I use it regularly and it has helped me tremendously. Wouldn't ever want to be without it.

Hubby has had this done by a couple of different massage therapists.
Depends on how toxic you are as to results.
1st time it greatly increased frequency of fainting spells. He was having acute Lyme symptoms and had not been diagnosed.
To give you an idea of the sensitivity of his nervous system at the time -- sitting on a mini-trampoline and just lightly bouncing up and down caused him to pass out within a couple of minutes.
2nd time several years later didn't seem to do much -- manual lymph drainage was more effective. This was a different model machine and also included ozone therapy.
Used to see these advertised in Alternative Medicine Magazine -- think the brand was Lymphstar Pro.
The mini-trampoline is also touted as a lymph mover -- is probably the more expensive option (about $300).

D@#$n great machine !! Never had a problem, sounds like it all depends on the skill of the therapist, my ND used it along with laser acupuncture detoxification, infra red and the ionic footbath to finish off treatment, always worked well for me.

Bea, doesn't your husband suffers from seizures? The machine is contra-indicated in folks who have seizures.
tjtighe, yes, you have to be careful if toxic levels are too high, it can overwhelm the system and make you feel awful. Also, a session on the machine followed by a lymph drainage massage is considered optimal. And if you add other modalities like Sue you really supercharge detoxification.
Sue, which infrared ionic foot bath do you use?

1st time hubby tried this he had only been sick for about 3 months -- was having tremors and passing out episodes, but "seizure-like" episodes had not developed at that point.
2nd time he did have the "seizure-like" episodes, but this did not aggravate them. His EEG's are abnormal, but there are no seizure spikes, so technically he does not have seizures. LLMD neurologist called them bizarre movement disorders caused by Lyme.

I've tried the LBG also. It helped me in the earlier stages, but now I'm noticing that manual lymphatic drainage, skin brushing and diet change is helping better.
