Presentation of the second edition

There is no stopping progress! In this second edition, we have new elements that are sufficiently contrasting for us to reach greater stability in our measurements:

- A new transfer regulator which offers more advantages when we are regulating our examination field.

- Polarisation filters equivalent to types of blockages, tissue tests, tests for the pulse, etc.

For those just starting to practise, these terms may seem exotic and strange, but if you dare to venture into the method proposed by the author, you will find that they really simplify the examination and that they run along the same lines of research and remain faithful to the language of Paul Nogier, the discoverer of the RAC / VAS and  Auriculomedicine, a nomenclature which is still disputed by the academy, but justified in clinical practice.

You can also verify, in the course of your daily practice, that there are no absolute truths or restrictions, but that fortunately, on each occasion, there is a new discovery which is reflected unhesitatingly in the therapeutic effects we obtain and which can be contrasted in individualised research models.

All these new elements enable us to prescribe homeopathic medicines that have a global impact on our patients’ evolution, and to do so reliably. They also show us that auriculomedicine and homeopathy can work in tandem, which is a great deal better than practising each of them separately.

We also invite you to participate in on-line courses and to share your experiences, keeping an open mind to unexpected approaches.

Presentation of the first edition

This book is the fruit of patient research done by a doctor- researcher and those who have the courage to step outside the narrow spotlight of received wisdom. They belong to a race of explorers that has become a rarity today, in the faint-hearted world of conformism. It is the generous and filial sharing of a unique heritage drawn from countless hours of tests, repeats, trials, deceptions, accumulated joys; the slow ripening of a subtle attention to the invisible and crucial thread that links body and space, cosmos and physiology, against a background of dynamic adaptation.

It is well-known that the therapist is much more patient than his patient. He builds his expertise on observations and experiments, nurturing it by reading and making constant adjustments as the progress of scientific knowledge enhances his understanding. But sometimes it is difficult for him to make his voice heard and gain acceptance: how can he transmit such density of work; how can he enable younger generations to be enriched by such a complex yet exalting body of experience?

For there can be no doubt that without enthusiasm there can be no appreciation of the motivation that made it possible to support several decades of ungrateful isolation and solitary reflection. We must first and foremost be fired with enthusiasm, before becoming accustomed to its blazing light.

Whatever the case may be, we have here at our disposal a successful, condensed handbook, very operational and pragmatic. As you read through it and try out its techniques, you will be able to check, correct, extend its study and continue the work. By so doing, you will be respecting the author’s attitude to his work: never dogmatic, always cautious and vetting his ideas with the scepticism for which he is renowned. That way, he guards us against the ever present risk of falling prey to illusions or too rapid generalisations. Hard facts are all that count.

Alongside this treasure trove of teaching and non-invasive diagnostic tools, André Lentz reveals the existence and the properties of an interface that is essential for doctors: an interface that we have been able to identify, by analysing the way he practises, as a periderm, that is to say a close-up of part of a more general corporeal field, endowed with the capacity to recognise stimuli which we present to it (the ring tests for colours, substances or polarisation) and linked in the RAC/VAS signal to the activity of the sympathetic nervous system.

The author has been one of the first – and one of the rare – investigators to understand the existence and the information data of a three-dimensional perisomatic system, probably photonic in nature, which displays precious information about the inner state of the person being tested, at least for those who know how to decipher the information thanks to the amazing measuring tool discovered by P. Nogier: the vascular signal. He very early on realised the importance of the geometric aspects of electromagnetic phenomena that accompany what is well-termed a biophysical field and linked the latter to the state of activity of the neurotransmitters and the state of blockages in the transfer of information from white light between the periphery and the centre….

But at the same time he showed that the whole cutaneous surface needs to be taken into account, with a specific geometry (temporal quadrants, reactional axes…). He therefore belongs to the long line of pioneers, not just of Auriculomedicine but also of the discipline it belongs to and which we have suggested should be called the Peridermal Discipline: the study of the information properties of the perisomatic fields¹.

This work will mark an important stage on the continuing journey of discovery about living processes and their pathologies. It stems from a deep understanding of what it means to have a true relationship with a tradition such as Information Medicines developed by Nogier: loyalty to the changing dynamics of independent research, rather than to the stultified or nostalgic orthodoxy of the past.

Preface to the second edition

The use of a diffracting filter has allowed our tests and some of our conceptions to evolve. The diffracting filter has the property of cancelling transfers and has the effect of resetting to zero, which stops interference between pathological states and the regulation of transfers effected by our tests.

