The engineer and technician Winfried M. Dochow found this out when he was forced to completely re-evaluate his life in the 70s following a severe illness. He searched for and found help in natural medicine after traditional medicine had given up on him. His complete recovery inspired him to research the links between man and nature more closely. Studying old healing sciences also played an important role, as these are specifically based on the interaction between man and nature.
In 1982, he began experimenting on avoiding and removing negative environmental influences which had long been recognised as causing or worsening many typical 'diseases of civilisation'. During the process, he developed a completely new technology which uses counter-vibrations (=destructive interference) to neutralise damaging information vibrations. In 1986, expert panels at the Leikos Institute in Saarlouis became involved in developing and researching this technology.
Between 1990 and 1997, this was followed by joint research in the field at the Ludwig-Bolzmann Institute and the Joanneum Research Centre in Graz. After several hundred thousands of individual experiments and series of tests, the first transformer was born. In 1992, Winfried M. Dochow also set up his own research establishment in Soltau, the "IbA" (institute for bio-energetic analysis).
