The BAX 3000 is an automated system, consisting of multiple components, which allow licensed healthcare providers to provide a unique form of relaxation training. The BAX 3000 consists of a Digital Conductance Meter which measures skin conductivity, and a computer system which contains various audio/video stimuli, and displays, prints and records testing results.

The BAX 3000 software houses 100,000+ environmental substances, in an audio/visual format, which are presented to the patient to illicit autonomic nervous system responses. The DCM measures these responses, via galvanic skin resistance readings, during each individual audio/visual substance exposure. The list of environmental substances includes: foods, heavy metals, toxins, chemicals, inhalants, pollens, grasses, phenolics and much more. In fact, just about any substance capable of affecting wellness is in the library. The BAX 3000 relies on the known relationship between electrical conduction and the autonomic nervous system, and can be quite effective in helping a practitioner to design a unique Substance-Specific Relaxation Training protocol for each patient. The BAX 3000 is a valuable piece of the puzzle for practitioners whose long term goal is to reduce symptoms related to conditions that are, at their core, Autonomic Nervous System Mediated Responses.

Substance Specific galvanic skin resistance (Stress) MEASUREMENT

The purpose of the BAX 3000 is to relieve stress, First by providing data showing levels of stress in the ANS, and second, allowing those levels to be reduced with relaxation training. The BAX 3000 is unique because it provides this information in the context of a substance. As an example, if a person is allergic, sensitive or intolerant to milk, there will be an increase in stress of the Autonomic Nervous System. Likewise, the presence of the word “milk”, or frequency imitating “milk”, will cause an increase in stress of the Autonomic Nervous System, if for no other reason than the mere thought of a substance that causes the person to be ill causes anxiety.

The BAX 3000 is NOT meant to diagnose an allergy, sensitivity or any condition at all. Rather, the DCM is measuring Galvanic Skin Resistance during presentation of the Audio/Visual substance stimuli housed in the software.

Substance Specific Relaxation training (Stress-Reduction) Strategy

“The use of Galvanic Skin Resistance technology to assess anxiety is not controversial because of the known relationship between electrical conduction and the Autonomic Nervous System. Nor is the relationship between stress and allergies, migraines and a host of health conditions controversial. BAX 3000 providers, via the relaxation training techniques they offer, are able to provide clients with the general health related benefits of stress reduction, as well as some very condition specific benefits as well.

Substance Specific Relaxation training (Stress-Reduction) & allergies

Certain conditions are, by definition, the result of an inappropriate reaction to a harmless substance. Allergies, for example, are caused by a hyper-reaction of the Autonomic Nervous System, which triggers an immune system reaction. BAX 3000 providers use Relaxation Training strategies geared towards a specific substance, the goal is to train the ANS to respond in a relaxed way (Not over react, or hyper react) by introducing the “substance”, which is housed on the software, during relaxation training. This process is a combination of positive conditioning and biofeedback, and when the stressful event occurs in the real world the directed relaxation training is “remembered” by the ANS. In this case, the real world event is substance exposure, and the result may be elimination of the inappropriate reaction to harmless substances.

Recent research has demonstrated that many allergies are caused by the neurological system forming a cause and effect relationship between a substance and a stress (trauma etc), much like Pavlovian conditioning. Other Research has shown that if these associations can be broken, by introducing a positive stimulus in conjunction with the specific stress inducing substance, symptoms can be eliminated. The BAX 3000 allows the practitioner to do this quite easily. The relaxation training process, which can be accomplished by any one of a number of techniques, is a positive stimulus. The production of endorphins, a byproduct of relaxation training, is viewed by the neurological system as positive. When done in conjunction with the presentation of the “substances” in the software, the neurological system associates the two… and old associations are broken. Furthermore, the relaxed state is remembered, and during future exposures the stressed reaction does not occur. The Provider combines the relaxation training with those “substances” that caused the levels of stress to increase, as measured by raised Galvanic Skin Resistance measurements.
