Biontology® assessment is a way to communicate with the body. It shows where light signalling is disrupted and how a session can best support it. Its sole purpose is to guide the session, not to provide a health screening or diagnosis.

The assessment outcome reflects whether biophoton emissions at specific points are sufficiently coherent or not. This guides the practitioner in deciding where and how to focus the session. It does not, by itself, indicate the presence or absence of disease.

Within the Biontology® framework, the findings at different points on hands and feet are interpreted in relation to specific parts and functions of the body. This allows the practitioner to address areas where light communication can be supported most effectively.

Reassessment is done because an immediate shift is expected — since the session directly improves biophoton signalling, the reassessment shows whether that change actually took place. This step cannot be skipped — only by verifying the shift can your practitioner confirm that the program worked in correcting the light signalling. 

Improved biophoton coherence is the basis for the desired results, but it is not guaranteed every time. Certain circumstances may limit the effectiveness of the correction, and reassessment is the only way to identify this.

No. Biontology® assessment cannot provide a medical diagnosis. It reflects patterns in light communication only. These patterns may look similar in people with very different conditions, so they cannot be interpreted as medical findings. Their value lies only in guiding the practitioner’s focus during sessions.

No. Biontology® assessment only reflects imbalances in the body’s biophoton signalling function, which has no role in medical diagnosis. 

This information is specific to Biontology® sessions. The outcome changes immediately once a session is applied, as the session works by influencing light coherence — something directly visible in the post-session assessment.

No. An assessment only reflects what is happening in that moment. Biophoton coherence naturally fluctuates as the body responds to daily stressors, so some imbalances will always show — even when you are healthy. 

True health problems arise only when chaotic signalling becomes chronic and the body no longer succeeds in correcting it — either because its own capacity is limited, or because persistent stressors prevent recovery.

No. Health does not appear as a blank or flawless result. Every body shows shifting imbalances, because light signalling is always adapting to what life brings. An assessment simply shows “yes” or “no” to imbalance at that moment — it cannot reveal whether the issue is temporary or long-standing, nor can it diagnose health or disease.

A healthy result still includes imbalances. The difference is that in a well-functioning body they are changeable, short-lived, and part of normal adaptation, not fixed patterns. 

Assessment provides the practitioner with information to optimise the body’s light communication during the current session. Even if you are already well, this support can feel like a tailwind while cycling: you would reach your destination anyway, but the journey becomes lighter and easier.

This can mean two things, depending on your situation. Sometimes the improved coherence was disrupted again before the body could fully make use of it. Other times, especially in chronic situations, it is simply part of the normal repair process. 

A session improves signalling and opens a window for repair. When a long-standing imbalance is involved, the body may disturb the light again as it continues its work. The same disturbance can therefore reappear — not because nothing changed, but because the repair is not yet complete and often requires several opportunities.

Feeling better means your body has already made use of the improved light situation to move repairs forward, even if the assessment still shows work in progress. Signalling shifts immediately in a session, but if the underlying issue is only partly resolved in the following days, the disturbance will return until the body completes more of the repair. The assessment reflects this ongoing process: change is happening, just not all at once.

Your guide is how you feel and function in daily life — your energy, sleep, resilience, and comfort. Assessments are there to help the practitioner decide where to work each time; your lived experience is the clearest indicator of progress.

No. Biontology® works only with the body’s own light. By correcting disturbances in biophoton signalling, the practitioner helps your system’s instructions become stronger and more coherent — but this is not the same as healing. 

Any repair or recovery that may follow comes solely from your body’s self-healing capacities — a process best supported by rest, hydration, healthy rhythms, and reduced stress. This makes Biontology® a shared responsibility: the practitioner works on the light, while your everyday choices help your body act on it optimally.

It is common to experience a sense of wellbeing, lightness, or relief in stark contrast to how you felt before the session. 

The shift can feel profound — sometimes even magical — and may carry a strong emotional impact. This effect, however, comes from your own body, not from a special power of the practitioner. What you are feeling is your body and mind responding to the optimisation of its natural light signalling. 

