Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bio-Touch™?
Bio-Touch™ is a simple, light-touch, healing modality. The first two fingers of each hand are used to touch specific points on the body. The combination of correct points and light touch helps stimulate the body’s inherent healing ability. There is no pressure or manipulation of the body – simply a “butterfly-like” touch.

How does Bio-Touch™ work?
We do not know how Bio-Touch™ works. Research shows it reduces stress and pain, and regulates blood pressure. It raises the levels of Interleukin-12 in the body – something your body needs to help kill cancer cells. Research “proves” Bio-Touch™ to be an effective healing modality – though it has not been able to show how or why this technique works. There are many theories as to why it works, but nothing is known for sure. Since we do not know, we aren’t going to make something up. It just works!

How does Bio-Touch™ relate to other healing modalities (Massage, Reiki, Acupressure, Acupuncture)?
Bio-Touch™ is a complement to any healing modality. The following are the most common modalities asked about in relation to Bio-Touch™:

Massage is the treatment and practice of soft tissue manipulation with physical, functional, and in some cases psychological purposes and goals.  With Bio-Touch™, there is NO soft tissue manipulation, you cannot harm anyone and there is no attempt to diagnose or recommend.

Reiki is a spiritual practice sometimes using touch and sometimes practiced with the hands above the body. There are different levels of ability and the technique involves using a “universal life-force energy” to induce a healing effect. Bio-Touch™ is not a spiritual practice and there is no focus on using or moving “energy,” it is simply touch. There are no levels of ability with Bio-Touch™. If one has just learned the technique, that person is just as effective as someone who has been practicing Bio-Touch™ for years. One would only become more proficient in the knowledge of the specific sets of points with time.

Acupuncture is a technique of inserting and manipulating fine filiform needles into specific points on the body to relieve pain or for therapeutic purposes.  In Acupressure, physical pressure is applied to acupuncture points by the hand, elbow, or with various devices. According to traditional Chinese medical theory, acupuncture points are situated on meridians along which qi, the vital energy, flows. Bio-Touch™, though it has specific points, is not based on acupuncture points or meridians. There is no use of needles or pressure with Bio-Touch™.

Bio-Touch™ is not a substitution for your chosen medical care.
