Exercise and skin stimulation

It was the initial intention of the Panacea method's developer to use the device for elite athletes' performance enhancement. This was exactly what the inventor stated in his patent claim in 1978.

In 1981, the method was under investigation in the State Institute of Physical Education, Moscow, where 2450 treatments were applied to healthy young males and the following conclusions were made (courtesy of V.I. Punin, Moscow clinic "Therapevt", personal communication, 1989)

Just look at this picture taken after a 20-min session! We can be very positive that intensive skin stimulation helps to improve local circulation and restore oxygenation. This method definitely provides this type of stimulation.

o During the applicator session, heart rate of healthy young males increased for average 4.5 min., then returned to normal for the rest of the session. Arterial blood pressure might deviate from the baseline by 10 mm Hg, increasing or decreasing, during the session.

o Oxygen consumption increased by average 20 % during the session and average 5 min. after, returning to the baseline gradually after.

o CO2 expiration rate increased by average 17.5% demonstrating the dynamic similar to those for oxygen consumption.

o Physical exercise endurance with intensity 60% of maximal oxygen consumption was increased by average 10% after a 30 minute-duration session.

o Electrical parameters of acupoints for the endocrine glands and for the brain after the session became characteristic for better functional state of the organism, than before the session.

o Better functional state was confirmed also by increased skin bioluminescent radiation (effect of Kirlian) after the session.

In 1994, at the Division of Physical Therapy, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, we repeated VO2 and CO2 measurement with pretty much similar results.

In 1996-97, the Community Holistic Health Center in Carrboro, NC, USA, we followed up on 200 volunteers; 126 of them filled out and returned the questionnaires. Among them, 105 tried the device for specific health problems. The five most frequently reported conditions were: (starting with the most frequent): stress, pain, muscle spasms, mood swings and insomnia.

One or more positive effects were reported by 99 of the 105 participants with specific health problems and 13 out of the 21 participants with no specific health problems. Of the total 126 participants, 103 participants experiencing positive effects:

o 98% reported pain relief

o 96% reported relaxation

o 94% reported improvement of sleep quality,

o 81% reported an increase in energy level.
 

We have dozens of scientific reports in our database on spontaneous physical activity increase due to endorphin concentration elevation in the blood.  By helping endorphin release, the Panacea makes our bodies happier about our physical efforts.

The stimulation prepares the body for a workout

Our research shows significantly heightened metabolism due to the Panacea treatment.  We recorded additional energy expenditure due to increased body's heat dissipation through the skin.

Growth hormone release

The human body produces growth hormone (GH) throughout its lifetime, however, secretion decreases significantly with age.  GH deficiency causes inability to perform physically, plus contributes to cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, etc.  GH replacement therapy has become a very fashionable (and expensive) tool in the struggle against aging.  Many advantages of this approach are clinically proven.  Due to its prominent anabolic properties, GH stimulates lypolisis and protein synthesis, resulting in decreased body fat and increased muscle mass.

GH provides an overall improvement of the immune system and mental abilities and also enhances collagen synthesis that leads to improved skin condition. It has recently been concluded that, instead of direct GH injections, the use of natural GH releasers can be beneficial to the human body.  Exercising, fasting, and vegetarian dieting are among the known natural GH releasers.

Endogenous endorphins, produced in our bodies as a response to the Panacea treatment, are the most potent, convenient, and safe natural GH releasers.

Muscle spasm relief

We have numerous clinical and personal reports on fast spasm relief.  The treatment significantly increases blood flow to an overworked muscle. Panacea use improves metabolic conditions, oxygenation, toxin evacuation and delivery of nutrients, thus, eliminating the cause of muscle spasms. Muscle cramps during and after vigorous workouts are the result of muscle constriction that causes diminished circulation, insufficient oxygenation, and increased lactic acid concentration. Numerous experimental data have shown endorphins to be powerful tissue protectors against hypoxia (lack of oxygen).
