"Last Thursday I received the sample of the Salonpas that I had requested. Sat. I decided to see if it worked. I have OA, RA, and fibromyalgia. The RA in my feet is very painful. Most of the time I can't stand for my house shoes or anything else to touch my feet. Going somewhere is a chore. Even aching all over I could usually enjoy going out. Not now. Anyway I cut the sample strip into. I placed one strip on the top of each foot just above my toes and another strip on each foot just below my toes on the bottom of my feet. I could not at first believe it! Within 30 minutes my feet started to ease down, I wore the patches for the eight hour period. It was the first time in months that I had no foot pain. Now - where can I purchase these? They are great! Also, your reply to my request for the ample was the fastest I have ever received. Thank you." | Salonpas | |  | | |

Please contact me ASAP" | Salonpas | |  | | |
"I am writing in response to the wonderful results that I and my family have had using your products..... myself for at least 3 years.... I have recently found in our Eckerd's pharmacy... a patch called Salonpas-Hot. I did not see it on your order list. Is this a products that may be ordered.. Also is it possible to buy in quantity.... perhaps by the case? I would appreciate your answer ASAP as we are having a difficult time finding in our area."
And "You may gladly use my comments on your site.... I think that Salonpas has helped me through many a bad day with my arthritis, fibromyalgia-which my sister also has, and my 80 year old mother and her 83 year old best friend. They are behind the products 100%.
I will try the Walgreen's website....
Thank you for answering my inquiry so quickly."

During my treatment for migraine (see The Migraine Syndrome - A Lifetime Condemnation to Pain), other experiences happened (See An Embarrassing Situation) which helped form my views and interest in acupuncture and Alternative Medicine. Another of the most formidable experiences other than my migraine happened to me on the eve of a business trip I was taking to Hiroshima the next morning. I was taking the garbage out back. I slipped and fell on the concrete slab where the garbage cans were kept. I hopped inside amidst a string of vernacular expletives. Just the smallest amount of pressure on the knee and the pain shot up my leg causing me to crumble to the floor. My Japanese wife helped me up on the couch and propped my injured leg on the sofa arm. She cut away my pants leg as my knee had swollen to twice if not three times its natural size. When I saw my knee that size, I mumbled that I needed to call the boss to cancel my trip.
My wife had returned from the kitchen with a bowl of something and said "Hogwash! You will be fine for the trip. This will reduce the swelling in about 45 minutes." she said matter-of-factly as she spread the paste over my swollen extremity. ("Yeah, Right!" I replied silently.)
She was wrong! It took a little over an hour before my knee returned to its normal self and I could again walk on it without limping and grimacing.
When I last checked Comfrey was not yet approved by FDA for internal consumption but was for topical use only. This herb is unbelievable in its natural form as used in the above treatment. Forms of Comfrey available in this country that we have tested do not manifest these amazing qualities. Please if you have found other sources that provide Comfrey in this natural state, let us know. | Comfrey | |  | | |
During my treatment for migraine (see The Migraine Syndrome - A Lifetime Condemnation to Pain), other experiences happened which helped form my views and interest in acupuncture and Alternative Medicine. One of the most formidable experiences other than my migraine happened to my Japanese wife. She had been hanging curtains throughout the house. She stood 5 ft 3 inches and weighed 103 pounds. In the bedroom, she was standing on the dresser hanging the curtain when she lost her balance and fell, straddling the corner of the dresser. The injured area was swollen and bruised extensively. Since she was shy and did not want to go to the Military doctor, I took (carried as she could not walk) her to the acupuncturist off base. I carried her upstairs and laid her down on the acupuncturist's table. We turned her over onto her stomach and he placed three needles in a row down each side of her lower back. He then immediately instructed her to get up and "run" up and down the stairs. "Yeah Right!" My wife muttered some phrase in disbelief to which he replied, "Go ahead, it doesn't hurt now."
She very slowly sat up and gingerly placed one foot over the side of the table. Then the other, ever so slowly. After a brief instance, she stretched a foot down onto the Tatami matted floor. The other soon followed. She made her way over to the stairs and slowly placed one foot on the steps. The other soon followed. At first she moved slowly, cautiously. Soon she was walking up and down the steps at her regular pace. We both were at a loss for words. He of course, never doubted what he could accomplish. The swelling was treated separately with some salve (derived from the herb Comfrey). It took about a day to reverse the swelling.

