Bicom Bioresonance Testing & Therapy
- A biophysical technique based on concepts in acupuncture, homeopathy and quantum Physics.
- Living organism generate tiny electromagnetic fields which naturally regulate their biochemistry and that these can be used for drug-free and non-invasive therapy.
- In the device these oscillations are changed and then returned to the patient’s body in the form of healing therapy oscillations.
- The BICOM bioresonance therapy considerably strengthens your own defence and self-healing powers.
- BICOM device to test the 40 major meridian points on the hands and feet. These points are directly linked to specific organs and systems of the body. The information is then used to determine energy at a cellular level. Disease causing factors such as allergies, virus, bacteria, fungi, radiation and toxins can be tested in order to determine which substances are causing a strain on the body and contributing to poor health.
- BICOM instrument (Medical Device ARTG 138918) to pick up electromagnetic waves from the patient, modified them and sends them back to improve the body's ability to regulate its own physiological process, or use allergen's oscillation signal (frequency pattern) to cancel body's allergy reaction engram, thus eliminate or avoid the possible allergy reactions. The same principle is also used to remove viral stress, toxins to reduce total body load thus to activate body's own healing power and self regulating ability. It is highly effective, painless therapy with no harmful side effective.
Because the technique uses biophysics -the physics of the body - rather than biochemistry, there is no need for expensive drugs and nutritional supplements. The aim is to restore your body's ability to heal itself.

The biophysical concept
ALLERGY AS A PHENOMENON OF BIOPHYSICAL INFORMATION
Allergic reactions are also possible in response to non-material stimuli, i.e. to signals which only contain the physical information but not the particles of the substance itself.
This experimentally proven fact (C. SMITH) forces us to assume an additional biophysical information aspect in the phenomenon of "allergy" too! The following hypothesis has proved useful for gaining a better understanding of the relationships.
The presence of an "allergy engram" is necessary for allergic mechanisms to take place in the body. It arises as a biophysical imprinting on the basis of a hereditary predisposition through repeated contact with a substance which irritates the body in some way.
The substance concerned only becomes an allergen for this person as a result of the imprinting of the allergy engram.
Once the engram has been marked it is retained, and is inactive until such time as contact with the allergen takes place. It is activated by the specific information for which it is marked and then sets in movement the familiar biochemical immunological mechanisms through biophysical control impulses.
Typical features of an engram, in addition to its specific nature - it is imprinted solely for a given oscillatory information - are manipulability and extinguishability, in other words, it can be retrieved using appropriate information or techniques, amplified, attenuated or eliminated totally.
The "adequate information" for each allergy engram is exclusively the biophysical oscillatory pattern of the allergen. Using this specific signal, it is possible to "retrieve" the engram using appropriate methods, i.e. to confirm its presence (see bioresonance test) and also influence it therapeutically.
The biochemical immunological processes which now take place on the substantial level are conditional on activating the allergy engram. They set in train an ALLERGIC REACTION via the familiar mechanisms (formation of antibodies - mast cell sensitisation - release of histamine). By allergic reaction we understand the symptoms occurring directly in the body, such as irritation of the skin and mucous membranes, itching, oedema etc.
Ultimately, the whole body can be affected by a constant or frequent contact with the allergen. What starts as an allergic reaction develops into an ALLERGIC DISEASE, occurring more independently and displaying less and less of a link with the original allergen (examples are neurodermatitis and chronic bronchial asthma).

The location, intensity and time of the occurrence of allergic symptoms depend on various factors:
|
Symptoms of allergy depend on:
Genetic factors
Nature and quantity of antigens
Degree of sensitisation of the patient
Present situation of the body |
A hereditary predisposition is generally required for an allergy to develop. The "gift" for allergy is inherited, i.e. the ability to form allergy engrams, but not the nature of the allergy and the substance which triggers it.
The allergenic potency of triggering substances varies. There are aggressive allergens, i.e. substances which easily trigger sensitisation (e.g. grass pollen, cat hairs, strawberries etc.). Clinical pictures induced by these substances are accordingly frequent.
