The hospital sent some sort of device home with my dad after he had surgery there. It was supposed to be used daily and was to speed up healing of the bone. I remember he was not to return it to the hospital when finished.
On another note, I had a pretty bad bone density reading in my spine 2 years ago, but didn’t want to take Boniva or Fosamax, so began taking AlgaeCal and then about 7 months ago added the use of a ‘whole body vibration’ machine. I just got a new reading last week and had gained 3 points. The doctor was impressed that I did it without meds and did not scold me - told me instead to keep using my ‘jiggle machine’.
All last week I had some sort of knee problem. Couldn’t lift my right leg, and to use a cane to walk (hobble) around.
My wife picked up one of those new “Icy Hot TENS” units for knee and shoulder. I put it on Friday afternoon, wore it overnight and the next morning, no more throbbing pain, and I could lift my leg and walk sans cane.
I’m a believer in the unit now.
TTF Tumor Treating Field therapy has been shown to have a great effect on the abiity of cancer cells to reproduce. Learn more here http://www.novocure.com/our-therapy.aspx
This is not to be confused with the hundreds of websites and products that are pure quackery about magical cancer cures from electric devices. The people behind those sites and “cures” that prey upon the desperation of cancer patients and their families have a paid reservation in hell.
And the new fad being Hypobaric Chambers that claim to cure autism.............
Hypobaric Chambers have been used for years in vet medicine for wound healing.
This is what cold laser therapy and pulsed emf therapy does. Puts energy into cells that need it so that they can get their repair processes working again.
How soon will we have 6011 or LH7018 body rod for healing?
This is legit. I know someone at MD Anderson who did some research on this, except he was looking at DC current.
I’ve been out of the MR biz about 3 years, but when I left standard suite was 1.5T, Research and high end was 3T, and research only was above 3T up to 11 but most were 7-9 IIRC. That being said even on a 1.5T I wouldn’t be surprised if even the technician isn’t getting some potential benefit, as the mag field pulses outside the room as well, but the RF is limited to inside the room.
Might be interesting to see if there are differences between ultrasound, CT, and MR techs related to either psychological or physiological symptoms and illness rates.
Truedat but they're now being advertised for treating everything from autism to macular degeneration to cerebral palsy.......
Crackpot science for the desperate? I don't know, you tell me.......
Yes. There is a lot of legitimate cancer research involving electric fields. Unfortunately Google searches and spam can lead a lot of people to some pretty hokey stuff.
