On using the FM and VAR setting Part1

On using the FM and VAR setting (Part2)

Connection of  FM/VAR painting and  TCM

Sticky spots, reverse polarity and tissues which don't heal


Connection of  FM/VAR painting and  TCM

The following is only my personal experiences not necessarily meaningful.

In spite of using FM/VAR at a fixed point.  We also do FM/VAR painting.
This technique is somewhat similar to the traditional Chinese cutaneous
scraping therapy.  There are important principles of scraping therapy in
order to avoid inappropriate reaction (it could be explained in physic terms
but need some time, so let's just skip it).

1. It is better to scrape the back before scrape the abdomen, especially on
chronically ill patients.
2. From meridian point of view, when scraping the yin (lung, heart,
pericardial, liver, spleen and kidney) meridian, it is better also scraping
the reciprocal yang meridian (colon, small intestine, triple warmer, gall
bladder, stomach, and bladder).
3. when painting, lighter first, then heavier
4. Purging heat(i.e.moving away): fast and heavy
5. Invograting(supplement): slow and light, at body back, some in upward
direction
6. Adjust according to body weight, heavier for overweight person

When we do large area painting, most of the time we automatically fulfilled
the 2nd principle.  I remember once on the website, a person suggested that
one patient had an unusual response, maybe due to not following the 1st
principle.

As it had been taught in the training course, if the patient had
constipation, then you moving the SCENAR in clockwise direction at his
abdomen and this is in accordance with the concept of purging heat. Long
line scraping is also belong to purging.  The opposite counterclockwise
belongs to invigorating , so when the patient has diarrhea, we treat him
with this direction.  If you moving in a spiral direction, it contain both
components.

Generally speaking, the symptoms of the patient can give you some clues.  If
heat, pain is more dominant, then the symptom is more yang prominent, at
this time more purging  is needed.  If cold,soreness, numbness is more
dominant, then he is more yin prominent and invigorating is needed. Be
careful in extreme case, things would reverse.
Shortly after painting, the appearance of red indicative of yan aspect, the
pale part the yin side.

There are basically 4 ways to have the best results in the shortest time
according to the patients' conditions:
1. Pure purging
2. Pure invigorating
3. Purging then invigorating
4. Concomitant purging and invigorating

In the case although this patient showed prominent yan symptoms, she also
had been ill for a period of time, she is what we called on deficient fire.
In spite the rules that we learned in the training course, the above rules
were added (i.e. mostly purging, but also a small part of invigorating,
because she didn't look like kind of already very weak person before she
became so sick).  The back just like ordinary, the head just like what were
taught in the class and 6 points. In the ventral body side, I just treating
the more central part of chest and abdomen but not gynecology area. I also
did the Su-Joc, and inner side of the feet till below knee, downward along
those yin meridian to the bottom of feet then upward and repeated (this
involved the 5 elements theory, I don't think most people interested).  At
this stage the spleen meridian was quite important.  Too long time therapy
was not necessarily good to her, so I try to control the time not too long.

If this was an ordinary patient, to us maybe it was only piece of a cake.
But with this kind of patients, the progression of the disease sometimes
fairly fast and once flare up, the problem became tough.  This patient
already moved into this direction but not too deep for us to resolve.  Maybe
this was God's will and also help us our imperfect performing.

Sticky spots, reverse polarity and tissues which don't heal

Now to another subject:  the concept of blockage of energetic pathways is as old as recorded history and is a mainstay of acupuncture.  Although written about 300 years ago, it has been more recently researched by Bjorn Nordenstrom, MD, the director of radiology in Stockholm and the former president of the Nobel committee.  It has been proven that the blood vessels, lymphatics, and peri-neural sheaths are electrical conduits in the body which are the primary communication pathways of the body.  The walls of the vessels are like insulation on a piece of electrical wire.  The fluid in the vessels is like the copper wire.  Electrical information moves over this system much faster than through nerves.  Once you get to the cellular and extracellular level, the electronics of the body is connected by ionic electricity (if you don’t remember what ions are, look them up on the net). 

A capacitor is a device which holds electrons for future use.  In the body, these capacitors are made up of ions. 

Injured tissue is electro-positive.  White blood cells, proteins, and other things needed for healing are electro-negative.  Thus they are attracted to the injury by the charge.  In addition, the body creates ionic capacitors around the injury.  These capacitors thus store and release the energy necessary for the tissue to heal.

Blood and dying tissue are electro-negative.  When you bleed into an injury or have tissue death, there is enough electro-negativity to convert the normally electro-positive injury and associated capacitors to negative.  When the polarity switches, there is no longer an attraction to bring the things necessary to heal.  This switched polarity prevents healing and is what is known in acupuncture as a “blocked meridian”.  Acupuncturists create energy to correct the polarity = unblock the meridian so the capacitors can release their energy to the injured area.  Polarity therapists (a type of massage therapist) do the same.  Magnets do the same.  Reflexology does the same.  Qigong therapists do the same.  I think you get the point.  All of these procedures are aimed at correcting the polarity of the ionic capacitors so that normal healing can resume.  One can utilize the SCENAR to quickly do the same correction of the polarity.

When the tissue polarity is reversed, it is manifest by creating a magnetic field which manifests itself through the skin.  This is identified as a “sticky” spot.  All SCENAR therapists use this phenomenon as an asymmetry (a term with special meaning to SCENAR folks).  However, you can find these sticky spots = magnetic field with any magnet-attracting metal, e.g., a simple stainless steel dinner spoon.  When you rub the spoon over the body, you will find these areas of magnetism. When you find them, you will have found the reversed-polarity-ionic-capacitors (blocked meridians) associated with disease.  One can resolve them using traditional SCENAR rules.  However, you can resolve them faster using ancient techniques of polarity therapy = in Diag 1 find the sticky spots.  Now begin the spin the device counter-clockwise over the sticky spot and watch for it to go to zero.  When it does, brush the spot again.  You will find that the sticky spot (magnetic field) is gone or nearly so.  Continue the process until the magnetic area can no longer be found.  You will find that the pain, dysfunction, etc. associated with this area is also gone. 

Remember that the magnetic field has depth and is like a cork-screw.  As you unwind it, you can sometimes feel that it angles off in a particular direction that is not necessarily perpendicular to the surface. 

When you treat people who can feel energy, they will describe to you that they can feel the unwinding of the reversed polarity in the tissue.  Energy-sensitive massage therapists are particularly good at helping you know what you are doing as you learn this technique.

The point is that all of the various energetic paradigms/techniques such as acupuncture, acupressure, reflexology, massage, Voll, chiropractic, osteopathy, craniosacral therapy, polarity therapy, etc. have a common pathway which leads to the reversed polarity of the local ionic capacitors described by Nordenstrom.  As an acupuncturist/massage therapist/chiropractor that was a patient told me today, “I have been doing this slowly and laboriously with my hands for years.  You did in minutes with the SCENAR what it took years of study for me to learn to do with my hands---and my hands are wearing out!”.

