All Draper Therapies products included in Draper Body Therapy, Draper Equine Therapy and Draper Canine Therapy use the technology of Celliant to provide therapeutic properties to the wearer.  Celliant is a therapeutic fiber which is embedded with millions of microscopic minerals and gemstones that act as reflective mirrors for energy emitted from the body. This energy is redirected back to the body to relax the capillaries and improve blood flow and increase oxygenation. The result is accelerated muscle recovery and help for stiffness and soreness while also balancing the body’s temperature and making it more efficient. As it affects the circulatory system, Celliant has lingering effects that continue after it has been removed from the body. It helps the user remain strong and active even when the product is not actively being used.

How does it work?

Celliant, the technology contained in all Draper Therapies products absorbs and stores the electromagnetic (energy) emissions from the human body and releases them where they are reabsorbed into the skin and deep muscle tissue. In the deep muscle tissue they act as catalysts for natural, biological processes resulting in enhanced oxygen levels and more balanced body temperature during sleep, rest or physical activity.

In this way, it helps the user remain strong and active even when the product is not actively being used. It is the world’s first responsive textile with clinically proven benefits to the human body.

What is  Celliant?

What is a responsive textile?

A responsive textile is a material that interacts with the body, using its energy to be more effective.

How do I care for my Draper Therapies products?

All Draper Therapies products can be washed in your home washing machine and be placed in your dryer. As Celliant is embedded in the products, washing or drying will not alter the therapeutic properties of the fiber. Cleaning additives such as bleach and stain remover can also be used without effecting the properties of Celliant.

Has it been clinically tested?

Yes. Celliant’s efficacy has been proven in five U.S.-based clinical studies that consistently show the material’s effects to be significant, compelling, and verifiable.

Celliant has been clinically proven to reduce pain, increase the oxygen levels in tissues and skin and balance body temperature while active or asleep.

You can view more information on the Clinical Studies here.

Is it possible to get too much light or too much oxygen?

No. Your body will only absorb as much energy as it can handle. Although it is possible for your body to have too much oxygen, the increases caused by Celliant are in no way putting the body in danger of these levels.

What is in Celliant that makes it produce therapeutic effects?

Celliant is specially formulated with proprietary ingredients that are blended with polyester fiber. This fiber, in turn, can be woven or knit into almost any materials including wools, cottons and other polyesters. While the exact formula is a patent protected trade secret, we can say that Celliant contains many minerals including Titanium Dioxide, Silicon Dioxide and Aluminum Oxide.

Are there any side effects from using products with Celliant?

As Celliant encourages the body’s natural processes, there are no known side effects. In fact, the only effects that have been found from the use of Celliant have been increased stamina, more rapid recovery, and better overall performance.

While it is possible to have an allergic reaction to any material, Celliant contains minerals that most people come into contact with on a regular basis. Since the first products became available in 2003, there have not been any reported cases of allergic reactions to Celliant.

How long do I need to use the products to get the positive effects?

Celliant starts to work immediately and the effects generally increase the longer they are used. All products are tested over at least a 90-minute period to ensure that they are effective.

How do you know it is working?

While you will not necessarily be able to perceive, or feel an increase in circulation, oxygenation or blood flow, in clinical testing we have measured the increase in skin oxygen levels (TCP02) and consistently recorded significant improvements across a wide spectrum of test subjects. People who try Celliant often observe localized pain relief and an overall improved sense of health.

Does it have to come in contact with the body or skin to work?

Products enhanced with Celliant do not have to be next to the skin in order to work, but work best when in direct contact. Covering the material with additional layers will not decrease their effectiveness, but may delay their effects. Celliant will work through any type of covering including multiple layers of sheeting or clothing, laminated or waterproof fabrics, or pillowcases.

How can Celliant make the light reflect back toward the body and not in all directions?

The light is reflected in all directions, but the light sent towards the body carries enough energy to increase blood flow and blood oxygen levels. The rest will scatter into space.

How was Celliant developed and why?

The research that led to the creation of Celliant began in the 1990s, when a team of pioneers in the field of alternative medicine visited Asia and observed the use of several natural substances that were thought to have a positive effect on health, healing and physical comfort. After seven years of development and several more of testing, the team was able to integrate these materials into Celliant, a technology that can be woven or added to other fibers and yarns to make fabrics.

Draper Therapies was created in 2003 and has continued to expand its offerings to meet the need of its canine, equine, and human customers.

What sets Celliant apart from other therapeutic products?

Celliant is the world’s most technologically advanced fiber and the only responsive textile with clinically proven benefits to the human body. Celliant’s oxygen studies were done independently by three separate doctors and all tests came to the same conclusion, that Celliant increases blood oxygen levels which has been shown to increase performance, relieve pain and improve muscle recovery.

