By Craig Wagstaff, N.D.
Dr. Wagstaff is among the first practitioners in North America to include Psychosomatic Energetics and REBA testing in his practice. He has lectured extensively on PSE in North America and elsewhere, and PSE is a core component of his practice in Kelowna, B.C.
Factors that Interfere with REBA Testing
- Testing in a geopathic zone will produce incorrect results. Before testing in any location, the practitioner should muscle test for a geopathic zone. If the zone tests positive for interference fields, the testing area should be moved to a suitable location (free of geopathies).
- Patient or practitioner wearing anything magnetic such as bracelets, shoe inserts or other similar devices could influence test results and therefore should be removed.
- If, unknown to the tester, he/she is sleeping in a geopathic zone and has not relocated his/her bed to a non-geopathic zone it will interfere with PSE testing and correct results will not be achieved.
- Avoid strong electromagnetic fields in the testing room. Outlets and appliances in the testing room should be tested with an EMF detector. If EMF testing is not an option, unplug all electronics equipment and appliances, including telephones (especially cordless ones) in the testing room or move away from them when testing.
- When based on patient assessment or intuition the tester has expectations of results it may contribute to false results. Blind testing, with no expectations as to outcome, will produce the most accurate and favourable results. The tester should mix up the test ampoules and put the labels in a face down position for best results.
- If the patient has already started a course of Rubimed remedies he or she should have completed the first round of remedies for a period of at least a week before follow up testing is performed to determine if this conflict is complete and to identify a subsequent conflict. Testing done while a patient is currently taking Rubimed remedies will produce false results.
- Neither the patient nor the practitioner should have a cell phone or battery-powered electronic device, including some watches, on their person during testing. These should be removed and placed at least two meters away from the testing area. Generally, regular jewellery has no effect on REBA testing.
Factors that Affect the Outcome of Taking Rubimeds 
The following factors can diminish the energetic potency of the Rubimed remedies, thereby making them either less effective or ineffective.
- Heating the medications by putting them in water that is too hot (e.g. coffee or tea), leaving them in the direct sun, etc.
- Exposing medications to microwaves or other high frequencies. Do not store Rubimeds on top of a microwave oven or in a cupboard in close proximity to one.
- Keep Rubimeds away from exposure to magnets e.g. do not place Rubimeds on a magnetic blanket, close to fridge magnets, computer CPU, etc.
- Patient compliance may not be all it should be in cases where the patient feels emotionally ‘stirred-up’. Some patients feel a significant emotionalresponse to taking the Rubimed remedies and may stop taking them. Reassure the patient that this is a normal response to experience some emotional ups and downs andis part of the healing process.