On using the FM and VAR setting

To Paul, Barth, Dick
Hello

this following message was sent back to some MD associates who have been
using the SCENAR device - they sent me some very encouraging case reports
concerning persons they have been working with

my reply to them (which is below) makes reference to those case reports
without describing them in any detail

if you are not familiar with the SCENAR device, this message will be of not
much interest although the last third might be intriguing if you are
interested in self-regualtion in organisms and the healing process

I thought I might as well post this on the general site in case a few of you
find it helpful or stimulating

so here goes

**************************************************************
thanks for the case reports - all encouraging

I thought I'd stick my neck out a bit and offer some thoughts of mine - I,
like the rest of us, am doing my best to understand this SCENAR phenomenom
and so please take whatever I have to say here as a "work in progress"

I was struck by the general use of FM/VAR in the "painting" technique
described in the case reports - this is just a guess of mine (here's some of
the early "neck sticking") but I don't think Zulia Frost was using FM/VAR
for the majority of the treatment on Barth in Dallas - let's be clear...I
don't KNOW what she was using BUT I don't THINK it was FM/VAR - it may have
been FM/VAR here and there

to my knowledge, when in the painting mode, one generally does not use
FM/VAR extensively - typically, specific settings such Sk2, Sk3 or Sk4 are
used with frequency settings such as 29.7, 59.3, 90.3 qnd 121 Hz - (this is
in contradiction to Jerry Tennant's general approach for areas he perceives
as being "low in energy" - Jerry uses FM/VAR in painting mode quite
frequently in such a case)

my understanding of the work of Barth and Paul is that the painting of
FM/VAR is done as a basic general technique without the Jerry "low energy"
prerequisite - which makes it a "step further" than Jerry's "low energy"
FM/VAR painting  (I do note that a couple of Paul/Barth's case reported
"NOBODY" readings)

OK, first point - FM/VAR is a setting where two dynamics are in motion:
1) the FM which is a cycle through the frequencies from 29.7 to 121 Hz -
Revenko, while in London explained it to me as 30 to 120 - I assume that was
a convenience and he actually meant 29.7 to 121 - as I recall (which is bit
tough because we had a lot of info flowing through a translator during a
break from the main lecture - it was hard to hear amidst the loud parallel
conversations going on) - again as I recall Revenko explained that these
frequencies had very little skin penetration and as a consequence did not
evoke deeper tissue nerve stimulation into the central processes

2) the VAR is a damping cycle through Sk1 to Sk4 - Sk1 and Sk2 are more
harsh wave forms and useful for more Acute conditions and Sk3 and Sk4 are
softer, less harsh signals for more Chronic conditions

The FM/VAR setting is described as a "local training" meaning that the site
at which the device is placed is brought into a complex, ever changing
communication with the central processes of the body - most typically, this
is done at a site which has 1) been recognized as "special" in that it has
been disconnected from the central process in an earlier attempt to safe
guard the central processes from the conflicted, unresolved stressful nature
(that's the numeric analysis which recognizes it as an "asymmetry"), 2) the
central processes have been alerted of its "special" characteristic as well
as its local position (that's the DOSE) and 3) this "special" site has been
re-connected back into the central processes (that's the ZERO).....4) the
FM/VAR is used to "train" the local dynamic (that's the asymmetry again) to
remain in communication with the central processes

this constitutes the basic use of FM/VAR in the Diag 1 setting - the FM/VAR
in the analytical Diag 1 setting is not (as I understand it) the most
important step - the third step of ZERO/RECONNECT is the critical step in
restablishing the central control in the formerly disconnected local process

the use of FM/VAR in the more subjective Diag 0 setting is not as clear in
theory (at least not clear to me at this time)

in the SCENAR Level One training notes there are a few references to the use
of FM/VAR:
1) in a degenerative chronic condition with no severe pain, use FM
2) in a degenerative condition with severe pain, use frequency setting FM
3) in a degenerative condition with no severe pain,
          start with 15 to 60 Hz, then end with 90 to 121
       OR use FM (which you may recall is a 30 to 120 cycle)
4) in a chronic condition with no acute symptoms, use VAR (with FM)
5) in acute conditions without significant reaction during the treatment,
          use Modulation 3:1 then 5:1 then 3:1
        OR use FM
6) in chronic inflammation, use FM/VAR
7) in aggravation of chronic process,
           use Modulation 3:1 then 5:1 then 3:1
        OR use FM

based on the above list of 7 situations, FM AND VAR
    (as opposed to just FM) could be used as an obvious choice:
a) in a chronic inflammation - #6 above
b) in a chronic condition with no acute symptoms - #4 above
    (I assume this means inflammation does NOT need to be an active
      component of the chronic condition)
c) in aggravation of chronic process - #7 above

from above, #1, #2, #3, #5, are all possible uses of FM, BUT not necessarily
FM/VAR combined

the key to combining the VAR with the FM seems to be the CHRONIC aspect or
the CHRONIC aspect in an AGGRAVATION phase

therefore, it would also follow that one could combine FM AND VAR in:
a)  a degenerative chronic condition with no severe pain - #1 above
    (because it is a CHRONIC condition which happens to be degenerative with
     no severe pain)

along the same line of thinking, it seems FM would NOT be combined with VAR
in the following:
a) a degenerative condition with severe pain - #2 above
    (because the condition may be ACUTE with ACUTE severe pain)
b) a degenerative condition with no severe pain
    (because the condition may be ACUTE although lacking pain)
c) an acute condition without significant reaction during the treatment
    (because it is ACUTE)

well that was pretty confusing for an attempt to make things clear!

so here's a re-statement of the info above (following the "logic" of it?!?)

WHEN TO USE FM/VAR:
1) in a chronic inflammation
2) in a chronic condition with no acute symptoms
3) in an aggravation of chronic process
4) in a degenerative chronic condition with no severe pain

WHEN TO USE JUST FM:
1) a non-chronic (acute?), degenerative condition with severe pain
2) a non-chronic (acute?), degenerative condition with no severe pain
3) an acute condition without significant reaction during the treatment

Ok...now here's the kicker - when painting (which is of course all movement)
when is it good to use the FM/VAR (or FM alone) setting?  - to ask the
question a different way.....is FM/VAR (or FM) a common setting to choose
when moving the device as in painting? - or is FM/VAR (or FM) primarily a
setting for use when remaining in one stationary spot?

in all of Paul/Barth's examples, I believe FM/VAR was used in the sliding
movements of "painting" - certainly in Jerry's interpretation of "low
energy" zones, FM/VAR is the setting used for his "painting" style

this point of theory is important to me and one which I am currently
actively pursuing with the "Russians" by way of Zulia Frost - it sits in the
face of the discussion begging clarification (at least for me)

my understanding of the SCENAR approach is that the effects are reliant on
sets of comparisons - SCENAR does not work without the contrasting condition
of comparison - we arrive at this possibilty of comparison by creating a
context for the information

the context in the Diag 1 mode is created by measuring one place with
another place - in such a manner, the "asymmetry" is exposed - in the
process of "dosing" or "alerting" as I prefer (Jerry likes "alarming"), a
series of comparative modulations are compared relative to percentages of
activity - in the "zero" or "reconnect" phase, signals are compared in
relation to the speed of the exchange

the context of comparison in the Diag 0 mode takes place in a different way:

