Introduction

EarthCalm products are designed to protect the human nervous system from the hazards of manmade electromagnetic fields, which surround everyone. They do this by enhancing a person’s connection to the earth’s electromagnetic field, which allows the dissipation of stress producing currents. This pilot study shows the effects of the Scalar Resonator with the Nova on two indicators of health-heart rate variability (HRV) and and the biofield, measured by the gas discharge visualization (GDV) camera.

These tests show that wearing the EarthCalm Scalar Resonator with the Nova does improve health.

Methods

Two different tests were used to assess overall health, HRV (www.nerveexpress.com) and GDV (http://gdvcamera.com) before and after wearing the EarthCalm Scalar Resonator with the Nova. Following a baseline measurement, the subject began wearing the EarthCalm Resonator with the Nova and repeated measures were taken over the course of eight hours (1, 2, 4 and 8 hours). Data is presented for the time points that produced optimal results.

Technologies Utilized

Heart Rate Variability

Heart rate variability refers to the beat-to-beat alterations in heart rate. It was developed over 40 years ago and has the ability to evaluate the impact of any intervention or activity and to detect the early signs of pathological development or functional disorders, which would not be revealed by routine physical examination. Therefore, HRV is a useful assessment of the general health of an individual. It is a quantitative assessment of the relative balance of the two branches of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which controls most physiological functions.

The algorithms used by Nerve-Express have been developed and tested for over twenty years through studies involving more than twenty thousand patients. The algorithms generate two values that represent the physical fitness, the level of the functioning of the physiologic systems and the adaptability of the individual.

Gas Discharge Visualization

Images were taken with a GDV camera, technology developed in Russia. The images are computer generated representations of the biofield analyzed from biophoton corona discharge patterns produced by high-voltage electrophotography. The GDV assesses the subtle energy available for metabolic processes in the body. The larger the area of color around the body and the more filled in it is, the better the overall state of health.

Results

As seen in Figure 1, wearing the EarthCalm Scalar Resonator with the Nova for one hour produced a nearly two-fold improvement in the ratio of low frequency to high frequency wave patterns. This ratio indicates a reduction in the relative activity of the sympathetic to parasympathetic nervous systems after wearing the EarthCalm Scalar Resonator Pendant and Nova. A ratio number greater than one shows a parasympathetic dominance, which is a less stressed and thus a healthier state of the nervous system.

Figure 1. The baseline low frequency to high frequency ratio is increased nearly 2-fold by wearing the EarthCalm Scalar Resonator and Nova.

As seen in Figure 2, the EarthCalm Pendant and Nova improve both the physiologic systems function and the adaptability, as measured by Nerve Express HRV equipment. The lower the numbers, the better the score. Both scores are improved by the EarthCalm Pendant and Nova.

Figure 2. The overall fitness level is improved by the EarthCalm Pendant and Nova. Both measures of fitness in this test (adaptability and level of functioning of the physiological systems) are enhanced.

As shown in Figure 3, the EarthCalm Scalar Resonator and Nova improve the biofield. The image on the left was taken before wearing EarthCalm Pendants and the one on the right was taken 8 hours after wearing EarthCalm Pendant and Nova. The area of the subtle energy field increased from 22,811 to 26,952 and the biofield is stronger. The symmetry rose from 89% to 96%., which shows increased coherence in the body and this is related to optimal bodily functions.

Conclusions

This pilot study shows a substantial improvement with two different technologies that assess general health and fitness after wearing the EarthCalm Scalar Resonator and Nova.

The improvements in the HRV measurement are dramatic, showing that the EarthCalm Pendant and Nova increase both the overall physiological systems functions and the adaptability.

The value of the HRV measure is that it extends beyond cardiovascular function-it is the best indicator of the integrity of physiological processes in the human body and thus, general well-being.

The significant increase in the subtle energy field after wearing EarthCalm Scalar Resonator Pendant and Nova demonstrates that it greatly improves one’s energetic field related to health and well-being.

Both of these measures show that EarthCalm products have an influence on overall health and well being. Further studies need to be conducted to explore and confirm this effect in depth.

Quality of Life Research Testing of the EarthCalm Scalar Home EMF Protection System

Research Completed December 2009

Summary:

Numerous studies have shown that EMR in our environment has a detrimental impact on health. EarthCalm undertook a pilot study to determine the impact of the Home Protection System on common Quality of Life indicators. An internet survey tool was designed using a combination of the standardized scientifically validated SF 36 Health Survey and several other qualitative research tools to assess quality of life parameters in the study population.

The EarthCalm study showed the Scalar Home Protection System significantly improved a number of Quality of Life indicators. Some were not impacted or experienced significantly enough to draw conclusions, but none of the Quality of Life indicators got worse. Respondents consistently reported improvement in their perceived level of energy as well as decreased stress, fatigue and improved sleep.

