Final Physical Examinations of Study Patients
From: Joseph Carozza, M.D. . Date: December 24,1996
Re: Clinical Summary of 10 patients participating in BELS (now called the Bio-Photonic Energizer BPE) study from September 1996 to December 1996.

From September of 1996 to December of 1996, I examined ten patients who were involved in the Bio-Electrical Light Stimulation (BELS) program. The BELS Study involved exposing patients to electro-magnetic fields for five to twenty minutes three times per week. I completed histories and physicals on these patients and the following are my clinical findings:

Duration: The BELS study ran for a period of ten weeks. Patients were treated on a two to three times per. week basis. At the conclusion of the formal treatment portion of the Study, a number of patients opted for participation on a one time per week Maintenance program.
Population: A total of ten patients began the Study. Of these, six were HIV-positive.
Of the ten patients:
• Seven received the full ten weeks of treatment
• One stopped treatment early because she felt that her problems were resolved and had no desire to continue treatment
• One patient was requested to leave
• One entered the Study late and completed eight weeks of treatment
• Of the ten patients examined, seven were males and three were females. The average age was 44.6 years.

The Patient Population divided into two segments:
A Active: Those who completed the study and have remained on the Maintenance program;
B. Drop-Outs: - Those who left before the end of the Study and never completed treatment.
Group A: (Active)

Our clinical examinations disclosed the following conclusions in addition to changes in clinical conditions as contracted with the Information disclosed by the intake evaluations performed by the facilitator who saw the patients on a weekly basis during the Study:
Oral Cavity: Two of the patients had Thrush. Upon final examination, one cleared up completely and the other "was markedly improved.
Lymphadenopathy: On physical examination, one of the patients had lymphadenopathy, which resolved by the end of the Study.
Skin: Three of the patients at the beginning of the Study were diagnosed with Kaposi's sarcoma. Of the three KS patients, one improved dramatically, one improved moderately and one remained unchanged.
Mood Changes: Many instances of depression and other emotional problems were reported in the Intake. With the exception of a single patient who opted to return to anti-depressants she had been formerly taking, all of the patients exhibited generally cheerful, optimistic outlooks.
Fatigue: Initially, there were subjective complaints of fatigue by most of the patients. At the conclusion of the Study, all ten are leading normal lives and stated that they had increased levels of energy.
Clinical Procedures: Vital signs were recorded by the study clinician at each visit. Approximately one hour was spent per patient per treatment.
Pulse: Initially, many pulse rates were rapid and approximately 90. At final exam, all patients exhibited strong, regular pulse rates of 60 to 80.
Temperature: Temperatures, which were largely normal, as reported at the time of Intake, remained normal at the time of final examination.
Weight Loss: All patients maintained their normal weight through the span of the Study.
Night Sweats: Many patients complained of recurrent episodes of this malady upon entering the Study. None reported any incidents of the problem at the time of final examination.
General Physical Stamina: According to preliminary reports, several patients complained of limited physical strength and fatigue. At the final examination, all reported that they are now leading normal and demanding physical lifestyles. Many have resumed regular workout sessions.

Medical Overview: Of the ten patients studied, nine patients stated that they felt better. One patient who complained of severe jaw and oral cavity pain left the study early because she was completely pain free after a few weeks. Another patient who complained of severe
Chronic Fatigue stated that he was able to resume his postgraduate studies and strenuous lifestyle after treatments. One patient stated that she felt worse. Our oldest patient - age 72 - insisted on bringing her old laboratory studies which were several months old and refused to do baseline studies with the exception of her electrocardiogram. Her initial complaint was Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. After several weeks on the treatment protocol she was extremely energetic. Because this was a completely foreign feeling for her she was extremely agitated. She returned to medication previously prescribed by her physician and it was mutually agreed that she should discontinue the Study and she was asked to leave.
All of .the above patients as well as the six mentioned in the following discussion were off all Allopathic Medicines and were urged to pursue only natural remedies if they were to do anything outside of the study. All laboratory and physical baseline tests including physical examination, hematology, urinalysis, blood chemistries and electrocardiographs remained normal, unchanged or improved with the exception of the PCR tests. (See Chart # 1)
The following six patients were HTV-positive and the following observations were noted. In general, almost all of the symptoms associated with HIV+ were treated successfully with the BELS unit. These included, ringing in the ears, poor memory, chest pains, oral Thrush, blurred vision, severe fatigue, intermittent headaches, shortness of breath, night sweats, insomnia, diarrhea, flushing and sweating. All cardiograms remained unchanged. Laboratory work which included system analysis, such as liver enzymes and kidney function as well as complete blood work were unremarkable. CD4 (T4) lymphocyte levels were not followed since in our opinion, they are not a strong indicator of improvement or decline. Instead, we chose to use the PCR or Polymerase Chain Reaction to study the patient's actual viral loads. (See appendix)

