@jesfactsmon Hi again, Hank.....I did Calmare therapy at a suburb close to Deerfield, Illinois, in a lovely north suburban neighborhood. I cannot, for the life of me, think of the name of the suburb. The man who owns the clinic who also does the treatment, is Norm Black. He practices out of Spero Pain Clinic. Norm is on face book, and his clinic is also. I know that people stay at nearby hotels from all over the place, to get his Scrambler therapy. He is very devoted and truthful. I still talk to him occasionally. If you look up Spero Clinic, you will find him. Had I got even 3 weeks relief the second time, I would have done it again. Another thing, for what it is worth, I discovered Kratom in pill form, rather than chugging the vile, disgusting, leaf powder. Now I taste nothing. Tell your wife she really has to experiment with dosages and sellers of Kratom. The stuff works well, without the high of marijuana. I buy the Kratom pills at ethanaturals.com You might want to buy the smallest bag of pills that say they are for pain or discomfort, and try them. I actually take 8 of the little pills, which is equivalent to 2 and a half grams of Kratom. Within about 10 minutes, the pain is gone for a few hours. Just don't take it daily, cause it is addictive. I think your wife should try these. Nothing to lose, and if you buy the little bag, it costs next to nothing. Best of luck to you and your wife. Neuropathy is intensely painful. Horrid. Go check out the Spero clinic, and Norm Black. One devoted man. And, there is a giant bird cage when you first come into the clinic, with the most darling little chickadees inside. I loved to go there, just to see the birdies!!! Take care, Lori Renee
Thanks for all of this info Lori. Very interesting, about the clinic and the new insight into kratom, perhaps I can get Linda to try the pills. She may balk at the addictive aspect but we will discuss. What that gentleman in Riverwoods Illinois is doing, administering the scrambler therapy, is what had occurred to me when I first read about it, how if someone could come up with the $100K to purchase the unit and go through the training, they could have a built in career for as long as they wanted it. And how rewarding, to be able to actually help lots of folks with chronic pain. And if more people did that then perhaps the availability as well as the price of the therapy would improve and it would become more accessible to more people. By the way, I know that area; for 35 years my parents lived just 6-7 miles from there in Glencoe Ill. and I spent my high school years there. Perhaps someday we will go visit Mr. Black regarding the Calmare therapy. Thanks again Lori! -Hank
