Energy Testing
History shows that humans have recognized the importance of energy to health for many thousands of years.
The oldest Chinese medical textbook states “A human being with a strong Chi (energy) will not get sick. If the energy is balanced and flowing, the human will stay healthy”.
There are also examples of Physicians from ancient Greece, Japan and Europe using some form of energy treatments in their general practise.
The measurement of human energy however is relatively new with the first scientific techniques described in the early 1890’s.
French Physiologists quantified human energy as the “body heat” expended during rest or physical activity. By placing a person in a sealed room with thermometers, the Physiologists were able to monitor the heat generated by the person in calories. This technique of measuring biochemical energy was termed Direct Calorimetry and is still currently used on some occasions.
In the early 1900’s, Physiologists discovered the correlation between oxygen consumed and energy expended. This prompted a new technique of measuring human energy called Indirect Calorimetry. This technique is currently the “Gold Standard” technique to measure human energy.
The practise of indirect calorimetry is widely used in Sports Medicine, Clinical Nutrition, Intensive Care, Exercise Rehabilitation and Respiratory Medicine.
Many thousands of research articles have been published over the past 90 years detailing the techniques and benefits of calorimetry testing.
One of the primary benefits of energy testing is to establish a person’s Energy Profile and Energy Balance. The Energy Profile provides detailed information on energy production (total calories, efficiency) while the Energy Balance provides informationon the type of fuels used to generate energy (RQ score, Glucose availability, Rate of fat burning).
Energy Treatments
The founders of Biotech Energy have over 10 years of combined experience in managing clients with energy diseases. This experience of managing more than 20 000 clients has defined different treatment regimes to be more or less successful for different energy conditions.
This extensive experience of treating clients has been contained within our unique e- cal Health software. That is, the e-cal Health software will recommend different treatment strategies for the client and the Practitioner after analysing the results of an energy test.
One of the fundamental treatment strategies recommended by Biotech involves the use of Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) devices.
The treatment of energy dysfunction using Magnetic therapies was first documented by the Chinese 5000 years ago. In the 1950’s, Dr Reinhold Voll determined that the body’s healing process would be infinitely more effective using pulsed electro- magnetic waves.
Since the early 1980’s, hospitals and clinics in Europe and North America have incorporated Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field therapy for a variety of different medical problems including; bone fractures, depression, circulatory and metabolic disorders and more recently, post-operative and chronic pain and sleep disorders.
Biotech Energy has three PEMF devices available for clients and Practitioners; the BRS 500, the BRS100 300 and the Pulse. These devices vary in their size and price range to suit different client requirements.
More information about these three products is available on the Biotech Energy Products Section
