BT-7
Usage Tips
Dr. Bob Beck developed the original BT-5 Brain Tuner in 1983. This unit had a fixed output setting of 1,000 Hz., modulated (pulsed) at 111Hz. (plus hundreds of frequency harmonics). In 1989, Dr. Beck introduced the BT-6 model with the additional 7.83Hz. Schumann Resonance (Earth Resonance Frequency) and a 0.5 Hz., ON/OFF cycle. This represents our current model BT-7 as well. Many customers familar with the concept of Schumann Resonance, have asked if the 7.83 Hz. setting will stimulate psychic or spiritual states of consciousness. To our knowledge, based upon 23 years of marketing Dr. Beck's Brain Tuner, there is no psychic or para-normal effect from using this particular setting. However, EEG brainwave mapping does indicate an influence towards a greater balancing of the Alpha Brainwave patterns in the Left and Right Hemispheres and a deeper state of relaxation.
Nutrition
Proper nutrition is important when using the BT-7. Individuals who have been stressed out for years (depression, post-traumatic stress syndrome, etc.) will see a much better result from using the Bio-Tuner if they take some steps to strengthen the adrenal glands and support the brain with proper amino acid precurser nutrients that support the production of neurotransmitters - such as Dopamine and Serotonin. There are many good adrenal support formulas available from your health food store or on the internet. Likewise, good quality amino acid formulas are readily available.
What Setting Should I Use
When choosing a setting, it is important to note that due to the internal programming of the BT-7 ALL of the settings share an underlying frequency of 1,000.00 Hz., which is then pulsed out or interrupted by the 111Hz. pulse repetition rate, (along with the hundreds of frequency harmonics). So, all six settings share this feature in common. Settings number 2 and 3 as well as number 5 and 6 add an extra element of Voltage Modulation over the basic output. In other words, the voltage is "Pumped Up and Down" at the 0.5 rate or the 7.83 rate. The body is very sensitive to many types of rhythms and pulsations, so the voltage modulations of 0.5 and 7.83 add an extra dimension of relaxation signals to the body. A frequency of 0.5 is related to the human Delta brainwave range and the 7.83 is related to the Alpha brainwave range.
Feel free to experiment with the various settings and note which one feels the most relaxing or energizing (depending upon your personal goals). You are always receiving the basic frequency harmonics, regardless of the setting.
What Time of Day to Use BT-7
It is alright to use the brain tuner any time of day. However, due to the body's daily variations in Bio-rhythms, blood sugar levels, etc. your responses to the brain tuner may vary according to the time of day it is used. For example, some individuals using BT-7 near their normal bed time, may find that it gives them a lot of extra energy and they do not feel tired. In this case, try using the unit earlier in the day, or try using the 0.5 Hz. setting. It is important to use the BT-7
each day for 2 to 3 weeks in order to achieve the maximum benefits.
There is no need to repeat the entire 2 to 3 weeks if you happen to skip
a day or two. Following the initial series of sessions, BT-7 may
be used on occasion as desired to maintain the initial improvements.
For example, memory improvements may maintain up to 1 year before additional
sessions are necessary. Other gains may be more temporary and require
more frequent reinforcement. Individual results will vary.
Possible Side Effects
Vivid Dreaming - over the years, we have observed that some individuals experience very vivid dreams during the first week or two of using the BT-7. This is not permanent and normally does not last more than a few weeks.
Headache - a very small number of individuals may experience a mild, temporary headache the first few sessions. Note: It is not at all clear if the BT-7 actually causes headaches. In one double-blind placebo test, approx. 2 percent of patients receiving a sham therapy with NO battery in the instrument, reported headache, which was the same percentage as the the live battery group. Our actual experience since 1983 indicates that many individuals report headache relief co-incident with using the BT-7.
Earclip Sensitivity - some individuals may be very sensitive to the electrical stimulus of the earclips on the earlobes. Start out with the intensity dial at a low level the first few days. There is no need to "crank up" the intensity levels in order to achieve beneficial results. It is very normal for the body to adapt or accommodate to the stimulation. After a few minutes, you may not feel the electrical stimulation on the skin. If the intensity dial is turned up, then you will feel the stimulation once again. It is not necessary to continually increase the stimulation levels throughout the session. In some very sensitive individuals, turning up the voltage all the way could irritate the skin and even result in electrode burns. Remember, when it comes to the intensity setting, more is not necessarily better.
BT-7 Six
selectable output settings:
Note that settings 1, 2, 3, have a pulse duration of 550 microseconds and settings 4, 5, and 6 have a pulse duration of 220 microseconds. This represents the active ON time of the pulse. We do not have any published research that would support the use of one pulse width setting over the other. The underlying waveform of the BT-7 is the same, regardless of the setting you select. This means that any of the six settings will provide a broad spectrum of frequency harmonics and all of them will work! Just find the setting that feels best to you. (1) 111.11 Hz - this was the setting for the original BT-5 Brain Tuner from 1983. It includes hundreds of harmonics. Many users find this setting to be more energizing. This pulsation frequency is actually present in all six of the BT-7 settings.
(2) 1 sec. ON / 1 sec.
OFF - this 0.5Hz. voltage modulation corresponds to the low Delta brainwave frequency. This frequency, in terms of EEG brainwave, is associated with deep REM sleep.
(3) 7.83 Hz - this was Dr. Beck's favorite - Schumann Resonance frequency (also known as the Earth Resonance Frequency or Earth's Brainwave), due to the resemblance to the human Alpha brainwave pattern. This setting may help to synchronize the energy levels of the left and right brain EEG patterns. As a pioneer of EEG bio-feedback instrumentation, Dr. Beck tested numerous healers, shamans, Hawaiian Kahunas, dowsers, etc. and found that all of them exhibited high levels of brainwave activity in the 7.83Hz. frequency when they were engaged in actual healing activity.
The 7.83 Alpha frequency is also associated with increased creativity, superlearning, memory improvement, intuitive insights and more. We have not found this to produce paranormal or psychic abilities. This type of entrainment of the brain would be more likely with a magnetic pulse device that operates within the human brainwave frequency range.
Personal note from Volker Risto - owner of this website: my introduction to Dr. Bob Beck's Brain Tuner goes back to 1985, when I first attended one of his lectures in Santa Monica, California. Like everyone in the room, I was captivated by Dr. Beck and the fascinating information he had to share. Bob was highly intelligent, articulate and engaging while still making room for humor and personal stories. It was soon after that when I had an opportunity to help Dr. Beck market his products. This developed into a memorable and close relationship that endured until Dr. Beck's passing on June 23, 2002. Among my fondest memories were the years of travelling around the country with Dr. Beck to numerous Health Expos and Science Conventions. Dr. Bob Beck was a unique personality and a great friend; an unforgettable genius who left behind him a legacy of hope and healing for millions through his great compassion and creativity in electromedicine. |
