Introduction:
The LifeWave™ technology is a
new, Patent Pending and
innovative approach to
performance enhancement, to
increase stamina and energy. The
LifeWave™ device is presently
embodied in the form of a sport
patch, and as such is worn by a
user at specific points on the
human body in the same fashion
as a band aid or transdermal
patch. The LifeWave™ products
contain NO magnets, NO
batteries, NO copper or
dissimilar metals, it is NOT a
transdermal infusion system or
anything of this nature.
Instead, LifeWave™ utilizes in
part a novel arrangement and
proprietary process-construction
of FDA listed beneficial
orthomolecular organic compounds
to achieve the truly amazing
results reported to LifeWave™ by
users of the products. These
orthomolecular organic compounds
have been determined by the FDA
to be safe for use in the
presence of humans; in addition,
the materials utilized in the
ground-breaking research
conducted by LifeWave™
scientists are more fully
described as complex
orthomolecular organic
structures that are capable of
either thermomagnetic
levorotatory action due to the
atom proton energy associated
with thermomagnetic fields or
thermomagnetic dextrorotatory
action due to the atom proton
energy associated with
thermomagnetic fields. In both
cases, in the practical
embodiments of the LifeWave™
devices, the orthomolecular
organic materials utilized are
arranged parallel with respect
to the plane of thermomagnetic
rotation. LifeWave™ Products,
LLC manufactures the LifeWave™
Sport Patch devices at FDA
registered facilities that
comply with GMP and QSR
requirements.
Principle -
Theory of Operation:
How does the LifeWave™
technology work? The LifeWave™
concept is based on the
principle that the atom proton
energy associated with human
thermomagnetic fields are
capable of interacting with
passive orthomolecular organic
materials so long as these
materials are arranged parallel
to the plane of rotation, with
this arrangement inducing
electron flow due to well known
and long established
electromotive principles. It is
well known in conventional
industrial electrical generators
and alternators that electricity
is produced as a result of the
relative rotation of magnetic
fields in the presence of a
conductor such as copper wire.
In the LifeWave™ technology and
device, the human body provides
both the oscillating
thermomagnetic field as well as
the conductive media
(electrolytes), with the
LifeWave™ device passively
interacting with this
thermomagnetic field so as to
induce electron flow in the
conductive media through field
shaping and resonance feedback
effects.
Recently, work performed in the
field of thermally induced
quantum tunneling effects have
yielded devices capable of
thermionic emission at a scale
of only 20 nanometers. In these
devices, electron or ion
emission are due to the
temperature of the emitter, with
the rate of emission increasing
rapidly with a resultant
increase in temperature. These
devices in part mimic conditions
existing at the microscopic
level in human beings. In
addition, work performed by
Brownridge has demonstrated in
the laboratory that either
thermal gradients or static
thermal conditions are capable
of inducing potential gradients
in certain crystalline organic
materials where the enharmonic
ionic vibrations of these
materials lack a center of
symmetry and as a result produce
crystalline polarization. Again,
these systems for producing
electron flow and potential are
present at the microscopic level
in human beings.
It is well known that hemoglobin
is the Iron-containing pigment
of the red blood cells. Its
function is to carry Oxygen from
the lungs to the tissues. It is
also well known that collagen is
a Copper containing, fibrous
insoluble protein in the
connective tissue, including
skin, bone, ligaments and
cartilage. In addition, human
beings possess a natural
temperature differential from
the core to the extremities.
In physics, the Seebeck effect
describes a phenomena in which
when a system consists of two
metals (such as Iron and
Copper), with one metal at a
higher temperature than the
other, a current flows in the
system. The Thomson
thermoelectric effect is the
designation of the potential
gradient along a conductor which
accompanies a temperature
gradient. The thermomagnetic
phenomena arises in that the
thermoelectric and
thermomagnetic power is measured
by the electromotive force
produced by the unit difference
of temperature, in this case the
temperature differential from
the core to the extremities. In
short, all of the conditions
necessary for human beings to
produce thermomagnetic fields
and electron flow are present in
humans.
The LifeWave™ technology is a
passive device, constructed in a
new and proprietary
process-construction of safe and
beneficial orthomolecular
organic compounds for the
purpose of improving human
performance through the
interaction of the device with
the human thermomagnetic field,
with it being believed by
LifeWave™ that said interaction
of the LifeWave™ device with the
individual induces an electron
flow in the individual. This
interaction is not unlike the
effect that occurs in an
electrical generator in which
electricity is produced from
moving magnets or magnetic
fields. In humans, the increase
in electron flow has numerous
demonstrable benefits such as an
immediate and measurable
increase in physical strength,
and improved stamina.
