Torah Bright – Snow Princess

 


Torah Jane Bright hit the slopes at just 2 years of age, and attacked the snowboard at age 11 during a poor snow season. Now, just a few years on at 18, she is ranked the world’s number 2 snowboarder – and Australia’s best chance for a Gold medal at the Torino Olympics in Italy 2006.

Torah’s speciality is the half-pipe, with its sheer walls of ice – ice that’s incredibly difficult to land on, and worse – positively dangerous! The slightly built Torah, like all snowboarders, experiences many knocks, scrapes, contusions and bruising. That’s just the light stuff, her extreme aerial manoeuvres are associated with abdominal, chest, spine, and head injuries; and the danger of fractures and sprains hover in the cold air…to be the best, she has to always be right on the limit.

How does she cope and stay on top? Yep, you guessed it, she is a BEMER 3000 user, and in Italy she will come against her competition – BEMER 3000 users such as Manuela Pesko of Switzerland, the Swiss Olympic team, and many other BEMER 3000 elite athletes.

“I use the BEMER 3000 first thing every morning to improve my performance when I’m ‘hiking the pipe’. It couldn’t be easier – I just lie down on the system for 8 minutes – that’s why I like it best!” said Torah in a recent interview. “When I recently had surgery, it helped put me back on the mountain in half the time”

Torah will be performing at her best for a chance at the Gold medal, and we encourage all to follow her progress when her event starts Monday February 13, 2006.

To counteract the damage from the sun while out on the snow (or the beach), Torah, as many others do, use the BEMER 3000 SLT red light system to enhance and protect their skin. The pure red light from ultra bright LED’s at the most therapeutic wavelength of 660nm improves Collagen to repair or replace damaged skin cells, to increase the formation of new capillaries to replace those damaged or broken, and to improve oxygenation and nutrients  to skin cells. This helps her to always look her best when appearing for photo shoots with her sponsors.

TREATMENT PRINCIPLES

Nitric Oxide – Benefits of using the BEMER 3000

 


Why is the BEMER 3000 so effective in improving blood circulation? The discovery of Nitric Oxide by three researchers earned them the Noble Medicine Prize in 1998. This research discovery for the first time explained the success of Pulsed Electro-magnetic field therapy (PEMFT) on a wide range of conditions

Many of the body’s reactions are actually induced by the release of signal molecules such as Nitrogen Monoxide [Nitric Oxide, or NO] that acts as a vasodilator as well as a neurotransmitter. BEMER 3000 stimulates Nitric Oxide release – which vaporises into the blood vessels, dilating them, and therefore improving circulation, blood flow, oxygen saturation, cell metabolism of negative and positive H ions (Hydrogen), and partial Oxygen pressure.

Nitric Oxide plays a vital role ranging from a regulator of blood flow; to erectile function, inflammation and host defence. From diabetes to hyper-tension, cancer to drug addiction, stroke to intestinal motility, memory and learning disorders to septic shock, sunburn to anorexia, male impotence to tuberculosis, there is no condition where nitric oxide does not play an important role.

Why does it have Therapeutic value?

Under the influence of the BEMER 3000 signal, positively charged hydrogen ions (Mostly waste products) are pushed up against the blood vessel wall. This triggers a release of NO that vaporises through channels in the vessel walls causing dilation. The fast moving blood circulation carries NO to other areas of the body causing wide spread dilation. The positively charged H ions combine with negative charges that bond and release calcium ions. These differentiate into cells requiring calcium (bone and nerve cells – hence its effectiveness in treating Osteoporosis1) or are removed as waste. Various other positive reactions are experienced as the ion exchange intensifies, such as:

·        The building up of the immune system by activating macrophages that destroy invading pathogens (i.e. bacteria)

·        Is used by nerve cells as a neurotransmitter – improves memory function – diffuses and acts on nearby neurons that are not connected by a synapse

·        Activation of the cellular metabolism

·        Where possible, insulin is activated, aiding or preventing diabetes

·        Fatty acid metabolism is regulated, assisting the body with weight control >

How does Nitric Oxide enhance sexual performance?

The cells of the inner wall of blood vessels use NO to signal surrounding smooth muscle to relax, thus increasing blood flow. This is part of the process of erection of the penis and explains the mechanism of Viagra. Many studies indicate positive results in treating erectile dysfunction and enhancing sexual performance.5

Why is treatment recommended every 3-4 hours, and why is less more?

