Harry Oldfield – Inventor of Electro-Scanning and Polycontrast Interference Photography

Interview by Jane Solomon

Over the last 20 years, biologist Harry Oldfield has developed innovative systems that measure and treat the subtle fields of energy around living things. Jane Solomon talks to him about his ideas, inventions and techniques.

Can you tell us about your methods for measuring these subtle fields of energy?
I have developed two methods. The first is an offshoot from my early work with Kirlian photography. It’s called the Electro-Scanning Method, or ESM, where we obtain a three-dimensional reference field around the body and are able to measure the field quantitatively. The second, called the PIP Scanner, provides a semi-qualitative analysis of the energy field. It records light interference patterns, that is, how ambient light interacts with subtle energy fields.
My interest in Kirlian photography started about twenty years ago after I saw pictures of the phantom leaf effect from Russia. (Fig. 1). This phenomenon seemed to support an idea which had fascinated me for years, that is the idea of morphogenetic fields, the postulated organising templates of energy on which physical molecules are strung. These fields were notoriously difficult to measure and so many scientists doubted their existence.

Kirlian photography was my first insight into the invisible universe of subtle energy. Interestingly we would see changes in the Kirlian images of hands when someone had a cold or even toothache compared to when they were healthy. We could even see changes in the Kirlian images happening long before they developed a physical problem.
A number of hospitals and doctors showed interest in the diagnostic potential of Kirlian. I did some interesting work with Dr Glen Rein, who was working on the biochemical synthesis of cancer cells in a London hospital. We initially examined human breast cancer biopsy specimens and compared them with normal adjacent tissue obtained at the same operation. The intensity of light emitted from the tumour tissues was substantially greater than that obtained from the normal tissue. It looked as if we had found something of true diagnostic interest.
However, the Kirlian images were, at this stage, two-dimensional: being ‘pictures’ on a plate. I had noticed that subjects being photographed with the Kirlian camera were also transmitting ‘signals’ when they were in contact with the device. I wanted to achieve three-dimensional energy-field scanning as this would give depth of field and offer quantitative measurements. I managed to get a circular reference field around subjects such as plants, animals and insects with no problem. When I started to scale it up to human beings, people found it too disconcerting. It was like being plunged into a live ants’ nest. This was the effect of the electrostatics all over the body.
However, I was concerned as a scientist, that if you disturb the very thing you are trying to monitor your observations are invalid. So I took a different tack. By lowering the voltage and upping the frequency I was able to obtain a three-dimensional reference field around the body. But the field was invisible and I had to use remote detectors (sensitive oscilloscope probes) to detect it. Later on we used sound level devices to measure the sound pressure waves and changes from place to place around the body. We called this the Electro-Scanning Method.
With ESM I found seven energy configuration points on the body. I was amazed to be told that these energy centres I had located coincided with the Chakra system of the East, which I knew nothing about at the time.
In ESM we take an initial normal reference reading, relative to that person alone. This we take from a healthy site on the body. In effect we zero the meter on that level, creating the scale for that person. Then we go to other parts of the body, for example the seven chakras, the main organs and so on (Fig. 2). In areas of disease, we get fluctuations on the meter away from the zero-balance or norm. No matter what disease we are talking about, energy imbalance is involved.

Harmless sound and radio signals from the electro-crystal generator are induced into the body via the hand-held crystal and saline electrode. Returning signals detected provide diagnostic information about the energy field.

What correlation did you find between disease states and the fluctuations detected around the body?

In inflammatory conditions there would be a bubbling out or convex effect occurring in the field with a ‘plus’ reading on the meter. With a debilitating or degenerative disease, a concave effect would occur in the field with a ‘minus’ reading on the meter. I found that, by taking a number of readings around the body into account, patterns could be recognised and diagnostic information was the result.

Can you tell us about PIP?
PIP stands for Polycontrast Interference Photography. I believe it is showing-up the energy counterpart, the etheric template on which our physical molecules are strung. On average, every molecule in the human body is replaced every nine years. Therefore, I am a moving fountain of physical molecules and my molecules are constantly being destroyed and replaced. So what keeps me a coherent recognisable form? It could be an organising template of energy: a morphogenetic field.
I believe it is this invisible energy field which we were able to see with Kirlian techniques and are now able to see with PIP. As I have said, ESM gave me a three-dimensional scanning ability around the body but I was missing the visual aspect that I had with the early Kirlian experiments. I was keen to develop a system which gave me visual information without artefacts such as the ‘ants’ nest’ effect.
When I went to the United States in the late eighties, I met Dr Richard Gerber (author of Vibrational Medicine, Bear and Co. 1988). He suggested that my ESM system might be computer compatible. As an incentive he said he was so confident about my work that he was going to mention it in his book. He knew I would rise to the challenge and want to be the first to achieve a computerised visual energy-field scanning system. So I set about learning as much as I could about computers. This led to the development of the PIP system.

The image on the left shows a man with ‘healthy’ back energy. The image on the right shows a man with back pain in the area of the red congestion on the spine. Note the line of red energy flowing away to the right which is in the area of muscle spasm. Muscle tension is indicated by ‘bands’ flowing across the upper back. The left elbow is also indicating an energy imbalance.