Biontology®, as developed by Dr. Johan C. Boswinkel, was created to free people from dependencies, not create new ones.

Yes. If you are inspired to study Biontology® after your own experience, you can apply to enter the professional field. Admission is selective and limited each year to maintain quality and ensure proper guidance for every student. 

You can read more about the process — including entry requirements, waiting lists, and training — in the section “Entering the Field”.

Assessment in Biontology® is a refined skill that requires accuracy and sensitivity. A skilled practitioner can interpret the body’s feedback correctly, focus the session where it is most needed, and evaluate whether the light responded as intended. 

Without these abilities, there is a risk of relying on personal assumptions rather than the body’s real signals. Quality ensures that sessions are guided by your body itself, making the work reliable, responsible, and truly supportive. 

The True respect belongs to the remarkable capacities of your own body and mind.

No. Practitioners cannot declare you healthy. Biontology® assessment is a moment-intime tool that only checks for disturbances in light signalling during your appointment. Even when nothing is detected, this does not necessarily mean you are healthy. Stress, temporary strain, or the short-term effect of your previous session can mask deeper disturbances and make results appear more balanced than they truly are. What matters most is your own experience—whether symptoms resolve and daily functioning improves—and any medical confirmation belongs to medical diagnostics. Skilled practitioners consider symptoms alongside patterns over several sessions, not a single reading.

No. Practitioners cannot diagnose illness with their biophoton instrument. 

Biophoton emissions are never in a perfect, coherent, or static state, so every person — even in good health — will show some degree of imbalance. Biontology® assessment does not reveal cause or severity and cannot distinguish normal variation from illness. Temporary day-to-day challenges may create results that look identical to those of a more serious condition. 

For this reason, assessment results can never confirm the presence or absence of disease. They serve only to guide the practitioner in identifying where light communication can be supported. Any practitioner who interprets them as diagnostic findings is misunderstanding the method.

No. Genuine Biontology® sessions stand entirely on their own and do not require any additional devices, products or supplements. 

Practitioners who follow the original method focus solely on improving light communication through their original biophoton instrument. 

If someone promotes or sells extra products as part of Biontology®, they are mixing other approaches — something that is not part of the official modality.

In 2012, it became clear that some practitioners were misunderstanding or neglecting key aspects of the original work — especially the assessment, which requires refined skills to be consistent and reliable. In some cases, the assessment procedure was skipped altogether; in others, outcomes were misrepresented as confirming health or disease, which is not possible. 

Certification was therefore introduced as a way for practitioners to demonstrate that they apply Biontology® accurately and responsibly. It allows those who meet the required standards to receive official recognition and, if desired, contribute further to the field — for example, by giving demonstrations or supporting future training.

Certification is optional. Many practitioners find they can build a successful practice with a license alone and choose not to take the extra step of seeking official endorsement. 

While this makes it harder for us to provide referrals or to recognise where additional support might be valuable, we respect that choice. Each practitioner remains responsible for their own practice. For clients, this means that any concerns about sessions with a non-certified practitioner reflect on the individual, not on Biontology® itself.

To ensure quality and protect clients, referrals are only made to practitioners whose skills and understanding have been directly observed and confirmed through case studies.

This gives you the reassurance that anyone we refer to applies Biontology® exactly as intended — in line with the original framework and with the necessary level of skill and care.

While many licensed practitioners work well, certification simply provides the verified proof we need before we can publicly recommend someone as a representative for the modality.

Training today is stronger and more comprehensive than it was before licensing was introduced, but the principle is unchanged: practitioners can only be listed once their work has been personally observed. 

This is not a matter of mistrust — public referral simply requires confirmation, not assumption. Listing practitioners means standing behind their work as representatives of Biontology®, which can only be done once their practice has been personally verified.

Only a few certified practitioners are not listed, and those individuals serve the Biontology® field through official training or demonstrations rather than client practice. 

If a practitioner does not appear on the o8icial Biontology® website, they are not certified — even if they claim to be. Unfortunately, some have misrepresented their status, which is exactly why the official list exists: to provide clients with a clear and reliable point of reference. 

