Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Technology – a.k.a. HOCATT

Complete Description:

Our way of looking at health is based purely on the miracle that is your very own human body operating at the optimal level, in peak condition. A body that is working as it should be.

We strive for the kind of health that helps you to attain more in life. The kind of health that gives you more confidence, makes you more creative and more attractive making you faster and stronger, thereby, giving you more energy to perform better and in less time. This is what Signature Health is all about. This is what has driven the creation of the HOCATT™ (Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Technology).

The HOCATT™ Is a Chamber Developed For Strategic Wellness and Healing

 
How does it do this? Using a combination of powerful modalities that detoxes the body, improves circulation, supports the immune system, and boosts energy down to the cellular level.

HOCATT™ Platinum Modalities Includes:

• Ozone / H₂O₂
• Carbonic Acid / H₂CO₃
• Whole Body Hyperthermia (WBH)
• Steam Sauna
• Far Infrared (FIR)
• Pure Oxygen Breathing
• Electrotherapy – Frequency Specific Micro-Currents
• Aromatherapy
• Photon Light with Color Spectrum
• PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field)

Why is the HOCATT™ Better?

HOCATT™ provides a collective response, and better results:  the important thing to remember is that the body is a system that is made up of multiple systems. So in your body, things don’t happen in isolation. When you get sick, there is often a cascade of effects. Conventional allopathic medicine mainly focuses on dealing with symptoms and treating problems individually, leaving the other body systems unattended. Treating the symptoms of an illness may give a temporary relief, but it ignores the potential effects on the rest of the body. Conventional allopathic treatments can also have serious side effects, so while trying to treat one problem you could end up with other concerns.

That’s why HOCATT™ takes the holistic approach using a combination of natural, but powerful modalities.  HOCATT™ is the only device that simultaneously works on all the major systems in the body, including immune, circulatory, nervous, lymph, digestion, muscular, skeletal, endocrine, and more.  HOCATT™ modalities energize the body for immediate healing, repairing, and recovery.

The individual modalities used in the HOCATT™ have been carefully chosen through extensive scientific research. Individually they are powerful, but combined have a synergistic effect. This is why HOCATT™ technology has tremendous value.

Other technologies such as hyperbaric chambers, autohaemo-ozone (ATH), and even conventional ozone saunas are fantastic in their own right, but they won’t give the collective responses that your body needs. It is actually quite unfair to compare them with the powerhouse combination of modalities that the HOCATT^™ has to offer.

Some individuals have an aversion to needles or have received too much IV therapy resulting in collapsed veins. There is nothing invasive with the HOCATT™ and could be the solution you have been waiting for.

Hyperthermia, Ozone sauna (transdermal ozone H₂O₂) Far Infrared, Carbonic Acid/H₂CO₃, Frequency Specific Micro-Currents and Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields are perhaps the most powerful way to simultaneously oxygenate and detox the body. Unlike ATH, transdermal ozone skips over some of the metabolic pathways and blood barriers.  When ozone mixes with steam it is already converted into a form that the body can use (H₂O₂). It is also one of the best ways to get ozone into the lymph system. A healthy lymphatic system is one of the most integral parts to detox and provides healing. The skin is the largest organ for elimination, so by sweating toxins out during an ozone sauna, the kidneys and liver are spared the extra work.

While most individuals can receive all the modalities of the HOCATT™, some individuals respond differently. What works for one person might not work for another. So what if you don’t respond to one of the individual modalities? Not a problem!

HOCATT™ allows for individual accommodations and preferences. You can choose all the modalities at once, or eliminate the ones that are contraindicated for your etiologies. At any time during the session, you can change the programming, increase or decrease the temperature to suit your comfort levels, or pause/stop the session completely.

HOCATT™ technology gives you more time, and not just in terms of health and longevity, but literally more time in your day. If you had to do all of the modalities individually, not only would you miss out on the collective benefits, but it would take hours to get through them.  Hours that could instead be spent living life to the fullest.

Whether you’re ill, an athlete looking to boost performance, or just a healthy person concerned with prevention or looking to get healthier and detox your system, the HOCATT™ will benefit you.  You don’t have to be sick to receive benefits.  There is nothing else on the market that can deliver what the HOCATT™ does.

How Does HOCATT™ Technology Work?

