IUMAB brief history
In the past, a number of associations have been formed by enthusiastic individuals to bring together the scientists involved into research in bio-electrography. After the demise of the International Kirlian Research Association (IKRA) which had been active in the 1970's Douglas Dean and Bernard Grad were two of those who felt the necessity of a new effort and made the formation of the International Union of Medical & Applied Bioelectrography (IUMAB) possible. The Union was formed in 1987 with the object of - establishing the validity and scientific status of Bioelectrography by thorough research - to bring together all the persons concerned with the various aspects of Bioelectrography and facilitate the exchange of opinions and experience - to undertake, organize and facilitate the study of Bioelectrography in strict scientific protocols, especially where applied to aspects of health - to establish a training and research center in the field and to publish a journal. The establishment of the Bioelectrography Research Laboratory" at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) at Pondicherry, India, by the efforts of gynecologists Professor Rajaram Pagadala and Dr. Ramesh Singh Chouhan with funding from the Indian Council for Medical Research soon formed the necessary platform, and a number of promising results from this laboratory, indicating that Bioelectrography can be used as a mass screening procedure for the early detection of cancer and in the timing of ovulation, gave the field some new impetus. Shortly after the announcement of its foundation, support came from scientists of diverse countries and professional backgrounds. Among them well known researchers from the pioneering times of bioelectrography, such as physicist Viktor Adamenko (formerly USSR, now Greece), psychologist Stanley Krippner (USA), psychiatrist Vittoria Manganas (Greece), Ion Florin Dumitrescu (formerly Rumania, presently in France), and Peter Mandel (Germany), developer of the most successful method of interpreting bioelectrographic images so far. Six months later, the IUMAB organized the first International Seminar and Workshop on this subject in India. Up to the present date, the IUMAB has organized another five International Conferences on Bio-Electrography. On the last fifth International Conference in Curitiba, Brazil among the speakers were physicist Dr. Konstantin Korotkov(Russia), inventor of the most advanced GDV-Camera research unit which consist from GDV-Camera capture device and sophisticated software for reading and evaluating Kirlian images of bio and non-bio objects; Dr. Pavel Bundzen (Russia), Prof. Lars-Eric Unestal (Sweden), Prof. Newton Milhomens (Brazil), Dr. Auri Silveira Silva (Brazil), Dr. Joston Miguel Silva (Brazil), Dr. Manoel A. Sperb Bacellar (Brazil). Dear Colleagues, In recent years the evolution of bioelectrography has featured an active involvement of enthusiasts, researchers and doctors of alternative medicine. A series of instruments and software have been elaborated capable of recording glow of biological subjects, reproducing the images in accordance with the required norms and carrying out the computer processing of the obtained data. The total number of researchers and medical doctors using in their studies the GDV instruments manufactured by Dr. Korotkov Co. has exceeded one thousand. Thus a necessity has emerged to unify the data to create an international scientific database. It is to be based on the results obtained after studying various states of humans, blood, animals, etc., with an aim of creating international norms and diagnostic techniques. Another important task is disease prevention based on determining the energy state of systems and organs of human. Toward this end we propose: 1. To establish the following system of training and certification of the GDV users: The GDV User - 1st level of training and an appropriate Certificate The GDV User - 2nd level of training and an appropriate Certificate 2. To introduce the following standards with respect to the GDV instruments: - Parameter spread of the GDV-grams a standard metal calibration cylinder captured 10 times as a series should not exceed 10%. 3. To establish the principles of evaluation and measurement units of the energy state of systems and organs of human. 4. To fulfill the set tasks, it is expedient to use the capabilities of Dr. Korotkov Co. and those of the IUMAB. President of the IUMAB, Konstantin Korotkov The International Union of Medical and Applied Bioelectrography was officially registered in 1987. The IUMAB brings together scientists from all over the world involved into the research of the human biofield based on scientific approach, development of new ideas in quantum biology and biophysics as well as creation of advanced techniques for diagnosis and treatment using recent knowledge and achievements in bioelectrography. The IUMAB also brings together all the enthusiasts concerned with the various aspects of bioelectrography. The IUMAB facilitates the exchange of opinions and experience on this subject. It organizes seminars, conferences and congresses giving scientists from diverse countries an opportunity to introduce the results of their recent research. 26 November 2000 Curitiba, Brazil Protocol of the official meeting of the members of the International Union of Medical and Applied Bio-Electrography (IUMAB) At the meeting, being held during the Vth official Congress of IUMAB in Curitiba, Brazil, the following Committee of Members of IUMAB, representatives of different countries, had a sitting, discussing the current state of affairs in IUMAB: Brazil Prof. Newton Milhomens, England Rosemary Steel, Finland Matti Ollila, Germany Dr. Peter Mandel, Russia Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, Slovenia Prof. Igor Kononenko, Sweden Prof Lars-Eric Unestahl, Sweden Dr. Benny Johansson The aforementioned Committee agree as follows: Following the Aims of IUMAB as they are stated by the Founders: - Promotion of scientific status of Bioelectrography by way of thorough scientific research; unification of Western and Eastern scientific approaches;
- Consolidation of people involved in various aspects of bioelectrogaphic investigations with the purpose of experience and results exchange;
- Development of bioelectrogaphic research within a strict scientific framework, especially concerning health aspects;
- Development of the scientific approaches to the investigation of the complex biological field of a human being;
- Investigation of Altered States of Consciousness in different types of activities: mental training, meditation, healing, top-level athletes, theatre, etc.;
 | It is necessary to increase the activity of the IUMAB and for this to happen it requires the following steps:
- to make an official Membership of the IUMAB (free of charge);
- to create a Database of Members of the IUMAB and a Directory of Members;
- to create a Web-site of the IUMAB and support exchange of information between all participants;
- to create on the Web-site several sections: research, training, talks, etc.;
- to publish Specialised Bioelectrography Leaflet;
- to organise Research Centre for IUMAB;
- to organise workshops and meetings on Bioelectrography;
- every two years, to have an International Conference on Bioelectrography.
see the Application form for the IUMAB membership.... | To reorganise the organisational structure of the IUMAB as follows: - The President is to be elected for 4 years and may be re-elected at the International Conference or by mutual agreement of the Members.
- The President is obliged to run all current activity, is given authority to issue Membership Certificates, make Agreements and sign papers for the benefit of IUMAB.
- The President makes the Official Report on the current activity at the current International Conference of the IUMAB.
- The Vice-Presidents are to be elected for every country having not less than 20 Members, by the mutual consent of the Members of the particular country.
- To establish "The Board of Honour of IUMAB" including person who have made significant contribution to the development of World Bioelectrography.
By the unanimous consent of the Members of IUMAB for the period of time 2001-2004, President Dr. Prof. Konstantin Korotkov has been elected. On behalf of the aforementioned Committee Chairman of the meeting Rosemary Steel Secretary of the meeting Matti Ollila
