How does BICOM® bioresonance work?
Understanding bioresonance at a cellular level.
Bioresonance therapy sits within the wider field of complementary and holistic therapies, alongside approaches such as homeopathy and acupuncture.
At the heart of bioresonance is the idea that the body is not only biochemical, but also electromagnetic, and that the cells within it are constantly exchanging information. To understand how BICOM® bioresonance works, we need to start there.
Every cell has a frequency pattern.
Matter behaves as both particles and waves.
One of the important discoveries of quantum physics is wave-particle duality: the principle that matter can display the characteristics of both particles and waves.
Within the theory behind bioresonance, this is used to describe substances in terms of their electromagnetic characteristics. Cells, tissues and substances are therefore considered to have their own characteristic wavelengths or frequencies.
These individual electromagnetic characteristics are referred to as a frequency pattern.
Cells communicate with one another.
Your body depends upon a constant exchange of information.
The human body can only function because its cells communicate. Every second, enormous amounts of information are exchanged throughout the body, allowing individual cells, tissues and organs to carry out their different roles while functioning as part of one interconnected system.
Research into biophotons explores the extremely weak light emissions produced by living cells. Within the bioresonance model, electromagnetic oscillations and frequencies are considered part of this exchange of biological information.
When communication and regulation are functioning normally, information can move through the system without interference. This continuous exchange of information between cells is central to the way bioresonance understands the body.
What happens when that communication is disturbed?
Stress-inducing influences may interfere with the body’s normal regulation.
The body is continually exposed to influences from both inside and outside itself. Within the bioresonance model, factors such as toxins, viruses, bacteria, allergens and environmental stresses are considered capable of creating disharmonious frequency patterns.
These patterns may interfere with the normal exchange of information between cells and, in turn, with the body’s ability to regulate itself effectively.
Rather than looking only at the symptoms that eventually appear, bioresonance therefore looks at the underlying energetic or frequency patterns associated with the individual.
From disrupted communication to physical symptoms.
The theory is that energetic disturbance can come before physical change.
Within bioresonance, impaired cellular communication is considered capable of affecting the way cells and biological systems function. Initially, this may be experienced as relatively non-specific changes in wellbeing or performance.
As disturbances persist, the theory proposes that the body’s normal regulatory processes can become increasingly affected, eventually contributing to more noticeable physical symptoms.
This is why bioresonance focuses on identifying energetic disturbances rather than simply responding to the symptom itself.
Determining individual stresses.
This is where the BICOM® device comes in.
The next stage is to explore which substances or influences may be creating stress for the individual. The original bioresonance model also places importance on the body’s extracellular environment, the fluid surrounding the cells, and its relationship with the body’s regulatory and elimination processes.
Using BICOM®, the practitioner can work at a bioenergetic level, testing the individual’s responses to different information and substances. Depending upon the session, these might include information associated with allergens, environmental influences, toxins, bacteria, viruses, dental materials or other potential stresses.
The purpose isn’t to make a conventional medical diagnosis. It is to identify bioenergetic responses that may be relevant to the individual’s overall regulatory balance.
Testing, not diagnosis
Bioenergetic testing with BICOM® looks at responses to information and substances. It does not identify a disease, and it is not a substitute for a medical examination or laboratory tests.
If a practitioner has a concern about your health, they will tell you to see your doctor.
From testing to therapy.
The identified frequency patterns can then be worked with using BICOM®.
Once relevant stresses or frequency patterns have been identified, the practitioner can select the appropriate BICOM® therapy.
The body’s own information is picked up through applicators connected to the BICOM® device. BICOM® then allows the practitioner to work with that information in different ways according to the therapy selected.
Within the bioresonance model, disharmonious information can be altered or inverted before being returned to the body, while harmonious information can be supported. The aim is to reduce the energetic stress on the system and support the body’s own regulatory processes.
Restoring balance.
Supporting the body’s own regulatory system.
Bioresonance is based on the principle that the body is constantly attempting to maintain balance. When disruptive information is reduced and normal communication is supported, the theory proposes that the body’s own regulatory processes are better able to function.
In other words, the BICOM® device isn’t considered to be doing the body’s work for it. The aim is to support the body’s own ability to regulate itself.
Within the bioresonance model, this allows communication between cells to take place with less interference and supports the body’s natural processes of regulation and elimination.
Where do meridians fit in?
Bioresonance also works with concepts familiar from acupuncture.
The body’s physiological processes are viewed not only in biochemical terms, but also in relation to energetic pathways or meridians. When energy is considered to be flowing freely through these pathways, the body is better able to maintain its internal balance, or homeostasis.
BICOM® practitioners can therefore incorporate information associated with meridians and energetic regulation into testing and therapy. This relationship is one reason bioresonance is often discussed alongside complementary approaches such as acupuncture and homeopathy.
The cellular idea behind bioresonance.
The complete process can be understood as a progression:
- Cells communicate and exchange information.
- Cells and substances have characteristic frequency patterns.
- Stress-inducing influences may disturb those patterns and interfere with normal communication.
- BICOM® is used to explore those disturbances at a bioenergetic level.
- The practitioner selects the appropriate frequency information and therapy.
- The aim is to reduce energetic interference and support the body’s own regulatory processes.
That is the fundamental cellular model behind BICOM® bioresonance.
The device separates the signal it receives into harmonious and disharmonious parts, then returns the disharmonious part inverted. The nearest everyday comparison is noise-cancelling headphones, which play a sound wave back against itself.
A complementary approach, not a diagnosis.
BICOM® bioresonance is a complementary approach and is not used to diagnose disease.
The principles described on this page explain the model on which bioresonance therapy is based. While aspects of it draw on concepts from physics and biophysics, the bioresonance model itself is not accepted by conventional medicine, and it has not been tested in the kind of controlled clinical trials that would be needed to establish it as a medical treatment.
Bioresonance should therefore be viewed as a complementary approach rather than a replacement for appropriate medical diagnosis or treatment.
