When I was in my twenties, I spent seven years bedridden with chronic fatigue.

During the first year or two, I tried virtually every major therapy prescribed by conventional medicine, yet I was still deteriorating. Doctors had no clue what was wrong with me aside from identifying some abnormal blood markers, which they had no explanation or solution for.

Next came the nutrition route, which included a barrage of tests and diets that ended up making me even more exhausted.

I’d experienced two major failures in trying to get myself back to normal.

After four years, I really started to wonder if I’d ever recover. At that point, I had no clue where to go next. All I wanted was to be able to get to the root cause of my illness and regain my independence. I didn’t want to be stuck at home, a drain on society and my parents; I wanted to restore my energy — I wanted to just have a life.

From Rock Climbing to Rock Bottom

The years leading up to the illness, ages 18-21, were the complete opposite of what I experienced with chronic fatigue.

I was an avid rock climber and spent as much of my time as possible climbing and mountaineering. I took frequent trips to Scotland to climb its highest peak, Ben Nevis. During summers, I would go to the Alps and spend two or three months climbing up various mountains around the Chamonix area and enjoying life.

However, during my third year at university, there were three instances that catalyzed my descent into illness.

First, while I was climbing the Alps, I came down with glandular fever and ended up in bed for several weeks. Being a hedonistic and headstrong 21-year old, I pressed on.

I studied hard through my last year of university and enjoyed myself as much as I could. Yet all the while, I felt an undeniable fatigue that I couldn’t shake — and I certainly didn’t connect it to the fever I’d had over the summer.

I ended up going back to Ben Nevis over the Christmas holidays to do some ice climbing. Unfortunately, ice and climbing don’t always mix.

While climbing, the ice shattered beneath my axe and I ended up falling off the mountain and fracturing my spine  –  an injury I didn’t even know about until two years later when I was x-rayed for an unrelated accident.

After that Christmas, I went back to finish my last six months of university and was becoming increasingly tired and in an increasing amount of pain. I struggled to get through exams. Nevertheless, after finishing, I was able to land my first job in London.

By that time, I was so sick I ended up having to take 20 days off work during my first two months. Naturally, I was fired.

Being very headstrong at the time, I thought I could heal myself by going back outside to the Alps.

I spent another three months mountaineering. I grew increasingly tired until I got to the point of staying in a tent for over a week living on dried bananas and water.

Eventually, I managed to summon the energy to drive back to England, pulling the car over every hour or so to take a rest before continuing on.

Once back in England, I re-enrolled in university for an MBA degree and quickly realized that I was in no condition to finish on track. I took an extra year to complete the program and ended up doing so in a wheelchair.

Overcoming Extreme Fatigue with Bioenergetics

After two years, I was bed-bound. After four years, the same. I ended up bedridden for seven whole years.

Friends were graduating and starting their careers, and I was constrained to my house – mostly my room & bed –  and completely reliant on my parents to drive me anywhere, even to doctors.

Imagine for a minute what it feels like to go from climbing mountains to not being able to climb out of bed. Knowing that 80% of chronic fatigue sufferers of over two years never recover, it really does feel like your life is over.

Now, when you’re lying in bed, you have an awful lot of time to think. So, I ended up asking myself two fundamental questions, which ended up leading to these two main ideas that I’ve dedicated my life to:

1. Where does energy come from?

2. And what if I could work out the root cause of low energy and restore my energy from home?

These were strange questions to ask at the time, because how on earth could I work that out with no money, no scientific knowledge, no business experience, and no energy or ability myself to get any of this done?

I was just simply thinking, “If I want to restore my energy, then I should study energy.”

What these questions did, though, was give me a purpose. They drove me to create the easiest, most effective, and educative health platform so that others like myself could work out what was wrong, regain their independence, and create a life.

My pursuit of answers led me to discover the term “bioenergetics,” a field that studies the detection and correction of energy in living systems. There is a conventional branch of bioenergetics largely focused on ATP production in the cells. There is also a broader view that considers many more aspects of the body’s energy system, and I was introduced to Professor Peter Fraser, who was this view’s leading scientist at the time. He had spent the past 25 years mapping out the energy and information systems of the human body-field.

Sometimes in life, truly incredible things can happen, and meeting Peter Fraser was that moment for me. He gave me the answers to my two fundamental questions and helped me to restore my health by correcting the distortions in my body’s wireless communication system (which we now call the human body-field).

The fundamental idea is this: in order to work out what’s wrong, you need to access the body’s control system –  or its wireless, cellular communication system – and be able to read and correct it.

Really, there’s nothing miraculous about this beyond the miracle of the body itself. If you help to correct its control systems and activate its self-healing mechanisms, it will do the rest.

Uncovering the Truth About the Body

Biochemistry has its limits as a control system, and bioenergetics helps us go beyond those limits. It explores a field-based (wireless) communication system that allows us to not only read what’s going on in the body, but directly influence it as well. Simply put, if you can read and correct the body’s control system, you can read and correct people’s health from a fundamental level.

Let’s have a closer look at what bioenergetics and field-based control systems are all about.

Ponder this question: What is life?

Simply put, life is an energy exchange system.

If we zoom out and look at the sun, it is exchanging energy with the entire planet – it’s sending out photons as sunlight, they end up shining on the earth, plants use that source of energy, animals end up eating those plants, animals eat other animals, and humans eat both plants and animals.

Overall, when you’re looking at life, everything is exchanging energy all the time. If things aren’t exchanging and things aren’t moving, there’s no life.

If we look at the macro level, we are constantly exchanging energy – we eat energy through food, we create energy, we consume water, we use light as a form of energy (especially infrared and ambient heat), we move, we breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide ….

