Thanks, Mrs, D., I did the search, and was astounded to find the recent thread, long and controversial. I had not imagined that it would have caused this much excitement all over again.
I was startled at their new website's advertising--they are now saying that the machine actually measures signals that the nerves are generating and sends back impulses that are the negative the what is measured. But I know for sure the unit I bought a decade ago didn't measure a thing. It was a pure output unit. A lot of whoo-ey.

Well, I personally think the new website is rather evasive and makes claims expansively. I tend to agree with you. The cost is huge if one does not have insurance.
With the popularity of this forum and our previous one, the track record of Rebuilder remains sketchy at best. (I hope this comment does not bring out the shills here!)

I know a retired person (from where I work at) told me about it... He was diagnosed with idiotic (Idiopathic) neuropathy... did some researching and found this machine... and SWEARS by it... says its really helped him out... hardly any more pain... I'd like to try one... but don't want to spend the $$$ on it if it doesn't work...

Ed... There have been some who liked it but not many. I guess that when long time frames are involved with an advertised product/device, and we don't hear the stampeding hooves and trumpeting of miraculous results, then the response is limited or poor.
Basically it is a IFc type electrical device. (inferential current) This link I found that examines the claims...such as "FDA approved" explains it better than I can. http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/...ealth-devices/ I mentioned in an earlier thread this summer that I did not like the graphic on the Rebuilder website. This is why... Quote:
It may very well be that for those with circulation problems the Rebuilder may work some...but PN is a huge problem with many presentations and variants. Say, someone with damaged mitochondria, applying electrical current won't work since the cells are damaged. Mitochondria work chemically not electrically. But that is just my take on it. When the mitochondria stop working the cell cannot maintain itself and hence the axon dies, or the autoimmune antibodies attack it from the outside. Neither process is "electrical". But the RESULT is that the electrical message from the sensory periphery cannot go further because the cell is damaged inside. Look at it this way. If the maker of this device which is so spectacular all PNers will benefit... he could lower his prices, sell to a million more people and still profit richly. But he charges huge prices to try to manipulate the buyer into thinking it is a great thing and sells fewer units. The masses are not getting this wonderful machine...because basically it is most likely only going to help a small section of the PNers. This concept is illustrated often today in our world. Look at cell phones, and computers. They work splendidly and provide a great benefit and hence their costs come down over time. The Rebuilder's cost goes UP over time! (as an example... my old cell phone..a huge bag phone in the boonies (our summer island) cost almost $20 a call to home. Now it is FREE with a low monthly charge.) The DEMAND for this service eventually solved the cost problem.

Some of our members over the years have not received that refund. You wouldn't know this, because you are relatively new, and those people are no longer here. (or there on the old venue)
Those on insurance of course would not get a $$ refund at all. That is a clever marketing strategy as well.
