Life, Electromagnetic Energy and Your Well-Being
“What we are doing is bringing energy
back into the living system…. What is emerging is a new paradigm of life,
energy, and medicine.” 1
- Dr. Robert Becker, Nobel Prize Nominee
Abstract
The TESLAR® technology, while
utilizing electromagnetic field principles, is otherwise unrelated to magnets,
medallions or copper bracelets. The TESLAR® technology is an active
technology that produces an oscillating signal which helps to strengthen and
reinforce the body’s own energy field. TESLAR Inside Corporation makes no
representation of or comparison to magnets or other similar passive devices.

Conclusion
The Science of Mind and Body
Our understanding of human health is
changing rapidly. Acupuncture, yoga, meditation, feng-shui, and other mind-body
healing practices are bringing ‘energy’ and the profound power of the mind to
the forefront of our western consciousness.
Mind-Body healing practices remind us that,
when given relief from environmental stresses such as difficult work situations,
chaotic environments, and unhealthy relationships, in addition to the large
amounts of manmade electronic pollution emitted from our electronic devices, the
human body has a tremendous capacity to heal itself … naturally. It is therefore
our lesson to be learned that “we must work with nature rather than try to
improve upon it.”
You are about to learn what modern science
is only now re-discovering … that nature is energy. Our bodies are energy. Life,
itself … is energy.
What is Mind-Body Medicine?
“A key tenet of Mind-Body medicine is that
health is not the mere absence of disease. Rather, it is the dynamic integration
of our environment, body, mind and spirit.” In recent years, studies have linked
daily environmental stress to many health problems, from painful menstrual pains
in women 3 and heart attacks following stressful work situations to
increased mortality in people recently laid off from work, among many other
findings. In 2004, researchers revealed for the first time that high levels of
stress can actually damage DNA. In this study of 58 women, Dr. Elissa Epil of
the University of California (SF) discovered that stress impacts women’s health
by increasing the rate of cellular aging, adding as much as 10 years to ‘DNA
age’ compared to low stress women. Dr. Epil concluded that these findings can
help us understand how “stress may promote earlier onset of age-related
diseases.”
It is not surprising then, that Mind-Body
science research is pouring out studies showing the positive health benefits of
such healing practices as meditation and yoga. Both Newsweek and Time magazine
recently published special issues on the “New Science of Mind and Body”
detailing research on how meditation can reduce arthritic pain, yoga can help
counter the physical effects of chronic stress, and simple relaxation techniques
can even help diabetics maintain healthy blood-sugar levels. In HIV research, a
UCLA study found that simple optimism is associated with stronger immune
function. The evidence is so overwhelming that major universities such as
Harvard, Duke, and Arizona have created innovative medical programs dedicated to
the exploration of Mind-Body healing sciences.
‘Energy’ and Mind-Body Science
The body is electric. The heartbeat is an
electrical impulse measured by EKG. Brain waves are electromagnetic brain
signals recorded by EEG. In 1972, Yale anatomy professor, Dr. Harold Saxton
Burr, published 40 years of research documenting the existence of
electromagnetic energy fields around all living organisms which “reveal both
physical and mental conditions [and] offer new insight into the state of both
body and mind.” Dr. Burr’s work also showed that these energy fields come first,
guiding the material of growing organisms into their proper place. Since his
landmark publication, countless other researchers have documented and published
similar research detailing energy fields that surround all living organisms and
the nature of their relationship to mental and physical well-being. Dr. Robert
Becker, twice nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine, stated “all living
things are surrounded by a magnetic field extending out into space from our
bodies, and [these] fields from the brain reflect what is happening in the
brain.”
