Frequently asked questions about Geopathic Stress
What is Geopathic Stress?
The term Geopathic Stress refers to the adverse effects on health of electro-magnetic radiation coming from the earth . Scientific research, carried out mainly in Germany,has shown that some peoples' health is affected in a detrimental way by electromagnetic radiation coming from the earth itself where they live.
The most usual cause of geopathic stress is underground water, usually
an underground stream, flowing beneath a house. The water rapidly flowing through rock gives rise to an electrical field which can affect the health of those living above it.
 Geopathic stress can also arise from a geological fault line, that is, a deep crack in the bedrock which allows radiation from deep within the earth to come up to the surface. This too can affect the health of those living above a fault line.
Are there other types of Geopathic stress?
Yes. These are due to the fact that the magnetic field of the earth is non-uniform. In other words, it is stronger in some places than it is in others. If the strength of the earth's magnetic field is measured on the ground using instruments such as magnetometers, it is found that it forms lines of force. These lines of force form a rectangular grid. This looks very similar to the lines of latitude and longitude on a map. This grid of lines of magnetic force is called the Hartmann Net.
If one is living in a house situated where the lines of force of the Hartmann Net cross each other, this may give rise to Geopathic Stress.
Measurements of the Earth's magnetic field show also that there is also a second grid system laid over the top of the Hartmann Net. This is known as the Curry Grid. Here the lines of force meet at an angle giving rise to a diamond shaped pattern looking rather like the pattern of an old-fashioned leaded window.
The Curry grid seems to give rise to more geopathic stress than does the Hartmann Net. Both can interact with each other and with stress coming from underground water and fault lines.
Of all the types of Geopathic Stress, that caused by underground water and fault lines is the most important.
Why is Geopathic Stress important and what effects does it have?
Geopathic Stress can adversely affect the health of those whose houses are affected by it and it can be one of the many causes of chronic ill health. Fortunately its effects can be removed or neutralised (this will be discussed below).
Geopathic Stress was first discovered by German doctors in the 1920s who were investigating cancer clusters. They were trying to find out why certain villages and streets in Germany had an unusually high incidence of cancer among those people living in them. They looked at all sorts of different factors without finding the answer. Finally, with typical German thoroughness, they looked at geology and found that the areas where there was lots of cancer all lay on geological fault lines.This led to the discovery of geopathic stress.
As geopathic stress is associated with an increased incidence of cancer it is something that needs to be taken very seriously indeed. However this does not mean that everyone who is geopathically stressed will get cancer. It is only one of many factors which predispose to this disease.
In my own practice I find that the main effect of Geopathic Stress is that it stops patients getting completely better. It appears to block the action of virtually any type of therapy. When patients tell me that they have already seen two homoeopaths, an acupuncturist, and three Harley Street consultants, none of whom could get them better I find that they are usually suffering from Geopathic stress. I suspect that Geopathic Stress is the only reason for natural remedies to fail. If a patient does not respond to correctly administered remedies and assuming that the disease is potentially treatable one usually finds that they are suffering from Geopathic Stress.
The reason for this appears to be that it continually disrupts the body's electrical field and its electrical control systems.
How can I tell whether I am affected by Geopathic Stress?
There are a number of pointers which may suggest the presence of Geopathic Stress by its effect on both people and buildings.
The following clues may suggest that a person is affected by Geopathic Stress:-
1. They have a serious illness such as cancer, M.E., or multiple sclerosis.
2. They have any illness which does not clear up despite good treatment.
3. They have tried a number of different therapies without success.
4. They feel better when away from home. For instance, a condition may clear up or improve when away on holiday only to come back again when they get back home.
5. They became ill shortly after moving house.
6. They live in a house which has never "felt right" or they instinctively dislike it.
7. They wake up feeling unrefreshed or feel worse in the mornings.This is because people are often affected by Geopathic Stress in bed as the body's resistance to it drops to a third of normal during sleep.
