I just want to say thank you to all the people I talked to this weekend while treating with the ONDAMED. Unfortunately we were booked solid on Saturday and Sunday and were unable to get to everyone. But even in this situation I found inspiration. There were a number of people, one of them being Tincup, who gave up their appointments because they saw others who could use it more. As I mentioned in a short speech on Sunday have not been in the mix with the lyme community in a long time. It was wonderful to look into the eyes of all who were there. In some I saw hope, in some I saw pain, in others I compassion. Yet what saw in everyone's eyes was committment and determination. I was treating people until 1am on Saturday and 8pm on Sunday long after everyone had left but at no time did I feel it was work---I was tired but the eyes of those I had the privelege to meet carried me through. On my cab ride to the airport I broke down and began to cry. The cab driver asked me if anything was wrong. I answered him by saying that it wasnt that anything was wrong---I was crying because I had just met the most extraordinary group of individuals I will ever meet. I knows this sounds sappy but it really was a religous experience for me and I wanted to share it with you before it became just a memory ----thank you ----mike

Mike, I wished i could have had an appt - I missed the fact that we were supposed to sign up on saturday morning (whoops).
I did enjoy watching the 'sessions' but have no real idea what it was supposed to be doing. Also, (not sure if i'm allowed to ask) but are any docs in the Reston - VA area getting the machine?
You seemed very helpful, it was amazing that every time i walked by there was someone in the seat.
Ofcourse TC would give up her spot - no surprise there!!
Thank YOU Mike.

Your story gave me hope. We could have listened to you for a longer period of time.
I, too, would like to know if someone in our area is purchasing a machine.
Have you sold to any holistic chiropractors? Any in Northern VA? If we contacted you - could you tell us if any kind of practitioner in our area is using the O???

What is the "O?"

The response was so amazing that we are currently in the works of setting up a free workshop in june in Reston. We want this in LLMDs offices. We dont want you to have to trapse all of the state or country to get treatment--we want to integrate this with all the other protocols and have your info all in one place so your Doc can make decisions in real time---So --once we get this set up we will be contacting you to so you can make arrangements--we need you to bring your Docs and Chiropracters and other healthcare workers. Some people from your local support group mentioned the idea of pooling funds together and having a place every week ot ywice a week where the machine they've purchased would be administered by a couple people that I train (a nurse or doc or any healthcare practitioner)---There are alot more options than just buying it outright---mike

Mike, I read a post a few weeks ago about Ondamed, but can't find it now...
would you mind posting some links for those who want to learn more about it? I had really wanted to make the conference...and after reading your and Tincup's posts, I'm disappointed that I didn't :~(
Thanks, Nancy

Hi Mike -
I didn't get a chance to sit in the chair either but wished I had.
I am down in NC and hope that our LLMD will consider this machine for his office.
I have your contact info. and will probably be contacting you in the future.
You were not the only one crying that weekend...I went up to my hotel room and had a complete "come apart" as my Mom calls it on Saturday night...There were just so many emotions flying through the air.
Thanks for working with people so late and administering the treatments. I sat with Dr. Goldberg on the way to the airport...he really believes that ONDAMED is the way to go.
Take care!