In her book, Infinite Mind, UCLA
professor Dr. Valerie Hunt recounts over 30 years of research and her startling
first encounter with this human energy field while measuring electrical muscle
activity in professional dancer, Emilie Conrad. To her complete bewilderment,
Dr. Hunt was unable to find any electrical activity in Emilie’s muscles shortly
into her dance routine – there should have been substantial electrical activity
during such physical exercise. Instead, the only energy Dr. Hunt could find was
pouring out of the top of her head “with intensity beyond what our equipment
could handle.” Emilie simply explained, “I create a field of energy and ride
it.” Dr. Hunt immediately began her exploration of these energy field patterns,
and years of subsequent research revealed that the mind plays a critical role in
the creation and patterning of these electromagnetic energy fields, and that
these fields in turn help shape the physical structure of our bodies, just as
Dr. Burr discovered.
In fact, what researchers such as Dr. Burr,
Dr. Becker, and Dr. Hunt, among many others, are proving is that this energy
field surrounding the body - what Dr. Hunt calls the “Mind Field” – may be the
until-now missing link in the science of Mind and Body.
Many question, “How can the Mind possibly
affect the Body?” But doctors forget that simply thinking sad thoughts can bring
salty tears to bloodshot eyes. Researchers ignore what we have all experienced -
that spending time with a depressed or negative person can leave us feeling down
and even upset, as well; just as spending time with an upbeat, positive person
can help us feel more healthy and energized. We can all appreciate that laughter
truly is tremendous medicine. And art has proven for millennia with intense
energy fields of sound (Mozart) and light (Van Gogh) that it can immediately -
and forever - transform the human experience.
The evidence is literally all around us. We
are electric beings, surrounded by an electromagnetic energy field that directly
relates to our mental and physical well -being. Harvard is studying the science
of Mind and Body, because, as Albert Einstein taught us with his most famous
equation, E = mc2 (Energy = Matter), energy and matter are in essence
the same thing. How we work to create our own electromagnetic energy field
affects the physical structure of our body.
Natural Electromagnetic Energy
When meditating or engaged in focused
concentration, the brain creates strong electromagnetic signals of around 7 to 9
Hertz (Hz), also called Alpha waves. When athletes are in “the Zone” – that
place where athletic performance almost magically excels – certain patterns of
increased Alpha waves typically precede, and even appear to enable, such moments
of peak performance. In 2000, scientists at University of Chicago revealed that
as professional golfers meditatively visualize a putt before taking it, their
brains emit strong Alpha wave signals.
Bio-medical engineer, Itzhak Bentov,
described how a natural 7 Hz Alpha-like signal works rhythmically inside the
body during meditation, connecting the skeleton and inner organs with the heart
in a resonant dance that enables the heart to work less in “driving the body.”
He
proposed that meditation, which creates
this 7 Hz frequency both internally in the physical body and externally in the
body’s electromagnetic energy field, in turn radiates this signal out through
the earth’s electromagnetic field, interacting with others’ electromagnetic
fields and thus potentially helping them to achieve this resonant 7 Hz state, as
well.
Interestingly, the Earth’s natural
electromagnetic field frequencies are measured daily to average around 7.8 Hz
(called the Schumann Resonance) by scientists at UC -Berkeley’s Seismology
Laboratory. This natural average frequency at the earth’s surface is similar to
the 7 to 9 Hz Alpha frequencies emitted by the human brain in states of
meditation, calm, and exceptional performance - the brain’s relaxation signal is
identical to the earth’s natural frequency! Famous research by Dr. Rutger Wever
in 1973 showed that a weak “earth signal” could dramatically restore biorhythm
patterns to most biological measurements when a person is isolated from the
earth’s 7.8 Hz field.
The Dangers of Electromagnetic Pollution
Less than 75 years ago, when humankind used
very little electricity and few radio frequencies, our bodies lived in harmony
with the Earth’s natural 7.8 Hz frequency. In just the last few decades,
electricity and radio frequencies have increased tremendously such that we are
now routinely exposed to levels of electromagnetic energy millions of times
higher than ever before.21 In 2000, Nobel-prize nominee Dr. Robert
Becker stated, "I have no doubt in my mind that at the present time the greatest
polluting element in the earth©s environment is the proliferation of
electromagnetic fields [EMF].”
