the probability of organic systemic abnormalities;
•the presence of altered states of consciousness;
•assessing the risk of allergens according to EPI parameters of the glow of blood samples.
The GDV system is certified by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation as a medical technical device. Recently, the number of publications on the medical aspects of EPI analysis has increased.
Sport
Assessing the level of performance alertness of athletes [Bundzen et al., 2003, 2005]. By order of the Ministry of Sport of Russia, an EPI system is being fitted into the practice of testing athletes.
The EPI Sport System makes it possible to:
•dynamically determine the psycho-physiological potential of a sportsman so as to effectively control the level of functional reserves and the quality of health during the training process;
•ensure rapid diagnosis of resilience to stress and the quality of mental and psychological energy mobilization in order to predict the success of performance activities.
•carry out a differentiated rating assessment of the psychological and physical potential of a group of sportsmen studied for selection and training purposes, for making timely corrections in the training process.
Research into fluids and materials, including human interactions with materials
•clarifying the difference between natural and synthetic oils [Korotkov et al., 2004];
•assessing the quality of cosmetics [Vainshelboim et al., 2005]
•researching human hair [Vainshelboim et al, 2004];
•researching homeopathic remedies [Bell et al., 2003];
•researching precious stones and their influence on people [Vainshelboim et al, 2005];
•researching geoactive zones and their influence on people [Hacker et al. 2005].
Such a wide range of applications is dependent on the high sensitivity of the EPI method to changes in the emission parameters of the objects under study, when stimulated by a high-intensity electromagnetic field. These parametric changes are evaluated with information theoretic analysis, structural statistical assessments, and artificial intelligence methods.
Research in EPI Bioelectrography continues actively. Each year Ph.D. theses are defended, and collections of scientific works are published in many different languages [Measuring Energy Fields, 2004]. In July of each year, St Petersburg – one of the most beautiful cities on earth – hosts the international scientific conference Science, Information, Spirit, welcoming doctors, scientists and specialists from dozens of countries. Over the last 14 years, these conferences have been convened under the aegis of the International Union of Medical and Applied Bioelectrography (IUMAB). This Union brings together researchers from 62 countries studying the practical implementation of the Bioelectrography methods, growing in number every year.
Technology
The science and protocol for the EPI instrument was developed by a team of internationally renowned physicists, physicians, programmers, and technicians. Currently, there are more than 70 on the staff (more than half with doctorate degrees) based in St. Petersburg, improving and expanding the software and managing the database. The founder, Konstantin Korotkov, comes from a long line of doctors and scientists. With a dozen books to his credit, and guest lectures virtually each month, Dr. Korotkov is well known to many, including the US National Institutes of Health, where he has presented his techniques to an enthusiastic array of doctors and scientists.
The EPI system has been approved by Russian Health Authorities for general use, following clinical trials and the recommendation of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It utilizes almost instantaneous, non-invasive and painless measurements and sophisticated interpretive software with comparisons to an extremely large and reliable database assembled over more than 10 years. This technology has far reaching diagnostic and human performance applications.
The system provides non-invasive, painless and almost immediate evaluation which can highlight potential health abnormalities prior to even the earliest symptoms of an underlying condition, and suggests courses of action. These may include identifying an area for further medical exploration, suggesting products that may be beneficial (such as vitamins, minerals, supplements), or evaluating energy, stress and vitality. In each case, the EPI scan can provide significant information and suggestions.
EPI utilizes a weak, completely painless electrical current applied to the fingertips for less than a millisecond. The body’s response to this stimulus is the formation of a variation of an “electron cloud” which emits light energy photons. The electronic “glow” of this discharge (invisible to the human eye) is captured by an optical CCD camera system and then translated into a digital computer file.
The data from each test is converted to a unique “Photonic Profile,” which is compared to the database of hundreds of thousands of data records using 55 distinct parametric discriminates, and charted so that it is available for discussion and analysis. A graph of the findings is presented as a two-dimensional image. To study these images, fractal, matrix, and various algorithmic techniques are linked and analyzed. In addition, the system provides instant graphic representations of the data to provide easy reference and interpretation in an understandable and meaningful manner; a further graphic representation is generated, placing the indicators within the outline of the human form, for ease of explanation and discussion.
Advantages of the EPI/GDV bioelectrography technique
•The system is easy to use. The analysis can be totally computer-generated and the procedure does not require certification to administer. The system automatically indicates if the images being recorded are acceptable (fingers properly on the pad, no shaking or moisture, etc.), so the results can be analyzed and stored.
•The technology complements virtually all existing treatment philosophies and specialties. The EPI System is a screening tool that identifies weaknesses in the human body and allows practitioners to more quickly and efficiently focus on areas of treatment, as well as providing a comprehensive method of tracking success.
The main advantages are:
•screening evaluation of the psychophysiological state and functional activity of an individual;
•noninvasiveness, safety and complete sterility of the technique;
•assessment of the anxiety and stress levels;
•quantitative information on the energy homeostasis level both for the organism as a whole and for individual functional systems;
•monitoring of an individual’s reaction towards the influence of various treatment procedures, allopathic and homeopathic medicines, and mild informational influences;
•possibility of tracking the evolution of various processes in time and comparing structural, functional and time processes that take place in the organism;
•objectivity of the information – independence from the preferences and experience