1) if a spot is being focused on, the context of comparison is typically
created by having the signal turn off and on at a rate determined by the
Modulation setting (1:1, 2:1. 3:1, 4:1, 5:1) - in this way the organism has
a context for comparison - the signal is on then the signal is off - the
duration of on can be varied by the setting

2) also another way of creating the context for comparison when working ona
stationary spot is the Modulation setting FM which is not an on and off but
rather a comparison of frequencies from 29.7 to 121 HZ - the organism uses
these varying carrier frequencies in contrast so as to be able to compare
reactions

3) if an area is being worked (as opposed to a stationary spot), the context
for comparison is created by the movement (typically the movement is
established in one main direction, often down or out) - now you're here and
now you're there - the organism experiences the same signal but in
constantly different locations - how does it feel here? - and now how does
it feel over here? - what about over? .....it is the movement that creates
the context while the signal of the carrier wave remains unchanging

4) another way the context for comparison is created when working an area is
by stroking in the 4 vectors - this is done when an "asymmetry" is located
usually by stickiness, sound change, skin color or subject reporting
significant sensation - when working an asymmetry in the painting style
because you are not moving from spot to spot along a path but instead you
are staying on the very same spot, you create the context for comparison by
alternating the vector - each vector conveys a very different message to the
organism

5) there are other ways of creating the context of comparison in the Diag 0
mode - notice how protocols always work in contrasts such as:
    - big relative to small
    - front relative to back
    - upper relative to lower
    - inside relative to outside
    - right relative to left
    - diagonals such as upper right relative to lower left
    - etc, etc, etc

you can see from my explanation above (I am very much interested in knowing
where I am not clear or where I am outright wrong) that the context of
comparison is created in a number of ways with the SCENAR - when in Diag 1
the issue is fairly straight ahead - in Diag 0 it becomes more varied
however one thing that appears to me is that the signal of the carrier
impulse is constant and unchanging when the context for comparison is being
created with some aspect of movement of the SCENAR device - when the SCENAR
device is not being moved over an area but rather is being held stationary
on a spot, the signal of the carrier impulse will then vary in order to
create the context for comparison by the organism

IF THIS IS SO (?) then the fluctuations in the characteristics of the
carrier impulse while in the FM/VAR setting would be most suited for use on
a stationary spot and not for the "painting" style movements described in
Paul/Barth's cases or in Jerry's "low energy" concept

to re-state the point/question:

is FM/VAR best used in the moving/painting techniques found in Diag 0 or is
it best used in the stationary spot work in Diag 0 (and the 4th step of Diag
1 following the zero/reconnect step)?

I look forward to any discussion this may excite - learning amongst ones
peers is a pleasure and a treasure - let's all look forward to the
information and guidance from practitioners such as Prof Revenko and Zulia
Frost to help us clarify our fledgling queries - it is our good fortune that
this device and its methodologies have been under constant development and
scrutiny for the past 20 to 25 years in Russia - I personally am anxious to
gain deeper access and insight into the work that has been already done - it
makes the work of the future all the more creative

AS A LAST NOTE - this itself warrants a full discussion (however it is late
and I'm ready for bed) - when in the Diag 1 setting, the numbers that result
from the measure of different spots are, of course sometimes higher and
sometimes lower - in direct personal discussion of these values with Prof
Revenko, he explained (to the best of my recollection) that these did NOT
reflect "energy" levels - high numbers did not mean "high energy" and low
numbers did not mean "low energy" - the high or low of the numbers in
general have a relationship first of all to the general "power" level of the
device - a "power" level of 90 will yield numbers generally higher than if
the "power" level of the device is set at 60  - furthermore conditions of
room temperature and humidity can also effect number measurements

when asked to clarify the "meaning" of the high and low numbers, Revenko
explained tersely that they had a conceptual relationship to the Voll
interpretation of "inflammatory" (for the higher numbers) and "degenerative"
(for the lower numbers) - do NOT jump to conclude that here "inflammatory"
and "degenerative" are to be directly interpreted to equal the common
physiological conditions which utilize these same words - the concepts are
more closely related to the dynamics first appreciated in early Functional
Medicine practices - they are informational registers of dynamic processes
of regulation - they have an indirect relation to energetic, chemical and
physiological activities of the organism

furthermore, an important point of clarification from Prof Revenko (which
resulted from his patient appraisal of concepts using several napkins,
forks,etc at our dinner table in London one night)  - the SCENAR is an
INFORMATIONAL device and NOT an ENERGETIC device - it does NOT introduce
"energy" into the body in a fashion like blood being transfused from outside
and into the body - the SCENAR acts as an extension of the body's own
self-regulation - the central processes do not recognize the actions of the
device as coming from the "outside" or as "machine" - as far as the central
processes of the organism know, the local areas are suddenly very interested
in communicating with the central processes - the long lost relative
surprises you with a phone call and wants to discuss getting back into the
family activities again

a crucial key to understanding this business (oh my, will I ever get to
bed?!) is to appreciate that when an initial ALARM response is not capable
of full resolution, the organism protects itself by creating an ADAPTATION -
this means the "unfinished business" of the ALARM still exists in the
mind/body but is "disconnected" from general regulatory activities - in this
way the organism can return to general duties (in short it means the body
chooses to keep on living instead of dying)

HOWEVER...the ADAPTATION still maintains a relationship at the level of
energy supply - it is disconnected at an INFORMATIONAL level - "energy" and
"chemistry" are still available BUT they are not managed by the central
processes anymore - it's as though the ADAPTATION has a "mind of its own"!

think of the ADAPTATION as having a "direct debit" from the main
energy/chemical checking account of the organism - the "money" goes out
automatically

this "energy/chemistry" is still "in" the body BUT is not available to the
body AS A WHOLE - the more ADAPTATIONS we have, the more "energy/chemistry"
is being directly debited - the general organism begins to feel at a deficit
- the organism AS A WHOLE feels at a deficit because of the drain off of
funds to the ADAPTATION patterns

when the SCENAR locates and re-connects an ADAPTATION back into the central
processes.....the "energy/chemistry" that had been in allocation to the
ADAPTATION IS FREED BACK INTO THE ORGANISM AS A WHOLE - Prof Revenko
explained this beautifully in his analogy -

"The energy of the enemy is used for peaceful purposes"

this deep appreciation of self-regulation dynamics - the dynamics of
self-preservation - the dynamics of healing - strikes me as profound

generally speaking when we feel low or lacking in "energy", it is very
likely that the "energy" we seek is actually within us - it is busy
maintaining the ADAPTATIONS which are natures way of allowing us to live
will still carrying around unfinished business

finish up the business - "energy" will be released into the organism as a
whole - the "energy" of the disease is also the "energy" of of healing - the
SCENAR helps the body heal itself by creating channels of communication
along which information can flow

as always

On using the FM and VAR setting (Part2)

Dear All
 
if you've noticed in the past week or so, I've (that's G.) been making various attempts at better understanding some of the principles of SCENAR therapy - recent case reports from Paul and Barth (sent privately), comments and questions from Dick Kravitz and Cheryl Ann Babcock as well as past discussions with Jerry Tennant and Zulia Frost have all acted as stimuli for me to take a closer look at areas in the SCENAR process and organism behavior that have remained uncertain to me
 