Allergic reactions can vary very much depending on the overall situation of the body. Any somatic stress (other ailments, focal stresses, toxic or geopathic stresses) can amplify them. Conditions of mental stress in the broadest sense are particularly significant.
Most allergic patients have particular "target organs" in which allergic reactions tend to be concentrated (in particular skin, bronchial system and intestinal mucosa).

ALLERGY
Classification according to practical aspects: |
|
Acute forms of allergy
Chronic (= "central") forms of allergy
Contact allergies
Pseudoallergies Schumacher 1991 |
Acute forms of allergy
The acute forms of allergy are the very domain of clinical allergology. They are generally accessible to diagnosis using substance tests (prick test, scratch test) and the relationships are mostly clear.
The acute forms of allergy include most inhalatory allergies, such as pollinosis, allergy to animal hairs, epithelia, house-dust mites, moulds, chemicals, fragrances etc. They also include the acute allergic reactions to ingestion of allergens (macular, papular, urticarial exanthema, oedematous reactions etc. after ingesting e.g. strawberries, peaches, medicines etc.).
|
ACUTE FORMS OF ALLERGY
Allergic reactions to substances to which sensitisation has taken place and which only temporarily or occasionally come into contact with the body, in any case not continuously.
SKIN: Acute allergic exanthema, urticaria, Quincke's oedema.
EYE and NOSE: Seasonal and perennial allergic conjunctivitis and rhinitis (pollinosis) BRONCHI: Spastic bronchitis, acute allergic bronchial asthma.
INTESTINES: Acute allergic gastritis, enteritis, colitis. |
Chronic (= "central") forms of allergy
These are not acute reactions to particular allergens, but allergies to substances which are ingested daily with the food or with which the body is in constant contact.
The chronic forms of allergy are largely unknown in medicine, because the mechanism of masking (although it was discovered almost 50 years ago by the American physician H. RINKEL) still is not part of the general body of medical knowledge.
CHRONIC (= "CENTRAL") FORMS OF ALLERGY
Arise in people who generally have a strong hereditary predisposition, often in early childhood, as a result of sensitisation to a basic foodstuff supplied frequently to the body, generally daily (milk, wheat) or to a substance which is constantly present in the body (Candida in chronic intestinal mycosis, mercury in patients who have amalgam fillings).
As a result of frequent or constant contact with the allergen, the symptoms are almost always masked, i.e. a direct relationship between symptoms and allergen is generally not identifiable.
|
MASKING of a food allergy
The symptoms caused by the allergen (e.g. of neurodermatitis) diminish or disappear if the patient ingests the same allergen again within a particular period (generally one to three days) |
As central allergies chiefly refer to habitual food, it is often not at all easy to convince the patient of the need for a strict allergen abstinence. However, if patients can be convinced, they will, after no more than four days' abstinence, witness for themselves the demasking of their allergy as soon as they make the slightest slip in their diet.
Contact allergy
Experiences in recent years has shown that a contact allergy is subject to its own laws and therefore also needs to be listed as a separate category when discussing biophysical approaches to allergy.
Reactions that only develop after 12 or more hours ("allergies of the delayed type") are defined as "type IV" in the classification introduced by COOMBS and GELL in 1963.
However, the essential difference between this form of allergy and others is evidently not the time of reaction but the fundamental immunological mechanism proceeding only at the cellular level with this form of allergy. (Sensitised T-lymphocytes when being in contact with the allergen release via „antigen-presenting cells = APC active substances known as „lymphokines“, which trigger inflammatory reactions, partly through macrophage activation). There is no evidence of antibodies circulating in the blood and in our experience no physical allergy engram seems to be formed. These kinds of allergy, however, often respond differently when biophysical methods are applied.
The classical manifestation of cellular hypersensitivity is the allergic contact eczema. The most common triggers are metals (such as nickel, chromium, cobalt), rubber adjuvants, cosmetics, disinfectants, preservatives and drugs in medical preparations for external application as well as vegetable substances, in each case on direct contact with the skin.
