Geopathology

Geopathology (also Geopathy) is a theory that links the Earth's inherent radiation with the health of humans, animals and plants.
The term is derived from Greek γεω- (geō-), combining form of γῆ (gê, “earth”)
and πάθος (páthos, “suffering”) - ie pathology, widely used to describe infirmities.
The term is more widely used in the adjectival form ie 'geopathic' (sometimes 'geopathological') and often linked to 'stress', creating the terms 'geopathic stress' and 'geostress'.
Gustav Frieherr von Pohl has been described as the modern 'father' of geopathic stress. von Pohl conducted a study in the Bavarian town of Vilsbiburg in 1929 which purported to link focus points of 'earth-radiation' ger. "Erdstrahlen" with incidence of cancer.
Ley lines (a supposition introduced by Alfred Watkins in 1925) have also been suggested to create geopathic stress.
Geopathic stress (GS).
It is suggested that the Earth has a natural vibration, but features like underground watercourses, drainage pipes, underground tunnels and even simple geological faults distort this vibration. Such distorted vibrations are held to rise upwards through the Earth's surface and create an pernicious effect on the health and/or behaviour of all biological life. The distortions are amplified during night hours and consequently the impact is greater if the focal point of the adverse radiation is a bedroom, also noting that the subject, during the time of sleep, will be continually located in the path of such radiation.
