clinical Electric Field Measurements | by Sf. R. Careaga | © 2018 | BlueLotusHealth.com
case may be) doctors trying to prove or disprove acupuncture get results that barely outperform placebos
(“sham acupuncture”) which indicates a high efficacy of the author. Furthermore the relative consistency is
considered by the author to be an indication of excellent repetition. But the author would invite others to try to
replicate Phase 2 or 3, and attempt to either beat or disprove this benchmark.
Figure 18: Sample by sample ratios of dE:dPain
Not every case resulted in a positive difference (decrease from initial measurement) in EF, and in one
instance: pain reporting. This resulted in 5 cases of negative ratio values. There is also a questionable trend of
weak or 0 ratio in the start of the trial, versus significantly high ratios in the middle and then decreasing. This
may have indicated a solar electrical event or change in the SEC/PEC relationship. Or it may indicated a moon
phase correlation. Either way, this is the graph which indicated to the author that further controls and study
were needed and that Phase 1 data was not considered to be conclusive.

Criticisms
There are a number of
samples which the author would
consider as “error prone” or at least
potentially suspicious. In which
case the averages for dE would
probably come down to Phase 3
levels.
What the author would prefer
to spend time dwelling on are the
negative values.
As has been stated before,
the purpose of the experiment is to
verify the hypothesis that charge
can become stuck in the nerves. In
Phase 3, the experiment leans
towards protons. But suppose for a
moment that the hypothesis was
negative charges (electrons), and
that these are the cause of high
readings. In such a case, then how
could the results invert, given the
hypothesis (confirmed in Phase 2)
that conductive needles, in
interaction with the practitioner’s
hand, would facilitate electron
migration out of the nerves and
channels, etc…?
The answer would be if the
treatment also stimulated nerves
that were not firing previously into
behavior or if there is, as Zhongyi
suggests, a collection of “negative
energy” that moves out of the
interior and into the channels
during treatment, causing
hyper-reactivity and sensitivity in
21
Clinical Electric Field Measurements | by Sf. R. Careaga | © 2018 | BlueLotusHealth.com
the nerves, resulting in sudden firing of the local site , then possibly there would be an increase of Ef. That is,
27
if it is not simply introduced post-treatment interference, which is unlikely but possible.
Through trial and experience the author has learned that one measure of the activity of a nerve
pathway is, if in doing e-stim style acupuncture, the device requires a > 1u setting for a typically reactive and
impedance-even region (such as down the tibialis anterior), then the nerve pathways may be “off”. In such a
case, could turning them on cause an increase in Ef? The author thinks this is highly likely.
In Phase 3 several situations arose such as this:
Patient complains of headache
Head readings are 0 or 1 V/m
Shoulder (and thus neck) readings are > 3 V/m
Post treatment the head and shoulder are 0 or 1 V/m
Knee or foot post treatments are suddenly > 5V/m, often 10 V/m
This phenomenon matches almost perfectly with the concepts in Zhongyi “channel theory” whereby
inflammation is eliminated along prescribed pathways which descend from the head to the hands and feet. In
fact several of the points for treating the head and neck are located on the appendages (such as LI4, which
primarily treats head pain).
Phase 2 Results
Figure 20: Various measurement deltas (V/m) by modality

27 Bear in mind the treatments may or may not have had needles at the local site. In tuina, guasha, and cupping, no
needles at all, but physical manipulation which may introduce grounding.