In addition to the exogenous allergic forms, in which sensitisation and triggering take place through epicutaneous contact, there are evidently also endogenous forms of this type of allergy, where either sensitisation or triggering take place due to systemic antigen contact.
Mixed forms of type I allergies occur and seem to be more common than was previously thought. Particularly in atopic patients (= substantial genetic predisposition plus one or more allergies of type I), there are sometimes type IV components which can lead to considerable confusion in doctors and patients if they are not identified and interpreted as such. They only become identifiable if contact reactions persist after a successful allergy therapy. For instance a patient being allergic to cats who has lost his asthma after treatment, still suffers from an itching skin when having an intensive skin contact with the cat.
The contact components in food allergies (although rare) are particularly interesting. We know from several patients with milk neurodermatitis, in whom the neurodermatitis disappeared completely after a milk abstinence and therapy but in whom swelling and reddening to the extent of a Quincke’s oedema occurred on contact of undiluted milk with the skin and mucous membrane. A similar situation can be observed with egg-white allergies. Although the patients tolerate all food containing eggs in a processed form after the therapy has been carried out, massive allergic skin or mucosal reactions occur on contact with unprocessed eggs.
Pseudoallergy
Genuine allergy is a qualitative phenomenon, i.e. the allergic reaction is triggered by contact even with a tiny amount, and in some circumstances even by the non-material oscillatory information of the allergen.
The pseudoallergic reaction is a quantitative phenomenon, i.e. the reaction generally does not occur until a certain quantity of the triggering substance is reached. It relates particularly often to chemical food additives which - as they are permitted by law - are often added to food in unbelievable quantities.
The following is of decisive importance for the occurrence of pseudoallergic reactions:
1. The patient’s individual sensitivity
2. The total quantity of the substance, which is often supplied with quite different food and
in different chemical compositions at the same time (e.g. azo dyes, benzoates, phosphates, PHB esters etc.)
The transitions to allergy in the proper sense are very smooth, as a great many food additives can trigger genuine allergic reactions. However, these show clearly the characteristic features of the qualitative reaction, i.e. they are triggered independently of the quantity.
Therapy using biophysical methods is also appropriate and effective in the case of Pseudoallergies.
Some Concept of Clinical Ecology acccordong to Dr. Keith Mumby
Hypersensitivity (a heightened state of extreme sensitivity) is another word you will hear applied to allergy. There are four distinct types of hypersensitivity: Types I to IV. These divisions are useful for discussion but may not necessarily occur as single entities in an individual.
There is good evidence that Types I and III hypersensitivity can cause food-allergic symptoms, and some evidence that Type III mechanisms can be associated with gut disorders such as colitis. However, it is vital for doctors to appreciate that reactions to food and environmental substances may occur, proven empirically, without any of these mechanisms appearing to be invoked.
TYPE I HYPERSENSITIVITY
Type I reactions are basically antigen-antibody reactions. This is what is usually meant by a classic allergic reaction. Mast cells release chemical mediators such as histamine, bradykinin, anaphylotxin, slow-reacting substance-S and others. This gives rise to severe local inflammation, which may cause bronchospasm (asthma), sneezing (rhinitis), urticaria (or other skin rashes) or diarrhoea and vomiting if the gut is the target organ.
The occurrence of Type I reactions to foods is undisputed. Typical offenders are milk, eggs, fish and nuts, though any food can do it. Reactions normally occur shortly after food ingestion and are usually associated with positive skin prick tests and generally a positive radio allergosorbent test (RAST) to the relevant food. Type I reactions are more common in children and have a tendency to disappear as the patient gets older. Reactions to insect bites and stings are Type I in nature and can be fatal, if severe, though this is rare.
TYPE II HYPERSENSITIVITY (CYTOTOXIC)
This type of reaction occurs when an antibody is directed against a cell-surface or tissue antigen. Complement activation leads to the generation of inflammatory mediators, with resulting tissue damage. Cytotoxic tests probably rely on this process.
