The concept that restoring balance to the energy levels of the body can promote health and wellness is central to one type of alternative healing. This modality is known as energy therapy and it involves the manipulation of these biological force fields through one or more techniques which are used to bring about a state of equilibrium which some believe critical to improved health and recovery from illness.
First conceptualized in the Eastern world, this alternative healing modality continued to expand as technology introduced new advances in its understanding of magnetism, electricity and the like. While it has not gained the credibility of popular medical machines such as radiation and x-ray equipment, and it has yet to be proven scientifically, its practitioners continue to uphold its effectiveness.
Proponents of this healing approach have suggested that it can actually help slow down unnatural cell growth such as that in cancer. Its practice is also associated with alleviation of pain and stronger immunity. This kind of therapy is categorized as either that which employs an outside source of energy or that which works with the body's existing "biofields".
Examples of this latter form of therapy involve the use of electricity, magnetic fields, infrared and microwave heat. These include BioResonance tumor therapy, the Rife machine, and the "Zapping" machine. While they operate slightly differently, each of these devices has been designed to target affected cells by the administration of low-frequency electrical current.
Biofield manipulation is accomplished without devices, but instead it relies on the hands of the practitioner to act as a healing tool. Touch may be involved as in "healing touch" therapy, or the hands may be merely aligned in a certain fashion in relation to the body, as seen in Reiki, or therapeutic touch. The common goal of all forms is to correct imbalances of energy body which contribute to pain and illness.
The medical community does not at this point in time fully accept this alternative form of healing. Evidence indicative of its effectiveness in alleviating pain and symptoms associated with cancer and other diseases is rather limited in both scope and source, originating largely from individual claims or small, restricted studies.
Little to no risks are associated to the use of this healing technique, very rarely electric devices can malfunction and the manual approach is entirely safe. It should not be used on patients with defibrillators or pacemakers, as a precaution. Patients are advised to only undergo this form of therapy as a complementary treatment, not use it in lieu of conventional care with proven results.
