The
unique nature of LifeWave
patches: |
|
w |
LifeWave patches are unlike
any other patch technology
currently sold. |
|
w |
While
other patches placed on the
skin deliver substances into
the body, LifeWave patches
are not transdermal patches. |
|
w |
Instead
this technology is entirely
new and unique. |
|
w |
LifeWave patches do not put
any substances into the
body. Instead the safe
natural biological
substances contained within
the patches are used to
create specific biosignals
that modulate the body's
natural magnetic field in
order to enhance certain
specific biological
reactions that are already
naturally taking place.
|
|
w |
In
particular LifeWave patches
are designed to improve
energy production from fats
and increase stamina by
utilizing valid but little
known physical principles.
|
|
w |
New
discoveries in biology have
now determined that the
biological molecules of the
body work electronically as
well as chemically.
|
|
w |
Stimulation of the body with
electric or magnetic fields
is a well-accepted practice
in medicine. Most people are
aware that electric or
magnetic energy at different
frequencies can be generated
and applied to the body with
electronic devices that are
external to the body (Malmivuo
and Plonsey, 1995). The
application of electric or
magnetic energy to activate
excitable tissues/cells and
subcellular components is
called electric stimulation
or magnetic stimulation,
respectively. |
|
w |
LifeWave patch technology
also uses bioelectric
stimulation, however the
stimulation is due to the
production of specific
electrical frequencies by
the body's natural magnetic
field from materials present
in the patches. Instead of
putting a substance into the
body the patch technology
couples the frequency
signature of the substance
into the body. This paper
will explain how chemical
reactions can be activated
by either chemical
substances or by the
frequency signals of
chemical substances.

What
David Schmidt, the inventor
of LifeWave patches, has
essentially done is to use
the electronic and magnetic
features of the body like a
cellular radio to transmit
very weak bioelectric
signals from his patches
into the body to enhance the
production of energy and
stamina. His technological
discovery applies research
from many fields of science
to promote the burning of
fat as an energy source to
produce greater
strength-endurance. More
about this later. |
| |
|
|
What is
the payoff for people who
buy and use this product? |
|
w |
LifeWave patches were
designed to make people
winners. Most people
involved in any type of
physical activity will find
they have more stamina and
energy when they use these
patches. These patches will
also enhance energy and
provide the stamina needed
for carrying out the daily
activities of life.
|
|
w |
Two of
the characteristic effects
that consistently are
produced in individuals who
wear LifeWave patches are
an immediate and physically
demonstrable increase in
energy and strength
endurance that occurs within
minutes of placing the
patches on the body.
Strength endurance is the
duration of time you can
continue to exercise a given
muscle group. The increase
in strength endurance that
has been repeatedly
documented in our studies is
not a chemical phenomenon
such as would be the case
with drugs like anabolic
steroids. This effect is
instead related to an
increase in electron and ion
flows through the muscles so
that a greater number of
muscle fibers are able to
contract together within a
specific time period. This
is a physiological process
known as recruitment in
which existing muscle mass
is utilized more efficiently
in the performance of some
activity such as weight
lifting. The website
www.theLifeWave.com can be
reviewed for further
explanation. |
|
w |
If you
are an athlete involved in
organized sports and you
improve your efficiency of
energy production and
stamina by 10-15 or 20% this
may be the difference
between winning and losing. |
| |
|
|
Field
tests of LifeWave patches: |
|
w |
A
number of informal studies
were done with high school
athletes and people who work
out in Gyms prior to our
formal studies at
universities. |
|
w |
150
people participated in an
informal weight lifting
study at a local Atlanta
Gym. The lowest improvement
in strength/endurance that
was measured in men was 20%,
but the average improvement
in strength was over 30% in
men. The women in the study
had even more remarkable
results with the lowest
improvement in strength
endurance being 50% and
typical improvements in
women being over 200% in the
number of reps performed
while wearing the patches.
|
|
w |
Dr.
Gardner of Atlanta, GA. did
a study in 2003 to see if
electrical changes occur in
the body when LifeWave
patches are touching the
skin. When LifeWave patches
are held in the hands
measurable electrical
changes in the body occur
within minutes. This study
showed that there is an
electrical interaction
between the patches and the
body. More on this later.