I can clearly appreciate that some of you may not be interested in this sort of theory exploration - that's 100% fine - if so please just hit delete - I have been also hoping that by testing my understandings in a (friendly) public forum like this that varying ideas, clarifications and corrections would be forthcoming and save all of us time and energy - (Cheryl Ann thanks for the recent comment)
 
I've had the chance earlier today to speak with Zulia Frost by phone - although she is taking a (very) little time off for some deeply deserved rest, she was kind as ever with her time and spoke with me concerning some of my questions - the following is a result of our talk as well as more self-reflection on my part
 
1) there are definitely times when Zulia uses FM/VAR in a moving or "painting" style - from our talk (which covered a lot of territory in a short time) I understand that she uses a "moving" FM/VAR in basically two situations:
   
    a) when in Diag 0 and "painting" an area or horizontal, when she encounters an "asymmetry" (meaning a spot/zone with primary     signs such as stickiness, redness, sound change, pain/sensation), she will sometimes choose the FM/VAR setting for
    continued "painting" of the "asymmetry" proceeding in each of the four vectors while remaining onthe "asymmetry" - this                 scenario would explain Barth's observation that Zulia was using (at least some of the time and in ceratin areas of the horizontal)     the FM/VAR setting as she worked on him in Diag 0 during the demo in the January Dallas training - I had said in one of my         earlier emails that I did not think she did so - I am wrong and I apologize to Barth
 
    b) Zulia has also explored the use of FM/VAR in a moving/"painting" style in the manner proposed by Jerry Tennant - in this         approach, the moving FM/VAR is applied to an area which yields generally low Initial Reactions (usually around 20 or lower)         as well as readings which register "NOBODY" - this application generally is given to the area in a non-specific pattern for a             period of 20 minutes - similar to Jerry, Zulia reports "good results" with this approach - I do not know the specifics of the                 conditions of the individuals she worked on in this way nor do I know what constitutes"good results" - in any case, her opinion so     far is positive and supports one of Jerry's observations and suggestions
 
it is my recollection that Zulia stated that in each of the situations above (a & b), that the moving FM/VAR approach was appropriate for chronic conditions and not acute conditions - this is my best recall of this point in the conversation
 
2) Zulia was also clear to remind me that FM/VAR is most certainly used in the Diag 1 mode after the zero/reconnect phase of the process - in this approach the FM/VAR application is stationary on the spot/point being treated - this should not be confused with the exploration of a "moving" FM/VAR application
 
3) Zulia was also interested an supportive of the idea which I had proposed in a recent email reply to Dick Kravitz on our group email - the concept was to apply a series of Diag 0 settings in an ordered sequence - this ordered sequence was to be applied in an area which was "severe chronic pain with an inflammatory basis" and was presented to me by Dick Kravitz in a email in our group - when describing the sequence of settings, Zulia corrected me on my understanding of the Damping (Sk) settings
 
in my notes from past trainings, I have two contradicting statements - I am unclear how I arrived at this contradiction - Zulia told me that in last November while in Russian studying with her teachers and clinicians there, she was given this "latest" view of the use of the Damping settings - because I was originally trained by Zulia in my Level One training last summer some time (along with Jerry), it is possible that a more refined view of the Damping settings may have evolved since that time - in any case, in my suggestion of a sequenced series of settings I had stated that:
 
    Sk 1 or Sk 2 are more harsh and appropriate for ACUTE conditions
    Sk 3 or Sk 4 are softer, less harsh and appropriate for CHRONIC conditions
       
        (for those of you with white binders from Jerry's Dallas trainings, you will probably find a one page synopsis of Diag 0                     information on the back of your binder - notice on the right side the pink DAMPING - Shape of Wave Form info as well as the         yellow HOW to USE DAMPING info immediately below it - there is a contradiction there - I made up that sheet and gave it to         Jerry - the yellow info HOW to USE DAMPING shows to use Sk 2 or SK  3 if the condition is NOT CHRONIC - so SK 2 or SK         3 can be used if the condition is ACUTE - directly above in the pink DAMPING - Shape of the Wave Form section it                     shows to use SK 1 or Sk 2 in an ACUTE condition - that's the contradiction!
 
Zulia today reminded me that:
 
    Sk 1 or Sk 4 can be used for CHRONIC conditions
    Sk 2 or Sk 3 can be used for ACUTE conditions
 
she also reminded me to be cautious to not interpret the Russian views to strictly - these are clinical observations - it is true that I place importance on information from the Russian sources - I see value in there experience  - I will definitely evaluate them in more subjective light - I am reminded of a saying......"Everything old is not great; everything new is not wonderful"
 
4) so the amended sequence series that I had presented for Dick's consideration for the "severe chronic pain with an inflammatory basis" is (the exact sequence is not so important - what is important is that each setting is represented) - this sequence would be used in the moving/"painting" style:
   
     1) Sk 1, 15.3 Hz (2 minutes)
     2) Sk 1, 29.7 Hz (2 minutes) 
     3) Sk 1, 59.3 Hz (2 minutes)
     4) Sk 1, 90.3 Hz (2 minutes)
     5) Sk 1, 121 Hz (2minutes) 
     6) Sk 4, 15.3 Hz (2 minutes)
     7) Sk 4, 29.7 Hz (2 minutes) 
     8) Sk 4, 59.3 Hz (2 minutes)
     9) Sk 4, 90.3 Hz (2 minutes)
    10) Sk 4, 121 Hz (2minutes) 
 
notice that with each of the 10 settings being used for 2 minutes, the total amount of time of the application is 20 minutes
 
- 20 minutes is the amount of time the moving FM/VAR has been used over an asymmetry or a "low number" zone
- 2 minutes is the standard amount of time the FM/VAR is applied to a point in the Diag 1 mode after the zero/reconnect
 
in the "sequence series" above, I would suggest that attention be given as to when any primary sign (stickiness, redness, sound change, pain/sensation) either appears or intensifies - for example,if during the SK 4, 90.3 Hz setting the primary signs appeared or intensified, I believe that indicates that the organism is deriving more informational significance from the characterstics of that setting - more time spent in that setting would therefore be indicated
 
you will note that the "sequence series" above includes:
    - 15.3 Hz which FM does not (FM is 29.7 to 121 Hz in a cycle)
    - 15.3 Hz is one of the frequencies suggested for CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
 
you will also note that the "sequence series" does NOT include:
    - Sk 2 or Sk 3 which VAR does include (VAR is Sk 1, Sk 2, Sk 3, Sk 4 in a cycle)
    - Sk 2 and Sk 3 are damping settings recommended for ACUTE conditions
 
a potential drawback of the "sequence series" approach is that it requires that the operator manually shift to the next setting approxiametely every two minutes with each setting being used
 
in recent emails I had proposed a "logic" (if that's even the word for it) that the SCENAR works in great part by creating a context of comparisons - I had also proposed that a "moving" FM/VAR was like "trying to dance to two different songs at the same time" - the concept was that the MOVING of the device created one context for comparison by constantly being in different spots and that the CONSTANT SHIFTING OF SIGNALCHARACTERISTICS in FM/VAR created a second context of comparison - because both of these are occurring at the same time, I imagine this to be "stressful" to the organism in the same way that trying to dance to two simultaneous songs would be "stressful" - I further imagine the organism self-selecting one of the songs to dance to while shuffling the other song out of dominance and in fact creating an Adaptation dynamic for the second "ignored" song
 
