Steve,

Thank you for the reference, however, I'm aware of their web site and did just now read what they said about the device and have read other things there earlier.

When I first encountered the site, it was very obvious to me that the owner of the site is heavily prejudiced in favor of Western medicine. That alone is reason for me to discard much of what he says, since it's obvious he doesn't have an open enough mind to even consider something new.

Western medicine has it's place, but so does the Eastern tradition. And, there are many scientific things that are now commonly accepted, but in the beginning were treated as ridiculous.

In fact, accupuncture is now entering the mainstream of medicine and many insurance companies are paying for accupuncture treatments. Yet in earlier times it was looked upon by Western medicine as quarkery.

As much as we know scientifically, there is so much more we still don't know and who knows what discoveries tomorrow will bring. Throughout history, those who have made the greatest scientific discoveries often did so because they kept an open mind and could think "outside the box".

So, I will continue to keep an open mind since it works for me and allows my life to be filled with the wonder and passion of constant learning.
