The Human Energy Field – An Interview With Valerie Hunt, Ph.D. – Part 2
(Dr. Valerie Hunt is one of the most brilliant healers and researchers I have ever met. Now 91 years young, Valerie is professor emeritus at UCLA, where she was the first scientist to satisfactorily prove the existence of the human energy field, more commonly referred to as the “human aura.” Since that time, Valerie has remained in the forefront in the field of energy medicine, and today her ongoing research is making clear how and why understanding of the human energy field is of paramount importance not only to optimal health, but also to spiritual awareness.
What follows is part two of an interview I conducted with Valerie that was featured in my book, Health on the Edge: Visionary Views of Healing in the New Millennium. To learn more about Valerie, visit http://www.1healthyworld.com/advisoryBoard/ValerieHunt.cfm.)
Q: Based on what you're saying, a person's health index would be directly related to how well he or she adapts to whatever they are experiencing moment to moment.
A: Well, there are certain parameters. First, for optimal health to exist, the field has to be very broad-spectrum and adaptive. Some of the people we test have electromagnetic energy that is in the middle of the spectrum and is truncated there. They can't go very high, and they can't go very low. They seem to dribble through life and struggle. Then there are the people, such as those who practice certain types of meditation, whose frequencies are extremely high, so that if something happens in the world, they don't respond on the middle or lower branches. They respond on the upper branches. They have a certain kind of peace, yet they often die of hypotension (low blood pressure, cancer) diseases because they don't have enough vital energy. And then there are some people who are in the lower ranges, which means they don't have the high frequencies, but they have a heck of a lot of energy. They can do things that the rest of us can't physically do even if we push ourselves to exercise and build more strength. These are the people who have difficulty with hypertension, skin conditions, anything that is hyper or excessive in terms of imbalances. The ideal field is one that has the low frequencies, the middle frequencies, the higher frequencies, and no major break in between any of them, so that they can play the total range of the piano, as it were.
The next parameter is power. Power is a quantitative measurement. You may have the complete frequency range, but the only place you have power is in certain aspects of that range. That's where you operate from because that's where you've got power. If you have power in the lower ranges, you will be physically active, and have vital dynamic life. I'm 87 and nobody knows it. I have lower frequencies and this keeps cells and organs working and keeps me looking younger. If you have great frequency in the middle ranges, you can easily handle intellectual issues and can solve problems. If you have power in the upper ranges, you can go into higher states of consciousness, find wisdom, you have levels of thought which are conceptual. But the ideal is to have power within the entire spectrum of frequencies.
Then there is the question of coherency or stability, which has to do with whether the field comes back to a resting state when it's not being challenged. When the field starts to disintegrate or become anti-coherent, it means that things don't go together.You will have frequencies out of sync and the energy does not flow. Now in the lower parts of the body there are more of the lower energy frequencies, in the middle body there are more of the middle frequencies, and in the upper body there are more of the upper. But this is not the same as saying that each chakra has a particular energy. It does not. It has to do with the nature of the field, and as soon as the field becomes anti-coherent things don't flow. And the primary organizer of all of this is human emotion. It is the apex. When we shift human emotion, we can do amazing things with the electromagnetic field.
Q: You've developed instrumentation you call an "AuraMeter" to calibrate all of this. What methods existed prior to the AuraMeter, and what are their inherent limitations?
A: The first method, which has always been around, are people who can see the light aspect of these electromagnetic frequencies, or the human aura, as is depicted in early art work showing the halo around the body and the head of the angels, the Christ, the Buddha, and religious figures. People who access the higher level frequencies can see this. This has been one of the areas that initially validated my electromyography or my AuraMeter. I used eight aura readers, the best I could find in the world. They worked simultaneously to read one person's aura from different parts of the lab where they could not hear what anyone else was saying. I recorded their findings at the same time that I recorded the subject's energy field. I found complete correlation among them with the primary colors of the field's spectrum-red, yellow and blue-and I found very high correlation with the secondary colors. But I found no correlation with colors like puce, chartreuse, or turquoise because those colors are an interpretation of a blend of colors. If we kept the aura readers observing the area of color frequency and nature of the field, they sometimes saw the flow of the field and they saw blockages within it. Blockages are signs of anti-coherency. The problem here with many aura readers is that they want to interpret what the blockages means, and many of them are very fuzzy thinkers; they do not have scientific minds capable of making an accurate diagnosis.
The second method of evaluation involves bio-frequency machines. There are a bunch of them out there, and they take a quantitative sample of the electromagnetic field. But they are only measuring one aspect of electromagnetic field-the power of the energy. They don't measure the frequency range itself, or the flow, coherency, and stability of the field.
