I am reporting that I am now electrically charged.

You heard of,,,if your OLD like me,,,,the SIX million dollar man????

Not me tho,,more like the 'six cent' tinker toy boy

Lady brought over my device this morning and hooked it up. Cant feel a thing with electrode patches on.

Lady says it takes 4-6 WEEKS for anything to show up via x-ray.

So how would one know if its due to normal healing or stimulation??

I can see the studies done on these. Guy breaks both legs,,,puts stimulator on one leg and not the other,,,,yeah right,,,not likely

ANYONE have first or secondhand knowledge of these things??On broken,,,,more like 'shattered' bones???

Yes, it can work very well, actually. There have been studies done on sound or vibration therapy for bone healing (I think with broken legs) and it has clearly speeded and enhanced healing by a remarkable margin by speeding /warming up circulation and cellular metabolism at the injury site, primarily.

My guess is that the increased circulation also takes away the oxidative stress from the injury, basically pulling away the toxic byproducts from the injury for fresh blood to nourish.

I have some article saved in my file but can't remember how to find it. I've looked for all the logical places in my computer files (which are very disorganized).

Find the studies done on your actual machine. Find out exactly HOW it works and then search those terms.

Key search terms, be sure to use each search set through both internet and PubMed:

"bone healing" ultrasound

"bone healing" vibration

"bone healing" sound

"Sound waves" "bone healing"

If you happen to have a RIFE machine, there are also some frequencies there for bone healing.

Hey there sport...

Or do we call you the 6 cent tinker boy toy?

I have no clue if it works or not... just hoping you will be better soon with or without it. BUT...

If something goes haywire with that contraption, would you mind coming down my way and hanging out in the living room for a couple of weeks?

I figure I could dump a box of pretty lights in your lap... then you could turn on the machine and pretend you are a Christmas tree.

It would save me a lot of work.. if you wouldn't mind of course.

[lol]

Hugs to you dear Don. FEEL BETTER SOON!!!!

I've been laughing out loud since I spotted this thread. But it's Christmas and only good girls get toys. So.....

But seriously Don I hope your bone stimulator gives your comfort.
