    "problem_addressed": "Lack of objective methods to detect energetic anomalies and treat ailments via bioenergetic fields.",
    "concept_summary": "The patents describe methods and devices that use biolocation-often generated by angular rotation of a steel frame or by a specially shaped metallic rod-to diagnose energetic disturbances in the human body and to apply corrective energetic, acoustic, or bee-hive-derived fields. The approach is applied to meridian diagnostics, eye-disease treatment, immune-system evaluation, and general health assessment.",
