Discussion
12 Subjects were randomly selected at Dr. George Grant Clinic
in Richmond Hill, ON. Canada and Dr. Jay Vanden Heuvel Clinic at
Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. Subjects were asked to use the Thermotherapy and the Vibroacoustic Mats 2 hours daily and some subjects used also overnight during their sleep.
Subjects were tested using Quantum Resonance Biofeedback
Device which test 39 main body organs using frequency measurements that correlates with CBS blood test by 95% based on previous published research.
The overall score range from 0 to 100% The higher the score,
the better overall health. Subjects under 50% overall score may indicate health challenges including excess use of prescription and
over the counter medications while subjects with overall score of
over 80% indicated better health score. Our Olympic Athletes in
Canada and USA must score above 95% in order for them to compete and have no complications during competitions. The Biofeedback test include Heart, Brain, Liver, Gall bladder, Kidney, Immune
System, Male and Female organs/Hormones as well as 39 key organs.
The Oximeter test measure Oxygen [SPO2
] which indicates
blood flow and oxygen saturation. Levels below 95% indicates low
blood flow, poor circulation and levels above 98% indicates excellent blood flow.
Wellness IQ at www.academyofwellness.com measure lifestyle
factors, Oxygenation, Hydration and other daily habits using 10
questions each worth 10 points Total 100. Score below 50% indicates poor Breathing/Blood Flow/ Poor Hydration/Poor Eating
Habits. Score above 80% indicates excellent lifestyle habits.
CBC Blood test includes HBA1C measure the average blood sugar level over 3 months period. Levels above 10 indicates Diabetes
and levels below 7 indicates healthy blood sugar levels.
It is shown in the results that after using the Thermotherapy
and Vibroacoustic Therapy there is a statistical significant improvement at 0.05 confidence level suggesting that these natural treatment increases blood flow [Oxygenation]; decrease inflammation,
reduces stress and improves deep sleep functions as demonstrated
in previous published studies to prevent and possibly reverse the
symptoms of Dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Literature Review
Thermotherapy and Vibroacoustic therapy increases blood flow
to the brain as well as BDNF [Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor]
which increases neurons and neurotransmitters such as Dopamine
and GABA that potentially prevent Dementia and Alzheimer’s [11].
The increased blood flow to the brain similar to regular exercise
using Thermotherapy and Vibroacoustic Therapy help prevent Dementia and Alzheimer’s [11].
The BioAcoustic Mat™ is useful for
• Stress reduction
• Entraining
• Physical and auditory stimulation
• Music therapy.
We Recommend the use the BioAcoustic Mat™ in conjunction
with the Biomat® for optimal performance to provide Vibration
Therapy, Sound Therapy and Thermotherapy to help increased
blood flow to the brain, increase BDNF and possibly prevent and
reverse Dementia [10].
The brain is akin to the universe with as many connections as
there are stars in the universe. Inside the cranium houses a mass of
neurons made up of astrocytes-star shaped bodies. Tens of billions
of them. Coming to life with energy and consciousness. It determines reason, interprets emotions like love, to appreciate and help
create art and music. To express empathy. To store and pull up our
most important human connections by memory. These are just a
few of the marvelous and mysterious functions. And no one wants
to lose any of those functions. But 50 million worldwide do.
First noted in 1906 by German physician Alois Alzheimer. It is
now seen as a disease of genetics (i.e. APOE4 gene). No one wants
to earn Alzheimer’s’ Disease (AD). Yes earn it.
There is a lot more to be discovered but better known are precise places in the brain it strikes. Rampaging proteins that give it
power to take over with cascades of breakdowns. Modern medicine
is trying to control it. The long-term goal should be prevention. A
cure is a long way off. The purpose of this study is to show vibrational therapy, thermotherapy, and acoustic therapy make powerful preventative measures in helping dementia and Alzheimer’s
with a non-invasive technique.

We do know that people with these issues build up abnormal
proteins called beta amyloid. They can form plaques outside of
nerve cells. Even inside the brain cells called tau. Generally known
as tangles.
Is this all related to genes or are their more epi-genetic influences at work? Epi-genetic is an influence that triggers a genome to
express itself. A predisposing factor can trigger a genome to manifest into a por outcome. Such as abnormal blood sugars. Which can
deter the life of the cell and create a condition form lifestyle. There
is plenty of evidence now that abnormal blood sugars may be isolated to only cells in the brain. Now regarded as diabetes type III.
