WBV is increasingly being used for physical therapy: Sports franchises and top athletes use WBV for athletic training but also because the athletes heal faster from injuries, and are less likely to be injured in the first place as their joints are stronger. Top physical therapy centers use WBV in addition to other modalities. Vibrant Health has seen many dramatic and rapid improvements using WBV with clients with a wide range of joint and movement issues including arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, pulled and strained muscles, weakness, range of motion, flexibility, and other issues. See Vibrant Health’s website for testimonials. Why Whole Body Vibration is effective physical therapy Research has shown that Human Growth Hormone (HGH) levels increase with WBV up to 150%. HGH levels typically fall with age and it is your major anti-aging, regeneration,… [Read More]
How whole body vibration (WBV) helps you lose weight: WBV is an intense workout (see earlier post Increase Explosive Muscle Strength, April 4, 2012) and like any workout this will increase your metabolic rate so you burn more calories and lose weight more easily – but the time required to achieve the same results is much less. Ten minutes of WBV = one hour of conventional weight training. WBV raises serotonin levels in your brain, a powerful antidepressant effect (see post Powerful Antidepressant! April 12, 2012). With your mental state happier and calmer it is much easier for you to eat properly and exercise. Everybody knows what they should do to lose weight, the problem is actually doing it. WBV helps you be in that calm and relaxed, but energized mental state where you can achieve your goals…. [Read More]
The workout of champions: Whole body vibration (WBV) was originally developed for Olympic athletes in Russia in the 1970’s. Numerous research studies have shown that on a powerful vibration machine 10 minutes of whole body vibration = 1 hour of conventional weight training in terms of increasing explosive muscle strength, bone density, metobolic rate (weight loss), flexibility, balance and coordination. Now used by most professional sports teams and elite competitors around the world. For examples check the “Whole Body Vibration Users” section of Vibrant Health’s WBV page. Almost anybody can use WBV. It is very easy to adapt workouts to any level, in fact if you just stand on the machine, which feels like a massage, you will still be getting stronger. How WBV rapidly increases explosive muscle strength: WBV is an intensive workout. Vibration… [Read More]
Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is a natural, safe, rapid, non-addictive and legal way to increase serotonin levels: What is serotonin? A critical neurotransmitter in your brain that makes you calm and happy and helps you to sleep. This is the same neurotransmitter that prescription antidepressant drugs effect, as well as illegal drugs such as Ecstasy. Research studies measuring increased serotonin levels have only been done in animals because brain tissue samples must be taken. Anecdotal evidence for humans is very strong. Hundreds of my clients report very rapid and dramatic improvements in mood, energy, and sleep within days of beginning regular vibration sessions. Thousands more report immediate mood improvement (as well as pain reduction which will be covered in a future blog post) after free demos at health shows where I exhibit Body Vibes. How to get the best… [Read More]
Whole body vibration has been proven in numerous research studies to increase bone density: Studies on mice, sheep and turkeys have shown dramatic results increasing bone density up to 30% from 6 months of daily vibration (with simultaneous corresponding decreases in fat). Studies with people have shown slower but steady rates of bone density increases. A likely reason for this difference in results is that the animals are usually young and healthy (able to respond and heal faster) and eating controlled diets with all the proper nutrients and minerals included. Human studies focus on older people where there is a high incidence of osteoporosis or osteopenia, and people often do not eat optimum diets. How vibration works to increase bone density: It is the contraction of muscle fibers where they attach to bone… [Read More]
Michael Koran, of Cambridge Community Television interviews Becca about her memoir, Beyond the Great Abyss, and is alternately shocked and enthused by her revealing and wild story of personal transformation, enlightenment and redemption.

In Chapter 10 of Becky’s memoir, Beyond the Great Abyss, the mystery of Victor’s tortured personality is revealed. Twenty-five years before Becky met Victor, he was falsely accused of sexually abusing his young daughter. Found innocent in a court of law, his reputation was nonetheless destroyed along with his career, family life, honor, livelihood, friendships and connections in the community, etc…. Rage and heartbreak compete with a loving, sensitive soul for his sanity. Is there tragedy in your life that has caused heartbreak (for you or someone close to you)? How have you dealt with this trauma? Has it left lasting scars that still affect you, and your life, to this day?
As Chapter 9 of her memoir, Beyond the Great Abyss opens, Becky is dating Victor, a charismatic James Bond type character. But like Sean Connery, Victor has a dark side. Sean Connery has been accused of abuse by his ex-wife, and buried rage from a devastating injustice many years earlier percolates deep inside Victor. Becky is advised by her cousins to, “Run for your life… these guys never change,” but she is not so sure of that, and not willing to give him up. Her own experience of transformation through energy therapies and life experiences has given her a deep belief in the ability of people to grow and change, especially when aided by homeopathy and whole body vibration. What do you think leads to personal growth? What helps or hinders it? Can… [Read More]
Money. Always an issue, especially these days, and often a focal point of contention in personal relationships. Becky is now dating Victor, who while rich still watches every penny (see Chapter 8 of her memoir, Beyond the Great Abyss). Problems ensue as Victor, traumatized by an earlier disaster, gives “cheap” new meaning in his efforts to control his life, and Becky does not feel valued. What is your relationship to money? We all need some money, but beyond the minimum, what does money mean to you? Security? Status? Control? Over your life, or over others? Do you use money as a weapon? Does money get mixed up with love in your life? (See Workbook Introduction for how to use this workbook, which is being posted on this blog, one chapter… [Read More]
Now (in Chapter 7 of her memoir, Beyond the Great Abyss), there are two men in Becky’s increasingly complicated life, Ricky and Victor. This is not a good idea with a paranoid crocodile, as Victor has been seen symbolically by Becky’s intuitive counselor. Becky’s father however, has now also suddenly become highly intuitive, and he provides wise advice. This sudden transformation occurs because of a medical trauma where Becky’s father loses his logical left brain function, which allows his natural right brain intuitive ability to surface uninhibited by the critical, disbelieving left brain. Dad tells Becky, “There is a very susceptible young girl, but there is also a brilliant 12 year old to take care of her.” These are two sides of Becky, with the older version able to stand back and be more objective. This is a useful skill for all of… [Read More]
