Bicom Multisoft One year's experience using Bicom Multisoft

Dr. med. Paul-Gerhard Valeske, Kempten

INTRODUCTION

Computer technology is nowadays widely used by

those of us working in "naturopathy" and "com-plementary medicine": BicOm functions are con-

trolled by computer; electro-acupuncture and test-

ing for allergies, toxic, miasmatic and other

stresses can be detected and treated electronically. Has computer technology lived up to its promise?

Ideally, I would simply end my paper here by

saying: "Yes, Bicom Multisoft works to my and my patients' satisfaction." There is not enough

time during this presentation to give you a compre-

hensive insight into the functional features of this software. I will attempt therefore just to cover the

highlights. You can obtain detailed information

and training in how to use the software at special

seminars and workshops run by REGUMED.

WHAT IS BICOM MULTISOFT?

Bicom Multisoft is a piece of computer software

with multiple functions which relieves us

therapists of some of our customary work, particularly certain unpopular or time-consuming

tasks such as recording results which previously

had to be done by hand.

The software consists of two main programs:

"Bicom Pilot" for controlling the BICOM and electro-acupuncture measurement and

"BICOM Test" for comprehensive testing.

Both programs share a convenient common data management system where patients' personal

details, case histories, test and therapy data are filed and can be retrieved as required. A fee

invoicing facility has of course also been included

which will be particularly appreciated by those offering bioresonance therapy as an "IGeL"

service.

Bicom Pilot

The "Bicom Pilot" section of the program lives

up to its name. It enables the BicOm to be con-

trolled fully both for therapy and electro-acupunc-

ture measurement.

In addition to triggering individual therapy pro-

grams, programs can be linked in chains of up to 10 sections. You will be aware yourselves that the

Bicom allows just three programs to be linked, yet

a number of therapies contain many more individ-ual stages. Now you can run these all "in one go".

As well as calling programs up by number, you

now have the option of searching by indication and selecting appropriate combinations. As a Bicom

2000 user, you do not even need to worry about

the correct electrode position. Previous therapy

sessions are saved so that at any time you can eas-ily see what was done when.

The electro-acupuncture test section is struc-

tured in a very comprehensive, clear and informa-tive manner. You decide whether you want to

measure just conductivity or quadrants or conduct

"complete measurement". The program takes you through the successive stages. Measurement points

are indicated visually which is particularly helpful

for beginners. But experienced users can also ben-

efit from this. You know the situation; you are in-terrupted by a question from your receptionist, a

prescription needs signing, an urgent telephone

call comes in: "Where was I?" With this system, the measurement point remains on the screen and

I can carry on from where I left off. The measure-

ment data are of course stored.

Data can be analysed according to a number of criteria. You can take a look at the quadrant mea-

surements to obtain a rough overview of how en-

ergy is distributed within the body. "Complete measurement" shows all the readings in a clear

bar chart and also compares them with other mea-

surements from the same patient so that you can identify developments.

Presentation in the form of pie charts is ex-tremely useful. Here it is possible to display re-

sults comparing the right and left side of the body

in superimposed graphs and also to compare two

different measurements from the same patient. Disorders can often be identified by differences in

EAP readings for the two sides of the body.

The other option for displaying information within the pie chart is to compare, within the same

chart, measurements taken at different times. In this way progress can be recorded.

Obviously this data analysis can all be printed

out — as a record for you, the therapist, and for the patient to take with them. Nothing impresses many

patients more than a computer reading and a print

out of their information.

WONT Test

The "Bicom Test" is the more complex and, in my

view, more interesting part of the software. The complete pre-test, "run" in a structured manner,

takes just half an hour (with biotensor or kinesiol-

ogy) even if you test all the 1700 plus substances in the basic test. Never before have you had so

much information at such speed. However, the

program has not totally removed the need for us to

think and testing without the intervention of the therapist is not (yet?) possible. Yet this is also an

important part of our work — giving the patient our

personal attention; this is not techno medicine.

However, a word on the technical aspect: the

substance frequencies have been "recorded" or

"scanned in" using a special electronic technique and stored on the CD-ROM or hard disk. The fre-

quency is thus fixed permanently compared with

the traditional test substances. Natural substances

or energetic preparations vary due to local irradia-tion (including local magnetic fields) or ageing

processes. When testing, the program automati-

cally controls the Bicom according to pre-set pa-rameters. Individually adjustable group tests are

provided for automatic testing. For therapy, you

switch to "Bicom Pilot", enter the therapy pro.-

gram and the rest takes place automatically.

