It usually requires only 1 to 7 sessions for the body to normalize (achieve homeostasis) to a stressor after a BIE session. In most cases, homeostasis can be achieved after the first visit. However, depending on the stress level of the client, amount of bodily toxins and the strength of the person’s immune system or excess exposure to electromagnetic fields, the others may require a few visits for the body to normalize to those stressors. Once homeostasis is achieved, there is usually no need for subsequent or yearly visits for the same stressors. Some factors that could affect the length of treatment required: 1. Your Level of Stress a. Psychological – depression, boredom, anxiety, financial worries, marital problems, moving to new address, loss of employment, death of a loved one, weight gain, discord in families b. Physical – injury, accidents, surgery, illness, strenuous exercise, dehydration, working/living near high voltage power lines or electronic equipment, allergies, weight gain   2. The Strength of Your Immune System You may have acquired a considerable level of toxins as a result of poor eating habits such as: coffee, tea, alcohol, sodas, sweets, excessive processed food consumption, smoking, prescription drugs, chlorinated drinking water, the level of yeast (candida albicans) and air pollution. These toxins force your immune system to work harder to detoxify your body. In doing so, the immune system will be less effective in maintaining homeostasis.   3. Your Body’s Enzyme Levels Our diet consists of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Your pancreas produces enzymes called amylase, lipase and protease that aid in the digestive process of these foods. As we age, our pancreas may not produce enough of these enzymes required for adequate digestion and will require the immune system to compensate by lending their enzymes for the digestive process. It’s also important to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables that contain a natural plant enzyme (cellulase) for proper digestion of plant fibre known as cellulose.   4. Your level of Hydration Dehydration can be detrimental to your health for many reasons. In order for your body to normalize to stressors after a BIE session, proper hydration is essential. Studies suggest 8 – 8oz. glasses of good quality water should be consumed daily. Homeopathic remedies are prepared through a process called potentization, which involves successive dilution and vigorous shaking or succussion. This process is believed to enhance the medicinal properties of the substance while minimizing any potential toxic effects. The principle of the minimum dose recognizes that it is not the quantity of the substance that is important but rather its ability to stimulate the vital force or the body’s innate healing mechanisms.