Diseases caused by Type II hypersensitivity include certain haemolytic (cell-destroying) anaemias, purpura (bruising) and systemic lupus erythematosus; it is also usually to blame in incompatible blood transfusions. The infamous Minamata disease (mercury poisoning) was of this type.
Diagnosis is done by detecting serum antibodies. Raised levels of circulating serum anti-bodies are seen in many cases of bowel disorder thought to be due to food sensitivities but, unfortunately, they are also seen in healthy individuals and their role in food allergy seems confusing and unclear.
TYPE III HYPERSENSITIVITY
Type III reactions result from the deposition of antigen/antibody complexes in the tissues. These complexes are commonly produced after eating, and indeed would be expected. Normally they are removed by the reticulo-endothelial system. But if the formation of immune complexes is excessive, the quality of the complex is abnormal or the reticulo-endothelial function is impaired, then this normal process is unworkable and disease results.
Tissue damage occurs as a result of the inflammation surrounding these abnormal deposits. Rheumatoid arthritis is an example deposits. Rheumatoid arthritis is an example of a Type III process, systemic lupus another. These are all types of auto-immune (self-damaging) diseases.
TYPE IV HYPERSENSITIVITY
This is often called the delayed hyper-sensitivity reaction, so-named because of the fact that in skin testing the reaction may not show up for 12 to 48 hours. Antibodies are not involved. Contact dermatitis is one clinical condition caused by this process.
Conventional allergists say this reaction has little to do with food allergy. Clinical ecologists disagree: it quite commonly causes food allergy. Many patients react late after challenge testing. The reason the patients’ reactions are considered irrelevant is that most doctors do not see them (the patients have gone home) and, since some doctors are not in the habit of listening to information from their patients, they miss it!
Hidden and Masked Allergy
One of the dividing principles between conventional allergy and clinical ecology is the concept of the hidden or ‘masked’ allergy. Conventional allergists and immunologists don’t recognize the existence of the phenomenon. Clinical ecologists use their understanding of it all the time to treat many patients and many diseases.
Basically, a hidden allergy means that a substance is capable of making a person ill but that constant exposure to it (as with a frequently eaten food) mutes the person’s reaction to it. A so-called masked allergy is a variant of this, whereby exposure to the substance temporarily diminishes or ‘masks’ the symptoms. Both phenomena make diagnosis very difficult.
The symptoms of a hidden allergy can be protean, bizarre, changeable and paradoxical.
- Protean: the foremost characteristic of an illness caused by a masked allergy is the incredible variation in the pattern of a patient’s symptoms. Naturally, this constantly endangers his or her credibility, especially in the eyes of doctors.
- Bizarre: symptoms are peculiar because a twisting of the patient’s perception is a prime ingredient of this form of illness. Often the complaint bears no relationship to anatomical structures. Symptoms are unique to the individual and defy description in ordinary terms: individuals speak of ‘cobwebs over the face’, ‘legs full of boiling water’, ‘a feeling of floating outside the body’, etc.
- Changeable: symptoms come and go without apparent reason and move from one body system to another, causing, for example eczema, then asthma, migraine, spastic colon, etc. Naturally, this constantly endangers his or her credibility, especially in the eyes of doctors.
- Paradoxical: these are illnesses full of contradiction: lethargy that swings in and out of hyper-activity, anorexia with bouts of bingeing, tachycardia (fast heart) alternating with pseudo-heart block, feeling miserably cold or tormented by heat.
From this, you may deduce a hidden allergy is a complex and mysterious phenomenon. No wonder recognition was so long in coming. In fact the first person to uncover the hidden allergy effect was Dr Herbert Rinkel, one of the founders of clinical ecology. It was by observing his own responses that led him to postulate the mechanism of ‘masking’ .
What we have learned since is that while there is food residue in the bowel, there may be no reaction. If we eat a food every day or several times a week, it means there is always some of that substance on-board. This may help to hide the allergic reaction: since there is already some present, eating more of it may have little or no immediate effect. That is why you must allow a five-day (minimum) cleansing period on an exclusion program, before you begin testing and re-introducing foods. This residue effect also explains why allergies to everyday foods has gone unnoticed for so long.
