The idea was that a healthy person will have certain energy frequencies moving through their body that define health, while an unhealthy person will exhibit other, different energy frequencies that define disorders. This article is part of a series onīeginning around 1909, Albert Abrams (1864–1924) began to claim that he could detect "energy frequencies" in his patient's bodies. Several systematic reviews have shown radionics is no more effective than placebo and falls into the category of pseudoscience. The United States Food and Drug Administration does not recognize any legitimate medical use for radionic devices. This so-called treatment contradicts the principles of physics and biology and therefore is widely considered pseudoscientific. Over the next decade, Abrams became a millionaire by leasing EMT machines, which he designed himself. The concept behind radionics originated with two books published by American physician Albert Abrams in 19. It is similar to magnet therapy, which also applies EMR to the body but uses a magnet that generates a static electromagnetic field. Radionics -also called electromagnetic therapy ( EMT) and the Abrams Method-is a form of alternative medicine that claims that disease can be diagnosed and treated by applying electromagnetic radiation (EMR), such as radio waves, to the body from an electrically powered device.
