Advanced Emphysema Case

George, 65 years old has had emphysema for years. He really hasn't been out of his house for the last 4 years, and pretty much in bed for the last year. His doctors have done all they can for him.  His right lung was down to a just 7 to 8 percent of normal function. His doctors have not heard any noticeable air flow to the left lung for about 5 years. On Feb 14, 2002 Georges wife Lou administered his first AlphaSonic session, during which he experienced profound relaxation. In addition, he began to expel mucous quite easily. She continued sessions 2 to 3 times daily, observing his anxiety decrease comfort increase, and George enjoying his sessions. Within the first week, he found he could occasionally take a couple of satisfying breaths.

On March 11, I placed a follow up call to see how George was feeling. I was quite surprised when Lou enthusiastically replied, I'll let him tell you!George and I visited for the next 30 minutes, with George doing most of the talking. I'm great! I'm amazed at the amount of air now moving through my lungs, what a difference this machine has made. My nurse now hears air flow to the left lung and there are several times throughout the day I can take some full, satisfying breaths. It's much easier to expel mucous ... before this, the only way to break up the mucous in my lungs was to have the nurse pound on my back. My doctors are closely monitoring my progress and I'm optimistic about continued improvement. My purpose in sharing my case is the hope that one day the AlphaSonic will be widely used for humans so others who are not as advanced as I am can benefit earlier on. George K., CO


Fibromyalgia

"I began using the Alpha Sonic after many unsuccessful treatments of various types. Having Fibromyalgia for over 20 years, I could only pray that this would work. IT WORKED! I have had the most incredible 3 months. I am sitting on our property in Oregon, looking at piles and piles of pine that my husband and I (with the help of our nephew) cut and split. What an amazing transformation I have gone through. Thanks to AlphaSonic™ and God's leading." Nonie N., Chiloquin, Oregon

A Triathlete Attributes His Success to the AlphaSonic�

Daryl Clarke: Research Chemist
Western New York-Buffalo

AlphaSonic sound wave therapyIn addition to his full-time career as a Research Chemist, 32-year old Daryl Clarke devotes much of his free time to his passion, triathalons. The demands of training and competing in over 25 races a year are taxing on both his body and mind, and yet he consistently places in the top three in his age group in local and national races. In order to accomplish such success, he is ever mindful of his mental and physical health.

While he'd known about the technology for several years, it did not occur to Daryl that he should incorporate the AlphaSonic™ into his training regimen until a family member loaned him a machine.

His uncle raises and trains top dollar equine athletes and also happens to be a marathon runner. He uses his machine to help keep himself and his horses in tip-top, competitive edge health. Several years ago, after running a race that left him so sore he could hardly walk, Daryl took his uncle's advice and tried the AlphaSonic™, arbitrarily sweeping himself with the transducer, and then focusing it on his achy muscles. He figured he had nothing to lose. "I didn't know what I was doing. I was skeptical. But the next day, I was a different person" he says, reflecting on the experience. From that day forward, the AlphaSonic™ became an integral element of his training, and he attributes much of his success to its benefits. He says the AlphaSonic™ has helped him achieve peak performance, maintain his competitive edge, and remain injury free for several years.

Top athletes work hard to avoid injuries, but because they push their bodies to incredible limits they know that injuries are inevitable. Daryl's breakdown occurred in September of 2005, shortly after his 32nd birthday. He had been competing in long distance races every weekend, including Olympic distance triathlons and a half marathon. "My goal at that time was to do both a half ironman triathlon and a marathon by the end of 2005." Just two miles into a half-marathon, his right calf muscle popped. "It felt like my muscle literally tore away from the bone," he recalls vividly. Unable to even walk, he was forced to drop out of the race, a first in his athletic career. For most athletes, such an injury takes from 6 to 9 months to recover. His doctor advised him to stay off of the leg for about 8 weeks, and to employ the RICE therapy (rest, ice, compress and elevate). He was told it would take 3 to 4 months before he could run again, if at all. Daryl, however, had another idea.