After sitting comfortably in the HOCATT™ chamber, the chamber doors are closed to cover your body, while your head remains outside.  A nasal cannula (or special oxygen jet) is placed for breathing pure humidified oxygen throughout the session – this is to ensure enhanced oxygen saturation in the blood, and also provides a pure oxygen breathing, like a good cardio workout, but without the stress on your joints. Breathing pure oxygen boosts energy and endurance, burns more calories, increases blood oxygen levels, and makes you feel good!

Throughout the session, Photo Light Color Spectrum rays fill the chamber and are absorbed by the skin as they reflect from the steam and the ultra-reflective chamber walls of the HOCATT™.  Photo Light with Color Spectrum provides the body with soothing, relaxing, balancing and energizing rays.  You may also add aromatic leaves or oils to be infused during the session through the specialized steam jet.

During the entire 30-minute session, Steam and Far Infrared Rays (FIR) heat up the body with the intention of raising the core body temperature to rapidly induce an artificial fever (Whole Body Hyperthermia), which boosts the immune system. All bodily processes are enhanced at higher temperatures, including the activity of hormones, enzymes, protein signalers, and neurotransmitters. Keeping the body in a constant regenerative state helps the body to heal, and to stay healthy and energized. This also puts the body in an optimal state in which to receive the rest of the HOCATT™ modalities. The heat dilates the pores and enhances circulation, and this is further potentiated by the Carbonic Acid. The FIR rays penetrate deeply into the skin and subcutaneous tissue, relieving joint and muscle aches and pain while promoting the chelation of heavy metals from the body.

Many people are chronically stressed, in other words, they are constantly stressed and end up with burnout. This results in a long-term drain on the body because the sympathetic nervous system is continuously activated. The sympathetic nervous system is not supposed to dominate for prolonged periods, and our bodies can only rest and regenerate when the parasympathetic nervous system is dominant.

Receiving CA helps bring balance back to the autonomic nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety, and placing your body in an optimal state for healing. It naturally and without any side effects increases the uptake and delivery of oxygen at a cellular level (Bohr Effect).  This is why CA treatment enhances the effects of both ozone and the breathing of pure oxygen; it means that more of the pure oxygen inhaled can actually get absorbed into the tissues that need it!

For the first 3-8 minutes of the session, CO₂ enters the chamber and is converted into carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) as it reacts with the steam.  The CA irrigates the skin and enters through the pores into the bloodstream and lymph system. The CA draws more blood to the surface of the skin, which enhances the effects of the ozone. CA has been shown to restore functionally closed capillaries, and because it is a well-known vasodilator (dilates the blood vessels) it is becoming an increasingly popular treatment for peripheral artery disease and ischemia. It has been shown to increase blood circulation by virtually up to 200%!

CA is one of the very few compounds that naturally reduce high blood pressure (hypertension). Furthermore, CA sedates the central nervous system, relieving tension and stress in the spine and muscles. It also sedates the sympathetic nervous system and stimulates parasympathetic nervous system activity.

The combination of hyperthermia and CA gives your cardiovascular system a passive workout, making HOCATT™ an excellent tool for the weak, elderly, quadriplegics and anyone who leads a sedentary lifestyle or has circulation issues. It is also a fat dissolving compound that also reduces stretch marks, cellulite, scars and fine wrinkles.

After the CA cycle is finished, the ozone cycle starts and continues for the rest of the session. The ozone reacts with the H₂O (steam) to form sterilizing H₂O₂ on the surface of the skin. The Ozone is absorbed through the dilated pores and enters the bloodstream and lymph system. One of the main advantages of Ozone is that it stimulates the body’s natural antioxidant system, and boosts energy down to a cellular level. It also inactivates viruses and eliminates parasitic, bacterial and yeast/fungal infections. Ozone stimulates the immune system and promotes healing – it is especially successful in non-healing wounds and diabetic ulcers. Ozone also oxidizes toxins so the body can excrete them.  It reduces pain and inflammation and purifies the blood and lymph systems.

Ozone also gives the body more usable energy (ATP) by stimulating the Krebs cycle. Because of the carbonic acid pre-cycle, the absorption of Ozone H₂O₂ is enhanced up to 3x as much compared to normal ozone saunas! When the ozone cycle starts you may also elect to use a catheter for vaginal ozone insufflation, or cups/funnels (breast cupping) for the remainder of the session.