Magnetic and
Thermomagnetic Fields:
Thermomagnetic fields arise as a
result of dissimilar materials
forming junctions along a
temperature gradient. The
thermoelectric effect has been
known for well over 150 years,
and was first discovered by
Michael Faraday. In humans, Iron
containing hemoglobin forms
microscopic and macroscopic
junctions with copper containing
collagen, with these junctions
occurring along a temperature
gradient that initiates at the
core with a corresponding
temperature drop at the
extremities.
Traditional magnetic fields (H)
are defined as the region
surrounding a moving charge,
such as when electrons move
through a conductor. These
conditions also exist within
humans, however the focus of
this discussion pertains to
thermomagnetics. Furthermore,
materials such as Iron that are
capable of being magnetized
permanently are defined as being
ferromagnetic (results from
parallel alignment of
neighboring magnetic dipoles)
and materials such as Copper are
defined as being diamagnetic
(nonpermanent magnetism where
the magnetic susceptibility is
negative; diamagnetism is
expressed vividly in
superconductivity).
Thermomagnetic fields, however,
are distinguished from both
ferromagnetic phenomena and
diamagnetic behavior in that the
thermomagnetic field produced is
not the result of alignment of
magnetic dipoles but rather the
result of a thermally induced
condition of electron charges
moving through a conductor.
As a case in point, if we were
to take a bar of Copper and
maintain a temperature gradient
from one end to the other, if
the hot side was high enough a
thermal increase in kinetic
energy of the outer orbit
electrons would occur and allow
the electrons to discharge into
space. In practice, due to the
electrical conductivity of
Copper, the electrons shift in
tremendous quantity to the cool
side of the Copper bar with the
heat propagation velocity.
Excited electrons on the cool
side will now travel toward the
hot side encircling the Copper
bar by gyroscopic phenomena. The
result is low voltage (millivolts)
at high current.
In experiments performed that
were designed to produce very
large thermomagnetic fields
(10000 Gauss), conditions have
been achieved in which the EMF
of a ring containing Iron and
Copper junctions (at a thermal
gradient) traveled in linear
velocity equal to the heat
propagation, with the resulting
kinetic energy in the orbital
electron spinning being so great
that electron shells travel on
the same orbital plane. As a
result, portions of the atom
proton energy are exposed to the
center of the ring. It is quite
obvious that this thermomagnetic
phenomena is unique and easily
distinguishable from traditional
ferromagnetic and diamagenetic
behavior.
Thermomagnetic
Devices:
Schroeder has performed work in
artificially produced
thermomagnetic fields which have
found practical application in
the direct conversion of waste
heat to magnetism. In these
devices, a low voltage
generating unit is formed by
alternate segments of dissimilar
metals arranged in the form of
helix formed into a loop or
torus, with heating and cooling
of alternate junctions causing a
low voltage but high current
flow, current flow being
dependent upon temperature
differential between alternate
junctions, junction area, and
size of the unit. The voltage
generated by heating and cooling
junctions of dissimilar metals
is less than one volt but with
properly shaped dissimilar metal
segments arranged in a torus
fashion with alternate junctions
heated and cooled there is a
large current flow.
In humans, the properties of the
thermomagnetic field are similar
to those replicated in the
device as sited above, namely
low voltage and high current
power conditions. This is
consistent with the
physiological parameters of
human microbiology in that the
cell potential is between 45mV
and 70mV. As such, any
thermomagnetic field produced by
a human being, and hence any
induced electron flow that would
result from this field, would be
completely compatible with the
existing cell potential found in
humans.
Strength - Theory of
Operation:
Users of the LifeWave™ device
and technology have experienced
immediate and demonstrable
increases in physical strength
within minutes after wearing the
LifeWave™ device. This is not a
chemically induced increase in
strength such as would be the
case with anabolic steroids,
etc. but rather a phenomena in
which existing muscle mass is
utilized more efficiently due to
the increase in electron flow.
To understand how this phenomena
could be possible, if we examine
the striated skeletal muscle
system we know that this
voluntary group nerve supply is
under conscious control because
these nerves are branches of the
peripheral cerebrospinal nervous
system (the brain and spinal
cord as the cerebrospinal axis).
