Lifewave Energy Patches Trial

We at iStadia Towers are very interested in healthy ways of getting better at what we (and you of course) do, so it was with great interest that we started looking at Lifewave after Gordon Compson TheEnergyGuy got in touch. After thinking of ways of getting a pro athlete to try them, Gordon suggested I try them on the basis that if they didn't work for me then why would we want to sell them - fair enough I thought.

Do I need more energy? Well of course I work incredibly hard here at iStadia,  promote my other business which focuses on psychometrics, play a couple of rounds of golf every week carrying my own 20lb (10kg) bag, do a bit of ballroom dancing as well as looking after an allotment. Added to this I am getting on a bit, well OK I'm an old git so yes I would love to have more energy.

Today is the first day so we'll see. I'll blog about this so you can follow my progress. They call these things software for the human body and the testimonials are very good - see Gordon's profile. David Beckham has tried them though it would be good to know what he thought of them but if they are good enough for him and he's getting on a bit too, then they are good enough for me. Who else has tried them that you might have heard of - Brendon Ayanbadejo (NFL pro football player) who says he always feels physically and mentally ready when he has them on. Others, Richard W. Quick, US olympic coach (his athletes used them), Nick Job, European Seniors Tour golf pro (I've heard of him as he's another old git), Cyle Sage, US triathltete rated as the world's fastest triathlete swimmer . I'll mention some others along with what they think of them over the next few days.

Now getting back to these patches. There is no transference of anything into the body which is good. They work by stimulating acupuncture points on the body. Mine are attached just below the collar bone on each side of my body, next to my upper arm at the top of the chest. I've had them on for a couple of hours and nothing dramatic has happened yet though I've only been sat at my desk bashing away at my keyboard for most of this time. However I should be playing golf this evening and after a day's work, I usually feel very tired after 14/15 holes so that should be a first real test.

The plan is to wear them every day or every other day for a couple of weeks or a month - I'll check up on this just to make sure I get this right and I'm getting the most out of them.

If anyone else has tried them, it would be great if you could add a comment and let me know what you thought of them.

Is there any empirical evidence for the efficacy of these patches? Testimonials are great for marketing, and I know you'll be honest in your appraisal, but my main concern would be over a placebo effect...

That's crossed my mind too. IMHO placebo's can in some cases work effectively; it's only when you pay for the benefit that you need to examine much more closely - as in this case. Perhaps there is some available research available or perhaps Lifewave could sponsor some level of on-going research? I'll look into this.

I would be happy to pass on detials to a physiologist if Gordon would like this to be tested. I am very interested to hear how this helps with your ballroom dancing, I never knew that was a passion of yours!

The ingredient of the patch is that its Sugar, Water, Amino Acids and Crystal's. The Cells of our body, and the Crystal´s in the patch, communicate on the same frequency. The crystals are activated by the other ingredients, that make the Crystal ´s send the wave of the same frequency as the body needs to work right. So now we have a cellular communication, just like a cell phone communicates with the tower. The Tower (The body) in this case, gets signal from the cellphone (Patch) and there is communication. Now the tower´s absorption of signals, may vary, which does that the load of power in the patch, may empty the patches lifetime some what. Now just by reading Andreas post here, where she changed the patch every 5-6 hours. Now we say that the patch is supposed to last 12 hours. Well yes and no. It all has to do with how good of a signal the patch is getting. Same with cell phones, the lower the signal from tower, the more power the phone uses, and your out of battery before you know it.

Back to the crystal and why do they not work after a few hours of usage. The more your body needs, is like the greater the damage, the more the body needs in form for healing, or relief of any pain. If the pain is 10, the patch may last you shorter time. If the pain is 3, the patch may last you more than the 12 hours given. I got this explanation from Ice, one of our Icelantic members, so please make sure that this may not be the exact technical true, but sure is a good way to understand. We all know how batteries last, and after hearing this explanation, it made a lot of sense to me.

Certainly all that you say is true but I break it down a bit further and say that since the patch is made up of the chemicals you mentioned, they are organic by nature and thus have a finite life span. Before we stopped using the term "nanotechnology" in connection with the patches in favor of acupressure or acupuncture I used to tell people exactly what the patches are and although they are still this it is much better to associate them with acupressure. What the patches are can be said to be : "Organic liquid crystal semi-conducting nano antennas". Copied off our members Info Site " Ice Life" and posted by Ken after reading Ice'e remark. Ice Life was setup in the Spring of 2009 where anyone can go and learn from what we are daily about this new science in energy mediicine.
