                                                        The Missing Link

Quite a few years ago I came across a training program called “Light Touch Therapy” which dealt with aligning and balancing the posture by way of lightly rub (or just energetically activating) certain meridian reflex points on the buttocks, spinal column, shoulder, neck and abdomen. Prior to the therapy, client’s postural distortions would be evaluated via a plumb line and visual observation. These distortions would be the amount of deviation from plumb line (in inches), presence of flexion, pelvis rotation and shift. A simple calculation and empirical therapy steps (based on Dr. John Hurley DC of 1920’s, followed up with Dr. Rosquist and using the laws of mechanic) would then be used to start the adjustment. I found this method so intriguing that I kept studying the mechanics of body posture and its astounding effects on total health and wellbeing. I went through more training and received certification in biomechanic.

The results of postural correction on the entire body system was nothing but miraculous, at times its similarity with homeopathy was astonishing, when following the therapy many old, chronic ailments would start to show up, making the body take them on and finally deal with them. Herxheimer reactions (healing crisis) were not uncommon. I saw very skinny young boys and girls with “beer belly” even on the best nutritional regimen whose bulge disappeared after a posture correction.

Our body structure is held in place with the help of bones, muscles (ligaments, tendons, joints) and fascia. Any distortion or disorder in any of these organs will affect almost every part of our body. These organs but are under constant attack from birth throughout the life. External forces such as extreme pressures, hits, falls and other traumas and accidents all contribute to postural misalignment. A stationary, sedentary lifestyle (such as prolonged sitting by the TV/computer, Cellphone or in the car behind the wheel) helps posture distortion. In addition, our vertebral discs get their nutrition/oxygen via diffusion/convection from vertebral endplates as the disks have no blood supply of their own, and the diffusion takes place only under load/movement. No exercise or movement translates in no nutrition/oxygen to our vertebral discs resulting in inevitable disc degeneration. Another factor in posture misalignment is lack of nutrients. Our cells need proper nutrients in proper amounts as well as enough oxygen to function correctly. Today our food generally lacks good nutrients and our air has less oxygen as it used to. Our posture is also directly and bidirectionally related to our mood/emotions. Our autonomic nervous system correlates well with our psychological state: sad and depressed people are usually slouching while happy energetic ones are in extended position!

One of Skenar Therapy protocols (a type of biofeedback device in which I had extensive training) called “Little Wing” aimed at balancing the sphenoid bone in the skull. This bone is of outmost importance as it connects to almost every other bone in the skull. Any misalignment of this bone will affect our entire system including hormonal and nerves. It was amazing how addressing this bone relieved chronic head- aches, improved sinus troubles, vision, mood and the list goes on. The Skenar results was another indication for me that a chiropractic test/adjustment is a necessity for a comprehensive health plan. There is also a new simple procedure from a Chiropractor to address the imbalances of the skull bones. Called “Cranial Facial Release” .It involves inserting a small balloon in the nasopharynges and inflating

It for a second. This procedure is way faster and more effective than Skenar therapy protocol. People have reported to me numerous magical results in their general health.

So I found my missing link in the realm of natural health. I firmly believe that no natural health program is complete without a body posture evaluation. Every person starting from very young age should be checked by a competent chiropractor, utilizing imaging techniques and manual posture alignment. Many postural disturbances DO NOT SHOW SYMPTOMS for many years, and by the time symptoms appear we might be already in deep trouble.

Chi Exerciser

Posted on by

By enabling the body to move gently from side to side in a figure of eight, the oxygen absorption might be maximized. As a passive aerobic exercise, the Chi Machine maximizes supplemental oxygenation of the entire body via physical stimulation.
It creates a balanced, rhythmic, relaxing wave-like motion throughout the body, enhancing the metabolic rate, aiding detoxification via the lymphatic system and aligning the spine. These also contribute to sharper mental activity, focus and alertness.

Due to its low impact operation, the Chi Machine is also extremely valuable for the frail, physically challenged, seniors or bedridden, as they will benefit tremendously from the general body oxygenation and the movement of lymphatic fluid.

Bio Terrain Assessment (BTA)

Posted on by

The BTA tests are intended for nutritional assessment purposes only and are mostly of “Do It Yourself” types. No medical claims are made based on these tests results.

