At times it may come as no surprise to find your new home already equipped with a radionics alarm system from Radionics Inc, now owned by Bosch Security Systems. These hardwired alarm systems were expandable up to 100 zones with many user codes. Before taking on any DIY system upgrades it’s essential that you are aware of your panel model number, keypad model numbers and an arm/disarm code as these details could all affect how effectively your upgrade occurs.
Keypads
Radionics alarm panels like the 8112 and D6112 utilize a series of commands to perform system functions. These commands control how a system is armed or disarmed, programming functions, panic settings on systems with home alarm monitoring, as well as panic functions if applicable. Each model differs with regards to which commands it supports; to learn which ones your particular panel and keypad supports and how they function – for instance command 4 will silence beeping keypads while performing “smoke detector reset” function if your combined burglary/fire monitoring panel supports it!

Research indicates that fasting can reduce disease risk factors and slow biological aging; however, maintaining caloric restriction for an extended period may prove challenging.
BioAge Health provides physician-supervised intermittent fasting with ProLon FMD for our Eagan area patients to reduce aging and disease risk markers in two clinical trials.
1. Calorie Restriction
Calorie restriction (CR) is a diet plan which reduces caloric intake without malnutrition. Studies have demonstrated its efficacy at significantly extending life span in diverse animals including yeast, worms, rats and mice, as well as decreasing aging-related diseases in humans.
Unfortunately, long-term calorie restriction can be difficult and unsafe for some individuals. Therefore, researchers have sought alternative diets that mimic its health benefits to promote longevity in people. A periodic low-calorie diet alternating between eating regularly and fasting has proven successful at decreasing disease risk factors as well as biological age in humans.
As part of its fasting phase, this special diet sees glucose and insulin levels decrease to promote fat burning while decreasing oxidative stress levels in the body. Thus, this fasting-mimicking diet has been found to lower obesity markers such as blood markers for glycation as well as slow cellular aging in livers and muscles, improving immune function and decreasing inflammation within the brain.
Luigi Fontana, an internationally acclaimed physician scientist who specializes in health and longevity research, spearheaded a two-year CR study wherein the cyclical diet was put through its paces. With his team, blood samples from 63 healthy adults who were divided into one of two clinical trials: either eating their usual diet most of the time; or following an experimental plant-based low-caloric and low-protein meal plan which featured five consecutive days similar to a fast.
At one point during this study, those on a calorie-restricted diet lost their telomeres at a slower rate than control group, suggesting that this diet can slow or reverse human cell aging. Researchers believe this effect was due to increased activity of SIRT2 gene which has been demonstrated to decrease oxidative stress and increase longevity in animal models. Furthermore, thymuses, which produce immune system T cells in chest, grew larger among CR groups while producing more T cells than usual than they did in control group.
2. Intermittent Fasting
An increasing body of research indicates that intermittent fasting may play a pivotal role in healthy aging and extend lifespan. Similar to calorie restriction, intermittent fasting reduces inflammation, improves mitochondrial function and enhances insulin sensitivity while simultaneously supporting weight loss and increasing muscle mass.
Intermittent fasting involves alternating periods of eating and fasting throughout the day, or time-restricted feeding as it’s known. First developed in animal studies, several schedules exist – 16:8 intermittent fasting being one popular variation – in which you eat within an 8-hour window on any given day while fasting for 16 of those hours.
As well as improving metabolic health, adopting this diet offers additional advantages, including healthier skin. One advantage is its ability to prevent oxidative stress that causes wrinkles and other signs of aging; another advantage is increasing collagen production which keeps skin looking supple and youthful; lastly it may help decrease inflammatory conditions such as acne and rosacea by lowering insulin levels.
Before engaging in intermittent fasting, consult your physician first. It’s essential that you understand its advantages and disadvantages as well as any possible health risks, while eating a well-rounded diet with lots of nutrient-rich whole foods to meet your nutritional needs during fasting periods – particularly protein intake!
Some more extreme intermittent fasting plans, like 5:2, require that you eat regularly five days out of seven and restrict calories on two. While this type of regimen can be difficult for beginners to follow and may lead to low energy, less intensive fasting plans such as skipping breakfast and dinner are better suited to beginners; just make sure you consume plenty of water throughout your fast. Bottom line? Intermittent fasting shows promise for healthy aging; however it may not suit all individuals so find an eating plan that best meets your personal health goals and goals!
