DOWSING AND AP
Dowsing techniques can help in diagnosing the nature and location and causes of the problem, as discussed above. They may also be used to determine which Channels are out of balance. For example, is there something seriously wrong with the LU, LI, ST, HT, SI, BL, KI, PC, TH, GB, LV, CV, GV Channel?
If yes: is the left side affected? right side?
Is the Qi Excessive, Deficient, or Blocked in the affected Channel?
Is there a physical blockage (scar, injury etc) along the Channel?
For this type of diagnosis, it is useful to have a symbol of the patient (chart or diagram) showing the 12 main Channels and the CV, GV Channels. One concentrates on each Channel in turn, noting any "yes" reactions for further questioning.
When Qi imbalance is located, one may dowse to locate the best points for therapy. For example, in loin and leg lameness, the pendulum may indicate the BL and GB Channels as the best for therapy. Then, counting down the points (or going over the body, or a chart of the body) in the region BL23 to 54, one may get positive reactions in BL23,25,32,37,40 etc. One may also find AhShi (sensitive-, "ouch-") points with the dowsing technique.
One also may ask how many AP sessions are needed (1, 2, 3, 4 etc ?), their duration (1, 5, 10, 15, 20 etc minutes) and the interval between treatments (0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 etc days)
Intuitive location of the best AP points for therapy: Classic books on AP state that the master can "feel" the points as small holes or depressions in humans. Most of our animal patients, however, have a hair coat which would prevent this.
Having observed and having talked to skilled medical and veterinary acupuncturists (especially those who have some experience of paranormal methods), I believe they "know" when they have located the point. (See the section on autotraining, above). Some people find the AhShi points intuitively, merely by running the hand across the body, but not in contact with it. As the hand, or the finger, passes over the AhShi point, the healer feels a muscle tremor or hot/cold/itch sensation in him/her-self. This indicates to him/her that the point is relevant. Pressure palpation of the point confirms immediately whether the "psychic impression" was correct or not.
Relevant AP points also can be located quickly by the reaction of a pendulum (dowsing). Another method is to (mentally) visualise the animal and to scan the body looking for the best points to treat, having programmed the mind, in advance, to be drawn to these points.
In classic human AP, there are about 14 Laws which are used to choose the best points for therapy. However, the Five Phase Points are said to be very important. Their choice in each case is based on:
a. the diagnosed Chinese Syndrome (the symptom picture, which may indicate imbalances between the Phases and within one or more Phases) and
b. the Chinese Pulse Diagnosis.
In vet AP, even if one wished to use the concepts of the Human Chinese Pulse to diagnose the location and nature of the problem, or to select the best points to treat, it would be impossible to transpose directly because of anatomical differences in the arteries and also because the Five Phase Points are located on those parts of the limbs which show the greatest anatomical differences from Homo sapiens, with his/her five digits. Some traditional vet texts, including Klide & Kung, report that the Chinese Pulses may be taken in animals on the carotid or other accessible arteries but few of the vet colleagues whom I know use this system. Those who do usually can use other Pulse methods also (their own (radial or temporal) VAS or Chinese Pulse, the patient's, or a surrogate's.
Of course AP points can be found by conventional anatomical relationships and hypersensitive or AhShi points can be located by physical or electrical probing!
Case history 1: Horse lame (no further details). I tried to diagnose the case using the dowsing method in a restaurant some kilometres distant from the animal, about which I knew nothing except that it was lame. Erwin Westermayer had already seen this animal but did not tell me his findings.
I asked the following questions in my mind (using my thumbs as a Y stick):
a. Limb lameness? (yes).
b. Forelimb? (yes). Hindlimb? (no).
c. Left fore? (yes). Right fore? (no).
d. Scapula? (no). Shoulder joint? (no). Humerus area? (no).
