FYI. The company is selling refurbished units on ebay. They come with a 5 year warranty and the current special of buying one unit and receiving a second unit free. Why anybody would need 2 units I don't know, but perhaps 2 people could split costs and each get one a little cheaper. I have not tried the unit myself but just wanted to share the info.

The only relief I have had from the Rebuilder is instant relief from pain which lasts around 1hr, unfortunately I have seen my SFPN worsen instead of the promised improvement.
The most improvement I have had is with Mrs D's Epsom salts tip, soaking in luke warm water.
Sorry I don't have better news on this.

Why do they have 'refurbished' units?
(I just hate that word-rebuilt or upgraded is more honest)
Where do they get the units to 'refurbish'?
Returns from unhappy customers? Defective units?
I've never felt warm & fuzzy about that company.
I equate them with snake-oil, New York, fast talker, pitch-men.

I'm with you, Bob, on this one!

I have always been skeptical of the Rebuilder!

Hello,
I purchased the Rebuilder in '07 and if I had to do it over I would pass on it, the foot baths work just as well and a lot cheaper. It has gathered a good amount of dust LOL

you can get a similiar effect using a divided foot bath, epsom salts, and an interferential therapy unit for less than $150. this is the one i have.

Yes, I think the Rebuilder is just a sham.

The inferential units are very affordable IMO.

I really think the epsom salts in the foot bath they recommend is the main player!

And if you understand that it is a treatment for relief, on occasion- that lasts a short while..... all well and good. I like to sit in the vibrating recliners at the mall whilemy wife is shopping. Makes me feel comfy when it is doing its thing. Even feels nice for a while after. Well worth the few quarters spent for the 'ride'. I used to like the mechanical horse in front of the supermarket when I was a kid, too. But that was it, always left me wanting more cause it was a fun fantasy.
If you like to soak your feet at the end of a long day, to make them feel better...that's nice.
But that's it! No cures. Nothing very special other than a nice foot soak.
The newer 'dry' treatments....maybe like a TENS treatment?
I'm very skeptical...........snake-oil.
I'm all for the entrepreneur who makes money on a product well worth the price and delivers to the customer, but i'm not anxious to line the pockets of a dubious 'inventor's' miracle cure

Well said Bob, I agree with every word-DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY on this if you are thinking of buying, just bulk buy Epsoms for the same effect.

I am 10 days using the rebuilder. I was having a lot of pain in the feet about 7-8 out of 10 at night, my balance problems resulted in 2 falls, and the numbness in my feet on a scale of 1-10 was about a 7-8. After 10 days, I am down to pain at night is < 4 , Balance problems < 4 (no more falls either), numbness at night < 4.

In addition to the rebuilder I am also using the supplement list from Wing42. trying to stay on an auto-immune diet.

One problem still is walking distance. At the end of a mile my balance gets worse (7-8 at the end ) starting with a 3-4 at the beginning. I am stretching.

I believe my neuropathy started with damage to the nerves in my back from back injury 10 years ago and has gotten worse through diet, stress, etc.

I am going to stay with the rebuilder. It does seem to be part of the answer for me. At the end of 30 days I will post another reply. I keep daily records and always try to observe my symptoms. I sure hope the distance and balance issues improve, but maybe there is still some aggravation of the nerves.

At the end of 30 days I also plan to see a doctor that has studied functional neurology in Broward Florida for possible next steps.
