A friend gave me a little article out of some magazine only I don't know which one but here's what it says:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And here's another pain remedy - one that involves no drugs or supplements whatsoever. It costs practially nothing...it's very effective...and it works in just minutes. What is it? It's static electricity.

Yes, static electricity. Medical science has long recognized that the human body is pulsing with tiny electrical currents. And "normalizing" this flow of electricity promotes healing.

Dr. Milt Hammerly, of the Center for Global Medicine in Englewood, CO. has perfected the use of static electricity for aches and pains. Go to your local hardware store and get an ordinary painter's mitt...plus a one-foot section of PVC pipe about an inch thick. Create an electric charge by rubbing the pipe vigorously with the mitt for one minute. Then slowly sweep the pipe over the painful area.

Move in a head-to-toe direction, about a half inch away from your skin. After 3 or 4 pases, recharge the pipe by rubbing it again with the mitt. Keep repeating the process until the pain subsides.

Most people get relief within a few minutes, and the relief is usally quite dramatic. Try it - you'll be amazed"

This is a new one. Haven't tried it yet but have to admit I was intrigued. What's anyone think about this?

It certainly sounds plausible....if you thinkabout it TENS and InterStim is almost like a form of treatment involving electric current/pulses. And I've had EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation -- similar to TENS I'm guessing) at a chiropractor's office years ago. This sounds like it would be worth a shot and certainly not as invasive as InterStim and prolly cheaper than TENS or a Chiropracter.

I'd be curious to see how someone felt after doing, say, a months worth of this Static Electricity formula...
Thanks for the article Dianne! :)