Like cells in a person with diabetes type II, the brain cells slow or
even stop responding to natural insulin levels from the body. People with dementia and Alzheimer’s brain cells lose their ability to
break down sugars using insulin. Which is where energy for the
brain cells comes from in the first place. Without proper energy
conversion the cells are compromised. Poor sleep also compromises the detoxification aspect of removal of waste in brain while
sleeping and all this complicates matters.
Dementia itself comes in many forms. The most common of
course, is Alzheimer’s itself. The second is vascular dementia.
Which is decreased blood flow.
Again, poor sleep is a powerful generator of these issues and is
being heavily studied as well. It also stands to reason healthy eating, stress reduction, proper gut health, and circulation are prime
areas of prevention and stabilization.
According to Majid Fotuhi, Harvard neurologist who specializes
in prevention, new lifestyle techniques such as exercise, targeted
training, diet, quality sleep, and stress reduction all show reduced
levels of tau. He states “improve the health of the heart, and you
improve the health of the brain”.
Sound prevention when you consider the Brain requires a lot
of oxygen. The brain itself uses 20% of the blood pumped by the
heart. Neurons deprived of proper oxygen levels, do not work as
well and maybe become tangled in time.
A randomized controlled trial from the 2016 Alzheimer’s Association conference showed even sedentary elderly people improve
with exercise. Thermotherapy has been shown to improve blood
flow. Imagine helping prevent cognitive decline by sleeping or resting on bioacoustics and thermotherapy mats.
Studies show it can be prevented. That is the only rational approach to AD because the expensive drugs do not work.
How can it be prevented? The answer is by addressing the same
factors that lead to heart problems, that is, by optimizing how your
neurons metabolize. It is all about how we fuel, increase blood flow,
and build our cells through nutrition, how they detoxify, how we
avoid outside toxins, and how we use said neurons.
It is very distressing to see these simple facts ignored while we
are bombarded by TV commercials about ineffective drugs.
Even as early as 2002, the risk showed it can be reduced by
treating high blood pressure, blood sugar balance, weight reduction, and lipid reductions. It went largely ignored in favor of pharmaceutical approaches [1-19].
The AP (6/22, Neergaard) reports that even though “there are
no proven ways to stave off mental decline or dementia, but a new
report says there are hints that exercise, controlling blood pressure
and some forms of brain training might offer help”. The National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine said in a report
released that came in response to a National Institute on Aging
(NIA) request.
USA Today (6/22, Toy) reports, “The report’s findings line up
with the Alzheimer’s Association’s findings from two years ago”
said Keith N. Fargo, the association’s director of Scientific Programs
and Outreach. At that time, “the organization published its own review and identified two things that could help minimize the risk
of cognitive decline”. Those two things were “‘increasing physical
activity and improving cardiovascular health”.
USA Today (7/27/16) reports several new studies presented at
the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Toronto
confirmed that “living a healthy, non-smoking, socially active and
interesting life remains the best way to prevent dementia”. Moreover, research shows there are currently no “medications that can
prevent the fatal disease or extend the lives of the more than 5 million Americans currently suffering from Alzheimer’s”. However, the
piece notes that one class of drugs, cholinesterase inhibitors such
as the drug Aricept, can delay or reduce symptoms in some people.
Since about 2018. Alzheimer’s disease has been from time to
time referred to as “type III” diabetes. Though that may not make
much sense, there is a problem with insulin usage. Brown univerPreventing and Possibly Reversing Dementia and Alzheimer’s Using Thermotherapy and Vibroacoustic Therapy in 12 Subjects Over 3 Months

sity was first to denote this. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. Type II diabetes is a chronic disease caused by diet. Instead
of another type of diabetes, although maybe appropriate, it is increasingly looking like Alzheimer’s is another form of diabetes but
mostly a side effect of a sugary, Western-style diet.
In some cases, the pathway from abnormal blood sugar to Alzheimer’s leads through type 2 diabetes, but as a study and others
show, that is not always the exact circumstances.
A longitudinal study, published in the journal Diabetologia, followed 5,189 people over 10 years and found that people with high
blood sugar had a faster rate of cognitive decline than those with
normal blood sugar-whether or not their blood-sugar level technically made them diabetic. This shows, the higher the blood sugar,
the faster the cognitive decline. Went on to say, “Dementia is one of
the most prevalent psychiatric conditions strongly associated with
poor quality of later life”, said the lead author, Wuxiang Xie at Imperial College London, via email. “Currently, dementia is not curable,
which makes it very important to study risk factors”.
