THE THREE PILLARS OF BIOPTRON COLOUR THERAPY

LIGHT AND COLOR

Light Carries Life
Light is warmth, it is the brightness of a sunny day chasing away the darkness of the night, it is brilliance as opposed to dullest black.. For thousands of years and in numerous religions and cultures, light has been symbolizing goodness, sublimity, purity, spirituality and divinity, whereas dark has always equaled evil itself. By instinct, people always knew that sunlight was of vital importance for their health and well-being. But in spite of traditional knowledge and modern research, light has remained a largely unknown phenomenon to this very day. As long as they are traveling through space, the suns rays - even though they turn our night into day - are invisible to the human eye. Not until they hit matter such as a body, a star, or a planet do they take on the bright appearance we call light, making us see the life-giving force within them..

The Color Spectrum of Visible Light

Colors are created by the visible portion of light, or rather wavelengths ranging between 760.8 nm (red) and 393.4 nm (purple). Thus, each color represents a specific wavelength. As is shown in figure 3 on page 31, only a very small part of the whole radiation spectrum is visible. However, though we may not be aware of it, this small part is crucial for our existence. There is no life without light and color! When sunlight, which is basically white, hits a wall made of falling raindrops, it is broken up and reflected, creating a rainbow. Scientifically speaking, sunlight is refracted into the six spectral colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. This process is easily imitated using a prism: filtering white light through a prism makes the six spectral colors appear just like sunshine in the rain.

Conversely, mixing two opposite light colors, such as red and green, creates white light. In other words, the two colors combined comprise the whole color spectrum. Red is one of the three primary colors, while green is a complementary color. The close relationship between these two kinds of colors is visualized in the opposite color circle diagram.

Light Sense and Color Vision

In the 18th century, the German poet Goethe demonstrated that, using the three primary colors red, yellow, and blue, it is possible to mix any hue you might desire. The human eye does the same thing using three kinds of retinal cone cells. When light waves hit the eye, they are refracted, while the light incidence is controlled by the iris, the eyes lens stop. Activated in varying intensities, color-sensitive retinal cone cells, each kind specializing in either red, yellow-green, or blue, generate all those myriads of shades that keep our sensory perceptions so vivid and, well, colorful...

Colors Touch Body and Soul

Vision itself is governed by the optical part of the visual pathway, whereas rhythmic processes such as the sleeping-waking cycle are controlled by the energetic part of the visual pathway. Light stimuli received by the pituitary gland are transmitted to the vegetative nervous system, where they trigger either stimulating or restraining commands to the bodys metabolism, hormonal system, and blood formation. Light quality is of essential importance for the hormonal system. Experimental and clinical studies, like the ones conducted by Dr. John Ott or Fritz Hollwich, prove it: The further an artificial light source differs from the light spectrum of the sun, the less favorable its influence is on the hormonal balance. Hence, people feel better when their working spaces and homes are lighted by a spectrum as similar as possible to daylight, as imitated natural light causes less fatigue and mental stress.

The Therapeutic Effect of Colors

The wholesome effect of colors has been known for many centuries. Various ancient cultures in Egypt, India, and China, to name but a few, have applied color therapy. Nowadays, color therapy occupies a prominent position among alternative medical treatments, which would be unthinkable without it. There is also a wide variety of books available to readers interested in the subject, a selection of which is listed at the end of this manual under Further Reading. Overall, the effects colors have may be described as follows:

The Three Primary Colors Red

activates, vitalizes, dynamizes, intensifies, releases energy blocked deep within the system, gives a new boost to processes that have been stagnating, sluggish and reduced, strengthens the senses. Its effects make red the counterpole of blue.

Blue
soothes, inhibits, focuses, cools down, collects and structures energy, re-regulates hyperactive, inflammatory, and derailing processes, brings serenity and clarity. Its effects make blue the counterpole of red.

Yellow
fortifies, tones, opens, brightens, stimulates without exciting, extends energy, reinforces weak processes, loosens overly rigid structures, strengthens the nerves. Its effects place yellow between red and blue.

10

The Three Complementary Colors Green

equalizes, relaxes, calms down, keeps physical and mental energy dynamically balanced, releases tensed-up, painful processes, brings profound serenity. Its effects are a blend of blue and yellow.

Orange
restores, animates, warms, stimulates, works more gently than red, building up energy step by step, unlocks deadlocked processes, cheers up. Its effects are a blend of red and yellow.

Purple
inspires, attenuates, reduces, transforms energy on a high level, supports mental processes, relaxes the nerves, soothes nervous irritations, relieves pain. Its effects are a blend of blue and red.