3. Fasting-Mimicking Diet (FMD)
Fasting-mimicking diets (FMD) have been found to activate stem cell proliferation and cellular reprogramming that extend longevity in mice in laboratory settings. FMD diets consist of low calorie, high fat and low protein consumption for four to seven days at a time. As such, it could become an effective tool in maintaining health through healthy aging or disease regression.
Valter Longo from USC Leonard Davis School of Medicine and colleagues conducted two clinical studies that demonstrated how taking three cycles of FMD reduces biological age by 2.5 years compared to chronological age, along with revitalizing metabolic and immune system function. Blood chemistry data is the best indicator of one’s overall aging status and so biological age estimation can serve as a valuable metric of overall aging status.
Researchers used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (NHANES III) to compare biological age, healthspan and cause-specific mortality between participants who did and did not consume FMD. They estimated life expectancy using model cause-specific death rates assuming participants continued eating three cycles of FMD annually or died due to natural causes at 70.
Researchers discovered that FMD not only decreased obesity, body weight, blood sugar levels and fasting glucose but also significantly decreased markers of inflammation while increasing lymphoid-to-myeloid ratio – an indicator of youthful immunity. Furthermore, in one trial FMD was associated with significant reduction in insulin resistance while another trial saw it lead to significant regression of pre-diabetes.
As opposed to water-only fasts, which are difficult to manage without nutritional support, FMD diets allow individuals to consume a wide range of food including proteins, fruits, vegetables and carbohydrates. While FMD may be easier than water-only fasting in terms of managing strict caloric restrictions and lasting weight loss; many find five day FMD diets difficult and costly for themselves to do on their own; hence Prolon offers coaching and guidance through this process for an additional cost – although this may still require significant financial commitment on an individual’s part.
4. Exercise
Physical exercise has been shown to reverse cellular aging. Exercise improves heart health, increases blood flow and keeps the brain young; improves peak oxygen consumption and optimizes endurance levels; reduces sarcopenia; activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma-1 (PGC-1); increases protein synthesis; and enhances balance and motor coordination; the most beneficial exercises include aerobic training such as running, swimming and cycling with resistance training included as part of this regimen.
Scientists are only just beginning to grasp why exercise has antiaging benefits, yet. One explanation may be its ability to reduce inflammation and regulate glucose levels – both factors which help avoid premature aging – as well as its stimulation of growth hormone production and activation of AMPK protein which slows down aging processes and extends lifespan.
Over history, people often experienced periods when food was scarce or unavailable, which forced them to fast. While fasting may have helped these populations survive and thrive, today we can choose when and what we eat – according to researchers, scientists believe our meal times could influence how quickly we age.
Fasting, also known as food restriction or deprivation, may be undertaken for health, religious, ritualistic or ethical purposes. Fasts can last short or long periods, with occasional or daily restrictions placed upon eating and drinking habits; in certain cultures abstaining is seen as part of daily tradition.
Physicians frequently advise fasting prior to surgeries that require general anesthesia in order to protect against pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents, while fasting is also often practiced spiritually and by individuals for initiatory ceremonies. Fasting can also be used as a treatment option or reduce pain; some forms of cancer, cholesterol and blood pressure issues as well as depression and anxiety have all been treated by fasting.
Track 2 was specifically created to take full advantage of the VTS-1000/2000’s ability to provide low frequency vibrotactile stimulation and auditory stimulation through its small speakers, simulating an effective Parkinson’s study treatment sound for its use with this track.
60 minutes of doctor-crafted music and vibration to relax, rejuvenate and prepare you for sleep – naturally! Our soothing music features clinically proven brainwave entrainment to further ease tension reduction and promote relaxation.
Product Description
Vibroacoustic therapy utilizes low frequency vibration to stimulate body cells into therapeutic states of relaxation and healing, using soothing music with proven brainwave entrainment for additional stress reduction, relaxation and healing. The Sound Oasis(r) vibroacoustic system uses a Low Frequency Generator in combination with stereo audio speakers to produce soothing music with brainwave entrainment to bring an immersive sensory experience for additional stress reduction, relaxation and healing benefits. Furthermore, experimental research tracks have been utilized during medical trials on patients suffering from ailments like Alzheimer’s, Fibromyalgia or Parkinson’s to study their effect upon individuals afflicted with various ailments like Alzheimer’s, Fibromyalgia or Parkinson’s.
Vibration generated by the VTS-1000/VTS-2000 can penetrate body cells at an cellular level to provide massage therapy to muscles and joints that would be difficult or impossible to reach via hand/mechanical massage alone. Furthermore, vibration triggers a coordinated neural and cellular response that can alleviate symptoms associated with back pain, anxiety, depression, arthritis, migraine headaches and fibromyalgia among many others.