University and College
studies: |
|
w |
Formal
double-blind placebo
controlled studies of
LifeWave patches have
already been done at Troy
State University in Alabama
and Morehouse College in
Atlanta with athletes.
|
|
w |
The
strength and conditioning
coaches who have performed
these studies have found
that the college athletes
increased their stamina, and
strength endurance while
wearing the patches. These
studies showed that athletes
who wore the patches had
improved athletic
performance. |
|
w |
At Troy
State University in
June-July 2003 both Flat
Bench Press (225lb.) and
Push-Up studies were done
with Coach Richard
Shaughnessy as the principal
investigator. In the Flat
Bench Press study the
athletes in the test group
who wore the patches had a
43.2% increase in strength
performance. In a Push-up
study done at Troy State the
Troy State strength and
endurance coaches found that
the college athletes
averaged up to 54% more
push-ups in their third
repetition set while wearing
the patches. |
|
w |
At
Morehouse College of
Atlanta, GA. a double-blind
placebo controlled bench
press study was done in 2003
with a group of 44 college
football players by Joseph
A. Goodson MS, ATC, Head
Athletic Trainer at
Morehouse College. The bench
press study was done with
football players after a
60-minute heavy training
workout. |
|
w |
In this
study the athletes did a
60-minute workout that
included weight lifting
routines designed by the
strength coaches. The
workout consisted of
exercises such as Bench
Press, Dumbell Flys,
Shoulder Press, Lat
Pulldowns, etc., with each
exercise being performed for
3 sets of 8 repetitions.
During the tests, the
athletes were asked to
complete a questionnaire,
and report - both
objectively and subjectively
- what results were obtained
while performing the weight
lifting exercises.
Information of interest
included how much weight the
athlete was able to lift
while performing the
exercises, how well the
athlete was able to recover
between exercises, any
muscle cramping, soreness,
and overall feelings of
energy after the weight
lifting sessions were
completed. |
|
w |
The
Baseline data was collected
on Monday morning, February
24, 2003 after the 60-minute
workout. Based on prior
experience, each athlete was
asked to select a Bench
Press weight of either 185
lbs. or 225 lbs. The purpose
of this selection was so
that each athlete could
perform at least 1
repetition at the weight
used. Each athlete performed
the exercise for one set
doing as many repetitions as
possible (to failure).
|
|
w |
The
Comparative data was
collected on Thursday
morning, February 27, 2003
again after the 60-minute
workout. The study was
set-up as a double-blind
placebo controlled study.
Prior to the testing day, a
set of 60 envelopes were
made up, numbered, and had
randomly placed inside
either a real set of
LifeWave patches, a set of
Placebo patches that only
contained water (identical
in appearance to the
LifeWave patches) or a
paper that said "Control".
LifeWave Products, LLC
supplied the patches for the
study, and did not provide
the authors with the
information of which patches
were real or placebos until
after the tests had been
completed. In the
comparative phase of the
study each athlete again
performed the bench press
exercise (with the same
weight they used on
February, 24) for one set
doing as many repetitions as
possible (to failure).
|
|
w |
In
addition, to make the test
more challenging for the
LifeWave technology, the
Bench Press test was
performed immediately after
the athletes had completed
the intense 60-minute upper
body workout previously
described. |
|
The
CONTROL GROUP experienced an
average improvement in
repetitions from Monday to
Thursday of 2.3%.
|
|
The
PLACEBO GROUP experienced an
average improvement in
repetitions from Monday to
Thursday of 4.9%.
|
|
The
LifeWave GROUP experienced
an average improvement in
repetitions from Monday to
Thursday of 34%.
|
|
In
summary the subjects in the
test group who wore the
patches had an average
increase in strength
endurance of 34%.
|

|
The
role of information in
society: |
|
w |
The
control of information in
our society is paramount to
success. Good information,
that is timely, can mean the
difference between success
and failure. Winners know
that the acquisition and
utilization of good
information can enhance
personal and business
performance. |
|
w |
Information transfer one
hundred years ago was by
telegraph, newspapers,
letters, books and word of
mouth, but in today's
society information transfer
is the new technological
revolution where radio,
television, satellites,
cable systems, phones,
faxes, computers and the
internet continually
transfer information to all
parts of the world. The
average person now uses
these technologies daily.
|
|
w |
In
today's society we all have
access to electronic marvels
that even the king's of old
never even dreamed about.
Yet electronic wonders like
computers, telephones, cell
phones, faxes, televisions
and radios are so common we
now take them for granted.
People accept that radios,
phones and televisions work
because they see and hear
for themselves that
something is happening. The
average person does not know
how their radios, TVs and
cell phones work, but they
do know that they do work.