11

The Colors of Bioptron Colour Therapy

Bioptron Colour Therapy applies all six spectral colors, i.e., red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. They are generated using handmade bioinformed color glass filters. None of the 12 Treatment Schedules uses only one color. It is invariably a certain succession of colors that makes it possible to deblock energy flows, bringing about a thorough elimination of the disorder(s) in question. Selection and order of the color glass filters are determined by the patients initial condition.

A Case In Point
Very nervous, hyperactive people often suffer from a lack of energy rather than as one might think a surplus. It is this lack of energy that causes them to be restless and burdened with a low breaking-point. Unaware of this energy-depleted background, they choose blue for their treatment color, assuming they need calming down rather than stimula tion. And the result? Disappointment, as their nervousness increases instead of disappearing. So what went wrong? 1. Due to a mistaken assessment of their initial condition, their energy status was not properly diagnosed. 2. Consequently, their already weakened energy potential was further reduced by the color blue. So what would have been the right thing to do? They should have been treated with yellow, orange, and red to invigorate and stimulate their organisms! Only these colors will provide them with the relaxing, soothing adjustment they need. Conclusion: In order to offset an imbalance, patients need to be treated with the opposite of whats causing the strain. It is almost like driving a car: After taking a turn, you have to apply opposite lock to go straight again...

BIOINFORMATION THE NEW DIMENSION

q q q

bios is Greek for life. Information stands for message. Hence, bioinformation means living messages!

New technologies such as Kirlian photography, invented in 1939 by Russian researchers Semyon and Valentina Kirlian and since then advanced by various scientists, allow us to visualize the bioelectric energy of living beings by applying a high-frequency electric field and recording the luminescence thus generated on film. It is obvious that all living beings are an integral part of the biosphere, and yet they also function as independent organisms. So far, scientists in Russia, the United States, and Europe are still studying the whys and hows of interactive energetic processes in such a complex system.

When Rumanian researcher Ioan Dumitrescu discovered electronogra phy, it became possible to show one of Natures ordering principles, the socalled window effect. If, for example, you cut a little hole into a leaf, an inte resting phenomenon appears: An elec tronograph of the leafs missing section shows a radiation pattern that is almost identical with the original leaf structure.

Our Existence Is Based On Matter and Information

According to modern physics, matter is composed of minuscule particles that, due to their double nature, also act like electromagnetic waves, depending on how you look at them. Consequently, everything that exists may also be described as information stored in the form of waves spreading within fields. This covers both material things like a piece of metal or the human body, and immaterial things like the scent of a flower or a fantastic thought. The thought model defining matter as consisting of increasingly small particles has reached a point where further material diminution is just not admissible. From this point onwards, matter is dominated and controlled by invisible, immaterial fields. The human organism is surrounded and pervaded by such an immaterial bioelectric field allowing it to exchange vital information bioinformation! with its environment.

Like Lock and Key

Bioinformation cannot be efficient unless it fits the organism like a key fits into a lock. Which is why we do not simply need a lot of energy, but precisely-structured energy patterns that resonate in perfect unison with each individual organism. Luckily, however, even though each living being taps its environment for energy, this information mining does not result in the same kind of destructive exploitation that takes place on a material level. Thus human beings, too, possess an almost unimaginably complex system for information storage and management. All around us, there is

14

an enormous array of manifold frequency spectra offering a rich supply of bioinformation, and both sides are constantly exchanging energy. In the end, the quality of this energy exchange determines the state of our health. If the human body does not get the vital bioinformation it needs to maintain its structures in order, or if this order is disturbed by disinformation, we get sick. On the other hand, if we receive the right kind of bioinformation we stay or get healthy.

Bioinformation Captures Nature

Using biophysical methods and devices, the Zurich-based Institute for Bioinformation has been developing highly structured regenerative information patterns for years. These patterns are obtained from plants, precious stones, metals, minerals, trace elements as well as inert gases, fermenting substances, etc. After being modulated onto suitable carriers, they specifically address the bodys self-healing powers.

Bioinformation Integrating Light, Colors and Essences

Both the six color glass filters and the three products of Bioptron Colour Therapy have been equipped with specific bioinformation messages. These subtly harmonized oscillations combine with the Bioptron Lamps polarized light to form a gentle resonance bridge to the human energy system. Bioinformation provides the interaction of light, colors and essences with a language the human body understands and is able to respond to.