CONCLUSIONS:
Quantum physics and experiments in light-energy particle physics have shown us that, at the particle level, all matter and energy are completely interchangeable. The recognition - that all matter is ENERGY - forms the foundation for understanding how human beings can be considered dynamic energetic systems. Using his famous E = mc2, Einstein proved that energy and matter are dual expressions of the same universal substance. That universal substance is a primal vibrational energy of which we are all composed. All organisms are dependent upon a vital force, which creates synergism via a unique structural organization of molecules. This vital force creates order in living systems and constantly rebuilds and renews cellular functions. When this life force leaves the body death ensues and the physical mechanism is slowly degraded into a disorganized collection of chemicals.
If we are beings of energy, it then follows that we can be affected by energy. Even orthodox medicine has eagerly recognized the evolutionary progression toward the development of energy methods of treatment. Radiation is widely used to treat cancer, electromagnetic pulsation stimulates healing of fractures and bone growth and electricity, in the form of TENS units, is used to treat pain. Hopefully, in time, the potential of incorporating alternative energy therapies will give us a better understanding of ourselves as multidimensional beings with unlimited healing potentials.

FINAL IMPRESSIONS:
The BELS unit worked very well on our non-HIV+ patients, especially those with Chronic Fatigue and Pain syndromes. If one compares the natural history of HIV, a progressive decline in the health status of these patients could be expected with more and more frequent inter-current illnesses, general fatigue and ongoing weight loss. None of this occurred with the HIV+ patients in the Study. If one refers to the previous list of Aids-related conditions, all of the medical problems, when originally present, were cither resolved or significantly improved during the Study. Because these patients are in vibrant good health, with minor exceptions noted, I am encouraged by the results of this protocol. I would like to see further studies duplicating these results with a larger patient population over a longer period of time. Apparently conditions that encompass a wide range of individual disease entities can be helped using the BELS unit.

TESTIMONIALS from 1996
May 14, 1996
My name is---. I have been using the Bels machine since July 1995. I have had a condition of general ill health due to years of drug and alcohol abuse and general unhealthy diet and activities. I have tried many different natural treatments of acupuncture, foot zone therapy, shiatsu, massage, Rife machine, colonies, chiropractic and herbal treatments with no long-term dramatic effects. My energy level was low; I was quite fatigued. General tiredness has been a problem over the years.
With the Bels machine, nutritional supplements and exercise I have had greater energy and sense of well-being. I started with 5 minutes every day and progressed to 10 minutes a day. I have missed days occasionally, but usually I use it every day. My treatments are usually in the morning as I find if I do it later the extra energy will keep me awake at night.
The foot zone therapy I have received since I have been using the machine indicates that my organs are much healthier as well as my entire body and overall general health. I have also encountered times of depression which I even took some mild depressants for, I have found this machine has somewhat improved my mental outlook as well as making it unnecessary to take any medicine.
My mind is clearer and the room in which we keep the machine actually feels better. Leaving the machine on for a couple of hours at a time has seemed to make my house seem less ''heavy"...friends have commented when they have come over about the better "energy"
Overall I feel much better and have a healthier out look and a feeling of well-being as physical health directly relates to mental and emotional health. I would recommend this machine to anyone. If you have any questions or would like further information, feel free to call. Sincerely ---

To whom it may concern,
I started using the Bels unit, or the zapper as I call it, at the first of May this year. I have HIV, and I have had HIV for ten plus years now. A friend of mine told me about the Bels unit, it sounded interesting, so we decided to give it a try. At first I was a bit skeptical but, continued on with an open mind. We zap every other day, or at least we try to, doing two fifteen-minute sessions at a time. In the first week I could feel a change in my energy level & also my mood seemed enhanced. Could it be the zapper I'm asking myself. A couple of weeks go by, still doing my zap sessions. Feeling good about life and myself, due to the Bels unit. Finally I go to the Doctor, to do a routine check up, for a person with HIV; Blood counts, Body functions etc My "T" Cell count has dropped slowly in ten years, never going up, just slowly downward. But since I've started using the Bels unit my "T" Cell count has risen!! My Viral Load count is very low!! I find this incredible as well as my doctor & others!! My energy level is higher, my "T" Cell & counts are higher, my wellness field improved. I feel great, and would recommend this to any one. Good Luck –