Then there are the organ system energy devices. These test the energy of organ systems and some functional systems, which measure if an organ has too little or too much energy. But these devices don't tell us why. They are very good for finding out which organ is sick, but are incapable of telling you what the source of the sickness is, or how your field handles your relationships in the world.
Then there are the Kirlian devices which photograph the subject. Kirlian himself was supposed to have exposed the photographs through his own mind; he didn't have any film in the camera. What he was doing was recording the energy in his mind and then putting in on the tape. That's why it took so long for Kirlian photography to develop. I used to work in Kirlian photography using films. I did it for many years trying to see what was going on. But in order to work with it, you have to introduce an energy field to enhance the radiation of the electromagnetic field. This means you are measuring a secondary response, not the primary one. You're getting something that happened as a result of giving it a shock, by introducing energy. We also found out that there are many things that can change the result, such as the moisture on your fingers or your emotional state. And the measurement comes in the form of a picture so, even though you may get a change in color, for example, you have to interpret what it is. It's not raw data, in other words. Some of the new Kirlian devices are getting better because they are photographing much more of the electromagnetic field and then assigning numbers to it, but the numbers come secondarily. They are not in the data itself.
These are the major limitations to these types of methods, even though all of them do give some indication of the electromagnetic field. The AuraMeter does everything that they can do, but it is far more complex. My basic recording has been 200,000 cycles per second, and I now have an instrument that records to 750,000 cycles per second. That's a heck of a lot of data. And we put it through fractal analysis, which is the only kind that you should ever use on these data. Fractal geometry replaces the old Euclidian geometry which presupposes that the world is made up of triangles, circles, and straight lines, and any piece of information that does not fit into that pattern gets dumped. It gets thrown out. Yet life is not a bunch of straight lines and circles. Anything that is living has dynamic differences and changes, and fractal geometry provides me with a dynamic formula which allows me to look at emotion and change.
My data is handled not by correlations, but by patterns of interrelationships. I look at the pattern in the electromagnetic field using fractal analysis. I look at the patterns of health and biological disturbances. I will soon have software that will enable me to conduct very sophisticated and complex measurements of these patterns. Not the simple things like brainwave patterns, EEG, which only go up to 100 cycles per second, or cardiograms, which only go up 150 cycles per second. The electromagnetic field does not even begin until 400 to 500 cycles per second, which is beyond the range of the nervous system of the human body. I'm talking about atomic and sub-atomic patterns-the transactions between the electromagnetic field as it radiates out from the body and transacts with the electromagnetic field from outside of the body, which is radiating in.
Let me say a little bit about this. If you take a ball and drop it, it will fall because the gravitational pull reacts to its mass. That's a reaction. Then we have the next higher level, which is called an interaction. If you put oxygen with hydrogen, in ordinary circumstances, it creates water. This is a form of interaction. But, when it comes to field interaction you have what is called a transaction, which means the human being can change his field. There are three types of transactions. In the first type, the person can come in contact with an external field of reaction and not even react to that field. People sometimes refer to this as putting a barrier up. The person doesn't interact with the external field at all, or he may put up a total barrier so that nothing ever comes into his field, so there is no transaction. Or the opposite can occur-he can be overwhelmed by the external field, which is a one-way transaction. We're all familiar with the experience of being sapped by another person's energy, for example. The person who is said to be doing the sapping is, in a way, overpowering the other person, and the other person has to be overpowered. That is the transaction, and I have tested this.
Then there is the third type of transaction, in which both fields change and improve. That's the ideal situation, and I've tested this, as well, putting two people together and watching to see if there was a transaction. Sometimes the energy changed, going from one person into the other; one person changed while the other stayed the same. Sometimes there was total barrier. I had them close enough, yet nothing happened. There was a complete lack of transaction. And sometimes I put people together and their fields blended and became more elaborate, as each became stronger. This is the ideal transaction, and is what should happen in all human situations. There should be a beneficial transaction for both people.
What this means, in terms of healing, is that the healers have to start approximately where their patients' fields are to get them to transact. They can't force the energy. This is why some healings are effective, and some are not. It's because the healers are effective at working on some people, and are not effective with other people. This is one of the areas I'm researching. I'm checking techniques and checking the healee’s and the healer’s fields simultaneously, to see if, when the transaction takes place, both fields improve.
Q: You've just explained why not all therapies work for all people.
