I realize that some followers of Classical Newtonian Physics may feel a little uncomfortable with the concept of dowsing. The problem is, however, that not all spheres of existence can be confined to current scientific methods of investigation. It is a paradox that rejection without proof is fundamental to Western classical science, whilst acceptance without proof is fundamental to Western religion. Proof only ever proves that we are playing by the present rules and these rules have been in existence for over 300 years. The way forward is to replace the word ‘proof’ or ‘true’ with the word ‘useful’; physics and religion then appears in its proper place.

How near can we get to an acceptable explanation?
It is known that there are 92 elements, which make up all matter in the universe. Each of these elements has their own unique vibratory pattern as can be seen in a spectroscopic image. As we are also made up of most of these elements we are able to selectively ‘tune’ in to these vibratory patterns the same as we are able to tune into our favourite radio programs. A dowser, by means of training or being naturally more sensitive to nature's vibratory patterns then others, simply uses his 'consciousness' as an instrument to tune in to the frequency of the substance or energy being investigated. This dowsing (radiesthesist) faculty in man appears to be the same used by homing pigeons, dogs, whales, and even moths in finding their way home or finding a mate. In fact, an examination of the antenna of insects reveals that one antenna is negative and the other positive and that they are used for frequency wave selection within the insects environment. We don't have antenna but a finely balanced dowsing rod will amplify the neuro-muscular reflex reaction of the body's sympathic and parasympathetic nervous system as a conscious link to that particular frequency being sensed.

The Way Forward
Marco Bischof of the International Institute of Biophysics Science and Medicine Berlin recently stated, "Due to recent advances in several disciplines the basic features of a holistic biophysics are now emerging that will be based on the intrinsic holism of quantum theory which must include "consciousness". This is a result of a growing dissatisfaction with the reductionism approach of Newtonian Classical Physics. The main point of contention being that it concerns a description of reality by use of isolated independent elementary systems such as quarks, electrons and atoms which is only permissible under certain experimental conditions. These entities alone cannot in any way be considered as fundamental building blocks of reality. The phenomena of dowsing/biolocation using "consciousness" as an instrument of detection can therefore be better understood within this new and emerging holistic approach to health and the causes of ill health at a level of reality where interconnectedness rather than separateness dominates. Medicine and the prevention of disease is moving into a new era where Geobiology and the detection of Geopathic energies by dowsing/biolocation as well as the use of scientific instrumentation is becoming increasingly acceptable.
