A COMPLEMENTARY, ALTERNATIVE PRACTICE.
Magnotherapy is the application of a magnetic field to the body for health benefits.
These benefits may be specific (e.g. wound healing) or more general (e.g. increased energy). Magnotherapy is considered by many as 'pseudoscientific' due to both physical and biological implausibility - except by those of us who have actually tried it!
Following years of research, a new book, Magnotherapy the pHacts, has been written by scientist MVDr Vladislav Vaclavek. The book offers a scientific explanation as to why people and animals are benefiting from the use of magnetic therapy.
In addition, his theory offers a rationale as to why so many varied results are abtained with the numerous magnetic devices available, i.e. from significant improvements in quality of life to abject failure.
Perhaps more importantly, it suggests how you can greatly increase the likelihood of success with magnet therapy, by combining the lastest magnetic technology with a proper pH balance in your diet. Interested readers would be advised to obtain a copy of this book.
Make up you own mind.
If you are considering magnotherapy and want to know more, read "Magnotherapy - the pHacts", one of the most authoritative and simply written publications about this subject. Recommended Retail Price: £4.00 |
The purpose of this section is to answer some of the basic questions that can be raised when considering magnet therapy or a nutritional supplement.
A simple explanation of MV Dr Vaclavek's theory.
Our body has evolved to maintain and heal itself and to do so optimally requires a balanced input of fuel (food, water and oxygen). Too much, too little, or polluted forms of any of these three will have a dreadful effect on the body's ability to repair itself and perform at its best. The blood is instrumental in this process.
Some indications of a self maintenance programme not working as well as it might could be: lack of enery, injuries taking a long time to heal, pain in joints, etc.
MV Dr Vaclavek states much of the body's stress, inflammation and pain is due to an excess of lactic acid, produced by the body, causing an imbalance in pH levels (Acidosis). He asserts that to help the body maintain a natural balance requires a combination of the appropriate magnet technology and a proper pH balance in your diet. This increases energy levels and aids recovery.
Why can't I use any old magnet?
Magnotherapy (magnet therapy) has been used to improve health in the Far East and other areas of the world for thousands of years. Physiotherapists in many hospitals use magnetic fields as an aid to improving health and reducing pain. Levels of success have varied greatly dependent upon many factors including: the strength and type of magnetic technology employed, the methods of measurement, the condition being treated, etc.
MV Dr Vaclavek's studies led him to examine many of the available magnotherapy products and he concluded that the ideal magnetic field should comprise, not only field strength, but a combination of fields (poles) to have maximum influence on the molecules within the body fluids. The product that met these conditions perfectly was BIOFLOW, with it unique C.R.P. (Central Reverse Polarity).
If Bioflow is so good, why should I need Nutriflow?
It may well be that you don't. However, while MV Dr Vaclavek accepts that BIOFLOW is producing excellent results, and improving quality of life for hundreds of thousands of people and animals throughout the world, he stresses that we could be getting even better results by using a specially formulated electrolyte and mineral supplement - NUTRIFLOW. This combination would be working on our bodies from both the outside (BIOFLOW) and the inside (NUTRIFLOW). We need the correct balance in our bodies to ensure a healthy life.
Can either Bioflow or Nutriflow do me any harm?
BIOFLOW products are perfectly safe, but should not be worn by anyone fitted with a heart pacemaker. All ingredients of NUTRIFLOW are at a maximum 20% of R.D.A. (Recommended Daily Allowance) and each one is a calculated and necessary part of the formulation. They are all registered in the American Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients. As with any consumable product, people with special dietary requirements (e.g. low sodium/insulin dependent diabetics) should check the ingredients of NUTRIFLOW before consuming. If in any doubt, please consult a qualified medical practioner.
What do Bioflow and Nutriflow actually do?
MV Dr Vaclavek states that their prime function is to optimise the electrically sensitive Potassium/Sodium pumps within the body. They affect the electro conductivity of each cell. This is an essential function for all mammals and relies on three minerals: potassium, sodium and calcium. He further suggests that NUTRIFLOW and BIOFLOW precisely mimic the natural flush of wastes and toxins from cells, performed by the potassium/sodium pump. In doing so, it can increase energy levels and aid recovery rate from illnesses and exertion.
I already take mineral supplements, why should I take Nutriflow?
The availability of colloidal minerals is very important for health but is not the function of NUTRIFLOW. You can continue to take other supplements but we suggest not within two hours of NUTRIFLOW as this could reduce its effectiveness.
