Biofeedback covers a wider range of equipment than most people realise, and the word gets applied to devices that work on quite different principles. This page explains the general idea, where our own system fits within it, and — just as importantly — what it does not do.
The general idea
A biofeedback device measures something your body is doing that you cannot normally perceive with any precision, and shows it back to you. Heart rate, breathing, muscle tension, skin temperature.
That feedback loop is the whole point. Once you can see a response, you can begin to influence it. This is why clinical forms of biofeedback are delivered as training over a course of sessions rather than as a one-off procedure — the equipment does not do anything to you, it shows you something about yourself so that you can learn from it.
Where NLS and bioresonance come in
Our own equipment belongs to a different branch. Bioresonance begins from the proposal that cells, tissues and organs give off faint electromagnetic activity at characteristic frequencies. NLS — non-linear systems, or non-linear analysis — refers to the way the software processes that input.
We should be straightforward about the status of this. It is the premise the technology is built on, not a demonstrated mechanism. Bioresonance sits outside mainstream medicine, and the readings a scan produces are not clinical measurements of anything. Anyone who tells you otherwise is overselling.
What the Oberon system includes
Described as features, without any claim about outcomes:
- Scan modes covering individual organs, tissues and structures, with the option to configure a scan rather than run a fixed sequence
- Five frequency programmes, described in the manual
- An option to prepare remedies
- A large reference library of analysis topics
- Session records, so you can see how readings differ between one session and another
- Manual review, so you can look at a single area in more detail rather than only reading a summary
- Reporting options
- Remote sessions
On session records specifically: they let you compare one session with another. They do not track the course of a condition, and a change in a reading is not evidence that anything in the body has changed. Please do not read them that way, and be cautious of anyone who encourages you to.
What a scan does not tell you
This is the part of this page that was wrong before, and it was wrong in the most consequential way possible, so we are replacing it rather than softening it.
- A scan does not detect disease, infection, parasites, allergens, heavy metals or nutritional deficiencies. It does not identify causes of anything.
- It does not see anything earlier than medical testing. The earlier version of this page claimed the opposite — that findings were later confirmed by tests months afterwards. That was not a defensible thing to publish. If a medical test says one thing and a scan suggests another, the test is the one to act on.
- It is not a medical device, it is not FDA-approved, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition.
- It is not a reason to delay an appointment or to change prescribed medication.
- Experiences differ from person to person, and we make no promises about results.
Training and support
Because the software is detailed, it needs to be learned properly rather than picked up. Every system includes one-on-one training with a personal manager, weekly group sessions, a training library, email support, free software updates and a three-year hardware warranty.
If you are comparing systems before buying, our guide to spotting an authentic Oberon sets out what to check. If you want to see what a session actually involves, how an Oberon scan works walks through it.
