The Zyto Scan
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO GET A SCAN? – Getting a ZYTO biocommunication scan is a simple and painless process. Simply place your hand on the ZYTO hand cradle while a scan is run. During the scan, subtle energetic impulses are introduced to your body through multiple input channels including the hand cradle. Your body will naturally respond to this communication and the ZYTO software records each response. Although a few people may be able to sense this energetic communication, most are unaware that the scan is taking place.
Depending on your healthcare provider administering the scan, the length of the scan can be as little as three minutes or much longer.
TYPES OF SCANS – Scans are organized into what are called biosurveys. You’ve probably filled out a survey before; a series of questions that you provide answers to. A biosurvey is essentially the same thing, only you don’t answer the ‘questions’ consciously, you answer them subconsciously. With biocommunication scanning, the ‘question’ is the subtle energetic impulse called a Virtual Stimulus Item or VSI, and your response, which is recorded and analyzed by the ZYTO software, is a change in the electrical properties of your skin.
Different biosurveys will include different VSIs. Some biosurveys are general in nature and include VSIs concerned with overall wellness, others include VSIs relating to specific areas of the body or body processes, and some may deal with environmental factors like toxins or allergens. A biosurvey can be as varied and versatile as any other survey.
Health practitioners use ZYTO products to help them make better decisions for their patients and clients. That’s why ZYTO technology is referred to as decision support technology. It’s important to note that ZYTO scans do not treat or diagnose.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET MY ZYTO SCAN? – Regular ZYTO scanning will provide you and your healthcare provider with up-to-date biocommunication information as your body and health needs change. Your healthcare provider will guide you with the specific schedule best for you.
ACCURACY – Clinical studies have compared ZYTO scan reports with results produced by generally accepted diagnostic methods. One pilot study conducted in Beijing China compared the results of a four-minute ZYTO scan to a two-day diagnostic workup on several hundred patients. The results showed a high correlation. This study was not undertaken with the idea that biocommunication scanning is an alternative to diagnostic testing, but to determine the clinical value of scan results as a guide for doctors ordering diagnostic workups.
SAFETY – There are no known contraindications for properly administered ZYTO scanning. The amount of energy used in a scan is so low that it is safe for infants, children, adults of all ages, for people with pacemakers, and pregnant women.
Electromagnetic Radiation
Electromagnetic Radiation – Why it Matters:
You might be surprised to know that everything your body did today was made possible by electricity. The organic computer, known as your brain, that runs the whole show, emits waves that are electrical. All the sensory information (like hunger and pain) it sends and receives is electrical. This includes the neurons that discharge when you move a muscle, the signals that tell your body to heal a wound, and even the beat of your heart.
The electromagnetism of the body is so crucial to our functioning that even conventional medicine uses it on a daily basis in diagnostic testing. Every single electron, cell, tissue, and organ in your body carries a very specific frequency or range of frequencies–an electronic signature–that can be measured. This principle is utilized in some of the most accurate and life-saving diagnostic procedures from the electrocardiogram for the heart, the electroencephalogram for the brain, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the body.
It seems that in addition to being physical beings, on a more basic level, we are beings of energy whose chemical processes are dependent upon the free flow of that energy through our bodies. Findings in the field of physics have confirmed this, beginning with Einstein’s discovery that matter and energy are basically interchangeable.
The findings of modern physics are now echoing those of traditional chinese medicine. Both suggest that our bodies are essentially a composite of billions or even trillions of frequencies. These frequencies are expressed in the form of cells, organs, and tissues, which are constantly vibrating and communicating with each other – and the external environment.
We are wired to respond to the electromagnetic forces in the universe, from the fields surrounding far-off celestial bodies, to the vibes we pick up from each other, to the radio waves from the thousands of cell towers that dot the landscape.
Coming to terms with this basic knowledge can help us to understand how the bombardment of electromagnetic frequencies we’re experiencing in this day and age of technology can most certainly have an effect on our long-term health and well-being.
We, and the universe we live in, produce and operate in a sea of both natural and unnatural electrical and magnetic fields. It is known that there is a very narrow range of electromagnetic frequencies to which the brain cells of animals and humans respond favorably, and it roughly matches the frequencies produced naturally by our world. In recent decades, the scale has become abnormally tipped as technology advances, and more and more, we’re surrounded by a barrage of EMF pollution every where we go.
