As the earth's magnetic field passes through materials such as subterranean water courses, faults, mineral deposits, natural gas, oil, caverns and other materials it creates concentrated anomalies in the field. These distortions in the natural back ground radiation from the earth often create concentrated field streams. These fields often fluctuate in intensity and are difficult to measure with electronic equipment. There is controversy around the reliability of methods of detection and intervention. However the age old method of dowsing from an experienced dowser can be effective means of detection. Because the accuracy of people's dowsing abilities vary, skepticism has deterred awareness and acceptance of protocols for detection and potential mitigation.

The first well-documented study of the correlation between geopathic stress and cancer was conducted in the 20’s and 30’s by the German dowser Baron von Pohl. Von Pohl was asked to dowse the small town of Vilsbiburg in 1929, having then the highest per capita cancer death rate in Bavaria at the time. He discovered a 100 per cent correlation between the beds of cancer victims and the paths of black (noxious) field streams passing through the town. He repeated the procedure in Grafenau in 1930, a town with the lowest cancer incidence in the province, and again found a 100 per cent correlation.

Health Effects:

Besides cancer, other diseases in which geopathic stress has been implicated include: multiple sclerosis, motor neuron disease, Parkinson's disease, and many other wasting and paralyzing diseases; endocrine disorders of all types; Crohn's disease; candidiasis; Down's syndrome and other congenital genetic disorders; schizophrenia and a host of mental disorders including obsessions, addictions, psycho-sexual disorders, suicides and location-specific depressions and anxieties.

Disorders which can have a geopathic stress component include insomnia and nightmares, sudden infant death syndrome, infertility, myalgic encephalomyelitis (post viral fatigue syndrome), migraine, asthma, eczema, arthritis, and rheumatic disorders, and many other chronically depleted immune system conditions.

The following are some example of studies that have been done:

Baron Gustav von Pohl. Germany (1920s) was able to determine that 95% of all cancer cases had connections to geostress

Ernst Hartmann. Germany (1940s-60s) Hartmann was 1st to describe geomagnetic grids and their influence on geostress

Manfield Curry. Germany (1950s-70s) Curry continued Hartmann’s work describing other grids and their influences

Otto Bergmann. Austria (1987-89) In two year trial which included over 462,000 measurements in 6,942 tests, Bergmann found geopathic stress effects on blood sedimentation, blood pressure, blood circulation, heat beat, breathing, skin resistance, and electrical conductivity of muscle points

Kathe Bacheler. Austria (1989) In survey that included 3,000 apartments and over 11,000 people, Bacheler discovered 100% correlations between geostress and 500 cases of cancer she studied. She also found 95% correlation with problem children (ADD/ADHD and other behavioral issues)

Pallegard. Denmark (1990) In a much publicized study, Pallegard correlated geostress in 14 out of 18 crib deaths.

Roger Rose. England (1990s) In a sample of 50 patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis ("chronic fatigue syndrome"), Rose found 100 % correlation to geostress.

Christopher McNaney. England (1990s) In a sample of 175 nomadic gypsy families, he found only 1% cancer and 0% heart disease.

Robert Endrost & Klotz Biberach. Germany (1990s) In a study performed by architectural students surveying homes, Endrost & Biberach found 383 cases of geostress in a sample of 400 cancer patients.

Recommendations:
Sleeping in a geopathic stress field is particularly harmful to your body. You spend about one third of your life in bed. During sleep your brain is supposed to rest half the time and is busy healing your body the other half. However, if you are exposed to geopathic stress during sleep, your brain never receives the full rest it requires to repair and regenerate.

Often moving the bed from in one direction or the other or on the other side of the room can make a difference. Although having the room dowsed by an experienced, accurate dowser is a good idea.

There are methods used to intentionally distort or arch the individual streams by placing steel/copper rods perpendicular to the center of the field streams. This can be effective to reduce the field strengths, however faults in the earth, water streams or other factors that created the anomalies in the earth's magnetic field can move over time. If these rods that are placed in the ground to intentionally arch or distort the fields away from the sleeping/ living areas are not at the right angle or position the arching or shifting of the fields will not happen as is intended. Sometimes it will be recommended to move the bed and other times arching these fields will help, but we recommend having these periodically checked every few months or if symptoms return which appeared alleviated by arching the fields.