PLANT ESSENCES AND FRAGRANCES

Remedies Past and Present
Plant extracts and essences have been used to treat people since time immemorial. They have gloriously survived countless new trends in medicine to remain highly topical to this very day. In the distant past, people probably chose their medicinal plants by instinct, carefully observing their effects to gain more and more knowledge and competence handling this precious natural resource. Since then, the effectiveness of medicinal plants has been scientifically proven, making phytotherapy one of the most popular methods in alternative medicine. In the dark ages, certain medicinal plants were used as magic drugs. Wise men and women would try and control supernatural powers by mixing magic potions because they meant to ban the demons of disease that way. Driving these demons and their influence out of the patients bodies would cure them - they hoped. Such practices most certainly sometimes involved poisonous plants, and it is not hard to imagine the consequences...

Bitter Pills Sweet Pills?

It was in ancient Greece that physicians discovered how the curative power of certain plants may turn into deadly poison if overdosed. This insight was actualized by Paracelsus (1493-1541), who said: Tis the dose that maketh a thing not poisonous. This saying is as true today as it was then. Nowadays, however, additional criteria must be considered in assessing the safety and curative power of a medicinal plant. For example, it is very important to know where the plant grew, as the natural conditions present there, including the prevailing ecological circumstances, strongly influence its growth and general development. Was there enough active insect life in the ground? Did somebody use fertilizer or even herbicides? What about the quality of the air surrounding the plant as it grew? Not to mention all the denaturing processes which might have been involved in harvesting the plant. Among other things, the time of harvest is essential. Was the plant cut in the morning or in the eve16

ning? Cosmic constellations, such as the phase of the moon or the position of the planets, also favor or affect the harvest. And then there are the tools and machines that may influence the harvesting in a positive or negative manner. Finally, processing the plant to gain a phytotherapeutic substance and transporting that substance to where it will be used may alter its quality, too. All these factors make one thing clear: It is no longer easily possible to gain essences which are both effective and safe in every way. So we appreciate Natures medicines all the more when we get the chance to use them as they were meant to be used: pure and unharmed.

Active Plant Principles Take On Different Forms

Tinctures, squeezed juices, liquid or pulverized extracts, distillates in alcohol or oils, concentrates, essences, essential oils - all these forms may contain concentrated active principles plants release when exposed to various extraction processes. But there is an additional, more profound action potential hidden within medicinal plants, within their spirit. Addressing that spirit activates the plants curative powers in the form of pure information patterns. Take homeopathy, for example: By using an extremely sensitive and complicated procedure called potentiation, homeopaths manage to extract, above all, the plants spirit, its essence, the information it carries, profiling its curative powers and letting them unfold more mightily than ever before. A similar principle is applied in manufacturing essential oils. Volatile olfactory substances - often referred to as the plants soul - are separated from the solid plant material by distillation. The essential information thus released is then concentrated in what is very appropriately called the essence of the plant.

17

A Harmonious Bouquet of Forces and Fragrances

That is the best way to describe the living action of the three products of Bioptron Colour Therapy: q Light Fluid q Balancing Gel q Crystal Cream The tinctures, extracts and oils they contain stimulate the metabolism, while the natural, precious, and partly very rare fragrant essences appeal to the soul. It is often impossible for us to express why certain fragrances touch us so strongly that they appear to wrap themselves all around us. They seem to enter deep into our emotional world where they exchange their essence with our innermost feelings. They are liable to change our mood in no time at all. To try and describe such moments of sensual perception frequently fails because we cannot find the right words, as if these moments were conjured up by a certain kind of magic which will cease to work as soon as somebody tries to pin it down. Harsh and delicate, fresh and pleasant, precious and exciting the fragrant essences of Bioptron Colour Therapy speak to you in many ways. All the active principles and olfactory substances integrated into these products are of exquisite and pure quality. In addition, the fragrant essences have been enriched with bioinformation, so their volatile portion finds a more differentiated expression, enabling them to harmoniously touch your own personal energy field.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE STARTING BIOPTRON COLOUR THERAPY

19

THE HUMAN BEING IS A WHOLE

A Wonderfully Functional Network
Isnt it amazing that, no matter whether we are awake or asleep, we always experience ourselves, and quite matter-of-factly at that, as one whole? As one entity that has no trouble at all to keep its organs, senses, emotions, and thoughts working together within a perfectly functioning multifarious system? The human being must be a rather sophisticated and precious machine to have body, soul, and mind pervading each other to such a holistic degree!

Vital Consciousness A Result

As long as we think we are whole, we do not perceive all our many parts as separate. We do not realize that billions of cells inside us continuously communicate with each other. We are not aware of our organs, do not sense that our brain is sending nerve stimuli to every single region of our body, do not feel the enormous effort our heart has to make to keep us alive. We are simply permeated by the overall feeling we call vital consciousness, and that is more (much more!) than the sum of all parts.

