The iolife system utilises a method known as “Controlled Ionically Transferred Effect” (C.I.T.E.) in which an electronic effect is transferred through the air to the patient to be treated. Although it is not suggested in the title, it should be stressed that the philosophy behind the technique is based on the concept of acupuncture linked to certain atmospheric electric phenomena and coloured light.

Anywhere in the lower atmosphere certain radioactive processes take place all the time, and by these processes atmospheric ions or air ions are produced.

When air ions land on a conductive surface, such as the human skin, they give off their charge and cause a current through the body. If this current is caused by the naturally occurring ions the current is extremely weak and cannot be measured by conventional methods, but has to be integrated over time. If, however, a needle is inserted in the skin, as is usually the case in traditional acupuncture treatment, the needle may act as a kind of antennae and this has been demonstrated to increase the current to a given area in the region of 20%.

And it is my belief that this effect is actually what sometimes makes acupuncture work.

The concentration of air ions in our environment is usually of the order of a few hundred per cc (maybe 20% more positive than negative), and the concentrations may change with time as well as with location. It is this uncertainty that makes the result of traditional acupuncture treatment so unpredictable.

With the iolife technology the air ions are produced in our electrical equipment, but it should be stressed that these ions are identical to the naturally occurring ions. By creating the ions ourselves, we can control the concentration and also choose the polarity (positive or negative).

We can spray an area to be treated with a shower of ions much bigger than with traditional acupuncture. As mentioned above the ions plating out on the skin are neutralized, and thereby cease to exist as ions.

So the ions never enter the body!

The ions give off their charge once they land on the skin and this creates a current through the body. This current is measured and integrated by the iolife equipment which records the exposure as well as the total dose.

In the iolife system, the ions are combined with coloured light. This combination produces heat, stimulates vital energy lines, aids circulation of the blood, and decreases anaemia, asthma, diseases of the larynx, certain skin diseases (such as eczema) and chronic coughs. It stimulates the sensory nervous system, aids the healing of wounds and is used in treatment of chronic infections and insufficiency diseases.