Figure 21: Phase 2 Delta Averages
Phase 2 starts off with some very strong results, both on the whole averages, confirming Phase 1’s
significance (dE:dPain >> 1), and in establishing the controls. Figure 21 is unassailably conclusive that Ef
behaviors are present in treatment conditions. It also confirms that the max “average” should be more in line
with the standard deviations of Phase 1 and 2 (as they are trials performed in the same basic way).
More interestingly, as well the dPain of the control group did show a notable difference with the dPain of
the non control group (2.49 vs 3.25, a difference of 23.4%). But far more interestingly shown is that the dE of
the control group (averaged), was far different than the dE of the average measured sample. As the sample
size of the random controls were ~6% of cases, but the sample size of control measurements for the remaining
94% was 100%. So in those 94% of measured cases, the average control dE was 1.81 V/m vs 6.3 V/m for the
chief complaint. This is relevant because in all cases for the 94% non-control group, the controls were
measured in tandem with the chief complaints and in the same way, under otherwise the same “room”
conditions. These control measurements were not measured at the door. Which means all of these statistics
are clinically relevant.
The results in Figure 21 are to be considered de facto proof of the main hypotheses. It is important also
to note that Phase 3, despite being a completely different control design, confirms the relationship of dE:dPx >
1 but not for the controls! See Phase 3 results below.
Figure 20, by contrast, shows fascinating results whereby dE_control is negative for acupuncture and
basically 0 for e-stim. However, either due to small sample size, or to lack of use of conductive needles, the
other three modalities showed no control correlation. This prompted a retrial, especially of tuina in Phase 3. Let
us take each modalities’ graphs separately:
23
Clinical Electric Field Measurements | by Sf. R. Careaga | © 2018 | BlueLotusHealth.com
While the e-stim dPain was remarkably high, indicating possible increase efficacy in stimulation of
needles (with acupuncture), the acupuncture, tuina, and guasha values were all near to standard
deviations. (2-3 points).
However the dPain for cupping would suggest it has no benefit or even negative benefit. This is almost
assuredly a sample size issue. Most probably this is an issue of bad self-reporting, whereby the patient
confuses satisfaction with efficacy itself. However, in 4 cases one would expect a positive value.
The tuina and cupping results seem to indicate (again with only 5 and 4 samples) that there is a
massive Ef change regardless of controls throughout the entire body , which truly demonstrates the
power of nervous system modification, or possible charge sequestration through grounding (via the
practitioner).
The Ef max of tuina, cupping, and guasha all exceed the dE and dE_control. But the guasha value is
especially high, and this suggests a very potent case of change (therapeutic transformation), and
change in the nervous system. However, none of these has enough samples to be conclusive.
The cupping dE_control and dE are very close to one another, 13.6% in variation, suggesting a
possible full body change that is worth following up given the dE_Max is also very close to control at
0.15% variance.
Figure 22 demonstrates the conductive versus non-conductive modalities. The non-conductive results
are not easy to dismiss, as they may hold clues to the efficacy of physical therapies (versus energetic or
intervention therapies), which has been especially noted in sports and PT. Also, it may be that something else
very interesting may be going on “behind the scenes.”
24
Clinical Electric Field Measurements | by Sf. R. Careaga | © 2018 | BlueLotusHealth.com
Figure 22: Measurements broken down by modality, in bar graph form, with values listed.
Figure 23 below demonstrates the application of equations (2) and (3) in filtering the data. AS can be
seen the average varMag is 8.152, indicating that there is a significant effect of the carpet and/or environment
on the experiment. This is much higher variation (in V/m) than the control (1.81); over 350% more!
In the author’s opinion this cannot be due solely to the room, or to the errors of the assistants. Though
they would introduce error, it would be expected to be within the standard deviations (see Figure 1). Instead
the author suggests looking at the varMag average when over 50% of dE_measured. In this case the varMag
is higher , suggesting an influence of weather as well as something else. The author suspects static electricity
or interference from unknown wiring issues, probably the former based on clinic EMF profile characteristics.
Following Figure 23 is a breakout of said varMag > 50% dE_Measured, their sample sizes (used to
indicated which types of conditions encourage (3)). The sample size was more than substantial enough to
make the entire data set valid, but the individual breakouts of daily conditions and of the medical conditions
treated may be considered, at times, too small in sample size to be conclusive of individual situations.

As can be seen in Figure 24, the most common conditions to create a higher varMag are in waning “yin
moon” phases, when it is sunny out or there are solar wind increases above normal conditions, or on cold,
30
windy, or dry days. This experiment was conducted in the fall, so increased static activity would be expected in
cold, dry, static conditions. Also conditions of storms or being overcast (which indicate the presence of
increased charge and atmospheric capacitance ) created more significant VarMag conditions.
31
Of these results the moon phases were the most surprising. But the conditions shown seem to indicate
that both protons (or nuclei) and electrons are involved.
Figure 25: varMag demonstrated in terms of % and ratios
From Figure 25 we can see another interesting phenomenon. Of the cases where the varMag actually
exceeds dE is more than half of the samples (55.2%), which would almost suggest that the samples for Phase
2 are diluted by environmental errors. But only 23% of samples actually exceed the dE_Measured by 50% or
more, whereby the varMag exceeds 10 V/m. For the rest the varMag remains near to the dE average. So this
might be construed as an argument for mere “noise” and not true dilution.
If this trial were to be performed again in the same way (with better equipment), it should be divided into
two groups, each with their own redundant controls. Noting the conditions outside is good, but most importantly
would be to perform assiduous measurement to look for high varMag, and try to ascertain the possibilities. It
might be suggested that the groups also be randomly divided so that roughly half the samples (for both groups)
remove their shoes at the door as well (which was not done here, and the shoe sole may affect static effects).
30 According to www.spaceweather.com
31 The layers of the clouds and the Earth’s surface form the capacitor plates. Electrostatic repulsion may be indicative of
the real reason incredibly heavy clouds are able to float, or why rain falls as the clouds move over differently charged
surfaces.