Free Radicals-Oxidative Stress

This is used to assess electron potential and cell damage. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules with uncoupled electrons and are by-products of normal metabolic reactions.

As cells begin to steal electrons from each other, cell destruction results. High oxidation rate leads to fatigue and stressed body systems.

Electrolyte Dynamics: Flow of  Energy

Electrolyte solutions can enhance our cell function if they are balanced. Any imbalance here will upset the normal electrical flow through cells.

Nitrates Assessment for Immune Weakness/Stress

Nitrates are end product of nitric oxide (NO). NO is made by the body for a short time to mediate chemical situations. It is stimulated by low oxygen or high carbon monoxide and converts to a free radical. Nitrate test can assess an array of systems stress and oxidation.

Lemon Juice Test for Mineral Reserve and pH Assessment

Minerals are needed in the body for enzyme activity. By subjecting a person to lemon juice, the mineral buffer system reactions can be observed along a time line, and the available mineral reserves, degree of stress and mineral depletion risk factors monitored.

Ammonia Discharge: Assessment of Stress and Acidity

During protein metabolism nitrogen wastes are produced. The first nitrogen containing molecules formed is ammonia (NH3), which must be excreted by the body before it raises body fluid pH. Too much or too little ammonia causes imbalance in the system (like out of balance acid/alkaline ratio). Ammonia is also an adaptation response to mental, emotional, stress and other acid forming causes and its monitoring provide clues to body stress condition.

(Cl-) Displacement and System Stress

This test helps determine the degree of energy output of the body, the burden on the fluid balancing systems, the probable buffering- and mineral deficiency and the level of body stress. When stress activity and acidity is high or low, certain minerals (Na, K, Mg) that are bound to chloride are displaced. High acidity is the result of hyper-stimulated  sympathetic system, which stimulates certain body control systems.

Pulse Pressure Test for Stress Evaluation

The fact that a non-stressed body responds by blood pressure rising when standing up from a lying position can be used to evaluate system stress.

Pupil Size Observation

Stress can be assessed by looking at the pupil size in response to application and removal of a light source (such as a flash light).

Basal (at rest) Temperature Test

Basal temperature test is a simple method to monitor how the body uses some of the hormones that control that control the efficiency of its heat production.

Iodine Absorption Test

Is used to assess the absorption of the element iodine, which is very important for the body normal hormonal functions.

Digestion Assessment:  Malabsorption/HCl Evaluation

A proper protein absorption through the digestion system is of great importance

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) plays a big role in providing appropriate medium for the enzymes to break down the food and any imbalance in this system leads to undigested food, resulting in an overgrowth of pathogens and a host of other problems.

Enzyme Assessment

Digestive enzymes are the most important step in food digestion. Any imbalance here leads to undigested food, a whole range of problems and the suffering of intestinal flora.

Total Sugar Test

This is not a test for diabetes or glucose measurement. It is a “total sugars” assessment for evaluation of the body sugar metabolism meaning “high’ or “low” sugars.

Sugar metabolism has a tremendous importance in our ability to access the appropriate energy production pathways. Without its proper control and balance energy production will fluctuate. Some of the factors contributing to sugar imbalance are improper diet, stress, hormonal factors and lack of physical exercise. There are 2 major genotypes regarding sugar metabolism. The “glucogenic” type people who are deficient in oxidative energy metabolism from fats. Their system prefers to burn energy through citric acid cycle, i.e.  burning sugars as fuel. The “ketogenic” type people who are deficient in oxidative energy metabolism produced from amino acids. Their system prefers to burn fats via beta hydroxybutyric acid cycle. Both imbalance types are continuously struggling with sugar control. The “sugar meter” reads both high sugars (ketogenic) and low sugars (glucogenic).

Certain foods are good for one type and bad for another, especially due to different tendencies regarding acidity/alkalinity of the two genotypes.

Breath Test

This test determines the time a person is able to hold breath, which may point to the sugar metabolism genotypes. The Glucogenics have shorter breath-hold ability due to burning sugar and increased production of CO2 which leads to more oxygen requirement.

Lipid Panel Test

As high lipids oxidation, ammonia and electrolytes lead to numerous imbalances, it is good to know the lipid levels. This test evaluates the lipid levels in conjunction with other oxidative measures and is used solely for evaluation of oxidative stress on the body.

