astrologic medicine (astral healing, astrological healing, astromedicine, medical astrology, medicinal astrology): System based on cosmobiology,a science whose principle is that specific mental and physical conditions correspond to the relative positions of celestial bodies. Astrologic medicine involves horoscopic astrology and the zodiacal man doctrine. The principle of horoscopic astrology--also called genethliacal astrology, horoscopy, natal astrology, popular astrology, and sun sign astrology--is that the relationship between the positions of planets and stars and the moment of one's birth determines lifelong personality. According to the zodiacal man doctrine, each of the twelve signs (houses) of the zodiac--constellations named Aries, Taurus, etc.--governs a different part of the human body. Proponents associate these zodiacal signs (sun signs) with bodily parts (e.g., organs) and systems and with predisposition to disease in different bodily parts. Certain planetary configurations can trigger disease in susceptible persons. Some proponents further posit a correlation of (a) sun signs and particular herbs, and (b) sun signs and the twelve cell salts of the Schuessler biochemic system of medicine. Astrologic medicine includes astrodiagnosis (see astrological diagnosis), prognosis, selection and timing of treatments (especially homeopathic remedies), and preventive medicine.

Astrology: Astrology is a science that examines the action of celestial bodies upon all living beings, non-living objects, and earthly conditions, as well as their reactions to such influences. The study of the stars is one of the oldest sciences known to humankind, tracing its origins back to ancient Sumer and even earlier. The astrological arts were well known to the Egyptians, Hindus, Chinese, Persians, and the great civilizations of the ancient Americas.

Astrology is the progenitor of astronomy, and for many years the two existed as one science. Nowadays, astronomy is considered an "objective" science of distances, masses, speeds, etc., while astrology is a "subjective" and intuitive science that not only deals which the astronomical delineation of horoscopes, but can also be called a philosophy which helps to explain the spiritual essence of life.

iridology (eye analysis, iridiagnosis, irido-diagnosis, iris diagnosis): Ostensibly diagnostic system whose principle is that every bodily organ corresponds to a location on the iris (the colored portion of the eye surrounding the pupil). According to iridology theory, the iris serves as a map of the body and gives warning signs of physical, mental, and spiritual problems. Proponents ascribe modern iridology to Hungarian physician Ignatz von Peczely (1826-1911), author of The Discovery in Natural History and Medical Science, a Guide to the Study and Diagnosis from the Eye (1881). , von Peczely discovered the iris-body connection in his childhood, when he broke the leg of an owl and a black stripe spontaneously appeared on the owl's iris. Probably the leading proponent of iridology in the United States is author and nutritionist J. Bernard Jensen, D.C., Ph.D.

medical palmistry: Palmistry with the goal of determining the condition of specific organs.

Palmistry comprises chirognomy (cheirognomy) and chiromancy (cheiromancy).

The foci of chirognomy are:

(a)           the overall shape of hands (the type of hand);

(b)           the shapes of fingers, nails, and palms;

(c)           the size of the mounts (cushions) of the palm; and

(d)           skin texture.

Chiromancy centers on the lines of the palm. Palmists (also called hand analysts) also examine the hands for other marks and for colors. Proponents use the terms chiromancy, hand analysis, palmistry, and palm-reading, interchangeably.

Esoteric Astrology

The school of astrology that deals with the relations of our solar system and our planet to other solar systems, of the exchange of interstellar and interplanetary energies.

The Theosopohists say that people that got farthest in this respect were the Chaldeans of some 30 000 years ago. They further claim that in future individuals who acquired this knowledge in Chaldea will incarnate again and once more present mankind with the esoteric ÔastrologyÕ, thereby reviving the long-lost knowledge.

orgone therapy (medical orgone therapy, medical orgonomy, orgonomic medicine, orgonomic medicine therapy): System developed by psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957), who coined the word orgone to refer to a hypothetical fundamental, omnipresent, life-sustaining, intelligent radiation.

Orgone therapy encompasses the Reich Blood Test and Reichian Therapy. The professional activities of medical orgonomists include administering orgone charged water and applying peculiar devices: The orgone field meter and the vacor tube contribute to ostensible diagnosis. The meter shows the extent and strength of the patient's orgone energy field. The vacor tube is an orgone charged glass vacuum tube that glows under the influence of the patient's orgone energy field. The medical dor-buster siphons a toxic form of orgone - dor (an acronym for deadly orgone) - from the patient's body.

Astrology

charts the interrelationships between an individual and the heavenly bodies in order to understand the cosmological influences on individual fate. In a Natal, or Birth Chart, the astrologer takes one's date and time of birth as the starting point.

The configuration of the planets and stars at the moment of birth determine one's basic life story- inclinations, strengths, weaknesses. The resulting chart is used to understand and better respond to general life issues as well as particular situations.