Dr. William Rae, a former surgeon, created
the Environmental Health Center (Dallas) in 1974 after discovering that his
puzzling allergic and neurological problems were due to EMF in the hospital’s
increasingly electronic operating room. His center has since helped thousands of
people with sensitivities to EMF, many of whom did not realize the connection
between their illnesses and EMF since they were often told by doctors that their
symptoms were “all in their minds.”
In addition to the growing number of people
who may suffer from allergies to electromagnetic fields (which may include
symptoms such as severe headaches, fatigue, glandular pain,
hyperactivity, and more), in the last few
decades evidence has mounted that manmade EMF may play a role in such diseases
as Alzheimer’s, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Cancer and other illnesses. Additional
recent evidence suggests manmade EMF may also be related to problems such as
increased male infertility, miscarriage, headaches, sleeplessness, problems
concentrating, and much more.
Governments, while often adopting the
wait-and-see approach, have spoken out about the possible effects of EMF on
humans. The US Environmental Protection Agency acknowledged in 1992 that recent
research suggested magnetic fields may produce “significant effects.” The World
Health Organization’s cancer research agency, IARC, stated in 2001 that they
have “now concluded that ELF magnetic fields are possibly carcinogenic to
humans….” In Europe, the conversation is more advanced than in the USA. In
February, 2003, the European Commission and the WHO held a joint conference on
the Precautionary Principle regarding EMF exposure. In some countries, such as
Portugal and Spain, concerned local governments have already begun to outlaw the
installation of cell-phone relay towers on apartment building roofs and near
schools. And in the Fall of 2003, CNN reported on a study conducted by three
Dutch government ministries. This study, called “the first of its kind,” showed
that radio signals for the next generation of mobile phone services can cause
headaches and nausea.
Manmade EMF pollution is clearly one of the
most serious environmental issues of today. What would happen if our bodies were
able to function free of manmade electronic pollution and could live once again
in the gentle, natural frequency environment of the earth?
The TESLAR Technology
Invented in 1986, the TESLAR technology was
designed to emit a unique 7 to 9 Hz Alpha wave signal that interacts with and
strengthens your body’s own electromagnetic energy field. Similar to the Earth’s
natural 7.8 Hz signal and the Alpha wave signals emitted by the brain when you
are calm, meditating, or doing yoga, or when athletes are in states of high
performance, this TESLAR signal also helps reinforce your energy field against
the possible negative effects of external, low-energy electromagnetic fields
(EMF).
Much
like listening to a clear radio broadcast free from static, the TESLAR signal
helps your energy field filter out annoying and potentially harmful
electromagnetic ‘static’ such that your body can stay closer to its peak
performance, both physically and mentally.
In Honor of Nikola Tesla:
A Pioneer of Energy Science
The TESLAR technology was named for Nikola
Tesla, a Yugoslavian immigrant who worked with Thomas Edison. Tesla, a brilliant
inventor, is the man who gave us alternating current. He is considered the
father of scalar, non-Hertzian technology, the technology used in the TESLAR
chip.
Scientific Research
Researchers began independent testing on
the original TESLAR chip in 1988. In an independent pilot study done in 1989,
Dr. Eldon Byrd, PhD, former U.S. Navy scientist for the investigation and
research of the biological effects of ELF, observed a decrease in overall
frequency amplitude and a shift toward lower frequencies in EEG recordings from
individuals wearing the TESLAR watch. This pilot study demonstrated that the
brain throws off 80% of the assaulting ELF with the help of the TESLAR.
Other studies have used Electro-dermal
Screening (EDS). Electro-dermal screening was developed 35 years ago by Dr.
Reinhold Voll, a German M.D., who combined the principles of acupuncture with
modern technology. Each individual structure in the body has its own
electromagnetic field. According to EDS, the strength of this electromagnetic
field can be measured at identified acupuncture points, each point having a
direct relationship to a specific organ. Using sensitive instruments, one can
measure the electromagnetic potential at each point and thus draw a conclusion
as to the electrical balance of the inner organs.