Mineral Calcium Assessment

Calcium is involved in vital functions of the body, such as in bones, muscle contraction, nerve impulses and the regulation of numerous other body reactions. As such it is very important to evaluate the body’s calcium reserves

Vitamin C Assessment

Vitamin C is involved in literally hundreds of biological activities in the body. Some conditions associated with vitamin C imbalance are low immune functions, fragile  capillaries, allergies, scurvy, etc.

This is a quick test to assess the body’s vitamin C status.

Hydration Index

When the body is dehydrated, it takes the water out of cells to dilute the acidity. As water is a good signal conductor, without it the cell communication will be affected dramatically

Zinc Test

Zinc is associated with tremendous amount of important body functions. It is mostly lacking in today’s modern diet. Zinc is important for enzyme production and is an essential cofactor of immune and reproductive systems. This is a simple yet reliable test that shows instantly the body’s zinc status.

Chemstrip Tests

These tests are basically a series of Do It Yourself  assessment for evaluation of several body systems stress level.

Osteomark NTx

This is a lab test for a non-medical evaluation of bones condition. It provides a quantitative measure of the excretion of cross-linked N-telopeptides of type I collagen.

NTx is ideal for identifying the probability for a decrease in bone mineral density after one year in postmenopausal women receiving calcium supplements.

Iridology

Posted on by

Iris may reveal body constitution, inherent weaknesses, the degree of well-being and its development according to the way a person lives.

As an analytical tool along with other assessment modalities, iridology may provide an insight into one’s state of well-being. The iris is connected to every organ and tissue of the body by way of brain and nervous system. Both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system are present in the iris.

Iridology is used to observe normal and abnormal reflex signs. It helps assess the inherited weaknesses and strengths and the results of inappropriate living practices. A perfect eye shows no holes, inherent weakness signs, distortion of fibers, deposits and will display a perfect color. Any deviation from these findings is considered a sign of lowered function or disharmony.

Iridology may reveal under-activity of body systems, or how one responds to certain treatments over a period of time.

By using a flashlight and a magnifying glass or camera, iris is being observed for marks and signs of imbalance, as many nerve endings in the eye are linked to various body systems.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)

Posted on by

Hair contains all the minerals present in the body, including nutritional as well as toxic heavy metals. Human hair has been accepted as an effective tissue for biological monitoring of toxic heavy metals by the US EPA. Hair accumulates all important trace elements, is a commonly available tissue, is wide spread geographically, is easily collected, stored and transported. Hair specimen can be re-sampled and is present in polluted and non-polluted areas. The content of hair correlates also with environmental gradient of metals. For many years hair has been used as an indicator for nutritional status and supplementation in animals. Several minerals such as calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium help regulate our energy production. Only if these minerals are at normal levels, then the body will be working at peak efficiency. Another important aspect is the ratio between these minerals. For example, the ratios of Ca/K and Na/Mg determine how fuel (such as sugars) is provided and burned to supply energy.

HTMA as a lab test measures the mineral contents of hair and provides a picture of the body’s internal environment. It is important to know that what serves as good nutrition for one person may not be good for another. HTMA will greatly help to assess correctly the true nutritional needs of a person, which supplements to take and which to avoid.

Jade Far-infrared (FIR) Thermal Bed

Posted on by

The FIR bed targets body’s vital pressure points along the spine with a precise relaxing massage that provides the benefits of a massage, acupressure and FIR heat. The FIR heat being absorbed into the jade (a shiny green precious stone that is a natural transmitter of FIR rays in the same wave length as the human body) rollers, deliver a penetrating contact-heat to the parts of the body being massaged. FIR heat travels directly into the muscles without heating the air between the body and the source. The jades also produce negative ions which encourage the cell metabolism, increasing thereby vitality and immune function. FIR bed alleviates the stress and pain that accumulate in the body from everyday living by improving the blood circulation, loosening stiff muscles and easing joint pain.

According to Traditional Eastern Medicine, particular points on the body are connected and correspond to various body systems. The majority of these “pressure points” are located near the spine. The combination of comprehensive deep tissue jade roller manipulation and deep tissue body penetration of FIR light and heat work to realign the body to a more healthy and balanced posture. The energy flow is enhanced, pressure on nerves is relieved , blood flow optimized and regenerative ability of body’s own natural healing encouraged.