Fundamentally, life is an energy exchange system. If you didn’t exchange any of those four key items – food, water, light, and oxygen – you would simply die.

Bioenergetics studies this exchange, not only with the environment, but then within the body itself. It studies life and seeks to optimize this exchange process in order to optimize health.

Too often, we get completely stuck on diet and sometimes exercise when it comes to health. In a sense, this is understandable, as these assist on the macro level, which is easier to study and comprehend. But let’s look now at how microscopic cells are exchanging energy through the even smaller quantum world of energy.

Cells exchange energy all day long, and this process produces fields and drives a wireless form of communication. If your cells don’t know what they’re doing and aren’t able to talk to each other, then the whole body breaks down. This control system is faster than communication via the nervous system or hormones, and is crucial to your health.

Now, that’s quite a big statement, because we’re all used to the idea of biochemical or genetic control systems. If we step back and take a look, though, we see the historical and scientific precedent for these ideas.

Bioenergetics is the Key to Health

A famous scientist by the name of Albert Szent-Györgyi said that life is too rapid and subtle to be explained by slow moving chemical reactions and nerve impulses in the human body.

The body consists of 70 trillion cells, each with 10 million chemical reactions taking place each second. If this is the only way of communication, it’s far too slow.

True, a chemical reaction takes only microseconds to milliseconds. This sounds fast to us, but multiply that across all these cells if one has to communicate with another and then another; and some messages have to be carried by blood to other parts of the body. Suddenly, what looks fast becomes painfully slow, taking seconds or minutes to update changes in the body, and meanwhile the original cell has already made other changes. There is no way this can drive the unified operations of the human experience.

In other words, you need something that coordinates all the cells at once, especially across distant tissues, and this requires an additional layer of communication. Field-based signaling provides that global, coherent layer, operating in parallel rather than in sequence as biochemistry does. This is done through what we simply call the body-field.

Fields in the body are a familiar concept in mainstream science and medicine. Modern technologies like EKGs and EEGs measure electrical fields via voltage differences at the body’s surface. MEGs (magnetoencephalography) measure magnetic fields produced by neuronal currents. MRIs use strong magnetic and radio frequency fields to excite atomic nuclei, then detect the radio signals they emit as they relax, allowing the body to be mapped in detail. In short, reading fields is already part of what we do.

In bioenergetics, we’re extending that idea for a reason summed up well by Albert Einstein, who told us two important things:

First, he said that E=mc², or that a body’s kinetic energy is equal to its mass times the speed of light. Second, he said that “the field is the sole governing agency of the particle.”

Putting those two ideas together suggests that everything in the universe, including our biology, is made up of energy, and that all energy is controlled by its underlying fields. And we also know from science that these fields allow for instant communication at any distance.

As I said earlier, if we’re looking at the 70 trillion cells in your body, they must have a tight knit control system with instantaneous communication. And they do. All the cells and even the molecules in your body, including proteins, are connected and governed by an intertwining field. It’s what allows you to experience the magnificence of existence.

We’ve now built upon Einstein’s statement, and can say that the body-field is the sole governing force of life.

If having a healthy body-field means that you feel healthy, then the opposite is true when distorted or unhealthy cells can’t properly communicate information to one another.

These breakdowns occur when the body is compromised through toxins like heavy metals, or physical and emotional traumas. While we may not think of this breakdown as a cause of disease, it is the fundamental piece that is overlooked in disease theory.

If we can use other methods – like diet, exercise, or acupuncture – to detoxify the body and overcome disease, why not go directly to the body’s control system?

Health by Way of the Body-Field

If you present the body-field with the ideal blueprint, so to speak, it is able to correct itself. We can do this using what we call Infoceuticals – patterns imprinted into structured water that speak to the field and guide it back toward a more optimal state.

When this water is consumed, your body is able to pick up this information, put instructions directly into the cellular communication system, and allow the healing mechanisms to activate.

There is significant historical context for this strategy, beginning over 200 years ago with the work of Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician and the father of homeopathy.

Hahnemann held the view that “like cures like” and began imprinting liquids and milk solids with a negative (stressor) message to get the body to react against it (a healing reaction) and correct itself. To stop vomiting, for instance, he would dilute a small amount of an herb that induced vomiting and then let the body react against it.

Moving forward into this century, there have been a few scientists who have looked into this more closely. During the 1980s, immunologist Jacques Benveniste investigated cellular responses to highly diluted biological substances. His experiments involved serial dilution of an allergen in water with vigorous agitation between steps. He diluted it to the point that no molecules of the original substance should have remained, and yet cells exposed to these dilutions reacted as if the original substance were present.

But why give the body negative (stressful) information and hope that it is well enough and has enough energy to work out its own solution? Why not provide it with the optimal blueprint so it can immediately start to correct its function?

That is how Infoceuticals work. Since the body-field facilitates non-local instantaneous communication, all we need is the proper information. It’s like sending a “message in a bottle” to your cells and organs.

The journey started with Samuel Hahnemann’s lactose sugar pills, continued with Jacques Benveniste’s research, and through my own personal experiences I have been driven to pursue it even further.

Thinking back to 15 years ago, spending most of a decade trying to get my health back and not knowing what the future would hold, it’s a little emotional.

But I am here now to tell you that even when things look really, really dark – and there really isn’t any darker moment than when you have no energy and no health – and you feel like you’ve hit rock bottom, that situation can still be turned around.

We are now in the midst of a revolution in science, education, and technology that will enable us to decode the human body-field to a much broader extent. Modern technology and an influx of new data will help us understand more about the root cause of our illnesses each day and to restore humanity’s energy.