A: Yes, but we're going to see that certain therapies have to do primarily with the therapists, plus the energy, which is transmissive. We will be testing all of the techniques, and the kinds of fields, and how they respond, so that we will be able to not only diagnose and prescribe the technique that is needed, but also be able to determine which healer will be most effective with each person. And we will do this using the AuraMeter to record their field, and bring it out in fractal images.
We can also display the pattern of disease in fractal images so that even doctors who don't have a background in this area will be able to make a more effective diagnosis, including for conditions where the etiology is unknown. We will have the signature pattern of the major diseases. It is going to take me a while to do this, but eventually I will have the signatures for Alzheimer's, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and so forth, all of the diseases that kill the most people or cause the most serious disturbances. We'll have those patterns and the signature of the person and eventually we'll be able to show that, if we change the person's signature or electromyographic pattern, we can expect a cure. The disease or dysfunction will go away. This is the future of medicine. When a patient comes in to see his doctor, the first thing that will be done is to record his individual signature. All diagnosis and treatment will start from there. We have to have the energy field of the person. We have to have the energy field of the disease or illness. We have to have the energy field of the energy which is being introduced, and then we have to have the energy field of the therapist, because the therapist is the part of the transaction.
I have recorded the signatures of healers who have healed pain. They have a particular frequency spectrum in their signature. They can walk in a room and merely by their presence they can stop pain. I have others that, if they come into the room, they're going to create the pain with their frequency. So, when we come into the ideal alternative medicine hospital, every single person in that room who treats people is going to have to have his field checked.
Spiritual healing is another area I will be researching in more detail. It's been stated that if you pray over a person, they tend to get better. This is an oversimplification. It depends on who prays and from what level, or frequency, they pray. I've recorded people who pray and pray and pray, but they are praying from such a low level that nothing happens. They don't have the amplitude and the necessary frequency to bring in the spiritual healing energy, which is unconditional love. Unconditional love is coherency with great power. If you don't have coherency, you can talk about unconditional love, but you don't really know what it is.

The Link Between Heart Disease and Waist and Belly Size
When it comes to protecting yourself from heart disease, you need to take a look at the size of your waist. That’s the latest finding of researchers studying the risk factors that contribute to heart disease.
For years, physicians and patients alike have relied on overall body weight and the body-mass index (a calculation of the body's fat to lean muscle ration) as reliable measures for determining a person's current health. Physicians also rely on both weight and BMI readings to help assess patients’ future health risks. Weight and BMI measurements are also commonly used to determine patients’ current and future risk for developing heart disease. That's because both weight and BMI measurements provide accurate indicators of how much fat is carried on the body. The greater amount of fat, it was believed, the greater the risk of developing heart disease, as well as various other chronic health conditions, including cancer and diabetes. According to a new research study, however, how much fat a person carries is not as important as where in the body that fat is primarily stored. What researchers who conducted the study found is that the real danger zone for stored fat is in the waist and belly.
The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and published in the August 21, 2007 Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), examined data from the still ongoing Dallas Heart Study, which is evaluating the various risk factors for heart disease. The study’s researchers then worked with over 2,700 participants between the ages of 30 and 65, all of whom had completed a general health survey, had their weight and BMI measured, provided blood and urine samples, and had their hips and waistlines measured. The participants then received noninvasive imaging tests, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure their levels of atherosclerosis, and electron-beam-conducted tomography (EBCT) to measure the amount of calcium in their coronary arteries.
583 of the study participants were found to have calcium deposits in their arteries, and 976 were found to have arterial plaque. Both calcium deposits and arterial plaque are significant risk factors for heart disease. The researchers then analyzed various other factors related to the participants with calcium deposits and arterial plaque, including their age, blood pressure levels, cholesterol levels, overall medical history, and whether or not there was a presence of any disease conditions among them, including diabetes. Taking all of these considerations into account, the researchers determined that the shape of a person’s body, especially his or her belly, is a more accurate indicator of, and greater risk factor for, the presence of calcium deposits and arterial plaque.
Specifically, what the researchers found was that the if a person’s belly is wider than his or her hips – a measurement known as the “waist-to-hips ratio,” or WHR – there is a much greater risk of calcium deposits and arterial plaque, and therefore a greater risk for heart attack, stroke, and other types of heart disease.
The relationship between WHR and heart disease risk was further confirmed when the researchers separated the study participants into five groups, ranging from the highest to lowest WHR measurements. This revealed that those with the highest WHR has twice the risk of having calcium deposits, and three times the risk of arterial plaque, compared to those with the lowest WHR measurements. This was true even among participants whose overall weight was within normal ranges that previously were considered safe. So long as they had a higher than normal WHR, they were at greater risk for heart disease. According to James de Lemos, MD, one of the researchers who conducted the study, “Even a small pot belly puts us at higher risk when compared to a flat tummy.”