Live and Dry Blood Assessment

Posted on by

Dry Blood Analysis (DBA) is not a diagnostic or treatment method, rather a screening tool to help assess nutritional needs. During 1920’s the German scientist Dr. Enderlein noticed a correlation between abnormalities in the body and the patterns in the dried blood.

In 1930’s Dr. Bowlen introduced DBA in US. By observing the dried blood of healthy people and people with imbalances and abnormalities, certain blood patterns could be associated with nutritional deficiencies or excesses. Through observation of the blood cell structure, the plasma fluid and other parts of the blood, one’s nutritional status could be assessed. A sound balanced blood should show no yeast, fungus, parasites, molds, damaged cells, bacteria, free radical manifestation, impaired oxygen carrying capabilities, overacidity signs etc., rather it should represent a clean picture.

The Live Blood Analysis (LBA) can show what is happening in the blood at any given time. While DBA pictures would suggest how the body is coping with stress and imbalances the LBA shows what the body is struggling against at the present time. Observing LBA and DBA patterns and structures is a quick way of assessing unhealthy conditions and provide the first warning signals for development of body imbalances. They can also be used for monitoring the efficacy of different treatments and nutritional programs a person is having.

Because during a DBA or LBA the person will be able to watch the blood condition on the screen of a monitor, the process could serve as a good educational and motivational tool towards changing bad eating habits.

Resonant Field Imaging™ (RFI)

Posted on by

RFI is an electromagnetic feedback and imaging method or process and is not intended to affect the structure or any biological body function. It is an analysis tool that identifies energy information. RFI is based on the presumption of the existence of the aura, i.e. all mental activity being electromagnetic.

RFI identifies and interprets 15 colors of bioenergy representing all 15 distinguishable colors of the optical spectrum. RFI looks at mental activities as electrical signals that travel through the nervous system and radiate electrical fields characteristic of the mental activity which generated them.

As color is frequency, the aura colors can be detected by identifying the precise frequency of bioenergy field in a specific location of the body. As emotions are energy reactions to a perception, when a person has a psychological perception of him/herself and environment, being a mental process, electrical impulses are induced which affect related systems ( for example a perception of fear stimulates certain organs via the brain). The electrical impulses travel throughout the nervous system thereby creating characteristic electrical fields. Each person sends out waves of different lengths. Personal wavelengths are as individual as fingerprints. Each person and each part or system of the body produces different frequencies.

The human energy field is a collection of electromagnetic energies of varying densities that permeate through and emit or exit from the physical body of a living person. From an energetic point of view the energy imbalances and blockages are usually due to trauma, stress, abuse, deficiencies, external pathogens, autointoxication and immune dysfunction.

Like all other modalities and devices described in these pages, RFI is also in no way a diagnostic tool but merely an analytical one that should accompany other assessment tools and methods. It is only used to interpret body auras and bioenergy fields.

SCENAR

Posted on by

SCENAR stands for Self Controlling Energo Neuro Adaptive Regulator. The technology is based on the concept that human body is a complex bioenergetic self-correcting system with an innate ability to maintain energetic balance between its different systems and parts.

Health problem arise when body functions come out of balance. To correct the imbalances often just a minor pulse will start body’s own healing mechanisms, and Scenar generates such an impulse. Scenar produces dynamically changing signals that when contacting the skin initiate a biofeedback dialogue with the body. Each Scenar signal helps regulate body’s functions and is controlled by the body through the feedback loop. No two consecutive signals from Scenar are the same, adjusting for the state of the body from moment to moment and the person’s condition changing and improving.

Areas of the skin that are reflexively or neurologically connected to stressed or adapted systems will demonstrate changed or abnormal electrical characteristics. Scenar generates a specific stimulating signal that brings the brain’s focus back to the acute problem areas for body’s own rapid healing processes to start.

Scenar was approved by USSR Medical Council since 1986 and is certified by European Common Market for pain control. In US it is registered with FDA as a biofeedback device for muscle re-education and relaxation training.

Far-infrared (FIR) Sauna

Posted on by

Activated by heat, the FIR material of the sauna emits FIR energy, which is absorbed by the body and establishes a resonance, thereby instantly initiating cellular activities resulting in a better blood circulation and overall improved metabolism.

