In 1979, the use of pulsed electromagnetic
fields (PEMF) was approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) as
a bone growth stimulator. The Germans then capitalized on this
success and continued medical research for other pathologies, and while
it is approved throughout Europe, it is yet to be accepted in the
U.S.A. for other indications.
One of the leading German manufacturers of PEMF medical devices, however, created a precision machine and sought medical researchers in Harvard, Yale and Vanderbilt universities, as well as others in Europe, to research the protocols to be used for each of the dozens of indications in which PEMF may be used.

Costa
Rica lies in the middle of Central America
and is indeed, a unique natural wonder. It's a small country similar
in size to the Netherlands, In fact, with its tropical forests,
volcanoes
and pleasant beaches full of palm trees, it's a big open air zoo. Any

insects.
Costa Rica has more species of animals and plants than any other
country

relaxation,

Martino,
the founder of the resort now operated by his family, arrived at La
Garita de

Martinio is
located on a 21 acre estate in the lush central valley of Costa rica.

its
classic beauty. Resort Martino draws its inspiration from the European
chain
"Relais et Chateaux". Accommodations consist of only 34 suites and 4
deluxe
suites, because we believe that only a small resort can offer perfect
service.

Cleopatra Spa & Fitness Gym
"Salus
per Aquam", magical Latin words meaning
"Health through Water". For the Greeks and Romans physical beauty and
mental
health have always been crucial. "Mens sauna in corpore sano",
signifying that a
healthy mind and spirit can only exist in a healthy body. Resort

Restaurant Le Gourmet Rated 5 forks "We are what we eat!"
As far as cuisine is
concerned, in order to go forward, we went back to
the past
as the renaissance did and for this reason we have our own organic
gardens. The
fruits, vegetables and herbs grown in this oasis are picked fresh,
daily to create
quality organic meals. We bake our own breads, we make our own pasta,
our own
marmalades and we import from Italy only the best products. Alfonso
Martino, the
re-founder of the long hotel tradition. spent most of his life
searching for the
real southern-central Italian cuisine, especially the Naples cuisine,
which was
deeply influenced by Greek, French, Spanish and Arabian cuisine.
