Some sort of pulsed electromagnetic field. Very expensive ($4000) with little evidence to suppport its use. I'd give it a shot, however, if it weren't so darn expensive. I just can't imagine spending that much money unless I KNEW it would work.

I thought I'd write about the BEMER 3000. I have been using one for almost 3 months now. I use it at least twice a day and often 3 or 4 times a day for 8 minutes at a time. Over the period of 3 months I've used it, it's greatly helped to stabilize my energy levels more than anything I've tried over the past year of illness. I suffered with insomnia and exhaustion for 9 months prior the buying the BEMER 3000.
My recent troubles started 1 year ago when I had a gastric ulcer that perforated my stomach and blocked my gastric canal. I was misdiagnosed and the hospital made some serious errors that caused me to be on tubes and morphine for a week longer than should have been necessary. I was over prescribed antibiotics. When it was determined (after the hospital stay) that the Helicobacter Pylori Bacterium was the culprit, I was then given even more antibiotics. I've had to take them every 3 months until now -- A recent test shows I'm finally rid of it.
As a result of all this messing around with my guts, I ended up with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), and Candida overgrowth. I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFIDS) for a few years back in the 1980's and now think that all these problems are related -- mostly caused by bacterial infection and flora imbalance in my digestive tract.
Along with the miserable digestive complaints that go with the digestive dysbiosis, I had debilitating fatigue (again!) and couldn't sleep at all. My body wasn't absorbing minerals properly and I couldn't keep weight on. I was becoming emaciated.
I bought the BEMER 3000 out of sheer desperation and also because I have the highest regard and trust for the person who recommended it to me. I first rented it for 2 months (at $150/mo.) I was given the option of buying it after 2 months and applying my $300 rental fees toward it purchase. The total price from Anne Bernard in Petaluma, CA was $2700.
Anyway, after 2 months I simply had to have it. I sold a vehicle in order to pay for it. Almost immediately, I began sleeping through the night. When I would get those periods during the day where I would have to crash, rather than sleep and wake up unrefreshed and groggy, I'd take a "nap" on the BEMER 3000 on level P3. After 20 minutes I was refreshed. I'm able to get so much more done.
I realize these things are expensive but it's an impressive attractive machine -- very well made (in Lichtenstein I think.) It comes with attachments and a high quality bag so you can easily transport it. It will last a lifetime and from my experience, no material item is worth more to me right now.
I had to go on a 2 day 11 hour drive and so I bought the car attachment. It plugs into the cigarette lighter. Usually after an hour or two of driving my rear end and lower back gets tired and achy. With the BEMER I had no such problem. And it really helped with my energy!
For general use I use the mat on setting 1 and 2 at night to fall asleep and in the morning I use 1 and P3. I vary my use of other settings during the day.
Also, over this miserable time of no sleep, depression and no energy, the dark field microscope Live Blood Analysis showed my blood to be anemic and full of micotoxins -- bacteria and parasites were thick in my blood. You could see developed rods of bacteria floating between a scant array of blood cells. It was sad and scary! After a month and half of using the BEMER 3000, the screen showed twice as many blood cells, all nicely formed and floating free of each other with almost no signs of bacteria and parasites. When the practitioner split the blood cells open and we looked at the screen again we could still see that micotoxins are inside my cells. My sense is that in time these too will gradually go away.
Another thing I've noticed: Once my energy started coming up, I began to seriously exercise again. The odd thing was that after so months of bed rest, with the BEMER, I felt very little muscle soreness after exercising. I run, do yoga and weight train -- these things have always made me a bit sore after being away from them for awhile. But this time, almost nothing! So that's been a nice side effect of the machine.
I don't know about the other machines you mentioned. But I can say that in my opinion, the BEMER 3000 works gradually to get a body, over time, to its best level of cellular health. It's no wonder cure (or maybe it is depending on how you look at it....) but for me I feel it's been an investment in my overall health for the future. I feel it will keep me on track into old age whether I'm sick or healthy.
And while it hasn't zapped away my bugs it's helped to make my body the strongest and best functioning it can be to best ward these bugs away -- or whatever health challenges the future might hold for me. It's been one of the most constructive things I've ever done. It's definitely grown on me.

I heard there is something better and for less money. If you want me to I will look though my notes on the subject if I can find them.
I tried a Beemer but was given really bad instructions by a nurse who has Lyme disease of all people. I stayed on it way to long and I felt worse the next day and the day after that. I was totally wiped out and fried feeling.
It is important to start off slow and do not press P4 right away and stick to short 8 minute sessions when you are first using one. Drink lots of water so that you are hydrated.
The person I know who was renting one claimed it improved their energy level. I felt it did the opposite for me but I was on it for way too long for my first session and was instructed by the person to keep pressing P4 over and over again - a big mistake.
Maybe if I had been given correct instructions I would have liked it more. Instead I was on the thing for 2 hours straight on P4 the highest setting.
It dehydrated me even though I was drinking water while on it.
It was yet another big lesson for me in following my own intuition. I tried to get up and end my session earlier but was told by the nurse to get back on it.
Is it only sold by multi-level marketing?
I was also told by someone at a party they would lend me a beemer for a week if I recorded how it was helping me. This was after I expressed very little interest in using one in the first place and told them about my first nightmarish experience using one. Next thing I know they were trying to rent me one for the week after the first free week.
Next time a beemer sales person comes near me I am going to run for the door.