The FIR waves stimulate the release of Nitric Oxide (NO) from cells which relaxes and expands the circulatory system for more efficient circulation and oxygenation of all body’s tissues and cells.

Because FIR sauna’s heat speeds up the metabolic process of vital body systems, a substantial caloric loss may also result. FIR ray energy is a form of sun light energy minus the skin damaging UV. FIR is capable of penetrating, refracting, radiating and reflecting.

The fact that FIR penetrates deep into body’s tissues explains its high rate of absorption.

The thermal effect within the tissues deep layers contribute to dilation of blood vessels and capillaries, resulting in a better blood circulation. The produced heat helps the body rid of toxins and metabolic wastes through sweating.

The FIR waves are not blocked by the air molecules and can penetrate a couple of inches into the body. While the person feels quite warm and perspires, the skin is not hurt by hot air found in conventional heat therapy devices.

Cold Laser

Posted on by

In 1965 Drs. Sinclair, Knoll and Master pioneered the way for therapeutic lasers. These lasers don’t cut or destroy tissue, rather stimulate and thereby provide a healing effect. The energy here is of a non-thermal light photons, which can be absorbed by the body and be converted to chemical energy and so initiate numerous balancing functions.

Unlike other light sources, laser is coherent, meaning the oscillation is in the same direction and phase. This is very beneficial as the body communicates also in the same coherent light language. By stimulating the body with an appropriate laser light of wave-length 630-980 nanometer, the body can be aided for proper oxygenation and detoxification of the cells and tissue regeneration.

Hot lasers used for medical purposes can increase the temperature of the contact surface, While cold laser (a term used for Low Level Laser Therapy or LLLT) will not raise that temperature. Cold lasers are used for tissue stimulation without having sufficient strength to cause cell damage (staring directly into the laser beam should be avoided as it could irritate the retina and damage the eye). Once the cold laser light energy enters the tissue photochemical reactions take place, which will stimulate the natural biological processes that help control the pain and initiate body’s own healing mechanisms (photons that enter the damaged cells, produce energy—ATP—improving their function, assist cell division, strengthening the immune system and the secretion of various hormones.



Detox Foot Bath

Posted on by

The foot bath unit produces a bio-charge that resonates throughout the water at a frequency specific to each individual person who is having a session. The negative ions released during a session are similar to those found in hot springs and other naturally charged water sources. They help to rebalance the body’s energy meridians by permeating and realigning a person’s energy field, thereby enhancing and amplifying the body’s ability to heal itself.

It is typical for a person to feel relaxed with a heightened mental clarity right after a foot-bath session.

The power supply of the unit generates and sends a direct current (DC) through a set of electrodes submerged in water which produce large quantities of negative ions. The refreshing feeling when walking along the beach is contributed to the ionic field produced as water molecules smash together on the sand. The ions are able to enter the body through relatively large pores of the feet and be transported throughout the body by circulatory and lymphatic systems. The ions can potentially neutralize the oppositely charged toxins in the cells and so contribute to the body optimal functionality by ridding of toxins, free radicals and body’s waste products

According to reflexology practices, the feet are channels through which the body attempts to clean itself of toxic wastes. Some of the reasons behind foot bath function include:

  • Electro-osmosis created by toxic concentration gradient and electrochemical potential gradient developed across the skin
  • Increased skin permeability under applied electric current around the environment
  • A current-induced water transport effect

Once the feet are placed in the foot bath, large quantity of ions enter the skin and turn the naturally acidic skin (pH=6) into alkaline (higher pH). The change of pH allows the skin to be permeable to variety of anions(-) and cations(+). The ions are then transported through the body. Many toxins are detached from the cell membrane after being neutralized by the ions and can be removed by intracellular fluid through electro-osmosis

 

Mental Exercise Biofeedback

Posted on by

This interactive program is designed to help and aid one to uncover the body’s own natural ability to relax and decompress from day-to-day work overload. It monitors the physical & emotional responses to activities and provides feedback that helps learn how to activate and balance oneself. The program measures body’s reaction to one’s physical and mental energy.

The body’s innate relaxation response is an incredibly effective remedy for stress and anxiety.

