THE REBUILDER for peripheral neuropathy

Posted by richardfrancine @richardfrancine, May 24, 2021

Has anyone tried this machine? If so, does it work? Or is it just another way of delivering TENS?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

Sorry this review is redundant of the review I posted below.

I bought a product called The Rebuilder for $1599.00 from a chiropractor / Integrative health business in Brookfield, WI. Unfortunately, I didn't experience any lasting benefits from using it. Essentially, The Rebuilder is just a low-frequency Tens unit that can be bought online or elsewhere for under $50.00. My advice is not to fall for the same mistake I did. Also, if you use the conductivity solution they provided you with the ReBuilder, try using only a 1/4 or less teaspoon of salt for better conductivity in the water bucket/container they supply you. I'm not a doctor, but after using an electrical meter, I found that this method increased conductivity by approximately 30%, saving a lot of money on their "special solution."

I am trying to find positive statements on the Rebuilder. I have not seen any medical research supporring it. Now on Mayo Interconnect I am seeing some patient statements. Several say its a SCAM. A few say it might help.

So there is no clear statement that it works! I am at an opt out point with a Chiro after paying $3800 for 9 of 18 treatment including adjustments for back pain. The deal is I pay another $3,800 now or as an alternative I negotiated a rate of $210 for office visits. [I have actually had only 5 visits and ownership of the Rebuilder and LZR UltraBright [Light therapy device] and a bunch of supplements. And after accounting for the equipment cost and 5 visits they say I owe them $152 ] Doesn't add up to what I originally agreed. However, I need to decide now whether I continue since I took a break over July 4th and am scheduled to start again on August 16, 2024.

Wow. I got taken for the same scam. Are you in Cary, NC? I found the equipment was making me worse!

Are you using JUST 1/4 t. salt, instead of their solution? OR reducing the solution?

I am curious. Is that Chiro in Round Rock, TX? It sounds like exactly what I am being offered.

And also Cary, NC!!

I purchased the Rebuilder Tens device along with the socks and gel and it did nothing for me. When the nerves are damaged it’s for good. Don’t waste your money.

The rebuilder is a scam, just like most of the fake advertisements. They prey off of the suffering. Be careful. I wish you all well. Jules

I am wandering the same thing. My neuropathy is peripheral too and I’m taking 900 Gabapentin. The limit.
I felt like mine was caused by all the Tramadol I took for back pain.

Its a scam. Do your research and you will realize this. Do not purchase I am now engaged with the physician who recommended it to get my money back.

Thank you all for commenting on this machine. Your comments help others.
I’ve been treated with neuropathy in my feet and back pain for 20 years. An opioid pill and gabapentin 900 3 times a day. It helps but starting to decrease. And voltaren cream.
I keep checking back here hoping to hear of something else that might help.
I’m 80. Thank you all for listening. LOL.

There is good science now using exosomes to repair nerves. Hoping we Neuropathy folks have some relief in sight in the next few years.
