Five unconventional, noninvasive diagnostic methods were studied, which are as follows

• Iridology: The science of observing the pathology of different organs in the iris
  of the eye.
  
   
• Graphology: How changes in the handwriting reflect problems in the body.
  
   
• Pranic diagnosis: How changes in human energy fields can be used
  to diagnose illnesses in the physical body.
  
   
• Astrological diagnosis: How the planetary positions can predict the organs
  that are weak or will be affected by disease.
  
   
• Nadi diagnosis: How changes in the pulse can be used to diagnose
  not only the cardiovascular status but changes in the whole body.
  
   

PILOT STUDY : CORRELATION OF DIAGNOSIS BETWEEN THE UNCONVENTIONAL
AND CONVENTIONAL DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES

The first phase of this project was successfully completed a year ago in the Ramachandra Medical College and Hospital, Chennai. Two astrologers, two pranic healers and a graphologist studied 50 cases of various illnesses and reported their findings. There was a concurrence of 48% between Pranic diagnosis and the conventional system, 70% with the Nadi diagnosis and 40% with the astrological diagnosis. As the study used a heterogeneous group, it was difficult to really study the advantages and disadvantages of each diagnostic technique within itself and across others. So a second phase of study has been done with 50 well diagnosed cases. These cases will be studied by 4 methods and inferences plotted. These techniques are without intrusion and open new vistas into realms not explored by conventional medicine.
