WELLINGTON EQUESTRIAN // FEBRUARY-MARCH
an interview with
RICHARD PARKER
The inventor of Cytowave isn’t resting on his laurels. He’s already hard at
work on his next high-tech invention.
Richard Parker, t h e i n ve n t o r o f
Cytowave, is thrilled with the
results his tissue derived healing
technolgy has enjoyed. It
seemed only logical to him that
if you want to heal a specific tissue type,
you’d have to communicate with that tissue
using the same set of wave forms that the
tissue generates.
The key he said is the ability of the
body to identify and recognize the incoming
signal as one of its own. By readily accepting
this “healing” signal, the body is kickstarting
the healing process.
“Many people in the equine industry
tend to think of us as some sort of Voodoo
in a box. I don’t blame them since they’re
bombarded every month with products that
claim to be a panacea,” Richard said.
Many horse owners, trainers and competitors
are understandably quite skeptical.
While the exact mechanisms of what
34
type of changes Cytowave is having on tissue
is unknown, it’s obvious that it is working.
“I’ve had numerous queries on what
we’re doing, but honestly, we don’t fully
understand it,” Richard said. “We can guess
the obvious from the success we have, improving
circulation, taking away inflammation
and detritus from injuries sites, all the
usual culprits.”
“Veterinarians who rely on data, which
is most of them, can get frustrated by our
lack of controlled studies,” Richard said.
When Richard points out that there is no
documentation on how many of the modalities
actually work, it generally helps
them understand that healing, in general, is
poorly understood. “Scientists can’t completely
explain healing...and when you understand
and accept that, it’s easier to open
your mind.”
Richard has spent a great deal of his
life involved in research and it’s going
to take a great deal of money, hard
work and investigation to really define
not only what changes are taking place
in tissue, but how.
CytoWave technology takes the
actual electromagnetic signal given
off by the body at an injury site, stores
and then amplifies that signal before
re-admitting to the subject so as to
accelerate the healing process. This
“jump-start” occurs because the signal
applied to the injury is very similar to
the same signal the horse produces.
That signal, therefore, is readily accepted
and processed in such a manner
as to accelerate the recovery. “Because
we use tissue-specific signals,
we’re able to achieve results unlike any
other technology out there.”
