or point electrodes can also be used for these indications. A magnetic depth probe is used when a particularly deep-reaching effect is required (Fig. 1.8).
While the basic therapy aims to improve the patient's general condition, subsequent therapies aim to register the primary and disruptive oscillations with as much detail as possible and then address them. It is possible to treat painful areas or cramps directly or via acupuncture points and meridians. Other proven indications of the bioresonance therapy are focal infections, scar tissue, and interferences.
Placement of the electrodes depends upon the location and the type of illness. In the case of acute inflammations, the body's entire frequency spectrum is fed to the input of the device via hand or feet electrodes. The output leads to the area of inflammation. In case of chronic degenerative illnesses, the problematic area is interfaced to the input. The output is connected to the entire body via a surface electrode. This procedure, recommended by Morell more than 10 years ago, takes into consideration the basic differences as to how an organism reacts. This distinction is no longer an issue with newer bioresonance devices. They collect the information from the problematic area and carry it via a magnetic mat to the points of the bladder meridian along the back (BICOM 2000, Regumed, Inc.).

If possible, the basic therapy should already include the body's own corresponding “pathological fluid.” At the least, it should be part of any subsequent therapies. We use cotton swabs with the patient's saliva, tonsil secretions, nasal discharge, puss, urine, etc. To avoid contamination of the electrode, the cotton swab is placed in a small bag of parchment paper in a beaker that is plastic on the inside, brass on the outside. It is attached to the input of the therapy device.
Using the body's own fluids, secretions or excretions, in the input of the device has proven effective and illustrates the therapy principle of physical oscillations to a lay person. This method illustrates to the patient the particular pathological portion that is part of the body's own complex frequency spectrum (received via the input cable). Consequently, the therapy signal also reflects this ratio more clearly.

Theoretically a very interesting phenomenon, and one commonly used within bioresonance therapy, is the possibility to charge liquids with physical information.
Early on the developers thought of storing therapy signals, fed to the patient via the output cable of the device, in some way in order to extend the therapy's effect over a longer period of time. It turned out that water's ability to carry information was ideal for this purpose. Due to particular physical properties, water molecules are able to build “clusters” and in this way store electromagnetic information. Informational input via the patient and processed in the device is “charged” onto (that is to say stored in) a vial containing water or a water-based solution (usually diluted alcohol) that is connected to the output of the bioresonance therapy device.
This liquid now contains the patient's vibrational information used during the therapy for remote use. The patient can take it drop by drop on days when he/she is not receiving therapy. According to physical law, other carrier substances can be charged with this vibrational information, for example ferrite or iron alloys. The BICOM 2000 uses BICOM chips made from stainless steel, which the patient can attach to a body reflex zone correlating to the therapy.
Later, we will address dosage issues for allergy therapy in greater detail. For now, I would just like to point out that these drops—in no way chemically altered, which an analysis can confirm—have been transformed into a highly effective therapeutic substance for the patient.
Veterinary medicine favors this option and uses it routinely when the application of therapy encounters technical problems. Animals respond particularly well to bioresonance therapy. In many cases a single therapy session followed by taking the drops is sufficient to bring about expedient healing of all kinds of illnesses.
The therapy device has to comply with certain criteria. For many years we used the MORA device designed by Morell himself. In 1987, we switched to the BICOM device (Brugemann, Inc.) that offers many advantages to the original device.
Being able to attenuate vibrational information is an important advantage in pediatrics. Children usually are patients with very high electrical conductivity and respond well (according to Chinese acupuncture they are usually more yang than yin). Rather weak stimulation may cause strong reactions with these patients. Experience has shown that they often benefit more from an attenuation of the body's own oscillations rather than amplification, which was commonly used in the past.
The BICOM technology makes it possible to select specific portions of the entire frequency spectrum for the therapy. A “separator” separates the so-called harmonic (healthy) frequencies from the disharmonic (unhealthy) frequencies. All unhealthy frequencies are converted and thus transformed into their mirror image. Harmonic frequencies can be separated and amplified selectively, or inverted in conjunction with disharmonic frequencies.
A third important setting on the therapy device is the frequency range. It is based on the patient's own frequency spectrum and will be returned to the patient via the device. In the experience of many bioresonance therapists, it is more effective to return a narrowed range of the frequencies registered by the patient instead of the whole spectrum simultaneously. One of the significant improvements of the BICOM device was the possibility to return such a narrow frequency range to the patient. This thought was based on the observation that the therapy seemed to be more effective when the therapy signal the patient received was as “pointed” or as specific as possible. Brugemann compares the method to homeopathy (Brugemann 1990). Out of the many possible potencies of a substance, one specific potency is particularly effective, whereas the others show little or no result.
In addition, the BICOM technology offers a so-called sweeping bandpass. The advantage of the sweeping bandpass is that all frequency ranges in question can be administered to the patient at a predetermined rate. According to C. Smith (1985) “each body reacts to beneficial frequencies in a very short time, while harmful frequencies require a significantly longer time to become effective.” Selecting the correct rate for the frequency sweep ensures that beneficial frequencies will positively influence
