What is BIE and How Can it Eliminate ALL Symptoms of Allergy?

Imagine... Allergy Free, Naturally! Stressor Testing and Elimination

Biofeedback Analysis Testing
Biofeedback Analysis is a highly effective health screening procedure used to obtain information from the body to determine what is needed in order to heal itself. A particular muscle is isolated and exposed to a specific substance to determine either a positive or negative response. A weakness in the indicator muscles reveals a disruption in the energy flow and therefore the presence of a stressor. An increase of strength in the indicator muscle confirms the body’s ability to process the substances being tested. No needles required. This treatment is quick and painless, many even find it relaxing!

BioEnergetic Intolerance Elimination (BIE)
Bioenergetic pathways allow energetic signals to flow continuously through and around the body. It is through these bioenergetic meridians that the brain and nervous system receive information about the state and functioning of the body as a whole. Modern electro- magnetic imaging technology has confirmed the presence of these pathways. When blockages occur within these pathways, the body is unable to recognize various food or environmental substances. This results in substances being a "stressor" to the body. Many people aren’t aware that stressors are causing many of the symptoms they are suffering with, the average person has over 75 stressors related to food alone!
A lightweight state-of-the-art device (GSR-120 BIE Unit) is used to transmit a low electronic frequency directly onto various acupressure points (without the use of needles) on the body to stimulate and clear any blockages in energy. During this procedure, the client is exposed to the stressor’s energetic frequencies produced by the GSR-120 BIE Unit. While the blockages are being recognized by the body, the body’s cells are literally being reprogrammed to recognize the stressor’s frequency . When this non-invasive and painless procedure is complete, the body will no longer see the stressor as a threat when exposed to it, therefore ceasing to produce any adverse reactions. You can be symptom free, naturally!
I’m pregnant and my children have stressors, can you help us?
Absolutely! We use a different technique that is safe for pregnancy and for children. Don’t suffer, we can help you eliminate all symptoms quickly, painlessly and safely.
Are there any side effects from the procedure?
When the body has been freed of a stressor to which it has been exposed to in the past, any damaged tissues will begin to break down and reabsorb back into the body. The odd headache, sore throat, sinus congestion, tired or lethargic feeling, aches and pains or even nausea are all signs of the body regenerating new cells and cleansing itself. This is known as a “healing process”. A healing process can start the day after the session up to 3 weeks in some cases and may last from 1 to 28 days. For this reason, many are surprised when the stressors they have been cleared of are still causing problems. In fact, they may appear to be getting sick. This is actually a good sign, not a bad one. The body is merely re-experiencing the same symptoms, temporarily, as it now returns on the uphill road, throwing off and eliminating toxic wastes. Most people feel wonderful as the symptoms disappear.
How long will I be free of any stressor once I have had it removed?
It requires only 1 to 4 sessions to clear an stressor in minutes. Approximately 75% to 80% of items only take the first session. However, depending on the degree and stress level of the client, the amount of bodily toxins and the strength of the person’s immune system, the others may require a second, third or, rarely even a fourth session. Once the intolerance in removed, you will most likely never experience symptoms from the same substance again. Stress causes much disease, take care of your body today.

Allergy Symptom Elimination Can Help!

I've recently earned my designation as a Registered BioEnergetic Practitioner and I'm SO excited to tell you about the benefits you can experience. I can test you for stressors including foods, the environment, chemicals, food additives and much more and help your body manage all symptoms associated with them. I went to see my BIE practitioner in August of 2009 just to see what she could do, I didn't have any known "stressors". What she discovered and the benefit I experience was truly helpful, so let me tell you about my experience.

How is muscle testing done?  We simply use the strength of the body and how it related to the item being tested to determine whether the body accepts or rejects it. Using an accurate, non-invasive and painless method of analysis, even children feel comfortable with. I recently took my 7 year-old in for an appointment to clear his stressor symptoms (stuffy nose and constipation) and we found out that he was reacting to dairy ( I knew that just needed confirmation to convince us all to take him off dairy) but surprisingly he was also also finding citrus a stressor(which he consumed every day as OJ or Five Alive) as well as shellfish (we had no idea). He now has normal BMs for the first time in his life (it's not funny when a little guy has man-size poops!) and his nasal congestion is gone. We used Biofeedback Analysis to do the testing, which is a scientific method to detect stressors using one's own muscle strength and the static electricity present in the body. For kids we use surrogate testing, so my boy and I held hands through the test to find his sensitivities.
I didn't consider myself to have stressors and you may not either. If you don't experience the common symptoms such as cough, wheezing, watery itchy red eyes, sneezing or runny nose, you may identify with these other symptoms possibly related to stressors:

