Here is one person's opinion on the Rebuilder:

I had a very unsatisfying 'go-round' with these people about 10 years ago, before the slick website, and when they were sending out promotional VCR tapes made in someone's basement or garage with a home recorder.
The pix of the product were long shots (its a small device about twice the size of a cell phone) and you never could what the controls were, or tell what it was - that you got for your $600-$800 (but $200 off if you bought it within the next 48 hrs!!), except a plastic foot bath and some sort of 'control'. they were hot on selling the (overpriced & ridiculous shipping $) additives for the foot bath (I think epsom salts work... or is it baking soda?) and other salves or cremes.
I came to the conclusion that they were 'snake-oil' salesman, but have since found out that they do honor the money-back warranty.... if you meet the requirements.

There are some that swear by them. If you do a search you may find some that said it help them greatly. If not do a search on this site:

Sending out a great THANK YOU to all the folks who took the time to provide the links to some very darkly amusing stories of the modern snake oil sales of this overpriced, over-hyped devices. I had called the hospital neuro- rehab unit and spoke with the head therapist. Never heard a whisper about the thing. Together with the info on this site I am making progress toward being proactive with options which will help. I feel hopeful in a more realistic way. What a great support this site is!! Again many thanks to all and hope this updates the question of efficacy once and for all. Onward...one step at a time....

Hello,
You can put me in the "Been There Done That" catagory. I believe it helped for a while, but its been over a year since using it. Maybe you would be better served doing foot soaks using Epson salts. JMO

I too have been trying to determine whether the "Re-Builder" is worth the time, and money. Can anyone tell me if the ad claiming to be "FDA" approved, and "paid for by medicare" are true statements, or purely hype? I would love to be able to either see about getting a unit, or throwing the ad in the "trash bin" once and for all. Thanks for any help.

If you go to MrsD's link, there's a statement about the FDA approval.
Seems it is for all of the 'TENS' type units, not this particular one.
Don't know about the Medicare part.
Guess you'd have to have a doc Rx it for you & demand that it be part of your therapy before they'd pay- if they do at all.

Have you looked into iodine light therapy?

John used it and had immediate reduction in pain. He dropped from a about 4 -5 on the pain scale down to 1 -2 within the first few weeks. Since he's doing so much better now, he hasn't had need to pull it out of the closet in over two years so I don't know if he used it more if it would provide a benefit to him anymore.

--do you mean Anodyne light therapy?
