 The BT7 Bio-Tuner is an electronic relaxation system. Micro-current energy pulses appear to have a profound balancing effect on the individual and tend to produce a state of over-all relaxation and well being. The Bio-Tuner outputs a modified rectilinear waveform with over 500 frequencies in each pulse. The Bio-Tuner has been a leader in electronic relaxation systems since 1983.
The BT7 Bio-Tuner is based on technology originally developed in Russia in the 1950's as a sleep aid, for which it was termed 'electrosleep.' Researchers observed that the treatment not only helped with sleep, but also reduced depression and enhanced alertness. Many years and many studies later, Cranial Electrical Stimulation (CES) is now used for neurotransmitter balancing, mood control, IQ gains, sleep, peak performance, drug and alcohol addictions, depression, anxiety, TMJ, fibromyalgia, headaches, and much more. It is well researched and documented.(See Wikipedia Reference)
 There are approximately 1,000 articles on CES therapy many of which are listed in four reviews put out by the Foreign Service Bulletin of the United States Library of Congress. This is in addition to the wealth of physiological and bioengineering data on electrosleep and electroanesthesia in animals. As of this writing there are more than 100 research studies on CES in humans and 18 experimental animal studies. The efficacy of CES has been clinically confirmed through the use of 28 different psychometric tests. The significance of CES research for treating anxiety has also been reconfirmed through meta-analyses conducted at the University of Tulsa and at the Department of Health Policy and Management, Harvard University School of Public Health.
Double blind studies were done at the University of Wisconsin on the Bio-Tuner's capabilities to overcome drug withdrawal symptoms and it did the job. Studies at both Wisconsin and the University of Louisiana showed it could boost IQ from twenty to thirty points. Bio-Tuner stimulation appears to enhance neural efficiency, researchers stated. Users report that the BT7 reduces stress, improves short and long term memory, helps learning, increases energy, improves concentration and reduces pain, anxiety, depression, and sleep requirements.
Many use CES as an assist to their creative work or in high stress situations. CES quiets the mind, making it especially helpful in preparing for examinations or as an accelerated learning tool, such as when memorizing blocks of material. For the athlete readying for competition, it helps create the state of relaxed awareness, easing them into the zone of maximum performance. People find for themselves how to best incorporate CES into their daily routine.
How Does CES and the Bio-Tuner Work?
As is the case with numerous medications, including aspirin, the exact physiological mechanism by which CES works is not fully understood and is still the subject of research study. It is hypothesized that CES acts by direct stimulation of the brain in the hypothalmic area with specific electronic frequencies. Such stimulation causes the brain to manufacture various neurohormones that affect one's moods and emotions as well as ones cognitive capabilities back to a level of pre-stress homeostasis, and mittigates such factors such as blood pressure, body temperature, fluid and electrolyte balance, and body weight. Interestingly, these same factors are also controlled by the Triple Warmer Meridian in Chinese medicine, which is stimulated during use of the BT7.
 In Traditional Chinese Medicine the Triple Warmer is the meridian or energy pathway that networks the energies of the immune system to attack an invader, and it mobilizes the body’s energies in an emergency for the fight-or-flight-or-freeze response. In carrying out these critical functions, it operates in ways that are so beyond the range of any other meridian that some consider it a system unto itself. Although the exact reasons for the term "triple warmer" are lost in antiquity, its energies work in conjunction with the hypothalamus gland, which is the body’s thermostat. Like an army, triple warmer mobilizes during threat or perceived threat, coordinating all the other energy systems to activate the immune response, govern the fight/flight/freeze mechanism, and establish and maintain body homeostasis. Since the Bio-Tuner may affect the hypothalmus and the Triple Warmer Meridian, perhaps this can explain in part how the Bio-Tuner can be so helpful with stress related conditions.
Who Invented the BT7 Bio-Tuner?
 Bio-Tuner inventor Robert (Bob) C. Beck, D.Sc. had a docorate in Physics and spent a great deal of his life conducting brain research. In the 1970's he developed an improved EEG to read brain wave patterns and went on to develop many other helpful devices. When he read in 1983 about Dr. Meg Patterson’s success in helping rock star Peter Townshend overcome his drug addiction using a "Black Box Brain Tuner," he contacted her. These two research pioneers enjoyed several meetings, but Patterson was committed to a large corporation so Bob Beck decided to develop a Brain Tuner on his own. With Bob’s genius, he was able to develop a unit that emitted all the key frequencies simultaneously. These frequencies include a special healing frequency Bob discovered from Russian researchers. Bob Beck won the John Fetzer Foundation pioneering award for scientific achievement in 1990 for his brain research.

The BT7 (formerly the BT6) is mentioned in several books including "Super-Learning 2000" by Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder. In his book, "Mega Brain Power," author Michael Hutchinson writes about one user's experience with the Bio-Tuner:
Beth was given anesthesia when she gave birth to her first baby and later found that she had lost part of her memory. She was forced to give up her job in an aerospace plant. Years later a friend gave her a small cranial electrostimulation (CES) device and she began using it. 'Almost overnight,' she said, 'all my memories started coming back, including everyone’s telephone extensions at the plant. It was uncanny—all these old extension numbers of people I hadn’t thought of in years.' This story, told to me by researcher Bob Beck, Ph.D., provides graphic evidence of a key fact: We have electric–powered brains. Each of the billions of neurons in our brains is a tiny electrical generator, as complex as a small computer, firing an electrical signal that triggers the release of various neurochemicals and links it with thousands of other neurons.
A unit similar to The Bio-Tuner was featured in OMNI Magazine, Volume 5, Number 4, January, 1983 in an article written by Kathleen McAuliffe called "The Black Box - Secret Treatment of Rock Superstars."
DescriptionThe BT7 Bio-Tuner outputs a modified rectilinear waveform with over 500 harmonic frequencies in each pulse. Six different user-selectable mode settings are available.
The BT7 offers the following advanced features:
- Quartz crystal frequency control
- Advanced microcomputer operation
- Built-in 20 minute digital timer
- Custom Headset
- Very simple intuitive operation
- A push-button switch to easily change the output to each of the 6 different modes
- Two of the modes contain the 7.83 Hz Schumann (Earth) frequency
- Headset and Output Signal Electrical Circuit Verification Indicator
- Low battery warning light
- Unit is covered by a 3 year warranty on internal mounted components The BT7 allows for 6 user-selectable output modes that research shows has varying effects. In all modes, the base frequency of 1,000 Hz pulse-modulated by 111.11 Hz is present. This is the "magic frequency" that was found to work where other's failed. This ensures the user will indeed get the expected benefits of the Bio-Tuner, regardless of which mode is selected. The modes can also be looked at as "comfort settings". Due to government regulations, we are not allowed to disclose specifics on the effects that each different mode might produce. Individual results may vary.
The Bio-Tuner is very lightweight (a few ounces) and operates from a standard 9-Volt Alkaline battery. It is manufactured to the highest standards for the utmost quality and reliable service.