How and when should I take Nutriflow?
On a daily basis and we would recommend immidiately after, or within one hour of a meal. Simply mix one scoop in a glass of water and stir. NUTRIFLOW is activated by water and we would suggest you drink whilst still 'fizzing'. According to taste, you can add pure orange juice. Some people can find their bowel movements become 'looser' and others can become a little constipated. In either case, we suggest you drink a couple of glasses of water immediately before taking NUTRIFLOW. If the problem persists, then rather than take a whole dose in one go, mix half a dose twice a day. FOR BEST RESULTS, IN ADDITION TO TAKING NUTRIFLOW, DRINK AT LEAST SIX GLASSES OF WATER PER DAY.
Isn't Nutriflow the same as other Isotonic energy drinks used to increase the speed of recovery after sports?
No. The benefits of magnet therapy are the result of a stabilisation of pH, which is triggered by magnetic energy. Diet and electrolyte minerals are important in controlling pH. Most body stress and inflammation, together with the resultant pain, is caused by an imbalance in pH levels of different tissues of the body. NUTRIFLOW is a powdered electrolyte/mineral supplement specifically formulated to optimise the effects of BIOFLOW and aid the balance of the body's pH.
What conditions can Bioflow and Nutriflow help with and why?
It is not possible to state any particular condition that we can guarantee a positive result (what product can?) However, a wide range of conditions cause the body to produce excess lactic acid, which has a detrimental effect on the body's pH balance. This triggers the brain to respond as if experiencing pain. Helping the body maintain a natural pH balance can help alleviate a number of conditions.
Rest assured that if you do try BIOFLOW and do not feel it is helping, you can return the product within 90 days for a refund of 85% of the purchase price (15% is retained to refurbish the product and to cover administration costs). As you will appreciate NUTRIFLOW, being consumable, does not carry this refund policy. Your statutory rights are not affected.

These are red blood cells. They look like a doughnut without the hold and carry oxygen to the body and remove carbon dioxide from the body. There are about 5 million per cubic millimeter of blood.

This picture shows a "coinroll formation". The red blood cells are stuckstuck together which greatly diminishes the free surface of each blood cell which can absorb oxygen and nourishment. This sticky substance is 'fibrin'.

This picture shows the results of magnetic treatment. Each blood cell is free to absorb the maximum amount of oxygen from the lungs, carry it to the body tissues, exchange it for carbon dioxide and deliver that back to the lungs.
Magnotherapy and Healing
Magnotherapy has been successfully used to help promote connective tissue healing and repair, musculoskeletal pain relief, bone repair and the acceleration of the healing of fractures - problems commonly experienced by sports people.
Thermography (heat) trials have shown an increase in blood flow when magnets are used.
Scintigraphy scanning (which measures the metabolic uptake of an injected substance) has shown a 30% increase in the rate of substance uptake in the soft tissue,and in the bone of a leg, treated with magnets.
Magnotherapy and Pain Relief
Magnotherapy can help to reduce pain which has not been effectively controlled by medication.
In a double-blind, placebo controlled study, patients were treated with magnets applied to the skin. A statistically significant reduction in lower back pain was observed. The pain relief was significantly greater than the placebo group where unmagnetised pads were used.
With more and more success stories hiting the press and both the acceptance of, and demand for, magnet therapy increasing, it is no surprise that more and more companies are entering the market place in an attempt to emulate the success enjoyed by Ecoflow with their Bioflow® products.
The quality of these companies and their products will vary wildly. Some could be quite good - others very poor. As with most things in life though remember, "You get what you pay for".
If someone is seriously considering purchasing a magnetic therapy product, we would suggest they ask the following questions:-
What product will give me the best possible chance of getting a good result? The very best form of magnetic therapy is Electro Magnetic Therapy as used by the Health Service. The problem is that it is very expensive to purchase and only works when it is plugged in to an electricity supply. There are lots of ordinary magnetic products about, but Bioflow®, is the only range of devices that use a unique and patented 'central reverse polarity' magnetic system, which mimics the more expensive Health Service equipment at a fraction of the cost. Obviously with Bioflow®, we cannot guarantee success but we honestly believe you will be giving yourself the best possible chance.

Is it safe? Insist that is has been accepted by the Medical Devices Agency as a 'Medical Device'. This is a legal requirement and Bioflow® was the first magnetic healthcare product in the UK to be recognised by the M.D.A. as a Class 1 Medical Device.