This program utilizes finger sensors to monitor the person’s internal physiological states and provides a feedback aiding the person to learn to control these states. The program measures Skin Conductance Level (SCL), indicating sweat gland activity, and the Heart Rate Variability (HRV), the difference in heart rate from one heart beat to another.

Increased perspiration is a sign of increased autonomic nervous system activation which is associated with increased energy — positive as in excitement — and negative, such as nervousness. The person is expected to attain the goal of a greater HRV in order to complete a program activity. Both SCL and HRV can be displayed on the computer monitor at any time during a session.


Aculife Device

Posted on by

Based on Traditional Chinese Acupuncture, through stimulation of hands, ears or forearm by extra long magnetic waves, the body microcirculation can be improved, metabolism accelerated and the immune system boosted.

Energy (called also chi or qi) circulates throughout the body along pathways called meridians. The electrical energy travels along these pathways separate from the nervous system. Meridians are channels with 20-50 milimicron in diameter. The places where the meridians’ branches reach the skin’s surface are called acupuncture and pressure points.

With the invention of modern electronics we have now the ability to test acupuncture points and measure the resistance they offer. When resistance is strong, it indicates that the electrical current is weaker than it should be, a sign of “deficiency” in “vital energy.”

When the resistance measured is low, the current is too strong, resulting in an excess energy. With Aculife applied to the hand, a stinging or prickling sensation would indicate an abnormal flow of electricity through meridians at various acupoints around the body corresponding with the parts of the hands being touched. In “Detect” mode, Aculife can identify the acupoints where the resistance is out of balance. By stimulating these points in “Relieve” mode, the energy flow in these acupoints can be restored to their correct level resulting in the body’s own initiation of any self-healing processes.

Light Touch Bioenergy Alignment (LTBA)

Posted on by

LTBA is a procedure consisting of lightly rubbing numerous reflex points on the back, neck & shoulder, along the spine, the sacrum, and the back of the hips. By rubbing these areas in a certain way the muscles being rubbed start to relax thereby allow the body to realign itself. This alignment will take away the stress off of numerous body systems, that couldn’t function properly under the stress of misalignment. Rubbing the reflex points will also unblock several energy pathways (meridians) that run through several body systems, allowing the body to start its own healing processes.

Herbology

Posted on by

Throughout the history, plants have been used as the major source of medical treatments all over the world. Even today plants are an important source for production of medicinal drugs. The Europeans and Mediterraneans referred to plants that were used for medicine as “herbs”. Today the term herbs refer to any part of a plant used for flavoring or medicine. As such, the herbs could be a bark, flower, fruit, leaf or root of any plant, while herbology refers to the science & art of using plants for their healing properties. In US, the FDA classifies herbs as foods when no claims are made for them to treat, mitigate, prevent or cure any diseases. The herbs are regulated as medicine if any medicinal claims are made. Herbalists work towards strengthening body’s own healing abilities by using herbs nutritionally to cleanse, nourish and let the body heal itself. Herbs contain numerous organic elements & minerals that will support body’s natural functions

Herbs are typically administered either orally or applied externally. The modern herbologists often try first to initiate a detoxification of body systems and thereby create the internal environment for the body to start its own healing. After the initial detox, nutritive herbs can be used to provide the body with the tools it needs to start the healing process. Herbs have an energetic aspect that is well defined in Chinese as well as in Indian Ayurvedic medicine. In this context, many herbs are used in homeopathy which is mostly an energetic self-healing system

Herbs functions are similar to food. They supply the body with energy just as food does. Just as food contains certain vitamins, minerals etc., so do herbs, and therefore both need to be used wisely & responsibly otherwise they can do more harm than good.

ERE is based on the concept of reflexology by utilizing low frequency stimulation of feet by way of acupressure points in the soles of the feet to provide relief from pain, tension, soreness & muscle spasms. ERE stimulates key reflex points which in turn promote blood circulation while loosening tense muscle tissues, releasing foot soreness, leg pain, swelling, stiffness and general pain in lower back. This helps the body restore and maintain its vital balance.

According to Eastern medicine, the soles of feet & hands are divided in several sections, whose stimulation & massage relieves stress, tension & pain (by releasing trapped energies). ERE combines foot reflexology with electro stimulation. By incorporating a heated footrest, it provides a relaxing & energizing effect that let the body reach its natural balance & harmony. By helping the flow of energy through painful areas, healing effects can be promoted.


