The Purpose and Operative Principles

Vitafon 2 is intended for prophylactics and treatment of diseases associated with disorders in the capillary blood flow and lymph flow. The device creates a microvibration with constantly changing sonic frequency with the aid of interchangeable vibroacoustic transformers: vibraphones, and (or) pulsing infrared radiation: the IR-radiation transformer. The separate or combined action of microvibration and the IR-radiation prompts a multiple increase in the microcapillary blood flow and lymph flow within the area of action, which enables a therapeutic effect to be attained in the treatment of inflammatory and traumatic diseases.

Vitafon 2 is intended for use in therapeutic-prophylactic institutions and sanatoriums as well as in domestic conditions as recommended, under the supervision of a physician-specialist of this type. The "Vitafon-2" device consists of the control block and attached interchangeable transformers: vibraphones and IR-radiator. A membrane manufactured of a special alloy and decoratively covered is the operative surface of the vibraphone. A metal chrome-plated plate with orifices evenly distributed over the surface is the operative surface of the IR-radiator. In the orifices, optical elements are built-in. The optical elements consist of semiconductor radiators of the infrared range light (invisible). One of them is located centrally, and three others are equally distanced on the margins of the device. All of them are equipped with auxiliary indicator red light-emitting diodes. The main control switches are situated on the faceplate of the control block.

The device's vibraphones, through contact application of the membrane, induce microvibration of the organism's tissues. The IR-radiator acts with its infrared radiation upon the tissues. The rate of the microvibration and of the infrared radiation pulses changes automatically and constantly according to the cyclic program enabled within the sonic frequency range.

Vitafon 2 Medical effect
The therapeutic effect is based on the mutual enhancement of the combined effect of microvibration and pulsed infrared radiation.
The microvibration frequency and the IR-radiation power constantly change according to a certain repeating program (the cyclogram).
Within the vibraphone zone of action under the effect of the microvibration, a drop in the hydrodynamic vascular resistance occurs. Due to this, an intensification of the fluid osmotic movement occurs which leads to a local increase in the capillary blood flow and lymph flow. For each vessel diameter an optimal frequency of effect exists corresponding to the least hydrodynamic resistance against blood movement. Therefore, for therapeutic purpose a wide range of constantly changing microvibration frequencies are used. On this account even at a small microvibration amplitude (less than 20 mcm) an increase in the number of functioning capillaries can be attained as well as a significant decrease in their hydrodynamic resistance. The microvibration action upon the veins increases the effect of the venous hydrodynamic pump. Together these two effects provide a local increase in the blood and lymph flow. The therapeutic effect occurs within a 7-cm radius from the vibraphone centre, and via large vessels it spreads for 5-7 cm further.

Within the area of the IR-radiator effect an obvious anti-inflammatory effect occurs which is due to the transmission of the radiate warmth and infrared radiation. Due to this, a warming of the surface layers' tissue structures occurs, as well as activation of microcirculation and a local anesthesia.

To attain the greatest therapeutic effect in treatment of diseases, the transformers (the IR-radiator and the vibraphone) should change places from one procedure to another.

In complex treatments with the "Vitafon" device using drug preparations, the efficacy of the later is enhanced due to an increase of their concentration within the action zone of the device's transformers. Quick elimination of the pathological manifestations of the disease enables one to reduce the doses and the term of drug therapy.

Vitafon 2 For Men
The "Vitafon" is an ideal means of treating impotence: its has no undesirable side effects, provides a stable positive result, and favourably affects all the pelvic organs.
The statistics are indisputable: 25 to 40% of men, and robust men at that, suffer from inflammation of the prostate gland: prostatitis. That is right: they do suffer because, apart from the pain syndrome, sexual disorders appear in these men often leading to impotence and, consequently, to neuroses.
The causes of such widely spread cases of prostatitis are: a sedentary lifestyle, uncontrolled use of medicines, allergisation of the population, the consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe, an increasing number of venereal diseases, and a number of other factors.

The prostate gland consists of multiple little glands grouped in 30-50 lobules. The lobules are surrounded with fibrous-muscular membranes that prompt secretion into the ducts. Blood supply is maintained by numerous small arterial branches. The development of the inflammatory process in the prostate gland is strongly dependent on a complex of predisposing and local factors: disorder in the metabolic processes, and stagnant phenomena in the organ.
Recently physiotherapy has been increasingly important in the treatment of prostatitis due to an increase in complications from taking synthetic drugs.
Treatment with the "Vitafon" is an ideal way out! No "chemistry" whatsoever! The sonic vibration quite lightly and efficiently dissolves the stagnant phenomena in the prostate gland and in other pelvic organs, normalises the metabolic processes and stimulates regeneration of damaged tissue.
Besides, having recovered from this grave disease, you will receive an unexpected gift: your male strength will enhance considerably!
This is nothing astonishing! The point is: all the problems are related to circulation insufficiency!

