The change in millennium highlights both brilliant Western medical accomplishment and professional networking. However, most modern approaches are too expensive and impersonal to assist comprehensively in the prevention of illness and in the care for those who suffer.
Joseph H. Navach, M.D., orthopedic surgeon, devoted his professional life helping people who were seriously compromised surgically as well as medically to return to reasonable functioning, utilizing traditional medical techniques and cutting-edge clinical biophysics.
Navach was guided by the Vascular Autonomic Signal (VAS), a diagnostic acupuncture pulse technique discovered and developed in the early 1950’s at the medical school in Lyon, France, by neurologist, Paul Nogier.
The VAS is a reflex. It is initiated by any stimulus inside or outside a human or other animal. An outside stimulus can be present in the immediate external environment of the subject without touching the subject. When a stimulus is present, the physiological response in the subject is an instantaneous change in the tone of the wall of all arteries. Clinically, the non-invasive palpation of the change in the tone of the wall of the radial artery in conjunction with a Timed Therapeutic Window has been utilized to evaluate the potential usefulness of acupuncture needles, food, medications, etc. The manual use of Nogier’s magnificent discovery has been carried forward by several thousand physicians worldwide over the past forty years.
ANNOUNCING THE INTERNATIONAL JOSEPH H. NAVACH PROJECT
In memory of Joseph Navach’s pioneering research and clinical work, the Human Energy Systems Laboratory at the University of Arizona, Tucson, under the directorship of Linda Russek, Ph.D., Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine, and Gary Schwartz, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Medicine, Neurology and Psychiatry, are initiating the Joseph H. Navach Project (JHNP).
The JHNP will validate the Vascular Autonomic Signal (VAS) phenomenon and its clinical application and will develop its eventual automation.
The Director’s primary responsibility is to contact people internationally already independently interested in pieces of research without knowing such is related to the Project -- and subsequently shepherd a coordinated effort.
OBJECTIVES OF THE INTERNATIONAL JOSEPH H. NAVACH PROJECT
1) Document the phenomenon that humans without the use of their usual senses (vision, hearing, taste, etc.) are aware with intent and/or without intent of ojbects in the external environment close to but not touching them;
2) Document that humans when clinically utilizing the VAS can with intent discriminate whether or not a specific medication would be therapeutic for any one patient with a particular illness at any moment in the progression of the illness. Further documentation of this is fundamental to the completion of item #7;
3) Tie the above information to research being done in cellular communication and parapsychology;
4) Compare documentation of the above information with the discriminating capability of other subtle energy diagnostic techniques such as kinesiology, the Vega, the Voll, the pendulum, etc.;
5) Document the physiology, biochemistry and biophysics of the VAS;
6) Complete the objective, operator independent physiologic recording of the VAS;
7) Demonstrate that the objective, operator independent recording of the VAS can be utilized to discriminate whether or not a specific medication would be therapeutic for any one patient with a particular illness at any specific moment in the progression of the illness; then, develop such non-invasive technology;
8) Clinically prove the effective application of the manual and automated VAS in:
9) Duplicate Navach’s research on neurohormones and their contribution to the biophysics of cellular functioning and communication; and
10) Duplicate Navach’s research on HLA’s.