The body has a self-protection mechanism when too many positive charges attach to the vessel wall at a time, and shut down the NO channels.

To get the most therapeutic effect you want those channels open for as long as possible. The BEMER 3000 with its ultra low broad frequency spectrum gently pushes up the H+ and does not overwhelm the voltage on the blood vessel walls, thereby allowing NO release for a long period. That is why athletes use the BEMER 3000 to rapidly remove waste products [lactic acid] after competition or training, assisting recovery and preventing muscle damage. They simply lie down on the BEMER 3000 for 8 minutes on level 3.

Why are other PEMFT devices limited

in Nitric Oxide release?

This is an important limitation of other pulsed electromagnetic devices using the common wave shapes. The therapeutic band width is too narrow, the intensities are just too strong – so they have “little” therapeutic effect due to overwhelming the blood vessel wall and shutting down the NO channels too soon. The BEMER 3000 with its patented ultra low broad frequency spectrum signal is unique, reaching over 2,500 cell frequencies compared to just 150 of other devices.

The more ill, or exhausted a patient is, the more likely they are to have an acidic metabolism due to large amounts of H+ ions. The weaker the intensity (lower levels) the more the therapeutic value the treatment will have.

< Quite simply, the BEMER 3000 used properly will allow you the best opportunity to care for your health!

 

 


 

CHRONIC CONDITIONS

Fibromyalgia

 


Fibromyalgia affects mostly women between the ages of 35 to 60 from all nationalities and culture groups. It is thought that around 3 - 8% of Australians suffer from Fibromyalgia.       How may the BEMER 3000 assist sufferers?

Fibromyalgia is one of the soft tissue rheumatic conditions which encompass about 60% of all forms of rheumatism. This condition does not directly affect the joints but mani­fests itself in the connective tissue, tendons and ligaments. Its true cause is still not known, but genetic factors are suspected and psychological stress, immune or endocrine abnormali­ties or biochemical abnormalities in the central nervous system (e.g. altered serotonin levels) can also contribute to the development or sustainability of the disease.

Severe pain covering large areas of the muscles and tendons and usually continuing for an extended period of time (several years) represents the primary symptom of Fibromyalgia. Further characteristics are a gradually decreasing physical and mental capacity (loss of vital­ity), general fatigue, sleep disorders, headaches and depression. Fibromyalgia is further characterized by so-called “tender points” which hurt when pressed but do not refer pain.

Due to the ambiguity surrounding the origin of Fibromyalgia, no causal therapy for the disease exists and treatment currently follows a rather symptomatic approach, dependent on which of the wide range of symptoms are being displayed. The often limited success of treatment with painkillers and corticoids does not justify the directly linked side effects experienced by patients.

Thorough psychotherapeutic treatments, complemented by low dosed antidepressants can help patients to gain relief from the symptoms of Fibromyalgia. Further positive effects can be achieved by means of various physical therapies, such as gentle exercise, massage, heat/cold therapy and acupuncture.

BEMER 3000 therapy is recommended for the treat­ment of Fibromyalgia2 due to its scientifically proven4 activating effect on the metabolism, which directly addresses one of the prominent causal factors of the disease and ultimately leads to improved physical and mental health. >

 

 

The increased blood circulation and oxygenation in the tissues can help to ease tension, re­duce inflammatory processes, as well as support regeneration in general. In addition, neuro­-vegetative regulation brought about by BEMER 3000 applications, can reduce mental and psychosomatic symptoms, hence improving the patient's general well-being. 

Further, by relieving pain, the patient may be able to exercise easier, and the sleep regulating affects of the BEMER 3000 addresses the vital need for good rest.

How to Treat Fibromyalgia

Three times a day, on the coil mat use the Base Program (8 minutes/treatment). Use Level 1 in the evening before going to bed.

During acute inflammatory episodes, use the intensive applicator or the pillow unit (without re­ducing cable) on P3 after the Basic Program on the inflamed areas.

It is important to remember that all rheumatic diseases are accompanied by a latent acidosis of the tissues. BEMER therapy should therefore be complemented with mineral supplements, to assist in the neutralization and elimination of acids and improve therapeutic effects.

 

USER RESULT

“After suffering for years with Fibromyalgia, I started using the BEMER on a friend’s insistence.

I started sleeping better, my energy levels improved, and it helped me cope well with the pain. Now, I hardly suffer the symptoms at all, my doctor reduced my medications, and I have recommended the Bemer to all my friends.

