<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear Learned and Well-informed Listmates: A well-intentioned friend of mine in the UK sent me a newspaper clipping from the Daily Mail, dated Oct. 1, 1996 (p. 39) wherein there was an article entitled "How to Beat that Wheat Allergy..." Did any of you UK listmembers see it? THe article described a new invention, now being implemented in various hospitals in the UK called the Bicom Resonance machine. It is reported to "reflect back to the body its own electromagnetic waves by means of electrodes connected by wires to the machine and held in the patient's hands." [The newer models require the patient to hold 2 brass balls instead of electrodes.] The article goes on "Groups of cells emit different frequencies, some healthy, some unhealthy. By changing these cell frequencies, the Biocom machine is changing the patient's biochemistry, hormones and metabolism. Healthy frequencies are amplified and mirrored back to the body while unhealthy frequencies are turned around before reflecting them back." It boasts that children are more often than not cured in 1 treatment, although adults need a series of treatments. It is apparently particularly effective on wheat and dairy allergies as well as asthma, and chronic diseases like rheumatism, neuralgia and nerve pain. HAS ANYONE HEARD OF THIS? IS THIS A HOAX? Would this work on Celiac Disease, which is more than just an allergy? I am open to comments. I don't want to be gullible - that's for sure. Thanks. Sharon Marcus [log in to unmask]
