An example of a widely used energy medicine instrument is the Mora machine. The Mora was created by Dr. Frans Morel, MD, a close colleague of Dr. Voll. It was his primary theory that disease was a matter of wrong electromagnetic information. The Mora machine basically collects electromagnetic information from an acupuncture point, normalizes the frequency information and then sends it back into the patient to "normalize" the acupuncture point. It is often used in combination with homeopathic prescriptions.

A TENS unit (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator) is another common treatment device much more familiar to those of us in allopathic practice. Electrodes are placed on the skin and an electrical current, of various waveforms and intensities, is applied to those electrodes. It is felt that these electrical stimulants affect pain in a number of ways.

The primary theory of the TENS unit is the gate theory. It is believed that electrical simulation sets off fast nerve fibers, which block the effects of slower pain receptor fibers, thereby reducing the sensation of pain. Other studies have shown that TENS application actually increases the body's production of endorphins, the endogenous painkillers of the body.

Another treatment device called the electroacuscope is a micro current generator which uses currents much smaller than those used in TENS therapy. It is believed that micro currents are stimulating to tissue, causing repair factors to be elaborated by tissue, resulting in accelerated healing.

Light beam generators are another form of energy medicine. Light beam generators are generally monochromatic light emitting diode devices, or low intensity laser devices, that stimulate the skin and again cause tissue repair factors to be elaborated. It is widely used throughout the world, but particularly in the United States and Europe, for treatment of tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, bruises, sore throats, allergies, rheumatoid arthritis and other ailments.

Sound instruments of various sorts are also used in energy medicine. One in particular, called the "Sound Probe", emits a pulse tone of three alternating frequencies that are said to be able to destroy anything that is not in resonance with the body. Things that it purports to destroy include bacteria, viruses and fungi. Pads connected to the instrument are placed anywhere on the body where there is a problem or pain. The alternation of frequencies insures that the body does not adjust to the frequency, allowing the treatment to remain beneficial over time.

Another sound device is made by Infatronics. Research in China found that very low frequency sound energy was emitted from the palms of Chi Gong masters during healing exercises. Chi Gong is a traditional Chinese medicine, energy therapy. In an attempt to mimic the healing energy emitted by Chi Gong masters, the Infatronics device was created. It has been shown to accelerate tissue healing and to reduce inflammation.

Diathermy is another energy therapy device. Diathermy uses radio waves to produce short, intense electromagnetic pulses that penetrate deep into tissue, causing a heating sensation. This heating is felt to improve blood supply, reduce pain and promote healing.

Another interesting device is called the Teslar watch. The Teslar watch is a device that was developed to minimize the harmful effects of electromagnetic pollution, particularly those extremely low frequencies that range from about 1-100 Hz. Research done by Glen Rein, PhD, of Stanford University Medical Center, demonstrated that the Teslar watch enhanced immune response by 73% while simultaneously inhibiting the uptake of noradrenaline by 19.5% in nerve cells in vitro.