Even my husband, who was sceptical, first did some research into the scientific basis, then started to use it. He now won’t leave home in the morning without his session on the mat to reduce stress and get more energy.

Thanks Bemer for helping me get my life back!” - BB

VETERINARY

While many race horse trainers use the BEMER 3000 VET to give their charges that competitive edge and treat injuries with it, a non-profit wildlife organization uses the BEMER 3000 system to treat injured wildlife, such as kangaroos, that they care for.

The organization, Wildlife Advocate, represents the “quiet Australian”, you and I, I am sure, who recognize that the often stupid and illegal behaviour of some ‘conservationists’ seldom accomplish positive results.

They are already successfully achieving their mission by building cordial relations and encouraging a spirit of cooperation between individuals, organisations, relevant government authorities, agencies, private landholders and the general community.

NUTRITION

Is Food less Nutritious Today?

 


The proponents of vitamins and other food supplements tell us we need their products to keep healthy. Is this really the case?

A report from the United Nations’ Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) will have you reaching for them…

The quality of agricultural land has declined at an alarming rate over the past century. Artificial fertilizer is thought to be the main culprit. This chemical mixture of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium may ensure crops grow quickly, but it also diminishes vital nutrients in the soil. Even organic food production, done without artificial fertilizer, cannot guarantee that the soil is rich in minerals. It cannot always replace the missing minerals depleted by earlier applications of synthetic fertilizer.

The United Nations’ Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) has concluded that artificial fertilizer is contributing to a “serious shortage” of minerals.

As the above table to the right shows, the drop in protein value of wheat means that you would have to eat 10 slices of bread to get the same nutrients you once got from one! >

How does the BEMER 3000 increase absorption?

By improving the cellular metabolism, the cell is more efficient in absorbing nutrients and oxygen, and removing waste products.

This means that as a BEMER 3000 user, the nutrition or supplements you take are not literally “flushed down the toilet”. Instead you get the best out of what you eat and the supplements you take.

The other beneficial spin-off of this effect, is that most BEMER 3000 users are able to reduce medications; some are even able to stop using medications once their practitioners have confirmed their results.

The most common medications reduced are for blood pressure, cholesterol, pain, diabetes, inflammation, and osteoporosis.

Give the BEMER 3000 and your cells something to work with! Consider using a good supplement or vitamin, drink enough water, and exercise regularly.

The BEMER 3000 VITAL range of supplements may be available late next year, until then, see your practitioner for advice and see the healthy links opposite. <


 

EDITORS NOTE

It has been a good year for the BEMER 3000 with more and more committed practitioners offering therapy, (We do attract the best!) and with many private users enjoying life-changing results.

The case against Nathan Baggaley, a BEMER 3000 athlete regarding his failed anti-doping drug test was finally heard. We were pleased to hear the judge acknowledge that it was an accidental and inadvertent act, and that he reduced the sentence from the standard two years to 15 months. This means that Nathan has the opportunity to compete in the 2008 Olympics, and while he may face the ban now, his name is cleared, HE IS NOT A CHEAT.

Please continue to send in your user results, as your experience may assist others to benefit from the BEMER 3000 too. Don’t forget that if you do refer someone, you may also benefit from the Purchase rewards program when they list you as referrer.

Take care on the roads, the beaches or wherever you are. The Support team will continue to be available for optimal therapy advice throughout the vacation period – just call the HOTLINE or email.

Best of health to you

What is your New Years resolution?

Most Australians make resolutions that are health and fitness related, and within 3 months fail, so be realistic. Don’t set goals that are too high, but don’t set goals to low either! Add a new behaviour, like walking 3 x a week for example, rather than banning something you love like coffee or chocolate. Once you’ve made a realistic goal – keep trying, don’t give up.

Have you been putting off buying a BEMER 3000?

The words of a BEMER doctor still ring true, so I’ll quote them again:

“Sometimes, we're faced with some tough decisions ... Buying a new home, going into business, investing money, and so on. They are tough not only by their nature but also because they involve money. What, though, is going to change for you in the near future? Do you have a back up plan? If not, then you really need to rethink what you're walking away from here. With the 30 day satisfaction guarantee you can return the system at no risk, and if you feel it doesn’t work for you, we'll refund your money. There's nothing risked to make your decision today, so order now.” Dr YS

How do I get started on BEMER 3000 therapy?