Until everything goes haywire

It is not until one of these many parts is harmed, disharmonizing the whole, that this vital consciousness is disturbed, and everything goes haywire.. For example: q Cutting a finger can shake us up. It hurts. Then it starts to bleed. The injured finger increasingly affects our overall feeling, until we are nothing more than this one aching finger! Since the finger and its injury are not perceived separately, it becomes exceedingly dominant. As the finger takes over the whole, we are aggressed as a whole, feeling suddenly blocked, shocked, sad or angry, shaky and weak. And all of this (nota bene!) just because one little fin ger is hurt... This simple example clearly illustrates how tightly and intensely everything within us is connected, how intricately and finely all parts are intertwined. We may not always be conscious of it, but the human being is a whole.

20

Making the Whole Visible

Using sophisticated electron microscopes, a new branch of science called psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) has been able to show that the impact of emotional states such as fear, frustration and stress as well as happiness and joy of living reaches deep within every cell of the human body. Thus, whether a persons power of resistance is reinforced or weakened not only depends on viruses and bacteria, but also on psychological occurrences. A negative attitude as a result of chronic stress, resignation and other depressive moods is liable to erode the immune system, making the organism vulnerable to outside influences. Conversely, a well-balanced state of mind substantially contributes to maintaining vital functions, which makes it the ultimate preventive measure.

Compensation and Protection Capabilities of the Whole

Being a whole essentially serves two purposes: self-preservation and survival. In order to do this, human beings have an intricately well-organized protective system. For extended periods of time, this protective system is able to head off disturbances by skillfully spreading them over the huge network of the whole. Strains are shifted in such a way as to compensate for impaired functions by tapping other, intact functions. This does not normally overstrain the healthy function; on the contrary, it becomes stronger, even able to increase its potential an unparalleled phenomenon! Blind people demonstrate this amazing capability in a very impressive manner, offsetting their lack of eyesight by developing other senses to stupendous levels. Their organs of touch and hearing deliver top performances a seeing person could never accomplish. In general, however, compensation proceeds so smoothly and fast that nobody becomes aware of it. Hence, the protective system fulfills its purpose unnoticed, activating unsuspected resources time and again. This way, the whole gets the chance to function without disturbances and stay healthy.

When Does the Whole Need Help?

Not until increasingly more and serious difficulties affect the whole will it be in danger of being harmed. Under such circumstances, the protective system produces life-saving alarm signals we call symptoms. If people pay no attention to such signals, they are bound to encourage degenerative processes which then trigger one symptom after another. More and more ailments and disorders appear till, finally, they turn into the condition called illness. At that stage, the person concerned absolutely needs medical examination and help. The earlier symptoms are recognized, the more potent are the regenerative powers available. Initially, the whole is still able to mobilize enough energy reserves to

21

completely rebuild its organic and mental capacities. Thus, early symptoms might be called the guardians of our health. Considering the human being as a whole, lightheartedly taking aggressive chemical medication to suppress symptoms is absurd.

Early symptoms are health guardians

22

THE HOLISTIC CONCEPT OF BIOPTRON COLOUR THERAPY

Holistic means...
covering the whole and acting on the whole. A holistic therapy is expected to have a positive effect on the whole. Instead of simply eliminating individual trouble spots, it has to integrate every single function into the regulatory process. Human beings possess a highly intelligent control system which is able to regulate itself by way of hierarchically organized control levels. For centuries, various cultures have striven to understand this complex living system, unveiling different relationships in the process: Ancient China developed the image of yin and yang, the principle of feminine passivity versus masculine activity pervading everything and everybody with the energy of life. In the case of human beings, this elementary power potential is channeled along meridians running through the whole body to every single organ. The Indians saw things a little differently. According to them, the cosmic worlds are connected to human beings by way of superordinate energy centers, the seven chakras. Starting at these power transfer points, the so-called nadis spread out like many thousands of meandering branches to supply the whole with energy. This centurys new materialistic conception of life came up with a view based on science. Researchers attempted to explain energetic processes from a technical angle. In Russia, the United States and Great Britain, they managed to visualize the very faintest of energy levels. So far, modern science has shown human beings to be surrounded and pervaded by a bioelectric, ultraweak luminescent field that is used to exchange information at the speed of light. This bioelectric field occupies the top position within the hierarchy. Like corporate management, it is able to communicate with the whole organization, coordinating it and ordering regulatory processes if needed. It is here that both organic and mental processes are being controlled in a truly holistic manner.