To whom it may concern,
My most dramatic experience with the BELS Machine was 2 years ago when I was suffering from chronic Epstein Barr Virus for the past 4 years, and had to prepare for a trip to Los Angeles, I could hardly function, very little energy, mentally foggy, and just wanted to be in bed.
I was referred to the BELS machine by a friend then so I just stopped trying to pack, and went for a treatment. 2 hours later, I felt surprisingly good. I flew to Los Angeles the next day and was amazed at how well I felt, and continued to feel. After a week I called my friend to tell him that all the symptoms were GONE. Three weeks later I felt a little tired and remembering being told by a friend who had Epstein Barr virus that it took 2 treatments to recover so I went to get another. The virus was killed and I am not suffering from its symptoms any more.
4 months ago I began a new set of treatments on the BELS for Uterine Fibroids, which just didn't seem to respond to any treatment for years. This time I supplemented the treatments with hormone precursors, and oxygen therapy. At present, the tumor has been reduced to 50% of the original size and so have all the related discomforts. My health and sense of well-being is at its best today.
J. M testimonial 7/6/96

I am a 36 yr old female with low-grade lymphoma of the bone marrow. In the past year I have had an enlargement of the lymph nodes of the neck, abdominal area, and massive spleen enlargement. I am usually tired, my energy level is low most of the time and I've had night sweats. In April when I had my blood tests my WBC had dropped to 3.7 below the range it should be. In May I met a D.O. and decided to use his electro-magnetic unit {BELS}. I felt very well after the first session and continued to do 15 min. sessions, three times a week. My energy level went way up- some days I couldn't even take the afternoon naps I had grown accustomed to taking daily. Some days if I had a headache - It would go away. One day I was lightheaded and after doing a 20 min. treatment, the dizziness went away. When I returned for a doctor visit on May 28 my WBC had gone up to 4.9 within the normal range and my lymph nodes had gone.

I am a 34 year-old male living with AIDS. I first tested positive for HIV antibodies almost ten years ago. My diagnosis changed to AIDS after my T-cell count fell below 200 about two years ago. Although I have never experienced any opportunistic infections, I suffer from chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, slight cognitive impairment as well as peripheral neuropathy in both my legs and feet [side effect of DDC usage]. I first used the "BELS" unit approximately ten days ago while I was struggling with a case of severe bronchitis accompanied by a steady high fever of 104 degrees. After 5 days of such high-grade fever, I used the unit twice for a period of ten minutes each. The next morning, my temperature had returned to normal and the bronchitis cleared. I have never before experienced such a rapid drop in temperature, nor clearing of an infection. I have continued to use the unit each day, twice a day for fifteen minutes. I have experienced increased energy, improvement in my cognitive abilities as well as relief from major depression and clinical anxiety. The pain from the peripheral neuropathy has diminished, making it easier to walk and stand for longer periods of time. My most recent lab results [copies forthcoming] indicate a rise in my T-cell count from eight to thirty-seven, over a four-fold increase. I am awaiting the results from my PCR ANA [viral load] tests and will forward them as soon as they are available. Should you have any questions, please contact me at the above phone number.
Sincerely, A.M.

To Whom It May Concern:
About six months ago I had an opportunity to use the "BELS" machine. My friend Michael D. used the machine for his depression. He has been diagnosed as bipolar for most of his life. He goes into major depression and medication was about the only thing that could maintain him. He was very depressed for about three weeks, and his medication was not helping. I convinced him to use the machine to see if could help him. Within a few hours after his first treatment, he snapped out of his depression. He has not lapsed into a depression since that time. Michael has not used the machine for two months and his depression has not returned.
I also have a dark field microscope. We had analyzed several blood samples to see what the unit did to the blood. I noticed that the white blood cells mere more active after the treatment. I did not have my video camera for my microscope at the time. I would not say it was conclusive information, but it does warrant further testing. I will be receiving the light machine again in the next several weeks to further test it. I will keep you informed about the results.
I received a Bels unit 6 months ago. I just had my fifth heart attack. I had a heart attack in the hospital waiting room, so they rushed me into the operating room and performed a 5-bypass surgery. After the surgery I had no energy, they ran a Cardiolite exam which is used to measure blood flow in the body and found that there was a blockage in the heart. After I started using the machine, my energy came back. A couple of months later they ran the same tests and found the blockage disappeared. My doctors asked me what I had done. I acted like I did not know. I didn't want to get anyone in trouble.
My daughters' Father-in-law, called me about the machine. He had a kidney transplant. After the transplant his body was full of toxins. No matter what the doctors did, he felt worse. The doctors finally gave up hope and sent him home to die. After the first treatment, he quit using a cane. Now he is walking upright and has good color. If you need to talk to me about this, feel free to call me at home.
Sincerely, J.P

