INTRODUCTION
BASICS
The basis of Biotherapy is immune system stimulation and modulation with a human bioenergy generated bioelectromagnetic field.
FIELD
Bioelectromagnetic field is a product of the bioelectricity (action potentials) and ion fluxes (chemiosmosis) on the membrane of the cell.
Bioelectricity refers to electrical currents occurring within or produced by the human body. Bioelectric currents are generated by a number of different biological processes, and are used by cells to conduct impulses along nerve fibers, to regulate tissue and organ functions, and to govern metabolism.
SIGNALING
Essentially, to promote healing we need to give a signal that will elevate the immune response which is responsible for maintenance of homeostasis through the complex interaction of the cellular, humoral & complement immune system with the central neurological system and other physiological processes.
HOMEOSTASIS
To rebalance the temporary change of homeostasis due to Biotherapy treatment interference with the metabolism, the immune system kicks-in. Biotherapy treatment is just guiding the immune system and is “programming” it. The rest of the process that is actual healing is a “decision” of the immune system following damage or dysfunction of the tissue or reacting to a presence of pathogens.
MECHANISM
MUSCLES
In Biotherapy, a therapist uses skeletal hand muscles (the intrinsic muscles: adductor pollicis, palmaris brevis, interossei, lumbricals, thenar, and hypothenar muscles) with contraction and relaxation to generate a higher or lower potential of EM bioenergy. The higher potential is a product of action potentials, the lower potential is due to resting potentials.
BIOELECTRICITY
For a muscular contraction to happen, the upper motor neuron in the brain produces bioelectric signaling (action potential) which is sent through the spine and peripheral motoric nerves (radial, median, and ulnar nerve) to the muscles of the hand. On the synaptic junction of the muscle, biochemical signaling through the biochemical neurotransmitters trigger a new series of events that create action potentials in the muscles.

BIOENERGY
The flow of bioelectricity through the nerves and muscles creates an ultra-weak bioelectromagnetic field that radiates outside of the body.
This field is of a special structure due to its biological origin. It is highly coherent, dynamically polarized and tuned with biomolecular patterns. Modern technically produced EM fields cannot mimic bioelectromagnetic field.

EMG
To measure action potentials of the nerves and muscles we can use an electromyography device (EMG) which can detect the electric potential generated by the muscle cells when these cells are electrically or neurologically activated.
Bioelectromagnetic fields created by the tissue of the human body are very hard to measure, although new biomagnetic measurement devices are becoming more available to measure those fields at room temperature with a relatively simple magnetically shielded room.
THERMODYNAMICS
The biophysical effect of therapy can be measured with Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) to visualize metabolic changes in the tissue as a temperature dynamic (the measure of the average speed of atoms and molecules).
Beside DITI we can also use biomarkers to identify immune response and measurement of other physiological changes due to treatment.
PROCESS
PATTERNS
A biotherapist uses different hand positions and movements in combination with muscular tension and/or relaxation to stimulate the recipient’s immune system for his/her specific medical condition.
In Biotherapy, we use 13 basic techniques where one technique is a manual psychological technique.
STIMULATION
We combine basic techniques into the General Treatment which is a backbone of Biotherapy. General treatment is a nonspecific immune system stimulation procedure.
By combining basic techniques into complex procedures by modern medicine pathology inside of the general treatment we specifically stimulate the immune system for different medical conditions.
POTENTIALS
Pathology of a medical condition can be interpreted by simple bioenergetics as a condition of high potential and condition of low potential.
High potential conditions are with inflammation or high metabolic activity.
Low potential conditions are with low circulation or low metabolic activity. Both conditions lead to organ or tissue dysfunction.
To promote immune response we will use Biotherapy procedures in accordance with the bioenergetics of the presented pathology.
HEALING
Biotherapy treatment creates small bioenergetic disturbances in the patient’s body. The immune system recognizes these disturbances as a homeostatic dysbalance.
Repeated treatments through a 4-day therapy cycle “hacks” the immune system in such a way that it “thinks” that there is a specific danger that needs to be taken care of.
Three to four weeks after therapy, the immune system kicks in with a full potency to heal. Fundamentally, this healing potential of the immune system boils down to the reparation of the tissue or cellular dysfunction and protection from pathogens.
The basis of healing is an ancient survival mechanism which we inherited from our distant ancestors.
UNDERSTANDING
The full action mechanism of Biotherapy is still not fully understood but slowly we are starting to learn how this subtle and gentle treatment can trigger such a powerful immune response.
SCIENCE
NOVELTY
Biotherapy belongs to a Biofield group of treatments.
Biofield therapy refers to a group of therapies that affect changes in people’s health and well-being by interacting with their biofield.
Biofield science is an emerging field of study that aims to provide a scientific foundation for understanding the complex homeodynamic regulation of living systems. By furthering our scientific knowledge of the biofield, we arrive at a better understanding of the foundations of biology as well as the phenomena that have been described as “energy medicine.”

