QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
ABOUT USING THE PIEZO DEVICE.
Q. What
causes the electrical stimulation?
A. The massager operates on the piezo electric principle
in which a current of perhaps to a crystal stone. The flow
from the massager is about 6 millionths of an ampere at 18,000
volts for 12 millionths of a second. Such electricity is harmless
to the body.
Q. Can treatments
be given through a layer of clothing?
A. Yes, but the stimulation is less strong.
Applying the piezo device directly to the skin is better.
Q. For what
parts of the body is the Piezo device most effective?
A. It is most effective for disorders of joints such as
the knee, elbow or ankle.
Q. Is using
the piezo stimulator safe for pregnant women and people with pacemakers?
A. As a precaution, people with such conditions should
not use the piezo stimulator.
Q. When
you give a treatment to someone else and touch them on the shoulder
or another part of their body, you get strong electric shock,
Is this OK?
A. The voltage is safe, static electricity. If you
are edgy about getting a shock during a treatment with the piezo
device, you should avoid letting your free hand come in contact
with the other person.
Q. Does
using the piezo device have and side effects?
A. No, none. After a lengthy treatment, you may feel
weary or listless the next day. This is a sign that your body's
self-healing power is working to restore your original health.
It need not worry you as long as you do not engage in strenuous
exercise. Persons with sensitive skin may experience
(this is very rare) some reddening or a rash, but this will clear
up in two or three days.
Q. At some
points on my body I cannot feel the massager at all while at other
points I can feel it strongly. Does this mean that something
is wrong with my piezo?
A. No, nothing is wrong. The body's reaction varies,
depending on the point where the massager is applied. When
considerable treatment is needed, the first sensation may be dull
because of a blockage in the flow of energy. As the treatment
progresses and your health improves, you will feel the massager
more.
Q. I am
very sensitive to the electric spark created by the Piezo.
How can I experience the benefits without my body reacting so much.
A. For the rare individual who is very sensitive to the
electric charge of the piezo LT or the Piezo DX, we have the piezo
junior, which produces a much more mild charge, which will give
the same benefits. See below for picture.

Testimonials

I was very healthy and running every morning to train
for a marathon. One
day I felt mild pains in my knees and ankles. Eventually
the pain got so bad that I had to stop running... My sister...
told me... actually
makes pain disappear. I used it for five minutes each day
for a couple of months. Five
months later I started running, and will make the marathon.

Since my car accident five years ago, I have suffered a dull
pain in my knees every winter. I
went to see my doctor, who did not help me. I
happened to meet a friend who told me about an instrument
which looks like a flashlight. I
used it. My pain started to fade away immediately and
disappeared completely within a few months.

For about three years I had a perpetual headache and shoulder
pains. Then
I came across [the Piezo]... After I used it for only 10 minutes
a day for a week, my
pains went away completely. I
was amazed. Now I use the massager only when my shoulders
need it.
C.A., 32, secretary |
I do a lot of physical work such as carrying heavy materials
and painting walls. I
always felt pains in my arms. Sometimes I was so sore
that I could not raise
my arms above my shoulders. This was really annoying.
I... bought one and used it. Now
I can raise my arms all the way, and my shoulders are not
stiff either.

I went to India where I lost my voice because of the intense
heat and from eating
unfamiliar foods. After I returned home, my situation did
not seem to
improve despite my seeing doctors at different hospitals and
clinics. I
had an Oriental friend who was an acupuncturist.
I never trusted this kind
of therapy, but I decided to take a chance.
To my surprise, my friend
used a stimulator instead of needles. After
the first treatment, half my voice returned, and after three
treatments, 80 percent. Now
I have a normal voice again. I still cannot believe what my
friend did for me.

THE
SCIENCE
BEHIND THE PIEZO
Combining Modern Technology with Acupuncture Therapy...
The Piezo
works like Acupuncture - but without the needles! The Piezo
devices were studied by many Japanese scientists and physicians
who also studied bio-electricity
(the close relationship between the human body and electricity).
Faint but measurable amounts of electricity are produced by the
heart, the brain, even by individual cells, as well as by muscular
contraction.
Chinese acupuncture treatment is based on stimulating specific areas
of the body with needles to generate electric current for relieving
pain. The Piezo devices do the same thing without needles.
Simply place the broad tip of the Piezo LT or the Piezo DX on the
sensitive area and press a button (at the top) several times. With
each press, your nervous system is stimulated - as with acupuncture
- to help relieve aching muscles. No batteries or AC current is
needed. The Piezo devices use electric-pressure sparking (like
that used in electronic lighters) to create a low electronic pulse
that's painless, yet effective.
It stands to reason that stimulation by weak voltaic current is
most fundamental and effective for everyday life activity and Chinese
acupuncture treatment is based on this principle. Upon physical
stimulations like piercing with needles, bio-electrical charge can
be stimulated areas and electric current will be generated.
Using this method, various diseases like low back pain, numbness
and stiff shoulders could be cured. All those medical electronics
are based on the electric current principle.
One can
use the Piezo LT or the Piezo DX, or the Piezo Jr. for stiff
shoulders, neuralgia, headaches, stress, insomnia, joint-pain or
tennis elbow, as well as any other conditions of dis-ease of the
body.
The invention of the Piezo...
For nearly
15 years a Japanese Medical Doctor, Dr. Takeyoshi Yamaguchi,
studied the close relationship
between electricity and the human body as part of his interest
in combining ancient Oriental medical practices with modern Western
medical techniques. The result was the invention of the
Piezo.
Within three years of
the introduction of this Piezo in Japan, 8,000 units are sold
each month. Many users in Japan are chiropractors and medical
doctors.
According
to Dr. Takeyoshi Yamaguchi, electricity is produced throughout
the body from organs
such as the heart, the brain and each individual cell.
The body also generates voltaic
current by muscular contraction and neural stimulation.
Such current is utilized for
electrocardiogram and brain-wave tests. This
phenomenon is called bioelectricity. Bioelectricity is
so faint that you can hardly feel it. Nevertheless,
it plays a very important role in maintaining human life.
Chinese
Acupuncture treatment
is based on the principles that diseases are caused
by the wrong circulation of
energy, and the the stimulation of weak voltaic current
is fundamental and effective
for everyday life. It
is claimed that piercing with needles can generate such current
and cure pain in
the lower back, numbness, stiff shoulders, and other problems.
These two principles are the
mother & father of the Piezo needless acupuncture device.
The thirteen meridians within the human body...
Acupuncture meridians
are such that if they are in balance, and they are then triggered
- nothing happens. When they are out of balance, (either
too hyper or too sluggish), that triggering can then create a
change and balance that meridian's energy.
The purpose of the Piezo is to normalize the acupuncture meridians.
If the meridian energy flow is sluggish, the Piezo will be a catalyst
to speed it up, and if the energy flow in the meridian is too
hyper, the Piezo can slow it down. The goal is to have
the flow of 'energy' of each meridian in the body be in
a state of balance. When this is not the case, according to Chinese
Acupuncture theory, then their is "Dis-Ease" in the body.
For certain spots on the body,
chiropractors find that piezo massager is more effective
than regular massaging. Medical doctors use it to treat
stiff shoulders, tiredness, sleeping problems and what they call
"diseases with no name."
The Piezo Device is easy
to use and never causes any pain. All you have to do is
place the face of the instrument on an area to be treated and
press the push button on the opposite end 6 to 12 times for the
area. Each time you press, they say that your nervous system
is stimulated and the aches in your muscles are relieved.