There are other pointers which may suggest that a particular house is affected. These are:-
1. There may be problems with mould in the house.
2. There is a lot of lichen or moss growing on the roof, walls, or lawn as geopathic stress encourages the growth of these.
3. There may be problems with ants, wasps or bees. (Most animals avoid geopathic stress. Those that avoid it include dogs, cows and horses. Some are attracted to it, these include ants, wasps, bees and, oddly enough, cats).
4. The presence of cracks in walls ,driveways, paving stones, kerbstones and roads.These may indicate the presence of a geological faultline.
5. The presence of trees with cancer (i.e. large knobbly growths on the trunk) or trees whose trunks have split into two.
6. Gaps in hedges.These may indicate the position of a line of geopathic stress crossing the hedge.
7.Close neighbours may also be in poor health.
8.The presence nearby of springs and wells.
9. Previous occupants of the house have also been ill
Geopathic stress is more frequent where the water table is high such as around estuaries.It is common near oil fields and areas of seismic or volcanic activity.
Can Geopathic stress be detected by machines?
The answer is yes and no. Some types can be readily detected and others are hard to detect.
There are two types of machines which can detect it. There are those which can detect its presence in people and those which can detect it on the ground. It may still be very difficult to detect even with very sophisticated equipment.
Devices which measure the electrical resistance of acupuncture points can detect its effects in people.These devices are known as ELECTRO-DERMAL SCREENING devices. (See the article on GERMAN BIOLGICAL MEDICINE elsewhere on this website)
Note for health professionals and therapists-(the general reader may prefer to skip this paragraph and the next.) Not all electro-dermal devices are equally effective in detecting geopathic stress. I have used a number of different devices to detect geopathic stress and in my experience the most sensitive are the Autonomic Resonance Test, or ART, made by the German company Med-Tronik, and the DFM machine made by the Vega company who are also in Germany. Kirlian photography is also good at detecting it especially the computerised KIRLIONIC system made by Professor Korotkov of St.Petersburg in Russia. Some of the earlier electro-dermal devices may fail to detect it all. As a general rule of thumb, if a patient is not getting better on appropriate treatment, it is wise to assume that they are geopathically stressed, whether you can detect it or not.
I also find that geopathic stress is easier to detect if , before electro-dermal screening, you give the patient a few minutes of bio-resonance treatment using a device such as MORA, BICOM, VEGASELECT or other bio-resonance machine. This brings deep or latent problems closer to the surface and makes geopathic stress easier to find.
Other methods may detect the presence of geopathic stress on the ground. Some of it may be detected by geo-magnetometers which can measure local magnetic fields, however they may not detect all types of geopathic stress.
The reason for this is that some geopathic stress consists of such extremely high frequency radiation that it is out of range of ordinary meters.(The frequencies involved are 10 to the power of 23 Hertz and above. In other words the number of cycles per second can be written as the number 10 followed by 23 noughts!) There exist in Germany prototype meters which can detect this frequency of radiation. However they are extremely expensive and at present are still experimental.
Dowsers and water deviners can also detect geopathic stress. This is a subjective method in as much as different dowsers may tune into different frequencies of radiation and so may come up with different results. However this can still prove an extremely useful method of detecting geopathic stress, especially in the absence of readily available and accurate meters.
How common is geopathic stress?
In my practice in Southern England I find that around 30 % of patients are geopathically stressed. It seems to vary to some extent from one part of the country to another. It also varies from one country to another. For instance it seems to be fairly common in Northern Australia
where there is a lot of underground water which supplies artesian wells.
If geopathic stress is natural why is it dangerous and why have we not become immune to it?
Although geopathic stress appears to have a natural origin in that it comes from the earth a lot of it is nonetheless man-made.
According to the German scientist and expert on geopathic stress, Dr Kohfink, there has been a huge increase in geopathic stress since the end of the Second World War. The reason for this , he says, is the Nuclear Weapons Testing programme, in particular the underground nuclear tests.