Remember that regulating the transfers allows the subject’s reactions to his environment to be adjusted. That avoids all interference with the practitioner, who is himself regulated by putting the test in position, and at the same time it cancels out all interference with the environment. The regulation also allows hidden dysfunctions to be expressed.

Thanks to the use of the diffracting filter, constructing the regulator is simplified. Previously, we had a combination of polarising filters which had to adapt to all kinds of pathological associations. These  associations provoked modifications of the fields in various directions, which the polarisers reorganised into a single and reproducible three-dimensional configuration. After the regulation suggested in the first edition, we used the RT 19 proposed in the chapter on research. That was already very efficient and I thank Doctor Mauricio Vargas, who used it systematically and confirmed its usefulness. Indeed, as I was no longer consulting, it was difficult for me to test it out on a large scale. Retirement has the advantage of giving time for thought and taking one’s time over suggesting new ways forward, but a test cannot be validated unless it proves to be useful and its effect can be reproduced on a majority of people. Such was the case for the RT 19. However, it revealed many blockages which I had always called diathetic. This type of blockage had always seemed strange to me and    constantly raised questions. Indeed, according to the techniques used, these blockages varied in frequency. I had even published an article entitled Evolution and the programmed end of diathetic blockages in Icamar in 2015. It took the construction of the RT 20 to understand    where the source of the problem lay.

This RT 20 is the new transfer regulator. Its construction is simplified by the use of the diffracting filter and it proved more efficient in use than the RT 19. It enabled me to develop my ideas about diathetic blockages, as I will explain later.  Once again it was Doctor Mauricio Vargas and Doctor François Grégoire’s interest in the test that allowed me to validate it. It is these new tests and new ideas that justify the publication of this second edition.

In this edition, I could have replaced paragraphs such as the diathetic blockage, the regulation of transfers by three tests and the RT 19. I chose instead to add the new findings and leave the other texts untouched. In fact, they are not obsolete, even if the new tests perform better. The previous tests will help researchers understand how these new discoveries have enabled our research and ideas to evolve. 

The on-line course.

Following on from the book, we published a complete video course on the www.auriculo.fr website.

It is open to all and free. Many people think that anything free is worthless, but what would be the point of 40 years’ research if I did not seek to make my discoveries known and share them?  What matters most to me is sharing. Free Internet access and Wikipedia are all the fashion. I know full well that great things can be done with money, but knowledge can be shared just as well without wanting to make money out of it. I am grateful to those who taught me, for free, how to set up an Internet site and to those who, also for free, provided me with the essential tools, especially spip et sarkaspip. The Internet is often criticised, yet it can be a valuable tool for sharing and exchanging.

It is true that it can be dangerous in some ways to put such teaching within reach of a large number of people. However, there are hardly any other solutions available for a method that is so severely ostracised.  So-called rational people reject it, based on preconceived ideas and principles considered to be the only acceptable ones. It never seriously occurs to them to try out a technique that has been approved by thousands of practitioners, in spite of the fact that it is only by putting it into practice that its value can be truly appreciated. Its apprenticeship nevertheless requires some investment in time and effort, which limits its expansion. Its worth will be demonstrated, given time, but it is difficult to do so in the light of current scientific methods and ideas.

As with all scientific progress, the biggest danger lies with misuse and money-making aspirations on behalf of people who, uncontrolled, make unfounded claims. A certain number of people have engaged in questionable behaviour that has cast aspersions on the method. It is vital not to make hasty claims and interpretations about our tests and always to check our findings against proven, conventional examinations. 

Those who work with me know that I do not easily accept new findings without their being verified on many people and by several practitioners. They know that I regularly question the validity of my own discoveries.

But there is a narrow gap between allowing free flow to a serious innovation and judging whether a practice is questionable. Great discoveries cast doubt on what is universally admitted and therefore they develop on the margins, but what is marginal is not necessarily a step forward or progressive. We must each form our own opinions without blocking innovation but also without naively accepting all new ideas. Categorical judgments are easier to shout from the rooftops than bona fide research which requires time and patience.

The Research

There was a misunderstanding between Paul Nogier and many of his students. Many were looking to apply a fashionable procedure to treat their patients and wanted formulas without necessarily understanding the basics. However, Paul Nogier was teaching a method and his own research and wanted his students to use both of them carefully and verify the results. From the outset of auriculotherapy, he explained that there were no recipes and that treatment