Figure 26: Conditions which produce high varMag
In the opinion of the author Figure 26 does not suggest much to demonstrate conclusive connections
between conditions reported and varMag > dE. There does seem to be a high number of knee and back pain
cases, but those also represent a high proportion of the samples already.

Figure 27 is a bit complicated to understand. What it demonstrates is the distribution of dE and the
dE:dPx ratio in magnitude, as differentiated by the pain scales. By far the greatest dE is when people report a
change of 3 ordinal points, followed by 4 and 2. However for all of these patients also had, on occasion,
negative deltas in Ef readings. However, this trend greatly reduced when the dPx ordinals were from 5 to 7.
Ordinal changes of 8 points did not show significant dE values, which may be a sample size issue, or some
other unintuitive phenomenon. It should not be taken as an invalidation of the hypothesis, although it is
possible the hypothesis is not nuanced enough to explain this data. Perhaps massive shifts in self-reported
pain and significance is reflected instead in Bf? It may also be that some other therapeutic effect is altering the
behavior of the nerves, or that self-reporting itself is too flawed, in which case fMRI would be the only way to
verify this effect and such a trial would be incredibly difficult to administer, and flawed by substantial
interference. Not to mention the cost of having enough samples. For now, clinical trials using self-reporting
instruments must be considered valid to make any forward progress.

Figure 28: dE vs dPx; most samples conform to expected ranges
Figure 29: Ef ratios and dPx log scale
Both of these figures and the ones
following demonstrate the general
sample trend distributions. As can be
seen, most of the data, by far conforms
to expected Phase 2 hypothesis
behaviors, albeit some more
spectacularly than others. But, enough
do not conform to the hypothesis, and
produce negative dE values with positive
dPx ordinal changes, to warrant a closer
look at the hypothesis for “mitigating
factors”.
In Figure 30 below, another strange
phenomenon is observed: when dE is
negative, more often than not dE_control
and dE_max are as well. This occurs
several times, with few other outliers, and
suggests an unknown behavior of the
nervous system.
It has been suggested in “energy” or
CAM circles (industry wide), that some
people are ”reverse polarized” having
adverse reactions to copper, magnetic
jewelry, and feeling better on “yin” days
or under the new moon. Could this
perhaps be related to the issue here? It
would be very useful, in a future re-trial of
the weather and moon conditions to also
record chakra behaviors, and look for
more-or-less objective signs of reverse
polarization. Muscle strength testing
might be another way to consider, by
using a crystal or magnet held the same
way for each person, so long as right &
left-handedness is also recorded.
Crystals and magnets represent known
EMF sources in use in therapy, with more
or less unknown (scientific) values.

