DEMO-DEMONSTRATIONS

DEMO - AQUA-CHI HYDROTHERAPY. An alternative to full submersion hydrotherapy is a footbath treatment that uses an electric field to promote detoxification. The soles of feet have thousands of pores. A hot water bath opens these pores, and an electric field activates movement across them, so that our feet can release detritus instead of storing it. Discussion will include a presentation - if there is a volunteer.
Fri 8p-9p, Raven room. Chris Paige

DEMO - ARTILLERY THROUGHOUT THE AGES. How siege engines changed with the passing of time. Discussion and demo of siege warfare through the ages. Panel host is Brian Lapham who was chosen to work with CBS on 'The Great Race' to build the Trebuchets for their production, and Darren Reale, an Active Combat Warfare SeaBee to discuss the modern siege weapons.
