This paper considers both conventional and unconventional modes of information transfer between remote substance and the ear/patient body/practitioner system in auricular medicine. Presently described quantum mechanics does not provide useful understanding of auricular medicine; however, an expanded view involving electric particle movement in direct-space, correlated magnetic monopole wave undulations in reciprocal-apace plus still higher dimensional coupling as well as intention imprinting does provide a framework for such an understanding. Weakly-coupled images of these magnetic monopoles lead to magnetic dipoles in direct-apace and conventional electromagnetism. Strongly-coupled images of these magnetic monopoles generate a non-linear effect in direct-apace, which is labeled augmented electromagnetism, and is proposed to be the basis for various types of Qi. Experimental support for this model comes from a variety of studies on Intention Imprinted Electrical Devices.


INTEGRATION OF VAS TECHNIQUES WITH TRADITIONAL WESTERN MEDICAL TECHNIQUES

The non-invasive VAS technique may be used adjunctively with mainline medicine's diagnostic and treatment approaches. Learning to use the VAS is relatively easy. The VAS helps to assess the degree of homeostasis in both health and illness. Information obtained can also be used to assess potential benefits or toxic effects of proposed medical intervention. The use of the VAS may help to shorten the clinical course of illness for a variety of reasons. It may also help reduce costs for patients, hospitals and insurance companies. Two frequently useful clinical techniques were mentioned. The intradermal injections of Influenza Vaccine dilutions assist in the management of Herpetic lesions as well as some other manifestations of acute or chronic viral involvement. On an outpatient basis, Auricular acupuncture, with appropriate nutritional supplementation, can deal effectively as a person withdraws from many types of addictive substances. This form of acupuncture in Phases V - X with appropriate diet and supplementation can, at times, be just as effective as using medication because, as Navach contends, it stimulates secondary and tertiary chemical pathways in the brain which have been minimally utilized. Research in progress by Navach regarding the VAS includes:
- Refinement of the totally objective recording of the VAS so that it may be used in ongoing research and clinical work.
- Development of the capacity to treat certain chronic problems with computerized electromagnetic equipment using protocol established by statistical studies of the VAS manual techniques.


CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES AND HOMOCYSTEINE

In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that a nutritional deficiency of vitamins from the B group leads to the creation of a toxic metabolite – homocysteine, constituting one of the greatest risk factors in the development of heart disease and other degenerative diseases. Research conducted in the field has proved that dietary supplements, such as vitamins B12, B6 and folic acid have the capacity to restore the homocysteine level to normal values and to assist in the prevention of heart disease. Cardiovascular diseases and the factors causing them, are one of the toughest problems modern medicine must contend with. After years of research, the scientific medical community has adopted the approach which proves the close connection existing between the homocysteine level in the blood and arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and other degenerative diseases that are age related. As known, heart diseases are the number one cause of death in the western world. Tests performed on people who died from heart attacks found that the level of homocysteine in their blood was significantly higher in comparison with healthy people at the same age (The Lancet, 1995, 346, 1395-8). The findings regarding the effect of homocysteine, constitute the ‘missing link’ in research of the reason and factors for heart disease, since the connection between high cholesterol levels and death from heart disease do not provide the full answer to this problem. It has become evident that high levels of homocysteine constitute an independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease, with the risks increasing in direct proportion to its level in the blood
(Am J Clin Nut, 1994, 59, 940-8).

Therefore, great importance lies in applying the research findings in this field, to reduce the risk of contracting these diseases and preventing their progression.
The toxic substance, homocysteine, is a direct result of a nutritional deficiency of the B vitamins. In a normal state, the body synthesizes the amino acid cysteine from methionine through an intermediary process where homocysetine is produced. But when vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid are lacking, the body is incapable of breaking down the homocysteine and its level rises. In these situations, where excess homocysteine is produced, it tends to accumulate in the tissues and causes a series of destructive processes – damaging the walls of the blood vessels, increasing blood clotting, and so forth, and as a consequence, an increase in heart diseases. Not only do these findings explain the risk of contracting these diseases, but they also explain the difference in disease pattern between men and women.
It is known that premenopausal women have less chance of getting heart disease than men, however, after menopause, the disease sharply increases among women, and at age 65, the number of men and women with heart disease is nearly equated. It has become evident that prior to menopause, the level of homocysteine in women is approximately 20% less than in men, but after menopause, their levels are equal to those of men. Therefore, the most important discovery is concealed in the very fact that, except for rare cases of hereditary disease, the level of homocysteine may be substantially reduced, thus preventing heart disease, by additional consumption of three simple, non-toxic and inexpensive nutritional components from the vitamin B family. Research has formally proven that nutritional supplementing with folic acid, and vitamins B 6 and B12, when consumed in higher amounts than the recommended dietary allowance (RDA), can reduce the level of toxic homocysteine and substantially reduce the risk of heart disease. An extensive article published in JAMA 1998, 279: 359-364, examined the influence of folic acid, B12 and B6 consumption on the development of cardiovascular diseases in more than 80,000 women. After following-up for 14 years, the scientists reached the following conclusion: ”Women taking these vitamins as dietary supplements (in the framework of a multi-vitamin) in doses above the recommended daily allowance (RDA), tend to become significantly less afflicted with heart diseases, than those who did not take them.” An additional study published in the same journal clearly showed that people who take high enough doses folic acid are at a lower risk for heart diseases (JAMA 1996: 275: 1929-30). It must be pointed out, that industrial food, stress situations, pesticides, medications and HRT, all reduce the level of B vitamins in the body, thereby increasing homocysteine levels, together with a rise in the death rate caused by heart disease. Furthermore, the risk of osteoporosis, development of cancerous processes, dementia, along with all of the other degenerative diseases connected with aging, are also on the rise. One cannot exaggerate in emphasizing the importance of this discovery, which stresses the necessity of incorporating B vitamins for treating and preventing heart diseases. Therefore, continuing to focus on cholesterol as the single cause of Arteriosclerosis hence, treating it with antihyperlipidemic drugs, seems to be a mistake which will lead to a failure in the fight against the leading cause of death in our society.


AGED GARLIC EXTRACT MAY PROVIDE SUPERIOR CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS

In humans, Kyolic – Aged Garlic Extract (AGE) was found to lower cholesterol (10-33%) and triglycerides (>10%). Lau’s study using AGE was one of the few papers which met the stringent qualifications set out by two meta-analyses by Warshafsky et al and by Silagy et al for determining the cholesterol-lowering effects of garlic. LDL was reduced while HDL, the ”good” cholesterol, was increased. The cholesterol-lowering effects of AGE were again confirmed by two recent, well designed, double-blind clinical studies. Dr. Steiner’s paper, reported in the American journal of Clinical Nutrition found a 7% reduction in cholesterol and 6% reduction in blood pressure following six months intake of AGE. Yeh reported a 7% reduction in total cholesterol and a 10% reduction in LDL cholesterol following five months intake Steiner also noted a trend toward reduced oxidation of patients’ cholesterol by AGE. Confirming these results, Munday noted a significant reduction (27%) by AGE (2.4g) compared to raw garlic (6g), which was ineffective. Oxidized cholesterol is more damaging to vessels than unoxidized cholesterol. Steiner also found that AGE improved platelet function in patients with high cholesterol levels by decreasing adhesion to fibrinogen (a blood thinning effect). Platelet adhesion is strongly related to the development of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases. Other work by Campbell’s team of researchers at The University of Queensland found that AGE significantly the davelopment of fatty streak atherosclerotic lesions, cholesterol accumulation and smooth muscle cell division which contribute to the development of heart disease.
