How to do the RBH Test
Step 1: Rest and breathe normally for some time to allow heart rate to slow
Step 2: Breathe deeply but slowly in and out for 30, 45 or 60 seconds (use same each test)
Step 3: Take one extra-deep breath, hold it and start timer
Step 4: Exhale slowly when you find it starting to get difficult
Step 5: Stop timer when you begin your next inhale
The RBH is your total time for one cycle. Repeat the cycle 3 times and record the longest of the three as your RBH result.
Additional Information on RBH Test:
The RBH test is required as part of feedback form for 20% rebate program. Few more points to know before your first RBH Test.
Oxygen Loading:
Oxygen Loading loading occurs on Step 2. You oxygen load prior to each RBH test so that each RBH test is done with the maximum amount of oxygen. It is IMPERATIVE YOU OXYGEN LOAD FOR SAME LENGTH OF TIME for each RBH test or measurements will be inaccurate. It is also IMPERATIVE you try and keep the ambient temperature somewhat consistent. Ambient temperature does have an effect on RBH as body uses more (or less energy) to maintain core body temperature at 98.6F.
When you oxygen-load, breathe deeply and exhale fully. Do this S-L-O-W-L-Y so as not to elevate heart rate or hyperventilate. Oxygen load for between 30-60 seconds for best result, but keep the time consistent from test to test.
If done correctly your weekly and monthly RBH test improvements are directly proportional to the changes in your mitochondrial efficiency. Generally, RBH time rises steeply over the first few weeks and then more gradually after that. It has been known in some cases (though not normally) to lag a week in some individuals so don’t be alarmed if it fails to rise.
If it goes down, we’d like to know that immediately, please contact us.
A variation of this is do your oxygen load as above, then exhale fully and record time until next breath must be taken. If this variation is used, please indicate on your feedback form.
Body Position:
You’ll want to do the RBH in approximately the SAME POSTURE each time (laying down, sitting reclined or sitting upright); body position affects energy
required to pump blood. I prefer to do mine semi-reclined with eyes closed, opening them intermittently only to check the time but not until I’m nearing where I know I can’t hold for much longer.
Stay consistent. Use one position or the other but do not change them for most accurate RBH. Make sure you have a clock or watch with second hand within easy viewing distance (where no movement is required to see time besides opening your eyes).
Timing Parameters:
Start timing upon completion of inhale. End time when you begin your next breath. You may exhale a little at a time or all at once. Stay consistent from test to test. Decide which is better for you during your baseline testing.
After your 90 day trial is complete, continue to monitor your RBH once or twice a year and you should see it rise little by little for years (mine rose for 5 or 6 years). During that time frame, expect incremental performance enhancement on psychological, neurological & physiological levels.
We suggest only one RBH test per-WEEK during the first month of EarthPulse™; once per-MONTH thereafter so practice cannot be associated with improved RBH during your 90 day trial. Once every 6 months after the first 3 months; once a year after the first couple of years. Hold-time will improve quickly the first few weeks and more gradually after that.
When your RBH levels out, you’ve grown as young as you’re going to get and should then begin aging again, albeit at much-much slower pace as cell turnover & death (mitosis & apoptosis respectively) are slowed to a crawl.
