The bioresonance method is based on the discoveries of Franz Morell and Erich Rasche [1-3].
At clinical level, a lot of positive studies pertaining to several indication fields have been conducted by international work groups [e.g. 4-12]. Ultra low, coherent, low frequency (1 Hz - 10^5 Hz – range) electromagnetic oscillations are postulated as transmitters of information at a biophysical level [1-3]. However, three clinical studies [13-15] did not confirm the therapeutic effectiveness of the bioresonance method according to the author`s conclusions, so that a continuous controversial discussion is under way [e.g. 16-18]. For further clinical verification of the bioresonance method two studies with one indication, but different methodological test concepts were carried out: 1. Since 2007 until today (2011) one of the authors (EI) applies this therapy concept in his clinic for smoking cessation, and assesses its practical effectiveness at the same time [19]. 2. Over the course of one year (2008 until 2009) Pihtili et al. 2009 [20] verified in a clinical trial the efficacy of the MORA bioresonance method for smoking cessation as well. None of the scientists in this study had any previous experience regarding the device's use and respective method.
These studies are worldwide the first ones which verify the efficacy The study of EI [19] in his clinic was carried out retrospective, Table 1 shows the results of the study. The rate of smoking (by a randomised, double blind placebo trial) and the effectiveness uncontrolled and non selective (including the drop outs). It is cessation after one week was 80.1%, after one month 62.1% and (by practice experience) of the bioresonance method in smoking called “non controlled study” in the following passages.

practice of this method, like in all other published bioresonance University of Istanbul, Department of Pulmonary Diseases) was carried out prospective, randomised, placebo controlled and Table 1: Rates of smoking cessation as a function of the time double blind. It is called “placebo controlled study” in the period after treatment in the non controlled study with 4733 Regarding the results of the placebo controlled study the participants (number of participants, absolute and relative in application of the active bioresonance is successful and differs significantly and noticeably from the sham bioresonance (see table 2). Comparing the 28.6% success rate of the bioresonance In both studies the indication was smoking. The participants method at the end of the first year with the most effective methods on pharmacological level (varenicline, bupropion), the most effective medicament varenicline (see below) shows similar results but side effects like nausea and insomnia and even partly severe In both studies the participants were treated with the side effects (e.g. attempted suicides), so that 2009 a warning had bioresonance method by use of the MORA-Super device (Med- been announced by the FDA. A lot of studies were conducted with Tronik GmbH, Friesenheim/Baden, Germany) in a similar way. the above mentioned medicaments. For example Oncken et al. A smoking specific bioresonance treatment was conducted one 2006 [21] using varenicline and bupropion documented the time by placing smoked cigarettes in the input electrodes. 18% following success rates after one year: 23.0% for varenicline, of the participants in the non controlled study got a support 14.6% for bupropion and 10.3% for placebo. The three treatment shortly after their first treatment while 16.7% received Seven days after the bioresonance treatment the probands were treatments differ significantly. These results are typical for many questioned as to whether they felt that the treatment had reduced other studies. According to the meta-analyses of Eisenberg et al. Furthermore in both studies the anti-smoking information was their desire to smoke. 95.8% perceived the treatment as effective, 2008 [22] on a pharmacological level the most successful results transferred to a liquid of 92% serum physiological with 8% ethyl 3.8% felt no effect at all and 0.4% were not contactable by phone.
alcohol as well as to a chip. The chip had to be worn below the navel for one month while the liquid should be used if the After 3 months the uncontrolled study showed a success rate of The effectiveness research test at the end of the first week 48.2% with the bioresonance method (see table 1). Regarding this revealed, that the urge to smoke in the bioresonance group time period Jorenby et al. 2006 [23] reported 43.9% in the Assessment, main outcome and observation time decreased significantly compared to the placebo group, varenicline group and 29.8% in the buproprion group. Gonzales The probands in the non controlled study were interviewed by respectively in the first three days (p = 0.002) and the second et al. 2006 [24] documented a success rate of 44.0% for telephone regarding their smoking habit (main outcome: quitting three days (p = 0.003). The rate of smoking without any varenicline and 29.5% for bupropion. Also on a three month smoking) at certain intervals (after one week, one month and discomfort in the bioresonance group was significantly lower observation period, the success rate of the bioresonance method is three months). On the third day after the first treatment they were compared to the placebo group (p = 0.003). Individuals from the similar to the best pharmacological results. questioned whether they needed a support treatment (still a bioresonance group did not feel the urge to smoke in a smoking The remarkable thing about it is that no side effects were observed strong desire for smoking) or a second full treatment (they were environment (p = 0.005) and overall showed no signs of irritation in both bioresonance studies which stands in clear contrast to the (p = 0.005). In comparison with 24.7% of the participants in the pharmacological studies. In this context it is important to say that In the placebo controlled study the probands were questioned placebo group (p = 0.01), 48.0% in the bioresonance group the above mentioned medicaments were taken daily during the regarding their smoking habit as well (main outcome: quitting stated, that the drops administered following the treatment session whole observation intervals, even when the results were calculated, smoking) at certain intervals (after one week, two weeks, one reduced the urge to smoke. The participants of the bioresonance whereas in the bioresonance treatment only one or maximal a few month and one year). A questionnaire was given to them with group which stated that the treatment was effective were treatment sessions at the beginning were carried out and the the objective to determine the effectiveness of the method at the significantly higher than in the placebo group (p < 0.001). Table probands continued their life without any medicaments which 2 shows the rates of smoking cessation. Also in this study no side might have fairly often side effects, even partly in a serious Information was also gathered on the participant's Fagerström Nicotine Dependence Score, previous experience of quitting smoking and psychological treatment anamnesis. Table 2: Rates of quitting smoking in the bioresonance and As mentioned in the introduction, further clinical studies confirm placebo groups (number of participants, absolute and relative in the clinical effectiveness of bioresonance therapy in a broad range of indications [e.g. 4-12]. Therefore these results in smoking The non controlled study included 4733 participants (2068 cessation are no exception on a clinical research level of the females, 2665 males). 60.8% were between the age of 30 and bioresonance method. Even a lot of investigations with animals 50, 19.0% above 50. 44.2% had been smoking between 10 and plants give evidence for the efficacy of bioresonance method and 20 years and 42.1% for more than 20 years. 34.4% had smoked 11-20 and 37.0% 21-30 cigarettes daily. According to On a physical level Korenbaum et al. 2006 [29] showed in a the Fagerström scale 60.1% had a high or very high addiction.

The two optical frequency range from 700 to 800 nm. Montagnier et al. groups were statistically equal (p > 0.05) in demographic 2009 [30] detected electromagnetic oscillations in the low characteristics (gender, age, occupation) and smoking frequency range (about 1000 Hz) with an experimental anamnesis (number of cigarettes smoked daily, number of years In every time period after treatment the rate of smoking cessation construction which was a copy of the exogenous part of the smoking). About 65% of the participants of the two groups were in the bioresonance group was significantly and noticeably higher 30 to 50 years old, ca. 20% above 50. About 60% had been than in the placebo group (see table 2).
