Reply to: At 07:56 PM 09/21/1999 -0700, Robert A. Fink, M. D. What I presented I clearly stated was from the advertisement in the newspaper. Advertisements are not known to be replete with factual information, they draw the eye so the reader who has a problem will be interested and contact them for more information. Perhaps you may be more experienced with this than: Yehuda Fishfeld, M.D., P.A., Orthopaedic Surgeon, Board Certified Orthopaedic and Arthrosopic Surgeon Diplomate and Albrin Morariu, M.D., Diplomate in Neurology (my father's neurologist), Florida Neurologic Center who are 2 of the doctors who have this system in their offices. When I received the packet of information, I, too, was skeptical since it was a medical solution and I showed it to 2 radiologists who said it was definitely worth looking in to. Then my friend's Chiropractor read the information, called the centres and was strongly in favor of this modality before and after it was performed. The 2 people I know who have gone through this are very pleased with their experience. If I have a problem that I have not been able to solve yet and it really bugs me I keep looking for solutions until I have solved it, no matter how odd it seems --- and I've found some pretty weird solutions. And, people with problems, especially pain problems are often so desperate for help they will try anything and get taken. So I try to find out everything I can and investigate things as thoroughly as possible. Occasionally I have not succeeded but my successes far outnumber my failures. I think that's a big part of what life is all about. This is a very interesting system. Medicare paid for my father's treatments and his pain is gone. - Marilyn - Marilyn Gang [log in to unmask] >Marilyn Gang wrote: > >> The ISIS ad in the Toronto paper headlines: >> DISC HERNIATION >> DISC DEGENERATION >> FACET SYNDROME >> "Recent advances in medicine have produced technology capable of repairing >> damage to the discs. >> 9 out of 10 patients in published clinical trials showed >> retractions of herniations and bulging, repair and healing of the >> damaged structures of the discs and reversal of degeneration and are >> free of pain and dysfunction.
