It’s the season to be jolly!

But there seems to be so little to be jolly about!

No worries – I found something that will surely make you laugh out loud.

This article by Iurii Titarenko (PhD in Psychology, Private Scientific Institution “Scientific and Research University of Medical and Pharmaceutical Law”; European Academy of Digital Medical Technologies – “Re-Generation” Center, Ukraine) is the best comic relief Santa can offer:

Bioresonance therapy is a cutting-edge approach that uses electromagnetic waves to restore the body’s natural bioelectric balance and activate inherent self-healing mechanisms. It is steadily gaining recognition across diverse medical fields – ranging from allergology and neurology to metabolic disorders and oncology.

This article examines the clinical outcomes associated with employing bioresonance for the treatment and support of various patient groups, including those with allergies, autoimmune conditions (notably those related to Lyme disease), metabolic imbalances, chronic pain, depression, cancer, and other health challenges.

Of particular importance is the therapy’s demonstrated effectiveness in alleviating allergic reactions, stabilizing metabolic processes, managing neurological conditions, and mitigating the adverse effects of conventional cancer treatments. Beyond these benefits, bioresonance not only enhances patients’ overall well-being, but also complements traditional therapies by improving their outcomes, minimizing side effects, and hastening recovery. It has shown promise as a means to refine and optimize existing treatment regimens, thereby paving the way for more comprehensive patient care. The article also highlights the method’s potential applications in routine medical practice and emphasizes the necessity of further clinical trials to identify optimal therapeutic parameters and clarify its mechanisms of action.

Bioresonance therapy could become a crucial adjunct to traditional medical strategies, substantially improving patients’ quality of life. As ongoing research continues to elucidate its role, incorporating bioresonance into integrated treatment plans may broaden therapeutic horizons, enabling personalized, preventive, and more effective healthcare solutions for the future.

For those who do not know much about bioresonance, let me just confirm that is pure nonsense. One of the best tests of bioresonance is this one. Its results show that bioresonance:

  • failed to diagnose serious diseases in the patients,
  • gave a clean bill of health to a corpse,
  • diagnosed a host of health risks in healthy volunteers,
  • produced variable results for a sample of liver pate as well as a wet towel with standard deviations for repeated tests exceeding 200%,
  • was unable to differentiate between a wet towel and the healthy volunteers.

But such findings did not stop the author of the above paper to arrive at his pseudo-scientific conclusion:

Bioresonance therapy is a promising method that opens up new opportunities in the treatment and support of patients with various diseases …

Needless to mention that he does not supply any reliable evidence for his outlandish claims.

(Mainly, I guess, because there is no such evidence)

20 Responses to Bioresonance as an “Innovative Method of Bioquantum Medicine” – some ‘Christmas Cheer’ for all my readers

  • @Edzard: the link to the article is wrong, it should probably be this one:
    https://ssp.ee/index.php/mpm/article/view/166
    or the PDF version:
    https://ssp.ee/index.php/mpm/article/view/166/172

    As an electronics engineer with biomedical expertise I can confidently state that all bioresonance is a scam, a fraud. Cells and organs do not produce identifiable ‘resonances’ that can be picked up using simple hand-held electrodes.
    Most bioresonance devices do not measure anything at all, apart from skin resistance to see whether a customer is holding the electrodes. The ones that do measure something simply measure electrical noise, from which almost any ‘signal’ can be retrieved using basic filtering – and this filtered signal has nothing whatsoever to do with the state of health.

    The claim that bioresonance devices can actually treat conditions is equally fraudulent. Even if a device sends a tiny electrical current through a customer’s body, that current has no effect whatsoever.

    Rather amusing is reference #12:
    Wüthrich B., Frei P. C., Bircher A. et al. Bioresonance – A diagnostic and therapeutic nonsense. Aktuelle Dermatologie. 2014. Vol.40. No.7. P.283–287. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0034-1367626 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0034-1367626

    Apparently, in his zeal to find as much supporting literature for his pseudoscientific views as possible, the author failed to notice that this referenced article strongly condemns bioresonance as nonsense.