Melissa Schilling, a professor at New York University, performed
her own review of studies connecting diabetes to Alzheimer’s in
- She sought to reconcile two confusing trends. People who
have type 2 diabetes are about twice as likely to get Alzheimer’s,
and people who have diabetes and are treated with insulin are also
more likely to get Alzheimer’s, suggesting elevated insulin plays a
role in Alzheimer’s. In fact, many studies have found that elevated
insulin, or “hyperinsulinemia”, significantly increases your risk of
Alzheimer’s. So, ponder this. People with type 1 diabetes, who do
not make insulin at all, are also thought to have a higher risk of
Alzheimer’s. How can both these be true?
Also, verbatim in this study, Schilling posits this happens because of the insulin-degrading enzyme. A product of insulin that
breaks down both insulin and amyloid proteins in the brain—the
same proteins that clump up and lead to Alzheimer’s disease. People who do not have enough insulin, like those whose bodies’ ability to produce insulin has been tapped out by diabetes, are not going to make enough of this enzyme to break up those brain tangles.
Meanwhile, in people who use insulin to treat their diabetes and
end up with a surplus of insulin, most of this enzyme gets used up
breaking that insulin down, leaving not enough enzyme to address
those amyloid brain clumps (tangles).
According to Schilling, this can happen even in people who do
not have diabetes yet—who are in a state known as “prediabetes”.
It simply means your blood sugar is higher than normal, and it is
something that affects roughly 86 million Americans.
Schilling is not primarily a medical researcher. But Rosebud
Roberts, a professor of epidemiology and neurology at the Mayo
Clinic, agrees.
In 2012, Roberts did a stud that broke nearly 1,000 people
down into four groups. Based on how much of their diet came from
carbohydrates. The group that consumed the most carbs had an
80 percent higher chance of developing mild cognitive impairment
(on the way to dementia). The other group consumed a lot less. The
stud went on to say, “people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI),
can dress and feed themselves, but they have trouble with more
complex tasks. Intervening in MCI can help prevent dementia”.
Rebecca Gottesman, (Professor of Neurology/Johns Hopkins),
cautions that the findings on carbs are not as well-established as
those on diabetes. “It’s hard to be sure at this stage, what an idea’
diet would look like”, she said. “There’s a suggestion that a Mediterranean diet, for example, may be good for brain health”.
But she says, “there are several theories out there to explain
the connection between high blood sugar and dementia”. Diabetes
complications can weaken the blood vessels, potentially causing
“mini-strokes”. Directly causing various forms of dementia (vascular dementia). Overconsumptions of simple carbohydrates (sugars) can make cells, like in the brain, insulin resistant. In turn, could
cause the brain cells to die. As already known, to be a leading cause
of obesity. Also noted in this study, “extra fat in obese people releases cytokines, or inflammatory proteins that can also contribute to
cognitive deterioration”, Roberts said. In one study by Gottesman,
obesity doubled a person’s risk of having elevated amyloid proteins
in their brains later in life.
Roberts said that “people with type 1 diabetes are mainly only
at risk if their insulin is so poorly controlled that they have hypoglycemic episodes. But even people who do not have any kind of
diabetes should watch their sugar intake”, she said.
“Just because you don’t have type 2 diabetes doesn’t mean you
can eat whatever carbs you want”, she said. “Especially if you’re not
active”. What we eat, she added, is “a big factor in maintaining conPreventing and Possibly Reversing Dementia and Alzheimer’s Using Thermotherapy and Vibroacoustic Therapy in 12 Subjects Over 3 Months

Therapy in 12 Subjects Over 3 Months”. Acta Scientific Neurology 3.12 (2020).
trol of our destiny”. Roberts stated this new study by Xie is interesting because “it also shows an association between prediabetes and
cognitive decline”.
As mentioned in this study, it is an important point that often
gets forgotten when discussing Alzheimer’s. Which went on to say,
“It is such a horrible disease that it can be tempting to dismiss it
as inevitable. And, of course, there are genetic and other, non-nutritional factors that contribute to its progression”. As researchers
point out, daily decisions about food are one risk factor we can control. Obviously, decisions we make while we are in our youth can
affect our future cognitive health.
“Alzheimer’s is like a slow-burning fire that you don’t see when
it starts”, Schilling said. Time is the deciding factor in order, for
clumps (tangles) to form. And cognition does decline/accelerate
with those poor daily decisions. Schilling also stated, “By the time
you see the signs, it’s way too late to put out the fire”.
Yes, abnormal blood sugars are now being a big component of
brain health but what about other factors like gut health?