The muscle fibers themselves are
tissues composed of contractile
cells that effect movement based
on the excitatory process set up
in nerve fibers by stimuli (the
nerve impulse). It is presently
believed by medical research
that the nerve impulse is
probably in the nature of a wave
of electrochemical disturbances.
The efficiency with which large
muscle groups are contracted can
be defined as the number of
muscle fibers utilized in a
contraction divided by the
number of fibers present in that
muscle group. It is presently
believed that most humans only
contract a small percentage of
muscle fibers in a given group
for a given nerve impulse (low
efficiency of muscle mass usage
as a function of number of
muscle fibers contracted divided
by number of muscle fibers
present; not all motor units
respond to a given stimulus).
If now we were to induce a
condition in which the total
power available for nerve
impulses could be increased so
that more muscle fibers could
contract for a given muscle
group, the net efficiency of the
striated fibers would increase
(more muscle fibers in a group
being contracted in a
contraction phase; more motor
units responding to a stimulus),
and hence usable physical
strength could be improved. It
is believed by LifeWave™
Products, LLC that this is one
possible explanation for the
phenomena associated with users
of the LifeWave™ technology,
namely immediate and
demonstrable increases in
strength and stamina within
minutes of wearing the LifeWave™
technology.
In support of this explanation,
work performed by Mower in the
augmentation of muscle
contractility by biphasic
stimulation lends validity to
this argument. In this work,
Mower sites that enhanced
myocardial function is obtained
through biphasic pacing. The
combination of cathodal with
anodal pulses of either a
stimulating or conditioning
nature, preserves the improved
conduction and contractility of
anodal pacing while eliminating
the drawback of increased
stimulation threshold. The
result is a depolarization wave
of increased propagation speed.
This increased propagation speed
results in superior cardiac
contraction leading to an
improvement in blood flow.
Striated muscle may also be
stimulated electrically,
chemically, mechanically or by
temperature change. Where the
muscle fiber is stimulated by a
motor neuron, the neuron
transmits an impulse that
activates all of the muscle
fibers within its control, that
is, those muscle fibers in its
motor unit. Depolarization in
one region of the membrane
stimulates adjacent regions to
depolarize as well, resulting in
a wave of depolarization
traveling over the membrane in
all directions away from the
site of stimulation. Thus, when
a motor neuron transmits an
impulse, all the muscle fibers
in its motor unit are stimulated
to contract simultaneously.
The minimum strength to elicit a
contraction is called the
threshold stimulus. Once this
level of stimulation has been
met, the generally held belief
is that increasing the level
will not increase the
contraction. Additionally, since
the muscle fibers within each
muscle are organized into motor
units, and each motor unit is
controlled by a single motor
neuron, all of the muscle fibers
in a motor unit are stimulated
at the same time. However, the
whole muscle is controlled by
many different motor units that
respond to different stimulation
thresholds. Thus, when a given
stimulus is applied to a muscle,
some motor units may respond
while others may not.
Therefore, artificial means of
externally applied cathodal and
anodal pulses of his biphasic
stimulation provides improved
and enhanced contraction of
striated muscle.
Similarly, striated muscle
stimulation can also serve to
preserve the neural pathway,
such that, upon healing of the
nerve fibers associated with the
stimulated tissue, patients
"remember" how to contract that
particular muscle.
In short, for a given stimulus
applied to a striated muscle
group, not all motor units will
respond to that stimulus, hence
not all muscle fibers in that
group will contract for a given
stimulus in that contraction
phase. Externally applied
biphasic stimulation has
demonstrated the capability of
augmentation of the contraction
phase for enhanced or improved
contractility. In the LifeWave™
device, the induced electron
flow is created from an external
passive device in a new and
novel way, with the end result
being an improvement in the
contraction phase for a given
muscle group as a result of more
motor units being capable of
responding to a given stimulus.
For additional supportive
documentation, studies performed
and published in the Journal Of
Cardiovascular Electrophysiology
(as one example) reinforce the
above as stated.
In addition to the above, it has
been well known since the 1970's
(Becker) that maintaining a
localized potential in the human
body will have the ability to
draw calcium ions to the sight.
This method has been
successfully utilized by Becker
to improve the rate at which
broken bones heal.