  • Bioresonance covers lots of methodologies. We have those with random numbers, those using radionics those scanning 1000s of frequencies and measuring feedback.
    The later has been used for years in Russia and has considerable research data.
    The political situation hasn’t helped but with a little research you can find widespread use also in Japan , China and other countries as well as Rusdia and Eastern Europe.
    Richard can gloat over those systems using noise, random numbers and radionics. However, he may be in for a pleasent surprise when he finds that for decades many engineers like himself have been working on bioresonance systems. This has been established in countries where they are not interested in battling away justifying themselves to the west.
    Richard is going to find himself rather swamped in Bioresonance reports very soon.
    Check out the imedis.ru website for a Bioresonance system that is widely used with an extensive research Base.

    • “Bioresonance covers lots of methodologies. We have those with random numbers, those using radionics those scanning 1000s of frequencies and measuring feedback.” AND ALL HAVE IN COMMON THAT THEY ARE NOT BASED ON SOUND EVIDENCE.

    • @JK
      On several occasions, I was asked to design and build machines just like the fraudulent crap offered by those Russians – by people who knew full well that they were committing fraud. In their words: “Of course it doesn’t work. It just has to look as if it works. We can make huge amounts of money selling these machines!(*)”
      In response, I told these people that I don’t do business with quacks and criminals. They got quite angry 🙂

      However, he may be in for a pleasent surprise when he finds that for decades many engineers like himself have been working on bioresonance systems.

      And in 2022, two of those engineers, Jochen Seipel and Yannik Seipel, received jail sentences of 2 and 3 years for fraud, plus a fine of 2.5 million euros.

      And oh, those engineers are most definitely NOT like myself. I don’t defraud my customers.

      Anyway, I can’t blame you or other ignorant quacks for believing that bioresonance actually does something – not only do you know nothing about physics or medicine or any related subject, but this bioresonance deception can be pretty sophisticated.

      The first time a gullible customer is ‘scanned’, the software makes up health problems such as magnesium and vitamin B deficiency. This fake diagnosis is then stored under the customer’s name.
      If this customer then returns after a couple of weeks for a new scan, the software program looks up the name and diagnosis, and then produces a scan result with an improved diagnosis (e.g. no more deficiencies in magnesium and vitamin B) – because the bioresonance quack has of course ‘treated’ the person with supplements. But the new scan also reveals new but luckily minor problems, e.g. ‘beginning adrenal fatigue’. This of course must be treated right away to prevent it from getting worse – lucky that we caught it early!

      *: And yes, bioresonance is a VERY lucrative fraud. From the looks of it, those Russian machines probably cost a couple of hundred dollars to make, but are sold for a staggering $14,000.
      And of course the ignorant quacks who buy such machines then in turn charge their gullible customers something like $50 – $100 per ‘scan’. So you only need to fool 200 people for $100 each to turn a nice profit!

    • Professor Ernst and Richard Rasker both possess a shedload of the quality integrity.

      Whereas the comments of sock puppet ‘JK’, over the years on this blog, make abundantly clear that it does not simply lack integrity, it advocates and glorifies deceit in the practise of so‑called alternative medicine (SCAM).

      • Amazingly there was no output of fallacies or dictionary definitions from Pete ‘the bot’ Attkins in its last post.
        A reboot over Christmas should sort this out.

  • The imedis Russian bioresonance device goes for far more than $14000 Richard. You obviously don’t know much about what’s going on.

    The huge database of Russian and far eastern research on bioresonance isn’t going to go away despite the politics.

    You probably don’t have the time but just to be sure you might want to check some of it out a bit more.
    It is not my problem if you don’t.

    https://imedis.ru/pages/149

    • why don’t you show us one or two studies that you consider convincing?

    • @JK

      The imedis Russian bioresonance device goes for far more than $14000 Richard.

