Hello, Ray!
Thank you for your good wishes! I'm blessed to have a practitioner (my PT) who can program the unit to address my particular needs. This technical stuff is way beyond my wheelhouse.
It is not surprising that there will always be some sort of long-term issue with your immune system. It's amazing how interconnected our body systems are. After my hip replacement due to a break from a fall, I found out I'd have to take Amoxicillin every time I visited the dentist - forever!- even if just for a cleaning. Seems the bacteria in the mouth can trigger an infection in the post-surgical hip, if it enters the blood stream and travels to that area. Who knew?? Grrrr!
Anyway, one thing I didn't share in my answer to BettyG, was another main factor in the decision to invest in this, versus the L39 patch or a deep-tissue red light. The class 1V red light is waaayyy too expensive ($50,000.), and the patches would be an investment that is gone when I die. But the BEMER is something that I can pass on to whichever of my kids wants it, or maybe they could share it if they so decide. It just seemed a more thoughtful option. And who can't use an enhanced delivery of oxygen and nutrients through the small veins and capillaries that have become incapacitated as our bodies age?
Since you had expressed a curiosity, I thought I'd add these thoughts.
Have a super Sunday and stay safe and well ~

Hi, Barb
"It's amazing how interconnected our body systems are."
Ain't that the truth! Last week, I went to see my dermatologist for the first time since several months before this sepsis business. As I'm a baldy, and Denver's mile-high sun can be pretty merciless, I've been doing six-month follow-ups with my dermatologist for several years. She knows me as "Outhouse Ray" because those early follow-ups were all to treat how regularly I bashed the top of my bald head entering and exiting our cabin's outhouse. Last week, I showed her the top of my head but assured her, "No outhouses this time!" Her reply reminded me of the body's interconnectedness: "You've had sepsis, Ray. Signs of a sepsis infection can erupt in the most unlikely places –– like the top of a person's head in the form of little 'scabies,' just like the scabies you got when you'd bang your head on the outhouse door."