I also wonder if the lack of 15.3 Hz (good for CHRONIC INFLAMMATION) and the inclusion Sk 2 and Sk 3 (recommended for ACUTE conditions) in some way limits or detracts from the greater potential benefit of a moving FM/VAR in chronic conditions and "low number"/NOBODY zones - I repeat "I wonder" - I don't know - I must keep remembering Zulia's encouragement to not take these references too strictly - on the other hand, it seems foolish to throw away all the experience of 20 years of scientific and clinical experience and fully accept any new version of SCENAR therapy that anyone of us can dream up one day having treated a grand total of 12 patients! - a yes Grasshopper.........the Middle Path
 
this of course could be a bunch of baloney - the fact that practitioners such as Jerry, Zulia, Barth, Paul and Dick (not light weights in their prospective fields) have been getting "good results" with the "moving" FM/VAR certainly makes me pay a whole lot of attention to my own ideas - what I do keep wondering is what is it about a "moving" FM/VAR that seems to generate "good results" - as Cherl Ann recently pointed out...basically "who cares!" (my words) as long as I get the results...I don't need to know why or explore the theory - I am very respectful of that view - however I personally feel the urge to investigate and explore - part of it is my personality and part of it my responsibility (I am responsible for general research, development and design for the new generations of the SCENAR) - this email forum is currently the best way to communicate with new Western SCENAR users in order to access their opinions, suggestions and ideas - we really do benefit if we stay in communication with each other
 
Zulia's thoughts about why the "moving" FM/VAR was generating benefit in chronic conditions and "low number"/NOBODY zones was that the technique created "random" samples of a variety of signal characteristics and that because the device moves repeatedly over the asymmetry or "low number"/NOBODY zone that the organism self-selects information from an essentially chaotic information stimulation and converts it into a meaningful information pattern - she also stated that she certainly did not see the benefit coming from any transfusing or "pumping" of "energy" from the device into the organism - it is more likely that the information is capable of stimulating an inherent activation of cellular processes which translate into a sense of increased "energy" by the patient
 
although not methodical and also possibly inefficient, this chaotic information stimulation was simple for the operator to apply and still obtain beneficial results for the patient - to be clear, this explanation is not Zulia's full explanation but rather an interim and incomplete theory - I admire Zulia's constant effort (and great success in my mind) to not only learn the English necessary to express the depth of Russian experience but to also expand the her own conceptual vocabulary to meet the demands of an expansion of the SCENAR into the West
 
 
I'm on the road right now and it's getting late (why is it I always get to this stuff when it's time for bed........a few hours ago!) - here are a few other topics that are rambling around in my brain - I plan to explore them - if anyone wants to join in and risk looking silly along with me, please jump in any time - feel free to email me privately if you don't want to do this in such a public forum or you can also email me and request my phone number if you'd rather talk about it instead of type (God typing this stuff takes for ever and it's so much better in a conversational give and take)
 
anyway here are a few other things I want to better understand (many of these are things that on a superficial level seem obvious until you have to explain it past the first question):
 
1) the concept of "energy level" - for example, when an Initial Reaction is 54 and the second Ongoing Reaction is 55 -
                                                this is evidence of a "low energy level";
                                               - when an Initial Reaction is 54 and the second Ongoing Reaction is 95 -
                                                this is eveidence of a "high energy level"
    - notice it is not whether the Initial Reaction is a high number of a low number, it is the degree of difference between them that             makes for evidence of the "energy level"
 
2) Prof Revenko in London explained that a high number in an Initial Reaction could be either related to high or low energy
and a low number Initial Reaction could be related to either high or low energy ( the above #1 points to this idea as I see it) -
however:
    - a high number in an Initial Reaction is considered evidence of an Inflammatory process or an "excess"
    - a low number in an Initial Reaction is considered evidence of a Degenerative process or a "deficiency"
 
    - there is some sense of type/state of "activity" in each
 
    - how do #1 and #2 relate dynamically to each other?
 
3) the concept of DEGENERATIVE is unclear to me - Zulia expressed (again briefly and extemporaneously) the thought that "degenerative" in this context was a "breaking down" (my words) of cell function - she imagined the cells to be dehydrated and undersized - not able to do their "job" - we did also discuss "degenerative" in terms of a cancer which is generally classified as a degenerative disease and agreed that cancer did not fit this idea of "degenerative" as a low activity (I did not say "low energy"!) state - in fact cancer is more likely to be a state of "high activity" as is evidenced by a high number readings over the projection of tumorous activity - this point of discussion led us to hypothesize the possibilty of the three "activity" states:
    - high number inflammatory excess
    - low number degenerative deficiency
    - high number degenerative excess (???)
 
4) in one of my earlier emails I referred to the Revenko analogy of "Using the energy of the enemy for peaceful means" - I understood this to mean that an Adaptation was "energy rich" and that when the segregated (sp?) Adaptation was informationally reconnect with the Central Processes of Self-Regulation that this concentrated energy was then releasee back into the system as a whole to be used by the system as a whole to resolve the Adaptation - as I understand it from my conversation with Zulia, thisis in fact true but more precisely in the case of an Adaptation marked by High Number/High Activity/Inflammatory/Excess characteristics (this may include the "maybe new" third category of the High Number/High Activity/Degenerative/Excess) - it may not be true however of the Adaptation marked by Low Number/Low Activity/Degenerative/Deficiency
 
I would very much like to know more about the Adaptation process and how "energy" (what ever that is!) is managed in the self-regulation processes of the organism - I've got pages of my own theory but I strongly suspect it has holes in it that I'd like to fill in before I blab it out to all of you (if in fact any one is actually reading this stuff)
 
5) in Diag 0, when sliding the device, sometimes evidence of an asymmetry appears as:
    1) increased stickiness, redness, increased sound, sensitivity to the patient
or
    2) very slick with normal skin "texture", pale, decreased sound, no sensation at all reported by the patient
 
I would like more discussion of the implications of these two types of "asymmetry"
 
6) the role of the Autonomic Nervous system in the Adaptation process - Jerry generally explains it by saying that every Adaptation process is accompanied/managed by a sustained Sympathetic dominance (at least as I understand him) - I share much of his view relative to Selye - I don't disagree - however I am not sure that it is as one dimensional and sequence specific as is generally explained
 
7) understanding that the Russian developers of the SCENAR therapeutics at an aeraly stage both appreciated and assimilated traditional Chinese/Oriental medical physiology into the SCENAR view, I'd like to know more of how SCENAR principles correlate to Oriental medicine
 
this is a little like making a Christmas wish list when I was a young boy!
 
I've got a few more but that's enough for now - if anyone wants to take a shot, please do - meanwhile I'll keep talking to whomever will talk - Jerry's still off in the Far East - I suspect he has good contributions to make about many of these things - I look forward to his return - Zulia is great to talk to but is sooooooooo busy, I must respect her time - it's tough to speak directly to the Russians because I don't speak or read Russian - they seem very willing but also very busy in their own activities - as this new Western enterprise keeps maturing we will no doubt have better and better communication 
 
be well
 
I'm sure I'll think of more while laying in bed and awaiting sleep - it's usually first thing in the morning upon awakening or often when I'm in the shower that it all comes flooding in - perhaps on the Alaska cruise some of us can have a few long discussions - that would be fun (I"ve just got to get the water gods to approve of Dick's sea sick medicine!)
 
