PIEZO STIMULATORS
NEEDLESS QUARTZ CRYSTAL ACUPUNCTURE DEVICE
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.

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.