After the birth of my first child by cesarean section at the age of 37, I experienced a variety of physiological symptoms I did not have prior to his birth. There was a great deal of stress, physical and emotional in my life at that time. We moved five times in 6 months. I started working when he was 2 months old and continued working until the symptoms of fatigue became so extreme I could not function any more, about two and a half years after my son was born. By then I had symptoms of chronic fatigue, poor memory, vertigo, muscle weakness, lost sex drive, candidiasis, parasites, hormone imbalance and depression. My physical heart felt stressed and I had shortness of breath. I had my heart checked and it was fine. I had no energy to accomplish anything but what was required to function minimally: getup, get dressed, get my son to school, go to work, drag myself home. I gradually worked less and less at my job until I had to give it up entirely. I had no energy to play with my son. The effort to make meals was enormous and I could not keep my house in order. I did not sleep well and never woke up rested. My doctor tested me for various viruses and found cytomegalovirus, signs of Epstein Barr virus, and some other virus whose name I don't remember. Other blood tests showed my hormone levels to be fairly normal apart from some dehydration. The doctor prescribed rest. I tried to rest but the fatigue continued.
I went to chiropractors, Homeopaths, and acupuncturists, but experienced no long-term benefit. Sometimes my symptoms were lessened a little for a short time but they always returned. I seemed to have also chemical and food sensitivities. Many supplements were suggested. I took amino acids, oxygenated concentrate of mineral oxides, ultra colloidal silver, homeopathic remedies, cytozyma H-10[7], DHEA, etc.
When I started using the "BELS" machine, I had a slight alleviation of my symptoms after one-hour sessions or so. After about three treatments, I noticed a marked increase in my energy level immediately after using the machine. After I had had about a dozen or so treatments on this machine I moved away from where the machine was, this made it more difficult to get treatments.
However, I noticed that after these initial sessions on the machine my energy level was much higher and I was able to sustain it at this new level. I could accomplish a great deal. About four months later I used the machine for about a week. I used it for I hour each morning and evening for six days. After six days I felt awfully toxic, low in energy, headache, and sick. I was aware as I used the machine that it was dumping lots of toxins into my system. I did some fairly basic detoxing at the end of this week of self-treatments, such as hot apple-cider vinegar baths and a couple of colonies.
The improvement after this was dramatic!! All my symptoms seemed to have disappeared. I didn't have the fatigue any more. My memory seemed to be functioning normally. The muscle weakness disappeared. The candidiasis seemed to disappear. I had energy to do things that I had not done for years. When I was sure I could sustain this sense of well-being I returned to work a few months later. I am still working today. Nothing alone that I had tried in two and a half years had any lasting effect. After one week with the "BELS" machine and detoxing sessions, I was over all my symptoms of chronic fatigue and other ailments and was functioning normally. I am very grateful.

