Abstract
Reliability of Mandel's Energy Emission Analysis (EEA) in Sick PersonsOBJECTIVE: Is the Energy Emission Analysis (EEA) according to Mandel a reliable diagnostic instrument in severely diseased patients? PATIENTS: 30 patients of the Stauferklinik Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany, suffering from a great variety of diseases. STUDY DESIGN: At regular intervals of 10-15 min 4 Kirlian photos of fingers and toes were taken from each patient. An experienced rater blindly assessed all photos according to the EEA sectors with respect to remarkable phenomena. Additionally he defined the most affected circles of functions of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). RESULTS: The circles of functions of kidney/bladder and spleen/pancreas/stomach appeared to be the most affected in nearly all photos, the reliability is estimated by a rather low intraclass-kappa of 0.14 (95% CI: 0.00-0.29, p = 0.0279. Reliabilities of single EEA sectors also are low and similar to those of healthy persons. CONCLUSIONS: The reasons for the moderate reliability may be attributed to fluctuations of Chi, increasing regulation rigidity of diseased persons or simply to technical limitations of the method.Possibly new realtime Kirlian devices can provide additional information.
