When we are sick we seek all ways to find a cure. It might be pharmaceutical, herbal, faith healing, or other alternative health practices. During the early 70s, according to the original article, American culture has accepted eastern mysticism in their lives. Some Americans have changed their ways from fully Christians to being a bit pagan. Since, according to the original article, eastern mysticism believes that each man determines its own truth, most have embraced this idea rather than the Christian’s absolute way of thinking that Jesus is THE way, truth, and the life. Sorcery, as explained in the original article, is using medicine together with incantations, amulets, or invoking the spirits. The New Age Movement practices this type of “medicine.” Because of the absolute and narrow-minded view of the medical models, many people have shifted to the New Age type of medications.
Darkfield microscopy, as depicted in the original article, belongs to the alternative health circuit of the New Age movement which is becoming popular today. It is a type of lighting technique used with darkfield light microscopes. This technique makes a contrast between the specimen in view making the object light and the background dark. It was narrated in the original article that with the use of darkfield light microscopes, tiny objects within the blood can be seen by the microscopist. Darkfield light microscopes can be monocular, binocular or trinocular type, depending on the number of eyepieces of the microscope.
The tiny objects seen in the blood using darkfield light microscopes can determine, according to the New Age movement practitioner, the deficiencies (vitamin, mineral, hormonal, etc) a person may have. Darkfield microscopy can thus be considered as sorcery. Similar to the practice of iridology where a trained person looks into the patient’s iris to determine the disease, darkfield light microscopy has been used to determine diseases and give alternative cures for it.
Who were the men behind darkfield microscopy? According to the article, darkfield microscopy has been existent for the past 100 years. Four men were renowned for discovering the tiny creatures that can be seen in the blood using high powered microscopes like darkfield light microscopes. These four men were, to put it mildly, eccentric in their beliefs and practices. Wilhelm Reich, Royal Rife, Guenther Enderlein, and Gaston Naessens were noted in the article as having New Age beliefs and working on darkfield microscopy to prove their theories and beliefs. Most noteworthy is the four men’s history and criminal activities.
Today, according to the original article, darkfield microscopy has been linked with New Age movement, pyramid schemes, sale of nutritional supplements to support the findings of a darkfield microscopy practitioner. It is up to the patient involved to become vigilant in the type of cure they are seeking.
A Christian is prohibited to practice anything that involves sorcery. It is written in the bible and the scriptures that anyone who practices this type of healing or even believes in it will be damned by God. The people must be wary to avoid being scammed by the quick cures and treatment being given by these darkfield microscopy practitioners.