At the same time, most practitioners simply choose not to pursue certification, as it is not required for maintaining a successful practice. Those who deliver genuine results build their reputation naturally through client experience and word-of-mouth — they have no reason to claim credentials they do not hold.

No. Many practitioners are licensed but not certified. This does not mean their practice is poor — it simply means we have no way of verifying how they apply Biontology®. 

However, choosing a certified practitioner gives you greater assurance as a client. Certified practitioners have demonstrated both practical skill and a coherent understanding of the original framework, ensuring that sessions, explanations, and guidance are fully aligned with Biontology® as it was developed.

Many practitioners attended demonstrations or short courses with Dr. Johan C. Boswinkel, but no one received private mentorships or full, coherent training from him. His complete teaching was only captured and structured later, with the development of the current comprehensive training. 

For this reason, claims of “personal training” or “exclusive transmission” are misleading. What truly matters is a practitioner’s present understanding and consistency in applying the original method — not their claimed closeness to the inventor in the past. 

A good Biontology® professional keeps the focus on you and your body’s process — not on their résumé, claims of special insight, or past associations to Dr. Boswinkel. They communicate clearly, answer questions honestly, and respect your feedback.

A good practitioner applies Biontology® exactly as developed by Dr. J.C. Boswinkel — with precision, clarity, and respect for the method. Signs of correct practice include: 

• Use of a single biophoton instrument (their Chiren® 3.0 or an older model).
• Assessment of points on both hands and feet before and after each applied program using the instrument’s accessories.
• Presence throughout the session, with active listening and adjustment based on your responses.
• One hand program (± 10 min) and one footplate program (± 16 min) each appointment; a shorter protocol only for young children.
• Attention to scars or localised issues when relevant — applying local programs where needed.
• Clear explanations — never vague, mystical, or speculative claims.
• No sale or promotion of additional treatments or products as part of Biontology®.
• No claims of being a “specialist” in specific diseases — Biontology® is a holistic approach that does not have special protocols targeted at disease.
• Professional and respectful conduct toward clients and colleagues, keeping the focus on your process rather than their status. 

A true professional helps you understand your sessions and respects your experience as the most important feedback in the process.

Licensed practitioners are required to present Biontology® accurately and uphold the professional standards set by Dr. Boswinkel’s legacy foundation, Stichting MIBA. If you believe a practitioner is misrepresenting the modality or acting outside these standards, you can contact Health Angel Services. 

We take such concerns seriously and may reach out to the practitioner to clarify or address the issue. While we cannot intervene with unlicensed individuals, your feedback helps protect the integrity of the modality and may ensure that future clients receive accurate information and professional care.

A Biontology® practitioner may note relevant details from your first interview and later conversations about your responses and progress. Most importantly, they record their assessment findings — how effectively biophoton signalling functions at specific points on the hands and feet that correspond to different areas of the body — along with the session programs that were used.

Practitioners keep records to spot patterns over time. By comparing assessment outcomes with your responses, they can see which biophysical functions are strengthening, which areas may need more attention, and whether recurring stressors are involved. These records exist solely to guide Biontology® sessions and are never used for diagnosis.

Yes. When practitioners use the official app, session data is stored securely in line with GDPR standards. 

However, each practitioner is the data controller for their own client records and is personally responsible for full GDPR compliance, including access control, deletion requests, and lawful data handling. 

The app simply provides a secure tool — it does not assume legal responsibility on behalf of the practitioner.

Yes. You may request deletion of your session data at any time. Your practitioner must ensure this is processed in accordance with GDPR.

Records are designed as practitioner tools, not client reports. Their terminology (for example, names of impulses or body points) can easily be misinterpreted outside the context of Biontology®. 

If you wish, you can request a copy in line with GDPR, but it is important to understand that these notes have relevance only for guiding sessions — not for evaluating health or disease.

Registration brings each instrument into the professional framework of Biontology®. It ensures traceability, fair access to service, and supports the collective system that keeps repairs, spare parts, and professional guidance available.

Yes. All biophoton instruments require registration with Health Angel Services to be recognised and eligible for repairs or spare parts.

