        Dear Ulrich, 
        
          
        
        I have not seen or 
        studied the type of acupuncture you refer to, so am not competent to 
        comment on it.  As you know, however, the experiment is king in science, 
        and if the experiments work, then it is up to the theorists to try to 
        find an appropriate model to explain the results. 
        
          
        
        Unfortunately I do not 
        know of a way to measure the scalar wave (combined longitudinal EM wave 
        and time-polarized EM wave) directly.  Since the heart attack last year 
        and continuing hypoxia, I'm on a quite limited schedule, and so have 
        just been focusing on energy from the vacuum, as in electrical power 
        systems.  My present efforts are focused on trying to finish my book, to 
        be published at the end of this year or early next year.  Presently I'm 
        working on a sort of Appendix dealing with the fact that COP>1.0 EM 
        systems conflict with classical thermodynamics, classical 
        electrodynamics, and electrical engineering.  This of course requires 
        demonstrating why those three models are inadequate and proven to be 
        inadequate, and at least a good statement of what the major limits of 
        the three models are.  All turn out to have very serious flaws, 
        demonstrable in quite straightforward way.  Every charge in the 
        universe, e.g., already totally violates the foundations of all three 
        models.  All of them, for example, exclude the common charge and dipole, 
        as strange as that sounds.  But it is true.  All of them also require 
        the assumption that a charge is a perpetual motion machine, freely 
        creating and pouring out observable EM energy in 3-space with no 
        observable EM energy input.  We hope to finish this particular task in 
        the next few days, then get on with finishing the rest of the book. 
        
          
        
        With possible bearing 
        on your own research need: 
        
          
        
        There is an effect in 
        semiconductors, known as recombination time, which does and will respond 
        to changes in the time-polarized energy.  I believe NASA has a circuit 
        somewhere that is used to measure that.  It might be that a circuit 
        measuring the recombination time changes in a semiconductor would do the 
        measurement you seek, or at least give you very useful indications that 
        correlate with experimental results. 
        
          
        
        Another possible way 
        might be to produce an instrument which has two receiving channels that 
        act in interferometry fashion.  Scalar potential interferometry 
        (longitudinal EM wave interferometry) does produce what we call normal 
        EM fields and waves in the interference zone.  So some kind of 
        interferometry along those lines might be possible to develop. 
        
          
        
        In the various nations 
        of the earth, scalar interferometry technology has indeed been 
        developed, but as is so often the human wont, it has been developed for 
        weaponry --- to kill rather than heal.  I do not know the extent of that 
        technology in the various nations, but do know that some ten of them 
        already have such weapons.  Indeed, even the Japanese Yakuza has such 
        weapons. 
        
          
        
        As with any desired 
        new technology, its development obviously depends on developing proper 
        instruments.  That is what is needed in the scalar EM area.  The weapons 
        projects have obviously done that, but are clandestine so no information 
        is available as to the instrumentation technology, that I am aware of. 
        
          
        
        Another possibly 
        relevant area is this: In quantum field theory, as you are aware, there 
        are four polarizations of the photon.  Two of these --- x and y --- are 
        transverse photons (at least that is how we model them).  The third is 
        the longitudinal photon, where the spatial energy carried by the photon 
        is oscillating back and forth along the line of travel.   The fourth is 
        the scalar or time-polarized photon, where the energy carried by the 
        photon is oscillating back and forth along the time-axis ict.  In other 
        words, the scalar photon is a longitudinal photon with its energy and 
        oscillation on the fourth axis, rather than in 3-space.  It thus is an 
        entity along the fourth Minkowski axis, and is obviously nonobservable 
        since observation itself is a d/dt operator imposed on an ongoing 
        4-space interaction.  So the scalar photon is not an observable, because 
        nothing on the time axis is. 
        
          
        
        Quantum field theory 
        treats the longitudinal photon (in 3-space) and the scalar photon as 
        being individually nonobservable.  However, the combination of the two 
        is observable as the instantaneous scalar potential.  Perhaps further 
        thinking along those lines -- e.g., by some sharp young graduate 
        students or post doctoral scientists --- might suggest some methods of 
        possible instrumentation to develop. 
        
          
        
        That is about the 
        extent of my speculation on the subject.  Development of such 
        instruments needs doing, but as always the question at any university, 
        etc. is, who or what fund will pay for the research necessary to work 
        out such things.  In the private arena the same question prevails. 
        
          
        
        Sadly, at least in the 
        U.S., there are no signs that our National Academy of Sciences or our 
        National Science Foundation will fund such areas of research, or even 
        form "funded research packages" for the various universities to compete 
        for and submit proposals for. 
        
          
        
        On the other hand, I 
        have not performed a literature search in quantum field theory 
        publications to see if anything has been done in that area for such 
        questions.  E.g., a compilation of a database on good scientific papers 
        published in quantum field theory and higher group symmetry 
        electrodynamics, dealing with unique waves or photons of such form, 
        would be useful. 
        
          
        
        Hope this helps a 
        little. I'm sorry that I do not know the answer to a good 
        instrumentation setup to develop for these and similar areas. 
        
          
        
        Best wishes to you in 
        your research,