How does it directly differ from static magnet or ceramic therapy?

Instead of simply warming or redirecting the magnetic fields of the muscles, Celliant works at the circulatory level, encouraging not only alleviation of pain and other negative symptoms but an actual improvement of the body’s natural systems. It works with your body to help it do what it does naturally.

Will Celliant products help treat or reduce pain caused by arthritis or diabetes?

While Celliant is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, it has been proven in clinical tests to reduce pain, increase blood flow and blood oxygen levels, and help balance body temperature. Each of these results can have added benefits including faster healing, increased performance, better-quality sleep, and improved overall wellness � all of which help alleviate the symptoms of arthritis and peripheral vascular disease often associated with diabetes.

Will my Celliant product still work through my pillowcase, sheets, extra layers of clothing, etc.?

Yes. Products enhanced with Celliant do not have to be next to the skin in order to work, and covering the material with additional layers will not decrease their effectiveness. Celliant works equally well through any type of covering including multiple layers of sheeting or clothing, laminated or waterproof fabrics, or synthetic pillowcases.

It is hard to admit.   But are precious little Sweetie is starting to get older.   Today with the damp cold our young lady was stiff and sore.   So we decided it was time to do a little work on her.   I have to say that she looks more than content sitting in the pulsating magnetic coil.   I guess from this day forward this will become part of her daily regime.   We might not be able to change the fact she is getting older but we sure can ease the burden for her.   We love you Sweetie.

Product of the Month | Pulltight Poultice

Liniments & Poultice can reduce pain or discomfort from normal daily exercise and activity, relieve soreness and stiffness in muscles and joints after a hard workout, or provide natural astringent properties.

Pull-Tight Poultice is Now Available in our Store. 

Benefits of Poultice during Show Season (Uckele Nutritional Article)

During show season, horses are worked harder, stalled and trailered more often. This can generate a greater amount of stress on the muscles and connective tissue. Jack Grogan, Certified Nutritionist and Chief Science Officer at Uckele Health & Nutrition, believes that it is vitally important that the strong, yet delicate muscles and connective tissue in the legs be protected and cared for day in and day out, especially during show season, “As a result of the increased work load, it is very common for muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue to be overworked or strained; not necessarily to the point of injury, but as a normal consequence of the extra training and performance.”

Grogan emphasizes that the muscles and connective tissues of the legs require rest and care to recuperate as completely as possible to perform at the highest level of the horse’s physical potential, “One of the first lines of defense to protect the muscles, tendons and ligaments from the stress of training and performing is a high quality poultice. This functions as a drawing substance, which soothes and comforts the tissues. A good poultice reduces tissue heat and swelling caused by the connective tissue stress that occurs from the substantially greater work load and increased demands of high intensity training and performance.”

Grogan, who has developed highly effective liniment and poultice formulas, recommends a clay-based formula to provide a temporary cooling benefit for inflamed tissues and natural astringent properties, which can support a faster recuperation. He points out that when it comes to injury, a good rule of thumb is cold for fresh trauma and as a preventive after heavy work, “In the early acute phases after injury, cold minimizes the aggressive stress response to the injury, and can reduce pain.” Grogan adds that by reducing the initial stress of the injury, the risk of further, more damaging injury from swelling and inflammation is minimized.

In addition, Grogan points out that there is also great benefit for all horses, not just performance horses, to support and soothe the legs, muscles and connective tissue. A high quality poultice can reduce pain or discomfort from normal daily exercise and activity, relieve soreness and stiffness in muscles and joints after a hard workout, and provide natural astringent properties.

“While ice is the preferred cold therapy, it’s not always a convenient option,” Grogan concludes, “Poultices are an excellent alternative option to cool things down and are frequently used as cold therapy on the lower legs (tendons, ligaments, joints) and hooves (traumatic injury, bruises, abscesses) to reduce swelling and aid healing.”

Jack Grogan has worked extensively in the fields of biology, biochemistry and nutrition, is an expert in tissue mineral balancing, and has demonstrated considerable success in balancing equine mineral chemistry to strengthen the basic metabolism and improve efficiency in horses. He is a consultant to numerous veterinarians, chiropractors, trainers, naturopaths and nutritionists

Fatty Acids Formulas

Natural, unrefined essential fatty acids are crucial for health and cannot be manufactured by the body. Research shows that Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and may support the metabolism in a number of ways, including blood sugar balance and stress recovery. This is an excellent supplement choice that supplies stable, balanced, long-term energy and supports hair and hoof health.