We all rely on these and
other communication devices
every day to receive and
transmit information to
increase our personal and
business efficiency and to
give ourselves a performance
edge. |
|
w |
At this
time in history a brand new
technology has now become
available that can give your
body a personal performance
edge. LifeWave patches are
a new leap forward in
performance enhancement
technology. LifeWave
patches have been designed
to create specific
biological information
signals that can increase
energy and endurance to help
people be on the top of
their game whether in
sports, business or other
aspects of their daily life.
|
|
w |
If you
want to increase your energy
and performance you owe it
to yourself to take
advantage of LifeWave's new
biofrequency technology.
|

|
A
discussion on cellular
energy: |
|
w |
The
single most important
function of a cell is the
continual and uninterrupted
production of energy. Energy
is essential, since it is
needed to operate the
biochemical machinery of all
cells. In order to produce
an adequate supply of energy
the cells of the body
require biofuels (sugars,
fats, proteins) and certain
essential nutrients like
vitamins, minerals, trace
elements and amino acids
that act as biocatalysts on
these fuels to accelerate
the enzyme reactions
involved in energy
production. These essential
nutrients as well as the
enzymes and other
biomolecules of cells have
both unique chemical
structures and unique
electromagnetic frequency
patterns. |
|
w |
It is
commonly accepted that
chemicals and enzymes are
needed to initiate catalytic
reactions, however basic
scientific research has
shown that the application
of the correct frequencies
can be used to further
enhance cyclical catalytic
reactions. This concept will
be explored in more depth
later in this paper. |
| |
|
|
Concepts of energy and
information: |
|
w |
A
scientist's conventional way
of thinking about energy is
to define energy as the
capacity to do work. Several
hundred years ago the
Scottish inventor James Watt
developed a more efficient
steam engine that launched
the Industrial Revolution.
Watt did not invent the
steam engine he simply
discovered ways to make it
more efficient. |
|
w |
At the
end of the 19th century
Nikola Tesla invented the
radio and an Italian
inventor named Marconi
commercialized it. Marconi
simply made Tesla's
discovery more efficient.
The invention of the radio
allowed people for the first
time to use wireless
communication to transmit
electromagnetic energy from
one place to another. With
the invention of the radio
we see that electromagnetic
energy can be used to
transmit information from
one place to many places. We
now take wireless
information transfer for
granted. |
|
w |
What
David Schmidt, the inventor
of LifeWave technology, has
done is develop an effective
system of delivering certain
specific natural biological
frequencies into the body to
turbo charge the chemical
reactions involved in the
burning of fat to produce
energy and electrochemical
reactions involved in
producing muscle stamina.
Many people at this point
may dismiss this idea and
David's LifeWave technology
as hogwash. If a person has
their mind made up and
closed nothing I say here
will convince them to change
their mind. However this
paper is written for curious
individuals who are open
minded enough to investigate
whether such a thing is
possible. |

|
|
Analogies: |
|
w |
Understanding the mechanism
of action of these patches
is difficult for most people
since the general belief is
that increased energy
production in the body can
only result from the use of
substances that are consumed
or absorbed through the
skin. |
|
w |
My
experience is that people
don't believe that LifeWave
patches can work because
these patches don't put
anything into the body
except bioelectric signals
at specific frequencies.
|
|
w |
I have
found that one way of
understanding the technology
behind LifeWave patches is
through the use of analogies
like the concept of radio or
electrical transformers. I
will review these concepts
later in the paper in order
to help relate the
biophysical principles that
underlie the mechanism of
action of these patches. |
| |
|
The electric nature of the
body |
| |
|
The
body's cells and tissues
possess an intrinsic
electric nature that permits
the transmission of signals
for information and control
of biological processes (Malmivuo
and Plonsey, 1995). The
currency of information flow
in the body is electron and
ionic flow.
Vision, hearing, and touch
are all examples of the
conduction of electrical
information. The eye, ear
and the skin have sensory
transducers that convert
light waves, sound waves and
mechanical waves into
bioelectrical signals that
are conducted to the brain
(Berne et al., 1993). The
mode of transmission of
information in the nervous
system is by frequency
modulation (FM).
The brain in turn processes
the information present in
the bioelectrical signals
(called action potentials)
sent from the sensory organs
and responds by sending out
other bioelectrical signals
through the nerves to
control the voluntary
contraction of muscles, the
activity of the body's
organs, hormone release, and
so on (Nicholls et al.,
2001).
