The SCIO/EDUCTOR Quantum Technologies & Therapies based on Quantum Physics, Biofeedback and Bioresonance are designed to detect and reduce STRESS (physical, mental, emotional, social, environmental), the main cause of disease in the world today. The SCIO/EDUCTOR Bioresonance & Biofeedback device makes it possible to query the body for its most acute and chronic imbalances and to correct these stressors with focused energetic therapies.The main premises of Bioresonance & Biofeedback therapies are:

• The energetic body is the matrix of the physical body. Heal energetic blockages and the biochemistry of the body will change.

• The body is electrical in nature, therefore reactivity to stressors in the body can be measured electrically. Health can be measured!

• The body is innately intelligent and it has the ability to heal itself if the right conditions or stimuli (frequencies) are provided.

• Electromagnetic frequencies (micro-currents) can be used to re-establish the electrical and biochemical functions of the body to restore the integrity of the tissue and promote healing.

Frequency therapies as used in SCIO/EDUCTOR technologies are holistic, personalized, efficient, safe, painless, drug-free, without side-effects, in harmony with the environment and scientifically based. They are, unquestionably, an alternative to the over-medicalization which prevails today in our health systems all over the world. Offering over 500 assisted-by computer Biofeedback therapies, it is the largest Healthcare software package in the world, combining both Eastern and Western philosophies and techniques.Join us for this presentation where we will demonstrate some of the most powerful functionalities of this SCIO/EDUCTOR device.

Chlorella species are becoming increasingly popular. Around 1940, scientists from industrialised nations already recognised the outstanding physic nutritional potential of Chlorella microalgae. The constituents such as Chlorophyll, unsaturated fatty acids, peptides amino acids, polysaccharides glycoproteins, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals are contributing to Chlorella’s physiological properties: detoxification through biosorption and stimulation of phase two biotransformation, immuno-modulation, enhancement sugar and lipid metabolism… Chlorella has been traditionally cultivated in Asia in open ponds. Since 2000, Chlorella has been cultivated (with a biotechnology awarded patented) in Germany in a photobioreactor made of closed glass tubes system (zero contamination, optimal photosynthesis). Only a Chlorella with highest purity can bring all expected health properties: free from heavy metals and toxins, intact cell walls preserve all nutrients from oxidation.

Traditional Medicine is deeply rooted in history and culture of Sri Lankans. It is a part of the traditions of country, employing healing practices hails from generation to generation. A common feature of most systems of traditional medicine is that they take a holistic approach in promoting health, preventing diseases and helping to regularize physical, emotional, mental aspects and living environment. Asians have an ancient heritage of Traditional Medicine with full of rich folklore remedies. Thus, it plays an important role in providing primary health care service to 60% to 70% of the Sri Lankan population. There is an enormous treasure of knowledge on traditional medicine embedded in vast number of literatures, particularly in the form of hand written manuscripts such as Ola leaves and Veda Kawi (traditional poem) with Veda Geta (secret code). However, lack of awareness, improper dissemination, inadequate knowledge about the traditional medicine and their principles are major lacuna for the proper exploitation of benefits of this system of medicine. Therefore, evaluation of the rich heritage of the traditional medicine on the basis of literatures with special reference to phytochemical, pharmacological and analytical studies such as microscopy, chromatography of some precious traditional remedies is essential. The objective of this study is to identify scientifically proven, safe and effective traditional remedies and to promote their use among general public with sound scientific basis. Further, this study is to suggest technical guidelines for the preparation of these medicines that would satisfy the established of international standards in the field of herbal medicines. Therefore, this study will not only pave the way for the protection and preservation of treasure of our traditional medicine but also effectively integrate our traditional practice with other system of medicine, in order to provide primary health care services to the nations.

Drought is among the most common agricultural stresses that significantly influence both growth and metabolic activities of plants. In this study an aromatic herb Eriocephalus africanus L. (Asteraceae) was cultivated under diverse watering regimens alongside foliar spraying with a plant hormone, Salicylic Acid (SA), at three concentrations (1, 2 and 3 mM) to observe the effect of drought stress and SA on its secondary metabolites. Total Flavonoid and Polyphenol contents (TFC and TPC, respectively) were calculated. TFC was raised by 54% in drought stressed plants sprayed with the highest SA concentration (3 mM) relative to control plants. Likewise, TPC increased by 35% in the same treatments. Consequently, the DPPH radical scavenging activity improved more than two-folds in the same treatment relative to control plants. UPLC-ESIMS/ MS profiles of the extracts of control plants were compared to those of treatment with highest TPC. Among identified polyphenols, 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid predominated in both samples, although detected in a greater percentage in the treated plants. The essential oil was hydro-distilled from the aerial parts of plants from all treatments; highest yield (1.05±0.03% v/w) was obtained from drought stressed plants sprayed 2 mM SA. Artemisia ketone prevailed in the GC/MS chromatograms of all oil samples, with highest yield (42%) recorded in plants sprayed with the same SA concentration.

