Bioresonance therapy is an alternative medicine method that claims to measure and therapeutically influence the body's electromagnetic oscillations. Its scientific efficacy has not been proven.
What is Bioresonance Therapy?
Bioresonance therapy is an alternative medicine approach based on the premise that every cell and organ in the human body emits characteristic electromagnetic oscillations, also referred to as bioresonance. Proponents of the method claim that diseases arise from altered or disturbed oscillation patterns, and that a special device -- known as a bioresonance device -- can measure these oscillations, invert them, and send them back into the body to stimulate healing processes.
Bioresonance therapy was developed in the 1970s by German physician Franz Morell and electrical engineer Erich Rasche. The original device was called the MORA device (named after Morell and Rasche). Since then, numerous variants and device manufacturers have established themselves on the market.
Areas of Application
Providers of bioresonance therapy market the method for a wide range of complaints and conditions, including:
- Allergies and food intolerances
- Chronic pain
- Atopic dermatitis and other skin conditions
- Smoking cessation
- Fatigue and burnout
- Digestive complaints
- Immune system support
- Parasite and fungal infections
It is important to emphasize that no scientifically recognized proof of efficacy exists for any of these areas of application.
How Does a Treatment Session Work?
During a session, electrodes or hand-held electrodes are attached to the patient, through which the device supposedly picks up the body's own oscillations. The device then claims to filter out pathological oscillation patterns (patterns described as disease-causing), invert them, and send them back to the body as a therapeutic signal. A session typically lasts between 30 and 90 minutes, and multiple sessions are usually recommended.
Scientific Assessment
From a scientific and medical perspective, bioresonance therapy is considered non-evidence-based. The fundamental assumptions of the method -- in particular the idea that diseases arise from measurable changes in electromagnetic oscillations and can be cured by inverting them -- have no basis in physics or biology.
Several systematic reviews and clinical studies have found no specific efficacy of bioresonance therapy compared to placebo. The European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) and numerous national medical societies advise against its use for diagnosing or treating allergies and other conditions.
Risks and Side Effects
Bioresonance therapy is generally considered physically low-risk, as no invasive procedures are involved. However, indirect risks do exist:
- Delayed effective treatment: Patients may delay seeking scientifically proven treatment by pursuing bioresonance therapy, which can be particularly dangerous in the case of serious illnesses.
- Misdiagnosis: Bioresonance devices are sometimes used for diagnostic purposes without any scientifically validated diagnostic accuracy.
- Financial burden: The costs of bioresonance therapy are generally not covered by statutory health insurance and can be significant.
- False sense of security: Patients may ignore serious symptoms if they believe they are already receiving treatment.
Legal and Regulatory Classification
In Germany and Austria, bioresonance therapy is not recognized as a legitimate healing method. It is classified under complementary and alternative medicine. Naturopathic practitioners and some physicians offer it as a self-pay service that patients must fund themselves. Advertising bioresonance devices with specific healing claims is legally restricted or prohibited in many countries.
