I started searching aprx 1997........i did go on line a while back, and asked........is shockwave therapy similar to ultrasound therapy......the reply i got seemed to be near the same. DMSO i tried back around 1999..........eeeeewwww......the smell was horrible. However MSM was made where they take out the thing ??? that gives it that horrible smell....................I have a lot of "toys", but, the one I really really want is to learn how to use a microcurrent unit. They are similar, again , to a Tens unit, but ..........a very few Dr's, actually use it for macular degeneration, and many other things. My newest goal, is to find a Naturopath Dr., who uses one, then see if she will train me, to use one at home. My one Dr., trained me to use an ozone machine at home for minor things. so hopefully one will train me to use the microcurrent. First I have to find a dr., near me, who uses one. It would be done on a regular Dr office visit, and basically they would only need to give me a few pointers on where and how long to attach it to different body parts. if you want, wait aprx 12 days, or so, and e mail me again, to ask how my ultrasound therapy is working on my feet. If I am getting good results, i pass on the info to you.............and if You find something that works for you , let me know. We can sort of be guinea pigs,,,,,,,,,,,,,for each other 🙂
