Encyclopedia > Bioenergetics

Bioenergetics, loosely defined, is the study of energy investment and flow through living systems. This broad definition includes the study of thousands of different processes ranging from cellular respiration and the production of ATP, to the study of evolutionary costs accompanying the development of a particular trait, such as the immune system. One question this area of science seeks to answer is whether protective benefit of a particular trait is worth the energy investment it requires. Cellular respiration is the process in which the chemical bonds of energy-rich molecules such as glucose are converted into energy usable for life processes. ... Adenosine 5-triphosphate (ATP) is a multifunctional nucleotide primarily known in biochemistry as the molecular currency of intracellular energy transfer. ... The Immune System (also known as the Immunlological System) is made up of all the mechanisms through which a multicellular organism defends itself from internal invaders such as bacteria, virus or parasites. ...

Using the latest electronics the bioenergetics of the organs and glands via the reflex zones of the hand are measured and processed by the Biopulsar's software program.
Simply by placing the client's hand on the Biopulsar handplate within minutes her/his complete energetic profile is displayed on computer screen, showing the energy colours of the client's individual organs and the energy field of their whole body is realistically shown.
After the body’s bioenergetics are measured then the corresponding therapy colours over the reflex zones is massaged in using the Chromalive® Penlight.
