Its seems even in the members area they do not reference papers that have been published in noteworthy (ie of a reasonable impact factor) scientific journals, which suggests the studies you are referring too were not published. I think I have read of the Atlanta Sleep Center study in the past as being only a pilot study. I also have an open mind but nothing replaces the scientific process, so its little wonder there is so much skepticism. I hope this will be remedied at some point soon. - Simon Sun, 11 Oct 2009 00:31:23 +0100 http://www.ei-resource.org/myblog/What-s-the-fuss-about-LifeWave-patches-.html#comment-957 Hi Simon - a very good question. The information available in the LifeWave members area is scant. Most of the controlled trials on LifeWave patches that have been published have used the Energy Enhancer patches. This is the material Lifewave provide regarding the Silent Nights patches in their members area: "From June 13- July 1, 2005, a study of the LifeWave sleep patch called Silent Nights was performed at the Atlanta Sleep Center. The study involved subjects who were studied three nights, each one week apart. The first night was the control night, when the subjects wore no patches. The subjects were then given Silent Nights patches to wear every night on their right temple leading up to and during the two additional studies of the subjects. Nocturnal polysomnography (eight hours of comprehensive physiological data during sleep) was conducted. The parameters of a standard polysomnography evaluation are measurements of breathing, heart activity, oxygen levels by oximetry data and sleep state. The sleep study results carried out in Atlanta showed that the Silent Nights patch was effective in promoting sleep efficiency in all subjects." "On December 13, 2005, Dr. Dean Clark reported his conclusions of Infrared Imaging of the Silent Nights patch. This study was written up for publication. Initial studies of the Silent Nights Patch confirm the findings observed with the energy patches resulting in the nervous system response by localized cooling of a hyperthermic region. An initial Infrared Imaging scan was done prior to placement of a Silent Nights patch. The Silent Nights patch was then applied to the temple region. Another Infrared Imaging scan was repeated in five minutes, the results showed significant thermal changes to the localized region and systemic changes in temperature were also apparent." I'll let you make your own mind up about that. I am a big advocate of the scientific process but in the absence of sufficient high quality data I prefer to try things for myself than write them off - assuming safety has been addressed of course. - Maff Sun, 04 Oct 2009 16:11:56 +0100 http://www.ei-resource.org/myblog/What-s-the-fuss-about-LifeWave-patches-.html#comment-918 Have any scientific studies been performed using the Silent Nights patches? If so, what are the references for the published papers? - Simon Wed, 16 Sep 2009 23:05:14 +0100 http://www.ei-resource.org/myblog/What-s-the-fuss-about-LifeWave-patches-.html#comment-685 I am also a Lifewave member, and I know they are working, I am using y-age and my husband uses Icewave when he needs it, he has a bad back. Cleon can you send me stories about the MS patient, how Y-age worked for her and the time it took to get out of the wheelchair.

I cant believe what these patches are doing for people. Very clever man who invented these patches. Anyone who is sick (including Autism, Crohns etc, etc) should give them a go. I have personally spoken to two women who are out of their wheelchairs after years of MS and FibroM - they have their lives back - and they are still using the YAGE (Carnisine and Glutathione) The Glutathione patch manages to increase our own antioxidant to 300% - so why wouldnt it work?? Especially together with the Carnisine.., search both of these on the net and you will be amazed what health problems occure with deficiencies of Carnisine & Gutathione. I have proved that these patches work - ALL of them. Want to lose weight - use them - they work. Do I want your business? NO - cleon Sun, 18 Jan 2009 01:58:04 +0100 http://www.ei-resource.org/myblog/What-s-the-fuss-about-LifeWave-patches-.html#comment-188 I too have been to various meetings about this product. My brother has tennis elbow from his type of work dealing with sheetmetal fabrications. Alot of lifting involved. Anyways the presenter used my brother as a demo to others. They placed the patches in a fashion on his inner elbow area. The outer patch to which can be placed at a circumference 12 or 3 or 6 or 9 'o'clock, was not placed on a pressure point or Accupuncture point. He felt a little relief. I know about pressure points so I corrected the presenter and placed the patch on the closest pressure point. My brothers pain was gone almost instantly. And no Im not registered with the business. IM sceptical until proven otherwise... - acai4life Thu, 02 Oct 2008 09:11:57 +0100 http://www.ei-resource.org/myblog/What-s-the-fuss-about-LifeWave-patches-.html#comment-185 In the spirit of being open and honest with visitors to The Environmental Illness Resource I felt it was only right to add here that I have now opened a distributor account with Lifewave. The reason I did this is mainly because I wish to use Lifewave products on a continuing basis and opening a distributor account (at a cost of $25) allows me to save approximately a third off every order making Lifewave patches much more affordable! Due to the way the Lifewave company operates anybody wishing to purchase any of the products is required to supply a distributor ID from the person/company who referred them. I have therefore added my distributor ID:- 659618 to pages on this site which discuss these products (or you can go directly to the EIR LifeWave homepage - [URL]www.lifewave.com/ei-resource[/URL]) - Maff Fri, 26 Sep 2008 17:49:31 +0100 http://www.ei-resource.org/myblog/What-s-the-fuss-about-LifeWave-patches-.html#comment-27 I have not read any "LifeWave playbook" and my comments were from my heart and 18 years of experience suffering from chronic illness. I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome/M.E on my 12th birthday. Edhuk has clearly already made his mind up and I imagine nothing I say is likely to change that. For anybody out there with a more open mind who is willing to try something before passing judgement, I can only repeat that I too was initially skeptical but have been very impressed with how LifeWave patches made me feel. The only reason I don't use more of them on a more regular basis is that I can't afford to! (My only gripe with LifeWave) For those who have more money than I do I would recommend you give them a try. - Matthew Hogg Fri, 11 Jan 2008 19:20:49 +0100 http://www.ei-resource.org/myblog/What-s-the-fuss-about-LifeWave-patches-.html#comment-26 "I have found that cultivating an open mind has opened up a host of opportunities that would otherwise have passed me by." Another classic line from the LifeWave playbook. Nothing new here. - edhuk Sun, 06 Jan 2008 03:31:24 +0100 http://www.ei-resource.org/myblog/What-s-the-fuss-about-LifeWave-patches-.html#comment-21 Or perhaps a genuine account of my personal experience with Lifewave patches? For the record I am NOT a member of the 'LifeWave team'. The only account I have with LifeWave is as a customer. In the case of people who DO join the sales team....is it so hard to believe that people would want to promote a product they have found helpful themselves? I have found that cultivating an open mind has opened up a host of opportunities that would otherwise have passed me by. My experience of life is much happier as a result. Perhaps this is something you should consider yourself. - Matthew Hogg Fri, 21 Dec 2007 07:23:16 +0100 http://www.ei-resource.org/myblog/What-s-the-fuss-about-LifeWave-patches-.html#comment-20 "After initial skepticism I can report that I am quite frankly amazed and excited by them." [b][/b] The usual start when you read a sales pitch from the LifeWave team. Seen it many many times.