Each VTS-1000/VTS-2000 sound track contains precise frequencies embedded into nature sounds, music and therapy sounds that induce therapeutic brainwave responses for sleep, stress relief, relaxation or energy stimulation and revitalization. To control and combine them effectively using binaural pitch detunement – slightly different pitches in each ear – produces brainwave responses that support sleep, stress relief and relaxation or can energize and rejuvenate.
Track 4 is an experimental track that has yet to be included in a study but which offers low frequency vibrotactile stimulation via the centre speaker of the VTS-1000/VTS-2000 and auditory stimulation via small speakers on top of the device. It was proposed theoretically as a means of treating conditions associated with thalamocortical dysrhythmia; one of six major functional circuits in the brain’s thalamocortical loop, comprising dominant 10Hz brainwave activity in the center (thalamus), while dominant 40Hz activity in upper parts (cortex).
Product Features
The VTS-1000 and VTS-2000 combine low frequency vibrations with soothing music and brainwave entrainment to offer stress reduction, relaxation, healing, and sleep enhancement. Numerous clinical trials conducted through National Institutes of Health-registered Vibroacoustic devices have demonstrated their potential to help reduce symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s, Fibromyalgia pain, Parkinson’s disease depression while increasing circulation and blood flow.
The vibrotactile stimulation device produces a vibration felt throughout the back that helps realign energy channels for improved sleep and relaxation during the day. Additionally, vibrotactile stimulation aids healing of injuries or aches, masks tinnitus symptoms, increases focus and concentration levels as well as helping pacify babies.
Doctor-Developed Sounds
The Oasis Sound Therapy System contains 60 minutes of professionally recorded nature, music and therapy sounds divided into four therapeutic themes (Energize, Sleep, Relax & Stress Relief) with three sound track selections per theme. Each track was engineered with specific frequencies designed to coax your brain into therapeutic states through careful temporal event control (number of sounds per second) and binaural pitch detunement (slightly different pitches in each ear), creating brainwave responses designed to support sleep (using delta frequency), relaxation (using Theta frequency), and energy (with alpha frequency).
Additionally, in addition to 12 clinically proven sound tracks, an experimental research track with no studies whatsoever is also included. It uses a 40Hz sine wave sound with amplitude modulation in the center speaker that may help synchronize brain circuitry such as the thalamocortical loop with vibrational response at 10Hz on the back of your head.

Energy work is a holistic form of massage therapy that uses techniques that focus on the body’s energetic system to relieve pain and promote healing. Research shows these practices may reduce discomfort while hasten recovery.
This paper uses interviews to investigate how massage practitioners narrate their bodieswork through ideas of energy. Our findings offer a more complete picture of the role energy has on bodywork practices.
Relaxation
Integrating energy work into massage sessions can enhance its therapeutic value. A practitioner who specializes in these techniques will feel their client’s energy field to detect when areas are blocked or unbalanced; then use gentle touch or even no pressure to facilitate energy movement and promote relaxation.
Holistic healing sessions may provide long-term health improvements. Clients typically report improved resilience against stressors and emotional triggers after regular sessions as well as experiencing greater clarity in daily life.
Energy work differs significantly from traditional massage, in that its focus lies on the body’s energy system and how it connects. Practitioners may incorporate Reiki, a Japanese energy healing technique which utilizes universal life force energy to facilitate relaxation and heal both physical and energetic body parts, during energy work sessions. At such sessions, clients remain fully clothed as their practitioner gently places hands over specific points on the body to promote wellness and relax muscles.
At an energy healing massage session, clients may experience feelings of deep relaxation or tingling sensations – both are common responses and indicate that energy is flowing freely throughout their bodies. During a typical energy healing massage therapy session, energy healing therapists focus on areas most in need of healing while using sound, light or any combination thereof as therapy methods.
Massage therapy has long been known to reduce cortisol, the hormone responsible for stress, while simultaneously increasing serotonin and dopamine, the brain’s “feel good” chemicals. Furthermore, massage can help improve posture by loosening stiff joints; improving range of motion in joints by relieving stiffness; helping improve posture by relieving stiffness in the joints; energy work can further amplify these positive results of massage to provide holistic healing that addresses one’s emotions, mental balance and emotional support needs.
An energy-based holistic massage can be an invaluable way to restore balance to both SoulBody and Mind, and promote healing on all levels. Not only can this type of therapy offer numerous health advantages – such as reduced anxiety and depression levels, as well as better sleeping patterns and enhanced problem solving abilities – it should be scheduled regularly in order to experience its full effects. For optimal results it’s recommended scheduling regular sessions.
