>I wonder whether or not the two stimulation devices [see links at end of >the source article about DBS in issue #2003-408] might be contraindicated >for DBS patients. The Health-Pax device is advertised as a "crainial" >stimulator.The advertisements were at the end of the following article: http://www.startribune.com/stories/535/4209307.html It's possible they were just opportunistic pop-up ads on my server: just in case they were, here are the URLs for both ads: Health Pax Brain-Tuner: http://www.toolsforhealing.com/products/TT_Products/Health_pax.htm T.E.N.S unit: http://www.backbenimble.com/new/pages/tensunit/index.htm I wonder why gadgets of this sort are not subject to FDA approval. The Health Pax ad has a disclaimer statement at the bottom. At least the T.E.N.S people have a "Click here for safety precautions" link and a "Product Note" that states... "it may not be used transcerebrally across the head." Pax Vobiscum...
