This technique, called Gas-Discharge Visualisation (GDV), was developed by Dr Konstantin Korotkov of St. Petersburg (see websites http://www.kti.spb.ru/ in Russia, and http://www.gdvresearch.com/ in the US). The fingers are placed individually on a glass electrode, to which is supplied a high voltage high frequency pulse. Light from the resulting electric discharge through the air around the finger is picked up by a CCD camera, and the digitised image sent to the computer. Immediately below are examples of the images which are sent to the computer.
The information from this type of image is digitized and run through a computer
program for interpretation. The software allows quantitative analysis of a number
of parameters, and so permits objective comparisons to be made.
I had been on a water-trap ormus preparation (Rhodium/Gold) [from Mountain Manna]
for several months. In order to test my response I stopped taking it for 5 days,
and then took a large dose (about 6x the recommended daily dose). GDV readings
were taken just before, and at intervals after this dose.
In Graph A, the green line represents the area of the image averaged over all ten fingers. An increase in this quantity ("expansion of the aura") is most generally indicative of health. Light blue represents brightness: increase is a good sign if it is together with increased area, but may indicate stress if it occurs at the expense of area. Dark blue represents fractality of the border, and red represents so-called "noise": the area of the image in fragments less than 30 pixels. Both of these should ideally be low. It can be seen that the response reaches maximum in about 5 hours, and then dies away by the next day.