“Electropollution” is slang for the unseen, unfelt, and unnatural EMFs – the electromagnetic fields generated by everything from high-tension electrical wires and wiring in the walls of homes/offices, to cell phones and wireless routers (and everything in-between). Some people are highly sensitive–allergic, you might say–to EMF emissions. They can develop headaches, arthritic pain, insomnia, chest discomfort, heart arrhythmias, anxiety, and depression. Others may not show an obvious, acute sensitivity, but are unknowingly exposing themselves to something that has the potential to manifest quite unpleasantly in years to come.
All things considered, our technological world is not likely to slow down any time soon, and likewise, none of us really want to give up our gadgets of convenience. Living safely with technology, although somewhat of a balancing act, is definitely possible. With just a little bit of knowledge we can make informed decisions, easily avoiding unnecessary risks to our health. You may not be able to see electropollution, but your body responds to it as though it were a cloud of toxic chemicals or a glass of water contaminated with a heavy metal. Invisible or not, poison is poison.
This invisible pollution not only creates free radical damage – degrading the body, and accelerating the aging process – it reduces the body’s ability to heal itself from that same damage.
If it’s so dangerous, why are we not being told and not being protected?
Unfortunately, the story is not new. Many of the largest sources of EMF radiation are tied to multi-billion dollar industries. Enough said.
The purpose of this assessment is to review your particular environment, be sure you’re aware of the various, simple precautions you can take to reduce unnecessary EMF exposure, and ultimately, show you the best way to live with technology so you can prevent and even reverse its negative side effects.

Ways to use up Milk
If you find you have an abundance of milk on hand and are looking for ways to use it up before it turns, here are some tasty options:
SMOOTHIES-&-MILK-SHAKES
RICE-PUDDING
PANCAKES
BAKED-MAC-&-CHEESE
OATMEAL/PORRIDGE/CEREAL
CREAMY-CORN-SOUP
CREAMY-CARROT-SOUP
CREAMY-POTATO-CHEDDAR-SOUP
CREAMY-TOMATO-SOUP
CREAMY-ROASTED-PARSNIP-&-PEAR-SOUP
FETTUCINE-ALFREDO
Keep in mind, freezing milk is also a viable option. When I do so, I freeze in specific portions. For example, I’ll freeze 2 & 1/2 cups of milk in a large, glass mason jar which is the exact amount I need to make a big batch of breakfast rice pudding. For the record, it’s easiest to use frozen milk to cook with, as it won’t be completely smooth after thawing (and therefore probably an unpleasant consistency for drinking). Although, if you’d like, you can just give it a quick whirl in the blender and it should be good as new – in smooth, drinkable condition.
Be sure to thaw milk in the refrigerator. It will take about 2 days to thaw (at least, this is the case with a volume of 16 oz), though you don’t need to wait until it’s completely thawed if you’re cooking with it. As long as it’s melted enough to pour into a pot, you’re good to go. You can always use a butter knife to break up the last big chunk of ice if you’re having trouble getting it out of the jar.
Fettucine Alfredo
1 pound whole grain fettucine (we use brown rice fettucine)
6 TBSP butter or ghee
1 shallot, minced
1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, divided
1/2 tsp pure salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish (optional)
- Cook the fettucine in salted water until al dente.
- While noodles are cooking, melt the ghee or butter in a saucepan (large enough to eventually hold the pasta) over medium heat.
- Add shallots and saute just a few minutes until tender.
- Add milk, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer.
- Cook, stirring frequently until sauce has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes and remove from heat.
- Drain noodles in a colander, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking liquid.
- Add the noodles, reserved liquid, and half of the cheese into the butter-milk mixture and toss to combine thoroughly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide into individual servings, sprinkle with remaining Parmesan, garnish with parsley or basil if using, and serve with lemon wedges if you’d like.
Serves 3 – 6, depending on portion size.

SIDE NOTES:
~ As most already know, fettucine alfredo is a pretty heavy, rich dish. Not one that appeals to me very often, but once in a while, thick, cheesy noodles <em>do</em> hit the spot. When you’ve got milk in the fridge that you have to use up, this is one way to do it.