Figure 30: dEf for cc, controls and max sites (in V/m)
Figure 31: dE vs dPain on a log scale, + only
Figure 31 demonstrates the relative order of magnitude distribution for dE cases. A large number of
cases are in the 0-7 ordinal point dPain, but the majority of samples are in the 10 V/m to 100 V/m range. The
two do appear to more or less follow each other, with significant outliers and spikes. Even in the case of an
under 1C
dE, which isn’t statistically valid (it could be human error in entering the data), the dPain was very high.
Criticisms
The most ubiquitous criticism to heap upon Phase 2 is not towards the data or design, but towards the
proveability of Phase 2’s hypothesis. While Phase 1’s hypothesis is validated, and awaiting Phase 3, Phase 2
presents major obstacles for its hypothesis. Chiefly, that varMag could either be definite relationships between
the environment and health or dilution of the relationship of Ef measurements in health settings, due to
interference from the environment.
However, there are three things in Phase 2’s hypothesis’ favor, which justify a further, detailed or
specific trial with very high quality equipment and grouping as suggested before. First, the moon results show
that varMag alterations were not mere room noise or practitioner error. Second, the weather data made perfect
sense for varMag > 50%: all the conditions that created this situation had logical explanations based on solid
electromagnetic phenomenon. How may this relate to the moon? The moon is a reflector and based on Phase
3, there may exist in fact a correlation between the noted full and new moon effects reported in hospitals and
jails, and the solar wind density (of protons). This would support two aspects of Phase 2: moon correlation and
31
Clinical Electric Field Measurements | by Sf. R. Careaga | © 2018 | BlueLotusHealth.com
solar storm correlations. Please bear in mind that “yin” phases of the moon correspond to “negative”, but
33
protons or positive ions are “negative” in energetics, while negative ions are “positive” for human health .
34 35
Phase 3 Results
Figure 32: Phase 3 results with Standard Deviation and 10% error bars, all 12 controls averaged
36
The standard deviations for Ef make a lot of sense, as there is a wide margin of max measurements
that were demonstrated in Phase 1 and Phase 2. Note that the sd_controls shows great confidence in control
of Ef measurements as opposed to sd_E for the cc. What is at first surprising is that the sd_Pain is also high,
until one remembers how widely varying results for delta of ordinal measurements would be in self-reporting.
Bear in mind that for all three trials, the standard deviation for dPain was only 0.24.
What is certainly very surprising is that the sd_M is so high, considering the vast majority of Bf
measurements were only varying .5-1 mG (0.61 on average) during treatment. This means, more than likely
that one or two very large measurements changed the sd_M (deltas) substantially. When these measurement
came up, sources of interference were sought, and not found, and multiple measurements were taken. They
are, therefore to be regarded as usefully out of place data that may have significance, as discussed in the
Phase 2 Results. But to confirm these results, Bf controls like Ef in Phase 3 would need to be established,
probably in a separate trial altogether.
37
The dE_controls demonstrates clear verification of Phase 1 and 2 testing of Phase 1 hypothesis, with
an improved dE:dPx ratio in the controls. So, while the dE_cc:dPx ratio is closer to 1:1 than before , the
38
controls are so much further from 1:1 that it highlights the Phase 3 results’ validity. It is expected that if Phase 1

were performed again, with these type controls, in the spring to summertime, the results would be in the same
order of magnitude.
Delta for self-reported pain and significance was slightly less on average with that of Phase 1 (by
9.66%) and slightly more than Phase 2 (by 12.4%), but was within the 2-3 ordinal point error margin, so that
2.71 is considered very reliable and the 10% error bars are expected. Overall the results in Figure 32 are
incredibly satisfactory.

The overall pain decrease was slightly improved in this trial, perhaps reflecting the practitioner, but
more likely reflecting the overall calm conditions of the sun as opposed to the period when Phase 2 was taking
place which saw several spectacular X class solar flare events. Phase 3 had 0 X class solar flare events, even
during non-treatment days. It was a very quiet sun, overall. Maximum solar wind speed was 615.9 km s

Figure 34: dE:dPx mean ratios (as %) per modality and by gender
40
In Figure 34 we see, very clearly, that the acupuncture modality is reliably able to decrease Ef for males
and females within a strong confidence level, at overunity. Meanwhile, e-stim as a modality underperformed,
and it was not a matter of efficacy as dPx_e-stim was 2.36 vs 2.83 for dPx_acu (16.6% variance). It is a plain
fact that dE_e-stim << dE_acu (See Figure 35 below). In fact it underperformed Tuina, comparing more to the
results of cupping which was even more significantly under-unity. Tuina was also under-unity but less
significantly so.

Figure 35: Phase 3 Results by modality, dE vs dPx
41
None of this means that the modalities have no value nor that there is no change in Ef for the cc, but
that, perhaps, Phase 3 was sobering to Phase 1 and 2 in terms of providing limits. However, given the use of
electrostimulation generates interference within the body, and perhaps leaves charges within nerve pathways
(hence stimulation ) and alters the results. Or perhaps the e-stim technique was sub-par as compared to

Phase 2.

Figure 36, again, demonstrates the value of the Phase 1 hypothesis, and demonstrates clearly why
magnetism has never been considered a viable diagnostic. The fact that society, in general, understands
magnetic fields so much more (for various cultural and mathematical reasons) than electric fields, and has
(along with gravity) focused on it so much more, probably demonstrates the problem thus far. It is electric
fields, not magnetic fields, which are useful in diagnostic medicine.

