I have studiously researched human health insurance sites in an effort to learn whether these products even work in humans. FDA has certified some products, but if you read the fine print, it is ONLY "as safe" not as efficacious -- hence reimbursements are not given. It is also true in Canada. Despite 20+ years of research, treatments are not insured and so obtained by humans out-of-pocket from chiropractors and other "alternative care" practitioners. I was hot to buy one as I am IVAS certified and hoped to broaden my services, but I hesitated after my research. It would have been helpful if some comment could be made to know which machine buy, since certainly U of Colo has done so, although I understand U of Colo can't be seen to be promoting a certain product. Still, what should one AVOID/look for in evaluating the now 3 or 4 different products out there.....Thanks for any follow-up work on this issue.
