Radionics - what is it?
Radionics is a technique for promoting health in people and animals using nature’s own subtle energies. It is drug-free and safe.
The practitioner, using his/her intuitive ability directed by dowsing (radiesthesia), seeks to enhance the self-healing capabilities of the client by means of distant healing, that is healing directed to a patient who is not necessarily present. Its effects are not so much directed at the palpable, dense physical body, but rather at the subtle energy fields which support life and which cannot be reached by conventional means.
Mainstream biology has for long denied or ignored the existence of these subtle fields, which cannot be detected using the normal senses, despite overwhelming evidence for their existence.
The name ‘Radionics’ was coined by pioneers of the technique earlier this century as a result of their work with instrument-assisted distant healing. They believed that the instruments were akin to radio transmitters. Today it is recognised that the instruments are not powered by electromagnetic energy as we understand it, but by an as yet poorly understood but powerful form of energy which derives from focused thought or prayer.
What does Radionic treatment involve?
Radionics is a two-part activity: an analysis and a treatment.
In the analysis, the practitioner ‘tunes’ in to the client, with his/her permission, by means of a hair sample. This, being something which is unique to the client, enables practitioner and client to connect by mutual agreement at a supra-conscious level. By determining the answer to a series of mentally posed questions, using dowsing and charts of both the physical body and what is known of the invisible energy fields, the practitioner attempts to discover what is contributing to the patient’s problem, and what is needed to correct it.
Treatment may be given by instrument-assisted distant healing (distance no object) or by means of a Radionic remedy in the form of unmedicated sugar tablets which have been simply placed in a Radionic instrument.
What equipment is used?
Most practitioners use a pendulum for the analysis, but a wide variety of other instruments are used both in diagnosis and treatment, including the preparation of remedies, from very simple devices to computer-assisted systems. Traditional radionic instruments, the famous ‘black boxes’, may contain various bits of wire or electronic gadgetry, but they make no sense at all to conventional physicists. They were developed over time using a mixture of conventional physics, dowsing and trial-and-error. Some practitioners dispense with instruments altogether and can hold the entire process in their minds, but most find that they achieve better results using them. In a way that can’t yet be explained, radionic instruments seem to help to focus mentally generated energy.
Treatment Methods
Treatment is usually carried out by setting up numerical codes known as ‘rates’ for the energy concepts needed by the client on instruments on which his/her hair sample is also placed. The patients are checked regularly and the ‘rates’ changed as necessary. Regular contact between client and practitioner is necessary for the momentum of the healing to be maintained. Alternatively, the ‘rates’ which are needed are transferred to an unmedicated medium such as sugar pills which can then be taken by mouth.
Radionic treatment works well in animals and children, indicating that there is more than suggestion involved in its effects. As with herbal medicine and other healing techniques, the client frequently experiences a temporary aggravation of his/her condition before improvement sets in. This seems to suggest that the intervention initially ‘stirs something up’, an observation which may have considerable interest for physiologists once these methods become more widely known.
It is still not clear how Radionics works, but developments in modern physics and psychology indicate that we are all connected at some subtle level outside space and time, and the energy transfer which takes place, whatever its nature, may be via this channel. It is the common experience of Radionic practitioners that they can connect to clients irrespective of the geographical distance between them. We believe, however, that the energy needed for healing comes from a source external to the practitioner, and beyond our comprehension. It is mobilised only by genuine need and by genuine compassion.
For which conditions is Radionics useful?Radionics has been reported to be helpful in a wide variety of conditions, both chronic and acute, but it is probably used most effectively as long term general support. Many older people ascribe their good health in later years to regular Radionic treatment.

Radionics - not a replacement for conventional medical care.
Radionics does not replace conventional medical and veterinary care. Always see your physician first if you are unwell and be guided by his/her advice.
History of Radionics.
While the human skills exploited in radionics are probably innate but neglected, the origin of Radionics as a modern healing discipline is attributed to a distinguished American physician Dr. Albert Abrams (1863-1924) and was developed later by the chiropracter Ruth Drown. Abrams achieved results with ‘instruments’ which attracted derision from orthodox circles. In 1924 a committee was set up under the chairmanship of Lord Horder to look into the claims of Abrams and his followers. Despite overwhelming evidence that the results were not due to chance, the committee dismissed his work as ‘scientifically unsound and ethically unjustified’. But an acrimonious discussion followed and a 1925 editorial in the prestigious journal Nature commented: ‘the matter as it stands does no credit to scientific investigation’.
Further controversy followed in the USA which led to radionics being banned by the FDA, whereupon the focus for research into radionics moved to the UK. In 1942, the Radionic Association of Great Britain was founded. An Oxford engineer George De La Warr developed a range of new types of radionic instruments, as did Malcom Rae in the 1960s. A parallel movement also emerged in Britain amongst some medical practitioners, Psionic Medicine, who used intuitive techniques to diagnose and prescribe remedies. Ideas about putative subtle energy fields were developed by David Tansley and others who drew heavily on the work of the Theosophists and of the Anthroposophist Rudolph Steiner.
Despite derision from orthodox groups, Radionics and allied techniques continue to be in demand. The growing realisation by biologists that DNA is not the primary determinant of life, but only a vehicle for its expression, may finally bring the benefits of Radionics and related healing techniques to a wider public.