"Cause-related testing" is possible: this is what

you, as experienced bioresonance therapists, have

also done in the past with your test sets after re-stricting yourselves to certain areas based on case

history — only it is now much quicker. You can

very quickly focus on "basic conditions" at the appropriate point in the program: geopathy, elec-

tromagnetic smog, radioactivity, toxic stress, aller-

gic stress, immunological conditions including

childhood diseases and vaccinations, viral and

bacterial conditions, mycoses and also miasmatic

conditions (so-called hereditary toxins). In this way you obtain one or more "focal points" for this

patient from which a highly specific search can be

continued.

The second route leads via "diagnosis- or indi-

cation-related testing". This is where particularly those of you who have not yet ventured very far

into holistic medicine will initially feel more com-

fortable. Conventional diagnoses can be made or, in the case of uncertainty, confirmed or rejected. I

should like to suggest almost provocatively: there

is no other diagnostic method in the world in which

Crohn's disease, Colitis ulcerosa or any other dis-ease, for example, can be reliably diagnosed within

five minutes without disturbing the patient. You

very quickly discover — speed is an issue here too — where, for example, focal stresses are located:

chronic tonsillitis, chronic sinusitis, root-treated

tooth, etc. So this is also a test section which will

be much appreciated by us old timers. I can reveal to you now that you can use the test frequencies

as well as the corresponding nosode preparations

in your therapy.

You can use these starting points to search

specifically for individual disturbing or damaging

substances, allergens or pathogens. You will find the familiar test sets after Dr. Schumacher are in-

cluded although they have been considerably ex-

tended. This is particularly true of the toxins and

pathogens area. One very important point to note is the heading "inoculations" which contains all

the important standard inoculations. I know of on-

ly a few children with neurodermatitis who have not been vaccinated!

The highlight is a test program which allows

you to identify priorities. So when you have col-lected all the stresses, regardless what type, you

can carry out a "priority test" for your patient. This

applies overall and also to the particular therapy

session. This means that at any time you know which substance is causing the patient most stress

"at that particular time" and should be treated

next. This means rather than "probably it's this or that now", it's a definite "today we'll treat this or

that". This is a step forward as regards certainty

for the patient which will also have an impact on

time, both yours and your patient's (and their wallet too).

You can use the test frequencies straight away in

therapy. In the period of well over a year in

which I have been using the software, there has

been no difference in the effectiveness of therapy compared with the normal test sets or native prod-

ucts.

It almost goes without saying that the ortho-molecular test set after Dr. Lange has been includ-

ed. More than that: so-called "formulae" have

been stored. These are frequency patterns of rem-

edies and drug mixtures. There are also homeo-pathic high potencies, Bach flowers, Schiissler

salts, phytotherapeutic agents, etc. These formulae

are not actually given to the patient but passed on as information by computer and Bicom. I am sure

you have already done this with natural remedies

too and it works just as well here. The "formulae" respond extremely well, especially if they are os-

cillated on BRT minerals, the Bicom chip or sim-

ply just water and given to the patient to take home

with them. Allopathic remedies which are of course primarily included for testing and eliminating in-

tolerances or allergies can also be used in this way.

I am thinking particularly of analgesics here. Just one "click" and Ai output is converted to "A out-

put".

And if that is still not enough, there is also the "complete test" option. The basic module ("cause-

related" and "diagnosis- or indication-related"

testing) contains around 1700 substances while

almost 6000 frequency patterns are stored in the "complete test". The chances of finding the cause

of disease, even with deep-rooted miasmatic con-

ditions, are virtually 100 % and consequently the chances of recovery or healing are also good.

Therapy data are always stored when exiting the program so that you always know what was

treated or tested when. Data can be printed out for

the index card or the patient. Here too it is always astonishing how impressed people are by computer

printouts with explanatory notes in which the

priorities are highlighted in red.

PROOF IN PRACTICE

To sum up, I should like to repeat my opening re-

mark: "Yes, Bicom Multisoft works to my and my patients' satisfaction."

All the program components are clear and easy to use. All the Bicom's functions can be controll-

ed with this software and it is much quicker look-

ing for therapy programs or program chains with endogenous frequency patterns by this method

than with the manual.

Compared with the test ampoule method, Mul-tisoft makes the job easier and 30 % quicker and

also produces better results. This is achieved through the program's structuring and the possi-

bility of testing automatically. The "priority test"

also constitutes an additional huge benefit for over-all therapy as regards the progress and duration of

therapy.

Therapeutic results can be compared with those from conventional treatment. I presented some sta-

tistics on this at the last colloquium.

For the electro-acupuncturists among us, the

program offers a means of storing and presenting measurement parameters and readings clearly, al-

lowing the cause of disease and progress of therapy

to be compared in various ways.

However, in all your enthusiasm for this so-

phisticated technology, you should never forget that we are dealing, not with objects for testing or

treating, but with people. With people, who have a

soul, who have emotions, and in whom disease can

develop precisely at this level which eludes test-ing and measurement. Use the time you save to talk

to your patients, to give them your attention so that

you get to know this aspect of the disorder too.
