The machine does not make it possible to breathe more oxygen than usual: this is the principal difference with other oxygenation machines. It acts to allow breathed oxygen to be better assimilated on the cell level. The pulsated atmospheric air passes through a container and loads itself with volatile compounds contained in the ?Spécial Bol d?Air? mix.  The gas compounds we obtain are subjected to a chemical conversion enabling them to hook onto atmospheric oxygen: i.e. peroxydation.  The ?peroxidized? obtained compounds are very active, and, to allow maximum effectiveness, they must be inhaled at the time of their manufacture.  After having switched on the machine and selecting the length of your session, place yourself at least 10cm from the opening and breathe normally, by the nose.   Why breathe with the Bol d'Air? Oxygen is of prime importance to our body.  Unlike nutritive substances, oxygen cannot be stored in the tissues.  That?s why, all our life we are dependent on the oxygen we breathe and, more important still, we are dependent on the way we use it.  Lack of oxygen is a constant factor in the appearance of the simplest disorders and the most serious diseases.  However, we do not lack oxygen in the ambient air and most of the time an increase in breathed oxygen will have little effect.  It is much more interesting to facilitate its "assimilation" using a natural catalyst.  That is what the Bol d?Air allows, without causing hyper oxygenation or oxidation in the organism because the inhaled products are anti-radicalizing.   How does the Bol d'Air make it possible to improve health? In our body, the Bol d?Air restarts the natural process of oxygen assimilation which decreases with age, stress, illness, air pollution and diet.  Having regular inhalations increases vitality and improves the base of our organism by encouraging normal chemical operations.  Thus, we are naturally in a better position to react soundly to attacks on our health. Does the Bol d'Air lead to addiction?   The Bol d?Air promotes a process of general improvement.  In fact, one feels so much better that one rather tends to forget the sessions. There is no addiction. Is it necessary to have several sessions per day?  The results of the Bol d?Air depend on its use.  Only 3 minutes breathing has immediate effects on the nervous condition.  Some health professionals use the machine to obtain perfect relaxation for their patients.  The courses of treatment can be by sequences of three sessions per week.  But, of course, it is more interesting to have daily sessions and to regard the Bol d?Air as part of ones regular lifestyle.  In this case, it is possible to have several sessions per day because each inhalation initiates a process which will last approximately 4 hours.  One can thus have 3 minutes (or more) three times a day. There is neither toxicity nor dependence.   Are there any side effects to the treatment? The Bol d?Air, by stimulating the vitality of the organism, can lead to slight, momentary disturbances like those which one observes during a spa treatment, resumption of a sport, a change in diet or a homeopathic treatment.  This is not an iatrogenic effect but rather an elimination which can result in momentary tiredness.  At the time of these isolated inconveniences we advise not to stop the sessions but reduce them and space them temporarily.   Why isn't the Bol d'Air publicised as a remedy? The Bol d?Air Jacquier is not a drug.  It gives a risk-free answer to under-oxygenation from which we all suffer to different degrees.  It is in total harmony with other health methods (healthy and balanced diet, diet supplements, vitamins, allopathy, homeopathy...).  All the theories resulting in René Jacquier?s machine were the subject of a book, "De l?atome à la vie ? From atoms to life?.  The results obtained by the machine established its reputation, and many doctors and private individuals give testimonies of its effectiveness.  But it is only on modern scientific foundations that one can set up very detailed publicity.  So, Holiste started new works which validated the old ones (see ?scientific work?).  The results obtained have already led to several publications and presentations at world and European congresses.  Thus, it is now shown that it is indeed an oxygenation which stimulates the anti-radicalizing activity of the cell.   