 

Homeopathy

Posted on by

Homeopathy is based on the principle that substances which cause symptoms of an imbalance at an overdose, will counteract the same imbalance when taken in extremely minute dose by stimulating the body’s natural healing systems. This principle was coined “like cures like” and thus the word homeopathy( homoios=similar, pathos=suffering ). Hippocrates (4th century B.C.) talks about this as “similars are healed by similars.”  Instead of trying to suppress symptoms of an imbalance in the body, homeopathy assists the body’s own immune system to deal with it. In this context the homeopathy looks at symptoms positively, messages from the body of some malfunction- for example raising the body temperature to deal with infections- and so it would not be wise to go after these “messages” rather than the malfunction itself

In homeopathy the more an original substance is diluted, the more potent the end result will become. Homeopathy is also person & symptoms specific, as no two people are the same. Homeopathic remedies are matched to each person unique characteristics.  It is very important to select a homeopathic remedy whose characteristics match all or most of the symptoms a person displays, by observing the very small differences that one person has to another.

Today almost 1/3 of France’s family doctors prescribe homeopathic products. In Britain over 40% of physicians refer patients for homeopathic treatment. Throughout Europe homeopathy is widely used. In US the homeopathic remedy manufacturing is strictly regulated by FDA.

Bioenergetic Analysis Device: Asyra

Posted on by

The concept for interfacing resonance analysis technology goes to Dr. Voll in 1950’s (Electro Acupuncture according to Voll, E.A.V). The amount of current passing through cellular structure of body’s systems reveals functional status of the systems. As the  assessment is based on defined parameters of health, any deviation from this standard can easily be detected. Once problem areas in the body are identified, representative electromagnetic signatures of remedies are sent to the body & their response is measured, allowing to monitor how one responds to a remedy before it is administered. The Asyra analyzes the impedance & reactive capacitance of the body’s energetic fields. According to Dr. Reckeweg, M.D., disease processes first alter the body’s energetic field, eventually leading to chemical changes & finally to tissue destruction and/or disease. The Asyra contains tens of thousands of specific frequencies in a computer hard drive that can be transmitted into the body for evaluation. The specific frequencies that the body  finds of value can then be imprinted into a carrier solution( such as water and alcohol) and if a drop of it is taken in, the specific frequencies enter the body, distribute through the energetic nervous system and stimulate the cells to respond.

Description of Modalities, Procedures & Devices

Posted on by

The following Programs/Modalities described are only informational and/or for research purposes. No claims are made by Moonawell in regard with their effectiveness. Please consult your physician before attempting to use or buy any of mentioned Programs/Modalities.

Bio Terrain Assessment (BTA)

The BTA tests are intended for nutritional assessment purposes only and are mostly of “Do It Yourself” types. No medical claims are made based on these tests results.

Free Radicals-Oxidative Stress

This is used to assess electron potential and cell damage. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules with uncoupled electrons and are by-products of normal metabolic reactions.

As cells begin to steal electrons from each other, cell destruction results. High oxidation rate leads to fatigue and stressed body systems.

Electrolyte Dynamics: Flow of  Energy

Electrolyte solutions can enhance our cell function if they are balanced. Any imbalance here will upset the normal electrical flow through cells.

Nitrates Assessment for Immune Weakness/Stress

Nitrates are end product of nitric oxide (NO). NO is made by the body for a short time to mediate chemical situations. It is stimulated by low oxygen or high carbon monoxide and converts to a free radical. Nitrate test can assess an array of systems stress and oxidation.

Lemon Juice Test for Mineral Reserve and pH Assessment

Minerals are needed in the body for enzyme activity. By subjecting a person to lemon juice, the mineral buffer system reactions can be observed along a time line, and the available mineral reserves, degree of stress and mineral depletion risk factors monitored.

Ammonia Discharge: Assessment of Stress and Acidity

During protein metabolism nitrogen wastes are produced. The first nitrogen containing molecules formed is ammonia (NH3), which must be excreted by the body before it raises body fluid pH. Too much or too little ammonia causes imbalance in the system (like out of balance acid/alkaline ratio). Ammonia is also an adaptation response to mental, emotional, stress and other acid forming causes and its monitoring provide clues to body stress condition.