G. 

G. and group

            It is late, but I will try to summon enough neurons to add some thoughts to your eloquent dissertation on the function of the Scenar, particularly as it relates to moving FM/Var.

            First, let me point out that we have received two conflicting views about what the IR represents.  When Zulia came back from Russia early this year, she gave me a new chart from the Russians which indicate the relative meaning of the IR = the IR’s indicate the energetic status of the body.  Essentially, it charted that IR’s below 21 are energy deficient and the readings are unreliable, IR’s between 21-35 are normal, etc. on up to >65 = athletic.  This chart duplicated my clinical impressions.  Then---as you know---Professor Revenko said in London that the IR’s do not represent “energy levels”.  It was obvious that he was not the Russian on the team that gave Zulia the chart of energy levels (they have their own Jerry/G. team---ha!)

            Professor Revenko also made the statement that using FM/Var greater than two minutes was a waste of time.  I then told him of my discovery that neuropathies could fairly easily be corrected with 20 minutes of FM/Var painting.  I also pointed out that the normal color of the foot returned at two minutes while the nerve sensations returned at 20 minutes.  I also pointed out the same time frame for correcting intestinal obstruction scarring, back pain, etc.  He looked intrigued---he then explained something in Russian to Zulia that I didn’t completely understand.  It had to do with the fact that there are ten “???” stacked, and that I must be going through that stack of ten at two minutes each.  He then said he would try my technique when he went back home.

            The point that must be considered is that tissue or organs that are energetically dead (read Nobody, read a number <20 after about 15 seconds, or give a quick reading still <20) begin to react after two minutes of FM/Var painting and generally lose their stickiness, sound returns, and the red-with-white-spots area disappears after 20 minutes.  (That time can often be shortened by simultaneously applying the Collins diode at 90 or 180 degrees to the Scenar electrode).  That is also the time that most pain disappears or dead nerves begin to function.  If you simply hold the device still on the area for two minutes, you will not get the result.

            Although I may be wrong that FM/Var is giving the body enough energy to create an abundance of its normal healing mechanisms, it is certainly what seems to be happening.  Whatever is happening, it is a useful Gestalt for the practitioner.

            Painting with FM/Var around Pirogov’s ring is also useful in patients in which you are having trouble getting Little Wings.  You will usually find stickiness in the Little Wings areas.  While you are painting, you will often see the muscles start to twitch.  Then Little Wings will work with 3:1, Sk2, 121.

            Using the three paths/six points will identify the nerves---and therefore the troublesome organs---which need help.  Almost 100% of the time, the nerves that require reconnection (taking to zero) will give you stickiness, etc. on the horizontal and often over the involved organ with FM/Var painting.  Each site of stickiness generally requires 20 minutes of painting for resolution.  However, the results are certainly worth the effort.  I agree with Zulia when she says that the most effective treatment is from the work on the horizontals.

            In summary, I am sure I don’t really know what is happening---at least not all that is happening---with the device.  However, I do know from experience that when the IR’s are below 20 or Nobody, I need to paint the areas with FM/Var for 20 minutes to bring them back to life = get readings above 20 and return of some function.  I also know from experience that the nerves that are identified by the IR’s using Stereo on the back correlate very well with the patient’s history.  One will also find asymmetries on that horizontal (or that dermatome) and painting them with FM/Var generally brings resolution to the problem.

            The multiple other settings of the Scenar are generally not necessary unless you do not get an effect from this process.  Then you simply try other combinations until you see a change in the situation.  A change means that you are going to be successful.

 

            ) Zulia was also clear to remind me that FM/VAR is most certainly used in the Diag 1 mode after the zero/reconnect phase of the process - in this approach the FM/VAR application is stationary on the spot/point being treated - this should not be confused with the exploration of a "moving" FM/VAR application

 

I’m sure this is a typo by G..  FM/Var cannot be used in Diag 1—it only can be set when you are in Diag 0.

 

            There is a dual approach to finding the “where” and “how” to treat.  The Eastern approach is that if you can find that exact “magic spot”, one acupuncture needle would correct everything.  This is like having water dammed up and you find the one log that will release the entire dam and let the river flow again.  This is represented by the conventional acupuncture symbol with black on one side and white on the other with corresponding spots of the opposite color in each.  The other approach is the Western approach in which things are identified as normal or abnormal by the “bell-shaped curve”.  In this model, things that are too high or too low are equally abnormal.  I view this (in my typical “lumper” mode) that the stereo technique will help me use comparisons to find the “magic spot”.  I then alarm and reconnect it.  I then view the high and low numbers to help me find the sticky spots on the horizontals. I “pump in energy to create an abundance of the body’s normal healing neuropeptides” using FM/Var.   It may not be elegant or correct, but it works.

             For those of you reading our public “Learning Out Loud” between G. and me, please be assured that we are great friends and I have learned a lot from  G. (and of course our primary teachers = Zulia, Guy, and Professor Revenko) and expect to learn much more in the future.  I hope those of you who read our mutual learning sessions will learn as well.  That is why we are learning in public---so you can learn with us and teach us too.  Please feel free to share---we want to be better at what we do.

Subject: [EnergeticMedicine] Scenar

Last night a friend... 73 year old female came for a visit.
She has had the flue and is recovering slowly....I gave her a Scenar treatment.
Doing the diagnostic starting at C1down the spine etc. there was nobody...
literally...no numbers... 3times a number appeared  ..very fleetingly with no opportunity to
alarm.....her face was better.... I got two readings which I then alarmed, reconnected and Fm Var'ed. 
While I made dinner she sat and held the Scenar on her neck ...the points Jerry just pointed
out a couple of days ago...during dinner her nose started running incessantly....as if she was
just hit with the worst cold....this went on through the evening. This morning she called... nose finished running
and her hearing has much improved! She is one happy camper ...she had just days ago made an
appointment for a hearing aid.
I am puzzled about her back giving NO readings at all....what am I to make of it?
This woman has never had so much as an antibiotic her entire life, the odd flu or cold from which she'd normally recover
quickly. I have done the diagnostic with some very sick folks and have never had no readings at all????

