Abstract
The field of energetic medicine began generations ago when medical doctors and
scientists found an electrical correlate for what Rheinold Voll described, in the
Nineteen Fifties, as medication testing on meridian points. These points showed
electrical variability through resistance when a patient was exposed to various
homoeopathically prepared substances. William Nelson, the developer of the
Quantum Xrroid Consciousness Interface (QXCI) Device, calls this phenomenon
electrophysiological reactivity.
The developers of the QXCI device claim that the QXCI is able to connect deeply
with the energies and tissues of the patient’s body, mind and spirit and test his or
her reactions or “reactivity” to over eight thousand items. The QXCI then offers a
wealth of software programs that make suggestions from many different
modalities on balancing and reintegrating the body, mind and spirit of the patient.
The QXCI device and software claims to analyse and balance stresses of many
types including: toxicity, trauma, deficiency, perverse energy, pathogens,
allergy, heredity and mental factors (Nelson, 2003).
The results of research published by Nelson (1994b) and Nagy (1994b) showed
that there was a correlation of over eighty percent between QXCI reactivity
readings and conventional diagnostic tests and analysis for various infections and
blood chemicals. As a result of this research the QXCI is recommended by the
developers as a useful pre-diagnostic screen.
The study aimed to determine whether there was any correlation between prediagnosed
malaria, tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus subjects and QXCI
reactivity readings.
Reactivity readings were taken of twenty healthy individuals and twenty prediagnosed
malaria, tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus subjects. Reactivity
readings were analysed for increased reactivity to Plasmodium, Mycobacterium
and glucose.
Results showed no significant statistical relationship between the conventional
diagnostic tests for malaria, tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus and the QXCI
vi
reactivity readings. The Predictive Value Theory tests of Sensitivity, Specificity
and Efficiency as well as the Chi-Square Test were used to obtain statistical
results.
The results are not conclusive and further investigation into the use of the QXCI
as a pre-diagnostic tool is required.
