Yeah, it seems like something you'd see on an infomercial. I was just throwing it out there to see if anybody had heard anything about it.

Well, I do remember Dr. Goadsby talking about a similar device, hand held, external, that was being designed as a possible non-invasive alternative to DBS and the like. It is the comment stating they are not sure how it works that makes me believe this is not it. I would surmise the device Goadsby was talking about would be rather precise, while this seems to just willy nilly shotgun some juice into your neck... but maybe that is as good as it gets for an external device.

"It costs £250 for a device with 150 treatments"
Whether it works or not, the price is a rip-off. I'm an electrical engineer. I can make one of these for about $20, plus another $5 for a battery charger (instead of that 150 limit). |

Pete, I've been meaning to ask you this. I recently had a similar experience with a group of neuros. They were surprised and medically offended to hear of my O2 therapy and it's effectiveness. They talks about the harm O2 causes, they compared it to a barometric tank, and overall seemed to want to steer me away. Here's my question: one of them said he studied the effects of O2 on pilots and submariners. I know these are different but aren't there similar studies on pilots exhonerating O2 use? Just curious. lance |
