SAM.x - Coherence Meter for Physiological and Psychological Monitoring

1. What does a Coherence Meter do?
Coherence Meters are measuring instruments with a high level of sensitivity. They indicate each and every influence on living organisms, out of which the major application results; neither for diagnoses nor for treatment, but rather to monitor the effectiveness and long-term effects of any therapy.

2. What is the key benefit of Coherence Meters?
In some ways, the Coherence Meter is like the conventional clinical thermometer every medical practitioner needs and every family should have. Clinical thermometers monitor the effectiveness of therapies or remedies in acute states. However the Coherence Meter doesn't only have the same function in chronic states and functional disorders, but in psychological disorders as well.

3. Which major user groups benefit from Coherence Meters and which benefits do they have?
Medical doctors i.e. therapists, who work in the area of psychosomatic medicine and also natural healers, gain objective feedback on the effect of their measures in direct conjunction with therapies. Patients can monitor their condition at home. Health conscious people can observe what serves their health and what doesn't. Everyone finds out something about their own personal risk of contracting a chronic illness. Professional institutions (for autogenic training, wellness centres, etc.) visualise for their course participants, i.e. clients, the quantitative benefits of their offers. Professional athletes, their trainers, pilots, and similar groups optimise their training methods.

4. Do other methods or medical products on the market supply comparable benefits?
There are thousands of medical instruments for diagnoses and treatment. A Coherence Meter is the only one which specializes in monitoring the state of a body-mind system and the effectiveness of therapy to improve the state of the body-mind system in a holistic way.

5. Which measuring instruments apply the same or a similar principle? What is their practical application?
As complementary medicines are gaining popularity, many instruments based on the electronic measurement of the acupuncture system have appeared on the medical instrument market all over the world. All of them are conceived either for diagnosis or for treatment based on reductionistic approaches, similar to the thinking of orthodox western medicine. None of them is like a Coherence Meter, which is specifically geared at the holistic and scientific monitoring of the correlation between body and mind.

6. What does the scientific term "Coherence" or "coherent" signify in biophysics?
The coherent state of a living system means that every element in a system retains its independence, yet, at the same time, is able to interact with others.

7. What is the philosophy or scientific concept of measuring coherence in living organisms?
It is really a big challenge to modern science to quantitatively measure the degree of coherence in a living organism containing virtually infinite elements. However, the modern Coherence Meter has, for the first time, solved this great problem. This is possible due to the recognition of the structure of energy distribution in living organisms when electromagnetic waves superimpose each other, that means when their amplitudes add or subtract themselves and also by means of exact mathematical calculation of the statistical values of the this system.

8. Why is coherence "enough" for a healthy life?
It is a "necessary" condition for a healthy life that every organ in a body works well. In the same way, it is also the "necessary" condition for an orchestra to perform a piece of successful symphony that every musical instrument in the orchestra works well. It is impossible to perform a symphony successfully if there is no co-operation amongst all instruments and musicians in the orchestra, even if every music instrument in the orchestra works perfectly. Therefore, coherence is the "sufficient condition", namely "enough", for a healthy life like a successful symphony.
The success of oriental holistic medicine provides essential evidence for the correctness of this starting point. All traditional oriental therapies have only ONE objective: Harmony and Balance within the living organism. In scientific terminology this means: coherence!

9. What is the scientific background of Measuring Coherence?
One of the 1977 Nobel Prize winners, Prof. Ilya Prigogine, put forward the new concept of "dissipative structure" which represented a revolutionary change in structure theories for science. In the last few decades, scientific research has revealed that dynamic and invisible dissipative structures exist in living organisms. The dissipative structure of electromagnetic fields in living organisms is mainly composed of electromagnetic standing waves, which come from all cells, tissues and organs of the organism. The calculation of the measurement data from the dissipative structure can indicate the degree of coherence of the organism.

10. Does a Coherence Meter also help to determine the effects and long-term effectiveness of pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements?
Yes, just as every other influence on the energy distribution in the dissipative structure of the electromagnetic field is determined, the effect on coherence i.e. incoherence can be reliably proved.

11. What correlation/dependency does exist between illustrations at the display and specific illnesses?
The answer to this question is comparable to this one: "Which concrete illnesses can be deduced by means of the medical thermometer and the measuring of (higher) body temperature?"
On the one side there is experience that in cases of certain illnesses characteristics repeat themselves on the display and thus match definite symptoms. On the other side, illustrations cannot ascertain concrete illnesses. The Coherence Meter only seeks to register conditions i.e. changes of conditions and, in the interest of the suffering patient, wants to find out what assists the healing process and what doesn't.