New Chirens®3.0 are registered automatically; older or second-hand biophoton instruments must be registered by the owner before any services can be provided.

If you are the first owner of a biophoton instrument purchased through one of Dr. Boswinkel’s companies before 2016, yearly contribution is optional.

However, by choosing to contribute, you can become part of the official professional organisation for Biontology® practitioners with access to the full range of services and benefits.

If you register only and do not contribute, you remain under a limited grace arrangement: your original instrument can still be repaired and spare parts supplied, but other services are not available.

From 2016 onward, all instruments have been sold under License Agreements that include yearly professional participation. This contribution to Health Angel Services must be paid every year.

If payments are missed, they accumulate as outstanding fees, and a surcharge applies when settled. Until contributions are fully up to date, support and spare parts cannot be provided.

If a Chiren® 3.0 was sold or offered to you without the official transfer and registration under your name, the seller is in breach of their License Agreement. Until the matter is remedied, the instrument cannot be supported, supplied with parts, or recognised within the Biontology® framework.

To resolve this, you must complete the full entry pathway: orientation, signing the License Agreement, training, and yearly participation linked to the device. If unpaid fees are attached to the instrument, we recommend contacting the seller first; otherwise, you will be responsible for settling them before registration and support can begin.

No. Products and services are supplied only to registered owners for their own biophoton instruments.

This ensures fairness and transparent service records for each device. It also prevents the use of self-appointed intermediaries who inflate prices or cause delays, so every practitioner has direct and equal access to parts, repairs, and support at fair prices.

The Chiren®3.0, equipped with modern components and a built-in Li-Ion smart battery, is much more robust than the older models. It is designed for stability, reliability, and long-term usability, addressing the vulnerabilities of the older generation.

Routine servicing is not needed, but correct handling will extend its life. To keep the battery healthy, avoid full discharges, recharge regularly even if not in daily use, and do not leave it plugged in constantly for longer periods without cycling the charge. Store at moderate room temperature.

Routine servicing is not needed, but careful handling is essential.

Developed in 2005, these models are now 20 years old and more vulnerable than the current generation. They are especially sensitive to unstable electricity.

Always use the original adapter, and if you live in an area with irregular power supply, use a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). Most irreparable failures have been caused by non-original adapters or power fluctuations.

We continue to support all of Dr. Boswinkel’s biophoton instruments wherever possible. However, the 1.0/2.0 models were built on 2005-era hardware, and some of their computer components are now obsolete.

If one of these parts fails — such as the CPU, the backlight inverter for the display, or the filter board — repair may no longer be possible, and the instrument could be considered a total loss.

In such cases, the only option is to transition to the current Chiren®3.0.

Most 1.0/2.0 instruments (2005 design) that eventually fail have been true workhorses, supporting full practices for many years. When a component that is no longer produced reaches the end of its lifespan, repair is no longer possible, and replacement becomes essential —your instrument is the core tool of your profession.

The Chiren® 3.0 was created with this reality in mind. It not only secures continuity for established practices but also resolves the weaknesses of earlier designs. With modern computer components and a smart battery for portability, it is leaner, faster, and more versatile — preserving the essence of Dr. Johan C. Boswinkel’s work while giving practitioners a tool that is reliable, efficient, and easier to use.

Whether you choose to upgrade before issues arise or wait until your older instrument reaches the end of its lifespan, the Chiren®3.0 offers a future-proof way forward. Find out more.

Make sure your instrument is registered with Health Angel Services. Only registered instruments are eligible for service.

• If it is already registered, you can submit a repair request, and we will guide you step by step.

• If it is not registered, see the next question.

Use the online registration form to send us your full contact details together with the device model and serial number.

• For Chiren®3.0 and all instruments sold after 2016, registration includes automatic enrolment into the professional field (yearly fee applies).

• For first owners of instruments purchased before 2016, enrolment is optional. You may choose to participate in the professional field or opt out and receive limited support (repairs and parts only).

All repairs must always be coordinated through Health Angel Services and carried out by the original manufacturer. Opening an instrument or attempting repairs yourself would make it unserviceable. Any broken seal immediately voids support.

