Hello @richardfrancine, Welcome to Connect, an online community where patients and caregivers share their experiences, find support and exchange information with others. I used a Zopec DT-1200 tens unit years ago with not much success or help. I have no experience with the Rebuilder but I'm really skeptical of all the claims. It seems similar to what a lot of the neuropathy clinics offer for treatments that have you continually coming back for the next treatment. Hoping others can share their experience.

Have you done any research on the Rebuilder?

Hi John

Thank you very much for your feedback. No, I have not really done research on The Rebuilder, except to read the « benefits » the inventor ascribes to it. Today, out of desperation because he was in agony,(actually crying!) my husband accepted (he wouldn’t try it before) to finally give a try to Dr Ho’s circulation promoter that he had bought months ago. This is TENS therapy. Both his feet were on the foot pads and the relief was just about immediate. He had been writhing in pain all day - and I havn’t heard him complain once since. He did it again before going to bed. Hopefully, it will carry him through the night.
Thanks for writing

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.

Had to pay 8,840 upfront. Was able to get refund for treatment, but must pay for equipment sent home with me. Beware

I tried the Rebuilder device many years ago. I found it completely ineffective and the supplies to be overpriced. I think you should be skeptical of the claims. It simply didn't work for me anymore than electric stimulation at the podiatrist's office. That was also a complete failure. I do not understand how these treatments get approval. You are correct that it's just an over marketed TENS device.