Stress relief
Stress can be the source of physical discomfort, but massage therapy is an effective solution. Massage releases endorphins that promote relaxation and well-being while the soothing touch relaxes muscles and tendons to relieve joint pressure – relieving chronic stress-related aches and pains while helping individuals maintain a healthier lifestyle.
Integrating energy work into massage can increase energy flow throughout the body and address imbalances in chakras – important elements in emotional and spiritual equilibrium. Some energy healing massage techniques include chakra balancing, Reiki integration and mindfulness/breathwork practices.
Massage rooms provide an atmosphere conducive to introspection, helping individuals tune in with their emotions and feelings, which can enable them to identify and process trauma for emotional balance. Furthermore, regular massage can assist individuals with developing effective coping mechanisms to combat stress and anxiety levels which contributes to positive self-care practices.
Massage stimulates the release of oxytocin, an important hormone for emotional connection and security, to ease feelings of warmth. This physical response reduces stress while encouraging an unbroken sleep cycle – both essential components for overall well-being. Furthermore, increased circulation produced by massage promotes healthy metabolic functions which aid in weight loss while simultaneously supporting immune functions; regular massages contribute towards maintaining an attractive and vibrant body.
Emotional support
Mental health struggles affect virtually everyone at some point in their life. From trauma, depression and anxiety to other forms of mental illness, they can greatly diminish quality of life and hinder progress in many aspects. Seeking professional help and support when struggling is essential; holistic massage therapy may be an effective treatment option to alleviate symptoms while simultaneously helping with spiritual healing and mood improvement.
Massage can help promote relaxation and reduce anxiety by cultivating mindfulness – an invaluable practice that improves mental health. Massage therapy requires you to lie still, focus on your breathing, and center yourself, helping break the cycle of stress that leads to depression, anxiety and poor sleep quality.
An energy work massage can also rebalance the body’s energy fields, relieving symptoms of chronic anxiety and depression while encouraging relaxation and reconnecting with natural rhythms of the body. Regular sessions may offer long-term benefits and bring greater equilibrium to those living with mental health challenges for an extended period of time.
Energy work sessions involve creating an energetic connection with their client to identify areas of dissonance or disruption in their body’s energy field, before using their hands to facilitate energy flow, release tension and restore harmony – providing an alternative treatment option to traditional medical and psychological approaches for anxiety and depression.
There are three primary ways that massage therapists can incorporate energy work into their practice: chakra balancing, reiki integration, mindfulness and breathwork. Not all massage therapists offer these services, but those that do can offer a truly transformative experience for their clients. Each form of energy work has unique benefits while all aim to rebalance and heal the body; often with soothing music playing in the background while clients relax into their journey with each treatment session.
Long-term health benefits
My approach combines hands-on massage, energy healing and intuitive guidance into one holistic experience tailored to suit the unique needs of each person I treat. Sessions can help release deeply held trauma or stagnant energy that may be keeping you from reaching true inner peace and holistic well-being.
Deep relaxation provided by massage helps ease anxiety and stress, leading to a calmer state of mind. Furthermore, therapeutic massage lowers cortisol levels while increasing feel-good chemicals such as serotonin production – encouraging better sleep quality and creating more positive vibes in our minds.
Massage therapy has been shown to foster improved blood flow, helping relieve muscle soreness and increase overall circulation. Massage can also assist in flushing out toxins from the body to promote cell health and prevent disease, while stimulating release of oxytocin (a natural hormone which fosters feelings of connection and emotional warmth) making navigating tough emotions with greater ease.
As part of their therapeutic massage practice, energy work practitioners focus their intention and attention on sensing areas of imbalance or disruption within a client’s energetic field, using their hands to facilitate energy flow while aiding natural healing abilities of clients. Energy work amplifies therapeutic benefits from regular massage sessions making it an integral part of self-care routines.
Many physical illnesses are also accompanied by unresolved emotions that remain unresolved, yet these have often been ignored in favor of more immediate, visible issues. Energy work-integrated massage can increase awareness to facilitate more thoughtful self-care practices that address both physical and emotional wellbeing over time, supporting long-term wellbeing by providing holistic health benefits.
Life energy massage offers many long-term health advantages. To get the most out of this experience, it is best to prepare by relaxing before your appointment and communicating any areas of concern to your therapist. In addition, drinking plenty of water and noting any shifts in emotional or physical wellbeing post session may further maximize its effects.
