Supplements

why use supplements?

It would be great if everyone ate their fruits and vegetables and had adequate hydration, got plenty of sleep, had no stress and was exposed to just the right amount of sunlight. Unfortunately, this is not only hard to achieve, but also the fact that our soil is depleted of nutrients and we are exposed to environmental toxins and pesticides only compounds the situation. Poor absorption of nutrients can be another cause of deficiency.  We recommend that our patients eat healthy and work with a good diet before adding supplements.  However, we look carefully at any deficiencies and make recommendations for only reputable companies.

The Healing Amethyst BioMat

The US FDA’s Medical Device 510K indications for use for the BioMat are for temporary relief of strains, and spasms and for relaxation of muscles and temporary increase of local circulation where applied.

 

This infrared heating mat not only delivers deep relaxation but also added healing benefits. Some of the technologies underlying the BioMat medical products have existed for more than a thousand years, while others have been refined or confirmed by modern science and medicine.

Three complementary technologies work synergistically to deliver powerful healing treatment: infrared lightnegative ions, and Amethyst crystals.

Far infrared light transfers heat very efficiently and is why sunlight feels warm. It can penetrate 6-8 inches into the body and because of this, these rays not only benefit the surface but all the cells including blood vessels, lymph glands, and nerves in the deepest parts of our body. This deeply penetrating heat speeds cellular metabolism reduces pain and quickly heals injuries.

Ion channels exist in our body cells that are capable of stimulating the cells and altering the cell membranes to allow cells to communicate with one another. These ion channels essentially act like “pores” in the cells, letting external stimuli deep into the center of the cell. They are even capable of stimulating new memory traces in the brain. Negative ions are particles in the air that have an extra electron. They are plentiful near large quantities of moving water such as waterfalls and the ocean. These particles tend to donate their extra electron, and this can directly cancel oxidation in the body, making them “anti-oxidants.” When the Bio-mat is turned on, it produces these ions on its surface to transmit the healing effects of these pristine, natural settings.

The third technology incorporated into the BioMat is the oldest and most valued throughout the centuries – Amethyst crystals. Amethyst’s healing powers have been celebrated for thousands of years. Buddhists use the stone to enhance peace and tranquility during meditation. Today, modern science shows us that centuries of lore surrounding the stone’s healing powers are supported by its unique physical characteristics, including its piezoelectric properties, which allow it to carry both a negative and a positive charge simultaneously. The outermost layer of every BioMat product is covered with channels of pure amethyst through which the far infrared rays must pass. The superconducting properties of the amethyst layer turn these rays into long wavelengths capable of safely penetrating the body as deeply as seven inches.