The body seems to get accustomed to an allergen, in a sickly sort of way. Only when too much is encountered at one time do symptoms break through. This also seems to happen when the body’s resistance is lowered temporarily, such as due to stress or acute illness. Age can have the same effect, so that an allergen that may have been harbored unwittingly for decades gradually comes to the surface.
The crucial key to this bewildering variability of symptoms is another revolutionary clinical ecology concept.
Cyclical and Fixed Allergies
Not all allergies are constant and predictable. Many appear to come and go. The key to this shifting pattern is the concept of ‘cyclical’ and ‘fixed’ allergies.
Fixed allergies, as the name implies, never really change. Once acquired, they are with one for life. In general fixed allergies are severe. Allergies to insect stings, strawberries and shellfish tend to be of this type. These are usually immunollogically-induced allergies and, in accordance with our present understanding at any rate, there is no reason to expect them to alter.
Cyclical allergies, on the other hand, vary considerably in the severity of reactions they produce. The more often the allergen is encountered, the worse the reaction becomes. Conversely, if the allergen is avoided for a long period, the reaction tends to dampen down.
The actual period of avoidance varies a great deal. In some cases as little as a few days may result in loss of response to a single mild dose. Other people may have to avoid the allergen for many months. The majority of allergens lie somewhere in between.
The cyclical effect is of great importance when it comes to allergy food challenge testing. The optimum interval between avoidance and testing for a food is five to ten days. Five days are needed for unmasking (see hidden allergy from the mechanisms of allergy page) but, beyond that time, the sooner the tests are carried out the better. After ten days certain allergens may begin to lose their effect and so be missed on a single challenge feed. As a result the patient may consider a food safe, eat it frequently and suffer baffling exacerbation symptoms.
This cyclical nature of allergens means that it is not usually necessary to avoid an allergen for life or, indeed, for more than a few months at a time, before trying it again. However, the patient must understand that returning to a frequent intake of the allergen will not work – it will just make the symptoms start up all over again. A hostile food will always have to be treated with some caution.
Rotation dieting is an attempt to prevent the build-up of cyclical allergies. By eating foods in line with a careful timetable, say every four days, it is usually possible to maintain the safe character of a food. Remember also, a food eaten below its ‘threshold dose’ will appear not to cause a reaction.
Body Load
Let us now introduce one of the most important of all healing principles, if not the most important, is that of total body load. It is the key to all recoveries and overcoming all disease processes. No doctor really cures anything; Nature does that. All the successful physician can do is to reduce body load to allow this process to take place. Unfortunately, modern medicine with its pharmacology arsenal often adds to the biological burden instead of relieving it.
Along with all living creatures we are endowed with a number of key regulatory mechanisms. One can only be amazed that they rarely seem to break down, rather than being surprised and disconcerted when they do. The skin protects us from temperature variation and dehydration, the immune system wards off micro-organisms, the kidneys eliminate poison waste, the liver detoxifies an ever-increasing amount of xenobiotic chemicals and other factors regulate the acid-base balance within the body.
Every day, every minute, trouble is nipped in the bud before it gets started and we remain unaware of what is taking place: we feel OK. It is only when the defences are overworked that we actually experience any health problems at all. By the time we are aware of a symptom, any symptom, the defences have already broken down and matters are really quite serious.
Overload
Overloading the system is thus asking for trouble.
The commonly used metaphor image for the overload phenomenon is that of the overflowing barrel. If we imagine the barrel to be the body’s ability to cope with exterior stressors and the moment of overflow to be the onset of symptoms, then it is obvious that anything which adds to the liquid in the barrel will potentially precipitate disease.