23

Picture this example: q A cruise ship caught in a storm. Imagine a cruise ship carrying a thousand passengers in the middle of the ocean, braving a violent storm. Luckily, the captain of a modern ship can rely both on state-of-the-art instruments and a well-trained crew. The gale and storm warning is transmitted by radio hours ahead, so the admirably well-organized crew is ready. Every crew member has manned his or her post, waiting to execute the captains orders on the spot. Any problem is immediately reported back to the captain. Thanks to clear-cut instructions, passengers threatened by water leaking through the hull can instantly be led out of the danger zone. By way of perfectly functioning loudspeakers, the captain may speak to the pas sengers at any time. His life-saving commands are directly heard and carried out by everybody. At any moment of this crisis, the captain stays in complete control of the situation. Hence, the ship and her passengers have every chance to live through the storm unharmed. In this example, radio and loudspeaker technology as well as the professional and alert crew symbolize the bodys control level, its communication center which is constantly supplying the whole with the regulatory information it needs. Supported by his crew, the captain is able to safely steer the ship through the storm. But what would happen without modern communication technology? Maybe the crew, executing the captains orders, would race around on all five decks at once, trying to get the passengers to put on their life jackets in time. Other life-saving steps that should be taken simultaneously, such as changing course or lowering the lifeboats, would be impeded by this line of action. Which, of course, would put the passengers in mortal danger.

Your corporate management must be functional.

Since Bioptron Colour Therapy aims at maintaining or restoring the corporate managements optimum functionality, mainly basing its regulatory approach on the control level, it may rightfully be called holistic. Its rectifying impulses race straight from top to bottom to supply the whole control hierarchy with the regenerative information it needs under the circumstances.

24

The Five Focal Points of Bioptron Colour Therapy: Communicating With the Whole
q Energy Reserves q Power of Resistance q Inner Well-Being q Metabolism q Skin and Body Tissues All these Focal Points evoke familiar experiences for everybody. Our everyday pleasures and worries revolve in and around these five areas, making them an appropriate and convenient first step on the way to self-therapy. After all, regenerating the whole does not start somewhere far out in the realm of the inconceivable but right here where we sense and experience ourselves. We perceive the five Focal Points as both dynamic and matter-of-fact quantities which are tightly intertwined, one implying the other. When we assess ourselves, the words we choose confirm that we experience them in a rock-bottom, elementary way: Focal Point I feel all limp. My health is so delicate. Im stressedout. Im always constipated My skin looks bad. Energy Reserves Power of Resistance Inner Well-Being Metabolism Skin and Body Tissues

Environmental strains and disorders resulting from an impaired quality of life can largely be eliminated by applying one of the 12 Treatment Schedules of Bioptron Colour Therapy. You will be able to re-harmonize your energy dynamics by simultaneously addressing several regulatory agents within the control hierarchy, i.e., energy centers (chakras), energy lines and points (meridians), as well as reflex zones and organ zones.

THE ELEMENTS

27

CONGENIAL CONCURRING OF ALL ELEMENTS

q polarized light produced by the Bioptron Lamp q six color glass filters q three products Nothing can touch us and revive us the way a well-played concert can. And yet, if the orchestra and the soloist are not completely in harmony, even a world-famous piece of music cannot give us what we hoped for: unadulterated joy of listening to nourish and soothe the soul. What is it that makes us go home with such a feeling of perfection and harmony? Everything has to tally! The conductor, the singers, the musicians, the instruments - they all actively contribute to creating a common sound until that sound reaches its optimum form, surrounding and pervading the audience. Such well-harmonized vibrations are able to generate a positive resonance among the audience, giving them good vibrations in return. The rules of harmony are not restricted to music. In geometry, for example, they manifest themselves in the famous golden section of the ancient Greeks and Romans, magic proportions creating overwhelming spatial effects in temples and more mundane buildings alike. Moreover, the rules of harmony are also principles of resonance. They set ones mood and mind vibrating, generating a positive attitude. Vibrations emitted by one system are always equipped with a certain quality of energy, generating the same energy potential within another system. The message reaches its destination based on the principles of resonance. Whenever two or more systems communicate, the rules of harmony and resonance are of fundamental importance. They build an invisible bridge that allows the systems to exchange information, thus enabling them to reach an understanding they could not establish otherwise. The rules of harmony and resonance are an essential part of Bioptron Colour Therapy. In accordance with those rules, the Therapys elements, like the members of an orchestra, play together as one, mutually consolidating their effects. Consequently, the efficiency of Bioptron Colour Therapy is greater and more differentiated than the sum of the effects of all elements. These facts arouse both our serenity and curiosity. May they suffice to make us attend to and enjoy practicing personal health care the way todays world demands it.

