Check out kaatsu.com. Invented by a Japanese athlete in the 80's it has similar effects. It has 2 arm bands and 2 leg bands and has a good deal of research to back its claims similar to the bp cuff.
That's correct. Kaatsu is different than remote ischemic conditioning (RIC). Remote ischemic conditioning does not require exercise and it requires a complete occlusion of the blood flow to the area.
Thanks for clarifying. 5 minutes seem like a long time for complete occlusion. Kaatsu doesn't necessarily require exercise either. It is sort of RIC lite?
25 years of research shows that it's a positive response on human health. I've been doing it for 30 days and the only side effect has been dropping 60 seconds off of my 1 mile swim time. First time I've seen a significant improvement in over two years.
I thought Kaatsu recommends always starting with the arms and then legs for workouts. That's the way I've done it for a couple of years now. Sorry for the Kaatsu comment, I know it's not the same as RIC.
Was any research done on less reps? If I incorporate everything I read into my daily life I will have no time for a life... :/) lol .... sun, grounding, walking, balance exercise, cardio, resistance, dental care, lymph massage.... no end in sight.
Yes, I wasn't able to get all my things done today because I added RIC today and administered it to my husband while he drank coffee and scrolled the internet. ;/
Well, hmmm, that's pretty interesting all right. I'm wondering though about the effect on the arteries from being crushed shut (200 mmHg) five time a day for five minutes each. Risk of damage?
I do kaatsu and very much à beginner. My feeling on this one is doesn’t feel right to have that much pressure on the arms for that long. Kaatsu has pressure on pressure off for 30 seconds I believe. Aside from any studies or research it comes back to who you believe and trust and follow one’s gut and intuition. This feels very not right to me. Too extreme. Kaatsu has a lot of information on the computer. Hate to see people hurting themselves in hopes of being healthier. Robert I don’t agree with you on this one

Excerpt: the part about "vaccines"
"Covid is a weak bioweapon manufactured by psychopaths. Its origins were proven by viral genetic sequencing and documentary evidence. The virus would have been inconsequential had the therapies not been suppressed. Insurance company data confirm that no effect on global mortality happened until the “vaccine” rollout.
The Covid “vaccine” is a mortally damaging bioweapon. You must repeat the academic year if you do not see this by now. Since its deployment in early 2021, worldwide mortality has increased and live births have each decreased by about 20 percent. Statistics like this have not been seen in a hundred years. But humans are resilient—despite all the other attacks on us, our overall death rate never increased until the “clot shot” was deployed.
Every other vaccine, including the ones for childhood, is a significant harm (see HERE and HERE). Over the last thirty years, these caused the US autism rate to increase from 1/10,000 to 1/30. Like the psych drugs, no vaccine has been studied against proper placebos. Public health measures such as sanitation produced the following drops in death rates, not vaccines. SNIP"
Typically every day. I don't think it would be a problem though to treat it just like you would exercise. Five days per week with an interval of an off day here there.
Adults over the age of 60 are recommended not to get the chikungunya vaccine to prevent the mosquito-borne illness due to two related deaths, according to the FDA and CDC.
Hi Dr. Yoho, just to clarify - the protocol is to do five sets per day: (5 min RIC, 5 min rest) X 5. So it would take a person 25 minutes. Do this every day, 7 days per week, or 5 days per week? Thanks.
If y’all have constipation “issues,” how about reading up on Baobab via Scott Marsland’s Substack article titled “Lightening Bug?!” Seems a lot more of a practical living hack to actually try that vs cutting off circulation to gain a performance edge. … Just sayin’
The idea of complete occlusion freaks me out for some reason :). I suspect Kaatsu, even without exercise would give similiar, if less intense benefits.
Is there any recommendation to slowly work up to this? Number and length sessions? Seems like just jumping into that much might not be good for weaker constitutions.

This is a different method. This is not remote ischemic conditioning. This is called blood flow with exercise. It is not the same.
Do you mean different from Kaatsu? You can use Kaatsu with exercise and for instance, use lower weights.

Five minutes is not bad. I thought it would be too, but I've been doing it for about 35 days and it's not hard at all.
Also, how long (with consistent use) until you notice any changes?
My fingers always go numb when my blood pressure is taken. Is there a way to avoid this - for the 5 min sessions (25 mins total)?
Just imagine what that does to your delicate lymphatic system.

Can RIC only be used on the arms? Some weight lifters do use complete occlusion. I
Arms or legs show same benefits.
Or no weights - it cycles on and off automatically, but it's way more expensive
I use kaatsu bands most days. I usually just use the leg bands, but I should probably use the arm bands too (more often)

The purpose of living is only to live! :)

If you do RIC you could drop half of the things you do or do half every other day. Alternate each half. (wink)
Omgosh! This all has my 77 yo brain going a bit off the rails!!
Lots of serious brain work fully acknowledged; however….‼️🤭
Again my age speaking , how about a walk in the woods with a friend?!!!❤️🙏
My kind of friend. ;-)
Well, hmmm, that's pretty interesting all right. I'm wondering though about the effect on the arteries from being crushed shut (200 mmHg) five time a day for five minutes each. Risk of damage?
In the last 35 years of research, this has not been shown to be a problem in human or animal studies.
Thank you.
Glad to help.
I would be more worried about the lymphatic system.
It is difficult for me to believe that the delicate and vital lymphatic system is not being damaged with this procedure.

I tend to agree with you here. At my GP, a blood pressure test used to make me feel unwell after only a few seconds!
Insist on the old fashioned way - not the machine. It hurts!
Do the RIC sessions have to be done for 50 straight minutes (5m on 5m off)? Or can it be spread over the day? Thanks.
Found this wonderful overview of Dr. Yoho's work about 3 days ago.
My many years of ignorance on these vital subjects have needed this IV STAT exercise in repair, revision and reconstruction of my thinking.
Blessings to all.

5 minutes on, 5 minutes off, for 5 reps adds up to 50 minutes per day.
How many days a week? Three days a week, or every other day, or seven days a week? Thanks!
Typically every day. I don't think it would be a problem though to treat it just like you would exercise. Five days per week with an interval of an off day here there.
Tried this today (59 female, healthy) went up to 200, couldn’t do it, 140 is my number. Husband 69 & healthy did it 5 times with no issues @ 200.
Not just seniors, every age.
The FDA warns seniors to avoid this vaccine after deadly complications.

with the rests 50 min
& super far off topic….

I do not mean any offense to anyone ‼️❤️🙏

limbs survive 10 hours of occlusion
That's crazy! Thank you. i didn't know that.
I believe Dr Joseph Mercola is a proponent of this also.