In the LifeWave™ device, an
induced electron flow could have
the same effect in drawing
calcium ions into muscle fibers
for the purpose of improving the
efficiency of muscle mass usage.
It is well known that striated
muscle is activated by motor
nerves under voluntary control
and is concerned with
locomotion. It is composed of
large, long fibers that consist
of multinucleate cells. Within
each fiber are longitudinal
Myofibrils, each with a
distinctive pattern of bands
caused by the distribution of
the proteins Actin and Myosin.
The bands for repeating units
are called sarcomeres. Myofibril
banding patterns during
contraction and relaxation
phases are easily
distinguishable. The contraction
of voluntary muscle is best
understood by the "sliding
filament" theory. First, the
muscle needs stimulation by an
impulse from a motor nerve.
Second, the actin and myosin
filaments make contact to form a
complex called Actomyosin. This
complex can only be formed in
the presence of calcium ions.
Since the muscle fibers are
organized into motor units, and
each motor unit is controlled by
a single motor neuron, all
muscle fibers in a motor unit
are stimulated at the same time.
However, the whole muscle group
is controlled by many different
motor units that respond to
different thresholds. Therefore,
for a given muscle contraction,
not all muscle fibers contract
during the contraction phase
(low efficiency of muscle mass
usage).
The LifeWave™ technology is a
passive device composed of
orthomolecular organic
structures arranged parallel to
the plane of human
thermomagnetic rotation. The
LifeWave™ device initiates an
induced flow of electrons within
the user, much in the same way
that a generator produces
electricity. This action
improves the efficiency of
muscle contraction by recruiting
more calcium ions through
attraction (allows for formation
of actomyosin) and improves the
efficiency of muscle mass usage
(more muscle fibers in a group
contract during the contraction
phase). The end result is that
within minutes of wearing the
LifeWave™ device, the user
becomes physically stronger.
Stamina -
Theory of Operation:
Users of the LifeWave™ device
and technology have experienced
immediate and demonstrable
increases in physical stamina
within minutes after wearing the
LifeWave™ device. Actual results
obtained from users have been as
low as 8% improvements to as
high as 400% improvements. The
passive thermomagnetic frequency
modulation of the LifeWave™
technology creates a condition
in which the transport of long
chain fatty acids across the
mitochondrial membrane for
subsequent beta-oxidation and
energy production is triggered
or improved, thereby providing
the user with increased energy
and stamina.
To understand how this phenomena
could be possible, let us
examine the metabolic process
involving primary energy sources
within the human body. For the
purpose of this discussion, we
shall focus on fatty acids, a
hydrocarbon in which one of the
hydrogen atoms has been replaced
by a carboxyl group, also
described as a monobasic
aliphatic acid made up of an
alkyl radical attached to a
carboxyl group.
Essential fatty acids - those
that have been determined to be
essential to maintain health and
can not be synthesized by the
human body - are by example the
unsaturated fatty acids such as
linoleic, linolenic and
arachidonic.
The metabolic role of fatty
acids may be described in part
in that fatty acids are one of
the primary sources of energy
for humans, and through
Beta-Oxidation, are broken down
into basic units of energy. Of
interest here is that in order
for this process to work, fatty
acids need to enter the
mitochondria for Beta-Oxidation,
and they are unable to penetrate
the inner mitochondrial membrane
by themselves.
In addition to lipid metabolism,
the mitochondria is involved
with protein synthesis, and by
using either phase-contrast
microscopy or electron
microscopy, the mitochondrial
filaments or rods are seen to be
0.5 micrometers in diameter.
This information is significant
in that in the LifeWave™
technology, materials and
structures must be selected
based upon the resonant and
sympathetic frequencies of the
mitochondria during both protein
synthesis and lipid metabolism,
while not interfering with the
other primary objective of the
technology, namely assisting in
the recruitment of calcium ions
to muscle fiber sites (for
formation of actomyosin).
In the human body, to overcome
the problem of the inability of
fatty acids to transport from
the cytosol (soluble portion of
the cell) across the
mitochondrial membrane, it has
been determined by several
researchers that various
nutrients are essential to
transport long chain fatty acids
from the cytosol across the
mitochondrial membrane for fatty
acid oxidation/metabolism and
energy production.