POLARIZED LIGHT PRODUCED BY THE BIOPTRON LAMP

Gentle Radiation Maximum Effect
Science has known about the biostimulatory effect of light on cells since the late sixties. Collecting clinical data from the very moment of this discovery, medical and cosmetic studies were able to prove the way polarized incoherent light with a wavelength of 400 to 2000 nm (nanometers) acts on cells and biological processes. Based on these results, Bioptron developed its therapeutic light systems. The following section is a summary of the booklet Bioptron Light Therapy, which describes its remarkable features in much more detail. The Bioptron Method makes it possible to: q act on biological systems in a positive, nonaggressive manner, q purposively support the bodys self-healing powers, q relieve the organism, q start off regenerative processes. Bioptron Light Therapy does more than offer a no-complication addition to other forms of treatment. In fact, it is an ideal complement and enhancement for any treatment. Bioptron Light is optimally suited to transport color spectra and other information spectra to the very depth of body tissues. Among other things, this allows the skin to be nourished with a deep-reaching and sustained supply of cosmetic substances no other beauty treatment can provide. There are virtually no contraindications.

Polarized Light
The human body is composed of billions of tissue and blood cells, most of them measuring about one hundredth of a millimeter in diameter. Body cells were found to contain minuscule organs, the so-called organelles. As far as structure is concerned, a cell can be compared to a house with many rooms, doors, and windows. Each organelle is like a room in which holistic regulatory processes take place to keep the house in good, viable shape. The houses (cells) unite in blocks (tissues), which in turn form a town (the human body). The body of the cell is covered with the exterior cell membrane (plasma membrane). This membrane is an extraordinarily thin, but tough and solid layer of lipid and protein molecules. Biological membranes are highly specific mediators between the inside and the outside, i.e., the cell

29

and its surroundings. They separate individual spheres of action, preventing the constituents of different organelles from mixing freely. Otherwise, chemical control processes could not possibly take their appropriate, well-ordered course. Thus the health of a cell essentially depends on the cell membrane fulfilling its mediating and transmitting function smoothly. Malfunctions, for example, upsetting electrical poles or lipids, inhibit the proper functioning of the membranes enzymes and their receptors which are responsible for the cells energy and food supply. This decreases the activity of the respiratory chain, to name just one. As a result, the cells potential is reduced, and the information stored in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and contained in the nucleus can no longer be released, bringing regenerative processes to a standstill. The Bioptron Lamps polarized light reinitiates these regenerative processes.

Physical Basis of Bioptron Light

Developed over many years of innovative research, the Bioptron Lamp is made in Switzerland, where state-of-the-art production facilities guarantee its advanced technical standard.

Bioptron Light Systems Feature the Following Qualities:

q

Polychromatic

Unlike normal laser light, which is limited to a very narrow bandwidth (monochromatic) and transfers a high amount of energy, Bioptron Light encompasses a wide bandwidth (polychromatic) and transfers little energy (figure 1). q

Polarized

figure 1

The electromagnetic waves of polarized light oscillate in parallel planes only, giving it very special qualities. It is these qualities that Bioptron Light Therapy makes use of. Bioptron Light is polarized by reflection off of a special, proprietary multilayer mirror, reaching a polarization degree of 95%. Polarization by reflection is much more efficient than circu lar polarization (figure 2).

30

figure 2

Incoherent

As opposed to laser light, Bioptron Light is not characterized by temporally or spatially synchronized light wave trains, which means that wave crests and therefore the lights intensity will neither add nor subtract. For this reason, Bioptron Light reaches the area to be treated with constant, steady intensity, making it possible to apply a generally lower degree of energy (intensity). q

Wavelength is of essential importance for the effect of any kind of light. Bioptron Light covers a range of 400 to 2000 nm. In other words, it does not contain ultraviolet rays and only a small part of the infrared spectrum (figure 3). q

No Ultraviolet Rays

The Bioptron Lamps electromagnetic spectrum definitely starts above the UV range. Thus its light does not redden or tan the skin, nor does it represent any danger to the human eye. q

Permeation Effect

The permeation effect is generated by the slightly calorific infrared portion of the Bioptron Light spectrum. Prolonging a treatment session will increase the permeation effect. q

Light Temperature

The light spectrum of the Bioptron Lamp encompasses the lower infrared range only. Hence, it generates a treatment temperature of approx. 37C, i.e., 1C above normal body temperature. q

Innocuous

Bioptron Lamps even though they have been used all over the world for years have never been reported to cause any side effect whatsoever.

