Bio-TouchTM (BMTH) is a simple, hands-on healing technique that can be used to address all types of health concerns. Practitioners use the first two fingers of both hands to lightly touch specific points on the body. Over time the combination of correct points and light touch seems to enhance the body’s natural healing ability.

What do people say about Bio-Touch? General:
"Bio-Touch is the evolution of touch… It is resurrecting the reputation of touch in our society."
"I feel comfortable suggesting BMTH to people because it’s non-invasive. It doesn’t invade your body, it doesn’t invade your psyche, and it doesn’t interfere with your belief system in any way."
"I have complained of every ailment in the book. BMTH has really helped in every area.
"For years a constant backache resulting from a pelvic tilt bothered me. I am happy to tell that after just a few BMTH sessions this condition has disappeared. It is wonderful to live without back pain for a change." Children:
"When my daughter starts to get a cold I just do Bio-Touch and it doesn’t develop into a full-blown cold."
"I have ADD and have taken a sucky medicine -----. BMTH is cool. It makes me feel better."
"Bio-TouchTM has been very helpful with my four-month-old son. When my son was an infant he had lots of tummy problems - gas, constipation, and fussiness. BMTH has put an end to those problems. I am very grateful for Bio-Magnetic Touch HealingTM. I believe it works and have learned how to do it on my son myself. Thank you."
"It’s fun!! You always get better when it’s done. You always have a smile when you’re done. It’s relaxing! I tell you it’s fun!!!" Doctors:
"It is so easy to learn and teach… I think it is a powerful tool that one can offer to patients and their families to empower them to help take care of themselves." Substance Abuse Recovery:
"Bio-TouchTM is beneficial to the centeredness of recipients. It helps mellow them. BMTH has tremendous effects in people’s process to remain drug-free." International:
"BMTH, unlike other touch therapy, has a big promise of bringing unity to the basic unit of our [Filipino] society, i.e. the family. It offers a physical means to make the law of Giving and Receiving a reality. We need to propagate BMTH now in our country more than anytime in our history. Let me join in your dream of making this world a better place to live in.... if only by TOUCHING people’s lives through a technology that knows no boundaries in terms of color of skin, economic power, religion or belief system." Classes:
"I have been extremely pleased with the class. I found the staff, materials and information to be very appropriate to all phases of training — the students were all interested (and interesting!). It’s rare to find something to learn that is informative, useful to humanity, fun and very interesting — all at the same time!"
"I’m so glad I took this course. I learned how to help people in an easy way with an incredible result and know that I can “just touch” everywhere around the world."
We say "Just Touch" as a reminder that healing is simple. We say "Just Touch" to remind us that anyone can practice Bio-TouchTM and notice results. We say “Just Touch” as a way to practice the Golden Rule of "Love the Neighbor." We say "Just Touch" to remind us that we do not diagnose problems, recommend ways to live or believe, nor do we give a prognosis for the future. We don't have to imagine a particular result, enter into a special state of mind, analyze our "intent," or even know the origin of the technique. All that is necessary for healing is communicated in the simple act of touching. So… "Just Touch"!
"What a great feeling to have someone touch you who doesn’t want anything from you. Thank you for ‘just caring’".
Research conducted in collaboration with Gary Schwartz, PhD., and Director of the Human Energy Systems Laboratory at the University of Arizona has proven Bio-TouchTM (BMTH) to be effective in dramatically reducing stress, pain and blood pressure. Current projects include monitoring the effects of Bio-Touch on the brain and heart using EEG and EKG, as well as studying the effects of Bio-Touch on children with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. Research is also being conducted at Amity Circle Tree Ranch to discover if Bio-Touch may be beneficial to substance abuse treatment and recovery and improve family dynamics between children and parents in substance abuse treatment.
"I have analyzed the data and the data are beautiful! The average person does experience improvements in feeling the goodness and the reduction of stress. Pain symptomotology is all across the board generally decreased. These results replicate for males and females, they replicate across multiple therapists, they replicate across multiple sessions, and they also replicate across multiple locations."
What do doctors & nurses say about BMTH? Nurses can receive Continuing Education Credits for completing IFBM educational programs nationwide! Here are some of the comments made by a medical doctor and nurses familiar with Bio-TouchTM.
"I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to a fascinating form of alternative medicine called Bio-TouchTM.