No. The German engineering company that carries out repairs is a contract manufacturer. They produce exclusively for our field but are not set up or responsible for handling end-user requests. All is managed through Health Angel Services to ensure repairs are processed correctly. Sending instruments directly may seem faster, but it only leads to delays and complications.

Normally no. Repairs are usually completed quickly once your instrument reaches the original manufacturer in Germany, so arranging and shipping a loaner would take about the same time as waiting for your own instrument to be returned. In rare cases, exceptions may be accommodated.

Yes. You will be kept informed at each step of the process:

1. The manufacturer inspects your instrument based on the issue you reported.

2. If a problem is found, you receive a repair proposal outlining the options and costs.

3. Once you approve, the repair is carried out.

4. Payment (including service fees) is processed through Health Angel Services. After payment is received, your instrument is shipped back to you with a track-and-trace number.

Biontology® is a highly specialised field with a relatively small number of instruments in use. This means custom parts are produced only in small batches, which increases their cost per piece.

Yearly professional contributions help make it possible to place the minimum orders required to keep parts available, but prices will always be higher than for mass-produced components.

No. All parts are produced to specific standards defined by Dr. Johan C. Boswinkel. Replicas may look similar but are not functionally identical. Even optical cables require testing for suitability.

To ensure compatibility and preserve the instrument’s core functions, all components must be obtained through Health Angel Services.

Owners are responsible for sending their biophoton instrument to Germany when repair is needed, including packaging and insurance. Health Angel Services coordinates the repair process but does not supply packaging or insurance services.

For customs purposes, the instruments are shipped under the category “electronic instrument with its own function” (HS Code 8543.70.90). This ensures they are not misclassified as medical devices and avoids delays at customs.

If customs contacts you, explain that your instrument is a wellness device, not a medical device. It works solely with biophotons (ultraweak light emissions from living systems) — a non-medical process that regulatory authorities do not regard as medically relevant.

No. All newly produced biophoton instruments are sold within Germany by the official distributor, BoChi Instruments GmbH. They are supplied on an Ex Works (EXW) Germany basis, meaning the distributor makes the device available for collection in Germany only.

You must collect your instrument in person, or you can appoint a representative to do so on your behalf. Health Angel Services facilitates the administrative process up to the point of placing your Chiren®3.0 order with BoChi Instruments GmbH, but the actual purchase, pick up, and all transport arrangements are your responsibility.

Collection always takes place at the distributor’s office in Germany, located near Düsseldorf Airport.

Yes. A representative can collect and export the Chiren®3.0 on your behalf.

However, VAT reclaim will not be possible, as customs will only stamp export documents in the name of the person on the invoice. This means a refund cannot be obtained if someone else carries the instrument out of the EU.

Health Angel Services can guide you with practical steps and, if needed, help connect you with another practitioner within our network who may assist with collection — but this is only voluntary support, not a formal responsibility.

Transport, import procedures, customs clearance, and taxes are always the buyer’s responsibility.

The yearly contribution is part of your professional participation in the official Biontology® organisation. It supports the collective infrastructure that makes practice possible: coordinated services, access to spare parts, ongoing updates and newsletters, and professional representation of the field. Contributing is not just a fee — it is part of being a Biontology® practitioner and sharing responsibility for the future of the modality.

No. The yearly contribution is modest — comparable to the cost of a basic professional membership or online subscription. It exists purely to sustain the collective framework that keeps Biontology® practitioners connected and supported.

For practitioners with a running practice, it represents only a symbolic fraction of what professional work with the instrument makes possible. It ensures that everyone continues to benefit from coordinated service, continuity, and support across the professional network.

No. Yearly participation is part of the collective framework that keeps the field functioning. Allowing practitioners to opt in and out depending on when they need service would undermine this shared responsibility. Participation must be continuous to ensure fairness and sustainability.

Participation is always linked to the instrument. If a biophoton instrument is transferred, any unpaid fees remain attached to it and must be settled before support or services can continue under the new owner.

Yearly participation is a binding part of the license to practice Biontology®. If contributions are not paid, no services or spare parts are provided until all outstanding fees (plus surcharge) are settled.

