Also on the ReBuilder site is the claim that the Rebuilder prevents blood clots in the leg.
So what we have is theory only with a fancy graphic. And a long history here over the years, where some people have had less than spectacular results from ReBuilder... and now it is coming around again?
The ReBuilder website was just updated July 15, 2011.
I wonder how the FDA would respond to the claim that ReBuilder prevents a serious common medical problem , blood clots? They require proof of that you know. Why, if this claim were true, people getting joint replacements would be on the ReBuilder in the hospital and not on Lovonex or heparin therapy.
The ReBuilder would be in every nursing home across America!
I wonder if TSA would even let someone take a ReBuilder on a plane as suggested! 
Yes, I can see a chiropractor, suggesting the patient BUY their own unit. That is the goal after all. |
Hmm... I thought this discussion was just about what gives patients significant help with their PN.
I'll let you discuss website content with the manufacturer if you like.
You do raise a good point, and I accept that.
Keep in mind though the venous and muscle pump activity generated by a DC signal component in the device is what is advocated to reduce the risk of venous thrombosis, and helps explain why vascular patients get relief of their accompanying PN symptoms in many cases.
As clinicians, we only advocate clinical trials first. ReBuilder Purchases are only made upon request by the patient, only dispensed by us if they have proven clinical benefit.
And you'd have to count the thousands of MD usages and prescriptions for the ReBuilder too, and many prescribed by PTs, DNs, DMDs etc. No need to insult only the DCs.
No one else has yet demonstrated better answers as of today to help the misery of PN patients. That's why we use this device among others to help wherever it's effective.