We now know that the microbiome of ourselves is a big part
of brain health, cardiovascular, blood sugar control, hormones, and
much more. The microbiome is a newly discovered organ. Brought
to front stage by the human microbiome project in 2010. It has a
huge effect on how we think, feel, and function. Trillions of bacteria,
fungi, and viruses (yes we have a virome too). It has been found
that helping our gut health (microbiome) recues inflammation. Improves our immune system and just discovered that certain bacteria in our gut only lives on GABA chemicals. Proof that bacteria
affect our brains.
Even one species like L. rhamnosus dramatically alters GABA activity in mice. Again proof.
There are over 50 bacterial groups detected in the human gut
microbiome to date. Two major groups are Bacteroidetes (plant
lovers) and firmicutes (sugar lovers). It is obvious which one higher population of species would benefit the brain, the Bacteroidetes.
“The largest and most complex of our microbiomes is that of
the gut, and disruptions in its delicate balance have been linked
to virtually every disease that a person can suffer, from autism to
cancer to dementia to cardiovascular and autoimmune diseases”.
According to Dr. Felice Gersh, M.D.
According to Univ. Cal. San Diego in 2010, bacteria employ electrical signaling in the same way brain cells do (new science). Bacteria may be ancient organisms but are far from primitive. Their
clinical studies showed that they behave collectively! That bacteria
share nutrients with neighbors, move as a colony, even committing
suicide for the greater good of the colony. Having a direct effect on
the immune system, metabolism, majority of chemicals and modifying the epigenome.
Speaking of metabolism, SCFA (short-chain fatty acids) are the
metabolic post-products of the fermentation of fiber that are produced by the gut microbes. Making Acetic Acid, Butyric Acid which
is absorbed by the host. Also, Vitamin B’s, K, metabolizing bile acids, sterols, and xenobiotics. Suggesting the microbiome is like an
endocrine organ.
This is important for numerous aspects of health, including the
maintenance of optimal metabolic well-being, mood, and cognition, and the health of the immune system.
Our microbe germs are the immune system generators and
more importantly linked to the brain.
For example, according other advanced microbial studies, bacterial peptides stimulate macrophages (Interleukin/Tumor Necrosis Factor). LPS (lipopolysaccharides) form from cell walls of gramnegative bacteria (most good probiotics are gram +). Increased LPS
promotes pro-inflammatory (cytokines) concentrations. When this
occurs our natural cortisol levels increase (stress induced). Resulting in but not limited to anxiety, depression, impaired long-term
memory, and leaky gut.
This suggests a healthy gut is critical to our brain health.
At the Gut-Brain Relationship conference (2014), evidence was
exposed that microbiome has a great influence on the brain itself.
This can affect behavior good or bad. Shown to affect the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Axis (HPA). The biggest effect? Improving sleep
and decreasing stress/cortisol production (obesity).
The brain and the gut both develop from the same tissue in utero. They split into the enteric nervous system (ENS) and the central
nervous system (CNS). Connected via cranial nerve 10 or the vagus
nerve. A direct bi-directional communication system between the
ENS and the CNS. We truly do have a “gut feeling”. It’s referred to
as a second brain.

Citation: George Grant and Jay Vanden Heuvel. “Preventing and Possibly Reversing Dementia and Alzheimer’s Using Thermotherapy and Vibroacoustic
Therapy in 12 Subjects Over 3 Months”. Acta Scientific Neurology 3.12 (2020).
Studies show gut microbiomes do have a significant influence
on psychosis, mood, and behavior. Via communication along the
gut-brain axis and the HPA axis. Research indicates exposure to
stressful events “influences” the composition of the microbiome.
Creating both short- and long-term effects.
This brain-gut axis (HPA) enables bottom-up signaling from the
gut to the brain, and top-down signaling, whereby the brain influences secretory and motor function of the gastrointestinal tract
(Vagus nerve X).
According to Dr Ralf Jager PhD, a scientific advisor with Pharmachem labs, “If balance of gut microbiota tips out of whack and into
a state of dysbiosis-whether via gastrointestinal irritation or other
causes-the ENS then appears to send signals to the CNS that can
actually trigger changes in mood”. Also notes “Certain probiotics
have been shown to balance the gut microbiota and, consequently,
improve brain health”. Probiotics appear “to aid the response to a
stressor by reducing levels of the stress hormone cortisol”. They
help keep us calm!
Not only is heart health = brain health, so is a good microbiome
or second brain.