This also applies if the instrument is transferred second-hand — unpaid fees remain linked to the instrument and must be resolved before support can continue.

Participation is optional. If you choose not to contribute, you remain under the grace arrangement: only minimal support is available for your one registered original instrument, at higher prices and with limited access to services.

However, once you decide to participate, the grace arrangement no longer applies. The reason is that participation sustains the collective structure that makes full services possible — it cannot be paused and resumed only when discounts or support are needed. From that point onward, contributions are a continuing commitment, and services will be suspended if they are not kept up to date.

The grace arrangement does not apply. As with post-2016 instruments, services and spare parts are only available once yearly contributions are up to date, including settlement of any outstanding fees and surcharge.

Each actively used biophoton instrument requires its own yearly participation. This ensures that every instrument in active use can receive the same level of professional support and care. An actively used instrument means you are working with clients on it — which expands your commercial practice and generates its own revenue.

With more instruments in the field come greater responsibility and support needs, which are shared collectively. For this reason, every such instrument must be individually covered under the professional framework.

Backup instruments can be serviced once for storage readiness, but if a backup becomes your main instrument, it must then be brought under yearly participation.

Our newsletter shares official updates for the Biontology® professional field — including service notices, development updates, and insights into Dr. Johan C. Boswinkel’s original work. It is published by Health Angel Services to maintain clarity, coherence, and connection across Biontology® associates and the registered practitioner network.

No. The newsletter is an internal communication for Biontology® associates and registered practitioners only. It may not be forwarded, quoted, or republished outside this network.

This confidentiality also applies to all other professional resources — including training materials, forum posts, course notes, and email exchanges — which are intended exclusively for licensed and contributing practitioners. These materials form part of the protected intellectual property of the field and must not be shared outside the practitioner community.

If your instrument is already registered and you are enrolled in the professional association of Biontology®, first check whether our messages may have been filtered into your spam folder. Adding @healthangel.com to your safe sender list will help ensure future newsletters arrive correctly.

If you still do not receive them, contact service@healthangel.com to confirm or update your email address in our records.

If your instrument has not yet been registered or your yearly participation has not started, you will begin receiving newsletters automatically once these steps are completed. Register you instrument here.

Yes. The Biontology® community forum is facilitated by the Institute for Applied Biophoton Sciences. Upon entering the professional field, Health Angel Services supports your enrolment so that you have access.

The starter package for Chiren®3.0 includes access to books and training materials. In addition, the new forum (from 2025 onward) serves as a continuously expanding reference database for practitioners.

Certification allows you to demonstrate professional mastery and verified understanding within the Biontology® framework. It confirms that your work has been independently reviewed and that your application of the method is consistent with the original standards.

While it is not required for daily practice, certification strengthens your professional credibility and can deepen your confidence in working with complex cases. It also prepares you for more advanced roles — such as mentoring, coaching, or teaching — where both technical foundation and depth of insight must be solid enough to respond to questions and challenges that may never arise in your ordinary practice.

In essence, certification distinguishes practitioners who not only practice Biontology® but are also recognised for embodying its principles and quality at an advanced level.

If you are a licensed practitioner who wishes to become certified, Health Angel Services can assist you with enrolment in the certification program.

Once your registration is confirmed, all further steps — including practical assessment, theoretical evaluation, and case submissions — are organised and conducted by the Institute for Applied Biophoton Sciences.

Occasionally we receive requests from buyers or sellers and may pass on a contact as a courtesy. This is not a formal service, and we cannot take responsibility for the outcome. Please be aware that older devices may fail without warning due to obsolete parts, making purchase entirely at the buyer’s own risk.

Before selling your biophoton instrument, notify Health Angel Services. Instruments cannot simply be handed over, as support for the new owner is only possible once the official transfer process is completed. The exact steps depend on the instrument type.

For post-2016 instruments including the Chiren®3.0, the new owner must:

• sign a new License Agreement,

• register the instrument under their name,

• complete official training, and

• join yearly professional participation.

After completing these steps, the instrument will be recognised and supported within the Biontology® framework.

