PN and ReBuilder-effective ???
 
The neuropathy in legs and feet is worsening, I found the site on ReBuilder and have searched for any content unrelated to the manufacturer or other sellers. Unable to find any reports etc... Would love to hear individual experiences for or against the efficacy of this device.

Then please offer any useful suggestions on how to introduce it to one of my 12 doctors who will not call it "snake oil quackery".

Maybe it is- maybe it could help me. I owe it to myself to find out and if any group would be able to tell me this is it. Thanks for all the informative and supportive entries on this forum. Wonderful! Understood at last!

Also anyone found any help with fasciculations(minute involuntary muscle twitches) of the lower legs? Along with restless leg syndrome I feel like my body refuses to go into relaxation, rest or sleep mode and I am exhausted.

Go to the top of the page
On the blue bar that starts with 'user CP' go to 'search'
enter... Rebuilder
You'll find past posts about it.

Hi Marty, still finding my way around the site and so far you are the only reply to my query. I would like to hear how your experience went and if you could figure out why it didn't work. Along with your full opinion. I doubt that I can find a doctor to even prescribe it for me at this rate. Maybe saving myself the trouble and cost.

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.

Assesment of rebuilder-snake oil
 
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.:confused:
