Healing Is Voltage®

Dr. Jerry Tennant

Dr. Tennant often compared a cell to a rechargeable battery. In his books, he used that analogy to explore voltage and polarity. A battery’s voltage is the difference in electrical potential between its ends. Its polarity tells you which end is positive. Those ideas shaped the BioModulator® and BioTransducer®.

If you came looking for an appointment, Dr. Tennant has retired from clinical practice and no longer sees patients. For questions about his method or devices, you can speak directly with Tennant Health, the company he founded.

About 30 minutes, one-on-one with the Tennant Health device team.

The Tennant System

Bring Dr. Tennant’s method home.

Dr. Tennant compared reversed polarity to a battery installed backward. In his Healing Is Voltage® model, the first question was whether tissue could hold a charge. The second was whether it had enough voltage for repair. That’s why he paired two tools.

BioTransducer® · Polarity first

In Dr. Tennant’s framework, the BioTransducer® uses scalar energy to address what he described as reversed polarity. It operates without skin contact and is the instrument used in Tennant Health’s Emotion Reset protocol.

The rechargeable device operates over clothing. Tennant Health’s educational materials explain where the BioTransducer® fits into its protocols and discuss inflammation as part of Dr. Tennant’s framework.

BioModulator® · Adaptive microcurrent

In Dr. Tennant’s method, the BioModulator® delivers microcurrent with the aim of restoring cellular voltage. Its adaptive biofeedback tracks the electrical response where the electrode touches the skin and adjusts the stimulation in real time.

The BioModulator® is a Class II device for pain management.

If you decide to purchase, Tennant Health coordinates your prescription review with a licensed healthcare provider.

About Dr. Jerry Tennant

From eye surgery to invention

Dr. Tennant founded the Dallas Eye Institute and helped develop outpatient eye surgery. He also designed tools for the operating room. U.S. patents list him as an inventor of ophthalmic lenses and surgical instruments.

He traces his interest in cellular voltage to a long illness that interrupted his surgical career. Those questions became the subject of his Healing Is Voltage® books. He later founded Tennant Health.

Early education and training

His studies included Texas Tech University, the University of Houston School of Optometry, and Southwestern Medical School. From 1965 to 1968, his ophthalmology training included Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Parkland Hospital.

How do I get my Institute records or send them to another provider?

Call Tennant Health or email the team for instructions on requesting a copy or transfer. If you email, ask how to submit the request securely. Leave medical details, identification documents, and attachments out of that first message.

What can I ask during a free discussion with Tennant Health?

You’ll speak one-on-one with the Tennant Health team for about 30 minutes. Bring questions about Dr. Tennant’s method, the roles of the two devices, pricing, or what training comes with ownership. If you choose the BioModulator®, the team coordinates the prescription review.

The current Tennant devices

What changed when Dr. Tennant redesigned the BioModulator® in 2025?

Dr. Tennant redesigned the Pro Elite around his updated protocols. A built-in electrode delivers adaptive microcurrent directly to a selected area. His core applications no longer require footplates or hand grips. Tennant Health describes many targeted applications as taking about 5–10 minutes, depending on the protocol.

I’ve seen a BioModulator described as “original.” How can I tell which model I’m looking at?

Look for the model name on the handset or in the listing. The device pictured on this page is the BioModulator® Pro Elite. If you have an earlier model or saw one in an older talk, give Tennant Health the model name so the team can help identify its generation and explain which training applies.

How does the BioTransducer® fit into his method? Does it need the handset?

Dr. Tennant associates the contact-free BioTransducer® with polarity in his Healing Is Voltage® framework. Earlier versions drew power from the BioModulator. The current BioTransducer has its own USB-C rechargeable battery, so it can operate independently or alongside the handset when the protocol calls for both.

I own an earlier device. Which instructions should I use?

Use the instructions for your device generation. Tennant Health developed its current protocols for the redesigned equipment. If you’re unsure which guide applies, give the team the model name from your handset.

Dr. Tennant’s work

I heard Dr. Tennant speak. Where should I start with his method or books?

Tennant Health’s introduction to Healing Is Voltage® explains what Dr. Tennant means by voltage and polarity and how he connects stressors to low voltage in his framework. For a book-length introduction, start with The Handbook. His biography traces his path from eye surgery to medical invention.

Where can I watch a talk or attend a conference?

Visit Tennant Health’s video library for recordings. Its events calendar lists upcoming Tennant Talks and conferences, with attendance and registration details for each event.

How do I invite Dr. Tennant to a podcast, interview, or speaking event?

Email the Tennant Health team with your show or organization, the audience, your proposed topic, and a preferred date. Include the location or recording platform so the team can review the invitation.
