Regenesis, as a healing technique, was developed by Robert Rasmussen of

Santa Cruz, California. Mr. Rasmussen, a mechanical engineer, came upon the

energy through intuition. He was visiting his secretary, whose daughter

suffered from severe genu varum, when he had a strong feeling that if he

touched the outside of her knees, something would happen. It did. Most

startlingly, her bowed legs slowly came together. As word spread of this

remarkable

ability, Mr. Rasmussen discovered that, once he was presented with a

particular disease or injury, he would within a short time encounter a number of

other closely related cases. He used these opportunities to explore the most

effective access point for applying the energy. This system, as well as a

technique for gaining access to the energy and applying it, is communicable

by normal teaching methods.

 

 

Though Eastern philosophies had been conversant with such energy systems

for thousands of years, and had even developed energy " anatomies, " at the

time of Mr. Rasmussen's discovery, there was no scientific underpinning for

any sort of explanation as to what this energy was or how it worked. That it

was inherent in biological systems was obvious - it worked on plants and

animals, as well as human beings.

 

 

When Dr. Robert O. Becker published his research(1) into the electrical

potentials at the surgical stump of a salamander's leg, which would

regenerate, as compared to that of a frog, which did not, Robert Rasmussen took

note. This difference, Dr. Becker discovered, was purely in polarity. The frog

stump had a positive potential that gradually reduced to zero as the stump

healed, and the salamander had a negative potential, which also reduced to

zero - but as the leg regenerated. Furthermore, Dr. Becker discovered that

if he applied a mild electric current with a negative potential to the

freshly severed stump of a frog's leg, the frog, too, regenerated a whole new

limb.

 

 

Robert Rasmussen had himself tested, and it was found that the exertion of

the healing energy, whatever it was, created a secondary electrical field-

a field with negative potential - identical to that occurring naturally at

the stump of a salamander's leg. Thus, some decades after Mr. Rasmussen

began his work, the term " Regenesis " was coined by a group of his students.

 

 

Obviously, the presence of a negative potential is itself insufficient to

convey the type of complex information required for regeneration of a

severed limb. Although all the information for any organism exists within the

DNA itself in terms of function, how do the individual cells know what to

re-differentiate into? How do they know, spatially, where to go? The phenomenon

is similar to the blastula stage of an embryo. We know it happens -

chemical messengers seem to be secreted in sequence, a polarity forms, and

newly

differentiated cells go where they are supposed to - but we don't know how.

 

 

To begin to gather some idea of what might be happening, we need to

venture into the realm of the Tiller-Einstein model of the universe and into

Kirlian photography.

 

 

Currently, the medical model of the human body is that of an intricate

machine that is controlled by the brain and the peripheral nervous system. In

the Einsteinian paradigm, matter and energy are dual expression of the same

universal " substance, " and human beings are networks of complex energy

fields that interface with highly condensed energy, or physical matter, which

makes up cellular systems. When applied to vibrational medicine, such as

acupuncture, this paradigm suggests that healing is a matter of correcting

imbalances in the energy system that may be underlying physical disease. These

energy systems, however, are not part of the Newtonian universe, or they

would have long since been described through normal scientific

investigation.

 

 

To date, because of the exponential relationship between kinetic energy

and velocity (the Einstein-Lorentz Transformation, which says that as

velocity approaches the speed of light, mass, or inertia, increases to approach

infinity), most researchers have taken the speed of light to be the ultimate

limitation. If speeds greater than light are inserted into the formula,

numbers such as the square root of -1, an imaginary number, are encountered.

The use of such numbers, however, is already considered normal and necessary

in the solution of some electromagnetic and quantum equations. If one then

takes a leap of faith and ascribes reality to these numbers, a remarkable

thing happens - a mathematical mirror image of the Newtonian universe, or

negative space/time universe appears. In this universe, everything is

reversed. Rather than gaining, particles lose mass as they accelerate, and

entropy

decreases over time.

 

 

In the Newtonian universe, the tendency is always towards entropy -

disorder, decay, and chaos. One notable exception to this is life. Living

organisms take in raw, disorganized materials and build them into organized

systems - negative entropy - giving way to entropy only after the organism has

been exposed to time in the Newtonian universe.

 

 

Is life, then, particularly developing life, somehow connected to the

universe of negative space/time and the energies that may be found there?

Kirlian photography is a good tool to further look into this possibility.

 

 

To produce a Kirlian photograph (also known as an electrograph), a

high-frequency power source is connected to an electrode beneath a sheet of

film,

creating an electrical field of high potential that bathes the film. When a

grounded object is placed on the film in complete darkness, the electron

trails created by electrons flowing from the charged plate to the grounded

object create an image. Just as an MRI produces diagnostically valuable

results only when the frequency of the apparatus is set to resonate with

hydrogen, the discharge corona produced by a Kirlian photograph is significant

only when the frequencies of the power source resonate with the negative

space/time frequencies involved in biological system.

 

 

Understanding this seems to be the key in replicability of Kirlian

photograph experiments, such as the " phantom leaf. " If a piece of a leaf is

removed and the remaining leaf is grounded and placed on a Kirlian plate, the

resulting image is still that of the entire leaf. What is more, if the vein

side of the leaf is placed against the plate, the image of the missing portion

is of the veined side of the leaf. If the pore side is photographed, it is

the pore side of the missing portion that produces an image. This would be

equivalent to slicing off the upper fingers of a hand and taking

electrographs of the front and back of the hand. One electrograph would show

phantom

fingerprints, and the other would show phantom fingernails. The spatial

and organizational properties of such a biological energy field would seem to

be holographic in nature (2). This supposition is further evidenced if the

missing piece of the leaf is a circle removed from the center. The

resulting electrograph reveals a leaf with the circle, which contains an image

of

the entire leaf with a circular hole in the center containing a tinier leaf.