FUTURE
The application of extremely low-level signals to the body, including energy therapist interventions and bio-electromagnetic device-based therapies, is incomprehensible from the dominant biomedical paradigm of “life as chemistry.”

CONCLUSION
The essence of the biofield perspective is that a variety of endogenously generated electromagnetic and other fields act within and between multiple levels of biology, from molecular and cellular, through tissues and whole organisms to affect our personal and perhaps even our interpersonal functioning.

Biotherapy is bioenergy assisted immune treatment. A biotherapist uses his own bio-electromagnetic field to stimulate the patient’s immune system in a nonspecific and specific way. The stimulated immune system responds and “heals” the patient.
Biotherapy is a bioenergy treatment first developed in Russia in the late 1960s as a modern, secular approach to traditional hands-on healing methods with biological and physical reasoning. Later, the method crossed Eastern-Europe to ex-Yugoslavia in the late 1970s’ where it has merged with similar methodologies and has been researched and applied as a complementary medical intervention. The founder of Biotherapy Asia, Ivan Roca, adapted these methodologies and cleared it from the folklore and unnecessary procedures, techniques, and philosophies. This new Biotherapy method is a purely medical, highly structured bioenergy system that can be easily applied in a clinical or non-formal environment. The name of the method is Biotherapy – Clinical Group Bioenergy Treatment.
Bioenergy is the energy dynamic observed within living organisms. Also, it is a scientific name that tries to encompass a very broad interdisciplinary area of research into the energy of a living organism. “Bios” is an Ancient Greek word meaning life, and energy is another Ancient Greek word, meaning activity, but here it signifies potential and possibility. Bioenergy has nothing to do with concepts like bioplasma, Chi, Qi, Ki, Prana, Universal energy, Life energy or Orgon.
Yes, with an electromyography device (EMG).
EMG is an electrodiagnostic medicine technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. EMG is performed using an instrument called an electromyograph to produce a record called an electromyogram. An electromyograph detects the electric potential generated by muscle cells when these cells are electrically or neurologically activated.
No. The therapy is successful even if a person does not believe in the biological effect of the immune system stimulation with the human bioenergy field, which is a result of ignorance and a lack of information.
The body response does not depend on our beliefs. It is an automatic and autonomic biological process.
A biotherapist uses different hand positions and movements in combination with muscular tension and/or relaxation to stimulate the recipient’s immune system for his/her specific medical condition. Human endogenous bio-electromagnetic radiation interferes with the bioenergy processes of a diseased person to alter the metabolism and cause a body shock response that triggers the immune system activation in a specific and non-specific way.
Every movement has a different energetic signature so that the biotherapist can trigger an immune response in different tissues for different purposes. Immune response due to a “shock” to maintain homeostasis (check danger model of the immune system from Dr. Polly Matzinger), stimulates natural defenses.
A biotherapist uses muscular tension and relaxation to consciously send bioelectrical signaling (active potentials) of a higher or lower electromagnetic radiation intensity into the area of the hands. Propagation of the action potentials in the nerves and muscles produces a bio-electromagnetic field that radiates outside of the human body.
All the ‘manipulation’ processes occur automatically which is a completely natural process that is constantly taking place, but most of the time we are not aware of it. Bioenergy therapy is the application of natural energy processes and laws for awakening your own immune defenses, which due to a disharmonious way of life or due to some other factors (genetics, environment, etc.) become weakened or stop functioning entirely.