He had already committed to a 10k at Disneyworld in Orlando; the trip and the race were already paid for. It was less than a month away, and he planned to be there in competitive form. He felt that accomplishing his goal would take a miracle. He went straight home and, in addition to following the doctor's orders, also used his AlphaSonic™ every night. Just five days after his calf muscle had torn, he was walking without pain and ten days later he was able to run slowly. He continued his therapies as well,—ever mindful not to re-injure the leg—gradually increasing the pace and the duration of his runs.

Early on October 9th of 2005, Daryl warmed up along with more than 950 other runners at the starting line at Disneyworld, not knowing if he would complete the race. Amazingly, Daryl crossed the finish line just 35 minutes and 45 seconds later, ranking 14th overall and 2nd in his age group. He had achieved his goal. "I went from being crippled to running a great race in less than a month!" His friends, family members and colleagues were amazed with his rehabilitation. Daryl himself was more convinced than ever that the AlphaSonic™ was instrumental in his recovery.

Today he is adamant that the AlphaSonic™ will remain his number one maintenance and therapy tool: "After using the AlphaSonic™, I feel stronger and have more endurance. I can train hard days more often with fewer recovery days between workouts. And if anything happened to my AlphaSonic™, I'd be on the phone buying another one."

Highly Controlled Study Determines Efficacy Of the AlphaSonic as a means of Acoustic Acupuncture.
Study by Ronald J. Riegel, DVM

The following images were taken from a controlled study conducted by Dr. Riegel, DVM to determine the efficacy of the AlphaSonic as a means of Acoustic Acupuncture. In this study, selected acupuncture points (acupoints) were chosen to reduce infammation in a very specific anatomical location. This location in simple terms was from below the knee to the top of the hoof on a horse.

Thermography scale in each image reflects blue as cold graduating to white (extremely hot). Note that this scale applies to all of the images on this page.

Alphasonic sound wave therapyInitial thermograph reveals increased thermal gradients throughout left leg. (The leg that is pictured on the right is the left leg.) This is a race horse actively training and racing. Thermal gradients are highly elevated and reflect excessive heat in all areas of the leg.









Alphasonic sound wave therapyThe AlphaSonic was applied to the specific acupoints for this study and this image was taken twelve hours post treatment. The thermal gradients fell so dramatically for this specific area that they were no longer detectable within the standard isotherm setting for the study. This race horse through the course of the study continued training and racing.








Alphasonic sound wave therapyThis is the same horse as in the prior 2 images. This horse has now received a total of 5 treatments over 5 days. During this time, this horse has trained and raced. The only therapeutic modality that was applied was the AlphaSonic. This thermographic image reflects a massive decrease in the overall area targeted during the study for reduction of inflammation.



What's interesting to note is that when an athlete is in training it is normal to have increased thermal gradients, yet in this highly controlled study the thermal gradients fell so dramatically they were no longer detectable for what the isotherm (measure) had been set to. This image was taken 48 hours after the last of five treatments, which reflects the long lasting antiinflammatory effects of the AlphaSonic.

Study Notes:

  • There was a 100% response in the sudy. This means all treated subjects had similar results in this study. In addition, blood chemistry analysis of AST and CPK (muscle specific diagnostic enzymes) overall were lowered, in spite of continued racing and training. What is interesting to note is that in spite of a very small anatomical area being targeted for this study the elevated blood chemisty levels were lowered and brought within normal limits.
  • All subjects in the study received no medication or other therapeutic modalities.

Conclusion:

In this study, the AlphaSonic has been definitely proven as a means of Acoustic Acupuncture to reduce elevated thermal gradients and further reduce elevated levels of the blood serums tested.

"I have yet to see any other therapy modality, that is as safe and effective as this technology in all my years of practice, school, or research."

These inaudible signals travel throughout the body with a rippling effect, penetrating deeply through cellular structure, moving stagnant fluids and activating cellular response.

The AlphaSonic time and time again has proven highly effective. Rapid pain reduction is achieved naturally through a decrease of inflammation, muscle spasm relief, increase of local circulation and a general state of relaxation. Often users report very fast results (sometimes in just ten minutes) that are long lasting.
