Alternative Medicine - skenar diagnostics


Expert: Baihu - 10/20/2009

Question
dear Baihu.

i would like to know if you do have any experience eith so-called skenar or scenar diagnostics and treatment. is the diagnostics reliable? or is it only some stupid machine which does not tell you true about your health?

and.. if it works, how long after getting infection for example, can the machine show you, you have some bacteria-virus-anything in your body?

i would like to try it, but am not sure, if it is even worth trying.

thank you very much!

Answer
Dear Zdenka,

I'm not directly familiar with the device. After getting your question, I tried to research it a little bit, but the information I've found is very superficial, geared toward selling the device (not explaining how it helps) - personally, I don't trust what I'm seeing.

To the best of my knowledge electrical 'impulses' to the skin don't have any direct effect, unless in the hands of a skilled accupuncturist. Even then, I would think traditional needle work would be as effective as anything else.

I don't see how it can give any information about health at all. No divice can replace human training and experience.

When alternative or holistic medicine practitioners talk about "energy" healing we aren't talking about electricity from a battery or a device...we are speaking in terms of "vital force" or "chi" or "ki" or the subtle "life force energy"...the sort of "energy" you see in chi gong, accupuncture, Reiki and the like...not simple electricity.

My opinion is to save your money, and instead of buying an unproven device, use that same money to see a skilled and trusted practitioner for a full in person evaluation, where they can get to know you fully. Alternative medicine works with body, mind and spirit. A machine can not evaluate or help you with your mood, or spirituality and the like. A good practitioner can help with those things too, which is important since physical ailments can have mental and spiritual components...such as someone who feels stressed and carrying a lot of burdens might feel a tight shoulder or neck pain.

Thank you for your question...I learned something new too!

Wishing you good health!
