Glossary

ADP

ADP stands for Adenosine Di Phosphate. This is the chemical that is converted by the body into ATP so the body can use it for energy. In addition, a further 90 chemicals are required. Apart from ATP, carbon dioxide, water and waste products are produced.

ATP

ATP stands for Adenosine Tri Phosphate. ATP is an important energy transfer molecule in cells that allow them to function on a daily basis.

Cell Membrane

The cell membrane (also called the plasma membrane) is the interface between the cellular machinery inside the cell and the fluid outside. In essence membranes are essential for the integrity and function of the cell.

Cellular Metabolism

The entire sum of all physical and chemical processes is constantly taking place in human cells. Healthy cells need food, oxygen, water and nutrients, which produces energy for the functioning of the human body. At the same time, waste and toxins are released.

EEG

Electroencephalography (EEG), in the broadest sense of the term, refers to the measurement of the electrical activity produced by the brain.

Electromagnetic Field (EMF)

An electromagnetic field (EMF) is an invisible zone of energy that surrounds electric devices and wiring. EMFs are comprised of two fields: an ‘electric’ field and a ‘magnetic’ field. The electric field is created by voltage, which determines the force with which the electricity is pushed through wires.

The magnetic field is created by the current, which is the amount of electricity being pushed. When electricity passes through a wire, it creates an electromagnetic field that exerts force on nearby objects, including animals and humans. Electromagnetic fields, generated by household appliances, including electric blankets, and power lines, travel through most barriers and for long distances and can cause health concerns. However, research has shown that specific pulsed electromagnetic fields in lower frequency (<1000Hz) and intensity range (<100 micro-Tesla), such as applied by the QRS, increase oxygenation to the blood, improve blood circulation and cell metabolism.

Electromagnetic Radiation

Electromagnetic radiation is produced by radiation on an atomic scale, such as electrons in atoms. EM radiation has an electric and magnetic field component which oscillate in phase perpendicular to each other and to the direction of energy propagation. Electromagnetic radiation is classified into types according to the frequency of the wave; these types include (in order of increasing frequency): radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma-rays. Of these, radio waves have the longest wavelengths and gamma rays have the shortest.

Electrosmog

New form of pollution coming from unnatural man-made EMF sources, such as power lines, microwaves, hair dryers, computers, etc. that pose harm to people’s health. Though these assaults are subtle on an individual basis, these days we are continuously surrounded by these unnatural man-made EMFs and we are not aware that this level of unprotected exposure can cause significant health risks.

Hertz

Number of cycles per second. Measurement term for quantifying electro/pulsed magnetic frequencies.

Ions

An ion is an atom or molecule which has lost or gained one or more electrons, giving it a positive or negative electrical charge. A positive charged ion has fewer electrons than protons and negative charged ion has more electrons. Ions are essential to life; Sodium, Potassium, Calcium and other ions play an important part in cells of living organism, particularly in cell membranes.

Micro-Tesla / Gauss

Measurement term for magnetic field strength. The International System (SI) unit of field intensity for magnetic fields is Tesla (T). One Tesla (1 T) is defined as the field intensity generating one newton of force per ampere of current per meter of conductor:

T = N · A-1 · m-1 = kg · s-2 · A-1

On this web site we use micro-Tesla, which equals 0.000001 Tesla. Certain other non-SI units, like Gauss (G), are still occasionally used. Some are important for the interpretation of older scientific texts but their use is not encouraged. 1 Gauss is equal to 100 micro-Tesla

Quantum

The QRS (Quantron Resonance System) is named for its resonance on a quantum level. The ‘Quantum’ is known as the smallest energy contribution of electromagnetic radiation. By making use of the so called resonance phenomena, minimum fields can trigger a maximum therapeutic effect; it’s a case of doing a lot with an energetic “little”. Hence the quantum connection with the QRS.

Resonance

To manifest sympathetic (harmonic) vibration. The classic example is demonstrated with two similar tuning-forks of which one is mounted on a wooden box. If the other one is struck and then placed on the box, then muted, the un-struck mounted fork will be heard. Human cells each have a specific vibration. The QRS produces an electromagnetic field, which imitates and creates the same vibration as healthy human cells.

Transmembrane Potential

The electric voltage of the outer layer of human cells. In a healthy cellular environment the transmembrane potential is between 70-110 mV (millivolts). In a state of disease the cells of the human body drop their voltage under 70 mV, thus causing a sluggish metabolism. The QRS assists in raising and maintaining the cell transmembrane potential to 70-110 mV.