One other aspect to consider is BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor). It is considered an important protein that influences brain function as well as the peripheral nervous system. BDNF
influences a variety of functions. Helping prevent death of existing
brain cells, inducing the growth of new neurons (neurogenesis)
and synapses, and supporting cognitive function. Low levels of
BDNF are often problematic and have been linked to Alzheimer’s.
BDNF plays a role in neuroplasticity (allows cells in brain to
compensate for injury). Increasing circulation (exercise or thermotherapy), reducing sugar intake, utilizing the sun and vitamin D,
and increasing polyphenols are just some ways to bolster prevention.
Increasing endorphins (feel good chemicals) by increasing circulation also makes great brain sense.
Conclusion
Everything discussed can be improved with thermotherapy, infrared sauna, negative ions, and music.

Introduction
Neurodegenerative diseases involve the progressive deterioration
of structures within the central nervous system responsible
for motor control, cognition, and autonomic function. Dementia,
Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease are among the most
common neurodegenerative disease and have an increasing prevalence
over the age of 50. Central in the pathophysiology of these
neurodegenerative diseases is the loss of protein homeostasis,
resulting in misfolding and aggregation of damaged proteins. An
element of the protein homeostasis network that prevents the dysregulation
associated with neurodegeneration is the role of molecular
chaperones. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are chaperones
that regulate the aggregation and disaggregation of proteins in
intracellular and extracellular spaces, and evidence supports their
protective effect against protein aggregation common to neurodegenerative
diseases. Consequently, upregulation of HSPs, such as
HSP70, may be a target for therapeutic intervention for protection
against neurodegeneration. A novel therapeutic intervention

Introduction
Thermotherapy can profoundly support the immune system to reduce viral replication. The objective of this literature review is
to find supportive evidence in scientific literature to validate our previously published work on Thermotherapy using Infrared and
negative ions Amethyst Bio mat on Diabetes, Cancer, Sleep Problems and Pain Management [100].
Heat, crystals, gems, flower essences, homeopathy, are just
some examples of integrated therapies in the pursuit of optimum
health. Gemstones as example, influence specific organs in the
physical body. They are of a crystalline structure which can focus
on biomolecular level pathways [7]. This can help integrate the life
force into the body. Noted to even amplify consciousness (it is also
interesting to note that all cells have consciousness). These gems
can exert powerful effects upon the meridians, chakras, and subtle
bodies of our multi-dimensional body. Another example is color
which is not new to the twenty first century. Applied in ancient
times was the healing temples of light and color at Heliopolis in
Egypt. Afterall, we all need and feel healed from the Sun through
resonant infrared energy [100].
Crystals are a growing knowledge that help transmute and
transform electromagnetic energy. We have crystals in our cell
phones, right? A Ruby crystal was a key component in the very
first laser developed by Bell laboratory scientists in the ‘60’s. Liquid
crystals (think cell phones/computers) is another example.
Biologists have now discovered that even cellular membranes
and some structures within the human body are liquid crystals as
well. Electromagnetism has potential healing properties. All starting
with crystals and gems originating naturally within the Earth.
Could this thermotherapy be the next big medical advance? [100].
VibroAcoustic Mat
Better Sleep, Better Health, Better Life and Better Memory
A new approach to wellness with vibroacoustic sound.
The BioAcoustic Mat™ is a revolutionary vibroacoustic therapy device made by Richway & Fuji Bio, makers of the world-renowned Biomat
Years of scientific research has shown that specific low frequency sound pulsations and beautiful brainwave entraining music have powerful therapeutic effects on our health and well-being. The practical applications of sound being used in treatments have been present in cultures throughout our history. Early cultures such as the Aborigines, a tribal group from Australia, have used sound to heal the ill. They would use a yidaki, a musical instrument in which blown air would create very low vibrations.
The BioAcoustic Mat™ employs a powerful low frequency sound generator that delivers a deep acoustic massage for joints and tissues. The music pieces on the BioAcoustic Mat™ apply the low frequencies of 30-68 Hz to massage large muscles and the higher 52-88 Hz level for smaller muscles.
Dr. Lee Bartel, the world’s foremost authority on vibroacoustic therapy’s research has shown scientifically developed sounds will relax and renew your body naturally. The high-fidelity upper speakers add another dimension of sound therapy to the BioAcoustic Mat™. The beautiful music on these upper speakers have been designed to provide a calming sense of well-being.
Drawing on years of experience, Dr. Bartel has created tracks that get you ready for sleep by stimulating deep sleep delta brainwaves, helps you relax by stimulating alpha brainwaves, or helps you get energized and solve problems by stimulating your theta brainwaves.
