FAQs

Frequently asked questions:

Q: What is an aquifer?

A: most underground water occurs within tiny void spaces, called pores, located between the solid mineral grains of sediments and rocks, as well as in cracks or fractures of the ground, rather like water filling a sponge. The structures that have larger pore sizes, such as sands and gravels allow the water to flow more easily. These structures are called aquifers. The word “aquifer” implies ease of underground water flow. The pore sizes in rocks are a function of the size of the individual grains making up the rock. A gravel deposit can have pores big enough to stick a pencil into. A siltstone has pores that can only be seen under a microscope. Like pipes, bigger pores carry more water.

Like surface water, underground water flows downhill. This is called the gradient, and most aquifers have a tilt or a dip to them that imparts a gradient and a flow direction to the underground water. Aquifers usually move much slower than streams.

Q: How does an aquifer generate adverse energy (geopathic stress?)

A: The problem is caused by the movement (the force) of underground water traveling through aquifers. When charged particles (called ions) from metals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron are dissolved in the underground water, electric fields are created due to the movement of the ions in the water (known as specific conductance). Another key factor in this process is the friction created by the water (and the ions in the water) traveling through the tiny pore spaces in an aquifer. Depending on the nature and concentration of the metal ions being absorbed, the pore sizes they travel through, and the speed and mass of the water, electrical fields of different force and wavelengths are generated. The harder the water has to work to force its way through the aquifer, the more the friction, the stronger the adverse energy will be. In the areas where the aquifer is providing little or no restriction to the water (the water has a large path to travel through), the adverse energy will be at its weakest.

Q: How can living or working above aquifers cause harm to humans and animals?

A: When this adverse energy (geopathic stress) is released from the moving water in the aquifer, it will rise straight up through the earth’s crust, through concrete foundations and just about anything man-made, and the energy will be just as strong on the 20th floor as it is on the 1^st floor. Consider the energy to be similar to an EMF, you can’t see it or smell it, but it will cause a stress reaction in the body, and the body will respond by producing stress hormones. It increases stress; influences sleep quality, hormones and other messenger substances, in effect, hampering various defense mechanisms, well being, as well as the healing capabilities of our body. If areas where we usually spend a great amount of time are located above a stress zone, like where our beds and office chairs are placed, this will cause us harm. It will affect deep sleep phase duration and melatonin production – causing chronic stress and higher aggressiveness. We will get sick more often, and for longer periods of time. Chronic disease can develop, and soon, our work performance will be influenced, and our number of sick days will increase. Health system costs will increase, and we can expect to live shorter lives and have a lower quality of life.

Q: Do all aquifers release adverse energy (geopathic stress)?

A: In order for an aquifer to release adverse energy, the water has to be moving and the aquifer must provide resistance to the flow of the water in order to cause friction. This is why the strength of the adverse energy (geopathic stress) can very from spot to spot. The areas in the aquifer which restricts the flow of water the most will create the strongest adverse energy.

Q: Is there a way to measure this adverse energy (geopathic stress)?

A1: The human body is the most accurate testing device. Scientists have measured and recorded stress reactions produced in the human body when positioned over geopathic stress. The testing methods used has been saliva testing, HRV (Heart Rate Variability) and the GDV (Gas Discharge Visualization). More than 35,000 individual measurements have been carried out in a “double blind, peer-reviewed study”.

A2: In addition, this adverse energy has been directly measured by physicists using “Light Interference Techniques”, which measures the interaction between photons of a laser light and the adverse energy generated from the movement of the groundwater. Dr. Manfred Bayerl, quantum physicist, has calculated that energy released from moving ground water produces forces up to the range of milli-Newtons – more than enough strength to affect certain constituents of our body and to create ongoing stress which can easily turn to chronic stress.

A3: A Geo-magnetometer is scientific test equipment that measures the natural magnetic field around the earth’s surface. In certain instances, the adverse energy rising above an aquifer can distort the natural magnetic field in the area where it is rising. This test equipment can measure that distortion.

Q: How many people actually live over aquifers?

A: Underground aquifers can be found somewhere inside just about every zip code in the United States – some zip codes will have aquifers throughout, most zip codes will have some aquifers flowing below it and some zip codes will have none. But just because a home doesn’t have well water, doesn’t mean aquifers aren’t flowing below.

Q: Do the maps provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) show all aquifers in the U.S.?

A: The USGS has done a great job providing us with this resource, but it can only be used as a guide when you are trying to determine if you live or work above an aquifer. The maps are a great tool, but far from perfect.

Q: Is Geopathic Stress a new discovery?

A: Although the geopathic stress phenomenon has been known for thousands of years, science had, until recently, neglected to accurately investigate both, the causes, as well as the effects of stress zones. Only recently, a slow but steady opening towards greater acceptance in the scientific world has occurred, and since 2005, the peer-reviewed Medline database has cited biomedical and physical manuscripts on geopathic stress research which have been accepted and published – using the state of the art experimental design of randomized double-blind studies.
