I've wasted money on similar products. Just my opinion but it looks to be yet another overpriced vibration massage device.
Advertising makes a product so appealing, especially when you have a condition that keeps you in chronic pain with little relief. Here are some references that may help you with evaluation of a new or existing neuropathy "cure":

Hi John,
Unfortunately and sadly enough, we live in a world where comapnies pop up everywhere and make products for money, just a fast buck. As with anything, especially us with neuropathy, we need to be highly vigilant and not fall for scams left and right. While such products, in my opinion, might offer some relief, if any, to peple without medical conditions, I have big doubt they will do anything for people with conditions. I personally haven't heard or read anything about it, and there are millions of other similar products out there. I will never pay a penny on unresearched anything. I feel we all need to dig deep into medical research and see if any mentions products with some effectiveness on conditions in general. Another possible suggestion is to ask your neurologist if you have one.
Best of luck and take care,
gus