Elbow area? (yes).
e. Is this a left elbow lameness? (yes).
f. Dislocation? (no). Fracture? (no). Sprain? (yes).
g. Tissues involved: muscles? (yes). Ligaments and soft tissues? (yes). Bone damage? (no).
h. Duration: less than 1 day (no). 2 days (no). 3 days (no). 4 days? (yes).
Clinical examination showed that the horse had a lameness of the left fore. On palpation of the elbow area, the muscles were sensitive to pressure. The owner said the horse was lame for about 5 days!
Treatment indicated : AP? (yes), other treatments? (no).
Westermayer treated this case with needles in local points, AhShi points and a few distant points on the forearm. The result was excellent.
Case history 2: Walter Greiff had told me in 1977 that many of his non-responsive cases of ketosis in cows were associated with crossing streams underneath the stall. (In Germany, cows may be tied in the same stall for up to 10 months of the year). Greiff practices at Donaustrasse 39, Grenzhof, Memmingen, Schwaben, Federal Republic of Germany. He has a mixed practice. He has confirmed that many chronic cases (especially non-responsive ketosis) in housed cattle are associated with geopathic zones.
We visited one such farm, in which he had located the crossing-point some 12 months before. Meanwhile, the farmer had moved the cows to a new cow house. The old house was used as a feed/fertiliser store and there was no visible clues to the location of the problem stall.
I first walked around the house, just inside the wall, and picked up stream (A) - (B). Further searching revealed another stream (C) - (D). It was a simple matter to find the intersection point (E). I stood there and pointed to the spot. The farmer laughed, nodding his head violently : Ja! Ja!

One should always consider the possible association between disease and physical location (high tension cables, geopathic fields, other Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) etc). Dowsers in Europe, Australia, Africa and America have reported that many diseases in man and animals are associated with strong reactive points over crossing underground streams or rock/ore fissures. Insomnia, arthritis rheumatism, asthma and cancer have been associated with these places. Where cattle or other animals are confined to a stall or pen directly over these geophysical reaction points, chronic disorders can arise, such as poor growth, chronic ketosis and infertility. Orthodox treatment is often unsuccessful in these cases. If, however, the animals are moved to a stall/pen which is free of reactive points, the condition usually disappears quickly. Some animals, such as dogs and cattle (Yang animals, expenders), avoid such places if they are not forced to stay there. Others, such as cats, bees, ants and calving cows (Yin animals, gatherers), actively seek out these points.
Many human ailments are associated with the bed, favourite armchair or work area situated directly over these "reaction zones". Most doctors and vets are not aware of these effects. Treatment in these cases is to move the animal to a neutral zone, if possible. Failing this, various methods can be tried to "neutralise" the effects. One such method is to drive an iron bar 0.3-0.6 metres long into the ground upstream of each of the problem streams directly over each stream before it crosses under the house. Many other methods ("earthing" to copper water pipes, metallic grids, symbols, crystals, "power stones", and even "mental cleansing" of the area) are discussed in the Dowsing Journalks (see references).
We know that the AP points are electrically sensitive points and that they form a network on the surface of the body. They can be seen as the interface between the external and internal environments. Exposure of the organism to adverse climatic conditions or geophysical fields can influence the metabolism of the body via the electrically sensitive points.
In some cultures, before a house is built, dowsers are used to check the site before the foundations are built. If there are many geopathic reactions the site to the foundations are moved to a more satisfactory location, or one can try to heal, or rebalance, the abnormal Earth Energy.
DOWSING AND HOMEOPATHY
Homoeopathic practitioners can also use the dowsing techniques to assist in diagnosis. Having diagnosed the cause, one must choose suitable homoeopathic remedies. Here again, the dowsing techniques can help. If the symptom picture suggests 3 or 4 remedies with similar symptom pictures, one may decide by concentrating on the patient while asking the question: is this one (of the 3-4 remedies) the best one for my patient?
Each remedy is tested separately and the "yes reaction" is taken to indicate the best one. Alternatively a bottle of each remedy is put in a test area near a "witness" of the patient. The pendulum or dowsing rod is used to test compatibility or incompatibility.
