GENERAL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

To find answers to specific questions about individual disorders please follow this link.

Is it safe?

Yes, completely. The MAD-1 produces no harmful emissions or detrimental side effects.
The MAD-1 produces a very specific shape of electro-magnetic pulsed wave which is completely safe at the power level that it produces. The wave produced by the MAD-1 is only a tiny percentage of the recommended safe limits for the human body.
However, we do not recommend you use the MAD-1 if you are fitted with an electronic medical implant, such as a pacemaker, as there is a very slight chance that the MAD-1's emissions could interfere with such a device if it was placed in very close proximity to it.

Can I use it if I'm Pregnant?

We advise against the use of the MAD-1 during pregnancy. This is because the MAD-1 strongly stimulates acupuncture points and there are some acupuncture points on the body that can be used to induce labour.

How long do the batteries last?

The extremely energy efficient electronics that are used in the MAD-1 enable its batteries to last for an amazing 240 hours, that's 2 hours of treatment everyday for four months. The MAD-1 uses two tiny CR2025 lithium batteries that are inexpensive to buy and which can be replaced by your self or by a watch battery replacement company.

Is the MAD-1 waterproof?

No, the MAD-1 should not be immersed in water or exposed to extremely high humidity conditions.

Can I use the MAD-1 for treating other problems?

Yes. The MAD-1 is a complete replacement for traditional acupuncture treatment, and can therefore be used to treat any condition that you can treat with acupuncture. We currently provide treatment information for tendonitis, RLS, arthritis, and emotional and energy disorders. If you are not a professional acupuncturist and wish to use MAD-1s to treat other complaints, via acupuncture points, then we would suggest that you consult one of the many good books, that are now available, that cover treatment protocols for many common complaints. Several of these books are recommended in the MAD-1 handbook. Alternatively you may wish to consult a professional acupuncturist for advice.

Can I use The MAD-1 on kids?

From a Traditional Chinese medical point of view, children are just miniature adults and the same acupuncture treatment protocols apply. However, most children find it very difficult to express what is actually going on for them and it is vitally important to ascertain what is behind an emotional problem in a child. If, for example, a child is just anxious by nature, then showing them how to treat themselves with MAD-1 can be extremely effective and helpful for the child. If on the other hand the child is anxious because they are being bullied or are having unrealistic expectations piled on them, then trying to treat their anxiety in this manner would be totally inappropriate! In addition to ascertaining the cause, you should always let the child decide whether they want to use MAD-1's or not and also let them decide when they wish to remove them. If there is any doubt as to what is the cause of your child's emotional problem, then we would strongly recommend that you seek professional help.

Can the MAD-1 change my personality?

No, your basic personality comes from the blueprint of your own unique genes. However, many people report feeling like a different person after using the MAD-1, and this is often noticed by all the people around them. The MAD-1 helps you get the very best out of what you were given, by helping to keep you in a happy, balanced and stable state.

Does the MAD-1 work for everyone?

The simple answer to that is NO. Our latest statistics for its effectiveness, 3rd September 2008, based on feed back and returns from our customers is as follows:
Tendonitis 96%.
RLS 91%.
Anxiety 88%
Depression Bipolar 86%
Insomnia 85%
CFS/ME 82%
Anger 84%

What happens if I treat the wrong acupuncture point or treat a point for too long?

A lot of testing has been done with these devices, and during that testing the devices were deliberately put on inappropriate points. When this was done, most people (55%) said that they felt nothing at all in the way of side effects. The individuals who did report symptoms reported slight feelings of light-headedness or mild agitation, both of these symptoms went away within a few minutes of removing the devices. Similarly we have done extensive testing of over-treating individuals, where the devices were left switched on for up to 12 hours. The only symptoms reported were feelings of an 'excess of energy' and, in some cases, mild 'agitation'. All of these symptoms wore off within a few hours.

Do I have to change my diet to benefit from using these devices?

The short answer to that is no. However, the foods we eat do have a considerable effect on how all the systems of our body function. If you have had a serious condition for some time, particularly if it has left you very run down or with digestive problems then it can be extremely beneficial to use a food combining diet such as the ‘Hay System of Food Combining’. Adopting such a diet can dramatically reduce the recovery time for many emotional disorders.
Foods that we would recommend that you completely avoid are: Alcohol, caffeinated foods and beverages, chocolate, processes sugar and fruit juices and any form of carbonated drink.

Can I use the MAD-1 whilst taking prescribed medication?

The MAD-1 can be used with prescribed medications. It is worth mentioning that some medications can interfere with the effectiveness of the MAD-1 treatments. This is because MAD-1s work by directly effecting cellular communication in specific parts of the body. Drugs tend to effect the cellular communication throughout the body and hence some drugs can reduce the overall effectiveness of MAD-1 treatments. However, you should never stop a prescription medicine without consulting your doctor.

Repetitive strain and tendonitis.

How long does it normally take to completely cure a damaged tendon?

The time taken varies between individuals and is usually dependant on how long the tendon has been damaged for. Recent tendonitis normally heal completely within 3 to 4 weeks, where as long standing tendonitis or torn tendons can take several months to completely heal. However, we firmly believe that our devices provide the most rapid and effective treatment available for tendon injuries and our most recent statistics show that they are successful in over 96% of cases. This is why we can confidently sell them with a money back guarantee!