Before I was born, my mother was working in a clinic in Canada as an x-ray technician. She felt confident that she was sufficiently protected against the harmful effects of radiation, by wearing the appropriate lead shielding, she was horribly mistaken. The exposure to radiation changed the course of her life... and mine. By age of six , I had already undergone four surgical operations. It was at the age of five that my glandular system completely broke down and stopped functioning. As a result my body was unable to produce the critical growth hormone to mature, I simply stopped growing. Even today at age 35, I could pass for a 22 year old. The doctors diagnosed me as having a growth hormone deficiency and a glandular shut down. The treatment for such a life threatening disease, was like a death sentence--if I forgot to take my medication I would die. It was quite a dramatic shock for me at that early age to handle psychologically—that I would have to take drugs for the rest of my life. Knowing this, I consciously decided to die. From then on, my life was filled with complex and difficult struggles both emotionally and physically. With regard to the deadly decision I had made at six years old, I deliberately stopped taking my medication several times and put my life on the line, both knowingly and unknowingly. As a small child, I could not participate in children's games and children could not relate to me because of my size and physical weakness. Due to the lack of hormones I had no reflexes to run or play. Many times I had to be pulled back from dangerous situations, because I simply was unable to gauge the speed of objects or people. In order to survive my youth I developed a strong mental determination and a very defensive attitude. That is when I began to use words as weapons against my peers and inevitably I developed an unreasoning EGO ... a huge one. I never really looked my age, so most people judged me or physically abused me (especially my peers). There are countless hurtful remarks directed at my size and height. Due to all the emotional strife, my love for self and others closed my heart and left me with very little compassion. | All through the years, my mother and I actively sought alternative avenues in the hopes that we could heal my body, but without much success. Every time we failed to heal my hormonal problem, despair would slowly fill my heart with an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. When I was 20, my mother moved to California. She continued her search, and finally she was lead to develop a technique using sound frequencies which have a beneficial effect on the different organs, glands, and systems of the body. At first I was not especially thrilled with the idea of being a guinea pig one more time, in fact I quite bluntly told her that I did not like the idea. However, when I visited her, I showed some interest in the work she was doing. We spent time experimenting with her voice analyzer software and experimented to determine certain frequencies that I lacked in my physical body. One evening, she asked me if it was okay to play some frequency tapes. When I told her it was OK -- little did I know what the outcome would be. Subwoofer were used to transmit the frequencies. The first impressions the sound frequencies tapes imprinted on me, was that of a gentle wave rolling down every inch of my body, bringing with every rise and every fall, a wealth of nurturing and soothing energies. I felt safer somehow. I was also much amaze to recognize the rapidity at which the recordings supported my daily activities. What happened in the following days was probably one of my mother's and my greatest hopes to ever come true. We were struck by a wave of miracles that went way beyond our wildest dreams. First, I started to cry and cry, and I mean really cry, then I started to realize how deeply I had hated myself, both physically and emotionally. I felt my heart open wide, wider that it had ever opened, even as I write these words today, tears come easily to my eyes. Soon after that, my glandular system began to work…I started to feel a greater sense of energy in my body, not to mention the adrenaline surge. After only a short time of listening to the sound frequencies... I stopped taking drugs altogether and I am now DRUG FREE!!! Most of my life I had difficulty sleeping at night, sometimes it would take me four to five hours just to fall asleep, mostly because I had a hard time breathing. After I began to use the sound frequency tapes my mother made, within weeks, I was able to sleep deeply and restfully. The thing I like most about sound therapy is that I do not need to take any drugs and it is easy and effortless to use the tapes/CDs. I assimilate the food, I eat much better, I am healthy, I have harmony in my relationships with others, I can deal with stress with much greater ease. I have harmony and peace in my life, which I thought I could never achieve. I sincerely believe that without the help of my mother's work, Sound Wave Energy tapes/CDs, I would not be alive today. Thanks mom, thank you a thousand times!!! I was once told that there is always a gift awaiting a lengthy challenging task. This gift beheld more Wonder than that of an entire world’s expectations, for the gift is neither success nor wealth, but glimpses into the eyes of the true self. -- Love & Light, Robert Out! | Sound Therapy | |  | | |

Just wanted to tell you, I've used these Salux for years now, there is absolutely no better exfoliating product!! A loofah doesn't even come close. Exfoliating the skin is very important, as we shed dead cells constantly. (they're everywhere, in your couch, mattress, ugh!) Especially when using self-(and safe!) tanning products. The results are much better if your skin is properly exfoliated. I first found these at a small grocery store while visiting my brother in Chicago. After just a few weeks, I sent him money to get all they had at that store. I give them out at Holidays, etc. They are just a wonderful thing!! I'm needing to get some more, my brother usually sends every year or so. That's how I came across you. I haven't been out to look for these Salux around here lately, but just 2 years ago, I couldn't find any. I may be getting back to you on that. Thanks for your time, just had to let you know I'm a long-time fan of the Salux Cloth!!! Miss K. When I asked: Mind if I put your comments on the site. We will only use Miss K on the site.
She replied: Absolutely, go for it!! More folks need to learn of these marvelous cloths!! Miss K. |
