There is no single definition of radionics nor any universal agreement as to what constitutes the practice of radionics. To understand this situation, and what White Light Radionics is, and can do, it is necessary to understand a little of how radionics came to be developed.
The pioneer of radionics was Dr. Albert Abrams (1869-1924) an American medical doctor who specialised in neurology. He had studied at a number of medical institutes including Heidelberg University where he was taught the 'radiational concept of disease by Professor de Sauer. The term radiation should be understood as the energetic emissions from living tissues and not radiation in the sense of radioactivity (ionising radiation).
That a type of energy was associated with the living human organism was not a new concept. Franz Anton Mesmer, who is credited as the pioneer of hypnotism, was concerned with bodily energy which he termed animal magnetism. He constructed elaborate pieces of equipment in the 18th century to transmit that energy from one person to another in an attempt to effect healing. In the 18th century Luigi Galvani, from whom we get the term 'galvanism', experimented with electricity in animals. This energy, radiating from living tissue, has been known about for centuries and been given many different names such as Ch'i, Ki, Prana, Mana, Od, Orgone, Bioenergy etc.
Abrams, who was a Professor of Pathology and Director of Clinical Medicine at Stanford University in the U.S.A. experimented with many different techniques in his medical practise including the art of percussion which consisted of tapping the fingers over the body and listening to the accompanying sound. This technique is still used today for examining the lungs. In 1910, during the percussion of the abdomen of a patient with cancer of the lip. Abrams discovered a single, small area that gave a dull sound, but only when the patient was facing west. He came to the conclusion that the diseased tissue on the patient's lip was emitting a different energy from that of healthy tissue and that the disease energy was being transmitted via the nervous system to the abdomen where it affected muscle tone so as to produce the unusual sound.
Abrams' next experiments were undertaken using healthy male medical students. He found some students would have different reaction when exposed to diseased tissue. For example, he experimented with one student who would take on the characteristic pallor of a tuberculosis (TB) sufferer when a small piece of TB tissue, in a sealed container, was placed on his forehead. He next had the student stand on metal plates from which wires extended to another metal plate. On the second plate he would put different samples of diseased tissue and note the student's reactions. He also percussed the student's abdomen and found that each type of disease would produce the original dull sound, but at a different spot.
From these experiments Abrams concluded that diseased tissue not only emitted a different energy to that of healthy tissue but that different diseases had unique energetic signatures. This energy was also capable of travelling along a wire in much the same way as electricity. Using these methods. Abrams was able to build up a map of disease locations on the abdomen, he called this technique Spondylotherapy and his book on the subject is still available, along with the many standard text books that he wrote, in various medical libraries.
