Q: Will RESPeRATE lower my blood pressure too much?

Q: How does RESPeRATE lower blood pressure?
A: RESPeRATE is based on scientific evidence that shows that breathing exercises, when performed routinely, can lower blood pressure. These exercises are difficult to perform without continuous, individualized coaching. RESPeRATE provides this coaching, with personalized sound patterns, composed in real time, customized to guide your own breathing patterns.

Q: How much time is required to achieve results with RESPeRATE?
A: We recommend using the RESPeRATE for 15 minutes, at least three-four times per week. Typically, within 30 days of use, a sustained reduction in blood pressure can be achieved. Like other physical exercises, regular use is required to maintain the benefits.
Q: What happens if I stop using RESPeRATE?
A: As with other physical exercises, the benefits will not be maintained if you do not continue with routine use.
Q: Will it take a long time to learn to use RESPeRATE?
A: Most people who've used it find RESPeRATE both easy and pleasant to use. typically takes one or two sessions to get used to the operation and breathing "exercises" – after that you will be able to easily operate RESPeRATE and perform the exercises effortlessly.
Q: Is RESPeRATE covered by insurance?
A: Currently, RESPeRATE is not covered by Medicare or major health plans, although some insurance plans have covered RESPeRATE on a case-by-case basis.
Q: Who invented RESPeRATE?
A: Dr. Benjamin Gavish, InterCure's Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, patented and developed a fundamental method of affecting biological rhythms and respiration with external rhythms such as melody, which led to the development of RESPeRATE, the company's first product.
Q: Is there any latex in RESPeRATE?
A: Yes. Do not use this device if you are allergic to Natural Rubber Latex (NRL) as this product contains NRL.
Q: Does RESPeRATE transmit radiation?
A: Every electronic device (including digital cameras, calculators and alarm clocks) transmits some radiation. However, RESPeRATE transmits only a very low amount of radiation and complies with all relevant standards governing this type of product.
Q: What is the pitch of the tones at the maximum volume?
A: The pitch for the tones at maximum volume is 94 decibels (dBs). This is far less than that experienced at a sporting event (127 dB), an iPod or other MP3 player at maximum volume (120 dB), or a movie theater (118 dB)*. In general, it is not advised to use a device with headphones at maximum volume for more than two hours a day.
