“I was getting more strength and better times the more I went.” -C. Morey
Marathon runner Cheryl decided to try the eWell Puck after observing the benefits she had seen to horses’ health when they were in the gentle electromagnetic field of a horse wellness device called tbs Thera-Tree that uses the same technology. Designed by Olympic gold medalist Tad Coffin, the Thera-Tree is used worldwide on equine athletes at all performance levels. Specifically, it helps optimize hydration resulting in lower heart rates, faster cardiovascular recovery, with less sweating as the body’s cooling system runs more efficiently. Other benefits include decreased muscle soreness after exertion and reduction of inflammation throughout the body.
Witnessing the benefits on horses, Cheryl considered the possible benefits of using this technology in her preparation for the Marine Corp marathon.
“So, I thought, if this helps the horses, why not experiment and see what it does for me?” Cheryl says.
Data from her FitBit confirmed this, showing that her cardio efficiency was at a steady 136 bpm throughout the whole race with only a couple of peak times. “During this year’s race, at mile 24, (40k) I ran an 11:11 mile and my heart rate was a steady 136 bpm. I recovered better and felt great the next day.”
The science behind this technology is connected to the work of University of Washington researcher, Professor Gerald Pollack. His research has shown that water has a fourth phase, a liquid crystalline, in between a liquid and a solid that has distinct properties, one of which is the separation into positively and negatively charged zones. He believes that the water in our bodies is predominantly fourth phase water and the charge differential is a ‘water battery’ that drives much of our biology. It plays a fundamental role in the movement of fluids, the delivery of oxygen, the distribution of nutrients and the removal of waste. The fourth phase ‘water battery’ is recharged with light, particularly in the infrared spectrum.
