As far back as 1929, Gustav Freiherr von Pohl, a German scientist and one of Germany's most talented dowsers, carried out many investigations which supported his theory that 'one will not get cancer unless one spends some time in GS places, e.g. lying in one's bed'. He devised a scale from 1-16 and found that any GS lines above the strength of 9 were cancer inducing. This was proved to the satisfaction of the Central Committee for Cancer Research in Berlin, who subsequently published his findings. In 1930, he read a paper to the Medical Congress in Munich, which inspired many doctors to carry out their own research.

In his book ' Earth Currents - Causative Factor of Cancer and other Diseases', von Pohl gives an account of how he drew onto a map of a town called Vilsbiburg (a Bavarian town with a stable population) all the Geopathic Stress Lines he could locate by dowsing. He was not familiar with the town and the operation was stringently supervised by Council officials and the Police, so he could not communicate with anyone and be given pertinent information which might influence his findings. A doctor then produced the details of the 54 people who had died from cancer since records were kept which were then compared to von Pohl's map. To the amazement of all present every single person who had died of cancer had slept for some time in a bed located exactly over GS lines. After this, he investigated the town of Grafenau with exactly the same results. Later he returned to Vilsbiburg where another 11 had died of cancer and all had slept in a GS place. Von Pohl estimates 1/40th of 2.5% of the earth's surface is affected by GS. So what is the chance factor involved in these experiments? Is is purely coincidence that all cases investigated involved people sleeping in a GS affected area? The possibility of chance here is small and the results of these studies were accepted as clear and decisive. Many doctors attempted to disprove vo Pohl's findings but none were successful. Dr. Rambeau M.D. President of the Chamber of Medicine in Marburg, failed over three years to find cancer patients whos beds were NOT located in a GS place. Numerous scientific studies have since validated van Pohl's theory. Research continued >>
