TENS Units

[Guest guest]

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.
