Areas of research
Our group is dedicated to applications of energy techniques to healing. We have been focused on the use of electronic signals to directly promote cell healing and growth using principles of physics and quantum mechanics. Electronic cell signal treatment (EST) utilizes a sophisticated cell technique power by an far advanced electronic cell signaling device manufactured by Sanexas GMbh, Germany. All of my research utilizes the application of a digitally produced alternating current sinusoidal electronic signal with associated harmonics to produce scientifically documented physiological effects when applied to the human body. We have developed clinically proven methods for reversing peripheral neuropathy of all kinds; we have a documented 80% success rate as we continue to improve cell signaling algorithms and clinical applications.
