I'm not really planning to ask to do the trial. (I'm not a good guinea pig) but I'm going to go research about the treatment mentioned in the story since I hadnt heard about it before tonight.

I sent them a letter asking for a prospective on their company so that I can consider an investment into the device, but want to hear more about their plan/reasearch/development...If vibration harmonics is the answer, we should all start humming!

That's a theory I've never heard of. How did they arrive at the conclusion this would help MS patients? I mean, who tested this theory long enough to think that their balance was better with it? Seems strange....but hey, if it works for them that's great!

interesting.

I have been doing the Powerplate a whole body vibration machine workout that has had a huge impact on my spasticity and my walking abilities. I wonder when they will study this. But of course there is NO drug money to be made so its highly unlikely

They were pretty quick to repsond and wanted a sizeable donation to the university of Nebraska which would "benefit this study" They gave me a bunch of gobbledygook which led me to believe that unless I am plugged in exactly the right spot my money will go to the university and not this exact study. Got the run around. Bah! I hate that!

I wish them the best of luck.

Do you own a powerplate? Spensive little buggers.. There has to be a cheaper way to get vibrated.

I posted a comment on that story last night, said I wanted to hear more news stories about CCSVI and LDN. My comment posted immediately, but for some reason this morning, my comment is missing from the comment section on that story.

Gosh...I wonder why they removed my comment? Could it be that the people doing that study dont want anyone else to know about any other potential treatments for MS?

I dont like it when they censor comments like that. Seen them do it before. Other news stations dont seem to be so picky about the comments to their stories unless they're really really inappropriate.