Is the product and company genuine? Ecoflow Ltd is a nine-year old British Company.

In 1999 were recognised by the Sunday Times as one of the Top 100 fastest growing privately owned companies in the UK.


They are recognised as an ISO 9001 quality organisation.
Bioflow® products carry the coveted CE mark (Conformite Europeene). This confirms that our products are disigned and manufactured in compliance with UK regualations to an approved standard recognised throughout the EEC.
What guarantees to I get? Read the small print and check the true guarantee you are being offered. Each and every Bioflow® carries a 90-day money back refund policy - 12 months guarantee against faulty workmanship and a Lifetime Guarantee on its magnetic properties.
Is there an exchange and refurbishment facility? We have a range of products and you can exchange one for another to see what works best for you. We also offer a unique refurbishment facility which means that, at any time in the future, if your Bioflow® gets a little bit the worse for wear, you can return it and for half of the original purchase price it will be replaced with a brand new or equivalent product.
Some companies claim that their unipolar magnets are better because Bioflow's bipolar (or C.R.P.) magnets include a positive pole which has unwanted side-effects. Is this true? It matters NO ONE JOT which pole is used, as every molecule of every magnet has both North and South poles, and every molecule affected by a magnet adopts both North and South poles in response to the magnetic field. They cannot be separated. Every magnet is bipolar. It is a physical impossibility to make a magnet with only one pole. This 'North Pole heals; South Pole harms' rubbish was invented to con the gullible and sadly, several dim-wits have repeated this crackpot theory in print, lending it credibility.
Here's how you know it's not true:-
CENTRAL REVERSE POLARITY (C.R.P.)® magnets are superior to any other static magnet because they are specifically designed to move electrons. As the moving of electrons is the fundermental action of magnotherapy, which enables the body's pH levels to change, it is clear why it is important to choose a high quality C.R.P.® magnet. Bioflow® is a Class 1 Medical Device manufactured by Ecoflow and is the ONLY magnotherapy product on the market with a patented Central Reverse Polarity magnet. Don't be fooled by cheap imitations. Bioflow® is used and recommended by an increasing number of Doctors, Physiotherapists, Sports Trainers and Veterinary Surgeons.
Central Reverse Polarity® was adopted as the magnetic field system for Bioflow because it imitates the effects of the pulsating electro-magnotherapy equipment used in hospitals by physiotherapists. Why a pulsating field? Because it brings about much quicker healing of injuries than a non-pulsating field. And, miraculously, Bioflow's C.R.P. mimics the pulsating effect of the mega-expensive hospital equipment as the bloodstream passes through the alternating polarities of the main C.R.P. module.
What's more, the rapid and substantial health benefits people and animals derive from Bioflow's C.R.P. field system are permanent for as long as the user continues to wear their Bioflow. The alternating, pulsating effect of the C.R.P. module is something that the body never becomes immune to, unlike the fields of non-C.R.P. magnets which often lose their effectiveness within a few weeks or months. A Bioflow will give benefits for life.
The little RELAY MAGNET on the opposite side of the wrist increases Bioflow's effectiveness by 100%. Yes, remarkably, it distorts the field of the main CRP magnet module and pulls it right through the wrist, so reaching many more blood vessels and other tissues. The result, according to all the feedback from customers we have collected over the years, is to double the treatment's effectiveness. I would recommend the relay-magnet Bioflows for everybody, irrespective of age or condition.
Of course, if someone can afford no more than £35, then the entry-level 'Classic' is the right product for them. And for some people the Classic works well and provides an adequate level of treatment, but I would always tell them that they can upgrade to the double-strength Bioflow at any time in the future if they find they need something stronger.
The 'Pirouette' and the new 'Ascot' achieves the same effect as the relay-magnet Bioflows, but in a slightly different way. The two large-ish CRP modules in the Pirouette form an arc of magnetic field between them when worn on the wrist. This arc reaches deep into the wrist's tissues and blood vessels and some report a slightly bigger effect from a Pirouette than with the relay-magnet Bioflows.
The 'Duo/Duet/Monet' feature two small magnet modules which don't appear to form the same arc of field as the Pirouette. Feedback suggests that some people get a result similar to the Classic, some get a result closer to the relay-magnet Bioflows. It all depends on how good the fit is.
We make no claims about Bioflow® and any medical conditions, but our customers tell us that they believe our magnetic wristbands and bracelets have helped with these problems:-
If you have any of these problems then Bioflow® magnotherapy may be worth trying. Our money back guarantee means you cannot lose.
