Dr Gillian Tabor explores Bioresonance and the Science Behind the Claims

About this episode

Dr Gillian Tabor discusses the science behind bioresonance and its claims, exploring both its theoretical plausibility and legitimate electromagnetic therapies.

Bioresonance (sometimes called bio-energetic therapy or bio-frequency therapy) is an alternative or complementary therapy based on the idea that every cell, tissue, or organ in the body emits its own electromagnetic frequency or “vibration.”  Devices are sold for placement on the skin (or, for animals, sometimes attached to the coat), and the devices measure electrical signals, analyse their “frequencies,” and emit counterfrequencies supposedly intended to cancel or correct the imbalance. With her characteristic clarity and curiosity, Gillian explores why bioresonance sounds plausible in theory. She also discusses legitimate areas of electromagnetic therapy, such as PEMF and photobiomodulation, and calls for proper research to separate real physiological effects from pseudoscientific claims. Whether you’ve seen these devices online, been recommended one, or are simply curious about the science behind them, this episode is an essential listen for any evidence-minded equestrian or therapist. ---- To find out more about becoming a member >>> AskAnimalweb.com Not a Member?