(Cl-) Displacement and System Stress

This test helps determine the degree of energy output of the body, the burden on the fluid balancing systems, the probable buffering- and mineral deficiency and the level of body stress. When stress activity and acidity is high or low, certain minerals (Na, K, Mg) that are bound to chloride are displaced. High acidity is the result of hyper-stimulated  sympathetic system, which stimulates certain body control systems.

Pulse Pressure Test for Stress Evaluation

The fact that a non-stressed body responds by blood pressure rising when standing up from a lying position can be used to evaluate system stress.

Pupil Size Observation

Stress can be assessed by looking at the pupil size in response to application and removal of a light source (such as a flash light).

Basal (at rest) Temperature Test

Basal temperature test is a simple method to monitor how the body uses some of the hormones that control that control the efficiency of its heat production.

Iodine Absorption Test

Is used to assess the absorption of the element iodine, which is very important for the body normal hormonal functions.

Digestion Assessment:  Malabsorption/HCl Evaluation

A proper protein absorption through the digestion system is of great importance

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) plays a big role in providing appropriate medium for the enzymes to break down the food and any imbalance in this system leads to undigested food, resulting in an overgrowth of pathogens and a host of other problems.

Enzyme Assessment

Digestive enzymes are the most important step in food digestion. Any imbalance here leads to undigested food, a whole range of problems and the suffering of intestinal flora.

Total Sugar Test

This is not a test for diabetes or glucose measurement. It is a “total sugars” assessment for evaluation of the body sugar metabolism meaning “high’ or “low” sugars.

Sugar metabolism has a tremendous importance in our ability to access the appropriate energy production pathways. Without its proper control and balance energy production will fluctuate. Some of the factors contributing to sugar imbalance are improper diet, stress, hormonal factors and lack of physical exercise. There are 2 major genotypes regarding sugar metabolism. The “glucogenic” type people who are deficient in oxidative energy metabolism from fats. Their system prefers to burn energy through citric acid cycle, i.e.  burning sugars as fuel. The “ketogenic” type people who are deficient in oxidative energy metabolism produced from amino acids. Their system prefers to burn fats via beta hydroxybutyric acid cycle. Both imbalance types are continuously struggling with sugar control. The “sugar meter” reads both high sugars (ketogenic) and low sugars (glucogenic).

Certain foods are good for one type and bad for another, especially due to different tendencies regarding acidity/alkalinity of the two genotypes.

Breath Test

This test determines the time a person is able to hold breath, which may point to the sugar metabolism genotypes. The Glucogenics have shorter breath-hold ability due to burning sugar and increased production of CO2 which leads to more oxygen requirement.

Lipid Panel Test

As high lipids oxidation, ammonia and electrolytes lead to numerous imbalances, it is good to know the lipid levels. This test evaluates the lipid levels in conjunction with other oxidative measures and is used solely for evaluation of oxidative stress on the body.

Mineral Calcium Assessment

Calcium is involved in vital functions of the body, such as in bones, muscle contraction, nerve impulses and the regulation of numerous other body reactions. As such it is very important to evaluate the body’s calcium reserves

Vitamin C Assessment

Vitamin C is involved in literally hundreds of biological activities in the body. Some conditions associated with vitamin C imbalance are low immune functions, fragile  capillaries, allergies, scurvy, etc.

This is a quick test to assess the body’s vitamin C status.

Hydration Index

When the body is dehydrated, it takes the water out of cells to dilute the acidity. As water is a good signal conductor, without it the cell communication will be affected dramatically

Zinc Test

Zinc is associated with tremendous amount of important body functions. It is mostly lacking in today’s modern diet. Zinc is important for enzyme production and is an essential cofactor of immune and reproductive systems. This is a simple yet reliable test that shows instantly the body’s zinc status.

Chemstrip Tests

These tests are basically a series of Do It Yourself  assessment for evaluation of several body systems stress level. Urine Analysis – – Introduction to Urinalysis

Osteomark NTx

This is a lab test for a non-medical evaluation of bones condition. It provides a quantitative measure of the excretion of cross-linked N-telopeptides of type I collagen.

NTx is ideal for identifying the probability for a decrease in bone mineral density after one year in postmenopausal women receiving calcium supplements.