For instruments from before 2016, the new owner must register the instrument and join yearly professional participation. If they were not originally trained through one of Dr. Boswinkel’s original companies, completing applicable training through a licensed coach is also necessary.

Only after the proper process is completed can the new owner receive full support within the Biontology® framework.

This can be a valid pathway into the field, often quicker than waiting for a new instrument — and we fully support such transfers when handled correctly.

Always contact us first to confirm the instrument’s status and clarify the required steps and costs, including any outstanding fees. Training is mandatory for every new owner and must be purchased separately. Sometimes sellers set prices as if their own past training or entry costs are included, but these do not transfer to you.

The instrument must be registered with us and the transfer completed before any payment is made. Otherwise, you risk ending up with an unserviceable device and unresolved costs. When handled properly, however, resale is a safe and supported way to enter the field.

If you purchased a Chiren®3.0 privately, it cannot be supported until it is registered with us, and the full transfer process is completed. This includes signing a new License Agreement, completing the mandatory training (with a new invoice issued to you), and settling any outstanding yearly fees linked to the instrument.

Until these steps are finalised, the instrument remains unserviceable and outside the professional framework.

• EU businesses (B2B, valid VAT number): Reverse-charge applies no VAT charged; you declare it in your return.

• EU private practitioners (B2C): VAT applies at your local rate.

• Non-EU practitioners: No EU VAT charged, but local import VAT/duties may apply if goods are shipped.

• EU private participants (B2C): Yes, local VAT applies to all online training.

• EU businesses (B2B, valid VAT number): No VAT charged; reverse charge applies.

• Outside the EU: No VAT applies.

Yes. In-person training in Dubai is subject to 5% UAE VAT.

For EU participants, this can be lower than the consumer VAT charged on online training in their own country, which sometimes makes Dubai a cost-effective choice in addition to the benefit of hands-on training.

• EU Private buyers pay 19% German VAT, as the sale takes place in Germany.

• EU business buyers (B2B, with valid VAT number) can purchase without VAT under intra-community supply rules, with proof of transport to their EU country.

• Non-EU buyers pay 19% German VAT at purchase but can reclaim it through a customs document stamped at the airport (see below).

Yes — if you are the person named on the invoice and personally export the instrument out of the EU.

Steps:

1. Request a signed customs document from BoChi Instruments GmbH.

2. Present it to customs when leaving the EU and have it stamped.

3. Send the original stamped document back to Health Angel Services (we collect on behalf of BoChi Instruments GmbH).

Because Biontology® is supported by independent organisations in di8erent countries:

• Training: Supplied from Dubai in-person under UAE VAT rules, or online, subject to the distance learning VAT rules of your country of residence.

• Instruments: Sold in Germany, subject to German VAT rules.

• Services and spare parts: Supplied through Health Angel Services in the Netherlands under EU VAT rules.

Reverse charge is an EU VAT rule that applies when businesses in different EU countries trade with each other. Instead of the supplier charging VAT, the buyer records the VAT in their own VAT return — both as input tax and output tax — so the net result is no VAT to pay if it is accounted for properly.

Any import duties or taxes are determined by your own country’s regulations. As these are specific to each country, you should check with your local customs office for details.

Possibly. Your local customs may apply import VAT or duties when the package arrives.

Rules differ per country, so contact your customs office if you need clarity.

Practitioners, especially those who rely on Biontology® as their profession and main source of income, need a dependable point of contact that supports their work in practice. Our service foundation fulfils this role as a professional organisation “for the field, by the field”: coordinating service requests, spare parts, updates, and other logistical needs. 

Personal contact has always been an important part of the field, and this non-profit model makes it possible to provide that support in a consistent and sustainable way — safeguarding practitioners’ needs today and protecting the future of the modality.

Biontology® is more than the use of a device — it combines Dr. Johan C. Boswinkel’s biophoton technology, a comprehensive training pathway to apply it effectively, and the safeguarding of his original inventions.

Each of these areas requires its own expertise, organisation, and responsibility. Keeping them separate ensures quality, professionalism, and long-term sustainability for the field.