Plant secondary metabolites, such as phenolic, flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, terpenoids etc. are important bioactive compounds. Free radicals, or oxidants are accountable for various dreadful diseases, including cancer, cataracts, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, ischemia, premature aging, arthritis, wrinkling of skin and so on. Antioxidants can act as hydrogen or electron donators, free radical scavengers, metal chelators, and singlet oxygen quenchers. Plant phenolics/flavonoids are good source of natural antioxidants. Mucuna pruriens (velvet bean) seed is known for its manifold pharmacological capabilities and of great interest on biomedical research. The current research was performed to assess in vitro antioxidant capabilities of methanolic crude extract (MCE) and its individual fractionates, such as petroleum ether fraction

(PEF), chloroform fraction (CHF), ethyl acetate fraction (EAF), and Dia-ion resin adsorbed fraction (DF) of Mucuna pruriens seeds by using DPPH• scavenging, total antioxidant capacity, reducing power capacity, total phenolic content and total flavonoid content assays. In DPPH free radical scavenging capacity, MCE, CHF, EAF, and DF demonstrated powerful antioxidants as compared to standard BHT. EAF exhibited highest DPPH• scavenging activity with IC50 value 3.50 g/ml amongst all tested samples. While the IC50 value of BHT was found to have 17.50 g/ml. Also, in total antioxidant activity, EAF showed highest activity than standard (+)-catechin, and other tested samples. Besides, among the fractionates, EAF revealed potent reducing power capacity as compared to reference standard L-ascorbic acid. Moreover, among the testing samples for total phenolic and total flavonoid contents, EAF contained the higher amount of phenolic and flavonoid compounds 31.420±0.218 mg of GAE/g of sample and 46.797±0.571 mg of Cat.E/g of sample, respectively. These bioassays showed dose dependent capability. These

investigations have proved that M. pruriens seeds have remarkable antioxidants characteristics.

Burns is an injury which is painful and has a long traumatic healing process along with the psychological trauma associated with the scarification produced. In developing countries many of the injured persons may not have immediate access to orthodox medicine and therefore seek the help of traditional healers who use herbal treatments. It is imperative therefore to find herbs that are not only effective but can also reduce the pain associated with the healing process and encourage less scarification. Some indigenous herbal doctors in Nigeria treat wounds with juice squeezed out from Datura metel leaves. In this study, air dried, pulverized leaves of this plant was extracted with ethanol using the soxhlet extraction method and phytochemical analysis of the extract carried out. Different concentrations of the extract were evaluated for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29213), Escherichia coli (ATCC 35218), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27353), Clinical isolates of Salmonella species, Klebsiella species and Bacillus subtillis using the pour plate method. Various concentrations (10 – 40%w/w) of the extract were formulated into ointments using petroleum jelly as ointment base.The extract was then investigated for burns healing efficiency using albino rats as model; by placing thity (30) female adult rats in six groups of five rats each divided into controls and treatment groups. Thermal wounds (Burns) were created on denuded skin patches on the rats. The burn sites of the treatment groups were then treated with 10% w/w, 20%w/w and 40%w/w ethanolic extract ointments of Datura metel for 16 days post – burns. Positive control groups were treated with Cicatrin powder (Neomycin and Bacitracin), Zero control group with petroleum Jelly while the Negative control group was treated with sterile distilled water. At the end of the treatment period, the rats were sacrificed and histopahological investigations carried out. Phytochemical analysis of the extract revealed the presence of tannins, alkaloids, terpenoids, triterpenoids, steroids, flavonoids, saponins and phenolic compounds. The crude extract exhibited antibacterial effect against all the pathogens studied. The formulated ointments produced significant effects in terms of wound contracing ability and wound closure within the 16 days treatment period. Histopathological examination of the wound site showed the 40%w/w extract to have exhibited the most significant healing result. Ethanolic extract of Datura metel was shown to have antibacterial and burns healing properties thus providing a scientific support for the traditional use of the leaves of this herbal plant in the management of wounds.