Why do your devices provide "the most effective treatment available for tendonitis"?

Firstly, the MAD-1 produces a very specific type of PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field). PEMF therapy has been proved beyond doubt, in numerous studies, including a recent 4 year study carried out by NASA, to substantial reduce the regeneration time of soft tissues such as tendons. We personally put more than five years of research into testing and refining the wave shape, frequency and power output of the MAD-1 units to make them the most effective PEMF therapy units available at any price. The MAD-1 has been made small enough so that it can be worn during almost any activity, yet still be powerful enough to reach even the deepest tendons. This makes the MAD-1 not only convenient to use, but able to provide sustained treatments over a long period of time, which provides the most effective and rapid healing times for tendons.
Secondly, the MAD-1 can be used as a genuine replacement for traditional acupuncture treatments. Traditional acupuncture can be a highly successfully form of treatment for many forms of tendonitis but has, till now, had obvious limitations as a form of "self help" treatment. The MAD-1 overcomes all the shortcoming of traditional acupuncture, such as pain, inconvenience and expense whilst allowing you to treat yours self where, when and as frequently as you require. The very focused and localized PEMF wave that the MAD-1 generates not only produces the same therapeutic effects as the insertion of acupuncture needles, but considerably improves upon the efficacy and consistency of treatment. By stimulating the appropriate acupuncture points the MAD-1 provides both a rapid and substantial reduction in pain and inflammation.

Anxiety, panic and phobias

How quickly will MAD-1s start to help me when treating anxiety?

For most people, the symptoms of anxiety start to abate within a few minutes of putting the MAD-1s on the appropriate acupuncture points on the body. However, just like traditional acupuncture, the effects are accumulative so you will need to treat your self on a regular basis to completely rid your self of excessive or inappropriate anxiety.

How effective is your product for treating anxiety?

MAD-1s excel at treating not just the symptoms of anxiety, but at addressing the underlying cause of it. They provide both rapid relief of symptoms and long-term preventative treatments.

Does the MAD-1 “cure” anxiety and Panic attacks permanently?

The simple answer to that is YES, for most people it completely cures them of it. However, a fuller explanation will hopefully shed more light on why this is the case. MAD-1 treatments work in two ways: Firstly, they treat the underlying imbalance in your system that causes you to experience anxiety, so reducing the feelings of anxiety. Secondly, because MAD-1s reduces the anxiety in the situations that used to trigger it, these situations gradually produce less and less of an anxious response in you. Eventually, you become completely desensitised to the stimuli that caused the anxiety, so that it no longer causes an anxious response in you at all.

Where are the devices worn when treating anxiety?

The devices are usually located on the wrist, chest and upper abdomen when treating anxiety. However, the exact location is dependant upon your own individual requirements and how to choose the appropriate points for YOU is covered in the MAD-1 handbook.
How many MAD-1s will I need to treat Panic/Anxiety attacks?
Individuals who suffer from full blown panic/anxiety attacks usually require a minimum of four devices to provide an effective treatment. If the anxiety is severe, frequent or is accompanied by other symptoms, such as shaking, nausea, indigestion, breathing problems, palpitations or insomnia then you will usually need to use four of the devices to provide an effective initial treatment.

How long will I need to keep using MAD-1s?

Although these devices excel at proving rapid relief from symptoms of anxiety, they have an accumulative effect, i.e. the effects build up gradually with regular use. This means that although you may need to initially treat yourself, with three or four devices on a daily basis, you will gradually require less frequent treatments and with less devices. Eventually, most people find that they can stop treating themselves altogether, but the time taken for this to occur varies with each individual.

Can I use the MAD-1 to treat a phobia?

Yes, the MAD-1 is excellent for helping people to stop having anxiety responses to certain situations. However, although some people find that they have been able to confront their phobias almost immediately with the use of these devices, most people with severe phobias find that it is a gradual process, as the MAD-1 treatments gradually reduce the anxiety response to the situation. When treating any situation based anxiety the devices should be worn during the event.

How do I use the devices to treat anxiety?

The Handbook guides you through the simple process of finding the most suitable points on the body, to treat your specific ‘symptom pattern’ of anxiety. The MAD-1 are then attached to these points via the hypoallergenic pads or, if the point is on the wrist, with the custom made strap.
The most commonly used points for treating anxiety are on the wrist and on the middle of the chest. The number of devices required is dependant upon the severity and frequency of the symptoms. Cases of mild anxiety can often be treated using just two MAD-1 on wrist or chest points, or a combination of both. People suffering from more severe anxiety, usually require the use of more devices to provide effective treatments. These individuals frequently require a MAD-1 to be worn on each wrist, with additional devices attached, most commonly, to the centre of the chest or abdomen if required. The chest and abdominal points are usually used if there are symptoms of indigestion, nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, breathing problems, or if you experience other unpleasant sensations in these areas of the body. However, choosing the exact area of the body to treat is dependant upon your individual symptom pattern.
