Hello,

I appreciate your quick and thoughtful answer to my questions.

Now to tell you what I have experienced myself… I have Lymphedema of the lower extremities. I have had this condition since surgery for cancer in 1988. I have had to be on a Lympha-press machine for 6-8 hours everyday of my life for 20 years! It pumps the fluid/toxins out of my legs into my kidneys but not very effectively.

Now…. 12 short days of my WBV I have not had to use my pump at all. You HEARD correctly… NOT ONCE!

I have used it for an hour 2 times while watching football but did not have to…. I wanted to. It gives a massage of sorts and I figured it wouldn’t hurt me.

I started out the first day with 15 minutes two times that day. The swelling in my feet & legs went down quite a bit.

My digestion improved considerably and I felt like a million bucks! The 3rd or 4th day I did 20 minutes twice a day.

Now the machine I’m using has a programable feature which takes a break after 25 seconds then 35 and works like that up to 120 seconds then it stops. The time from start to finish on the total body workout feature is 7 minutes but that is counting the breaks. I do that 3 times or that program & 2 or 3 others that work the same way.  The actual time of the workout counting all breaks is about 30-40 minutes.

I do not just stand there on the machine. I vary the positions and do a work out of sorts. One foot on, then the other in a lunge position, hands on with feet off the machine while bending over or on my knees with arms on the machine… and many more.

I over did it one day and needed a nap. lol but other than that one time I have not had any problems or issues.

I sleep better at night. Have more energy all day long. I am happier. Have more time to live since I am not spending as much time on the Lympa-press machine. All in all I think it is the best thing I have ever done for me.

I noticed after about 1 week that my body is changing shape, or I should say getting a shape. lol

I noticed today that my jeans are getting baggy in the butt and legs. I got on the scale after 12 days of this amazing machine and I have lost 7 lbs.

I am going to take your advice and not do this more than twice per day but starting my day with the first 30 minutes (20 of vibration) and then another 10 minutes after dinner instead of a walk is what the plan is.

Feel free to pass my story on to others. If this thing continues to help me I will be screaming it from the highest mountain to every Lympedema patient in the world.

In addition to Lymphedema I am currently about 55 lbs overweight and ironically I am a 55 year old female.

I was 62 lbs overweight 12 days ago! I have a long way to go but I am having fun and it is working.

If you want I will keep you in the loop of my progress. Let me know.

Thanks for your answers,
Deb

Video testimonial of a lady who suffered from chronic fibromyalgia and found permanent relief through whole body vibration exercise using a Vibetronix Whole Body Vibration machine.

According to this testimony, Judi not only found a cure for her fibromyalgia, but also enjoyed many other benefits from this form of easy exercise including increased flexibility, endurance and the ability to keep pace with her active grandchildren.

A recent article in the online journal Canadian Chiropractor outlines vibration exercise therapy and discusses the methods for evaluating a vibration exercise machine.

Dr. Jaspar Sidhu D.C. has provided some insights into the world of whole body vibration from a wellness professional’s perspective.  According to Sidhu, “With its many benefits for the patient population, it’s no surprise that vibration exercise therapy is one of the fastest growing modalities in the chiropractic and physiotherapy profession.”

Sidhu’s article cites the following as some of benefits of whole body vibration exercise as:

• Faster strength gains through neurological adaption
• Shorter training times per session
• Patient populations that have been shown to benefit include those suffering from multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, spinal cord injury, osteoporosis, and Parkinson’s Disease, to name a few
