Use of infra-red devices

[Barry T]

I’ve been using the Symbyx device for my head, and the hand held device for my gut for approx 20 weeks. Symbyx say that approx 12 weeks of use before any signs of improvement can be seen. At 6 weeks my sense of smell started to return, and my sleep became uninterrupted for the first time in about 2 years, (I have on average 5 nights sleep a week now) my other symptoms namely constipation and tremors on my left side have, up till now, not benefited me at all. As parkinson’s can ‘present’ itself in about 40 ways, not everyone will get the same result and Symbyx accept that only 70% of users will get some benefit from the equipment.

It is a big risk financially speaking, but for me, a risk I was prepared to take if I can slow down the process of this horrible disease. Finally, do some research and see if it is worth it for you. Good luck

I just bought the Symbyx helmet, and used it twice only. If you laydown & wear the helmet, there is a nail pushing the back of head, very uncomfortable. I will try to put a small pad next time. For the first month using it, should only use three times per week.

Thank you for your responses. I appreciate your input.

I have used the celluma pro and the biomat for about 2 years. There are benefits in general but I haven’t seen that either do enough for my PD symptoms to offset the price tag.

But I have used them for back pain relief which the celluma is great for i’ve experienced minimal relief for my dystonia in my hand. I use them because I have them. And I use them 2 to 3 times a week because they’re relaxing and

because I have them.

Thanks ckf. My husband frequently has back pain so it would be a benefit to him even if it only helps with tha.

How many have tried the infrared device

[mary parker]

I have purchased a Symbyx device and too early to tell if the helmet is helping. The hand held PD device has relieved TMJ, painful jaw while chewing. It also relieved shoulder pain. So far I am happy with it.

I use a panel from blue block light company

My sleep is tremendously improved if I use it nightly

I am saving up for the symbx helmet

Thanks Jean

I tried it for a month or so. No impact. I’ve since read and spoken with a couple of movement neurologists and they said there is no reliable research behind it, yet.

I bought a Red Rush360 unit recommended by Ari Whitten in his book “The Ultimate Guide to Red Light Therapy.” It has both red light and near-infrared lights at the wavelengths that seem to produce the best results. It has become one of the therapies I try to use regularly, as I do feel noticeably better when I do.

Thanks Edward

I have used the SYMBYX hand held for about four months. I also have and use Bemer PEMF therapy mat for one year. I have not noticed any improvement in any of my symptoms. The good news is that I have not seen any symptoms progressions.

I am not a medical person, but I am an engineer and at one point I offended my neurologist by telling him that the only difference between his profession and mine is the type of computers we work on. Mine are silicon-based, his are carbon-based. There is one other difference, though — I know how mine work, he hasn’t figured out how the carbon-based computers work. He didn’t like me much after that.

I don’t want to trigger a firestorm or make it hard on the moderators, so I’ll say no more. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, wisdom is knowing when to keep it to oneself.

To the moderators: This is a great forum. Keep it up and thanks.
