I recently found this article on the web and was wondering if anyone else has heard of it or tried it?\

www.health-reports.com/paralysis.html

We are most likely going to give it a try I just wanted to see if anyone else has tried it and what the outcome was.

Thanks

Save you money and your hope for something legitimate. I see it as a carefully crafted, well-written piece designed to play on your desire for a cure and to line their pockets at your expense.

That's a lot of money! $600/month for a minimum of 4-8 months before you see any result. You can bet their money back guarantee is a lot more complicated than it initially appears too.

Be careful!

I too am skeptical. But have that little voice in the back of my head ~ What if it works? Even a little bit of recovered function is better than nothing and totally worth the $500.00.

I am a horrible decision maker and will probably toss this idea back and forth in my head..plus do a ton more research on the company before I make a final decision.

But if we do decide to go ahead with it I will keep you guys posted on the progress.

I find it quite sad that there are people who can still be taken in by these cons.

In this day and age, when we are bombarded by similar offers all over the internet, to have someone actually find merit in one of these,,,,,boggles my mind.

Feel free to participate in any and all such schemes. After all,,, we do live in a capitalistic society... Far be it from me to try to take away someone else's means of livelihood. After all,,,, he only told you what he " believed" to be true. Didn't actually make any promises. So if someone wants to send him their money,,,, who am I to tell them not to????


The guy is just doing the bottled water industry one better. They already charge more for their product than the oil companies do for their's. Why shouldn't he make a few bucks, too??

P.T.Barnum coined a saying that fits here very well. It had to do with how often a certain segment of society is born.

There was another thread asking about the FDA and what it's value was,,,,,,, this might just give them an idea. Unfortunately, food suppliments aren't within their scope.

I wish you, who choose to try such things, luck,,,,,,after all, it is your nickel!!!!!

Jenn,

Sorry if we made you feel like an idiot, of course you're not, I think everyone understands that you are trying to do the best for your other half. 'Cures' are everywhere, they always cost a lot of money because there are always people willing to pay for them. I honestly believe that if there was a cure it would be plastered all over the news and available to everyone once it has been scientifically proved to work. However, never underestimate the placebo effect as that too has be scientifically proved.

Good luck!

If it was half as good as they say it would have been on the national news by now. When Charlie Gibson reports on it, I'll look into it.

Your heart is in the right place. That is precisely what they are counting on and preying on. You are not an idiot. You are a caring person trying to do the best for someone you care about. Keep doing that. But protect yourself.

If there was something out there that truly worked, there would be a dog-fight between competitors trying to market it.