Other body symptoms such as body aches, pain, numbness and tingling in extremities, cardiac irregularities, gastrointestinal distress and skin rashes also showed overall improvement. The significant improvements in mental health issues and mood indicators such as feelings of elation, focus and concentration, serenity and calmness also point to some of the more subtle symptoms of chronic microwave radiation stress on the body’s nervous system which adversely impacts these health indicators. These outcomes lend striking support to the claim that the Earthcalm Home Protection System positively impacts calmness and alleviates stress in the home environment, which may allow the body to heal itself of chronic stress and neurological disorders.

Background:

A pilot research study using selected scientifically validated qualitative research tools, specifically components of the SF-36 Quality of Life survey tool, the HIT-6 (headache impact test), Mood Indicator tool, Pain Intensity VAS (visual analog score) and Sleep Quantitative Index tools were combined into one questionnaire which was administered to all clients who indicated an interest in completing the questionnaire. A month after purchasing the Scalar Home Protection System, the same respondents completed the very same questionnaire. The SF Form 36 is a commonly used, scientifically validated qualitative research tool to evaluate Quality of Life parameters. It is a multi-purpose, short-form health survey that can be used with or without biologic markers. It is a generic measure, as opposed to one that targets a specific age, disease, or treatment group.

Accordingly, the SF-36 has proven useful in surveys of general and specific populations, comparing the relative burden of diseases, and in differentiating the health benefits produced by a wide range of different treatments. Its internal reliability and validity have been established after rigorous scientific review. It is designed to assess numerous quality of life indicators such as stress, fatigue, anxiety, pain, dizziness etc.

Translations of the SF-36 have been the subject of more than 500 publications involving investigators in 22 countries. Ten or more studies have been published from 13 countries.

In addition to the SF-36, several more in depth tools were used to assess specific symptoms associated with electrosensitivity to elucidate whether participants received benefit from the product being tested. These tools included the HIT-6 (headache impact test), the Sleep Qualitative Index Study tool and the Mood Assessment Indicator tool.

The HIT-6 has good reliability and validity for measuring patients’ subjective experience and the impact of headaches on health related Quality of Life. The MOS Sleep Qualitative Index Scale was originally developed in the context of the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS). It was intended to assess the extent of sleep problems, since disturbed sleep has a major impact on quality of life and is often a common symptom of many other chronic conditions, such as chronic pain and mood disorders.

The Mood Indicator tool (PHQ9P) was developed by Quality of Life researchers and has been used extensively for assessing and categorizing mental health issues and for diagnostic purposes.

The study design was developed and overseen by Grace Galzagorry ANP MSN, Associate Clinical professor at UCSF and administered by Earthcalm personnel to study participants via internet. It was intended as an initial pilot study to systematically assess the more challenging aspects of qualitative markers in one’s life which may or may not have biologic equivalents and that are often associated with electrosensitivity. Electrosensitivity is a complex of symptoms rather than one single symptom complex and affects the body’s energetic field in a myriad of ways making its study admittedly more challenging, especially by biologic means exclusively.

The purpose of this study was to collect data about the exact symptoms that may or may not improve using the Scalar Home Protection System. While self selection bias is apparent in this study design, it is our intention to progress using the data obtained to develop more sophisticated and topic appropriate research methodologies.

Methodology:

Fifteen subjects were recruited. Recruitment criteria included that the participant had just purchased a Home Protection System and was wiling to fill out the questionnaire. Study participants were rewarded with an Eco-tec upon completion of the second questionnaire one month later. No other factors in their environment were controlled for in any way by participation in the study. Standard exposure to the EMF environment was assumed and no attempt was made to alter the EMF environment in the home.

All EARTHCALM clients purchasing a Home Protection System within a six month period were sent a letter via internet introducing the study participation option and those who chose to participate completed the first questionnaire. All survey participants were given a 3-page survey to complete with instructions included on the survey instrument itself. No other contact occurred between EARTHCALM personnel and study participants.

The study author had no contact whatsoever with the study participants at any time during the trial period. Survey results were sent to the author via internet and the results were tabulated. Given the pilot study format for this study, no attempt was made to ensure double blinding or control for any other variables.

Fifteen participants total completed both questionnaires and were therefore included in the study. No one was excluded due to incomplete results as all study participants understood the survey tool and completed the survey accurately. Study participants ranged in age from 20-76 yrs of age with 55 as the median age. Four of the participants were male and eleven were female. Three of the study participants self identified as being electrosensitive, which is the main target audience for Earthcalm products, although 12/15 participants also indicated concerns about the issue of electromagnetic radiation in the environment, pointing to the general population’s concerns about this issue.

Results and Discussion:

The following table summarizes the results found in this study. The final analysis excluded the following symptoms because less than half of the study participants reported having a problem with these symptoms: skin is bluish in color, blurred vision, wheezing, anxiety, seizures and abdominal pain. Of note, while anxiety wasn’t self reported as being an issue earlier in the survey, more than half the study participants reported having terror and panic attacks which responded favorably to the study intervention.

