Before investing sizable amounts of money in LENS therapy, I suggest reading the LENS Clinician's Agreement. Specifically the areas of treatment as I quote from the OCHS Lab web site at http://www.ochslabs.com/files/Agreem...10_02_2008.doc

<Below is a list of diagnoses. The LENS does not cure any of these problems. However it will often increase functioning for somebody with symptoms associated with these problems. If the problem is a progressive disease, the functional improvements will be temporary, somewhere between two and five years, before the disease takes its course.

Treatment of symptoms associated with the following problems are recommended during the first two years the LENS Clinician gains experience:

Alzheimer’s Disease (early stages)
Anxiety problems
Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, and tuberous sclerosis PDDs
Attention Deficit Disorder, with and without hyperactivity
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Depression, all types from reactive to lifelong endogenous
Explosiveness and Irritability
Head injury and post-concussive problems
Migraine
Parkinson’s Disease (early stages)
Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome
Stroke and spinal cord injury paralysis (when the home trainer is available)
Thoracic outlet syndrome

Treatment of symptoms associated with the following problems are recommended after Clinician feels more confident:

Chronic fatigue syndrome
Fibromyalgia
Multiple-Personality Disorder
Seizure disorders
Tourette’s and other tic disorders>

I am unimpressed by the qualifications recommended for LENS clinicians.
<The LENS Clinician must be licensed or certified in a health care profession, or have graduate university training and supervised experience in psychotherapy, have been trained to use the LENS system and are strongly encouraged to carry malpractice insurance.>

The OCHSLAB.com web site is still devoid of any supporting research or clinical studies.

The FDA registered device label is of little meaning. It is not an FDA approved device. It is an exempt device meaning it can be used as long as it is not promoted to treat any specific diagnosis of medical condition.

In past documentation, Len Ochs (the developer) cautioned against using it with persons who have experience seizures.

The claim that I find interesting is "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome." As one who has suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for almost 20 years, and who has used all of the non-surgical therapies available to help me avoid surgery, I am totally dumbfounded as to how LENS could effect the symptoms of CTS. I also suffer from Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, sort of an upper back version of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. And, useful for spinal cord injury paralysis????

There is a saying; "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

There may be some people who had directly benefited from LENS therapy but I would believe this number to be a very small part of those treated. There is likely a large 'placebo effect' in this group.

A sound double blind clinical study is called for. Such a study could settle this controversy.

This post is not meant to denigrate or devalue any other poster. Their opinions are their opinions. I am just presenting the documentation behind the LENS system with some observations of such documents.