It is well accepted that
information can be conveyed
to the body in the form of
electromagnetic waves. No
one doubts that the eyes can
detect visible light, that
the ears can detect sound
from pressure waves carried
by the atmosphere and that
the sensory information
collected from both the eyes
and the ears is invaluable
for survival. However both
visible light and sound are
just different portions of
the electromagnetic
spectrum. It is logical to
conclude and it has been
proven scientifically that
other portions of the
electromagnetic spectrum
also have beneficial
biological effects.
The key step necessary for
utilization of these other
beneficial portions of the
electromagnetic spectrum is
to develop a delivery system
that can provide safe, and
specific electrical
frequencies that promote
valuable effects. LifeWave
patches are basically a
technology that provides the
body with another group of
biologically important
electrical frequencies that
are present in different
portions of the
electromagnetic spectrum.
The cellular components of
the organs of the eyes and
ears respond to electrical
frequencies that they are
tuned to receive. The
biologically useful
bioelectric frequencies
created by the LifeWave
patches are resonantly
coupled to small subcellular
components such as membrane
receptors and enzymes that
are present in other organs
such as the muscles.
The use of specific
bioelectrical frequencies to
promote energy production
from fat in the muscles is
similar to the activation of
cellular structures in an
organ like the eye with
visible light frequencies.
In both examples the
coupling of biosignals into
the body initiates
biological chemical
reactions. LifeWave patches
just activate different
organs with a different set
of bioelectrical
frequencies. The concept of
coupling electrical energy
externally to an internally
implanted pacemaker to
charge its batteries or
change its pacing rate is
already a very well
established in biomedical
engineering.
Examples of effects seen
with LifeWave patches
include: performance
enhancement and improved
strength endurance. If you
are involved in physical
activity LifeWave
technology can provide a
valuable assist to being on
the top of your game. |

The
body's muscles are designed
so that each muscle cell is
connected to a nerve supply
so that the brain can direct
muscle fibers to contract or
relax (Berne et al., 1993).
When muscle fibers contract
they are responding to nerve
signals that have caused
calcium ions to be released
in the muscle fibers. This
process is called
excitation-contraction
coupling. Triggering the
release of calcium ions by
bioelectric nerve signals
initiates the mechanism of
muscle fiber contraction.
When the muscle needs to
relax calcium ions are
pumped back into cellular
storage sites.
For those interested in more
detail,
excitation--contraction
coupling involves a process
where chemical and
electrical signals are
coupled at the membrane
surface of muscle cells
causing the intracellular
release of calcium (Ca2+),
which initiates the
contraction of muscle fibers
(Fabiato, 1985; Catterall,
1991). Electrical impulses
from spinal nerves cause a
release of the
neurotransmitter
acetylcholine in an area
known as the neuromuscular
junction. When acetylcholine
binds to its receptor on the
muscle cell membrane, which
is called the sarcolemma, an
action potential is
generated. This action
potential activates voltage
sensitive receptors in
invaginations of the muscle
cell membrane called T
tubules, which results in
the release of calcium into
muscle fibers and the
initiation of muscle fiber
contraction (Berne et al.,
1993).
When a muscle such as the
biceps is activated by
putting tension on it by
lifting a weight the muscle
responds by causing a
percentage of muscle fibers
to contract. But not all of
the fibers in a muscle
contract at the same time.
The goal of training is to
condition the muscle to
increase or recruit more
muscle fibers to contract at
the same time. A highly
trained athlete is able to
recruit more muscle fibers
to contract than an
unconditioned person, but
even so there is still some
percentage of fibers that do
not contract because calcium
is not released in all
muscle fibers at the same
time.
Besides the fat burning and
energy enhancing effects,
LifeWave patches have also
been designed to deliver
specific biosignals that
increase calcium release in
the muscles so that a
greater percentage of muscle
fibers contract at the same
time.
Along with the increased
energy from accelerating fat
metabolism this translates
into greater strength
endurance and performance.
If you are running,
bicycling, weight lifting,
or playing tennis, golf,
soccer, baseball, football,
etc. you don't want to be
tired in the middle of your
workout, race or game.
Instead you want to have
sustained stamina, energy
and strength.
If you watch a college
football game you will see
at the beginning of the game
that the players are all
excited and energized when
they are running out on the
field. But if you watch that
same team come out on the
field after the halftime
break you will see some of
the players are walking
slower back on the field
because they are tired. If
you are a coach you want to
have a team that is coming
out at halftime still ready
to go when the other team is
tired.
The coaches who have used
our patches have found that
the players don't tire as
fast during the game. We
have basically found that
athletes have improved
performance when they use
LifeWave patches.
