A simple electric dipole model, in the static limit, was used to analyze
simultaneous voltage recordings from the ear of an experienced non-contact
therapeutic touch specialist and from four surrounding copper walls
during a 30-minute therapy session wherein 15 ear voltage surges were
recorded, ranging between -20 V and -80 V from baseline with time durations
from approximately 0.5 to 12.5 s. In 13 of these 15 voltage surges,
the origin of the dipole was located in the abdominal region and the
dipole length extended from the ear to the feet with the ear always
negative. In the other 2 cases a second dipole may also form in the
head. A possible mechanism is given for the formation of these electric
dipoles.