Bioenergetics is the part of biochemistry concerned with the energy involved in making and breaking of chemical bonds in the molecules found in biological organisms. It can also be defined as the study of energy relationships and energy transformations and transductions in living organisms. The ability to harness energy from a variety of metabolic pathways is a property of all living organisms. Growth, development, anabolism, and catabolism are some of the central processes in the study of biological organisms because the role of energy is fundamental to such biological processes. Life is dependent on energy transformations; living organisms survive because of the exchange of energy between living tissues/ cells and the outside environment.
The essence of the biofield perspective is that a variety of endogenously generated electromagnetic and other fields act within and between multiple levels of biology, from molecular and cellular, through tissues and whole organisms to affect our personal and perhaps even our interpersonal functioning. The human body is a biofield.
Biofield science is an emerging field of study that aims to provide a scientific foundation for understanding the complex homeodynamic regulation of living systems. By furthering our scientific knowledge of the biofield, we arrive at a better understanding of the foundations of biology as well as the phenomena that have been described as “energy medicine.”
Biotherapy is biofield therapy.
Yes, bioenergy/energy therapy is nowadays practiced throughout the world and is called biofield therapy. New approaches in scientific research are slowly revealing the possible mechanism of bioenergy therapy. Many hospitals and medical centers are slowly starting to integrate bioenergy therapy to complement and support conventional medicine.
No, Biotherapy is complementary and supplementary to all other medical and ‘alternative’ therapies, even though, in many cases, it is much more successful and efficient. After therapy, you should not discontinue the medication or other treatments or medical procedures prescribed by your doctor. Only a biomedical check-up can confirm improvement and make further decisions in conjunction with the patient about continuing or discontinuing conventional medical treatment.
With groups of people, energy potentials multiply and “share” automatically. When in a group, it is easier to observe improvement during the therapy itself. It is also easier to exchange experiences. Group dynamics are an essential part of the subconscious work.
No! A natural energy process cannot be harmful in itself. Biotherapy is a noninvasive treatment without side-effects.
Yes, a diagnosis is necessary from a doctor. We do not diagnose.
No special preparation is needed. It is advisable to come at least 15 minutes before the beginning of therapy. It is desirable to free yourself from as many commitments as possible during the therapy days. Strong reactions during therapy are possible which can interfere with our everyday activities. It can be detrimental to the therapy if we are forced to rush off somewhere, or if we are not totally committed to the therapeutic process. Therapy cannot be beneficial if we are feeling pressured.
Depending on the individual, what is felt ranges from very powerful sensations to no sensation at all. Some people feel a tingling, burning or prickling sensation, coldness, draft, pressure, momentary relief, fatigue or drowsiness, uncontrollable laughter or crying, a floating sensation in the extremities, body movement, dizziness or vertigo. Whether or not a patient feels something during therapy, is not an indication of the success of the therapy, because everybody is unique and therefore they react in unique ways.
No, only a medical specialist can decide about discontinuing the medication.
After 15 to 30 days, depending on the condition treated, one can expect results that can be objectively measured by means of clinical medicine. Sometimes in the first 15 days after therapy symptoms increase, or a sudden deterioration occurs, which is a crisis that signifies a strong bodily reaction to the intensified activities of a regenerated immune system.
Therapy can be repeated in consultation with a therapist and in accordance with other therapeutic forms that are applied.
Yes, but it is important for the patient to personally commit to the decision to stop drug or alcohol misuse.
All diseases can be treated successfully. With some diseases, the objective success will be complete recovery, while with others, symptoms of the disease will be alleviated, or the result will be greater independence for the patient or arrest the development of the disease, depending on a number of factors that are not directly related to Biotherapy. We don’t treat medical conditions with psychosis or contagious diseases.
Yes, except schizophrenia and other mental diseases with psychosis. Patients with mental diseases must be accompanied.
With genetic diseases, we can only maintain symptoms with treatments on a monthly or a bi-monthly basis.
Yes, children of any age can be treated.
Yes. If the patient is vulnerable or being cared for by somebody else, then they will need to be accompanied.
Yes, it is possible for educational or research purposes and if you accompany someone else for some objective medical reason.
There is no price enforced for the therapy. At the end of the therapy session, an anonymous donation is made to the therapist.
Biotherapy is not based around the traditional concepts of the Life Force or Life energy like Qi or Prana. These concepts belong to Vitalism which was dropped in biology almost 100 years ago. Traditional concepts of the Life Force don’t have any scientific evidence to support its existence. Also, modern biophysics, biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, and genetics operate in a realm of the modern understanding of the world which is evidence-based knowledge. Qi, Prana, Pneuma and Life Force are spiritual concepts that are not biological or physical. The etymology of the words Qi, Prana, and Spirit is the same, the breath.
No, we are based on a very modern approach to bioenergy therapy. Chakras and Auras don’t exist in a biological realm. They are only interesting mental concepts developed as a part of the New Age movement. To put it in a simple way, there is no Chakra and Aura as physical entities. They are just concepts.
Nothing in the classical sense where the healer is considered to be more spiritual than others. Medicine is a science of the mind, body and social well-being. Spirituality is a concept of the world that has many different faces and understandings. Medicine and spirituality are two completely different subjects. In some special cases, spiritual thinking can be beneficial for the patients, for example in hospice, pain management, palliative care, psychological work, etc.
No, this is a misconception that has roots in spiritism and animism. Energy is not bad or good. Energy is benevolent. Sometimes people use the word “energy” to express emotional states which are purely subjective and have nothing to do with term energy in modern physics.
Nothing, it is another misconception where a few psychological phenomena were thought to be the sixth sense. Unfortunately, humans don’t have magneto-receptors and electro-receptors beyond 5 senses which are developed due to our evolutionary needs to protect and survive.
No, anyone can do energy therapy. Healing is not a supernatural ‘special power’ that somebody possesses, but an application of knowledge and skills.
