How many of you have read this book and what did you think of the info in the book? I found it very intersesting and a lot of info in this book explains stuff that most other crps/rsd books do not.

Have any of you used this STS machine made by Dynatronic?

Mike, I have two friends from another board use the STS machine. Neither of them have had lasting results unfortunately. I guess others have had great results from it from what I have been told. But I have never seen it.
Hugs, Denny

whatother board are you refering to? i would like to read their posts and learn more.

thanks

Dr Rhodes called me back today. We talked about 15-20minutes. The Sts machine is a little spendy but if it works it will be worth it. he mentioned that they have a new machine that can take pictures of your body parts to tell him exactly where to put the leads and what frequency.

he also mentioned sugar diabetes people is what he is working on now and in a few months they will have a 300 person fda trial on reversing(curing) diabetes.

I told him that I was going in for hbot treatments and he said that it would not work. i am confused now as the hbot and the sts machine were both looking promising and i dont know which one to try first.

I've talked to a Dr. Rhodes on behalf of my wife. Is he the same doctor from Texas who is developing a machine that sends small electrical pulses through the body? If he is the same doctor and without bringing it up to him when I talked to him, and some issues not clear in my mind, is that I've read that he claims to have had RSD but no longer. Also a red flag goes up with me with him is he seems to be tackling several diseases at once with this machine. He also made the claim to me his machine will be released world wide in the next couple of years because of its success. I hope its true and keeping an opened mind, and have been keeping my eyes opened to new info about him. I've scoured his website but have a gut feeling he's not all that he claims. If anyone has anymore to add on Dr. Rhodes I'd appreciate it.

Rhodes just completed all the hurdles thrown at him by an IRB (Investigational Review Board) and will be releasing his machines in Europe soon. He is releasing his VECTTOR2 machine this week in the US, and it will take him many months to get them out to all patients that he promised them to. He is very positive about his work, but I have to give him credit because each week that my daughter is being treated there is another patient that leaves his clinic in much better shape than they walked in. My daughter has had full body (including mouth, throat, digestive tract, etc.), from the start at age 11 from the H1N1 vaccine. She is now 13 and so impaired she participates in no schooling is wheelchair bound, and few if any outside contact. She has not improved with 3 months stays at Stanford (please, please do not go there, it is an atrocious program and I am so surprised that they haven’t been sued repeatedly) , UCLA, and a pain doc in La Jolla, CA. So far after 3 weeks of treatment with Rhodes she is still too sensitive to use the electrodes that are needed to properly use his machine. But I will keep you posted but on her treatment one way or another.

Hi Mike,

The only input I can give is when I was at the RSD Walk in Central Park this year I met a group of people who are big supporters of DR. Rhodes. The women who was treated by him claimed she could hardly walk prior to this treatment he is doing for RSD. Now she is perfect, again she claims to be and I hope she is living a full and wonderful life. They all wore "DR.RHODES SHIRTS" and really could not say enough good about him. But as my Dad would say "if it was so good everyone would be doing it". The other question that would stick in my mind is the STS has been around for years and I think it's one of those procedures it either works great, which I have heard great things, or it just doesn't. And I think Jim may have a really good point about him working on all these procedures for different conditions all at once and claiming complete success. I would question that in my head.

Mike are you the gentlement who did ketamine infusions in NYC? I think we have or had the same doctor. Just curious and I think it was you. Maybe PM me with the answer. If you don't want to post it here.


Good Luck

Mike, I dont think we are allowed to mention other boards here. And I really dont want to post the link to our board here. Its a quiet & small board. And we kind of like it that way. If I post it here it wont stay that way. I dont know anoither way to get you the information. Can you think of a way? I think you need this information very badly because one kept a journal.
Good luck.
Denny

Thanks Denny,

I totally understand what you are saying

Mike

Denny, I'm doing some research on different treatments for RSD and i'm interested to learn more about the experience of your friends. is there any way?
Thanks!