Can you afford NOT to try it?
Unlike drugs and many other forms of treatment, there are no known harmful side effects from Bioflow.
Bioflow is perfectly safe for use by any person or animal, although the magnetic field may affect pacemakers if held very close - for this reason, it is not recommended for those fitted with pacemakers.
An independent scientifically peer reviewed clinical trial concludes that Bioflow® magnetic bracelets may reduce pain in osteoarthritis.
The British Medical Journal have published the results of a two year trial sponsored by the Arthritis Research Campaign into the use of Bioflow® on osteoarthritis of the knee and hip. The report documented this peer reviewed clinical trial in full. The BMJ insist of a high level of integrity in any trial they publish and this is the first peer reviewed trial in the world directly relating to specialist static magnets in regard to pain relief.
The Bioflow® magnet uses a unique pattern of magnetism that ensures the body is subjected to a varying magnetic field simulating that produced by electronic equipment.
Not only is Bioflow registered as a Class 1 Medical Device, it is patented and no similar device exists. The magnetic field created which we call Central Reverse Polarity or 'C.R.P.®' is also unique and this descriptive term is trademarked in Europe.

Do They Work?
They are obviously not a 'magic cure all', but we are finding amazing results both with people and animals (destroying the myth that it must be all 'in the mind'). The vast majority of our customers report improvements ranging from small but worthwhile alleviation of pain to incredible changes in the quality of their lives.
From users' experiences, the Bioflow can help numerous illnesses as it restores the body's natural pH balance wherever healing is needed. Some people have reported that it has improved minor illnesses which the user did not seek help for as well as the actual illness they bought it for. For example, if you bought it for severe back pain, you may find that other lesser problems like allergies, fatigue, P.M.T., a sleep disorder or snoring may also be reduced as an added bonus.
Are There Any Fitting Instructions?
It is not necessary to wear these products strapped closely to your wrist.
All Bioflow models are water-resistant - not water-proof. It would, therefore, be advisable to take it off before bathing or swimming.
BIOSPORT & CLASSIC: Wear around the wrist with the magnet module on the inside of the wrist.
BIOSPORT: To remove the magnet module, first turn the sweatband inside out and place it on a flat surface. Hold the edge of the blue disk and turn it in the direction of the 'Open' arrow. Simply lift the disk from the magnetic unit and apply slight pressure to remove the unit. Reverse this procedure to re-install the module, which should be worn with the Atom Logo on the outside.
ACTIVE, ADVENTURE, ELITE, EXECUTIVE, EXPLORER 2, PIROUETTE: The magnet module may be worn on the inside or outside of the wrist.
FINESSE: Wear loosely on the wrist. The magnet module may be worn at any point around the wrist.
DUET, DUO & MONET: Designed to be worn loosely with the magnet modules on the inside of the wrist. When fitting or removing, do not apply undue pressure to the magnet modules. Please note the Duo, not being plated inside, may produce a naturally occurring green or black deposit on the skin. This is due to the deposition of copper. Simply wash this from the skin with soap and water.
ELITE: To adjust,
To securely fasten, place the inner hook over the bar before clicking the clasp shut.
EXECUTIVE: The first time you fit an Executive, lift the metal holder with the 'Bioflow' Logo so that it can move freely along the leather strap, and put the pin in the required hold before snapping the metal quick-release device shut. After fitting, you can remove the Executive by simply releasing the strap from the leather holders and pulling on the end to activate the quick-release device. It can then be fitted again without adjustment by snapping the quick-release device into place. Please make sure that the hinge is not bent back on itself when closing or opening the quick-release device, as this can cause permanent damage to the buckle mechanism.
PIROUETTE: An extra link can be provided to fit all sizes. To lengthen the bracelet, simply open the clasp of the extra section and fasten the clasp around the end of the undone braclet, making sure that the small bar fits flush into the groove of the clasp as it is closed.
How Long Do They Take To Work?
Improvements will normally be noticed within hours or days, but as you will appreciate all our bodies are different and thus we achieve different results - some people will take longer than others will. Occasionally, especially with more severe pain, it may take the full 3 months trial period for significant benefits to be felt, so PLEASE BE PATIENT. The vast majority of our customers report improvements ranging from small but worthwhile alleviation of pain to incredible changes in the quality of their life.