BIOINFORMATION AND A NEW COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
The concept of information in bio-molecular science is based on biochemistry and conveyed by bio-molecules, such as-DNA, RNA, hormones, and receptors. However/the concept of information can be extended to biophysical models based on field interactions. Here we extend it to include EM bio-information (i.e., in- formation encoded in the dynamic wave train of low-level EM fields).
Information has taken on a mechanistic meaning in our age of computers, appropriate for machines, but questionable for life with its features of self-reference, self-organization, and consciousness. Machines have only a few critical internal interconnections, whereas living systems have network of interconnections within, many dependent on the history, habits, and dispositions they have inherited or acquired. In living systems there are numerous pathways for information flow between the multiple levels of order, from the top-down as well as the bottom-up. From a non-mechanistic viewpoint appropriate for living systems, information is neither energy nor matter in itself, although energy or matter is its carrier. Information is that which exists only in relationship, and similar to energy, always involves at least two entities, a sender and a receiver, and it depends on the context. Information for a living system is that which
"in-forms"; it conveys meaning, although the meaning to the organism may not always be conscious.
The complex network of information flows and exchanges in living systems is a novel way to conceptualize the living state. In other words, the living state is a multilevel informed and informing complex dynamic regulatory system. Information in biologic systems, herein called bioinformation to distinguish it from other mechanistic concepts of information, was proposed earlier by the author as a unifying concept of causation in living systems (Rubik, 1995a). As part of biologic regulation and maintenance of homeodynamics, cells and tissues may engage in continuous EM field sensing and exchange of information. This is proposed to be an inherent communication system in the organism based on waves, in which each constituent-of life may serve as both antenna and receiver of information-carrying signals.
The following relates dynamic systems behavior to bioinformation. There is a broad spectral bandwidth of frequencies for the natural oscillators in the human body that are information-rich and hypothesized to govern system dynamics from the top-down. Perhaps the EM signals that organisms emit and receive from others comprise the original wireless communication system on earth. This communication system may be more fundamental than the nervous system, as it may be faster and richer in information.

SOME IMPLICATIONS, PREDICTIONS, AND TESTS OF THE BIO-FIELD HYPOTHESIS
Acupuncture
Science has failed to substantiate the acupuncture meridians and acupoints anatomically. Instead, these may be energetic manifestations of the bio-field. Moreover, acupoints have been shown to be special regions of higher electrical conductivity than the surrounding tissues (Becker, 1976). The rapid global responses of the organism to acupuncture suggest that its effects may not be entirely mediated by neurohumoral mechanisms, but may involve the bio-field with its faster communication system and holographic features. The bio-field hypothesis predicts that stimulating the acupoints would impact the bio-field to carry bioinformation rapidly and globally throughout the organism for its specific reception by distant tissues. Studies to measure the speed of signal transduction of stimuli through the acupuncture system could be done to measure whether bioinformation travels faster than through the nervous system. If indeed the acupuncture system of meridians and points is part of the bio-field, and if EM waves are the means by which a signal moves through the acupuncture system, then the bio-field hypothesis predicts that this signal will travel faster than the speed of nerve conduction (20 m/s), because EM signals in the body travel at nearly the speed of light (3 X 108 m/s).

CONCLUSIONS AND DISCUSSION
The history of biology reveals different philosophic perspectives that have shaped biology and medicine over the centuries. The present dominant paradigm of molecular reductionism falls short of explaining the dynamic, self-organizing and self-restoring properties of living systems and their responses to many CAM therapies, especially those involving field principles. However, a biophysical view of life is emerging from dynamic nonlinear systems theory of open, far from equilibrium systems that offers a complementary perspective and embraces the complex, holistic, dynamic features of life as well as new electrodynamic and bioinformational interactions.
The bio-field hypothesis is developed from this perspective. It has Implications for the life sciences in general, predicting a new communication system in organisms that involves EM bioinformation. It has implications and explanatory power for CAM; it predicts that many CAM modalities act dynamically on bioregulation, rather than on structure-function relationships in the body. Moreover, it provides the rudiments of a scientific foundation for the energy medicine modalities of acupuncture, homeopathy, bioelectromagnetic therapies, and bio-field therapies. The first stage in the modus operandi of these modalities is predicted to be an interaction with the organism's bio-field, and the result is an effect on homeodynamics.
We cannot observe the bio-field directly, isolate it, or analyze it comprehensively. We cannot compute it from first principles because of its complexity. In relation to this, there are many unobservable aspects of nature known only indirectly in physics by their effects. Fields are one example of this. Another example from physics is the curvature of space-time. Nonetheless, certain aspects of the bio-field may be ascertained from careful measurements, and it<properties elucidated through the existence of certain phenomena. In order to learn more about the human bio-field and its proposed eminent role in health and healing, we need a "human energy project," a project similar to the Human Genome Project, with funding and the full commitment of the research community The new centers for Frontier Medicine in Bio-field Science recently funded by NIH mark an important step forward.
This paper advances the biophysical perspective of life with a succinct definition and hypothesis of the bio-field, which offers a unified concept for the modus operandi of certain medical interventions. Some predictions are made, and certain aspects of the bio-field hypothesis proposed here can be further examined for validity. Further work, both theoretical and experimental, is needed to more fully develop and test this hypothesis.