~ If you don’t use milk products, I highly recommend this delicious, dairy free, alternative, noodle dish (which I actually prefer myself if I’m not trying to use up an abundance of milk): FETTUCCINE-W-PINE-NUT-SAUCE.
~ Using a microplane hand grater/zester for the cheese yields a very fine shred that melts easily into a smooth sauce. Of course, you can shred it with a regular shredder, but the sauce might be slightly lumpy (not that big of a deal). Alternately, you can use pre-shredded cheese, but for best taste and optimal freshness, shredding yourself will yield superior results.
~ You can substitute garlic for the shallot if you prefer.
If eating gluten free, be sure to choose a gluten free pasta.Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Egg Free, Nut Free, Sugar Free, Vegan, Grain Free, Raw

Note to self: Cook Tinkyada brown rice fettucine no longer than 8 minutes (contrary to package directions).
How Our Cells Communicate
Information is the communication of knowledge and each cell of your body is built for communication. The outer cell wall is comprised of two layers of fat, called a bi-lipid layer. The lipid molecules are organized in a crystalline pattern that facilitates communication.
You may be familiar with crystals and their use. Using very simple components, and no outside energy source, a crystal radio allows you to capture the waves from a radio station and convert them into audio energy.
The crystal like structure of each of the 70 trillion cells that make up your body allows you to receive information in a similar way. As the cells compress and expand their structure generates the energy needed to pass information along, allowing your entire body to function in a coordinated and healthy way.
As your cells communicate ZYTO technology makes it possible to ‘eaves drop’ and listen to the conversation. This is accomplished by monitoring the changes in galvanic skin response, or GSR, as well as subtle changes in spoken voice. As we listen we apply proprietary formulas and extract meaning from what your body is saying; but that’s only half the equation, the other half is talking. Talking in this sense is communicating information to your body that will stimulate a response.
To talk to your body ZYTO technology converts computer data to signatures or frequencies that stimulate cellular response. We call these signatures virtual stressors or queries. The process of talking with the body can be seen as a stimulus-response exercise. ZYTO technology outputs a query (a virtual stressor) and the body responds. We’re asking a question and listening to the answer.
Stress as a Communication Pathway:
Most often, when we hear the word stress we think of anxiety or nervous tension. The clinical definition of stress however is a positive thing. In fact, without stress you’d be dead. Physiological stress is your body’s reaction to any stressor. It is generated in an attempt to maintain balance. Stressors can be environmental, emotional, or physical. For example, fatigue from staying up too late, the emotional strain from a death in the family, or a flu virus that has invaded your body are all stressors.
When a stressor presents itself your body uses biotelemetry to spread the word, communicating from cell to cell to enlist sufficient resources to compensate for the stressor. When the body’s response is adequate we continue to enjoy good health, we are in balance with our stressors. This is called homeostasis. Homeostasis is not a static position; the body is constantly making adjustments, an estimated 100 million per second. For the most part we are unaware of these adjustments because our conscious mind is not designed to handle that much detail. But even though we don’t hear the music, the dance goes on.
The music of this dance is what Biocommunication listens to, particularly the music of GSR. But instead of presenting the body with actual stressors, this technology generates virtual stressors, queries. In this manner the body can be presented with a large number of simulated challenges, or questions, and by listening to the biotelemetry reflected in GSR the Biocommunication device receives the body’s answers. It’s a stimulus-response experience.

The History
The Zyto Biocommunication hand cradle is a bio-information tool designed to assist health practitioners gather client-specific information. It facilitates a conversation between the computer and the client at an autonomic or subconscious level. This conversation is essentially an extension of the intake process involving a written health history, as Biocommunication can be compared to the health history form and the pen used to fill in the blanks. Although the printed form and the pen are not medical devices the information they collect can have significant clinical value. This is also true for Biocommunication; gathering information is the objective. Information is the transmission of knowledge.
There are various ways to transmit knowledge. The communication pathway that Biocommunication accesses is Galvanic Skin Response or GSR. GSR is concerned with the conductivity (how well something conducts electricity) of the largest organ in the body, the skin.
