This article refers to the method of Radionics in alternative medicine and not to the medical instrumentation produced by the company Radionics (Burlington, MA) for use in Neurosurgery and Radiotherapeutics
Radionics is an alternative medicine practice that claims to use extra-sensory perception to send healing energy at people, animals, or plants, from a distance. It is named after the supposed "broadcasting" of healing. The ideas behind radionics originated in the early 1900s with Albert Abrams (1864-1924) and have neither been accepted by the science nor have been the subject of any scientific journal. It uses specially-created instruments and some item from the patient, such as a drop of blood or some hair to provide the connection.
In his 1927 book "The New Medical Follies: An Encyclopedia of Cultism and Quackery in these United States", Morris Fishbein savaged radionics as quackery, and described several prosecutions and deaths caused by the practice.
