The evidence · for practitioners

The evidence you can stand behind.

This is the research you point clients to, and the basis on which you justify the work — studied at three levels: in living cells, in peer-reviewed journals, and in real people, across more than 20 years and several institutions.

Research has been conducted by Professor Hemal Patel at the UC San Diego School of Medicine, and by researchers at Holos University, the University of Teesside, and the Centre for Biofield Sciences in India. Every entry names its design and sample size, so you can weigh it — and represent it — accurately.

Why this matters in practice

Credible evidence, stated plainly.

In this category, the fastest way to lose a thoughtful client is to overstate a number. So we don't. We give you the study, its design, its sample size, and its honest finding — the record you can share with confidence.

Cell → published → people

Three levels of evidence

Cellular mechanism, a peer-reviewed paper, and studies in real people — each quoted at its own strength, with its design named.

Over 20 years

A long body of work

The evidence spans more than two decades, from early independent studies to a 2025 peer-reviewed paper and a real-world cohort of thousands of users.

Several institutions

Named, checkable sources

Research has taken place at UC San Diego, Holos University, the University of Teesside, and the Centre for Biofield Sciences in India. Where it's published, anyone can look it up.

Tier 1 · peer-reviewed

Published and independently reviewed.

The strongest evidence in the set: work that has been through peer review, so anyone can check it. The canonical, published figures — stated exactly as they appear.

Infoceuticals · human & cellular

Studied cell to person.

Infoceuticals are energized, structured water imprinted with specific information, made to support the body's own function and signalling. Beyond the published paper, here is the human and cellular evidence — design and size stated for each.

Human studies

Independent and internal studies in people.

Cellular / lab-stage

Mechanistic work in cells at UC San Diego / VA San Diego.

Cellular / lab-stage

Cell Driver

Higher mitochondrial density (≈50%), lower reactive oxygen species, and increased membrane fluidity, measured in cells.

Cellular / lab-stage

Skin Driver (ED10)

Wound closure increased +49% at 24 hours; collagen-1 increased +28% at 72 hours, in a cell model.

miHealth · the voltage tool

Light, energy and microcurrent — for comfort and recovery.

miHealth uses light and energy, including microcurrent, to support comfort, recovery and everyday wellbeing. Here is the human evidence.

Human study · N=60

miHealth MIND + meta-healing.

An internal study, N=60. Improvement across measured variables, largest in emotional wellbeing and digestion.

Human study · N=6

Shift workers.

A small study of shift workers, N=6. Better sleep and energy, and easier night-to-day transitions.

miHealth outcome study · N=251

88%

reported a benefit after their first session.

miHealth outcome study · N=251
93%

reported a benefit after their second session.

miHealth outcome study · N=251
85%

of long-standing, chronic-condition users reported clear improvement.

miHealth outcome study · N=251

An internal outcome study — real-world self-reporting, not a controlled trial.

The GEM · the resistance tool

A pilot — reported honestly.

The GEM reads the pulse wave, translates it into a read on state, and signals back toward balance. Here is what one 60-day pilot measured — N=20, observational, no control group.

Anxiety · GAD-7

Lower anxiety — significant

Anxiety scores fell, and the change was statistically significant (GAD-7, p=0.007).

Observational · significant (p=0.007)

Fatigue

Less fatigue — reported

Participants reported less fatigue across the 60 days.

Observational · reported

Cellular markers

Measurable change

A measurable change in cellular energy markers, tracked alongside the self-reported outcomes.

Observational · tracked alongside

GEM pilot (Patel & Simpson, Versea) · 60-day observational · N=20 · no control group.

Across thousands of users

A large, real-world signal.

Alongside the studies, our cloud data captures how people change over repeat visits — a much larger picture you can point to.

≈6,000

users with two or more visits showed a statistically significant improvement — the improvement was biggest where people started lowest.

How to read the evidence

Three tiers. We label every one.

Strength varies across what you've just read. Represent each piece at its own tier — it's how a credible practice stays credible.

Tier 2 — Human (internal & independent)

Studies and cohorts run or commissioned in real people.

  • Infoceuticals: 6-month double-blind study (N=54) and more.
  • miHealth outcome study (N=251); GEM pilot (N=20); ≈6,000-user cohort.

Tier 3 — Cellular (lab-stage)

Mechanism in cells at UC San Diego — how it works, not yet a human result.

  • Cell Driver and Skin Driver studies.
  • Not yet peer-reviewed.

Structure/function and general-wellness statements only. Nothing here diagnoses, treats, cures, or prevents any disease. Strength of evidence varies by tier, and observational or pilot studies show association, not causation. BWS is an energetic assessment — not a medical diagnosis. The GEM and miHealth are not medical devices; Infoceuticals support the body's own function and signalling. Clients keep their medical team — this sits underneath it.