The Biontology® field involves responsibilities that are very different from each other:

• Licensing & intellectual property — safeguarded by Dr. Johan C. Boswinkel’s original, independent foundation in the Netherlands.

• Professional services & support — provided through our official non-profit service foundation for Biontology® practitioners and their clients, also based in the Netherlands.

• Chiren®3.0 production & distribution — managed by the exclusive distributor of Dr. Boswinkel’s biophoton instruments in Germany.

• Biontology® Training — delivered by the dedicated training institute in Dubai.

The strong reputation and effectiveness of Dr. Johan C. Boswinkel’s inventions have always attracted attention. To protect the integrity of his modality and ensure it is represented consistently, licensing is entrusted to his original, independent foundation.

By keeping ownership of the inventions separate from training, distribution, and. commercial activities, and granting licenses for their use, the foundation safeguards the modality as a whole and maintains consistent standards.

Because Biontology® is not simply about operating an instrument. It is a complete modality with its own principles, assessment techniques, and standards of practice.

The official training, delivered from Dubai, ensures practitioners learn the fundamentals developed by Dr. Johan C. Boswinkel, acquire the required skills, and follow ethical practice.

This goes far beyond the kind of “device instruction” that a distributor might o8er in other industries. Only a dedicated training institute can provide such a professional development pathway with the depth needed to preserve the integrity of Dr. Boswinkel’s original method.

The Chiren®3.0 is a unique instrument with no equivalent in other industries. Its production, compliance, and development require specialised expertise and significant investment.

These responsibilities are very different from practitioner support, which is already highly demanding. That is why biophoton instrument sales are handled by the exclusive distributor in Germany, while Health Angel Services remains focused on practitioners and clients.

Keeping these roles separate also ensures resources for service and resources for the instruments are never mixed, protecting both essential elements of the Biontology® field.

The License Agreement to practice Biontology® is issued by Stichting MIBA (Medical and Industrial Biophoton Applications) in the Netherlands. All steps leading up to the agreement — from orientation to preparation of the documents — are facilitated by Health Angel Services. You only interact directly with MIBA foundation when the agreement itself is signed.

All training is provided by the Institute for Applied Biophoton Sciences, the official training institute in Dubai. Health Angel Services coordinates the steps leading up to it.

Today, Dr. Boswinkel’s instruments are supplied by the official distributor, BoChi Instruments GmbH in Germany.

For each purchase, Health Angel Services coordinates the required steps: organising or updating your License Agreement, arranging training, and guiding you through the process until the biophoton instrument is collected.

Production is done by the original engineering company, Dr. Schwab Gesellschaft für Technologieberatung mbH in Germany, that has worked in long-standing cooperation with Dr. Boswinkel over many years and continues today to build his biophoton instruments exclusively for BoChi Instruments GmbH, the current distributor.

The original engineering company that builds the biophoton instruments also performs the repairs. All requests, however, must go through Health Angel Services, since practitioners are not direct clients of this contract manufacturer which is not set up for end-user contact.

For the Chiren®3.0, warranty responsibility rests with BoChi Instruments GmbH, the exclusive German distributor. Practitioners do not contact the distributor directly; all warranty and non-warranty service requests must be routed through Health Angel Services, which manages the process on their behalf.

Earlier versions (e.g., Chiren®1.0/2.0, produced 2005–2015) were sold by companies that no longer exist. While the original contract manufacturer still builds new devices, end-user support was never their role.

To avoid leaving owners without help, Health Angel Services now provides repairs and spare parts for registered instruments as long as components can be sourced. Some parts are obsolete, so in those cases an instrument may be considered total loss — but wherever possible, we help extend its lifespan.

If you are exploring Biontology® with the idea of entering the field and working with the Chiren®3.0 yourself, or want to upgrade your older biophoton instrument, contact Health Angel Services directly. We can connect you with a certified representative who serves as an official point of introduction to the modality and the latest instrument.

Whether you are a practitioner or a client, all questions relating to Biontology® — from licensing, training, instruments, service, and spare parts to general information and support — should be directed to Health Angel Services. We handle all inquiries and coordinate between the relevant organisations, so you always have one clear point of contact.