However, other methods - other
than the use of nutrients - of
assisting the fatty acids across
the mitochondrial membrane are
possible. In experiments
performed by the author, a
method was discovered that
involved an active energy source
that is capable of both
improving or increasing cell
motility and cell metabolic
rate. In this method, a function
generator was utilized as a
waveform source and
multi-frequency input to a radio
transmission unit. The radio
transmitter was used to produce
a high frequency carrier wave,
while the function generator
provided the "primary"
frequencies of study. A linear
amplifier was used to increase
the transmitters output to about
300 watts, and the "antenna" in
this system, which is used for
transmitting the signal, is a
high impedance plasma-producing
receptacle.
In operation, an in vitro
analysis was performed in which
various modulation frequencies
were studied for there effects
on cell motility and
mitochondrial metabolic rate. In
summary, it was discovered that
by using this equipment in
vitro, both cell motility and
mitochondrial metabolic rate
could be actively altered
(either decreased or increased)
with specific modulation
frequencies (frequencies
dependent upon type of cell
being investigated, material
being metabolized, etc.)
To obtain the desirable effect
of improving cell metabolism
passively (specifically,
increasing the rate of fatty
acid Beta-Oxidation by allowing
fatty acids to transport across
the mitochondrial membrane) the
author constructed a LifeWave™
device consisting of
orthomolecular organic
structures designed to passively
interact with the human
thermomagnetic field for the
purpose of creating a system of
thermomagnetic frequency
modulation.
In the experiment described
above, the desired effect
(increased cell metabolic rate)
was accomplished actively by
coupling the desired frequency
to a high energy plasma source.
In the LifeWave™ device, the
desired frequency is obtained
passively through material
selection, material arrangement
and material processing, with
the device coupling to the human
body by passive modulation of
the human thermomagnetic field.
The end result is that what has
been observed by LifeWave™ users
is dramatic improvements in
stamina and energy levels within
minutes of product use.
As an example, in tests
performed, users were asked to
perform an exercise such as
push-ups, Bench Press, Curl,
etc. for 1 set and perform as
many repetitions as possible. In
all cases users were able to
perform more repetitions when
using LifeWave™ than without. A
representative example would be
one user who performed a Barbell
Curl with 100 lbs. for 3
repetitions without LifeWave™;
the LifeWave™ patches were
applied and worn for 1 minute,
and then the user was able to
perform 9 repetitions with the
same 100 lbs.
Results
Obtained:
A group of over 50 individuals
was selected from a broad cross
section of the general
population. Each individual
volunteered to participate in a
series of tests designed for the
purpose of collecting initial
preliminary data of the
effectiveness of the LifeWave™
technology. (These tests are
separate from independent lab
tests). Some of the information
desired from these tests
included change in strength and
stamina. As an initial
indicator, a simple strength
resistance test was administered
to each individual by way of
conventional physical therapy
protocols eg. adduction of
either arm. In every case, every
individual demonstrated an
improvement in strength while
wearing the LifeWave™ device.
In more quantitative studies,
users were asked to perform
tests using both hand
dynamometers and free weights.
As representative examples, one
individual produced a nominal
hand pressure of 140 lbs. in the
control test, followed by 160
lbs. of hand pressure while
wearing the LifeWave™ device. A
representative example with free
weights would be an individual
who under control conditions
achieved a bench press of 385
lbs., but after wearing the
LifeWave™ device lifted 415 lbs.
With respect to stamina
improvements, gains of 25% and
better were achieved by
individuals while wearing the
LifeWave™ device as compared
with the control. As a
representative example, an
individual who could bench press
200 lbs. for 8 repetitions
without the LifeWave™ device
could now bench press the same
weight 12 to 16 repetitions
while wearing the LifeWave™
device.
The phenomena as observed is not
unusual or unknown in other
devices; the way in which the
LifeWave™ device has achieved
these results is new and
innovative. For example, in
physical therapy electrical
signals are utilized for the
purpose of forcing voluntary
muscle groups to contract under
stimulation. These devices are
commonly known as electrical or
electronic muscle stimulators
(EMS) and cause stimulated
contraction and relaxation
phases of muscle groups. In the
LifeWave™ device, based on the
mode of operation as presented,
an improvement in net efficiency
of total muscle mass utilized
during a contraction phase may
be achieved due to an increase
in electron flow during the wave
of electrochemical disturbances
created by the nerve impulse
(more motor units responding
during a contraction phase).
