Neuropathy
Following is a testimonial from Jerry in Menomonee Falls, WI :
"Once again thank you for your detailed help on the phone
today that fixed my unit. I think that both the battery freshness and contact
springs on the + side was the problem. It is nice to know that Service is not a
dead issue as far as this product is concerned.
I would hate to go on my cruise without the unit. Now I don't have to.
Let me explain my experience with my Neuropathy helping it by giving you a short
history that you may use to post on your website since there is not link to it
at present.
I am a 63 year old male and in good physical condition for my age. I am active
in sports (golf, tennis, swimming, walking) and work out every other day doing
cardio (recumbent bike about 16 miles per day) and weights. About 4-5 years ago,
I started to notice a problem with coldness in the bottom of my right foot. It
would come and go so I thought that the cold winter and too thin of soles on the
bottom of my shoes was the problem. When it continued in the summer months in a
very random cycle, I pretty much ignored it.
Progressively it got worse and began to extend further up my feet. What started
on the right foot, soon extended to now both the right and left foot which
extended almost up to the ankle. After taking a trip to Hawaii and remember
laying on the beach and having cold feet, I knew, that I had to search for
something to help, what I thought at the time to be, my circulation. At this
time, I had still not been to a doctor. Shortly after my return from Hawaii, I
attended a Trade fair show in Wisconsin at the State Fair Grounds. There I saw a
booth for the Rhythm Touch Q2 Way (Red Beat Light) and after a short demo,
purchased one and all the accessories but did not consider using it for my cold
feet. I used it mainly for head aches, sports injuries, and stiff necks but
very, very, intermittently and only for these or similar conditions.
By now the discomfort in my feet was actually painful. I tried magnets. I
purchased some fairly expensive ones to be worn around the ankles and wrists,
and, even though they helped or appeared to do good, I still had problems and my
condition was getting worse with frequent episodes of cold feet.
After reading an article in the newspaper that gave the symptoms for PAD
(peripheral arterial disease), I decided to really get checked out by my doctor.
He did some blood work and ruled out diabetes and thyroid. Upon going to a
specialist, I was told that I did not have PAD and my circulation was fine. Next
stop a neurologist. He did a test with electrodes to check nerve damage and
found that I had neuropathy. There appears to be no cure for neuropathy which he
told me would get worse. I asked about medication.
Two actions came out of my diagnosis and his response.... He said that some
people get relief from a homeopathic that can be purchased at Walgreens or other
heath stores. I immediately went out and tried Alpha Lipoic Acid (200mg) and
began taking 1 a day. It really helped.
I also thought about the Neurologist test using electrodes and electrical shock
to check for nerve damage. It reminded me about my Rhythm Touch Q2 Way that I
had purchased but never used for my neuropathy.
I wondered if it to would also help. About 3 months ago, I started using it and
have noticed a dramatic improvement using both treatments. Now after talking to
you about application and the frequency, I will try it. I will keep in touch and
let you know how if my condition continues to improve.
Compared to what it was before, my life is much more manageable with nowhere the
degree of discomfort that I had which was actually affecting my quality of life.
Thank you for the Rhythm Touch and helping me getting my unit working again."