Bol d'Air et publicité ? Selon un décret du Journal officiel d'Août 2003 il ne nous est interdit pas de fabriquer, de vendre ni de faire de la publicité sur le Bol d'Air® Méthode Jacquier®, mais seulement d'utiliser des revendications thérapeutiques non basées sur des preuves scientifiques, jugées à l'époque insuffisantes. Avant ce décret, certains de nos documents d'information s'appuyaient sur les travaux, publications et théories de René Jacquier, ainsi que sur les très nombreux témoignages de particuliers et de médecins, accumulés depuis près de 50 ans. Le ministère de la santé ne tient plus compte des travaux scientifiques antérieurs aux années 80 pour justifier d'une allégation et considère les témoignages de médecin comme anecdotiques. Pour cette raison et depuis ce décret, nous ne revendiquons plus d'actions thérapeutiques liées a l'utilisation du Bol d'Air dans nos publicités mais un discours très généraliste sur le mieux être l'augmentation de la vitalité, etc. . .. D'autre part, nous animons plusieurs études scientifiques pluridisciplinaires pour valider les effets du Bol d' Air® avec des méthodes modernes et officiellement reconnues. Nous communiquons ces résultats. Ils nous permettent de confirmer les théorie de R.Jacquier. L'utilisation du test KRL, sur l'évolution du statut anti-radicalaire de l'organisme après Bol d'Air®, nous permet d'affirmer qu'il s'agit bien d'une méthode d'oxygénation, non oxydante pour le terrain et anti-radicalaire pour la cellule. Dans notre démarche nous avons le soutient de nombreux partenaires comme, l'ANVAR-OSEO (Ministère de la Recherche), la DRIRE, le FEDER (Europe). Le Professeur De Cristofaro, (Hôpital de GUILIANOVA /Italie), a déjà démontré et publié ses résultats concernant l'action du BOL d'AIR® sur le métabolisme et dans le traitement de l'obésité, le Professeur LINO, médecin et chirurgien, spécialisé en médecine du sport (La sapienza/Université de ROME), a obtenu des résultats spectaculaires sur l'élasticité musculaire, la force explosive.... Nous sommes conscients du fait que certains articles de presse ou communication Internet peuvent semer le doute au sein de notre clientèle, aussi, dans le but de mieux vous informer, nous vous invitons à prendre connaissance des différents articles scientifiques et résumés, établis par Béatrice Mercier (Biologiste, Attachée à la Faculté Gabriel de DIJON) Données scientifiques Ainsi vous serez sans doute conforté dans votre choix d'utiliser le Bol d'Air® et de profiter de ses bienfaits . Must we use the Bol d'Air only when we're sick? No, it is very useful in the lifestyle of the whole family, from the youngest to the elderly.  It is currently used by top sportsmen in excellent health (study by Professor Andréa Lino, University of Sapienza), for preparation before competition and for recovery after.  Many private individuals use it simply to keep a good shape.   In which fields is the Bol d'Air used? Since its creation in 1946, various doctors have used the Bol d?Air and published their findings.  Their studies related to respiratory, cardiovascular and digestive diseases.  Currently, the Bol d?Air is being tested on the obese, sportsmen and for its capacity to increase the anti-radicalizing potential of the cell.  Other health professionals who use it are physiotherapists, dentists, veterinary surgeons and naturopaths...  Our private customers also use it as part of their lifestyle.   What are the roles of oxygen? Oxygen provides the energy necessary for even our slightest movements, heartbeat or even thought.  It is involved in reactions as essential as eliminating carcinogenic products, pollutants, alcohol, drugs or pathogenic bacteria or viruses.  It is also involved in various enzyme processes when cholesterol is transformed into hormones (oestrogen, testosterone, cortisol, aldosterone, DHEA).  It has a positive anti-infectious effect and acts on healing and oedemas.   Are we lacking oxygen?   All of us are almost always in hypoxia (= lack of oxygen).  It is certainly the case for people suffering from respiratory disease (asthma, bronchitis, respiratory insufficiency disease?), but not only.  Some metabolic diseases, like obesity, are related to hypoxia:  the fatter we are, the less oxygen our cells have at their disposal.  Add to this, the general conditions of life (stress, pollution, bad diet, bad lifestyle, tobacco ....), or transitional states like stiff muscles, which indicate that your aching muscles or organism need oxygen.....   What are the consequences of lack of oxygen? They are too many to mention them all.  For example, if you snore you are likely to be more tired, and therefore more careless and have accidents; you are more at risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes...  For children (yes, they snore too!), the risks are behavioural problems, hyperactivity, learning difficulties and concentration?.  