Regarding Phase 3’s hypothesis, the following subsections will detail the results (found in the cited
spreadsheet), broken down into (1) weather, (2) lunar, (3) solar, and (4) by complaint type (where applicable).
These were studies designed to explore further some of the effects found in Phase 2, with more specific
data, and more reliable reporting. However, as some of the criteria or categorization changed from Phase 2, it
should be weighed separately and for correlation and contrast. The results are pretty staggering on their own.

44 Overunity is sought not only because it validates hypothesis 1.1, but because theoretically, the results are scalable. The
worse the Ef measurement, the more the pain relief should be. Hence: in cases of severe, inoperable, incurable pain, in
seeking treatment outside of CAM and narcotics or other pain management, the alteration of Ef in the body should
produce a predictable overunity result. Creating methods (other than Zhongyi) to do this can become the entire focus of a
new branch of medicine.

or “filling”/waxing portions than the yin or “draining”/waning portions. The Bf also showed slightly elevated
response in the waxing period. However, delta for pain was more elevated in the waning periods.
This does not mean that Phase 2 has no value or its lunar results are not interesting, because some of
the data from Phase 3 indicates changes in pain/significance reporting. This may be more intense during
waning periods, and/or transitional times, especially the New Moon. It is reasonable to suspect that the moon’s
reflection, particularly of protons/nuclei, might lead to distributed results, such as those seen.
Figure 44: Results focused around two halves of moon’s classical energetic behaviors
47
The data in Figure 44 demonstrates that sample size is not an issue. Rather, it is clear that overunity for
dE:dPx occurs only in the Yang period. Now it is also true that dE did change during the yin phases of the
moon, and so it isn’t that the experiment wasn’t successful, rather that the results were in “lock step.” Though
standard deviation and instrument error allows for massive deviation here, the author takes the above results,
and asserts that parity is what is achieved. For each ordinal point of pain delta, 1 Volt/meter of electromotive
force is decreased. But , at yang periods of the moon, it is possible to do even better, or hypothesis 1.2 is in
effect, and there are too many positive charges in the body, which need released.
At this point, however, it is an unverified hypothesis (a new one), which will require a reperformance of
the Phase 3 trial to corroborate.

Figure 51: Moving Averages for SWD,

As opposed to Figure 50, the graph at
left demonstrates a very unique and
potentially groundbreaking connection.
While it does not show any apparent
connection between dE and the solar
wind density, which again may just be
due to a lack of sophisticated
statistical analysis. But what it does
demonstrate, somewhat clearly is a
connection between dPain and SWD.
At first this connection seems
abstruse, and difficult to pinpoint.
Sometimes the MA’s go in tandem,
and then appear to change behavior,
sometimes doing exactly the opposite
of one another.
But, looking at the graphs, there does
appear to be a type of correlation: a
chronological one. In Figure 52, the
relationship is revealed.

Aside from proving hypothesis 1,
this may be the most exciting of the
results from all three trials. While not
conclusive, it certainly does warrant
its own small trial which is specific to
this hypothesis.
Afterwards, the author sought out a
similar correlation, as shown in
Figure 53, but it was after all,
unsuccessful. Compare with
sunspots (black dots), and there are
no obvious dE to SWD connections

Criticisms
Phase 3 is an excellent trial, and the results are staggering. However they leave, in many ways, more
questions than answers. That is the mark of a good hypothesis, as results should open up new possibilities
while eliminating previously unanswered questions. However, regarding problems, while they are relatively few,
there are some clear issues with design. For one, the lack of dM values for the 12 controls would have been
more useful, as it turns out. Secondly, it would have beneficial for the lunar analysis if a data field for both the
actual date, and the reflectivity % had been included. Figure 52 shows a good general trend, however it does
not have conclusive chronological proof. On rare occasion, several previously taken data was included in the
data later entered, which may or may not have been recorded at the same time as the day the data was taken.
This is the reason why of all the experiment data, this specific new hypothesis has the greatest mandate for
reproducing the results.
There is also a greater criticism, not only that the equipment needs to be more precise, but that the
rooms need to be physically cleared of any equipment that could be considered interference. Also, that the trial
needs to be reconducted in fall/winter (yin time of year), or perhaps year round, to include more information
and more samples. It also could be said that because of the need for more data and more sample data that the
results of the non-acupuncture modalities is not satisfactory, or even disappointing, as this was the hope for the
end of Phase 2: to create a better sample of data. However, due to circumstances, it was not always possible
to use the proper room, or take measurements. A full year of experimental measurement would most likely
remedy that situation.

