I am one of those fortunate souls whose body has always been relatively pain-free.
However, it disturbs me to see others in pain, especially when it's someone close to me,
which is the case with my girlfriend, Lyse.
Lyse is a wonderful person who is professionally dedicated to helping others overcome
physical and emotional pain. Ironically, she herself suffers from rheumatoid arthritis. Since the age of four she has lived
with this painful, crippling condition in her knees.
Instead of spending her time on the playground with other children, she was spending her
time in hospitals and doctor's offices. Lyse was treated by no less than twelve different
rheumatologists- all doing their best to alleviate a very difficult problem. She was given
just about every treatment available, including draining her knees of fluid, cortisone
injections, and gold dust. Many of these approaches helped her, but in a limited way and
often with nasty side effects, such as eczema.
For a number of years her arthritis went into
remission and she was able to earn a blue belt in karate and lead a normal life. Last
spring it hit again, and hit hard. Both knees became severely inflamed, swelling to nearly
twice their normal size. The pain was excruciating, especially in the morning or after a
long day of work. Sometimes the agony would be so intense that I would wake in the middle
of the night to the sounds of her sobbing. A vigorous leg massage would give some relief,
enough for her to be able to get back to sleep.
Often, when walking, she would have to hold my arm. Watching her walking on the street was
like seeing a crippled old woman. Frequently, she would suddenly double up with a stabbing
pain in her knees, a feeling that bones were breaking inside. So much for our Sunday
afternoon walks! Very depressing.
Lyse endured this for five months, and then I heard about a therapy device with the name: Bio Medici. A remarkable treatment technology called "Magnetic
Field Therapy". I learnt that this approach to reducing pain and alleviating symptoms
is widely used and respected. I decided to make an investment and buy a Bio Medici Magnetic Field Therapy device for Lyse.
From my point of view, the results were nothing short of miraculous. Within three days the
swelling and inflammation were down by 50% and the pain was reduced by about 90%. That was
six months ago. Since then, after sleeping with the device by her knees every night, the
swelling is almost gone and the pain has been eliminated. There are no more attacks of
stabbing pain when she walks and she has regained most of her flexibility. Soon she will
be starting aerobic classes and possibly even karate. My understanding of the science
behind Magnetic Field Therapy is limited. I'm just happy that it has worked so well in
Lyse's case.
