I appreciate the thought but like I said I’m pretty sure it’s complete quackery, to say nothing of the fact that it’s not even intended for dealing with genetic muscle formation disorders. I apologize if that sounds rude, I don’t mean it to, I really do appreciate the offer, it’s just not right for me in any way.

I happen to have one of the machines, acquired when I was working at Womack. Should you find yourself curious & want to conduct your own experiment on your terms to see if it helps you, perhaps I could mail it to ya. Just ship it back after your “clinical trial” is over. Let me know!

Ah… ok… From what I have read this isn’t supported by studies and the “clinically proven” aspects are being misapplied here… As far as I know, like an awful lot of the stuff being peddled to desperate pain patients, this is largely quackery and in most if not all cases doesn’t work any better than a placebo should be expected to (and pain responds better to placebo medicine than most issues). Which of course is sort of what you’re saying — “works great for some, does nothing for others” and no one can explain why, and no one can show it working conclusively in a proper scientific test… It actually really makes me angry that stuff like this is peddled when we have treatments out there that we know work but are restricted politically (a la my previous entry on oxy).

Either way though it’s being claimed to treat a different type of pain issue than what I have, which is a myopathy rather than a neuropathy. I do have some neuropathic pain from the nerve issue that’s caused the skin damage and hair loss, but it’s not being treated.

I was on my tablet, so I butchered the word. “Anodyne Therapy” I have seen it work on “some” but not all. Figured it was worth asking at least… Medicine is a practice after all.

“Anodyne Therapy is administered through a machine that emits monochromatic infrared photo energy in order to increase nitric oxide in the blood. It has been clinically proven to increase sensation in the areas affected by neuropathy and decrease pain.”

I have no idea what an amberdyne machine is, but I’m not particularly troubled by the nerve damage. It’s not my main problem. It is literally severed or severely damaged nerves, and they’ve been that way for years, so I’m guessing there’s nothing that can fix it at this point. Certainly nothing in the medical world.

What about an amberdyne machine for nerve therapy Shannon? Have you given it a try? Works great for some while it does nothing for others in my experience.
The pockets are an interesting endeavor, you never lose my attention! :)

The applications of this healed could really be amazing. Imagine “plugging” an mp3 player into you with a peg(s), mounting a jack that leads to internal circuitry. You could have memory stored with you and just plug into a usb to access it. The medical community could have your whole file at hand.