A German Professor named Tarchanoff first discovered skin conductivity around 1888. In the early 1900’s Dr. Carl Jung established that GSR measurements could track physiological arousal or stress in the body. In the 1930’s Dr. Hans Selye began to uncover the importance of understanding stress and what information it could tell us about the body. These discoveries have led to the creation of many common devices, such as the polygraph test. Later in the 20th century, Dr. Reinholt Voll and others identified further uses for GSR, including the monitoring of acupuncture points to determine the condition of the body’s energy meridians.
In the 1980’s, Dr. Vaughn R Cook began to build on these applications. The initial goal was to use computers and GSR to gather data to aid healthcare professionals in making diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. After designing one such instrument, he began in 2001 to design a fully automated device that could expand into non-clinical use. However, the first such application was the LSA Pro, released after three years of development in late 2004.
Much like a polygraph technician asking a subject questions and evaluating the body’s response, Biocommunication uses GSR to track responses to computer generated signatures called ‘queries’, or ‘virtual stressors’. Biocommunication asks the body questions by generating a query and monitors corresponding fluctuations in GRS to record its answers.
Initially the Biocommunication scan determines what is called the patient’s stress profile. A stress profile is comprised of the most exaggerated responses to a given set of queries. These responses are considered ‘out of range’ or significant enough that they warrant further attention. The Biocommunication device then uses the stress profile as a measure against which further queries are rated. These further queries help identify balancing options, including nutriceutical products.
Just like the written health history, this information serves as a guide for clinical decisions: Are specific diagnostic tests warranted? Which therapeutic query is the client showing the most positive (balancing) response? The Biocommunication process quickly gathers and assesses data that would otherwise be missed.
Commonly Asked Questions
How does the technology work?
In the most basic terms, ZYTO technology uses quantum physics as well as established Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) technology to measure fluctuations in electrical conductivity of the skin. A client places their hand on the hand cradle, the ZYTO software sends stimuli to the body using digital signatures that represent actual things, and the fluctuations in GSR are measured and interpreted. The response helps the practitioner to see how the body responds to the items being assessed, which ones it prefers, and how much it prefers them. This knowledge is used by healthcare practitioners to maximize their results by helping them choose the right solution for their clients at the right time.
Are the results accurate?
Yes. ZYTO practitioners have performed tens of thousands of assessments worldwide. Practitioners have also used other modalities to evaluate the results of their ZYTO software with great results. Recently, a hospital study was conducted that showed a 95.2% correlation between the results of ZYTO’s technology and the recommendations of the doctor.
Are the results reproducible?
One of the most common questions that arises as people are getting to know the technology and how it works, is why the actual data from the scans changes from one assessment to another. As a matter of fact, because of what we are measuring,we don’t expect reproducibility.ZYTO technology measures the most rapidly changing field in the body, the energetic field, which processes 400 million impulses of information per second. When dealing with complex mind- matter systems repeatable measurements are not expected. Instead you look for patterns and trends.
Are there any research studies on the technology?
There are myriad studies that have been conducted over the last century on GSR and its use in measuring the body’s reaction to stimuli. In addition, several independent studies have been conducted by health professionals using ZYTO’s technology.
Can the technology be used to treat or diagnose?
ZYTO technology is not designed to treat or diagnose. It is a tool designed to assist the healthcare practitioner in finding the body’s preferences for any list of items. This information is invaluable in helping the practitioner determine which product is going to maximize therapeutic results for the client.
Do you have FDA approval?
Yes. ZYTO’s hand cradle is an FDA approved, class two, medical device deemed safe for adults and children.
How It Helps
Bio-communication – Why?
With the development of ZYTO biocommunication, it is easy to identify your body’s biological preference for things relating to your health.
1 – Insight into your health.
Reports from your ZYTO scan provide you with information that may help identify your individual needs such as nutritional support, appropriate medication, or clinical assistance. Identifying items to which you have an unusual response gives you and your healthcare provider insight about health-related issues that may be keeping you from functioning at a balanced state.
2 – Identify your biological preference for nutrition.
Does one size fit all when it comes to nutritional support? Of course not! ZYTO scans identify your body’s unique positive responses; we call these your biological preferences. Knowing your biological preferences helps you and your healthcare provider choose the nutritional supplements that will support your individual health needs.
3 – Save Money.