      So it’s even a much bigger fraud?

      You obviously don’t know much about what’s going on.

      I guess I don’t. Of course there’s this:
      https://www.elementrum.net/product-page/device-expert-4th-generation
      But that can’t be right if you say so. They probably missed a zero or something, and I bow to your superior intellect in finding the price of these extremely advanced devices.

      The huge database of Russian and far eastern research …

      Yes, I looked into that. And I’m particularly impressed with the number of peer-review RCTs that show the great benefits of this device.

      Oh, but now that you convinced me of this huge development in medical technology, I wonder if I can even use it? Before I order one and spend my life’s savings, I must check compatibility … OK, let’s see … Ah, here are the computer software requirements:

      Operation system: Windows 95/98/ME/XP/2000.
      Processor: Pentium 200 or higher.
      Video: minimum: 640x480x16 colors (VGA) recommended: 800х600 HighColor or TrueColor
      Use of 16 or 256 colors modes is not recommended.
      Memory: 32 MB or higher.
      Hard disk: 100 MB for program files; at least 10 MB free space for work.
      Ports: one free serial port RS-232c (COM-port) for connection of the apparatus; connecting cable has 9 pins. If port of your PC has 25 pins then adapter is required; parallel (printer) port (LPT) for electronic key.

      Well, that sounds like cutting-edge technology, for which I shall gladly plonk down several tens of thousands of dollars!

      https://imedis.ru/pages/149

      Ah, yes, all from Mr. Gotovski … or dear Yuri, for his friends … also with an impressive number of peer-reviewed RCTs to his name ..
      There is of course the odd problem that none of the ‘literature’ references actually leads anywhere …

      Oh, wait, I think I found it! From that page I mentioned at the beginning:

      “The built-in electronic medication selector offers over 55,000 electronic equivalents of homeopathic medicines, nosodes, organ preparations, and allergens …”

      So the it all works using homeopathy! And THAT’s why I can’t find any real information – it’s all the homeopathic equivalent of information! It looks like nothing is there – but in reality, it is all highly potent!

      Or to summarize it all in three words, in the season’s spirit at that: HO HO HO!

      Merry Christmas, С Рождеством, and thanks for all the laughs!

  • Most of the 1000s of studies are in Russian. A few may be in German.
    You could contact imedis for the up to date status in various countries and for translations of any large studies.
    However they may be as keen to talk to you as you are to them. So maybe wait until it gall gets si big in Japan that it filters through to your networks.
    Glad to be of help though in letting you know the extent of it all.

  • @JK, so you have been convinced by these many studies in Russian “or maybe in German”? So you have read and critically reviewed them all then?

    Or..

    You saw someone saying there’s a lot of evidence and just accepted that as fact, uncritically? Surely not

  • No Dull spark. I have seen it work for myself on my travels on 3 occasions.
    Lots happening in Japan which will sooner or later filter through.
    I am just doing you all a favour in letting you know.

    • I wasn’t asking for anecdotes but for evidence.

    • “I have seen it work” so thats a clear no you haven’t examined any evidence, haven’t presented any and just expect people to believe your n=1 anecdote.

      Audacious if nothing else, but your lack of critical thinking is breathtaking.

      No one here will be waiting for evidence to filter through.

  • Thanks to Richard for letting me know of the reduced price. I might wait for it to go to $10000 before placing an order.
    Sorry to hear that buying this device would use up all of Richard’s life savings though. Unfortunately for Richard
    It looks like some countries dont adopt Richard’s evidence criteria, hence the widespread usage.

    • @JK
      You’re welcome. And when you actually have one of these machines at your disposal after spending $10k, I can explain how you can test them, and find out that they don’t work at all.

      Just for starters: ‘scan’ yourself a couple of times under different names ages, and sexes. You will get wildly different results, depending on the name, and the machine won’t even notice that female organs are missing if you’re a boy but register as female.
      You can have hours of fun discovering all the many ways in which the machine completely fails to deliver on its promise!