TEST | REMEDY ..........|.......... WITNESS | HERE
If more than one remedy is required, the "yes" reaction may be used to check if the combination is compatible with the patient. (Some remedies neutralize each other. This would be indicated by a "no" reaction).
Having chosen the remedies one may then check the potency, dosage and interval between doses of each one as follows: what is the best way to use this remedy for this patient: (a) low potency? high potency? If low potency, mother tincture? 3X? 6X? 6C? 12C? 30C? If high potency, 60C? 120C? 1M? 10M? CM?.
Having decided on the potency, one can check the number of doses : 5?, 10?, 15?, 20?, 25? etc. (Note: high potency doses are usually given only once or (twice). Then decide how many doses per day: 1?, 2?, 3? etc and how many days rest between days of medication 1?, 2?, 3? etc.
OBJECTIVE CONFIRMATION OF PSYCHIC/INTUITIVE DIAGNOSIS
Of course the preceding sections on psychic diagnosis may seem to be superstitious, medieval hocus-pocus (satirical Hoc est Corpus). I suspect that many self-styled "psychics and healers" are little better than charlatans and confidence tricksters. However, some genuine healers find these techniques to be very useful.
The validity of the psychic diagnostic technique depends mainly on confirmation by more orthodox methods that the location, nature and cause of the problem is indeed correct.
Having dowsed the case, do a conventional examination (anamnesis, physical + clinical-pathological) and, possibly a complementary examination (AP, osteopathic/chiropractic/homeopathic etc).
Then, if possible discuss (with humans) or mentally discuss (with animals) the following: What do you think is wrong in your life, in your relationships, in your body, in your spirit? What upsets you most? What hurts you most?:
Fire (HT, SI, PC, TH) : What excites/depresses you most?
Earth (SP, ST) : What are your great worries/obsessions?
Metal (LU, LI) : What makes you weep/sob/cry?
Water (BL, KI) : What frightens you (do you fear) most?
Wood (LV, GB) : What makes you angry/jealous/envious?
If you had a "magic wand", what would you most like to change about your spirit, mind, body, sexuality, relationships, work, life?
Double-check the interpretation from the psychic, physical and psychological/spiritual data and try to find the main lines of agreement between them.
PSYCHIC HEALING TECHNIQUES
Psychic healers often have no training in biology and medicine. Some of these people believe that God acts through them; others do not believe in a God, but may use some type of meditation, or trance, or "thought projection" to help the patient. The healer may be local (near to), or far distant from, the patient.
Some vets and doctors have these gifts to a greater or lesser degree. They may not realise that they have the ability and they may attribute their diagnostic skills and clinical success to "luck" or good fortune as well as good medicine.
Four common methods of psychic healing are:
a. "hand healing";
b. telepathic healing, with or without symbolic aids and visualisation;
c. "radionic broadcast therapy" and
d. symbolic transfer of homoeopathic remedies.
These methods are used by many healers who know nothing of AP; but knowledge of Qi circulation in the Channels as the basis of health, and of the Channel circuits and their interactions, are ideal foundations for these methods of psychic healing.
a. Hand Healing: The patient visits the healer, who "lays hands" on, or near, the affected parts. Sometimes a simple prayer is said asking for the ailment to be cured. The success rate varies between healers but some are very good. Common conditions treated by such healers include ringworm, jaundice, shingles (Herpes), gastrointestinal worms, thrush (yeast- or fungal- infection of the orifices), haemorrhage, red-water (babesiosis in cattle).
A country-woman in west Sligo had been healing ringworm in this way for years; she touched the part and said a prayer, asking for Divine Help to heal the lesion. Her protocol was three sessions: Sunday, Wednesday and Sunday. About 1979, one of my aunts had a radical bilateral mastectomy, followed by severe radiation therapy for breast cancer. Following the radiation therapy, she developed dreadful secondary infection of the area. The infection was treated by topical antibiotic and parenteral therapy. As there was no success after weeks of therapy, I persuaded the healer, who had never tried to cure such a case before, to treat my aunt. She used her usual protocol. By the second Sunday, the skin infection was completely cleared up and had remained so for more than 17 years.

