When things like this... Rebuilder and special "socks" come out...if they worked you'd see a stampede to get them.

That has not happened, even with Ebay sales.

If it is too good to be true, beware!

Thats true , though my issues so overlapping sometimes and " odd " i suppose
think theres always that ? factor.

For example I just took some inderal yesterday for the first time , and its really triggered my pn pretty bad , ive had to even resort to my edgar cayce remedyand been pissin and drinking literally non-stop ( without just about all my pn pills ) like a trooper to try to get it too life.

Have you heard of anyone else having these issues with bbs , or is it quite common ?

Its really causing the me to hear that deep grumbly mumur you get when your pns bad , like some motor trying to start sigh

Isn't a rebuilder just a TENS unit marketed toward PN patients?

the rebuilder is some super expensive device.

a tens machine isnt that expensive. maybe 150. i have a tens machine from years ago working with my back. I have tried to put it on my feet but reall had no idea where to use the pads.

so this sock to use with my existing tens may be interesting........

The ReBuilder differs from ordinary TENS. If TENS units are applied in PN, they can cause other problems. PN is already a nerve "blockade" of sorts, and in the clinic, TENS may exacerbate PN.

We use socks in neuropathy clinics around the USA.

We choose only the genuine article,(ReBuilder) as cheaper socks
may be contaminated with heavy metals and byproducts of manufacture.

We also find they stand up to machine, clinic washings, conduct evenly with distal to proximal fabric density and current flow.

Beware of imitations, and use only Medicare Approved garments, under the order or supervision of an experienced clinician.

ok Mr. Rebuilder.......work on getting that price point down

These prices are set by Medicare. The factory makes ever attempt to keep prices down, and always works to get patients and clinicians what they need.
You can call any time.

So how many washings do you get from those socks before they deteriorate?

I would think Rebuilder would be concerned with the cold lasers out there as competition. Are you implying NDoc, that you use the Rebuilder IN the clinic, or you advise people to buy their own units?

The Rebuilder has been controversial here, with not many advocates over the years.

The Rebuilder control unit resembles an IFc unit.
And the newly revised website July 15, 2011... claims they prevent blood clots in the legs (from sitting for long periods)? Are there studies on THAT?
I would like to know more about that feature.

mrsD, I've referred your technical question regarding the thrombosis prevention to the inventor of the device.

As a clinical group, we have been using the ReBuilder as part of a treatment Protocols in our Neuropathy** Clinics across the country since 2008.

I have no concerns about cold laser whatsoever. It's not about competition, simply about what works best for each of our patients.

Personally, I find the ReBuilder excels when properly utilized under a clinicians supervision. If the patient has a favorable clinical trial, we advise they purchase a home care kit.

With regard to garment washings, the clinic duty cycle is far greater than home care. We have sets last 90 days or more with almost daily usage and machine washings. This is extreme, under normal usage they should last considerably longer.

Our clinics are very happy with the technical and product support from the factory.
