Bioresonance therapy and Scientology
editHi there
Casting my mind back to January 2010, as evidenced in the diff. I think I wanted to make more precise a previous editor's mention of "the E-Meter used by Scientology" in the Bioresonance therapy article - and so I found the citation which I added, and which as it stands appears to link Franz Morell (rather than bioresonance therapy itself) with Scientology. That "factoid" might live more comfortably on a Wikipedia entry for Franz Morell, but no such article exists... though the article referenced: http://www.abi-ev.de/pdf/in141103.pdf does provide more detail. (The reference you gave to https://tools.wmflabs.org/cluebot/?page=View&id=1909882 brings up only a blank page in my browser. If the referenced article http://www.abi-ev.de/pdf/in141103.pdf does indeed have methodological deficiencies, we can change our article to state that "Franz Morell allegedly had links with Scientology'...)
A very rough translation of the cited article http://www.abi-ev.de/pdf/in141103.pdf - based loosely on the translation provided in Google Chrome, looks something like this:

Scientology and Bioresonance Therapy
Bioresonance Therapy includes the "alternative" treatment of diseases such as allergies, eczema and asthma and in "alternative" dental treatment an ever broader space. Bioresonance therapy goes back to an alleged discovery of the in the Year 1990 deceased Frankfurt Doctor and senior Scientologist Dr. Franz Morell. Dr. Morell had in the 70s of the 20th century the allegedly "genius idea" of eliminating patients' harmful mood-swings by reflecting them .
[Footnote 1: Dr. Eva Rasche in a "MORA Patient information" document published by the F. Dermatological health center Wadern Elvi Foss - http://www.degezet.de/leistung.htm ]
Together with his Stepson Erich Rasche, Morell developed in the year 1977 the so-called MORA-therapy and MORA gear necessary for the therapy. In just this period of time Dr. Franz Morell was a Scientology activist. So founded Dr. Franz Morell on the 12th June 1970 together with six other like-minded people in Frankfurt the Club "College for Applied Philosophy e.V.". According to the at-the-time built Statute, the Club should exclusively serve "scientific and research-supporting ends" and organize 'Courses for the enhancement of consciousness by practical application of the philosophy of L. Ron Hubbard, known under the name Scientology". Appart from that, Dr. Franz Morell co-operated in the year 1975 on the foundation of the Scientology Tranorganisation "Narconon" in Frankfurt. Likewise in the Year 1975 was Dr. Franz Morell in the by the Stuttgart Scientology branch issued Magazine College No. 11 referred to as "for years highly trained Scientologist". Dr. Franz Morell was, when he made public his method of treatment, since many years an active Scientologist, who openly held L. Ron Hubbard teaching and techniques as an appropriate basis for scientific and educational activity. Under the given conditions it appears not surprising that the idea of bioresonance therapy shows parallels to Scientology practices including: While supporters of Bioresonance therapy believe appropriate equipment can catch harmful moodswings of people and by the generation of corresponding counter-vibrations can weaken or delete them, Scientologists see in so-called engrams a type of spiritual disruption fields, which with Scientology auditing with the help of the bioresonance devices - quite similar to the so-called E-Meter (electric meter) - can be tracked and deleted. The MORA-Gerät is still distributed by the Company Med-Tronic Trading Ltd. in Friesenheim. Erich Rasche is Managing Director of the Company Med-Tronic. In view of the social and family Relations between Dr. Morell and Mr. Rasche one can hardly assume that the activities of the late Franz Morell for Scientology remained hidden to Mr. Rasche. The Term "Bioresonanztherapie" was according to the Company Regumed Regulatory Medizintechnik GmbH in Gräfelfing coined by its own executive director Hans Brügemann. The firm Regumed Ltd. markets a therapeutic device comparable to the MORA-gear, called the BICOM-Gerät, which in the words of Hans Brügemann originated "in collaboration with Dr. Morell". The two Managing Directors of the Company Regumed Ltd. - Hermione and Hans Brügemann - have been Scientologists for many years. In the year 1993 the Munich Scientology branch in their Magazine "Ursprung" (Origin) No. 220 announced that Hans Brügemann had become a Lifetime member of the International Scientologist Union. Hans Brügemann in 1993 was appointed as Patron of the International Association of Scientologists (IAS). Those persons become Patrons of the International Scientologists Union who have paid at least 40.000 USD into the Association's coffers.
From the coffers of the International Scientologists Association, campaigns for Scientology and campaigns against critics are paid.
In an article in the journal "Erfahrungsheilkunde" (Experimental Medicine) No. 12 1990 "The Position of the Bioresonance therapy (BRT) in the overall disease process - A basic study of possibilities and limits", Brügemann posits a connection between bioresonance therapy and the teachings of Scientology-founder L. Ron Hubbard. He writes: "In fact, we are dealing on the one hand with the body itself, with the material level, and on the other hand with spirit substance. Between these are connecting portions, which the influence of spirit substance transmit to the body. This is amongst other things the informal level, the area of ultrafine bioenergy, which then engages back on the hormonal control level. We should not hide that there are yet more factors which have a function between spirit substance and the body ..." Further: "We should now refine the concept of the term spirit substance more precisely. Hubbard, a nuclear physicist and philosopher, likewise achieved important research results through atomic physics in reference to the spirit substance ". Subsequently he explains that psychosomatic diseases are caused by the spirit substance itself and cannot be permannently healed by bioresonance therapy. In this he sees himself as in full agreement with Dr. Franz Morell: "It remains to note that this basic representation about chance and limits agrees in all fundamental statements with the view of Dr. Franz Morell, the intellectual father of the therapy of patients' own vibrations. This can be said with such certainty because repeated talks took place between Franz Morell and me which had for their topic this area of themes."
That Brügemann references Hubbard's definition of spirit being is surely not by chance. Hubbard claims that his "Dianetics", a subregion of the Scientology doctrine, encompasses "a therapeutic technology, with which all non-organic mental disturbances and all organic psychosomatic suffering can be handled with the certainty of complete healing in any cases".
In the face of this background, now as ever, exists the risk that Hans Brügemann tries, in his trainings, to bring users of bioresonance therapy close to Hubbard's teachings.
Regardless of the proximity of many providers to Scientology, professionals indicate that the effectiveness of bioresonance therapy so far has not been demonstrated (thus Prof. Dr. Hermann Meiners of the Institute for Dental Materials Science of the University of Münster in the article "Alternative Methods in Medicine"; University Professor Dr. Ferdinand Cap of the Institute for theoretical Physics at the University Innsbruck in the article "Bioresonance"; University Lecturer Dr. Heinz Kofler in the Framework of the Van-Swieten Conference, Vienna, October 2000).
The AOK Federal Association summarises the situation of bioresonance therapy in its Internet publications as follows: "In several scientific studies could meanwhile the ineffectiveness of bioresonance therapy be shown. The biophysical concept at the basis of it is confused and from a scientific view not tenable. Possible therapeutic success in individual cases can be explained by the so-called placebo effect ..."