Vitafon 2 For Women

Every woman wishes to be beautiful and healthy. "Vitafon" will help you attain both of these goals. An efficient means for improving the circulation, "Vitafon" can be quite successfully used not only for therapeutic-prophylactic purposes, but also for cosmetic ones. The device should be used with preliminarily selected therapeutic preparations: creams, ointments, gels, balsams, lotions. In this case the amount of cosmetic remedy may be reduced by half.
Following plastic surgery, "Vitafon" therapy quickly eliminates oedema and promotes healing of wounds. The postoperative scars become softer and more elastic.
Insomnia not only worsens the quality of life but also prompts accelerated ageing. There are many drug remedies used to treat this disease, but physicians always prefer a natural therapy. The selection of the points of application of the device in the treatment of insomnia with the "Vitafon" depends on the disease's cause and should be determined on an individual basis.
The device can be used for relieving fatigue and enhancing the muscles' working ability, for instance, for relieving fatigue in the hands.
After giving birth, when ruptures occur, the "Vitafon" will accelerate healing of the wound and will enable the mother to avoid complications. In 2-3 weeks after giving birth, it is recommended to have 1 or 2 prophylactic courses of the "Vitafon" therapy on the lumbar-sacral portion of the spine to normalise the menstrual cycle and the organs of the abdominal cavity. The same course will be desirable 2 or 3 months prior to a planned pregnancy because in future the foetus will place an increasing load upon the mother's spine.
Quite often lactating mothers encounter the fact that they do not have enough milk. Strictly speaking, not having enough breast milk (hypogalactia) cannot be called a disease. This is a temporary condition that nevertheless creates a lot of problems. Because the mother cannot fully feed the infant, it starts crying more often, sleeps much worse, and naturally this does not positively affect its development. In fact, a real inability to breastfeed occurs only in 1% of women. It is related to an anatomical underdevelopment of the mammary glands and to some grave conditions of the endocrine system. In all other cases the disorder is purely functional. The milk forms from the blood in the gland and therefore the amount of milk formed depends on the blood supply in the breast. When breastfeeding, the woman must drink more, keep her breasts warm and thoroughly draw off the remains of the milk. Completely drawing off the remains prompts the forming of more milk (lactation). If there is not enough milk because of poor blood supply to the breast, then a 5-min. application of the "Vitafon" within 20-30 minutes after breastfeeding each day improves the circulation and hopefully increases the lactation.
One gynaecological pathological condition involves a disorder of the menstrual cycle due to various reasons. This general title includes several conditions varying in severity, and each of them demands its own treatment. Therefore visitation to a gynaecologist is necessary. Cycle disorders in which menstruation is longer than the normal 5-7 days, a "smearing" continues following menstruation, or menstruation does not occur according to schedule, are related to emotional stresses, temporary hormonal shifts, fatigue of the organism, and other functional reasons. In these cases, the desired result can be attained with the aid of the "Vitafon". It has been noticed that in treatment of various diseases when the vibraphones are established on the abdomen or loins areas, duration of even ordinary menstruation shortens by 1 or 2 days. This is due to stimulation by means of vibroacoustic action upon the sexual glands, renal glands, and via them upon the uterus tonus.
Application of the "Vitafon" may be particularly advantageous at a young age when the menstrual cycle is just beginning to undergo its formation.

Vitafon 2 For Elderly People

Hypertension is a common fellow-companion of elderly people: increase in atrerial pressure. Hypertension is a treacherous disease. The increased arterial pressure may lead not only to stress on the heart and to cardiac pain, but also to infarction. The stress is increased not only for the heart alone but also for the vessels. This may result in a brain stroke. In brain stroke, death or a paralysis of extremities occurs quite often.
The upper arterial pressure is considered safe if it does not exceed 100 plus the age of the patient, and the critic one - 110 plus the age of the patient. It is not recommended to have a pressure above these figures. The optimal upper pressure is 90 plus one's age although this figure is rather individual. Many people have a stable blood pressure of 120/80 until the age of 50-60. In children the pressure is 100/60 as a rule. In young people: 110/70-120/80. Many individuals see their blood pressure increase with age.
The greatest and, unfortunately, most widely spread mistake in treatment of hypertension is to undergo an irregular treatment. One should not forget that just 1 second of high pressure may be sufficient for a brain stroke. Therefore it is necessary to maintain a stable pressure. Treatment must start gradually and terminate just as gradually, and in elderly people with chronic hypertension, the treatment should be constant with a thoroughly selected dosage.
Dizziness, nausea, weakness, headaches, cardiac pains: all these signs separately or in combination may accompany hypertension and give ground for measuring blood pressure and consulting a competent physician. Age-related changes in the blood pressure are very slow, therefore even a 10-unit increase per 24 hours may induce signs of hypertension.