There are a lot of good nutritional supplements but you probably don’t need them all. Knowing your biological preferences helps you choose products that are right for you. Choosing well means your investment in supplements is more likely to pay off, providing you the benefits you need and saving money on things you don’t need.
4 – Increase Energy.
Your body consumes energy in its effort to maintain a healthy balance. When your body uses this energy to deal with life’s extra challenges, like fighting a cold, you will have less energy to perform your day-to-day physical activities. ZYTO helps you identify the additional support your body may need to maintain balance and keep your energy levels high. By providing your body extra help when it’s needed, you’re more likely to address issues while they are small, leaving you with more energy to enjoy life.
5 – Track your Health.
ZYTO biocommunication scans give you information ‘in the moment.’ Tracking your scans over time can be beneficial, allowing you to identify trends or long term issues that you will want to pay particular attention to. Keeping track of your past can help you predict the future, and reviewing your past ZYTO reports gives you essentially a look back through time.
6 – Verbal Communication has limitations.
Have you ever asked a sick toddler or a child with autism how they are feeling? Even for adults, using words to explain how you feel can be a challenge. Biocommunication opens up an entirely new communication channel with your body. By supplementing verbal communication with ZYTO biocommunication, a second perspective is established that can provide helpful insights and information about your health.
How It Works
Your body is energetically connected and constantly in communication with itself. The primary function of this communication is to maintain overall health and functionality. Biocommunication between your body and ZYTO software takes advantage of this and is a breakthrough method for ‘listening to’ and ‘communicating with’ your body.
By interacting energetically with your body the ZYTO software will essentially ‘ask your body questions’ and record your body’s responses or ‘answers’. Information gathered in this way can help you be more proactive about your health and help you and your healthcare provider make better decisions regarding your healthcare.
ZYTO scans do not diagnose or recommend treatments, they simply provide information that should be considered by a qualified healthcare professional in determining a course of action.
HOW ZYTO TECHNOLOGY WORKS:
Energetic Communication:
Every cell in your body is networked together, sending and receiving information to coordinate the millions of functions your body processes every day.
When your body encounters a health challenge, it uses these communication pathways to direct available resources to restore balance. Your body is so effective that in most instances you won’t even know there was a challenge.
When your body encounters a bigger health challenge, you may begin to show symptoms. Symptoms are the outward expression of your body’s best efforts to deal with these bigger challenges. Common symptoms may include elevated body temperature, swelling, pain, tiredness, or a cough. Once you recognize a symptom you can begin to assist the healing process. Things like getting more sleep, drinking more water, taking nutritional supplements, or medication can help your body deal with these challenges.
Too often we ignore our health until we get so sick that symptoms appear. Wouldn’t you rather support your body’s day-to-day efforts to deal with the little challenges?
But how can you learn what your body needs? Whether your challenges are great or small wouldn’t it be nice if you could just ask your body?
ZYTO Biocommunication:
ZYTO technology enables a computer to communicate with your body. By placing your hand on the Hand Cradle, an energetic connection is established allowing ZYTO to essentially ‘ask your body questions’ and record your body’s responses or ‘answers’. We call this biocommunication, and it can provide you and your healthcare provider with powerful new insights about your health.
During a ZYTO scan, subtle energetic impulses called virtual stimulus items (VSIs) are introduced to your body. Your body responds to these impulses in a positive or negative way and ZYTO measures and records your responses.
VSIs are representative of a wide range of things like foods, nutritional supplements, prescription medications, body organs and systems, and therapeutic treatments.
VSI’s can be organized into scanning sequences called biosurveys. You can think of biosurveys as questionnaires that your body provides the answers to.
Biosurveys are designed by some of the best and brightest healthcare professionals in the world for the purpose of gathering the most pertinent information from your body.
Your body’s responses indicate what is referred to as Biological Preference and Biological Aversion. Biological preference and aversion simply means the VSIs to which you have the most positive or negative responses.
At the completion of the biosurvey, your body’s responses are documented in the form of a report.
So whether your body is dealing with big challenges, little challenges or if you are seeking proactive health support, information gathered in this way can help you and your healthcare provider make better decisions for your health.
ZYTO scans are designed to help you and your healthcare provider make better decisions about your health. They do not diagnose illness or disease and are not intended to treat any health condition.