Statistical Comparisons
Though the three trials are very different, in the following a brief comparison of the trials is conducted.
Figure 54: 3 Phase comparisons of pain, max, Ef, ratios, control and cc comparison
51
As the trials went along, it’s clear that better and better controls constrained the results downward.
What is also clear, though, is that the controls worked well enough to bring ratios under-unity. The graph in
Figure 54 shows a strong correlation with Phase 3’s proving the original hypothesis. Although the dE:dPx ratio
is only slightly overunity, it’s way higher than the controls of Phase 2 and Phase 3.
Another strange fact is that the max control values and the max dE values are higher (despite controls).
It is the statistical results of Figure 54 that shows the value of this experiment, and the mandate to do
more experimentation and specific trials, as well as repeating the successful parts of the trials.
It also bears repeating that the standard deviations also reduce as the trials went on. But their max
value standard deviations remain volatile. The constraints will continue to be made higher, but in reality the
standard deviations don’t ultimately reflect Ef and Bf measurement realities. It’s simply not reasonable that the
randomness of human health with wildly different kinds of complaints and weather conditions, along with a
rolling lunar phase and cycling (moody) solar disc will produce narrow banded results, except for pain changes.

Figure 55: Averages and ratios, cc vs controls for Phase 2 & 3
The averages and ratios for Phase 2 and 3, showing controls and the overall overunity ratio of dE:dPx
are the coup-de-gras for almost any challenge to the study. There is a very clear difference between chief
complaint and control data, and that not only validates the purpose of the work, and future investment for
re-trial, but it creates an entirely new inquest into medicine itself.
Conclusions
The goals of this experiment have been met: demonstrate validity of hypothesis 1.1 and 1.2, investigate
possible implications of hypothesis 2.1 (weather effects) and 2.2 (solar effects), and validate these in a highly
controlled third trial which also tests lunar relationships and demonstrates non-complaint related validity.
Additionally the efficacy of Zhongyi medicine was confirmed and re-confirmed with consistent 48%
reduction (on average) of single visit self-reported pain and significance ordinal data. Constrained results did
not dilute the validity of hypothesis 1, but rather further dramatically constrained control results while keeping
Phase 3 chief complaint Ef measurements overunity with respect to the excellent aforementioned self-reported
deltas.
Lunar relationships were challenged, and assumptions about lunar efficacy were tested; an unexpected
correlation was possibly uncovered pertaining to actual solar wind density (proton) values. This provided a
possible reasoning for excellent demonstrable results during the “Yang” phase of the moon’s natural cycles.
Meanwhile, overunity was maintained (hypothesis 1) throughout both cycles of the moon, waxing and waning.
The interesting value of Phase 1’s hypothesis were both confirmed:
1. Charges do influence the nerve pathways of the body, most notably protons
2. Electric fields, not magnetic fields, are the future observational diagnostic value in CAM and possibly,
mainstream diagnostic medicine.
The value for Ef reading in clinic is, as of yet, a new ground for which almost no “breaking” has been
done. The author would like to invite others to step into the new field, and test these results.

Appendix A - What is an Electric Field?
e·lec·tric field ˌlektrik ˈfild/
1. a region around a charged particle or object within which a force would be exerted on other
charged particles or objects.” ~Google
An electric field, like all fields, is a relationship. Unlike magnetic fields, which are unbroken connections
between north and south poles (and therefore natural metaphors for the Taijitu or yin and yang), a charged
particle can [theoretically] exist as a point charge alone far in space.
Magnetic fields, and gravity, both degrade by the distance squared; this is called the inverse square law.
However, electricity has three different degradations:
1/r - Electricity in a wall and standard capacitance field
k/r
2
- Standard Electric fields
1/ - Birkeland current “plasma” filaments
r
The latter is the signature of structure and energy transfer throughout the Universe on all scales, but,
other than discussing solar effects, will not be considered in this study.
In general, however, an electric field can also be said to be a relationship. If not between positive and
negative charges, then between the field (and its induced/forced particles) and the magnetic field produced by
(1) a changing electric field or (2) a current. Current is, in actuality, a modeled flow of dynamic incredibly small
(subatomic) electric fields. The smallest such fields are considered quarks, which do not have physical masses
but energy levels measured in electron-volts (usually in MeV or GeV).
The idea of a field is a planar idea, but in reality electromagnetic fields have geometries that exist in a
fourth dimensional space. The fourth dimension of changing time is an observational one, and not inherent to
the substrata. For the Universe, all that is altering are voltages (energy levels and tension or pressure gradients)
and the fields forcing movement along those gradients or against them in some way. This is, in essence, a
similar enough concept to the Chinese conceptualization of Qi. In fact the two have many similarities in
behaviors (see Table 4) .
52
An electric field is a relationship that can be open or closed-ended, but in which work is only performed
when a charge is accelerated by the field. The field, if present in appreciable quantities, will have an effect upon
all loose charges (which interact). Meanwhile, many materials do not have interactions with magnetic fields,
and all masses and even light seems to have interactions with gravitational fields, despite being much, much
weaker than electric fields .
53
The remarkable thing, given the long length of study of electromagnetism, is that so few people
understand electricity, electric fields (especially Birkeland currents), and have not investigated their possible
connections to bioenergetics, energetic medicine, CAM, and traditional western medicine. It is, in part, due to
the difficult nature of the calculation of complex electrodynamics, and partly due to the mysterious nature of
electricity. To this day, many are still convinced that electricity is magnetism in disguise. But in actuality, EMF,
light, magnetism, hysteresis, and even gravity appear to be shadows of electrical motivation.

