Many months after a serious accident with my fast motor scooter I was sent to Niagara Rehab for treatment of my frozen shoulder and my almost not usable left hand. I had constantly pain and I did not like to take pain killers permanently because of the side effects which they may have.
So I was very pleased when I was introduces to the electro acupuncture to relieve my pain. I was pain free for about 8 hours after the treatment.
After a few treatments I decided to purchase two samples and to perform a marketing study for the Canadian and the European market in order to become a distributor. The timing was excellent because we were in the process of changing our worldwide sales program anyhow.
The decision was easy - we will offer this marvelous unit as a supplemental device to the established orthodox medicine. We also support also the advice from the manufacturer to always consult always your doctor before using it.
Our life expectancy has been dramatically increased by modern medicine and surgical techniques which can be performed today.
Some of the medication we use may be even based on research with tropical plants or poisons produced by animals.
I am also skeptical with magnetic fields - studies showed that it is not preferable to live directly under a power line, others even avoid to sleep close to electrical wiring and others spend money to be exposed to a magnetic field.
I can prove that I would not be alive any more without the modern health system. However, acupuncture and especially electro-acupuncture should become a general accepted part of it.
