A few months ago, we took my mother-in-law for PEMF Therapy to try to help her Parkinson's and it didn't seem to work. 3 days a week for a month. (Pulsed Magnetic Therapy - Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy)
However,
My wife and I did it too, figuring it wouldn't harm us (a ‘real’ doctor told us we had nothing to lose - it wouldn't hurt us and it might or might not help).
I noticed a huge improvement in my vision - I'm farsighted and could actually read fine print. Well the PEMF place was 5 hours away (round trip), and although the treatments weren't that expensive (he took donations), the gasoline and time consumed was too much. So after a month of it not helping my mother-in-law's Parkinson's, we quit going - it's a 5 hour round trip and that's too much.
As time went on, my vision reverted to it's pre-PEMF state (Sadly the improvement wasn't permanent).
So I started looking on the Internet for these devices, and I see price tags of $3000 or so and claims of anti-aging, nerve regeneration, arthritis relief, and so on.
Of course, I'm skeptical, especially at those price tags.
So I'm wondering, especially about the nerve regeneration process. I had ear problems, and a couple of misdiagnoses and a couple of ENT doctors before the problem was solved.
The problem that was occurring with frequency hasn't reared it's ugly head in well over a year with dust mite protection in my home and daily low dose children's Dimetapp.
Layman's description - I have an allergy to dust mites (verified by a RAST test). The dust mite protein in my system caused a severe inflammation response. This cut off the blood supply to some of the cilia nerve cells (hair cells) in my inner ear - high frequency is most affected. This makes it difficult to understand what people are saying, even with the prescribed hearing aids.
So I know, I'm desperate for a cure, even when everything on the Internet says nothing can be done yet. They are talking about 5 years or more for stem cell human trials.
So my thinking is that PEMFt obviously benefited my eyes so it does something and IF (and I know that's a big IF):
1) There is a chance it might help my ears
2) There is a chance it might do other good things for me like anti-aging
3) Prolonged treatment wouldn't harm me
I might give it a try.
Does anybody know anything about this?
If it does work, I need to know all about it. One site says low power sawtooth waves are best, another says high power sine waves are best (etc.), and each manufacturer says their system is best and the other methods don't work.
If I can't get meaningful information from someone other than the manufacturer, I'm not going to spring for $3000 worth of placebo. If all it does is improve my vision, I can get new eyeglasses for much less.
Thanks

The SAMe worked the best for me, but it was expensive, and certain brands didn't work as well as others. |

Boy, tell me about the expense of all the supplements!! I sure hope this machine works well for you because I can't wait to get one. In the long run it should be much cheaper than supplements over and over. Z, Good luck on your medical problems! DeanaMaye |

For the past 3 days, my tinnitus is almost gone. A slight hiss that is so quiet, I can hardly hear it. I hope this keeps up. If so, it's a miracle. I've got my fingers crossed. |

Shouldn't have said anything. While for the past few days the tinnitus was about 1 on a scale of one to 10, today it's about a 3. But all in all it's still much better than it was. |

I bought another for my mother-in-law. She is suffering from Parkinson's Disease, and I've read a lot of peer-reviewed reports that are very encouraging. It seems to help in the majority of cases, but not all of them. I'll keep you posted. |

I'm a musician, and my mother-in-law comes to see us perform every Tuesday afternoon. After sleeping with the new device for 2 nights, instead of us seeing her “Frozen Parkinson's Face” in the audience, her eyes were alive, she was smiling, and instead of just responding, she was initiating conversation with the other regulars. She also remarked that she is walking better and can walk farther without having to sit to avoid a fall. |

My mother-in-law comes out to see us perform every Tuesday afternoon. We are used to seeing her sitting at a table in the audience with all the regulars. She sits there with the Parkinson's Frozen Face, eyes straight ahead, mouth half open, and never initiates conversation but only responds to others. |