31

Practical Application
Keeping a distance of about 5 cm (2 in), point the Bioptron Lamps cone of colored light at the area you want to treat. At a distance of more than 10 cm (4 in) from the body, polarized light has a noticeably weaker effect. A distance of less than 5 cm, while involving no risk whatsoever, makes handling the Lamp awkward. When treating a small area that is completely covered by the light cone, keep the Lamp steady. When treating a large area of your body, move the Lamp slowly to cover it point by point. Hasty movements may cause unrest and interfere with the course of therapy.

SIX COLOR GLASS FILTERS

Colors Touch the Soul and the Senses
Whenever a rainbow flashes its brilliant colors across the sky, it reaches right into our souls. The color spectrum of the rainbow has an almost magic influence on our mood. Stained-glass windows are equally fascinating. The sun shining through the magnificent windows of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris (France), which charge its beams with powerful color spectra, weaving patterns all through the nave, creates a serene mood of meditation and contemplation. For us, such color spaces enclose dimensions of inner ease that put us in a harmonious mood, in tune with the world.

Glassblowing - an Ancient Art

As early as 4000 B.C., the Egyptians knew glass, and the oldest manufacturing instructions for glass were found in the library of the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal (668-626 B.C.). The ancient Romans were the first to use glass windows. Theophilus, a monk living in the 12th century, left us a detailed description of how to build a glass-melting furnace and blow glass. All through the Middle Ages, manufacturing glass was widespread and very popular. While almost every handicraft changes with time, the art of blowing glass has stayed the same since the Middle Ages - maybe because any change would have bereft it of its soul. The variety and the quality of antique glass have improved over the centuries, its characteristics remaining unrivaled by anything produced with modern technologies. To this very day, glassblowers have always been excellent artisans. It takes dexterity and strength to get the viscous, glowing glass out of the red-hot furnace, where the base materials have been heated for hours till they reached a temperature of 1400C. The honey-like mass has to be sized precisely before it is transferred onto the glassblowers pipe to be turned and inflated, cooled and reheated until finally, its size, form and structure are just right. It is a matter of millimeters and seconds, demanding not only great physical strength, but also great sensitivity and poise. If you ever get the chance to watch these masters in action, you will be deeply impressed by their workmanship and the surprisingly pure atmosphere. There has never been a more mystical proof of the purging power of fire, readily reminiscent of the alchemistic origins of glassmaking. The glassblowers of Saint-Just look back upon 800 years of tradition in making colored glass the ancient way which is why it is called antique 33

glass. In the famous Verrerie de Saint-Just in the heart of France, their love for their handicraft and their stunning expertise combine to create unique pieces of colored glass, the kind of which are used to restore the stained-glass windows of the cathedrals in Chartres and Reims (both France) or of old castles and historic monuments. However, it is equally suited to modern pieces of art, such as the stained-glass windows of Chagall, the glass art in the United Nations building in New York City, or the Yammousuko basilica in Japan. The special shine and the unmistakable brilliance of Saint-Just colored glass can be admired all over the world.

Antique Glass Is a Fascinating Material

As the base materials used to produce antique glass quartz sand, soda, and lime are crystalline, they generate a high degree of order, which ensures optimum refraction of light. To create different colors, iron oxide, copper oxide, chromium oxide, sulfur oxide, and other oxide compounds are added to the glass mass. Glassblowing causes the finished product to show characteristic, if very fine marks that irrefutably differentiates it from machine-pulled industrial glass. Antique glass has a shine and softness of its own, standing out for its much more powerful brilliance and its higher transparency.

The Six Blown Color Glass Filters of Bioptron Colour Therapy

After being manufactured with all the skill and care of the ancient masters in the Verrerie Saint-Just, the Bioptron Color Glass Filters are enriched with bioinformation. Finely tuned to the human energy system, these resonance-specific impulses turn the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple filters into highly efficient therapy elements. Thus they are ideally able to communicate with the organism, releasing high regenerative potentials to be used without any health risk at all. What is more, using bioinformed Bioptron Filters will have a liberating effect on your mood, opening up your whole attitude towards life!

The biophysical transfer system used to bioinform the oxides that are blended into the filters antique glass has been exclusively developed for Bioptron AG by the Zrich Institute for Bioinformation.

Practical Application
First, pull off the yellow filter that is factory-mounted to the Lamp. This filter is only used for Bioptron Light Therapy, you do not need it for Colour Therapy. Attach the Color Glass Filter you need to the Lamp without exerting any pressure. Equally gently, remove it after use. Keep the Color Glass Filters as free of dust as possible. Clean them from time to time, using a moistened soft duster. Do not use aggressive detergents, and absolutely do not clean the Color Glass Filters in the dishwasher.

WHAT IF...?

