Guest guest Posted September 13, 2001 Report Share Posted September 13, 2001 TENS is an excellent technology in general. I have had some experience with it, both direct and discussions with various inventors. Unfortunately, since it is so cheap, the FDA has mercilessly harrassed several manufacturers. This is a crime against humanity! It is now very difficult to obtain good units on the open market, and some of my underground contacts have expired. What we need is to get more research done with using electricity of specific frequencies, calibrated individually for each patient. This will prove to be very effective, and give us many good surprises. If you have a way to get ahold of a unit, it is certainly less expensive than drugs and likely to be much more effective. But since we don't actually know a lot about specific frequencies and finding what will work on a particular individual, it is a gamble.
