Joy Kong, MD explains how AVACEN uses mild heating to reduce blood viscosity by less than one degree, which the device claims stimulates microcirculation through the body's 60,000 miles of capillaries. The speakers compare the effect to acupuncture without needles and argue that blood thickens with age as a non-Newtonian fluid.
A very slight amount—less than a degree.
Approximately 60,000 miles of capillaries.
So you're saying by forcing the blood to stay in the vessels, and the vessels are dilated and heated up, then there's a reduction in viscosity of the blood. Right.
A very slight, like, less than a degree. So your blood is a non Newtonian liquid, much like. Like molasses. And the older we get, the thicker it gets. And so when you thin out the blood by less than a degree, your body will react to that and go, oh, this feels really good. Because your microcirculation will kick in, and it's truly astounding what it will do. And then when it travels head to toe, even through the blood brain barrier, because you have 60,000 miles of these capillaries, incredible things happen. So that's why I kind of equate it to acupuncture without the needles, because we're kind of opening and moving the qi.