representative symbology!

Figure 55: Single point charge E-fields; credit:Physics4Kids
The demonstration of single point charges is difficult to do, but
nevertheless, quite attainable in precision lab results. It is, in fact,
incredibly important to discuss isolated charges, especially in
relationship to magnetic fields, such as in microwaves and old
style televisions.
Electricity as most people know it is the smooth, continuous
alternating or continuous (direct) flow of electrons through a
conductor, however for most of space it is not a matter of a
conductor but of very powerful electric fields which can force
charge separation in a vacuum, or in dense to sparse plasma environments. More information about the
currents in space and their magnitudes can be found in the author’s work on “Magnetic Universe Theory,” table
7.
Figure 56: Positive and Negative charge relationship; Wikipedia
55
Benjamin Franklin is the man initially responsible for our
symbolism and standard for which charge is “positive” and which
is “negative”, and indeed, as mentioned previously, their reality,
as far as human health is concerned, is opposite to the
convention.
Figure 57: Ef as related to interactions with charged
bodies; Wikipedia
Notice that in Figure 57 the way that the
charges in the bodies automatically orient towards
lines of attraction between negative and positive
charges.
Electric field relationship are interesting in
their ability to go through insulators. A typical
experiment that demonstrates this involves waving
a fluorescent light bulb not connected to anything, across the glass globe of a plasma globe “toy,” which
causes it to light up. In this way, one can be certain that there will be some kind of effect have EMF filled
environments upon the nervous system, although it is debatable to what extent RF signals have on human
health.

Appendix B - Hypothesis 1.1 Explained
Briefly the author would like to expand on the original hypotheses, particularly the idea of how charges
could enter nerves. Originally the intuition was that the concept of “wind” as a disease origin (that enabled
vectors such as flu virus) may have been related to the presence of charges trapped in nerves. There has to be
some method of explaining a “Qi strike” or “channel stroke”, etc… which leads to “ying and wei separation,”
which does create a unique sensation of flu-like prodromal, full-body aches and weakness, or sudden profuse
sweating .
56
The following images were the initial diagrams drawn by the author. The words from their
57
accompanying text are typed to spare the reader.
Figure 58: Proposed effects on subdermal neuronal activity due to charge introduction
58
“I - In gentle, even temperature wind, the nerve cell can re-circulate and continue on or even be
stimulated. Thus the thought-inducing, even therapeutic uplift this wind provides [referring to negative
ions].
II - In pathogenic winds, disease is “carried” via disruption of immune (wei) sensation of pathogens.
This causes the prodromal Flu-like symptoms of ying/wei separation.
56 Which the Chinese explain both as weakness of Qi (failing to contain) and the attempt of the body to move the (positive)
Qi, and to expel Bing Qi. It is interesting to note that for this light uncontrolled sweating, herbals which promote “proper”
sweating are introduced. Their effects are to remove the prodromal sensations, relieve aching, warm the body, and alter
nerve behaviors. Perhaps it is extra ions (via sugar) or charges in the wind which lodge in the channels.

