Bio Feedback — How it works
The L.I.F.E. System perceives the presence of a river of energy that connects every organ, every thought, and every emotion. The flow or blockage of energy reflects a profound system of communication that demonstrates the body/mind intelligence. The L.I.F.E. System seeks to create and integrate an environment of wellness, balance, and harmony.
If stress is not resolved, symptoms appear. Imbalances usually begin at the cellular level, progress to tissue and organ level, and may involve whole systems. The L.I.F.E. System releases the excess peptides from the cellular level and fights inflammation using energetic impulses or a frequency. A biofeedback session begins by identifying the stresses in the body at the electro magnetic level caused by food, environment, genetics and lifestyle. Then the sends feedback to the practitioner who in turn, introduces frequencies consonant with the bodies natural rhythms. These frequencies can be in the form of recommended homeopathic solutions, electro-acupuncture or meridian and naturopathic balancing. These frequencies can reduce stressors in the body.
Stress may result from a large number of factors including:
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Inadequate intake of water
- Inadequate intake of oxygen (a mouth/shallow breather)
- Toxic stress factors such as fungus, bacteria, viruses and chemical agents
- The presence of heavy metals
- Prescription drugs or other synthetic compounds
- Geopathic stressors such as parasites or allergens
- Genetic predisposition
- Bio-field contamination from radiation, microwaves and ELF's
The system views illness as an energetic disturbance because every cell has an energetic pattern. Healthy cell-types have different energy patterns and transmissions from dysfunctional cells. Each organ, each energy meridian, each chakra, each emotion, possesses a characteristic pattern - a distinctive, electromagnetic wave. Physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dysfunctions disturb these energy patterns.
Healing takes place through energy intervention; electromagnetic waveforms stimulate the body's own healing mechanisms. When the body is provided with true, healthy energy patterns, inverted pathogenic and disease patterns are cancelled, reducing their disruptive effects thereby facilitating the natural healing processes.

About Ion Therapy
Toxic materials (in the form of Ions, molecules, and clusters of molecules) become trapped in the body which compromises the operation of the body's systems. This happens because of environmental pollutants and free radicals in the foods we eat. The functioning of virtually all of the physiological systems will be enhanced by toxic removal.
The meridians have branches that reach into every nook and cranny of the body, even into individual cells. Research on the meridians has shown that they are capable of acting as channels for the transport or diffusion of various molecules. The electric polarities set up by the EB PRO should cause toxin molecules to migrate along the meridians to the bottom of the feet by a process akin to electrophoresis. This process is defined as the migration of charged particles or molecules through a solution under the influence of an applied electric field. The EB PRO releases negative and positive ions in the foot bath, sending a pulse into the body which in turn collects the toxins through the meridians.
The meridians are one of several pathways for toxins to exit the body. Capillaries and lymphatic channels will also pick up toxins and carry them to the liver and kidneys, where they will be detoxified and/or excreted. There are also spaces within the skin that can support the flow of materials to be released. For example, the innermost layer of the skin, the dermis, is relatively rich in inter cellular spaces through which ions and other solutes may pass freely.
The EB Pro Foot bath
The EB Pro Foot Bath is designed and developed to restore the body's balance and energy levels through exposure to an ion field. Healthy individuals often feel more energy, and experience a greater feeling of well being. People with pain, edema, gout, headaches, and swollen joints have often reported immediate relief. Other people with arthritis, allergies, lymph edema, neuralgia and other symptoms have experienced relief and benefits with multiple treatments. The average treatment is 18 to 25 minutes with 20 minutes in an infrared sauna directly after.
What is Far Infrared Heat?
Far infrared heat is used to directly penetrate the body’s tissues to a depth of over 1½ inches right into the muscle. Its energy output is tuned to correspond so closely to the body’s own radiant energy that our bodies absorb close to 93% of the infrared waves that reach our skin.
A conventional sauna (steam sauna) must rely only on indirect means of heat: First, on air currents and then, direct contact of hot air with the skin to produce its healing effects on us. With Far Infrared heat and our unique Green Wave Panels, less than 20% of the far infrared energy heats the air, leaving over 80% available to be directly converted to heat within our bodies. Thus a Far Infrared Sauna can warm its user(s) to a much greater depth much more efficiently than a conventional sauna.

The infrared energy released by a Sauna can penetrate up to 1.5" deep into muscle tissue. 93% of this energy is absorbed through our skin. By heating these tissues, we experience a vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels which can be beneficial in reducing muscle spasms, joint stiffness and achiness, as well as general aches and pains due to conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. There is also evidence that when used 24-48 hours post injury, far infrared energy can reduce the time it takes for your body to heal sprains and strains.
Detoxification
Since the skin is our largest organ, it plays an important role in eliminating undesirable toxins. Some physicians refer to the skin as a third kidney. The deep penetration of the Saunas' infrared technology allows removal of toxins stored in fat cells. Detoxifying in an Infrared Sauna helps rid your body of potential carcinogenic heavy metals such as mercury and lead, as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol.
Weight Loss
As you bask in the comforts of an Infrared Sauna, your body is actually hard at work attempting to maintain a constant core temperature. Our body does this by increasing peripheral blood flow and by sweating. In Guyton's textbook of Medical Physiology, it states that 1 gram of sweat requires 0.568 kcal to produce. An average sauna user can produce 500 grams of sweat and burn 350 calories during a therapeutic sauna session. This is the equivalent of running 2-3 miles. Our infrared saunas can also help rid your body of cellulite which is a gel like substance made up of fat cells, water and wastes.
Cardiovascular Health
Infrared heat therapy is one way to achieve cardiovascular conditioning effects even without exerting yourself. During a sauna session, vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels occurs which increases heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate. This provides a workout for your heart as the body attempts to cool itself in diverting blood from internal organs to the extremities and the skin. Research suggests that regular infrared heat therapy has been beneficial in reducing blood pressure.
Beautification of Skin
The infrared increases blood circulation to the skin bringing fresh nutrients to the surface. At the same time, profuse sweating is assisting in the removal of toxins that accumulate deep within your pores such as make-up, dirt, lotions and conditioners.
Tissue Elasticity
The warmth of the sauna will relax your muscles, increase flexibility and range of motion. Studies show, tissues heated to 130° and then stretched have exhibited an elastic elongation that persists long after the stretch is removed. This was not the case when the same tissues were stretched at normal tissue temperatures. Therapeutic benefits were also seen in working with ligaments, tendons, fascia, joint capsules and symposiums that have become scarred, thickened or contracted.
