Regain and Maintain your Mobility and Independence
What is the ReBuilder?
The ReBuilder is a proven and doctor recommended home based therapy that repairs peripheral nerves, enhancing blood flow, re-educating the nerve paths and strengthening muscles that have weakened due to disuse muscle atrophy.
The ReBuilder is based on the fact that nerves are electrical in nature and respond to specific electrical stimulation that duplicates a healthy nerve signal.
The ReBuilder's healing impulses travels, from one foot, past the ankle, past the knee, up the leg, across the nerve roots of the lower back and then back down the opposite leg to the other foot. In this way, all the nerves of the feet, legs, and the lower back are treated.
The ReBuilder also stimulates the calf muscles to contract and relax, improving blood flow and strengthening the muscles.
The "silver socks & gloves "method. Healing signals delivered via silver laced conductive socks or gloves. Gloves not included.

The ReBuilder's signals can be delivered in three ways; 1) conductive garment gloves, 2) direct skin contact, and 3) conductive garment silver socks
Gentle, massaging pulses totally eliminate symptoms during the 30 minute treatment, and then greatly reduce the symptoms for hours afterward. Permanent benefits accumulate with continued use.
The ReBuilder is not to be confused with a common TENS device. The ReBuilder opens the nerve paths, while common TENS devices block the nerve paths.
Where is the ReBuilder used?
The ReBuilder is used in hospitals, clinics, doctors' offices, and cancer treatment centers.

Dearest Friends at ReBuilder Medical:
In 2002 I went through chemotherapy for B-cell lymphoma. Within the first year I started experiencing numbness in my feet.
The problem started in my big toes and over a period of months progressed to all of both my feet. I had been a mechanic for 30 years and feared I may have to quit working all together. The numbness grew progressively worse and was so severe I couldn't feel how my feet were positioned when climbing down a ladder- for instance. In 2006 I was introduced to the owner of Advanced Physical Therapy in St. George, Utah, Mr. Rick Johnson.
He had similar problems with neuropathy in his hands and used the ReBuilder daily. After my first session with the ReBuilder I couldn't believe the difference! With regular use I was able to keep working and thanks to ReBuider Medical I can enjoy a higher quality life today!
Sincerely:
Daniel F.

More than 70,000 people have had success with the ReBuilder.
"This is to inform you that I have used the ReBuilder for six weeks and it has definitely brought about improvement in the neuropathy in my feet. I have had pain and numbness in my feet for 16-18 years. I have had several tests recommended by my neurologist and the cause of my problem is still unknown. I have been taking gabapentin and it has helped with the tingling, but the ReBuilder has brought about movement in my toes again. I have not been able to use it for the last week due to surgery but both my toes and feet still feel better. I also have recommended your product to four other people. My neighbor has already ordered one after trying my unit out. Thanks for bringing me relief to the pain and numbness in my feet." Patrick S. 3/21/09
Emerging research confirms that neuropathy may be caused by anoxia, or lack of oxygen. This can be the result of poor blood circulation, impingement of sciatic nerve (piriformis entrapment syndrome) or its local blood supply, too much glucose in the blood (diabetic peripheral neuropathy) displacing oxygen, or toxic chemicals (chemotherapy, pesticides, cleaning solvents) creating excessive free radicals that negate available oxygen.
When the nerve cell is deprived of oxygen, it contracts, making itself smaller to conserve oxygen and this enlarges the gap (synaptic junction) between nerve cells. Nerve cells do not come into contact with one another. A nerve impulse must jump across this gap. When the gap gets too big, the electrical nerve impulse cannot make the transition across this gap, and nerve function is impaired.
When prescription pain killers such as Neurontin (Gabapentin), Cymbalta, Lyrica, amitriptyline, oxycodone, etc. are administered, they do nothing for the peripheral nerves in your legs and arms, but they do numb the nerve roots at the level of the spine. In this way, the dysfunctional peripheral nerve signals cannot reach the central nervous system (brain) thus these dysfunctional nerve signals are not perceived as pain. As with most medications, after a while the body accommodates to the current dosage, the dosage is periodically increased. This can reach a level whereby numbness in the extremities is experienced as well as fuzzy thinking and loss of proprioception (knowing where your feet are in time and space). These symptoms can mimic Alzhiemer's and compound your medical situation.
How does the ReBuilder work?
Although the exact methodology of how the system works is still being confirmed, we feel that the ReBuilder works by sending an amplified exact copy of a healthy nerve signal from one foot to the other. The ReBuilder may also reset the internal "set points" of the nerve cells. If the set point is too high, the nerves ignore most signals and the brain interprets the lack of information as tingling, pins and needles, or numbness. If the set point is set too low, then too many signals get through and they are perceived as pain or burning. If the set point fluctuates, then accumulated pent-up signals suddenly burst through resulting in sharp stabbing or shooting pains.
As the ReBuilder sends these restorative signals, the brain senses them and responds by releasing endorphins, internally generated pain relievers (with no side effects) and these endorphins travel throughout the body via the bloodstream reducing pain all over the body, relieving anxiety, and releasing tension so you can enjoy a full night's sleep without the need for sleep aids.

A note from the inventor and CEO :
Thank you for choosing to read our website. Choosing to read this far on our website tells me that you are willing to take in new information and make quality of life decisions for yourself. Up until today, you have made your choices with the best information available, but have not experienced much success. Today you have access to information that is still new to most physicians, and you can now make new choices based upon your own, personal evaluation and intuition.
By the time most people reach this site they are feeling frustrated, discounted and a bit discouraged. I felt that way when I searched for a solution to my dad's leg pain. It felt like we were getting "the bum's rush" when we visited the doctor. The visits were rushed and short, and all we were offered was the advice to "live with it. It's going to get worse over time. You'll likely wind up in a wheelchair." He was prescribed expensive prescription pain meds that caused his thinking to become fuzzy and made the tingling and numbness worse. Sleeping was becoming a problem. He began to avoid planning social events because he could not predict his balance and gait. He stayed at home all day, losing more and more of his precious mobility every day.
As a result of inventing the world's first infrared ear thermometer (Inventor Of The Year Award 1987), and inventing the silver based cure for Molluscum Contagiosum (a previously incurable childhood skin disease), I went to work on a solution for my Dad. The result of my research and development is the ReBuilder. My Dad is now 84, walks just fine, has no pain, and works every day in our company in the quality contol department.
Today the ReBuilder is the first line of defense for patients who are undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, as one of the side effects of chemo is peripheral neuropathy. Chemotherapy is a "necessary evil" to combat thier cancer, but the pain resulting from the neuropahy caused by these caustic chemicals was destroying thier quality of life. Now cancer centers all over the world are now prescibing the ReBuilder before the side effects present, so their patients have no neuropathy whatsoever.
The Cancer Treatment Centers of America just announced that 94% of their patients achieved excellent results: less pain, return of feeling in their feet, better balance, and better sleeping at night, and elimination of their pain meds.
Thousands of clinics all over the world are now using the ReBuilder to provide full restoration of nerve function for their patients. You, too can experience this effective therapy in the privacy and convenience of your own home.
