Schrédter collected and fully annotat- ed information on such topics as blood telegraphy, ever-burning lamps, optics, spiritual skills in healing, transplanta- tion, isopathy and magnetism. He includes discussions on working with prana, making gold, the elixir of life, fakirism, hibernation, sylph lovers, elemental spirits, apparent death, Christ, and the mysterious Rotae Mundi. A Rosicrucian Notebook is a particu- larly valuable resource, containing excerpts from private and previously unpublished sources. by Roger Coghill Published by: Thorsons (Harper Collins), London, UK, 1992 ISBN 0 7225 2559 1 Available: Sydney Esoteric Bookshop (see ad page 59) Price: $20.00 Bioelectromagnetics scientist Roger Coghill goes a step beyond his contro- versial research into the health effects of electromagnetic fields (see his contro- versial previous book, Electropollution). 58¢NEXUS Now, in more positive contrast, he focuses on the healing power of EMFs. Coghill identifies seven categories of electrohealing's contribution to organic health. He traces its history and devel- opment, including suppressed ideas and neglected techniques such as haemo- irradiation (where the patient's blood is irradiated with ultraviolet light, then replaced), Drawing on evidence from medical tests and case studies, Coghill gives some fascinating insights into his cere- bral morphogenetic radiation theory— how the body and brain may use EMFs to maintain health and initiate the body's healing mechanisms. Electrohealing shows how you can protect your body from harmful electro- magnetic fields, how the body's own weak emissions of e-mag energy can be used in diagnosis, or be ‘neutralised’ to help the self-healing process. (Did you know that walking across carpet with rubber shoes can develop a potential difference of 10,000 volts? This process will ensure that any friend- ly negative ions are repelled—and we become depressed and irritable!) Roger Coghill’s book is a timely addi- tion to the body of knowledge on elec- tromagnetism in healing—one of the cornerstones of 21st century medicine.