In pregnant women suffering from hypoxia (e.g. smokers), babies risk a lower birth weight than normal and mothers are more at risk of pre-eclampsia.  Lack of oxygen impairs metabolism, facilitates the deposit of waste, and influences the morale?   What are free radicals? They are kinds of "chemical scissors" that are extremely reactive.  They "attack" the first molecules they meet, good or bad.  They are weapons with good and bad effects: on the one hand, they eliminate pathogenic microbes or tumorous cells, but on the other they can destroy organic tissue.   What is oxidative stress?  Cells naturally manufacture free radicals and have an effective anti-radicalizing defence system.  When this system is overloaded problems occur:  this is called "oxidative stress".   Do people in good health manufacture free radicals? Yes, they do. It is normal that our cells are permanently manufacturing free radicals. But they are able to protect themselves by manufacturing some neutralising substances, such as SOD, or by absorbing anti-radicalizing elements from food, for instance Vitamins E, C?   Which diseases have free radicals as their origin? In large quantities, free radicals are very dangerous.  They are at the origin of ageing and very many degenerative diseases:  allergies, tissue anoxia, arthritis, asthma, arteriosclerosis, burns, cancer, cataracts, cirrhosis, ulcerating colitis, sugar diabetes, emphysema, HIV infection, post-ischemic reperfusion injury, degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer?s, Crohn?s, Parkinson?s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease), respiratory distress syndrome in adults, varicose veins..... In small quantities, they are beneficial by making it possible for the body to fight against the pathogenic microbes and tumorous cells.   What is the relationship between oxygen and free radicals? In biology, it is balance that counts:  a surplus as much as a lack of oxygen are both at the origin of abnormal creation of free radicals.  The defence system of the organism is overloaded, and there is oxidative stress...   Is the Bol d'Air at the origin of free radicals in the organism? No, and that has been scientifically proven by the KRL test, an international test, recorded by the French Ministry of Health and the EEC. It consists of subjecting cells to a violent attack of free radicals.  The more the cells are taken from healthy people, the more they resist.  It is proven, by this test, that in the presence of the volatile fraction of the Bol d?Air (= what you breathe), the cells resist 25% longer than without the Bol d?Air!   What is the "Special Bol d'Air" liquid? No other product can be used in the Bol d?Air.  It is controlled by Ecocert, and manufactured from an oleoresin of pine Pinus pinaster.   What about the maintenance of the machine? Cleaning the glass regularly (every month) is essential with 70° alcohol.  It is very important to let it dry well before restarting the machine.  CAUTION: Never put alcohol inside the tubes connected to the machine.  Never use water or detergent except on the plastic parts.  Wood can be maintained with the used ?Special Bol d?Air? liquid.   Are the materials fragile? Only the glass is fragile and requires meticulous handling.  To aid the sliding motion of the various parts, a lubricant is offered free.  To obtain this, just phone the Laboratory.   What is the life of the machine? Holiste manufactures the machine, and is available for any malfunctioning problem.  In theory, the life of a machine is limited only by incorrect use and lack of maintenance, i.e. in the event of irregular changing of the terpenic compound and in not cleaning the glass.   The price of the machine is too high!   Both innovator and manufacture and at the same time developer, our wish is to make this method, original and exceptional in its results, accessible to everybody.  We have made every effort to ensure the machines are practical, more powerful and less expensive.  They are technically complex, with high-tech elements often manufactured unit by unit.  We chose to carry on production in France which still remains partly hand-crafted.  From another point of view, if the investment appears considerable, the cost of operation is very low.  A session comes to less than 0.08 Euros (or three times less expensive than a dietary supplement capsule).  Furthermore, the whole family can take advantage of it over the years, thus avoiding many other types of medications.  We understand that the Bol d?Air can still appear too expensive, but remember that you can have sessions with our different partners (see their addresses on this website) or choose a system of monthly rental.