 

 

Dr. Harold Burr discovered that, in plant seedlings, the contour of the

electrical field surrounding the new sprouts followed the shape of the adult

plant. Taken together with the results from Kirlian photography

experiments, we might now surmise that there is indeed some sort of holographic

energy

field that provides guidance and spatial orientation to the rapidly

developing tissues and organs of an embryo - an energy field template(3). This

energy field is often referred to in vibrational healing as the " etheric

body. "

 

 

As an experiment, Robert Rasmussen exposed his fingertip to a Kirlian

plate set to resonate with the harmonic of an etheric body while he exerted the

Regenesis energy. From this, an image was produced of a bright blue corona

of exceptional brilliance, definition and width. This strongly suggests

that Regenesis does indeed operate by affecting the etheric body, the energy

template for the physical body. Mr. Rasmussen has postulated that the

Regenesis energy 1) restores to normal any distortion in the etheric body

and/or

2) causes it to temporarily revert to its embryonic function and intensity

of activity.

 

 

The mechanism whereby this would cause effects such as nearly

instantaneous resolution of genu varum is quite unknown, but I have myself felt

the

movement of bone and joints in cases of misaligned TMJs, exaggerated lordosis,

mild scoliosis, and fractures. Other effects, given the postulated etheric

body and its function, are more consistent with current knowledge and

models. These would be slowly appearing remissions, over a period of treatment,

for chronic conditions such as hepatitis C, and the slow regression of

tumors with no other modality than Regenesis.

 

 

The treatments consist of the practitioner arousing the Regenesis energy

internally, then focusing it through hand positions and a breathing

technique similar to prahna yoga. Treatments may take seconds, as noted above,

to

months of weekly one-hour sessions. No practitioner can make promises to a

client regarding any condition. While the vast majority of clients receive

at least partial relief of a particular condition, some individuals seem

able to block the energy on a subconscious level. Others may receive good

results for one condition, but find no benefit for another, though the same

condition may be quite amenable in yet another client. The variables here are

not well understood, but seem to depend a great deal on the individual.

 

 

In my own practice I have found that many conditions, such as sciatica and

migraine, are occasionally relieved completely after one session but more

often recur after a few days. Subsequent treatments provide longer periods

of relief, until a point is reached at which pain does not return.

Vertebral subluxations, even of long-standing and with a history of resistance

to

chiropractic treatment, usually respond completely with a single treatment.

Pain from whiplash injuries is almost always reduced after a single

treatment, but multiple treatments are usually necessary for complete relief.

 

 

I have also had very positive results working with two clients who had

become painfully bedridden with fibromyalgia. Significant relief was obtained

with the first treatment, and a full return to normal lifestyle was

obtained after six treatments in one case and eight in the other. It was

subsequently discovered, however, that continued remission is dependent on

regular

follow-up treatments.

 

 

One of the fibromyalgia clients also had a mild scoliosis that, according

to her, had been present since infancy. This was corrected using Regenesis

in a single 45-minute treatment. Over the next several weeks, the condition

recurred to a lesser extent twice, and twice was realigned with short

treatments. Radiographs subsequent to an automobile accident two years later

revealed the reduction still to be almost complete.

 

 

Two final examples, given here to illustrate the range of possibility for

Regenesis, are from current cases. In one, a tumor diagnosed as a primary

mesothelioma on CAT scans prompted the client's thoracic surgeon to press

for immediate lung surgery. After two months of Regenesis as the only

treatment, the client had returned to full activity and feeling of health and

well-being. The tumor had ceased growing and even regressed to where surgery was

no longer under consideration and no further diagnostic evaluation is

being recommended until June of 1998.

 

 

In the other, a middle-aged woman arrived for her first treatment for

cancer from a primary malignant thymoma that had extensively metastasized to

her pleural cavity and to her pericardium. She had undergone several

surgeries and aggressive chemotherapy. Her treatment, at the time she came to

me,

was entirely palliative, and she had been advised to seek assistance from

Hospice. She walked with a halting gait, was dependent on oxygen 24 hours a

day, and was coughing profusely from fluid in her lungs and her pericardial

sac, for which she received surgical treatment three weeks before. When she

arrived for her second Regenesis session, she stated that she had not used

the oxygen except for two brief periods and at half the previous flow, she

was sleeping better, and for the last two days had found herself

spontaneously laughing and singing. As of this writing, she is due for her

third

treatment two days hence; I am very much looking forward to continuing

treatments with this remarkable woman.

 

 

In summary, though the energy used in Regenesis has yet to be subjected to

scientific study, it has been empirically observed to produce

significantly consistent and beneficial results for both acute and chronic

conditions,

some considered to be extremely resistant to remission, and to do so with

the only known side effects being stress relief and inducement of a

temporary but profound alpha state.

Follow up notes:

Five years after composition of this paper, the client with the

mesothelioma is still fully active and feeling healthy. While the tumor remains

present, it has neither grown nor metastasized. The woman with the primary

thymoma regained her former muscle mass, sense of health and well-being, and

active lifestyle. She subsequently moved to the Midwest to live with her

family.