In studies that have been
conducted with volunteers from a
broad cross section of the
general population, in each and
every case users experienced an
immediate increase in physical
strength directly attributed to
the LifeWave™ device.
A Real World
Study:
The following third party
independent study was performed
by Joseph A. Goodson MS, ATC,
Head Athletic Trainer at
Morehouse College in Atlanta,
GA. A summary of the test and
results follows.
A group of 40 athletes were
randomly selected to participate
in a LifeWave™ test study.
Athletes were divided into
groups as follows: GROUP (1)
consisted of 10 track and field
athletes, and served as a
control group; GROUP (2)
consisted of 10 track and field
athletes, and served as a test
group for the LifeWave™ patches;
GROUP (3) consisted of 10
football athletes, and served as
a control group; GROUP (4)
consisted of 10 football
athletes, and served as a test
group for the LifeWave™ patches.
All athletes in all groups were
first required to participate in
a base line study, with said
study to be used as a reference
for comparison. The base line
data was collected during the
first week of the study for all
athletes. The control and test
studies were performed the
following week for all groups.
For the track and field
athletes, the tests performed
consisted of 90 minute sprint
sessions. Each athlete was
monitored for any potential
adverse reaction such as
abnormal change in heart rate,
etc. during these tests. At the
end of the tests, the athletes
were asked to complete a
questionnaire, and report -
subjectively - how they felt
during the sprint session and
after the sprint session.
Information of interest included
how well the athlete was able to
recover between sprints, any
muscle cramping during or after
sprints, soreness, and overall
feelings of energy after the
sessions were completed.
For the football athletes, the
tests performed consisted of 60
minute weight lifting sessions.
Each athlete was monitored for
any potential adverse reaction
such as abnormal change in heart
rate, etc. during these tests.
The athletes performed weight
lifting routines designed by the
strength coaches, and 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.
In GROUP (1), the control group
for the track and field
athletes, there was no change
noted in the athletes
performance during the duration
of the two week study. After
each 90 minute sprint session,
these athletes reported feeling
tired, with most athletes
experiencing muscle soreness
after the sessions were
completed.
In GROUP (2) the test group for
the track and field athletes
that used the LifeWave™ patches,
there was a significant
difference in the athletes
performance from the base line
study to the test study. While
using the LifeWave™ patches, all
athletes (10/10) reported having
more energy while sprinting, and
recovering more quickly between
sprints. In addition, the
LifeWave™ users reported feeling
energetic at the end of the
sprint session, with little or
no muscle cramping, and no
soreness.
In GROUP (3), the control group
for the football athletes, there
was no change noted in the
athletes performance during the
duration of the two week study.
After each 60 minute weight
lifting session, these athletes
reported feeling fatigued and
sore.
In GROUP (4), the test group for
the football athletes that used
the LifeWave™ patches, there was
a significant difference in the
athletes performance from the
base line study to the test
study. While using the LifeWave™
patches, all athletes reported
having more energy while weight
lifting, as well as significant
improvements in the amount of
weight that they were able to
lift. Some representative
examples would include: Athlete
# 1 performed Dumbell Flys with
65 lb. dumbells in the base line
study for 3 sets of 8 reps, but
when using the LifeWave™ patches
performed Dumbell Flys with 80
lb. dumbells for 3 sets of 8
reps. Athlete # 2 performed a
Bench Press with 185 lbs. in the
base line study for 3 sets of 8
reps, but when using the
LifeWave™ patches performed a
Bench Press with 225 lbs. for 3
sets of 8 reps. Athlete # 3
performed a Lat Pulldown with 90
lbs. in the base line study for
3 sets of 8 reps, but when using
the LifeWave™ patches performed
a Lat Pulldown with 180 lbs. for
3 sets of 8 reps.
Application:
In general, the LifeWave™ device
may be applied virtually
anywhere on the human body for
the purpose of promoting a
beneficial response. However, as
an interesting note, the most
effective locations appear to
coincide with points as
described in the system of
acupuncture. Because acupuncture
points typically coincide with
locations of high
electropotential - as discovered
by Walter Rawls - this
correlation is not surprising.
For example, in all of the tests
administered as cited, the
LifeWave™ device was placed
along the midline of the
epigastric region in the
depression located in the center
of the chest. In acupuncture,
this point is referred to "Shanzhong",
and is described as being
located along the Ren channel on
the anterior midline, at the
level of the fourth intercostal
space. Additionally, a second
point of interest for the
placement of the LifeWave™
device would include the midline
of the umbilical region; "Zhongji",
4 cun below the umbilicus, and
the crossing point of the Ren
channel.