He states that these have caused splits in the earths crust that are 300 kms deep, and that they allow extremely high frequency radiation from deep within the earth up to the surface. This radiation then goes 6000 metres up above the earth's surface before dissipating.
As each nuclear test sends a shock wave 4 times round the whole earth, every country on earth has been affected by it.
Whether or not this explanation is correct there is no doubt that there is a lot of geopathic stress around at the present time.
If it is correct it may go some way to explaining the increase in the incidence of cancer since the middle of last century.
How do you treat geopathic stress?
Now we come to the good news, geopathic stress is readily treatable. Essentially there are three ways of treating geopathic stress.
These are:-
1.To move out of the geopathic stress.
2 To block it and screen oneself from it.
3. To neutralise it .
As regards moving out of it this does not usually mean moving house. Most people who are affected by geopathic stress are affected where they sleep as their bed is usually the only place in the house where they spend eight hours of every day without moving. Also the body's resistance to geopathic stress decreases markedly when we are asleep.
Therefore the primary and most effective way of dealing with geopathic stress is to move one's bed. This simple measure very often results in one moving out of the area of geopathic stress and it ceases to be a problem.The further the bed can be moved the more likely it is that one gets out of the stressed area. However moving a bed by as little as two feet is sometimes sufficient to get out of the stressed area as it can be very localised. For some it is impossible to move their bed and in this case other methods need to be tried. These are worth doing anyway, even if it is possible to move one's bed, as a back up
It is possible to block off geopathic stress by means of a layer of cork placed under the bed. A layer of cork tiles or bath mats ,available from DIY and furniture stores can be used. It is also possible to obtain large sheets of cork from specialist suppliers.
The scientific reason for this to work appears to depend on an observed association between geological fault lines and oak trees (which produce cork).The oak tree seems to have evolved its own defence against geopathic stress which is present in cork.
Lastly there are ways of neutralising geopathic stress. There are two main ways of doing this. One is by using devices or machines and the other is by means of dowsing.
The simplest device to neutralise it that I know of is called "The Charged Card" and is the size of a credit card. It can be carried in a pocket or kept within 2 feet of one's bed. It is inexpensive and effective.
Other devices which can be placed under the bed include Hartmann Spirals and Flat Dielectric Resonators which are made in the USA.
Devices which are worn such as The Personal Energiser from India may help.
More costly are electronic machines which neutralise geopathic stress.These are plugged into the mains and then left on.They are capable of clearing an entire building of geopathic stress.
Finally there are dowsers who are able to clear it. Some will visit the house and clear the stress by driving metal stakes into the ground in order to divert the energy lines or by placing crystals to absorb it at key locations. There are also some dowsers who can clear a house by working on it at a distance using a floor plan of the house. Improbable as this may seem ,in my experience it can work. It may be explained scientifically by means of a physical principle known as Unified Quantum Field Theory.
This theory states that the control systems of living organisms exist at the level of the Fifth Dimension, and therefore lie outside the four dimensional space-time continuum which is all that we are ordinarily able to percieve of space and time. A deeper explanation of this theory lies beyond the scope of this article.
This is by no means a complete list of the ways of clearing geopathic stress. It represents one therapist's experience in treating it.
So what should I do if I think I may be geopathically stressed?
In order of importance you should:-
1. Move your bed (if at all possible)
2. Place a layer of cork underneath it
3. Get a Charged Card or similar device
It is important to note that it may take six weeks for the effects of geopathic stress to clear. Also clearing geopathic stress on its own may not bring about a cure as you may need to take appropriate remedies as well as to be free of geopathic stress.
If after doing all this you are no better after six weeks you should consider:-
1. Consulting a practitioner of German Biological Medicine
2. Consider consulting a Dowser
2. Consider buying an electronic device to clear geopathic stress.
The most important thing to remember is that Geopathic Stress can in virtually every case be cleared.