  • Headache or migraines
  • Arthritis
  • Digestive disorders
  • Memory loss
  • Fatigue
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Acne, rash or hives
  • Constipation or diarrhea
  • Learning disabilities
  • Nightly urination
  • Gas or bloating
  • Abdominal cramps
  • Restless sleep or insomnia
  • Bad breath or body odor
  • Phobias
  • Tickle in throat or scratchy throat
  • Depression or mood swings
  • Weight gain
How can you be free of your allergy symptoms? With the use of a unique scientific technology, BIE (BioEnergetic Intolerance Elimination) is a proven method to evaluate  Food, Environmental and Chemical stressors, literally eliminating annoying symptoms within minutes by allowing your body to come back to homeostasis to heal itself. No needles, no drugs. You can expect the following benefits:

  • Lose unwanted weight
  • Increase your tolerance to foods and other environmental substances
  • Improve Immune system functioning
  • Eliminate unpleasant symptoms
  • Increased energy
  • Enjoy a less restricted lifestyle
  • Live happier and healthier
I was so happy with my results that I had my family try it and I've now become a licensed practitioner. This method is really amazing and I look forward to helping you clear your symptoms and enjoy optimal health and energy.

Bob Guiel Teaches Muscle Testing at PSI

When I was at the Poliquin Strength Institute earlier this month I had the honour of being taught muscle testing by Bob Guiel. Bob is very passionate about his work and about spreading the amazing word about this accurate method of testing the body for what it wants and needs. In the meantime I've used this method on many friends and clients and we've been blown away at the simplicity and accuracy of this method.

My Biosignature Results


I've been looking forward to having my Biosignature done again here in Rhode Island, these are professional practitioners who work with world-class athletes and know how to get the job done! We learned a lot about the most current ways to detoxify estrogen, which is excellent news because we ALL need it.

Last year when Charles did my original Biosignature Analysis, I had the insulin management and carb intolerance sites as my priorities. I did relatively well at doing the dietary adjustments of minimizing carbs and focusing on lean meats, vegetables and minimizing dairy. Did I eliminate grains? No. Should I? Seemingly, because my carb intolerance site is still my number 2 priority. What was number 1? Hamstrings, which is the excess estrogen site. Now, I don't really carry excess weight in my legs, so this is a particularly alarming results. What it indicates is that I potentially have dangerous levels of estrogen accumulating and my body is not ridding itself of it. The recommendation, which I followed immediately, is to take Poly Estro Detox Px along with Resveraltrol. Poly Estro Detox is great for everyone as a preventative because we are all exposed to environmental estrogens through our food, water, air, cosmetics, etc. It contains potent broccoli seed extract (Sulfurophane) along with green tea extract to help detoxification. This is a breakthrough product that kills a few birds with one stone, so it's excellent value and very convenient! One pill contains as much sulfurophane as 4 heads of broccoli so it's very potent as an anti-cancer agent.Why not elicit the body's ability to release it's natural antioxidant cascade with Poly Estro Detox Px? Brilliant!

Can I eliminate dairy from my coffee and grains to see excellent results? I will start tomorrow and give it 2 strict weeks, let's see how we do:). More about Biosignature RI over the next couple of weeks, I have 2 other priorities to address. Check out Clark and I at the end of Biosign RI. Thanks for measuring me Clark!!!!

Boston is Beautiful, Rhode Island and PSI

Wow, I'm finally here! I've been training so hard and prepping for this trip and I'm in the midst of it.. As I was checking in there were guys from Minneapolis, Idaho and Mexico checking in as well. I'm really looking forward to meeting our group tomorrow and hearing their stories.
I left my house at 4am yesterday, made it over the border and was sitting at my gate at Buffalo International airport at 5:45am with a cappucino. Only an hour and fifty minutes early for my flight, but better early than late! I met a lovely girl named Jen on the flight here, Hi, Jen! I hope your business went well in Boston. Now, I thought it would be a good idea to rent a car here in Boston, but have you ever driven in Boston? It's crazy!!! I've had to do a few turnarounds, but it was definitely worth it for the freedom and flexibility.