The actual overload process isn’t specific. Any one of a number of aetiological factors could cause it to occur, such as an allergy, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, a sudden shock, overwork, stress or an acute viral episode. It may seem superfluous to point out that several of these factors can work in combination, bringing an almost infinite diversity of symptom and disease possibilities. Mental breakdown, heart disease, ulcers and cancer are just some of the possibilities. There are many ways to overload – the table below summarizes most of these. A mere glance will tell you that this list is also a summary of clinical ecology to date.

PHYSICAL FACTORS |
Heat Cold Electromagnetic radiation Mercury toxicity Oxidative stress |
|
CHEMICAL FACTORS
|
Pollution Alcohol Recreational drugs Medicines |
|
BIOLOGICAL FACTORS |
Micro-organisms (virus, bacteria, parasites) Endocrine dysfunction Allergy Nutritional deficiency Fatigue |
|
PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS |
Stress Work load Personality disorder |
A word of warning: Much confusion can result from the fact that the last overload factor introduced may seem to be the (only) one which causes symptoms. This is very misleading. One stressor alone is unlikely to overwhelm the body’s considerable defense resources. It is a cumulative thing: so an individual may be living an entirely unhealthy lifestyle, eating and drinking stress foods, not taking adequate rest, feels disoriented and depressed due to brain allergies and then, when made redundant at work, suddenly “flips” as people say and guns down a bunch of innocent people in the neighborhood. Much may be made in court of this person’s unhappy reaction to the fact that his wife just walked out. But it is not the cause of the violent outburst, it is the last overload factor to operate against this person’s ability to balance and cope with life. Other factors may have been operative for years: unhappy childhood, financial stresses, poor diet, hypoglycaemia, wheat allergy that makes him feel aggressive, lack of magnesium (which soothes and calms), a smoldering virus which makes him feel ill most days, and toxic chemical overload that spaces him out, like a Mickey Finn. Looked at in this light, mental rage is only one aspect of a much greater situation of compounded overload.
Reducing The Load
The opposite side of the equation works just as effectively and can be turned to good use by a physician. Any legitimate means of reducing body load helps, directly or indirectly, with any illness: better nutrition will aid the fight against cancer; clearing up hidden infections such as Candida will reduce PMT; eliminating hairsprays and perfumes may improve catarrh (even though dust may be the main cause); stopping smoking aids fertility and moving away from geopathic stress will help alleviate almost any disease process. Eating fewer stress foods definitely helps. Stress foods include allergy and intolerance foods, refined carbohydrates and food additives (chemical burden).
Now you may understand why you can eat a food you are normally allergic to while on holiday (where your mental stress and, probably, the amount of chemical pollution is far less) with no ill effects but why, when you are upset, all your food cravings return with a vengeance!
If you understand overload and work to avoid it, this very important principle will serve you well. I believe emphatically in Hippocrates’ key holistic health principle: that we must all take responsibility for our own health and strive to maintain balance, avoiding the risk of overload.
How many people ever think of going on a diet to combat hay-fever? The logic is simple: if you eliminate any food allergies, the body is better able to cope with inhaled allergies. This is particularly true for cereal foods we eat such as wheat, corn, rye etc., and those with allergies to grasses (hence "hay" fever) are especially helped. But avoiding milk, food additives, tea, coffee and alcohol can also have a remarkably beneficial effect. It isn't a sure-fire cure, but it is certainly worth a try and anything is better than feeling utterly wretched just when everyone else is having all the fun.
Try the simple elimination diet at a time when the pollen count is high. Even if you don't clear the symptoms, you may reduce your need for medication quite considerably. Don't forget to follow up the diet with challenge tests, if it works. Find the real culprits.
Target Organs
The allergy-aware doctor today thinks in terms of target or ‘shock’ organs. The concept is really very simple: some part of the body, or a particular organ (for reasons which are not clear) receives more of an allergic reaction than the rest.
Whatever the environmental stressor, whether it is a food, a chemical, a hidden infection or some other insult to the tissues, the symptoms appear at the weak point and are ‘referred’ to this organ, regardless of the actual trigger. Thus you may also hear the term "end-organ failure". The symptoms experienced will depend largely on the function of this organ and whether it is excited (stirred up) or depressed (slowed down).
