- not for use by pregnant women
- not for use by those with epilepsy
- do not place the electrodes directly on the eyes, covering the mouth, on the front of the neck (especially the carotid sinus), or on the chest and the upper back or crossing through the heart. (I have also heard not to place the electrodes on open wounds)
Within the framework of holistic healing approaches, certain interactions (e.g. strengthening of the body's own mechanisms) are possible through frequency application:
- If amalgam fillings are present in the teeth, the application can lead to a mobilization of heavy metals in the cells of the body --- not directly from the dental fillings themselves --- and thus to a temporary deterioration of the state of health. We therefore recommend that you drink pelnty of water in addition to the aplication and take appropriate measures to support the removal of heavy metals.
- If you are taking medication at the same time, we recommend that you have the dose checked by your doctor at least once a month, especially if you are taking the following medications:
- blood thinners
- antidiabetics
- blood pressure lowering medication
- hormones (especially thyroid hormones)
- beta blockers
Healy and its applications are only suitable for adults.