Vitafon 2 For Children

Any mother (or father as well, incidentally) knows how difficult it is to bring up a terror-son: constant distresses, innumerable bruises and scratches!
Everyone knows that after a hard injury, dislocation or sprain it is necessary to apply cold. And then what? It turns out that there is a way to accelerate the restoration process 2- or 3-fold. One should use the "Vitafon". It will quickly and effectively eliminate oedema and help to resolve a hematoma.

How soon after an injury may one use the "Vitafon"?
In case of bruises - within 2 hours; in dislocation or sprain - 8-10 hours; in wounds - approximately in 24 hours.
"Vitafon" excludes complications (putrefaction) and hinders the formation of scars.
In burns of 1-2 grade (with preserved skin) the "Vitafon" is simply indispensable if used within 3-4 min: then the burn manifestations can be avoided completely.
Frostbites, youth blackheads? - These challenges can also be answered by our "domestic doctor"! One should note that the "Vitafon" treatment is painless, pleasant and that children like it very much.
We are often asked whether it is possible to treat small children with the "Vitafon." What answer can we give? When a child screams because of stomach pain or for other reasons, its scream creates the same vibration as the "Vitafon" creates when used on the cervical portion of the spine, and produces possibly even a greater effect. The "Vitafon" effect is quite compatible with the organism - that is why the "Vitafon" therapy may be applied right after birth. The device was used for the first time on a new-born infant at the First Municipal Hospital of St.Petersburg - one of the most sound and modern medical institutions. The experience of using the device on several thousand patients has shown that age is of no great significance. Neither in the first day, nor at the age of 9-10 months did the children show any negative responses to the procedures (no excitation occurred, no insomnia, no appetite disorders). Moreover, the device exerted a general favourable effect upon the organism, improving the digestive process in particular. The only difference is that in children younger than 1 year of age, the only the first regimen should be used. However, just like in other cases, a correct diagnosis should first be made for the child and the application of this particular method should be substantiated.

"Vitafon" is already used for treatment of discirculatory encephalopathy in children and in adults, and therefore there is ground to suggest that the phoning may be used in encephalopathy of new-born infants, which occurs due to a disorder in brain circulation. The consequences of encephalopathy may include retardation in the development of the child, weakening of his or her vision acuity, appearance of migraine or dizziness in an early age, osteochondrosis of the spine cervical portion, and other undesirable phenomena. Maybe some day we will understand that the "Vitafon" therapy is a mandatory component of treating perinatal encephalopathy (PEP) and other consequences of a birth trauma. However, a certain time must elapse before we can quite responsibly declare that the vibroacoustic effect in this case should replace the currently widely spread method of treatment: electrophoresis upon the cervical portion of the spine.
This is all in the future, and meanwhile methods have been developed and studied in the use of the device in feces incontinence (encopresis), urine incontinence (enuresis), intestinal paresis, flat foot, and dysplasia of hip joints as described in the book.
Therefore, age is no hindrance for using the "Vitafon". It can prove useful for children as well as for adults and elderly people. In teenagers, from 10 to 16 years, prophylactic procedures of the "Vitafon" therapy on the spine may prevent problems in future. Even a small and seemingly insignificant pathology of the spine with age can transform into a serious disease. Unfortunately, children and teenagers are presented to a physician only when something is already wrong with them.
Usually youth ignore treatment in the belief that "it will pass away by itself." Unfortunately it does not always pass away, and often in a number of years it becomes only too evident when the remaining pathology transforms into a serious disease. At a mature age one is always prevented from caring for one's health by a job or by family affairs. It turns out that mainly pensioners apply for treatment. At an elderly age, however, it is much more difficult to cure a disease. In childhood, in order to avoid future problems, it is sufficient to undergo a few sessions with the "Vitafon," at a young age - to have 1 course of the treatment, at a mature age - 2 or 3 courses of the treatment. But at an elderly age, 4 to 6 months and sometimes longer are necessary to attain a substantial improvement. But even in elderly patients, if they are capable of undergoing regular yearly "Vitafon" therapy courses, there is a chance to rid oneself of many diseases, to improve one's condition and even to feel a new strength.
Now "Vitafon" has been in use since 1994. It is still too early, of course, to declare on the basis of accumulated data and observation that the device enables one to become a much younger person compared to what it says on one's passport. However, hundreds of letters quite eloquently testify: "Vitafon" helps to get rid of those conditions that tortured one for years, and to become a much more active person. And isn't this a manifestation of a rejuvenating effect? The "Vitafon" is useful for all ages, but the earlier one starts using the device, the greater chance one has to look much younger than one's actual age.