When the ozone is broken down in the chamber, ultraviolet rays are liberated. Ultraviolet rays play an important role in destroying pathogens on the skin – if there are any skin infections, they can be dealt with and controlled by ultraviolet radiation. The ultraviolet rays also promote the production of certain Vitamins, such as Vitamin D.

Electrotherapy (Frequency Specific Micro-currents) focus on a specific health issue within a selected program to fit your need. Frequency Specific Micro-Current programs stimulate the muscles, nervous system and cells through electrode foot pads.  This promotes the healing and regeneration of damaged tissues, relieves pain, destroys pathogens, and energizes the body.

In the HOCATT™, the effects of electrotherapy are enhanced exponentially and detox the body and chelates heavy metals because in the chamber you sweat out the toxins. Usually, the die-off (destroyed pathogens) have to be flushed out of the body through normal detox systems, (liver, kidneys, colon, skin, etc.).  This reduces the strain on the body’s natural detox.

HU=GO – PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field)

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field uses magnetic fields to heal and energize the body.  PEMF differs from other electrotherapies in that it is non-contact, which mean there are no electrodes or pads making direct contact with your body.  PEMF is not to be confused with frequency-specific micro-currents.  They are two different and separate modalities.

PEMF induces electrical changes within and around cells which influences the cell behavior.  This results in improved circulation and oxygenation, better transport of nutrients and more energy.  PEMF also accelerates the healing process by stimulating the body to repair damaged tissue, while significantly reducing pain.  PEMFs also induce reflexology and acupuncture-like actions in the body.

High intensity PEMFs induce a flood of electrons inside the body.  Free electrons serve as electrons, and thus can “terminate” free radicals which are known to speed up the aging process.  This makes high intensity PEMF an inherently anti-aging treatment.

The FDA has approved PEMF devices for the following:

• Healing of non-union fractures
• Treating urinary incontinence and muscle stimulation
• Cervical fusion patients at high-risk of non-fusion
• Treatment of depression and anxiety

The HOCATT™’s nine modalities delivered in one thirty minute session is what puts it light years ahead of conventional ozone saunas and other individual delivery systems.

START OF A SESSION:

In the privacy of a changing room, you remove all articles of clothing and wrap yourself in a towel. You are then assisted into the HOCATT™ chamber where you sit back comfortably on the seat, which can be adjusted for your height. The chamber doors are then closed to cover your body, while your head remains outside of the chamber. You may then open up your towel. A neck blanket or towel is placed around your neck to ensure that none of the steam escapes from the chamber onto your face. A nasal cannula (or special oxygen jet) will be placed around your neck to provide pure humidified oxygen for you to breathe in – this is to ensure enhanced oxygen saturation in the blood, and also provides a passive EWOT (exercise with oxygen) effect.

DURING A SESSION:

During the session, steam and far infrared rays (FIR) heat up the body with the intention of raising the core body temperature to rapidly induce an artificial fever. All bodily processes are enhanced at higher temperatures, including the production of hormones and enzymes. Keeping the body in a constant regenerative state helps the body to heal, and to stay healthy and energized. The heat also dilates the pores and enhances circulation, and this is further potentiated by the carbonic acid. The FIR rays penetrate deeply into the skin and subcutaneous tissue, relieving joint and muscle aches/pain and promoting the chelation of heavy metals from the body. PEMF (pulsed electro-magnetic fields) can be used throughout the session. PEMFs use magnetic fields to significantly reduce pain and boost energy, which accelerates healing and regeneration. Special Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) programs may also be selected to stimulate the muscles, nervous system and cells through foot electrode pads and/or handheld electrodes. FSMs focus on the specific health issue (e.g. Lyme Disease, Candida, etc) of the selected program.  Full spectrum colored light rays also fill the chamber and are absorbed by the skin as they reflect from the steam and the ultra-reflective chamber walls. HOCATT™ uses all colors of the spectrum, from soothing and relaxing to balancing and energizing. You may ask for essential oils or leaves to be added to the steam jet. If you are physically able, you may also opt to do some seated exercises to increase weight loss during your session. For the first 3-8 minutes of the session, CO2 enters the chamber and is converted into carbonic acid (CA) as it reacts with the steam. The CA and steam irrigate the skin and enter through the pores into the bloodstream and lymph system. It also dilates the capillaries and the blood vessels, increasing blood circulation throughout the entire body by up to 25%. This also draws more blood to the surface of the skin, which enhances the effects of the transdermal ozone. The CA sedates the central nervous system and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, relieving tension and stress in the spine and muscles. CA is one of the very few compounds that naturally, and without any side effects, increase the uptake and delivery of oxygen at cellular level. After the CA cycle is finished, the ozone cycle starts and continues for the rest of the session. The ozone reacts with the H2O (steam) to form sterilizing H2O2 on the surface of the skin. The H2O2 is absorbed through the dilated pores and enters the bloodstream and lymph system. One of the main advantages of Ozone is that it stimulates the body’s natural antioxidant system, and boosts energy down to a cellular level. It also inactivates viruses and eliminates bacterial and yeast/fungal infections. Because of the carbonic acid pre-cycle, the absorption of H2O2 is enhanced up to 2x as much compared to normal ozone saunas. During this stage, you may also elect to use a catheter for vaginal insufflation, or funnels for cupping (e.g. breast cupping).