With PIP, we don’t interfere with the subject at all and there can be no criticism of artefact. Instead of using an electrical reference through the body, we use a full-spectrum light reference to produce the interference effect. The person being scanned stands against a monochromatic (usually white) background screen. The picture is taken with a video camera, which acts like an artificial eye. A wire, the artificial optic nerve, connects the camera to a computer, the artificial brain. In effect, we have created an instrument which can ‘see’ the energy field in much the same way as people with gifts of vision. Of course, technology cannot yet match the intricacies of the human eye/brain cognitive mechanism, but future developments in computer efficiency will hopefully bridge some of the gap.

The line of red energy outside the right leg suggests that the right leg is under strain due to compensating for the weakness of the left leg. Electro-crystal therapy would seek to balance the field.

Imagine a bar code on a supermarket can. The video camera and computer are used in the PIP system to scan a person in the same way that the supermarket checkout machine scans the bar code.
Our system comes up with a set of numbers from the scan by giving photons a number. It is a digital encoding system. The minutest change in density of photons is recorded and amplified to give the picture you see on the computer screen. We scan at 50 frames per second, so this is a lot of information processing.

What do you think PIP is detecting?
I believe PIP is interacting with the subtle energy field. If you look at my hand now, you can see it naked. If I put a glove on it you could still see the actions of my hand and how it behaves. If there were a lump on my finger, under a thin glove you could see the glove slightly stretched and bulging over the lump. Under very thin surgical gloves, you could probably see my fingernails. But you would not actually be seeing my hand. You would be seeing the covering over it. You can think of the light interference patterns as a covering which interferes with the subtle energy-field, making it visible. That’s what PIP is looking at. I’m using the light like the glove.

The PIP scans show many colours and patterns on and around the body. Does each colour indicate a particular vibration?
Yes. It’s all about pattern and colour recognition. Different colours represent different frequencies of energy.
When you are looking at chakra colours on our visual equipment, you are not just seeing one colour, you are seeing a mixture of colours. If a chakra is behaving itself perfectly, one colour will predominate. For instance the throat chakra has more of a blue hue when it is healthy than when it is not. The same with the base chakra, it will be a dirty muddy brown if there are problems, and red if it is healthy. Also, when red kundalini energy goes elsewhere, that is, it goes to the wrong place at the wrong time, there is a potential danger. I see potentially dangerous distortions in people with diseases such as MS and cancer.
For example, a cancer tumour could show up as a high intensity spot. But there are a lot of other factors, which contribute to the diagnosis as to whether this is something seriously pathological. For example, we may see toxic signals from the liver; and distortions over the thymus gland which would indicate that the immune system is involved.

We have spoken about methods of diagnosis. Could you tell us something about your methods of balancing the energy field as an aid to healing?
In my early work, I was very involved in using Kirlian as a research tool in hospitals, particularly for cancer. I soon became concerned at the severe energy field disturbances that could be detected in people undergoing certain harsh treatments used in orthodox medicine. Unable to keep my concerns to myself, I was soon told my services were no longer required. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise as I was then left with no option but to develop my own system for treating, that is re-balancing, the energy fields
I knew that electromagnetism had been used for a long time in orthodox medicine, to stimulate bone healing for example. My first breakthrough involved understanding and applying the electromagnetism at healing frequencies and pulses, using an electro-generator and saline tube electrode. The second innovation was to add crystals (in the saline tube electrode) to the electromagnetic (EM) pulses emanating from my electro-crystal generator. The system became known as Electro-Crystal Therapy.
The EM field on its own had caused some interesting therapeutic results but, when combined with crystals, the healing effect took a quantum leap. Things I never thought possible started occurring. Problems like migraine would often disappear after just one session. People with MS would find that their limbs were strengthening and straightening and they wouldn’t get tremors and cramps at night. Arthritic pain was relieved. Even people with terrible pain would find it diminished. Some people with cancer pain came off their morphine. I found this incredible and concentrated my full efforts on developing the Electro-Crystal Therapy system to its fullest potential.

How did you know which frequencies and pulses to use in order to stimulate the crystals to the best healing effect?
There is ancient knowledge about the chakra vibrations or frequencies contained in books from India called the Upanishads. Each chakra is depicted as a lotus flower, and with a specific number of petals. I was told that the number of petals represented the frequencies of each chakra. I then worked out, mathematically, the frequency patterns for the seven chakras from base to the crown.

How did you decide which crystals to use?
First, I read a lot about crystals. They have been well documented for thousands of years as having natural healing properties. Armed with this knowledge, I then employed an empirical system and found out what did and didn’t work. For example, it turned out that red crystals such as garnet were good for the base chakra and blue crystals such as lapis lazuli were effective for the throat.
By using the electromagnetism combined with the crystals we have been able, over some twenty years, to develop a very good understanding of which combinations to use to correct the energetic imbalances associated with disease.
I like to use the analogy of the tuning fork. If the human is a Steinway piano we try to tune it to its optimal performance. Electro-Crystal Therapy is a human energy field re-tuning system. It works in conjunction with other therapies, both natural and orthodox.

How do you see the future for vibrational medicine?
Vibrational medicine will be the medicine of the 21st century. I believe it will reach its fullest potential after the millennium, when more and more orthodox medical minds will come to accept the emerging vibrational sciences.

What new projects have you been working on?
With my knowledge of energy and ‘light interference’ I have invented a new microscope device which has recently gone to patent. With this instrument we are able to see coloured energy from all living things without staining or messing with the life processes of the organism or tissue we are observing. The microscope is the culmination of all my work to date.