Using EDS in 1991, Dr. Anthony Scott-
Morley, PhD, M.D. (alternative medicine), tested a variety of devices claiming
to protect the subject from various environmental stresses. While testing an
early version of the analog TESLAR watch, Dr. Scott-Morley showed the presence
of the watch enabled the body to screen out or block ambient signals within our
environment and those produced by generators and computer terminals. Testing the
TESLAR on many of his patients, he recorded dramatic improvements in the energy
level readings of most organs. Wolde Korol, Diplomat of Acupuncture, replicated
Dr. Scott-Morley’s findings in 1992.
Dr. Glen Rein, PhD, while at Stanford
Medical School, conducted in-vitro research using the TESLAR watch to isolate
from possible psychosomatic effects in patients - the placebo effect. Dr. Rein’s
results showed that the presence of the TESLAR watch provided an environment in
which there was, on average, 137% enhancement of human lymphocyte proliferation
(immune function). Another test demonstrated that nerve cells could inhibit
their uptake of noradrenalin (a depression-fighting process) by as much as 19.5%
in the presence of the TESLAR watch.
In June, 2002, the results of a pilot
Heart-Rate Variability (HRV) study conducted by Dr. Michael Borkin, N.D.,
appeared in Alternative Medicine Magazine demonstrating the Philip Stein TESLAR
watch’s positive influence in the presence of a cell phone. HRV is the
measurement of the beat-to-beat changes in heart rate, giving a dynamic glimpse
into the autonomic nervous system’s (ANS) state. This system controls the
beating of the heart, the movement of the gastrointestinal tract and the
secretion of hormones by the endocrine glands, among other vital functions.
Thus, an HRV test is a good measurement of a body’s overall response to stimuli.
Dr. Borkin stated that his HRV study showed that the use of the Philip Stein
TESLAR watch “may in fact compensate for some of the negative impact of using a
cell phone.”
In 2003, British Medical Doctor, Nyjon
Eccles, Member of the Royal Council of Physicians, saw similar results on
patients. Dr. Eccles’ HRV testing confirmed that without the Philip Stein TESLAR
watch, the autonomic nervous system becomes stressed when exposed to an
energized mobile phone. While wearing the Philip Stein TESLAR watch in the
presence of an energized cell phone, Dr. Eccles’ results revealed a “stabilizing
effect” on or even “beneficial stimulation” of parasympathetic regulatory system
activity.
Dr. Valerie Hunt, professor emeritus of
UCLA and founder of the BioEnergy Fields Foundation, has performed extensive
research on the human body’s electromagnetic field. Dr. Hunt’s experience with
the TESLAR technology has led her to conclude that wearing the TESLAR watch
“makes the [biofield] more dynamic and coherent, so that its transactions with
the world are not just reactionary, but also selective.”
Conclusion
We live in a world of high technology and
sophisticated living. Our modern lifestyles encourage us to move and work faster
in an attempt to accomplish more in less time than ever before. As a result of
this stressful lifestyle and the pervasive electronic technology that powers it,
our life-expectancy increases while our lifelong health declines. Fortunately,
Mind-Body healing practices and scientific research are helping to transform our
western consciousness, reminding us that we are not simply in the
Universe but also of the Universe, and that this Universe – our planet
Earth – is electric … our bodies are electric.
The TESLAR technology, in actively creating
positive, natural energy inside the body’s electromagnetic energy field, is a
profound advancement in Mind-Body science. Dr. Hunt’s research led her to
propose that health and sickness begin, continue and end first in the body’s
energy field, and that the best and most natural treatments are those which
directly impact this energy field. Dr. Hunt concluded:
“Life exists and is molded by its [energy]
fields. … Whatever conditions affect the human energy field will positively or
negatively influence the body’s healing capacity. … Regeneration comes from
re-energizing the field, and hence the body.”