in a recent email I discussed the various possible "meanings" of  the NOBODY finding - to review:
    1) the device is not physically touching the skin - NO CONTACT
    2) the deivice is touching but the skin is too dry or calloused for electrical interaction - NO CONDUCTIVITY
    3) the device is touching the skin and there is electrical interaction however the information being accessed is outside of the processing parameters of the device
        - NO COMPREHENSION   
        - in the case of NO COMPREHENSION, the information may be either - EXCESSIVE (meaning the information is too excited to be processed)
                                                                                                             - DEFICIENT ( meaning the information is too inhibited to be processed) 
        - in this case neither the device or the central processes of the body are deriving useful information from this local site
 
in the case of your 73 year old friend, before interpreting the session I would ask two things:
    1) was her skin "moist" enough for adequate electrical conductivity? - older persons sometimes suffer from dry skin
        - skin conductivity is also indirectly related to environment and climate
        - a very warm treatment room may cause a person to perspire
        - the humidity of Miami in July and the lack of humidity in Palm Desert also have significant indirect influences
        - in a recent conversation with Dick Kratz, the case of a woman was discussed in which the skin was so dry that it seemed impossible to get timely responses
        - he decided to slightly moisten the skin with water and found it very easy to get readings with conventional response times, etc
        - I support this decision because it was his estimation that the extremely dry climate of the desert was the main reason for dimiished conductivity
        - after the water, the IR readings were higher than what one would normally expect however this is of little consequence if one considers the underlying principles
        - the organism reaps significant information from the context of comparison
        - if an IR is 85 then 89 or higher (+4 or more) becomes a new site of significance - it is the +4 or more which is valuable and not the number itself
        - the Asymmetry is evoked by the pattern of the algorhythm irrespective of the numbers themselves
        - I would not recommend moistening the skin if the NOBODY results in an area with sufficient innate moisture
    2) what was the "power level" of the device?
        - we know to set the "power level" for Diag 1 mode at "annoying but not painful"
            - in the "add water" example above, the additional moisture would make for a stronger sensation for the "power level"
            - the "power level" would then need to be decreased to arrive at the "annoying but not painful" level
            - this would indirectly lower the general IR readings and create an acceptable compensation for the fact that water was added to the skin
        - a "power setting" which is too low fails to provoke the INFORMATIONAL ACCESS required for an Initial Reaction (IR)
        - the result of working Diag 1 mode with a "power setting" too low will be:
            a) all of your IR readings will be artificially lowered and not be representative of an overall measure of the degree of INFORMATIONAL ACCESS
                - interpretations of the BACKGROUND NUMBER will be inaccurate
            b) numerous NOBODY readings because the information required for minimal processing has not been evoked
 
if neither of the above (#1 and #2) is judged to be the likely reason for the numerous NOBODY readings, then we would have to assume that the reason is because the information which WAS being accessed was either EXCESSIVE or DEFICIENT for proper processing
 
if so, the organism was having a hard time COMMUNICATING and consequently, the device could not COMPREHEND the informational dynamics - furthermore it is expected that the central processes of the organism would also have a hard time COMMUNICATING with this local site
 
the fact that you obtained adequate IR readings on the face is significant - it reflects both the issue of ASYMMETRY and THRESHOLD
 
fundamentally, the SCENAR relies on contrasts and comparisons for its informational stimulation of self-regulation dynamics - there are innumerable examples of this principle to found upon inspection of SCENAR techniques
 
the 3 Paths and 6 Points well illustrate the concept
 
consider the different facets of the technique which rely on contrasts and comparisons:
    1) the back is large - the face is small
    2) the back is posterior - the face is anterior
    3) the back is higher or superior - the face is lower or inferior
    4) the back has many points for IR - the face has only a few points for IR
    5) on the back, the practitioner's Left is the subject's Left - on the face, the practitioner's Left is the subject's Right
    6) there are probably more examples but at least these come to mind right now
 
in the specific case of your 73 year old friend, there is an additional contrasting comparison:
    - the back had basically no IR readings to work with - the face did have IR readings to work with
    - this pattern ALONE yields significant information to the organism and contributes to the self-regulation requirements necessary for resolution of her "flu/cold" but             more importantly, this evoked pattern provides the organism with the information required for the mobilization of resources and activities related to the DEPTH             HEALING  - DEPTH HEALING goes far beyond the superficiality of common complaint and involves the resolution of core adaptation processes
 
if we as new SCENAR practitioners fail to appreciate the profound implications of ASYMMETRY, I believe we will miss the opportunity to utilize the SCENAR in the DEPTH HEALING of our clients/patients
 
in your treatment of your friend, there is also the expression of THRESHOLD - in all natural processes, the system responds immediately when adequate stimulus is achieved to initiate a process - the moment that one little pebble shifts its position on the mountainside, the avalanche commences - a threshold was reached and a process initiated - the degree of expression of that process is a factor involving many complex variables but the initiation of the process occurs in one event moment
 
if one considers the IR as a expression of the degree of INFORMATIONAL ACCESS at a particular site then it is easier to appreciate that the organism as a whole does not necessarily require a large volume of information in order to set a regulatory response in motion - even if there are only a few sites that participate in creating the information pattern, the system will respond IF the informational THRESHOLD  has been achieved
 
in the case where only a limited number of measured sites contribute to the information pattern, this is a reflection of the tolerance limits of the organism for communication and interaction - its not how much but how well - it would seem impossible that one tiny pebble could "cause" an avalanche - one does not need to do a "lot" in SCENAR therapy to achieve a lot - the caveat is that the system, although responding immediately, needs a certain amount of time to express the response to its fullest capacity - the extent of the response is not a factor of THRESHOLD - THRESHOLD relates to the initiation of the response
 
if  a system can only communicate in a limited pattern then that is its tolerance - in my attempts to understand the effects of generalized techniques as proposed by Jerry and others, I am assuming that the benefit comes by expanding the organism's tolerance for more informational activity - an expanded tolerance is good because the organism is able to avail itself to more information - this expanded tolerance however is not the patterned information itself - the patterned information is a derivative of the Dynamic - Asymmetry - Small Asymmetry - Opposiation - Cycle process
 
if fully support SCENAR techniques such as FM/Var to the carotid or/carotid sinus area - in my best evaluation of their action and merit (and I am definitely open to more learning in this area), generalized techniques such as:
    1) Little Wings,
    2) Pirogov Ring,
    3) FM/Var to the carotid,
    4) "moving FM/Var" over broad areas of low IR readings or many NOBODY readings,
    5) 2 minute default or FM/Var to the 5 Point Star on the belly,
    6) etc
        are a valuable SUBSET of SCENAR techniques
 
as a subset, I believe that they are very effective in shifting the autonomic disposition of the organism and expanding the tolerance of the organism for more informational activity - this alone offers a significant benefit to the organism - plus it generally "feels good" to the subject - they are easy to apply and are generally befitting to most every subject - it is likely that in some cases they provide the stimulus necessary for a more successful utilization of the techniques that rely on the potency of the ASYMMETRY assuming that the practitioner chooses to engage the organism via the ASYMMETRY
 
however (as is obvious and evident) I do not believe that these techniques, which I refer to in category as "generalized techniques", represent the core and principle benefits of the SCENAR - I believe that the core and principle benefits of the SCENAR are derived from a sound understanding and utilization of the ASYMMETRY - this combined with the fundamental of THRESHOLD constitute, in my opinion, the heart of SCENAR therapy
 
Jerry has stated in a past postings (remember he's a great friend and respected associate) that he has noted and is impressed that "the Russians" (rapidly becoming a mythic reference for us here in the West!) remain open to change and new ideas and techniques - this is undoubtledly true based on my own experience as well
 
in London, where we had the chance to study with Prof Revenko, Revenko showed us a small collection of "new" SCENAR techniques illustrating the ongoing evolution of the body of work - yet I believe it is easy to miss a crucial point - the new techniques are expressions of the same core principles of:
    1) Dynamic
    2) Asymmetry
    3) Small Asymmetry
    4) Opposition
    5) Cycle
 