Hand-healing and AP: The hand healing technique can be applied to the AP system. Healers emit increased energy discharges from their hands during the healing session, as has been shown by Kirlian photography. One way to influence the Qi system is to concentrate on balancing Channel Qi while passing the hands over the Channels especially in the problem areas. In cases where a Channel is in Excess, the healer wills Qi to move to Deficient areas. If there is no Deficient Channel to take the Qi Excess, will (visualise) the Excess to pass to the excreta (urine/sweat/faeces). In cases of Deficient Channel Qi, draw on any Excesses which exist to fill the Deficiency. If there are no Excesses, will (visualise) some Qi to come from a number of other Channels (especially the reservoirs: the GV and CV Channels) to fill the Deficiency. (Also advise on tonic diets for extra Qi and remember ST36 and BL43 (lateral to BL14) in chronic debilitating diseases). Remember the Luo (passage) points (KI04, SP04; HT05, LV05, TH05; LI06, PC06; LU07, SI07; GB37; ST40; BL58) when redistributing Qi among the Channels, whether using classic needling or psychic transfer.
QiGong: Modern Chinese Communists do not believe in a soul (a personal energy or memory independent of the body) that survives death. However, recent unconfirmed reports from China indicate that research in QiGong is producing exciting results. Mental and physical focusing/control of body Qi is possible. It can be learned and used for many purposes, including diagnosis and healing. Acupuncturists who are Masters of QiGong can often "sense" the location of disturbed Qi in the patient and, without touching the patient, can treat the disorder by directing their own Qi to the correct AP points.
b. Telepathic healing: With or without the conscious knowledge of the patient, by psychic means, some people can help animals or humans to heal themselves. Such healers may be with, or far distant from, the patient: they simply pray for (or visualise or concentrate-meditate on) the patient and "project Qi, or Prana, or healing energy" to the diseased area, Chakra or AP points. The session may last 0.5-5 minutes, or more, and is repeated as often as is necessary.
There are many variations of this technique. To help concentration on the patient, the healer uses the "witness" (focus of concentration) which best suits the healer's temperament. To overcome the imbalance of life Qi, and restore it to normal, the healer "wills" (visualises) healing energy to permeate the energy body of the patient.
In this technique the focus of concentration in absent healing may be a photograph of the patient, a blood-spot or sample of hair, nails or saliva of the patient. Some healers merely write the patient's name on a piece of paper and concentrate on that. Those who use the AP system may visualise the patient's Channel system and "remove" the red flashing areas, replacing them with a golden or white haze, if these are the healer's norms for healthy Qi (see the dowsing methods of diagnosis).
Visualisation: Another type of approach is to visualise the patient at his/her worst, with all symptoms and lesions exaggerated. Then "scrub out" this image from your mind's eye and replace it with a positive one in which the patient is bouncing with energy and vitality.
Those of you who have read of Yoga will know of the concept of Prana, Kundalini and the Chakras. (These concepts are quite similar to the Chinese concepts of Qi and the Channels). One type of telepathic healing visualises the patient with the crown Chakra (on top of the head) open. The healer then imagines streams of energy coming from the Cosmic Source of Energy (or the God Force) beaming down toward the patient, penetrating the crown Chakra and flowing all through the patient's energy system until it is ablaze with light. Then the crown Chakra is "closed" and sealed shut, retaining the healing energy.
Symbols, diagrams and the "Sorcerer's Doll": Another focus of concentration is to use two-dimensional symbols or diagrams, such as standard AP charts. Alternatively, one may use three-dimensional dolls, such as those depicting the human and equine AP points. One may (mentally) visualise needles or bursts of Qi (as golden (Yang) or white (Yin) energy) penetrating the AP points, or the imbalanced Channels, most relevant to the patient's condition. In very serious cases, where one may wish to apply longer stimulation, one may physically insert needles into the correct AP points (or those located by the dowsing) in the doll, willing the Qi to be similarly manipulated in the absent patient.