END OF A SESSION:

At the end of the session, the entire volume of the ozone and oxygen-steam mixture is extracted into the external ozone destructor, in order to prevent it from releasing into the room when the doors open. You may then cover yourself with your towel once again. The nasal oxygen cannula and neck blanket/towel will be removed, and then the chamber doors will be opened. When you are ready to stand up, you will be assisted out of the chamber.

OZONE & WOMEN’S HEALTH

Research shows that the most common health issues faced by women can be treated very successfully with Ozone- it can even be used for gynecological issues such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and vaginitis. Most women have at some stage in their life experienced some form of vaginitis (e.g. thrush), which can be 100% eliminated by Ozone lnsufflation1. Vaginal insufflation is recommended for any vaginal yeast/fungal, viral or bacterial infection – many such infections prevent conception and lower fertility, thus Ozone Therapy is helping many women achieve their dreams of becoming mothers. Ozone Therapy can even treat threatened abortion.

HOCATT™ & WOMEN’S HEALTH

The HOCATT™ is specially designed for women’s health issues, with an extra ozone generator dedicated to performing OPTIONAL vaginal Ozone-Oxygen insufflations and breast cupping. Inside the HOCATT™ chamber, first Carbonic Acid and then Ozone mix with the steam and cover the skin, hence it is a Transdermal application. The Ozone steam purifies the skin and removes toxins, enhancing the vitality of the skin. It is also fantastic for skin problems, such as eczema and psoriasis.

WEIGHT LOSS & BEAUTY

When it comes to your skin, Carbonic Acid and Ozone are the best applications for rejuvenation and beauty:

• – Slows the aging process by increasing oxygen delivery to cells.
• – Rejuvenates the skin by reducing and smoothing fine wrinkles.
• – Stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis – strengthens the collagen layer.
• – Strengthens connective tissue, tightens and firms, yet leaves the skin soft and supple.
• – Improves elasticity and texture of skin, reduces blemishes and softens acne scars.
• – Reduces cellulite.
• – Enhances weight loss – burn up to 600 calories per session!
• – Turns fat into muscle!

THE HOCATT™ IS A SINGLE UNIT DEVELOPED FOR A SINGLE PURPOSE, STRATEGIC WELLNESS, AND VITALITY. How does it do this? Using a combination of powerful modalities, the HOCATT™ detoxes the body, improves circulation, boosts energy, and strengthens the immune system.

WHY IS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM SO IMPORTANT

When it’s working properly, the immune system is nature’s most perfect healing network – it provides the ideal platform for the recovery of any illness or disease.

However, the immune system is not invincible! It can be weakened by things that overburden it, like heavy metals and toxins in the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the food we eat. In today’s world, we are all steadily exposed to toxins, and most of us remain unaware as they continue to accumulate. Eventually, the pace of incoming toxins may overtake the pace at which your body can eliminate them. When you reach this point, your body has no choice but to store some of these toxins, which it does in your fat cells. A study done in 2005 found that blood samples from newborns contained an average of 287 known toxins* – if a newborn is exposed to that many toxins, imagine how many you have been exposed to in your life!

An unhealthy lifestyle like eating too much sugar, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, lack of exercise, stress, too little sleep, and lack of oxygen also weakens the immune system. When this happens, the door is left open for a disease to creep in.

This is why supporting the immune system is so important because it’s not just there to fight diseases – a strong and balanced immune system will prevent you from getting sick in the first place. With a strong immune system, everything works better! But what does this mean for you? You’ll FEEL better, LOOK better, PERFORM better, you’ll have more energy, focus, and drive.