Therefore, one could conclude that anxiety, in its numerous manifestations, is a significant parameter to continue studying. The significance of the remainder of these symptoms, both for the purposes of this study as well as for any further research on Earthcalm products, will be considered negligible and will not be further studied. All other symptoms were experienced by half or more of the respondents. All symptoms are based on 0 = not experiencing symptom to 10 = severely experiencing symptom. The intervention consisted of implementing the use of the Home Protection System in the home for 30 days.

The trends here indicate an improvement in overall sleep patterns that could be strengthened in future studies on this extremely important Quality of Life indicator.

Conclusions:

The results of this pilot study show definitive improvement in some quality of life indicators and dramatic improvement in some parameters especially those parameters having to do with mood and relaxation of chronic nervous system stress. The underlying strategy in pilot studies is to cast a large net without bias to collect data systematically in order to determine the benefits, if any, of the study intervention. Despite the obvious self selection bias in the study design, that objective was met and perhaps even exceeded. Some of the noteworthy findings are:

· Nervous system symptoms such as neuropathy improved by 15%,

· Pain, muscle aches and joint pains improved by 15%

· GI symptoms probably related to nervous system issues improved by 10-15%

· Mood issues such as feeling elated, serene and calm improved by 20%

· Mental health symptoms such as depression and stress improved by 10%

· Symptoms of stress, fatigue and feeling tired improved by 10%

Many of the clinical health issues addressed through the Quality of Life tool assessments occur at a very high rate in our Western culture so any intervention that might ameliorate these symptoms would be well worth considering. Given that an improvement was seen in almost all parameters, it could be attributed to placebo effect although many variables are hard to control for in this study environment. However, the dramatic improvement in some of the study parameters, most notably around mental health and mood issues, would certainly invite further study using a control group.

The positive outcomes of this pilot study pave the way for further scientific investigation of EarthCalm products. A model using a combination of Quality of Life indicators plus some reliable physiologic markers designed to measure stress responses in the body might be an interesting avenue. Quality of Life indicators such as sleep, pain, fatigue, mood and stress symptoms have historically been more challenging to assess and to address in the clinical arena but nothing impacts quality of life more than these symptoms. Therefore, any intervention that positively impacts these issues, even in a selected group of participants, is noteworthy and certainly warrants further investigation.

SCIO research testing of EarthCalm Scalar Resonator Pendant

Research Completed 2009

Summary:

Numerous studies have shown that EMR in our environment has a detrimental impact on health. EarthCalm undertook a study, using SCIO technology, to determine the impact of the galaxy resonator pendant on stress responses in the human body. This study showed the resonator significantly improved the energy flow in a majority of the 22 meridians tested in all subjects. This improvement lends striking support to the claim that EarthCalm products release the body’s meridian system, which allows the body to heal itself of chronic stress disorders.
.
Methodology:

A research project using the SCIO Biofeedback machine was conducted by Carmen Herinomon who is a Certified Biofeedback Technician. The SCIO is a sophisticated biofeedback system, which is designed for stress detection and stress reduction. The device gathers bio-energetic data from the body via fifty-five parameters simultaneously. This happens at biological speed, which is 1/100th second for each stimulus. This means that thousands of items can be screened for reaction from the body in a few minutes.

Five subjects were recruited. Recruitment criteria required that the test subjects had standard exposure to the EMF environment and no attempt was made to alter the EMF environment at the test site.

All test clients were given a 3 minute test exposing each client to approximately 10000 energetic signatures and recording their reactions. Stressed areas are determined by numbers that are below or above standards. In regular sessions these numbers, plus the reaction to 10000 items in the matrix, are indicators used to educate the body to return to standard values by retraining the body to the corrected frequencies.

Five participants were evaluated, ranging in age from 23 years to 65 years with 42 as the median age. 2 of the participants were male and 3 were female.

Results and Discussion:

Brain wave pattern reactions in all 5 people tested show improvement when tested wearing the Earthcalm Resonator. Improvement of wave pattern is determined by a number that indicates deviation from “Normal.” The fact that all 5 clients showed improvement would indicate statistical significance.

Most striking is that with regard to the meridians, 4 out of 5 clients showed great improvement in 9 to 12 meridians (out of 22 total). The one individual that did not show improvement is someone who has been diagnosed by medical professionals with autoimmune disorder. This person complained that the energy of the resonator was “too strong”. After increasing the time wearing the Earthcalm resonator and being tested a third time, there was an improvement in 6 of the meridians while the first time there was 1.

The one client who did not immediately show stress reduction had a diagnosis of autoimmune disorder, thus confirming the EarthCalm recommendation that clients who are immune deficient use the 3 step Scalar System for a more gradual introduction of the EarthCalm products. The EarthCalm Resonator is equal in strength to the EarthCalm Scalar Home Protection System, which provides the same degree of EMF protection to everyone in the home.