Such practices may upset the religious feelings of some listeners, as they are very similar to voodoo rituals. If voodoo is seen as Black, the healing ritual must be seen as White, as the intention is positive and good. All human gifts and energies (speech, sexuality, creativity etc) can be used for good or evil. Conscience and intention are very important in the human morality of thoughts, words and deeds.
The Silva Treatment Suites: See Diagnosis by Visualisation, section (c), the "Silva Mental Laboratory". The Silva Work-space also contains every conceivable piece of computerised treatment equipment which the healer may need: electronic therapy machines, acupuncture, laser and ultrasound suite, physiotherapy and massage suite, sauna, hot and cold pools, relaxation rooms, blood- and gas- exchangers, surgical suite, gamma-ray probes etc. The Treatment Suites also have Counsellors and Professional Helpers, specialist consultants and colleagues from the Mental World, who volunteer to help (on request), as needed by the case.
The subject to treated is presented mentally to the relevant suites for comprehensive treatment. Personally, I use more conventional treatment methods, but I occasionally go to my Work-space to help friends who are far away.
Techniques of telepathic healing are almost as varied as the healers who use these techniques. The main thing is to have compassion for and sympathy with your patients and to wish them everything they need to regain health. Love is the key!

c. "Radionic broadcast therapy". Radionic practitioners believe that their instruments can broadcast healing waveforms. One well known company (Delawarr Laboratories, Oxford, UK) recommend that the dials on their broadcast instrument are set to the inverse of the diagnostic rate. For example, if the values on four diagnostic dials were 60, 10, 80, 20 for disease X, to broadcast the healing energy, the values on these dials would be set at 40, 90, 20, 80 respectively. (Note : 60 + 40 = 100; 10 + 90 = 100, etc).
This type of healing is an extension of telepathic healing. In both cases we see a ritual of concentrating on the patient ("tuning in" to the patient), followed by the positive intention to help by correcting the energy, imbalance in the body and energy body.
d. Symbolic transfer of homoeopathic remedies: This is a method which can be used very simply or in more sophisticated ways.
Having chosen the correct homoeopathic remedy, one may put it in a symbol ready for "beaming down" to the patient. A circle or equilateral triangle is often used. These shapes have esoteric and religious significance stretching back thousands of years. The medicine is put into the centre of the symbol on top of (or beside) the patient's name, which is written inside the symbol:
. . . . Tom . .Arnica6. ...........
Occasionally a symbol of the medicine (for example, its name or a geometric shape designed to represent the essence of the medicine) is used instead of the medicine. The healer then "wills" the essence of the remedy to travel to the patient. A variant of this technique is to put the medicine (or its symbol) into the well of a radionic broadcast instrument and to broadcast the essence to the patient, as if it were a radio-wave.
One healing symbol which I use is shown below. It consists of an equilateral triangle, apex up, in a circle. The circle is surrounded by another ovoid shape, topped by the great Omega and bottomed by the great Alpha its end. The patient's name or initial is placed in the centre. The significance which I place on this symbol is as follows. Triangle: the Trinity (Creator, Saviour, Spirit). Circle: continuity, infinity, birth and death and rebirth. The triangle is sharp and angled, a YANG (male) symbol. The circle is soft and round (YIN, female) and contains the YANG. The alpha and omega are symbols of the Godhead also, the beginning and end of all things. They are joined and surround the rest of the symbols.
The meaning is : "May my Patient in his/her short journey from God to God be flooded and surrounded by the infinite energy of our Great God. May God protect him/her".
If this idea interests you, make up your symbol. It won't do any harm and it could do a lot of good! On the other hand, if you show it to the wrong people, you may wind up in the nearest asylum for the mentally disturbed!