If the two patch system is
utilized (white patch and tan
patch), then the white patch is
applied to the right forearm,
and the tan patch is applied to
the left forearm. It has been
observed that in most
individuals the LifeWave™ effect
is more dramatic and pronounced
with the two patch system as
opposed to using only one patch
(white only). This may be
understood in terms of total
surface area of exposure, as
well as electron flow in one
localized region as opposed to
electron flow between two
distant sites.
A Simple Test:
For individuals who are new to
LifeWave™, there are numerous
simple and quick tests that may
be performed to demonstrate to
the user the validity of the
LifeWave™ technology. As one
example, an individual would
first perform an exercise such
as push-ups for as many
repetitions as possible (one set
only; perform to failure). The
user would then apply the
LifeWave™ patches, wait a few
minutes (or to recovery), and
then perform the push-ups for as
many repetitions as possible
(one set only; to failure). What
most individuals will find is
that when wearing the LifeWave™
patches it is possible to
perform more push-ups than
without LifeWave™. In fact, it
is typical for users to exceed
25% improvements with this
simple test.
Clinical
Studies:
All materials used in the
LifeWave™ patches have been
clinically tested for safety and
efficacy. Double Blind placebo
controlled studies have been
performed for the purpose of
determining the effectiveness of
these ingredients on athletic
performance, namely strength and
stamina improvements. In tests
performed by LifeWave™, over 99%
of users experienced
improvements in strength and/or
stamina within minutes of using
the product. In addition, most
individuals who used LifeWave™
who suffered from some type of
muscular ache or discomfort
found relief within a period of
from 2 minutes to 30 minutes.
Further, all materials used in
LifeWave™ products are listed
under FDA 21 CFR, and
manufactured at FDA registered
facilities.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, based on the
observed and reported beneficial
effects that hundreds of users
of the LifeWave™ devices have
relayed to us, it is clear that
a legitimate, beneficial and
efficacious physiological
augmentation of the motor unit
response and voluntary muscular
system is taking place, with the
mode of operation of the
LifeWave™ device being a new and
valuable phenomena. As more data
is collected by both LifeWave™
Products, LLC and third party
laboratories, further insight
into this augmentation phase
will be achieved. LifeWave™
Products, LLC is dedicated to
bringing the consumer only safe
and valuable technologies that
promote strength, stamina and
wellness. Due to the LifeWave™
phenomena, the professional
athlete, or any individual who
desires increased strength or
stamina may achieve these
results within minutes of
wearing the LifeWave™ device
technology.
About The
Inventor:
While conducting undergrad and
masters studies at Pace
University during the 1980's,
Mr. Schmidt received a grant
from a private corporation in
New Jersey for the purpose of
investigating new and
alternative therapies for
immunogenic and non-immunogenic
neuroblastomas. This work was
performed in conjunction with
the support of the Children’s
Hospital Of Philadelphia, and
resulted in the discovery of a
new method for selectively
targeting C1300 and TBJ cancer
cells without harming the host’s
cells.
Over the past 15 years, Mr.
Schmidt has been a true
innovator in the field of
research and development. He has
been credited with inventing
such numerous intellectual
properties as a biomimetic
battery, organic plastic, novel
ultrasonic probe designs, and
new fuel cell anodes amongst
others. He has not only
developed new and patent pending
methods for the production of
Hydrogen gas on demand from
water, but has also made
contributions to the integration
of these systems with multi-fuel
combustion chambers and
bladeless turbine engines.
In addition, Mr. Schmidt is
responsible for pioneering work
conducted on behalf of the Navy
for new methods of Oxygen
generation. As a result of his
innovations, he was invited to
be part of the design team for
the Navy’s next generation
submarine.
Amongst his awards, Mr. Schmidt
has earned an honorary doctorate
degree from the International
Hall Of Fame for accomplishments
in both genetics and metallurgy;
he is also a former Board Of
Directors member for NuPro
Innovations, Inc., a publicly
traded firm engaged in the sale
of a proprietary metaphoric
polymer.
At this time, Mr. Schmidt serves
as President of LifeWave™
Products, LLC. He is the
principal investigator and
inventor of the LifeWave™
technology.
