ONDAMED - Newspaper Article

Are you tired of being sick and tired? Do you have chronic pain, poor circulation, stomach problems, hot flashes, night sweats, you’re stressed out, taking too many medications, or been over-exposed to chemicals, just to name a few? If you answer ‘yes’ to any of the symptoms, then it may be time to make a change in your treatment of them.

Becky Mulkern, Naturopathic Doctor, licensed in the State of New Hampshire and a specialist in natural health and healing, has more than 28 years experience in clinical practice and holistic medicine. Dr. Mulkern owns The Center for Natural Health in Conway and offers the newest cutting edge technology for improving your health. She has the first clinic in New Hampshire and Northern New England that offers the ONDAMED® biofeedback system.

The ONDAMED® biofeedback system is a revolutionary system that was invented in Schwanau, Germany, by electrical engineer Rolf Binder, approximately 10 years ago. The technology is a result of years of research in biophysical medical testing and therapy. The ONDAMED® technology represents a huge advancement in the way people with a variety of physical and emotional disorders can be helped.

The ONDAMED® technology frequencies stimulate connective tissue, known as extracellular matrix. This is a storage area for nutrients and toxins, which are delivered into the cells or excreted into the blood stream or lymph system.

Stimulation of the matrix enhances the release of toxins, leading to improved detoxification, enhances the absorption of nutrients into the cells, reduces edema, increases cellular repair and regeneration, activates lymph drainage, leading to an improvement in immune functions, improves blood circulation and reduces harmful effects of geopathic and electromagnetic stress.

Dr. Mulkern notes that the end result of stimulation with ONDAMED® frequencies is balanced metabolism, better moods, clearer mental thought processes, stronger commitment to self care and increased vitality.

ONDAMED® is a biofeedback device that works with more subtle energy in our bodies. It is based on the principle of electro-magnetic induction. It focuses on underlying conditions rather than symptoms.

During a session, a patient sits comfortably, fully clothed, in a chair or lies on a table. Patients may experience a mild tingling sensation, a feeling of warmth or nothing at all. A typical treatment lasts at least 45 minutes or longer. Patients report leaving a session feeling less pain, more relaxed and refreshed, able to think more clearly and better prepared for life’s challenges.

The device produces a highly focused pulsed electromagnetic field that penetrates deep into a targeted region of the body to painlessly stimulate tissues and “jump-start” cellular activities. Traditional medical treatments are generally focused on treating the physical result, the symptom, not the energy imbalances themselves.

Similar to acupuncture but without the needles, the system realigns the electromagnetic energy. ONDAMED® uses the body’s response to various frequencies by observing the response of the person’s pulse, letting the body tell which frequencies are needed by that particular part of the body. The system diagnoses the problem as well as treats it.

A unique feature of ONDAMED® is that it allows Dr. Mulkern to monitor patients’ responses to a variety of electromagnetic fields introduced through a neck applicator, and select frequencies or frequency programs that are appropriate. These signals are then introduced with a hand-held applicator or a larger matrix applicator.

The treatment provides an effective, painless and non-invasive complement or alternative to other pain relief options such as surgery or drugs. It can enhance the effectiveness of conventional treatments and can speed recovery and reduce side effects. It is being recognized in the health community as a viable alternative to painkillers.

At The Center for Natural Health, Dr. Mulkern also offers Trager Bodywork, therapeutic massage, homeopathic remedies, nutritional consultations, allergy relief and sports medicine, just to name a few services. Dr. Mulkern also holds workshops and seminars on natural health throughout the year.
