Hmmm...

I believe in magnet/electrical therapy. Our bodies are electromagnetic machines, after all, that get out of whack from environmental toxins.
I have seen shows about a magnetic machine that therapists use on the brain to lessen symptoms of depression.

You have seen your kitty improve health-wise from this...as you said, the placebo effect wouldn't apply to him, since they don't have the capacity to convince themselves that a therapy is working.

Have you done a lot of research into this? You have tried the various allopathic therapies, and have gotten worse. Have you tried alternative therapies like accupuncture?

You are the one who is suffering so...if you make a reasoned argument, I am sure your husband will be on the same page. But I understand about the $$ issue with your man...mine is the same way about things.

Let us know...keep us informed...and know we are walking with you, if only in the virtual world

Trust me, I am #1 in line with the skeptics. I didnt want to believe my kitty would get better with hocus pocus man waving his magic wand over him, but...there he is, playing in the sun today. Rolling over, asking to shred my socks that I was going to wear. Asking to please let me have him help me change the bed, and playing happily in the pile of warm laundry when it came out of the dryer.

I have MY own money, so I wont be asking DH for any. Its just that we discuss ALL of our choices on what to spend money on. From pasta to percocet, we talk about it. 1 grand is a HUGE amount of money to me, but look how many lined up to give 10k to the CCSVI procedure only to have it either not work, work for a bit and have to pay to have it re-done or ...how many bottles of monavie juice have we purchased? How many times have I had accupuncture? accupressure? massage? TENS units? spinal stimulators? unlabled bottles of skunk urine to rub on my feet? put a bar of soap under my sheets to prevent cramps? isnt it funny how far we are willing to go.

I personally saw my kitty go from deaths door (i was going to put him to sleep if they didnt do something dramatic) to being a playful kitty and full of love. He cannot be influenced by placebo effect. So...there MUST be something to this!

So...I AM going to see this woman. I AM going to keep praying that my sight will return. That the blind will see, and the lame will walk. Do I expect her to correct 50 years of bad habits, insults, injuries, and meds over night? well..I hope, but probably it will be a series of stuff. I was raised on an indian reservation so I am accustomed to the roots, berries, and naturopathic way of doing stuff.

Thanks for the prayers and well wishes. It will either be the best money I ever spent, or the one with the best tale to it.

Good luck dej! At first I was thinking another snake oil "cure", but after seeing the video and especially hearing of Jack's wonderful response, I'm not so sure. You're the one who isn't able to see.....it's your money as you said....so it certainly should be up to you to make the decision to have this treatment or not. There seem to be no bad side effects, which can't be said of our MS therapies, so in my humble opinion....go for it! You've got nothing to lose and a whole new life to gain!!!
