Can Bio-Kinetics ™ be used on everyone?
Bio-Kinetics ™ has been safely and effectively used worldwide on tens of thousands of patients of all ages, from newborn babies to people in excess of 100 years of age.
How is the stimulation accomplished with Bio-Kinetics ™?
The stimulation is introduced to a very precise area by the New-Stim Stimulator, a mechanical instrument weighing 2 ounces. This hand-held instrument is self triggering, user and patient friendly. There is no rebound, kickback or torque effect into the user’s joints. The New-Stim Stimulator delivers from 4 ounces to 5 pounds of force per thrust.
How long has the New-Stim been in use?
We received permission to market the instrument from the Food and Drug Administration in 1995, at which time it became available for purchase. The New-Stim had been utilized in research and development since 1992. It was patented in 1995, along with the Bio-Kinetics™ Contacts and “Stress-Test-Correct” procedures.

Is Bio-Kinetics ™ effective on patients with chronic or serious illness?
It is important to acknowledge that the Bio-Kinetics Health System does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. It only clears reactive stress patterns in the brain and body, thereby helping the body function better and heal itself more efficiently. Remember that Robbins Pathology Medical Textbook states that “All illness and disease is the result of malfunctioning cells”, and Dorlands Medical Dictionary states that “Health is the natural state when all parts are functioning normally”. This is the objective with Bio-Kinetics Health System, to return the body to its natural state by restoring and maintaining normal cellular function, which includes all parts and systems of the brain and body.
Does Bio-Kinetics ™ help patients with depression, anxiety or attention deficit disorders and hyper and hypo-sensitivities?
Again, the Bio-Kinetics Health System does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Abnormal stress in the body is linked to virtually every illness and therefore clearing this negative stress helps the body heal itself naturally.
How can one system help correct all of the various health problems that you've listed?
The body and brain are integrated and coordinated, designed to be in a state of health. Clearing Reactive Stress helps turn off stress patterns that are interfering with the body’s ability to heal. And since negative stress responses are linked to virtually every illness, there is a wide variety of things that it can help with.
What proof do you have that this system influences brain function?
We use various testing methods in our clinic to show patients the effects of the Bio-Kinetics Health System on the brain and body. The most convincing is called the physiological blind spot map. This is where the visual blind spots are mapped and measured on each side before and after. Substantial improvement in a persons blind spots after the Bio-Kinetics procedures documents the positive effects on the brain. We have also used pre and post electroencephalograph testing, structural balance testing, surface electromyography studies and analysis of the body’s subtle stress reactions to help us monitor and document our work.
Can you tell me more about physiological blind spots. I am not sure if I have ever heard of them.
You probably have if you have ever had your eyes examined. We all have a blind spot in our vision. It is where the optic nerve enters the back of the eye. This nerve carries the stimulation of light passing through the pupil and converts this stimulus to energy that is sent to the part of the brain called the thalamus. The thalamus, in turn, routes this energy to the proper area of the brain where vision occurs. The eye is the lens. If the thalamus is not sufficiently energized we will have abnormally enlarged blind spots. In doing the blind spot test on a normal healthy person, their blind spot is about the size of nickel or quarter and will be of equal size on each side. Many optometrists are shocked when we show them the before and after blind spot maps because they typically have never seen them change.
How does stimulating the brain affect our emotional state, what is the connection?
Emotions are recorded as energy frequencies. In the brain, each experience registers at different frequencies, (read about Bio Feed Back). Bad experiences register as aberrant erratic frequencies which in turn influence the function of other areas of the brain and affects our physical health. We have found that this process eliminates these aberrant frequencies, helping to ease the upset or harmful consequences of these bad experiences while maintaining the memory. We have found that emotions are often linked to things like pain, allergies, stomach issues and more. We are one integrated system, one part cannot be separated from the other.
Do you recommend dietary supplements, exercise, rest, etc. in your training?
Yes. Good quality nutrients (whether from foods or supplements) are vital to our health and well being. Just as you need to put good gasoline, oil, water and air in your car for it to work right, you also have to give your body all the right components it needs for repair and optimal function. We recommend working with a trained nutritionist for optimal health.
Exercise is also very important. Your brain and body need movement and stimulation to be healthy. Again using the car analogy, just by putting gas in your car will not make it run. Someone has to turn the key, start the engine, and drive it to make the car travel down the road. Bio-Kinetics Health System does this along specific pathways, however one of the best overall ways to do this for your brain and body is through exercise. Be aware though, if your exercises trigger reactive stress memories, you could be doing more harm than good. This is why we recommend getting checked for reactive stress memories with every exercise before you do them.
The body needs adequate rest and sleep in order to heal and be healthy. Sometimes reactive stress patterns can cause sleep issues. It is good to be checked for these and clear any reactions that show up.
Remember however that the best diet (vitamins, minerals), exercise, mental attitude, etc. are useless if your body is constantly in fight-or-flight mode from years of accumulated reactive stress, or if the body-brain communication system (nerve network) is compromised anywhere.
