hE CoRE of BIoMAT TEChnoLogy IS a combination of far infrared rays (6–12 microns), negative ion effects and the conductive properties of amethyst channels. These three powerful health stimulators are combined in a single,
easy-to-use product with remarkable healing properties. The BioMat, manufactured and distributed by Richway International Inc., delivers soothing, deep-penetrating heat while stimulating the regeneration of damaged cells in the body. This highly effective therapy is now available to medical professionals and home consumers who want to improve health and wellbeing with products based on scientific research, and developed using pure, natural materials. stress can interfere with deep sleep, which can further
increase stress levels. While sleep medication provides temporary symptomatic relief, it does not always improve the quality of sleep. the Biomat is designed for the patient to sleep on to provide true therapeutic deep sleep, with a range of temperature settings from 95–1580 farenheit of therapeutic infrared heat. Deep sleep is attained by far infrared and negative ions, as well as the healing effect of amethyst precious stones.
Biofeedback devices used to measure stress reduction Quantum resonance magnetic analyser a quantum resonance magnetic analyser (Qrma) measures electromagnetic waves emitted by human bodies, which represent the condition of cells, tissues and organs. the data is compared with standard spectrums to detect imbalances and measure stress reduction. this biofeedback device provides information on the stress of vital organs and systems. test results provide a range of mild (0–30), moderate (30–60), and severe stress (70–100), correlating with the Depression anxiety stress scale (Dass) (i.e. the Bioresonance scale simulates the Dass in measuring the intensity of stress from mild to severe).
ICAP the ICaP is used to monitor brain imbalance and blockages, as well as levels of stress. the results also correlate with the Dass. the ICaP release meter system is made up of an electroencephalography (eeg) sensor, signal transmitter, a UsB base station to capture the signal, a proprietary algorithm that translates the raw data from the transmitter (release vector), and a visual representation of that data in the ICaP software. the system also incorporates the ‘release technique’, a

method used to retrain the brain’s responses. the device identifies three distinct stress zones, as well as an average stress score at the end of the measurement. a value of less than 500 indicates manageable stress, 500–700 medium stress, and 700–900 high stress. a value over 950 indicates an extremely high level of stress.
Heart rate variability the heart rate variability (HrV) test (wireless heart electrocardiography (eCg) scan) implements a battery of three tests as the most comprehensive and informative combination of tests for autonomic nervous system (ans) purposes in the measurement of stress: ■ Orthostatic test as the initial method for ans provocation ■ Valsalva manoeuvre combined with deep breathing as the optimal method for revealing the hidden abilities of the autonomic function and distinguishing between chronic and temporary abnormalities ■ real-time nerve-monitor test as the ultimate method for ans assessment in long-term therapy, with continuous monitoring. the test results highlight three cardiovascular zones
(Figure 1): ■ red — high risk of heart disease in the lower right zone (low fitness + low physiology) (0–3) ■ White — medium risk in the middle zone (medium fitness + medium physiology) (3–7) ■ Blue — low risk in the upper left zone for athletes (high fitness + high physiology) (7–10).
Blood cortisol test results a cortisol blood test is carried out to measure the level of the cortisol in the blood. normal results may vary from lab to lab. However, in an adult, for example, morning cortisol levels are normally 5–23 mcg/dL, and 3–13 mcg/ dL in the afternoon.
