HOW DOES POWER PLATE WORK?

Engineered precisely to apply the body’s natural reflexive response to vibration, Power Plate technology uses a vibrating platform, which moves 25 to 50 times per second, resulting in corresponding muscle activation. The vibrations are harmonic, which are safe, consistent and controlled levels of vibration, moving in three directions (up and down, forwards and backwards and side to side).

WILL USING POWER PLATE HELP ME LOSE WEIGHT?

Significant weight loss is often reported by those who use Power Plate regularly in conjunction with a healthy, calorie-controlled diet. One of the reasons for this is increased lymphatic flow and associated removal of biological waste, and retained fluid. Research shows, when used as part of an active lifestyle, Power Plate may have a significant impact upon the reduction of body fat. This may occur due to increases in metabolism both during and following exercise.

IS VIBRATING TRAINING SAFE?

There are literally hundreds of thousands of Power Plate users across the world, who have been exercising on the device for many of years. Such widespread use with no reported negative effects over an extended period demonstrates the safety of training on Power Plate. As with any form of exercise, there are certain pre-existing medical conditions, which may make Power Plate an unsuitable option. 

I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER VIBRATION PLATFORMS FOR SALE. HOW DOES POWER PLATE DIFFER FROM THESE?

Power Plate is considered the market leader, with more than 15 years’ experience in whole body vibration training, products, and services. To ensure our products offer health and fitness benefits for a wide range of users, they have been developed by our research and product development team based on proven scientific findings regarding the effects of specific vibration exercise programs. Power Plate creates a mechanical stimulation, which ranges from 25Hz to 50Hz, chosen specifically because it is out of the range of the human body's own resonance. Performance Health Systems is the only specialized company in its field to be certified medical device manufacturer.

Total Body Food and Environmental Allergy Sensitivity Test

Before you continue reading through this post, we would like to share some important information with you regarding the differences between ‘allergic reactions’ and ‘sensitivity- and intolerance reactions’. This will help you to better understand your results and the explanations in your report at the completion of the test.

When we consume anything that makes us feel unwell, or are exposed to anything in our environment that causes distress to our body, we automatically assume that we have an allergy to it. These reactions are however not always due to allergy. Allergy is a specific immune-based reaction to anything that we are exposed to, which our body cannot tolerate. The reaction is usually immediate (within 30 minutes) and involves a special subset of immune antibodies called IgE. These antibodies trigger the release of histamine, giving all the classic symptoms of allergy i.e. swelling of the lips, mouth and throat, skin rash, itching, hives and respiratory symptoms. These symptoms can vary in intensity and in extreme cases may lead to anaphylaxis, which could be fatal. Some allergic reactions are more delayed and occur up to 48 hours after exposure to the substance.

These reactions may be immune based, or a non-immune physiological reaction. The immune-based delayed reactions usually involve subsets of antibodies called IgG or IgM, with varying symptoms including skin reactions, headaches, fatigue and gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, flatulence and constipation and/or diarrhoea. Non-immune responses involve one or more physiological reactions that are not yet fully understood. Currently there are no conventional testing methods that are able to detect the causes of these sensitivity reactions and they go largely undiagnosed.

The Allergenics testing method uses a unique energy measurement technology that can detect disruptions to normal energy patterns in the body. Each substance that we eat or that we are exposed to in the environment, has a particular energy pattern that can be measured. If a particular substance causes a stress to the body, its energy pattern changes and these changes can be detected and recorded. This allows us to ascertain which substances are causing distress to our bodies and whether or not the stress is an acute (short-term) phenomenon, or chronic (longterm) phenomenon.

Please note: The Food and Environmental Sensitivity Assessment is not a medical test. It does not provide information on classic immune-based allergic reactions. It is a test that utilises energy technology to provide information on food and environmental sensitivities and intolerances. Foods that one has been avoiding in their diet prior to doing this test may not show up as reactive, or may show up at a lower reactivity level.

CDSA Testing

Your digestion is the key to good health, how well you are absorbing nutrients and how well you are eliminating toxins affects all aspects of your health. Your digestive health can be compromised by bacterial, parasite and yeast infections, as well as inflammation and issues with absorption.

That’s why the CDSA Test is so important…

What the test will show and what you will discover:

• The levels of healthy Bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus, Eschericia coli and Enterococci as deficiencies can lead to a range of health and immune problems.
• Detection of parasites and pathogenic bacteria through PCR/ DNA testing, chemical EIA and visual testing to enhance the detection of infections.
• The best type of natural treatment to address the infection and what types of antibiotics will be effective and which ones will not work.

Please contact us for further details.
