Hi again
I just answered your post, but then I was wondering whether you were saying that you tried THE REBUILDER or Dr Ho’s Circulation Promoter. (TENS therapy). My husband was in agony with peripheral neuropathy in his lower legs and feet and Dr Ho’s brought immediate relief. If that is the one you did not try it may be worth giving it a chance. All the best to you!
My husband tried the circulation promoter, and not the rebuilder. I’m sorry I was not clear in what I wrote. As mentioned before, the rebuilder is just another TENS machine at an outrageous price. All the best to you!
Hi all,
I used the rebuilder in a treatment facility and after 7 visits in combination with led lights my sharp pain and the tingling to my feet gone. My numbness still there but I had to stop the visits. I was looking to purchase the device but yes is extremely expensive and insurances not cover it.
I use the rebuilder as well. It was part of program my chiropractor offered. Twice a week I participated in rebuilder treatments along with 3 other types of treatment. At first, I thought it didn't help at all. After I completed the program, I noticed I didn't have as much pain in my feet and legs in bed. I don't find I have enough time to use it daily. I had many appointments and tests in the days post treatment to find I have the Dx. of Parkinson's in addition to neuropathy.
Welcome @lasurdo77, By how to reduce NP I'm assuming you mean how to get relief for or eliminate neuropathy. There really is no cure but there are many different treatments members have found helpful. You might want to take a look at the discussions available and the comments made by members on the topic. Here is a search results link of Connect - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=what+helps+neuropathy.
I have taken both but had neuropathy prior. I do believe the statins and metformin make it worse. It’s best to watch your diet to be safe. Have you checked to see what nutrients your body is deficient in? Also nutrients that do help neuropathy.
I tried it, and it didn't help. I now believe it is a scam. I think the only relief I felt was due to putting my feet in water (which is one way I used the Rebuilder.

3 ReactionsHas anyone tried the rebuilder? They say that it even used in hospitals for cancer patients.
It’s a tens unit. Only research on the product seems to be done by the company.

I agree with cwallen9 . It is no different than any low frequency tens unit. This unit sells for $1400.00 I had bought it and found no relief at all