Clinical Electric Field Measurements | by Sf. R. Careaga | © 2018 | BlueLotusHealth.com
III - It is compounded by the presence of altered temperature (ie- exposure), such as cold, which
disrupts the circulation by inducing cramping (to retain heat), closing of ion-gates, or introduction of heat
vectors which disrupt cell repair and stimulate pathogen growth (by absence of mitigating buffers).
NOTE: the muscles contain nerves also, hence myopathy in autoimmune or immunocompromised
circumstances. But they also use ions (K+, Ca+ Na-, etc…) and are thus equally affected by Charge
movement as flux (current). Thus pre-storm myopathies (associated with arthritis and fibromyalgia), can
also be experienced in healthy populations as well as muscle deep cold sensations. The brain is a
massive nerve bundle, and therefore: seasonal affective disorders and depressions can be explained
via excessive or deficient charge accumulation in neural pathways.”
Figure 59: Demonstration of how Bernoulli’s Effect leads to charge carrying in wind
The above diagram shows that in a wind (or any fluid), the internal pressure drops (as is well known
with storm conditions). This leads to an external to internal pressure gradient which drives more charges , via
friction, into the wind, charging the air particles. When the particles bounce off the skin and body, the friction
deposits the high concentration of charge into the lower concentration, which is also likely grounded, as
shown in Figure 58. Accompanying The above, the author original wrote out two hypotheses:
“Hypothesis A: The combination of pressure change, magnetic disturbance, and static exchange is the
cause of arthritic-like prodromal symptoms often reported by many populations, especially the elderly
(who have less insulation)
Hypothesis B:The static charge gathered by wind, in striking the skin, transfers and affects the nervous
system’s charge movement mechanisms (such as action potentials), thereby weakening the immune
system response… making wind the “the Bringer of 10,000 diseases.”
57

As can be seen, the author was already considering Hypothesis 2 while drafting Hypothesis 1, in this
early sketches. It took till the second and third trials to find the right means to actual test these, via the varMag
method, which was, again, innovated by the author.

The use of folk medicine has been widely embraced in many developed countries under the name of traditional, complementary and alternative medicine (TCAM) and is now becoming the mainstream in the UK and the rest of Europe, as well as in North America and Australia. Diversity, easy accessibility, broad continuity, relatively low cost, base levels of technological inputs, fewer side effects, and growing economic importance are some of the positive features of folk medicine. In this framework, a critical need exists to introduce the practice of folk medicine into public healthcare if the goal of reformed access to healthcare facilities is to be achieved. The amount of information available to public health practitioners about traditional medicine concepts and the utilization of that information are inadequate and pose many problems for the delivery of primary healthcare globally. Different societies have evolved various forms of indigenous perceptions that are captured under the broad concept of folk medicine, e.g., Persian, Chinese, Grecian, and African folk medicines, which explain the lack of universally accepted definitions of terms. Thus, the exchange of information on the diverse forms of folk medicine needs to be facilitated. Various concepts of Wind are found in books on traditional medicine, and many of those go beyond the boundaries established in old manuscripts and are not easily understood. This study intends to provide information, context, and guidance for the collection of all important information on the different concepts of Wind and for their simplification. This new vision for understanding earlier Chinese medicine will benefit public health specialists, traditional and complementary medicine practitioners, and those who are interested in historical medicine by providing a theoretical basis for the traditional medicines and the acupuncture that is used to eliminate Wind in order to treat various diseases.

To determine whether the patient-clinician relationship has a beneficial effect on either objective or validated subjective healthcare outcomes. Systematic review and meta-analysis. Electronic databases EMBASE and MEDLINE and the reference sections of previous reviews. Included studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in adult patients in which the patient-clinician relationship was systematically manipulated and healthcare outcomes were either objective (e.g., blood pressure) or validated subjective measures (e.g., pain scores). Studies were excluded if the encounter was a routine physical, or a mental health or substance abuse visit; if the outcome was an intermediate outcome such as patient satisfaction or adherence to treatment; if the patient-clinician relationship was manipulated solely by intervening with patients; or if the duration of the clinical encounter was unequal across conditions. Thirteen RCTs met eligibility criteria. Observed effect sizes for the individual studies ranged from d = -.23 to .66. Using a random-effects model, the estimate of the overall effect size was small (d = .11), but statistically significant (p = .02). This systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs suggests that the patient-clinician relationship has a small, but statistically significant effect on healthcare outcomes. Given that relatively few RCTs met our eligibility criteria, and that the majority of these trials were not specifically designed to test the effect of the patient-clinician relationship on healthcare outcomes, we conclude with a call for more research on this important topic.

It took till the second and third trials to find the right means to actual test these, via the varMag method, which was, again, innovated by the author. 1.