Alarming as the study’s findings are, they also provide you with a simple way of assessing our risk for developing heart disease that can easily be performed at home. All you have to do is get a tape measure and measure the circumference around your waist and hips. If the measurement for your waist is higher than that for your hips, you need to take action to reduce the width of your waist and belly. Such action steps include adopting a healthier diet and increasing the amount of exercise and physical activity you get during the week. Also be sure to get an adequate amount of restful sleep every night – at least 7 to 8 hours – since additional research has found that lack of sleep can also cause fat stores to increase in the body.

Self-Care Tips for Dealing With Kidney Stones
Kidney stones can form anywhere in the entire urinary tract (kidney, bladder, the ducts in-between, or the ureters), and primarily occur because of calcium (oxalate) and/or phosphate that has come out of solution. If left untreated, the stones can block these areas of the urinary tract, causing pain, bleeding, and other problems.
Symptoms of kidney stones include sudden and excruciating back pain that may come and go and that often radiates from the back across the abdomen and into the genital area or inner thighs. This pain can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, abdominal bloating, possible blood in the urine, pain on urination, and chills and fever. Stones in the urinary tract can be one of the most painful conditions, similar to the pain of childbirth.
In some cases, there may be no symptoms, depending on where the stone is located and its size.
What To Consider:
One in every 1,000 adults is hospitalized each year in the US because of kidney stones. Kidney stones also tend to be recurring, typically reforming within seven years.
Kidney stones are more common during the summer, possibly due to concentrated urine caused by increased sweating and insufficient fluid intake. In general, mild chronic dehydration can play a role in the development of kidney stones. Chronic stress can also play a role. In addition, kidney stones may be due to genetics. If one parent had kidney stones, there is an increased risk in his or her children. Cadmium poisoning may also play a role and needs to be considered if other treatment methods fail.
Note: Kidney stones that are high in calcium may be a signal of hyperparathyroidism (excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone).
Self-Care
Diet: Diet alone cannot get rid of the stones. Higher-than-normal levels of oxalate related to a diet high in oxalic containing foods, such as rhubarb, spinach, leafy vegetables, and coffee, can promote kidney stone formation. High levels of dietary refined carbohydrates can also cause kidney stones. Sugar stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, causing increased calcium excretion through the urine. Other dietary factors that cause increased calcium excretion in the urine and promote stone formation are increased intakes of coffee, colas, acid-forming diets (such as high protein and grains), insufficient water intake, and excessive salt consumption. Soft drinks containing phosphoric acid can also encourage the formation of kidney stones and should be completely eliminated.
The most important dietary actions are to increase your intake of pure filtered water, fiber, and green vegetables, and reduce refined sugar consumption. Foods that are helpful in decreasing kidney stone formation include cranberries, black cherries, rice bran, kombucha tea. In addition to avoiding sugar, also avoid or reduce your intake of salt, dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, refined carbohydrates, nuts, chocolate, pepper, and animal proteins.
Nutritional Supplementation: Helpful nutrients include: magnesium, vitamin B6, vitamin C ( keep your total daily intake below 6 grams to avoid increasing oxalate formation), vitamin A, proteolytic enzymes (away from meals), raw kidney glandulars, fat-soluble chlorophyll, lipoic acid, and the amino acids glutamic acid, lysine, and methionine.
Aromatherapy: Hyssop and juniper essential oils can be helpful.
Ayurveda: Cumin, coriander, and fennel tea. Drink one cup three times a day.
Herbs: Combine the tinctures of gravel root, cornsilk, wild yam, and blackhaw in equal parts and take one teaspoon of this mixture three times a day. Or drink one cup of an infusion of nettle three times a day. Other useful herbs include uva ursi, horsetail, and dandelion root.
Homeopathy: Berberis, and Sarsaparilla are both useful homeopathic remedies.
Hydrotherapy: Constitutional hydrotherapy of alternating hot and cold water packs applied two to five times weekly, and a hot pack applied to the abdomen and lower back several times a day can help relieve and prevent flare-ups of pain.
Juice Therapy: The following juices can help stimulate the overall health of the urinary tract and potentially flush out the stones: lemon juice; carrot, beet, and cucumber juice with a dash of garlic and/or horseradish; and/or cranberry and watermelon juice.
