Question
Hi there,Thanks for the great site. I have been suffering from tonsil stones for years and have thought that a water irrigator device would be great. Then I find your site and discover that you have made one. That's great, but I am in Australia. From what I have read you can ship internationally. Could you please get back to me with a price for one throat irrigator and shipping? It would be most convenient for me to pay via Visa card if we can do that. Otherwise please let me know what you need.Looking forward to your response.Kind regards,Dennis Plink

Answer

Dear Dennis,

We appreciate your inquiry.  Click the links below to be directed to the following throat irrigators:

Original Throat Irrigator Tip with Tongue Cleaner

Hydro-Pulse

Breathe-Ease XL Nasal Wash System

Yes, we do ship internationally, however, to determine shipping expenses we would need more detailed information from you.

Do you happen to have a UPS or FedEx account?  This may be the most convenient shipping method.

For further transaction details, please call Kristy at 713-589-2444.  She is one of our customer service representatives and she'll be more than happy to go over the details with you.

Question
Is wearing these following abdominal surgery a standard "good Practice"? What are possible negative effects of not wearing them after abdominal surgery?

Answer

Dear Mr. Lambert:

Thank you for your inquiry.  Generally speaking, wearing some type of abdominal support is recommended in order to reduce the stress/ strain on the affected muscles as well as stitches.  Not wearing an abdominal support may result in prolonged healing and some bleeding. For additional information, please consult with your surgeon or physician.

Question
MSEC,I injured my SI joint a year ago causing SI dysfunction along with a wide area of chronic muscle pain. At the time of injury, I was on a high dose of pain pills for my TMJ pain. My lower back was in a lot of pain but the pain pills masked a lot of the pain. I went to the chiropractor with little results (he did not find the SI joint injury). I then went in for Alpha-Stim treatment and received an Alpha-Stim unit to use at home on a daily basis. I used it daily and got very little results from it. Three months ago I was taken off the pain pills. The pain became very chronic. I could not stand for more than 5 seconds, could not sit for more than 5 - 10 minutes, could not sleep through the night, could only lay on the opposite side of injured joint which applied painful pressure in my lower spine because of it, and lost ability to lift items. The pain was so chronic I could not do anything. The Alpha-Stim proved not to be successful in managing my pain but I continued to use it. A month later I had to rush into physical therapy because of the chronic pain, I was desperate. At physical therapy they discovered what the real problem was, that the SI joint had been injured. They immediately introduced me to a Tens unite. Immediately after "one time use" my pain was reduced. The physical therapist I see is a SI joint specialist. I am still not doing exercises at this time, just light pressure. He also uses cranial therapy on my lower back which has been successful a long with the tens unit. I have mentioned to him that the Tens unit alone has helped so much on my chronic pain and he agreed. I am continuing to get good results and the pain has been reduced about 75%. Can you explain to me why the tens unit has been so successful and the Alpha-Stim has proven to be so ineffective. I would greatly appreciate this explanation. Thank you so very much

Answer

We appreciate your inquiry.  For pain management, a TENS Unit is highly more effective than any Alpha-Stim unit available.  Alpha-Stim treatment is more about reducing stress and anxiety than treating pain.  However, if you're experiencing a lot of pain, no amount of stress or anxiety reduction is going to help you feel any better.  

Not only do TENS Units block pain signals to the brain, they activate the release of endorphins and encaphalins, the body's natural painkillers.  The effectiveness of TENS therapy has been clinically researched and tested for decades.  This is not the case with Alpha-Stim therapy.
