Albert Abrams, an American neurologist, devised the system of alternative healthcare known as radionics in 1920. From investigations he concluded that diseases were not basically a problem of cell degeneration but a form of radiating energy, caused by an imbalance of electron in the body. When the areas relating the  diseases start overlapping, problems start to develop with his method of diagnosis.

Radionics is a method of treating and analyzing health, using instruments which are specially designed to analyze and treat illness or the imbalance of energy that can cause illness. It is carried out at a remote location by means of some complicated machinery, or computer and a ‘witness’.

The term ‘witness’ is used for a drop of blood, a nail clipping or more often, a lock of hair of the patient. The hair itself is not analyzed, but is used as an energy link allowing the practitioner to tune into the energy field of the patient. The quality of the patient’s mental, physical and emotional health is detected by the analysis.