"During this time, when hospital stays are getting shorter and alternatives to hospitalization need to be considered, I believe BMTH offers valuable tools to nurses and patients' families. I have become certified by the Foundation and now volunteer at the Center where we offer individual sessions in BMTH. I have found my experience in the Center greatly rewarding, and I have had the opportunity to work on my own as a BMTH practitioner. I encourage all nurses to attend this class and learn more about the healing potential of BMTH." "I have been working in the psychiatric-mental health field as a nurse therapist for over 20 years in a variety of settings. I have seen thousands of mentally ill persons receive treatment for symptoms and never experience healing. Although I agree that many psychiatric disorders are neurological brain diseases for which certain medications reduce symptoms, I believe BMTH is a valuable technique which mental health professionals need to be educated about to promote actual healing of their clients." Judy Waldman RN, MSN; Honolulu, HI
How does BMTH relate to standard and alternative healthcare practices? Bio-Touch is a complementary technique. Because Bio-Touch is literally "just touch," it works well in conjunction with any other healthcare practice. We have worked with many people participating in standard medical procedures, such as medication, surgery, chemotherapy, physical therapy, etc., as well as alternative therapies such as chiropractic, massage, herbs, energy work, spiritual healing, etc. The only tools required to practice BMTH anywhere are the fingers. There are no props, no magnets, no levels of ability, no initiations, and no religious or philosophical premises to adopt in order to be effective. Whether you learn online, from the Manual & Video Set or in a class, a first-time practitioner will be just as effective as one who has been doing BMTH for years. BMTH is so simple that it can be used at home, in the office, or in the hospital, providing family members and friends the opportunity to help when they may otherwise feel helpless. And the investment of time and money is minimal, which makes BMTH perfect for those who want to start helping others in a healing process right now! IFBM is committed to encouraging a person’s growth in self-awareness, therefore we do not diagnose people’s physical, mental, emotional or spiritual conditions nor do we recommend that people pursue or refuse any therapy they feel will benefit their healing process.
"After all the complications with my surgery I thank God for the combination of methodologies. Modern medical technology and Bio-Magnetic Touch HealingTM put me on the road to recovery."
"BMTH, unlike other touch therapy, has a big promise of bringing unity to the basic unit of our [Filipino] society, i.e. the family. It offers a physical means to make the law of Giving and Receiving a reality. We need to propagate BMTH now in our country more than anytime in our history. I’m now 56 years old and want to obey God’s commandment to minister to those in need. Let me join in your dream of making this world a better place to live in.... if only by TOUCHING people’s lives through a technology that knows no boundaries in terms of color of skin, economic power, religion or belief system."
The touch healing technique now called Bio-Magnetic Touch HealingTM, also known as Bio-Touch, was first developed in the early 1970’s by a mining engineer Named Norman Cochran. A friend of his was facing a medical emergency and Norman offered to help by touching. That day the points he touched came to him spontaneously, as they would over the next few years, until the seventeen simple sets of points that now comprise the BMTH system were developed. Since then, no points have been added and no explanations for their origin or effectiveness have been adopted. In the beginning, Norman believed that he was the only one who could be effective with the points. But eventually, so many people came to him that he had to show someone else and that person was just as effective as Norman was. In that moment, Bio-Touch became a gift for all of humanity. Over they years Norman and his wife Carole continued to offer the touch out of their home in Mancos, Colorado, refusing payment, and teaching anyone interested in learning. Still, Norman was not able to teach very many people. All that changed when Paul Bucky met Norman in the late 1980’s. Paul first found Norman to get help for back pain. When he first met Norman, he was struck was the complete lack of pretense surrounding this simple healing technique. Norman and Carole smoked cigarettes and drank coffee from morning to night, ate no special diet, and were comparatively conservative in their personal philosophies. They were simple people who wanted to help people. Paul became committed to getting the technique out to as many people as possible. Together they named the technique and created the first educational foundation. Since then, the International Foundation of Bio-Magnetics, led by Paul Bucky and an all-volunteer staff, have operated Centers in Honolulu, Hawaii and Tucson, Arizona and support a growing network of independent practitioners worldwide. All BMTH sessions offered at IFBM Centers are free of charge and supported by tax-deductible donations, membership dues, class fees, and sales of BMTH Manual & Video Sets. Classes are offered at Centers and out of town at minimal cost with scholarships available. BMTH continues to be shared with people from all walks of life as an application of the universal principal of “Love the Neighbor” and an expression of the basic equality of all humanity.
