Abstract :
Allopathic medical diagnostic divides the human body into physiological and organ systems and analyzes the condition of these systems individually based on their anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and pathology. However, without analysis of intricate signals between these systems, it is difficult to provide a deeper insight of a patient´s health, therefore reliable detection of diseases. This purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the possibilities of providing holistic medical screening through measurement of bioenergy fields which have both biophysical and biophysic bearings
