Re: Alpha-Stim 100

I am currently using the Alpha-Stim 100 to treat the patella tendonitis in my knees. A year ago July, I was running eight to ten miles a day, cycling, climbing the stairmaster at my gym. I enjoyed a mobile lifestyle. Then my knees retaliated. The swelling was intense. The pain off the scale. I barely left my bed for three months then slowly wobbled about like Charlie Chaplin. Climbing the stairs to my apartment felt like I was tackling Mount Everest.

Despite the fact I didn't have health  insurance, I contacted a doctor. My knees didn't respond to the traditional therapeutic avenues- TENs, anti-inflammatories, ice packs. So my doctor ran a comprehensive series of blood tests searching for a cause. Nothing abnormal was found. The only relief I experienced was ingesting high doses of steroids. Long term, the drug wasn't an option. My doctor concluded it would take a year, perhaps two, for the swelling to subside. I was told to let nature take its course.

I was patient for six months. No change. After a year I gave up waiting and began jog walking. It hurt. The swelling increased so I iced my knees afterwards. Enough was enough. I was going stir crazy. Then I saw an ad for the Alpha-Stim 100. Working as a free lance writer for the local paper I thought this was something our readers might benefit from. I knew I was curious.

I began using the device three times a week for an hour each session. After two weeks the swelling subsided. I went dancing for the first time in over a year. I walked fluidly once again. I felt like a miracle occurred. I was also angry my doctor hadn't known about the Alpha-Stim. I could have lived the past year of my life in a lot less pain had he been up to date with Dr. Kirsch's technology.

I am a firm believer in the healing abilities of the Alpha-Stim. I am running up to two miles a day now. My pace is slow but painless.

To Dr. Kirsch, I say thank you.

Sincerely,
Nancy Eichhorn
