Modality

Hyperthermia is an artificially induced fever that provides the body with all the same healing effects as a natural fever. It is used locally or over the entire body. Perhaps the most important yet most overlooked mechanism of a fever is the fact that it increases mitochondrial function. It is important to note that without exception, degenerative diseases are not possible in an individual where the mitochondria function is at optimum levels.

One form of hyperthermia is provided by the steam sauna which mimics a fever state resulting in an effective natural process of detoxifying and stimulating the healing processes. FIR Far Infrared Rays, raise the body temperature at a deeper level. The HOCATT™ System used both Far Infrared Rays and steam sauna to increase the body’s temperature safely and effectively. Artificially induced hyperthermia results in the destruction of bacteria and viruses combined with heavy sweating resulting in a cleansing effect. Adding ozone will result in the elimination of toxins and accumulation mainly in the lymphatic system relieving the liver from the difficult task of dealing with them. In a 1959 review of studies on the effects of heat treatments, Mayo Clinic researcher Dr. Wakim and colleagues cite findings indicating that the number of white blood cells in the blood increased by an average of 58% during artificially induced fever. The generation of antibodies speeds up, as does the production of interferon, an anti-viral protein that also has powerful properties. Documented studies show that induced Hyperthermia eliminates anaerobic viruses and bacteria; cleans and detoxifies; aids mental clarity; cleans veins and arteries improving circulation and speeds up metabolic processes resulting in a 200-450 calorie loss per session. Research has indicated that in most cases, there can be a reversal of many degenerative type diseases and ameliorating aging process.

Unlike normal tissue, tumors have poor blood flow relative to their metabolic needs and cannot dissipate the heat, so they tend to get hotter than the surrounding area. Rapidly dividing cells are more vulnerable to the effect of heat. Normally, part of the damage caused by radiation is repaired by the cells, enabling some to survive, however, heat foils this self-repair ability. Taken together, these facts tend to make tumors more vulnerable to heat treatment than normal cells. Hyperthermia increases Tumor Necrosis Factor (a substance produced by the immune systems to eliminate tumor) by 500 times. Hyperthermia is now approved in the US for treatment of different areas.

What Is Electrotherapy?

Frequency Specific Micro-Currents (Electrotherapy) has been one of the most widely researched and published therapies in the world. This modality deliverers a drug-free, non-invasive and non-addictive solution for a sizeable number of health issues. Radio frequencies, transformed into electrical impulses are tuned in and reverberate at the frequency that matches resonance that will produce the desired results. There are 122 frequency specific micro-currents to choose from for a specific disease state that is dialed into the HOCATT™. The options are designed to allow the choice of one or two that best meets your health care needs at the moment. Frequencies in-tune with precise pathogens (viral agents, fungi, bacterial) seek out and eliminate them.

Frequency Specific Micro-Currents

Electrotherapy is known for the treatment of pain associated with fractures, post-operative incisions tendinitis or arthritic inflammation, muscle weakness or loss and depression. Pain sensation could be reduced in many cases by stimulation or primary afferent nerve fibers. Afferent fibers can be activated by electrical stimulation or by natural stimuli such as vibration. In pain management four effects are known through depolarization, repolarization (stimulating effects), shaking effect and sustained depolarization (healing effect).

How Does It Work?

Stimulating effects are induced by repeated depolarization and repolarization of excitable cells (nerve or muscle action impulses). These are low-frequency currents, such as faradic, neo faradic, didynamic, high voltage, triangular and ultra-stimulating currents as well as amplitude-modulated middle frequency currents such as interferential currents or amplitude-modulated middle-frequency currents applied via two electrodes. Such repetitive depolarization and repolarization do not produce healing effects.
Healing effects are produced in excitable and non-excitable cells by the shaking effect (idle frequency current); sustained depolarization (middle frequency current); transport of electric charge carriers (direct effect), heat generation (using frequency current).

Breathing Pure Oxygen

In the mid 1900’s a German researcher and applied physicist and inventor pioneered what is today known as Exercise with Oxygen or (EWO). Medical research and real case studies show the dramatic and unbelievable ways EWO has changed people’s lives by helping to practically halt age-associated diseases such as cardiovascular and arthritis.

As we age, our cells lose the ability to function in a normal state. Our cells are key in the body’s natural functions, digestion, reproduction, detoxification, elimination, hormone production, immune and neurological function and the body’s ability to repair itself. Our oxygen levels tend to decrease, so there is a slowdown of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) production. This decline in oxygen and ATP tend to cause the capillaries to swell reducing oxygen supply to the tissues.
Disease thrives in a body that has low oxygen intake. Being active aids the body in fighting disease and sickness and by adding high-quality oxygen the body will ward off disease and illness.

There is a connection between optimal mitochondrial function and overall cardiovascular health and aging. The way to decelerate the body’s deterioration is by obtaining and maintaining optimal aerobic ATP production throughout the aging process, by increasing oxygen levels and this will slow the aging process.

Aromatherapy

also referred to as Essential Oil modality, is a form of alternative medicine that uses essential oils and other aromatic compounds from plants for healing. It has also been defined as the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote the health of body, mind and spirit, thus enhancing the body’s ability to find a natural way to heal itself and improve immune response. It is based on the principle that natural fragrances, or essential oils, from certain plants or flowers, can affect our moods, and consequently how we think or feel at any given time and that it has medicinal benefits including antidepressant and antibacterial properties. Although the word “aroma” makes it sound as if the oils are inhaled, they can also be massaged into the skin applied in other topical ways such as baths or steam. Whether inhaled or applied to the skin, essential oils are gaining new attention as an alternative treatment for infections, stress, and other health problems. In most cases scientific evidence is still lacking, however, some evidence exists that essential oils may have therapeutic potential. The results from the study on a large number of clients have shown that they respond positively to the transdermal absorption method of essential oils. The results indicate that the aromatherapy reduces anxiety levels and stress which can result in lowering blood pressure, increase the quality of sleep, and reduce toxicity.
