IVF support for the UK - The crystal 'miracle' workers self

Acupuncturists work with meridians, the invisible energy pathways that lie beneath the skin; while healers worry about charkas. Swirling centres of energy in the body. But who has ever seen a chakra or a meridian under a microscope or with an X-ray? In fact, who is to say that these pathways really exist at all?

Harry Oldfield and his fellow electro-crystal therapists claim they regularly see the invisible. Oldfield is not a psychic, however, 'seeing' auras with clairvoyant eyes. He's a former science teacher who doesn't just tell you about your secret inner energy, he lets you see it for yourself.

Oldfield is a Ruislip-based therapist who has developed a means of filming the body's subtle energies. As he scans his patients with a special camera, a multi-coloured image of their body appears on his computer screen. On it you can see what the mystics have known for years and the scientists have refused to believe: energy points (the acupuncture points), energy channels (the meridians), energy centres (the charkas) and the cocoon-like field of energy that surrounds us (the aura).

The system is called a Poly Contrast Interface (or PIP) and it is being touted as the X-ray of the future. The camera looks at frequencies of light not normally detected by the human eye. A computer program diagnoses the waves of light and gives each a different colour reading, so you can literally see the shape of your own energy.

So far, so clever. But not only does Oldfield diagnose your problems, he cures them, too, with the use of another technique - electro-crystal therapy.

Electromagnetic fields are beamed at the patient, using crystals to amplify the energy. Oldfield found that if disease showed up as a disturbance in the body's own force field, directing a corrective vibratory pattern back into the body would correct that imbalance.

'I suppose you could compare me to a piano tuner,' he says. 'All I do is get out my tuning fork of crystal and tweak the body's strings to put it back on track.' How long the 'cure' lasts depends on the patient, though. Says Oldfield: 'If you play the wrong kinds of tunes in your life, you are going to get the same kind of unhealthy pattern emerging again.'

When Oldfield first started developing his therapy, doctors and scientists were impressed with his findings. But when he began to develop more precise diagnostic tools and then started to treat - and heal - people, the orthodox turned away.

Patients, on the other hand, descended in their hordes, their numbers swelling by word of mouth. They came, and they kept coming back, because they found Harry's treatment, however weird and magical it might seem, worked for them.

And we're not just talking about the odd headache or the irritation of a bout of flu. Oldfield and his colleagues do what very few practitioners of alternative medicine would even dare suggest: they talk about remissions and cures of some of the most serious and terminal of diseases. They don't promise cures, however, and they also stress that there are times when people simply don't respond.

But even so, they will freely discuss what most people would term miracles. There's the man who broke his neck and was told to expect to live life in a wheelchair as a quadriplegic: now he walks and drives his own car. There are even tales of cancer sufferers who have been given weeks to live: years later they are still alive and praising electro-crystal therapy.

I've met quite a few of them, all sane ordinary people, at Oldfield's base in Ruislip. It's a typical small, neat suburban semi that, from the outside, looks like any other in the road. Inside, it isn't much different either - except that the cluster of people sitting around the living room with cups of tea also have strange plastic bands filled with crystals around their heads.

When I met Harry five years ago, I was impressed by his evident care for the people who trek to his house and his solid scientific background. He was spending virtually every hour of the day diagnosing and treating, and was certainly not making a lot of money from it.

Demand eventually grew so great that Harry started to train others in electro-crystal therapy. Julie, the therapist, first 'tuned in' to me with one of Harry's earlier tools - a meter that reads sound waves in the body. She moved the meter over my body, noting down any imbalances. Then she asked me to strip down to my underwear while she pointed the PIP scanner at me. Suddenly, there I was on the small computer screen, covered in swirling bands of colour.

The straight lines of colour stretching down my arms were my meridians ('nice and straight'); the clear blue circle on my forehead was my brow chakra ('lovely and clear'). My organs all looked fine but a couple of things didn't make sense. Firstly, she said, there was a lot happening in my throat, something viral going on or about to come. Then she noted congestion between my eyes and in my stomach.

Julie said that a short blast of electro-crystal therapy would boost my immune system and might ward off the throat problems. Sitting in a chair, I was plugged into a small machine, with a metal rod pinned under my collarbone and a flexible plastic headband filled with crystals around my head. The treatment is painless; in fact, you don't feel a thing. The average session lasts for an hour. At the time I really didn't notice any difference after the treatment.

But when I came to write this article a few weeks later, I was amazed to read Julie's notes on my scan. It was like déjà vu. Stricken with a miserable bout of gastric flu, I had a throbbing throat, congested sinuses and an upset stomach. And it was all there in my PIP scan.