So I arrived at the Langham Hotel in the Financial District yesterday morning, checked my bags and my car and then headed to Quincy Market and Fanueil Hall. I'll add photos when I get home, but it's beautiful! As we all know, Boston is filled with early American history from the Revolutionary Era, the Civil War, the Abolitionist Movement, etc. I got my fill of historic facts on a walking tour yesterday through parts of the Freedom Trail to see some architecture, graveyards, statues, Boston Common and more. Last night I drove an hour to see Trace Adkins and Toby Keith in concert. Now, I'm a country fan and love these 2 guys, but the crowd was awesome. American country music fans are expert tailgaters, they had bean bag toss games set up, everyone was bar-b-q-ing, drinking beer, and when I got there about an hour before the concert started they had obviously been there for at least a couple of hours!! Experts, for sure. Today I did a quick workout at the surprisingly nice gym at the hotel and then headed out for a 3 hour bus tour. I saw all of the sites through Boston and did a lovely tour through Harvard and MIT over in Cambridge. The next visit to the Poliquin Strength Institute will be when I know where I'm going and where I'd like to spend some time, this time was just a quick tour of everything.

It was a pleasure to go grocery shopping and prepare for the next few days. I dutifully bought fish, chicken and broccoli and only thought about buying wine:). I'm so excited to see the Poliquin Strength Training Institute tomorrow, see the new products and bring it all home to your guys when I see you next week. This is an amazing opportunity, and a privilige to be here, I'm very thankful to be able to do this.

I must say a few words about the cleanse I've done over the last month. I feel extremely healthy, strong and shapely, have trained or done yoga most days and feel very balanced. The thing about training is that it can be exhausting, it's a skill to determine what the best activity is for your energy levels on any given day. As mentioned I've done a fair bit of yoga over the last month, I truly enjoyed Gerald's class on Friday the 24th, thank you so much for that Gerald. This process has helped me be more grounded and peaceful while my training at the gym has ensured that I achieved the body composition change I was looking for over the last 4 weeks. Respect your limits and find balance to achieve optimal results. Hey, my new words of wisdom, "Eat like a bird, train like a beast". Or something like that:).

Finally, being in Boston reminded me that this is where the Boston Marathon is held each May. Wouldn't that be something? Marathons are not the best for those of us who are muscular(that degree of cardio does not support muscle maintenance), but maybe I'll drive in to experience the energy of that weekend. Should I run it? Marathons require a longer attention span that I expect to ever have, so I doubt I'll take that challenge. Maybe one of you should run it and I'll come down for moral support...Adriane???

2 Weeks to Rhode Island!!!

Hi Everyone!

Ok, this has been the 3rd week of my nutrition and fitness program, excellent changes in my physique. My weight is steady but I've lost 3 more inches, that's awesome!!! This is what the week has looked like:

Day 11: 25 minutes Cardio, 60 minutes hot yoga
Day 12: Excellent upper body workout including chins, chest flye, lateral raises, concentration curls and, as always, triceps, triceps, triceps. Can you tell what my weak spot is?
Day 13: Spinning 30 minutes
Day 14: Upper Body
Day 15: Hot Yoga 6o minutes
Day 16: Legs
Day 17: Hot Yoga, upper body

So it's looking like 3 upper body workouts, 3 hot yoga classes as well as cardio and legs throughout. So far so good!! FYI my workouts last about 45-60 minutes, no longer. Diet is still quite clean, minimal cheats.

More next week...

Have a great weekend!!

Second Week of Cleanse

Results so far: Down 4 1/2 lb. and 4 inches!

Day 6: Hot Yoga 60 Minutes
Day 7: Upper Body
Day 8: Hot Yoga 60 Minutes
Day 9: Legs (Swings, Split squats, romanian deadlifts, straight leg deadlifts, hamstring curls)
Day 10: Upper Body (Pull-ups both wide and narrow, triceps, triceps, triceps, cable lateral raises, barbell curls, concentration curls, etc.)

You'll notice I've been doing a ton of hot yoga, this is for a purpose right now as I wind down at the end of the summer, enjoying the last relaxing part of the season and focus on myself through this time. I will be ramping up the cardio shortly!

My nutrition program has been pretty solid, but I must mention that I've "cheated" strategically to stay motivated and cycle the carbs. Many meals are fish and broccoli, eggs and spinach and such!

Supplements...the majors are fish oil, fiber, magnesium as well as all my regulars. I'm dying to try the new Poliquin supplement, UberInositol-T! I'll give you the update next week...

Happy Labour Day!