41

WHAT IF...
... the Whole Family Wants to Join In?
Be glad and welcome the initiative, as it is basically possible for people of all ages to treat themselves with Bioptron Colour Therapy. However, in case of an illness, talk to the attending physician first. Children enjoy Bioptron Colour Therapy. It does not hurt at all! There is no risk involved, either, but the duration of treatment should be shortened for small children. Do not exceed the duration indicated in the Treatment Schedules.

... You Are Left-Handed?

Reading the Treatment Schedules, you have probably wondered if the left/right sequence in treating different regions of the body applies to left- and right-handed people alike. Whenever a treatment zone is irradiated on both sides of the body (e.g., the kidneys), the left side always comes first. Why? As the first therapeutic impulse is essentially better absorbed on the left side of the body, treating two zones in parallel must begin on the left, regardless of your dominant hand.

... You Cannot Stick to Your Treatment Schedule For Once?

Little strokes fell big oaks, as the saying goes, and it is just as true for Bioptron Colour Therapy. Only continuous therapeutic impulses will stimulate your power of self-healing enough to gradually raise your energy level, adding on to your basic energy reserves and stabilizing your health. So, obviously, regularly applying a Treatment Schedule will bring the best results. But if something prevents you from doing so for once, just continue on the next day. Your chances for recovery will be just as good. Every Treatment Schedule stipulates an optimum duration of treatment. However, if you would like to go on a little longer, there is no risk involved in doing so. It is up to you to feel which duration is best for you.

42

... A New Problem Appears During Therapy?

You would like to use Bioptron Colour Therapy as an emergency measure against a new problem that has turned up just recently? No problem! For example: You are in the middle of Supporting Your Power of Resistance, a three-week Treatment Schedule, when suddenly: q You are stressed: Choose the Deblocking to Relieve Stress Schedule! q You are under inner strain: Choose the Inner Balance Schedule! q You are about to start an important project: Choose the Vital Spark Schedule! q You have trouble falling asleep before a trip abroad: Choose the A Good Nights Sleep Schedule! Under circumstances such as these, it is possible to complement Supporting Your Power of Resistance, the three-week main Schedule, with the appropriate emergency Schedule once or, if needed, several times. However, it is not recommended to simultaneously apply two Schedules for several weeks. Such a double therapy might put too great a demand on your regulatory capacity and thus bring about a counterproductive result. In this case, less is more!

... You Take Some Time to Improve Your Way of Life?

Certain symptoms are caused by an inherently weak constitution, others by living, eating, or behavioral habits that take great effort and a long time to change. Just one example: You have successfully completed the Lack of Drive Schedule and feel as if relieved from a heavy burden. You breeze through your everyday chores with new momentum. Unfortunately, you fall back into your old habit of extending yourself to the last - and beyond. Which, of course, re-depletes your energy reserves. Now, of course, you could apply the Lack of Drive Schedule again, but first, please verify if another Schedule would not suit you better.

43

... Unexpected Reactions Manifest Themselves?

Like other holistic treatment concepts, Bioptron Colour Therapy may trigger initial aggravation. Do not make the mistake of considering this to be a bad sign, as it is quite the opposite: Such a reaction shows you that formerly inaccessible energy potentials are being tapped to launch regenerative processes that were long overdue. Both body and mind have been called upon to digest old strains. Initial aggravation tends to intensify symptoms that have already been present and typically wears off after 1 to 2 days. In the case of skin blemishes, the reaction usually peaks on the second day of therapy to be slowly displaced by continuous improvement. When symptoms intensify for more than 2 days, it must be assumed that in response to the additional supply of energy, the organism is, at first, flooded by waves of inconsistency until the regulatory process finds its own harmonious rhythm. If this should happen, give your organism more time for digesting any strains and interrupt therapy for at least one day. Provided your discomfort is reduced by this measure, resume therapy.

... You Are In Pain?

Please be wary: pain is a very strong warning signal! Body and soul have suffered a violent impact or are in danger of sustaining lasting damage. In either one of the following cases, you must absolutely see a physician: Whenever the pain q keeps getting worse. q is connected with an illness. q is accompanied by fever and nausea. q is connected with a shock. q causes vertigo. q causes disorientation. q manifests itself after an accident, a fall, or an operation. q sets in after serious burns.

44

... You Are Healthy and Would Like to Stay That Way?
Conscious health care according to the principle of prevention is better than cure is an important and very satisfying responsibility for every body. If your body and soul are well-balanced, you will weather everything with much more ease, be that the next wave of influenza, a cold, or stress situations. The following Schedules relieve and purge your organism, build up your energy potential, and keep your psyche in balance: q Discharging and Purging q Supporting Your Power of Resistance q Lack of Drive q Inner Balance q The Vital Spark