I was totally fascinated by a demonstration given by Revenko in which he did a full "SCENAR" session on a patient WITHOUT using a SCENAR device!!!!!!!
 
it was so elegant and methodical :
    1) first he created the Dynamic by having the person bend to left and then to the right
    2) then he had the person bend a second time to whatever side was the more significant in recognition of the general Asymmetry which had emerged from the                 Dynamic
    3) then he continued creating a context for comparison by introducing other bi-lateral positions such as twist left/twist right etc - each time repeating the more                 significant sided movement - this further isolated the Asymmetry to the level of specificity known as the Small Asymmetry
    4) by moving through all the vectors of possible biomechanical movements of the torso, the organism was given a very broad set of bilateral comparisons - this is             the Opposition
    5) information patterns and relationships were established by the body positions and repetitions were reinforced  by light finger taps at key sites - this extends the         process into action responses which have looped periodicity in the organism - this is the Cycle
 
other SCENAR techniques reflect to me an appreciation of primitive dynamics hidden within an organism - an excellent example to me is the 4 vector "painting" of an Asymmetry  - moving along a pathway, the practitioner is encourgaed to follow an unbroken flow normally along the central access of the torso or limb - when a site is located with stickiness, redness, sound, sensation, the practitioner then shifts into a new pattern of 4 vectors
 
this is a perfect example of the SCENAR taking advantage of archaic polarized relationships in the organism - these polarized relationships predate the expressed features of the organism - they are more primitive than the meridians, nervous system, lymphatic system, etc - polarized relationships follow strict directional rules
 
up to down is very different than down to up - left to right is very different than right to left
 
the SCENAR "horizontal" is a primitive expression of the polarity of the organism than the neurological "dermatome" which although similar at times should note be confused with the "horizontal" - the "horizontals" are also more primitive than the meridians known in acupuncture
 
consider the 4 vector "painting" or stroking of an Asymmetry located along a "horizontal" - this 4 vector pattern also reflects the primitive polarity and will powerfully connect at an informational level with the organism if the polarized pattern of "painting" is followed - one should refer to the pattern of Asymmetry "painting" from the original Russian notes and look closely
 
the directions are at perpendiculars - no diagonals and certainly not helter-skelter - the stroking must follow certain directional angles if the information evoked is to connect at a primitive level of self-regulation
 
notice that:
    1) the downward strokes proceed in strips from Left to Right
    2) the right to left strokes proceed from Bottom to Up
    3) the left to right strokes proceed from Top to Down
    4) the upward strokes proceed from Right to Left
 
this pattern is profound and primitive - dimesionally it lays the grid for three dimensional form - how much attention is given to this pattern dynamic?
 
typically,the Asymmetry will be more sticky in one direction than the other? - if it were simply a matter of physical perspiration of even electromagnetic impedence, then the stickiness etc would be uniform in every direction - the fact that it is not and that the practitiioner is encouraged to work to resolve the Asymmetry in all 4 directions points to an informational response on a primitive level of communication in the organism
 
I believe that the activation of this level of primitive polarized relationships is more effective in activating self-regulatory resolution in the organism than any other technical feature represented in the SCENAR
 
I expect the most powerful pattern of all is the is the spiral and any practitioner that can tease out Asymmetry in the spiral dynamics of the organism is going directly into the very existential basis on self-regulation - I know that Zulia's personal work with the SCENAR is rapidly proceeding in that direction - I am eager to remain active as her student and dream of a time and situation when we all have more access to her experience - add more access to the brilliance of Revenko and we have exciting times ahead
 
I think that's all for right now - if anyone has any comments of any kind about all this stuff, please feel free to jump in - Jerry and I tend to dominate the forum sometime but that's mainly because we like to hear ourselves talk!
 
bye bye

Subject: [EnergeticMedicine] Scenar:What Does IR Measure?

 
Jerry, G. and Others,
In Palm Desert, CA the patient’s skin is very dry.  In Diag 1, I
frequently get a "Nobody" with full skin contact which will take up to
12 minutes before giving a low IR of about 14.  My uniformed opinion is
that IR is only a measure of skin conductivity.  In using a Voll machine
by BioMeridian, we always used an atomizer to moisten the skin before
taking a reading.  I tried using the atomizer on the same area that read
"Nobody" and got immediate response of IR=85. Pleases comment on this
concept.  Thanks.

The IR measures impedance.  It is true that moisturizing the skin will change/increase the reading.  The important thing is that the readings are creating comparisons which help lead you to the spot that needs treatment.  If you moisturize the skin, it might lead you to the wrong site if the moisturizing process is spotty.  However, no readings aren’t’ helpful either.

 Perhaps you could evaluate mechanisms to improve this dilemma.  I am thinking that maybe a few minutes in the shower without soap might allow the skin to take up the moisture it needs wherever it needs it.  Then the Scenar session shortly after that might work as you want it to.  Any thoughts by anyone else?

 

There are at least 3 approaches in measuring the skin impedance, one is only moistening skin at the local spots (the humidifier were not restricted, whether it be N/S or tap water), the typical representation is ARDK, another is using distilled water washing away the mineral, salts and dust off the local area and also let the skin moisturized, the representation is the EAV device developed in the East, the other is direct measurement.  All of the methods try to create a constant condition at different measuring points.  When we interpret the data, all these and other factors should also be put into our mind to see the meaning behind the numbers.  They are not absolute numbers but statistics under different conditions.
The 1st approach has the drawback that the local water amount at different points affects its readings, so the results are sometimes not so reliable.  The consistency is better in line detection than point measurement.
 
I had a deep impression in Prof. Revenko's talk about "create dynamics", he provoked the patient with different questions (never repeat) but all point to the same problem.  Same scene happened at the moving of FM/VAR, the moving add another dynamic in addition to the changes of the pulse sequence.  When I did the painting of FM/VAR, it remind me of those "Bare foot doctors" or our grandparents doing the traditional Chinese cutaneous scraping therapy when we had a cold or heat stroke, and the phenomenon were somewhat alike, change of skin color, sometimes some waste can be seen and wiped out.
 
At first, my idea about SCENAR was that treat the most stressed area, subsequently other related issue will be flow up, and the manual suggested disease related different treating areas.  They are similar in some way with traditional Chinese 5 element theory.  For example, there are 8 types of hypertension.  Before, we had to sort out the type in advance in order to have satisfactory effects.  With the painting of the whole back, it looked like at the same time all the major and minor area received treatment and the effects are good.  A good traditional Chinese medical doctor not only recognize the etiologies of the current disease but also could see the incoming effects and treat them in advance.  In SCENAR, you could achieve the same results without having to know that much.
 
When Dr. Voll was still on this world, one of my professors had asked him whether there is any scientific evidence or methods that he find the relationship between different meridian point and internal structure (e.g. GV 12 and dopamine). He just smiled and not answered.  If there is anyone that knows, I would like to know, because the later findings on periorbital points by traditional Chinese doctor and ancient Chinese medical scripture are quite different from what Dr. Voll described.  I only know it worked well based on Chinese finding.  Although the meridian channels connect with each other.