Vitafon 2 For Young Mothers

In the operating instructions for the device, pregnancy is included in the list of contraindications. Some users think therefore that one can get rid of a pregnancy with the aid of the "Vitafon". But this is incorrect. The vibro acoustic effect cannot possibly interrupt pregnancy. Microvibration will improve blood supply to the foetus and placenta, but it is unknown how it will affect the future child and this is no place for experimentation. That is why application of the "Vitafon" is not recommended for pregnant women.
Following birth, in the case of rupture formation, the "Vitafon" will accelerate healing of wounds and will prevent complications in the mother's organism. In this case it should be applied in the same way as for healing postoperative sutures. In 2-3 weeks after the birth, it is recommended to have 1 or 2 prophylactic courses of "Vitafon" therapy on the lumbar-sacral portion of the spine to normalise the menstrual cycle and functions of the abdominal cavity. The same treatment is expedient 2 or 3 months prior to a planned pregnancy, because in the future the foetus will place an increased load on the mother's spine (but only as recommended by a physician and after ultrasonic examination).
Bearing and birth of a child is associated with serious physiological and hormonal readjustments in a woman's organism. After birth, unfortunately, some adverse complications may develop: pain in the perineum due to severe stretching, ruptures or cuts (these pains may last 3-6 weeks); spasms in the intestine, constipation; a suture due to a Caesarean section. Haemorrhoids may appear or become exacerbated: a pathological condition of the rectum, followed by a stagnation of the blood in this area, and disorders associated with a blood circulation in the pelvic organs; cystitis: an inflammation of the bladder - for the same reason; osteochondrosis: pain in the back related to an increased weight on the spine. These disorders are very troublesome, all the more so because there is no time to be ill: the new member of the family demands constant care and attention! The situation may be greatly relieved by the presence of the "Vitafon" in the family. It will accelerate healing of sutures and wounds 2- or 3-fold, and one can start using it even on the 2nd-3rd day after birth. Our "domestic doctor" will also help to deal with constipation, osteochondrosis, cystitis, haemorrhoids, and a number of other possible problems. "Vitafon" - an effective and quick aid at home: one doesn't need to run to a doctor at outpatient clinics and procedure-delivering rooms (all the more difficult when on has an infant on one's hands). One more plus of treatment with the "Vitafon": it is possible to avoid synthetic preparations, because when breastfeeding, everything you take will find its way into the child's organism.
If chaps appear on nipples because of breastfeeding, use the "Vitafon". Occlusion of milk ducts and mastitis, too, can be successfully treated with vibroacoutic action. Even from the very first days of life, it is possible to treat a child with "Vitafon" for problems in connection with healing of the umbilical wound. In dysfunction of the intestine, the phoning quite favourably affects the new-born infant (it has been tested at the St.Petersburg Children's Municipal Hospital No. 1).
The "Vitafon" effect is akin to natural vibrations of the organism. The sonic vibration helps the organism to restore disordered functions and regenerate the damaged tissue because of an increase in the lymph- and blood circulation in the damaged area.

Vitafon 2 For Sportsmen

"Vitafon" is an irreplaceable aide in sports. Sportsmen during contests and training often become traumatised. And there is simply no time for recuperation. Accelerating fracture consolidation, healing of injuries and wounds 1.5-2.0-fold, "Vitafon" is a true companion of many sportsmen.

But "Vitafon" is suitable not only for sports traumas healing. Prophylactic procedures on cervical and lumbar-sacral portions of the spine enable one to improve co-ordination of movement and improve the results in ballet, figure-skating, sport gymnastics, and many other types of sports. During a contest, "Vitafon" can quickly restore the working capacity of muscles following an overload, relieve painful sensations, and prepare the sportsman for the next presentation. Moreover, special procedures of the "Vitafon" therapy on the eve of a performance provide an accumulation of oxygen and glucose in the muscles and thus maximise the result in sport competitions.
