ReBuilder FAQ

How long will it be before I get results?

As with any treatment, results vary from individual to individual. We have clients who report immediate results and, again, there are some who have reported positive results after as much as five to seven months. Response to treatment is governed by many factors, such as whether or not the individual is dealing with multiple medical conditions in addition to numbers of and classes of prescription drugs they may be taking. It has been our experience, however, that individuals who are persistent in following their treatment regimen will ultimately gain an improvement in their condition.

What is the 7.83 Hz signal?

The 7.83 Hz signal, a twin electrical signal - one to stimulate the nerve cells and the other to trigger muscle cells simultaneously - is pulsed on and off at the frequency of 7.83 cycles per second. We have found that the body is particularly sensitive to this frequency. One postulation for this sensitivity is that the electrical potential between the earth's atmosphere and the earth’s surface is also 7.83 Hz. We have found that the body responds favorably to this setting. The 7.83 Hz setting may also promote a generalized sense of well-being, reduce pain levels elsewhere in the body, and lessen emotional pain as well. This ensures a very high level of user compliance not only because the user feels good physically during the massage-like treatment period but because he/she feels better emotionally afterward with a reduction in global pain for a period of 4 to 6 hours.

Do I have to use it every day indefinitely?

No. Once improvement has been attained, the frequency of use can gradually be reduced. Some clients have been able to sustain their improvement by using the ReBuilder only twice per week. Maintenance will vary by individual.

Are there side effects?

There are no negative side effects when using the ReBuilder according to the directions. However, we have had reports of sore or cramping calf muscles resulting from using it at too high a setting for a sustained period, much like exercising too much too quickly. We recommend using the ReBuilder initially at a low setting thereby allowing the feet and legs time to adjust to the stimulation.

On a rare occasion, an individual may experience headache or nausea. This infrequent reaction can happen as a result of an adrenalin rush for users who harbor a latent fear of electricity as a whole. That subconscious fear can produce adrenalin that, in turn, produces temporary headaches or nausea.

There are, however, positive side effects from using the unit. As a result of nerve stimulation, the brain releases endorphins which help relax muscles and reduce pain in other parts of the body. The ReBuilder also helps to increase mobility by building muscle mass, improving leg strength, and promoting better balance. In addition, many clients also report experiencing a better night’s rest and a reduction in the need for pain medication.

Can anyone use it?

Use of the ReBuilder is contraindicated for individuals with pacemakers or any other implanted electrical medical devices, for pregnant women, and for children under the age of eight. If any of the above situations apply, consult with a physician before using. We do not recommend placing the electrodes directly over an open wound or near a recent surgical site.

Can I use it with medications?

Yes, medication can be used; however, many users report that as they use the ReBuilder, they are actually able to reduce the amount of medication they take and, some are able to get off pain medication all together. (Do not attempt to adjust or omit your medication without consulting your physician.)

Is one side stronger than the other?

Though not true for all users, some individuals will experience a stronger pulse in one electrode than the other. When this is the case, we recommend switching electrodes half way through the session in order to gain maximum benefit from the treatment.