Very occasionally, a customer will report dizziness, nausea or even 'flu-like symptoms' when first wearing their Bioflow. This is generally very rare and will soon pass. They are nothing to worry about but can be disturbing. It is actually the start of your Bioflow going to work to detoxify your body. The severity depends on the amount of toxins in your body which need to be removed. If you experience any of these symptoms, simply remove your Bioflow until the discomfort passes and gradually increase the time you wear the Bioflow. We also strongly recommend that you drink at least six glasses of water per day to allow the filtration of toxins. Some people wear their Bioflow only at night for the first few days to enable their body to get used to the change without experiencing any discomfort. After a few days the 'withdrawal' symptoms should subside and the Bioflow can then be worn as desired.
What If It Doesn't Help Me?
If you feel that your Bioflow may not seem as effective as when you first put it on, remember that the mind gets used to conditions very quickly. Think back to the terrible pain you felt before you wore the Bioflow. Once you felt better, it was easy to forget just how bad the pain was! If this happens, take it off for a couple of hours until the pain returns - then put it back on!!
If you or your pet are unfortunate enough not to experience some form of relief within our standard 90-Day Money Back Guarantee period, you are most welcome to pass it on to someone else you know with aches and pains - it might just work for them. Ultimately, you may need to return it for a refund. (If you do eventually have to return your Bioflow, then a small amount of 15% of the purchase price will be deducted to cover administration, etc.)
Which Bioflow Should I Try?
The following pages in this website illustrate the range of products available. However, customers often ask us which Bioflow we would recommend.
Experience has shown that for people, although the Classic is effective in over 80% of cases, in some instances they only provide partial relief. If your budget will extend to an Explorer 2, Duo, Duet, Monet, Executive or evan an Elite, Finesse, Pirouette or Ascot (each with a deeper, more penetrating field) then added benefit might be obtained.
For extreme cases, we recommend the Boost Belt Kit in which you can have up to six (three pairs of two) very powerful magnetic modules and is designed to be applied directly to the area of discomfort. This product provides the greatest benefit to where it is needed most.
How Should I Wear a Bioflow?
We recommend that if wearing any of the wristbands, you keep the main magnet module on the underside of the wrist where there is a good flow of blood near the surface. Products with a Relay Magnet (Explorer 2, Executive, Elite, Pirouette, Finesse) may be worn with the module on either side of the wrist. We suggest you wear the Bioflow continually until you feel a benefit and then either during the day or at night. It is whatever you find the most effective.
Alternatively, on a more temporary basis, they can be applied directly on, or close to, the point of discomfort with surgical tape or a tubigrip bandage. We have customers who wear their Bioflow on their wrist during the day and tucked behind their knee or around their ankle at night. Some people have found that the unit works better on one wrist than the other, so please experiment to find what works best for you.
If you feel that your Bioflow has helped you pain but you still get pain from time to time when you over-do things, you may just need a 'boost' of extra relief. The versatile 'Boost Belts Kit' can be applied almost anywhere on the body to concentrate extra pain relief in a specific point or area, e.g. all three belts can be worn on different parts of the body with the twin magnet modules on each belt, or one belt with all three modules in one position.
How Can I Almost Guarantee Success?
In addition to wearing your Bioflow, drink at least six glasses of magnetised water a day and one glass of our Nutriflow supplement.
Nutriflow has been formulated exclusively to complement the Bioflow in assisting the body to heal and maintain itself. You will appreciate that, as this is a comsumable product, we cannot offer the same money back guarantee.
The combination of Bioflow and Nutriflow provide the greatest likelihood of a successful outcome.
What Harm can They Do?
All our products are perfectly save but Bioflow magnetic products should not be worn by anyone fitted with a heart pacemaker or any other implant that could be affected by a magnetic field. There is no substitute for sound medical advice and we recommend that you should consult a doctor in you are, or have been, receiving any treatment for a particular condition and have any doubts about the use of a Bioflow. Do not place near or next to any item that could be affected by a magnetic field, e.g. audio tapes, computer discs, compasses, watches, etc.
Obviously, if you have any special dietary requirements then please check the ingredients of Nutriflow before consuming.
How Can I Clean My Bioflow and its Strap?
Metal products should be wiped clean with a soft, lint-free cloth. All other wristbands can be wiped using a damp cloth. For best results, the Biosport wristbands should be dry cleaned, but they can be hand washed or machine washed at cool temperatures. The module must be removed before cleaning. Wash dark colours separately. The sweatbands should be washed alone for the first few washes.
We look forward to hearing from you and do hope it helps.