Why feed fat to horses?

·Calories from fat are 2.5 times greater than that of protein and carbohydrates.

Brandenburg Equine Therapy

Well on to the subject that I am supposed to be addressing.

This month our trusty friend drew out of a hat – The Hoof Pad.   You know that it is ironic that Chris drew out the hoof pad because Troy’s Tip of the Month with On The Rodeo Road was about the horse’s feet and how they are the foundation of the horse.   As Troy said, “No Feet No Horse”.

 Now I must admit that this might be Troy’s favorite piece of equipment.   Much like the blanket that all of you have seen troy use during your horse’s session, the hoof pad is Pulsed Magnet Field Therapy Equipment.   Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy is a safe, painless and drug-free treatment method.   Technically, Pulsed magnetic fields help increase cellular metabolism by positively influencing ion exchange within cells.   Now let me simplify that for you.   Pulsating Magnetic Field Therapy speeds the healing process.   It stimulates tissue, increases blood flow, and reduces swelling.   There are a quite a few of you that have had your horse stand on our hoof pad.   But as a hole, the usefulness and need for this piece of equipment in our work is quite understated.

Paint at Rescue in Texas >< Now Doesn't he look quite Content?

This little gem really addresses issues that our ponies have with their feet .  The magnetic field penetrates from 12 to 15 inches, not only treating the hooves, but also treating to just below the knee or hock. The Hoof Pad is perfect for treating the hoof, one of the hardest areas of a horse to treat.   Other indications the Hoof Pad may work on include: abscess, concussion problems, bruised feet, swelling, navicular, fractures, laminitis as well as many others.The hoof pad is meant to be used in conjunction with Either the 4PH or the 9PH. This  hoof pad is available for sale or rental.     

Airlee Beach, Australia

So to catch one up with what Troy & I have been up to.   As most of you know, Troy and I went home to Australia for the holidays.   What an amazing Experience.   This was my first trip to Australia & I finally got to meet all of my family.    Troy had not been home for 6 years.   It was a really a deserved Holiday after 11 months with out even a break.

We made a tour of Queensland while visiting family and friends.   And yes, I got to see Kangaroos, Koala’s, Kookaburra’s, Lorakeets, The Great Barrier Reef, and the list goes on.    The country is gorgeous.

You really can not put it into words.

But before we left for our holiday, we first flew into Las Vegas for a couple of days so we could stop by the NFR.   And we had our booth at cowboy Christmas again this year with Centurion.     Wow!  The NFR was just spectacular this year.   I really think that the barrel racing hit another level.   We saw girl after girl running right at the edge of the arena record until it was finally beaten.   Congratulations on setting the new arena record Sheri Cervi.   And no,  I did not get to see that run in person.   Sheri set the new arena record while Troy and I were in LA waiting for our flight to Brisbane, Australia.

Troy & the Street Entertainment

And of course, no Vegas Trip is complete with out a tour of the Strip.   Troy and I met up with a couple of friends and walked the strip making a tour of the many sites and venues.   What a fun night that went long into the AM.   Boy our feet were tired and I was happy to see my bed that evening.   Only in Vegas Baby!  And I think I will leave that story there.

Well…. the new year brought the death of our van.   Did you hear the tears in that statement.    But even though it was sad to see it go – NOT, we are so very excited about our new Volkswagen Routan.   We love it!   And I am sure that most of you have already seen it because in 8 weeks we have put right at 14,000 miles on it.    No! That is not a typo.   We have honestly put that unbelievable amount of miles on the car.   So needless to say, we have been very busy trying to see all of you and to get you ready for the 2011 season.

This year we have been doing Troy’s tip of the month for the Ezine – On the Rodeo Road.  That has really been fun and I hope that all of you have been finding it informative.

We are adding several new products to our website.  You will just have to check out the website to see!   I don’t want to spoil all of the surprises.

Our website is approaching 2 years!   Yeah!    But we want to stay fresh and enticing so we will be doing a redesign.   A lot of the same material but we want to make sure you can find what you are looking for – move things about and implement a cleaner interface.    We want to make it more user friendly.   For the last several months we have been doing a Product of the month just so you stay informed of what we have for you.   Along with this…. I am going to start blogging about that product of the month.   I want to continue with our goal of educating the customer.   I am sure that we have products that you have not even thought of or if you have seen them you don’t  really know how to use them, would just like more information about, or you just get confused with all the choices we now have.   So, I am going to try to simplify this for you one product at a time.

I guess that gets us a little caught up in a few words.   I am sure I could continue on but I would just bore you.   Thank-you for everything that all of you do for us.

Tiffany & Troy
