Six-Month Results of the CHI Institute Neuropathy Study
In our Fall 2002 Newsletter, we reported on the two-month progress of the individuals participating in this study. At
that time, 3 of the original 20 had dropped out of the study group and, at the six-month point, another 3 had dropped out. In the remaining group of 14 participants, only 9 had continued to use the Infratonic therapy protocol as outlined. Of the 5 participants who indicated they had departed from the protocol, one reported at six-months that he never even used the machine during the last four months, another was being treated for another disease and could not use the Infratonic regularly, and others just chose not to follow the protocol or to curtail the amount of use. It is interesting to observe that those with the more severe symptoms, as reflected by the Pre-Treatment measurements, were less likely to drop out of the study or to modify the treatment protocol – perhaps indicating that their quality of life had been so greatly affected already that the possibility of finding relief was a powerful motivator for them.
It would be impractical to consider the results of those who chose to alter the protocol in the same statistical grouping
as those who continued to rigorously adhere to the treatment plan, so we have presented their results separately. It is not unexpected that the progress made by these two distinctly separate groups is markedly and predictably different.
While those participants that continued to use Infratonic therapy regularly, following the protocol, continued to improve in
every category (the rise in Ulceration from the Pre-Treatment measurement to the Two-Month measurement was caused by oneindividual developing a secondary site); those participants who either discontinued use or altered the protocol during the studysaw their condition continue to deteriorate, often beyond the Pre-Treatment measurement levels.
It is important to note that the physicians examining the participants noted a decrease in pain from the Pre-Treatment
measurement to the Two-Month measurement and those who continued the protocol saw the pain drop further, while those who discontinued or curtailed their therapy did not. More importantly, for those who chose to abandon or curtail their treatments, there was an increase in nearly every other category – more disability, more discoloration and more ulceration. Levels of neuropathy and vascular disease either stayed the same or increased.
We have learned two valuable lessons at this point in the study. First, the continued use of Infratonic therapy provided
steady progress for the participants. Diabetic neuropathy is a long term, degenerative disease whose symptoms normallycontinue to worsen, and to slow that downward spiral is a remarkable accomplishment; but to see an improvement, even a slowand steady one, provides tremendous hope for the many who suffer daily. The second lesson is just as significant – this is acommitment to improvement in the quality of one’s life that requires a continuity of care. It is vitally important that the therapycontinue regularly, as the potential for relief is dependent upon it. Copyright 2003 CHI Institute. All Rights Reserved.

I am no longer using the wheelchair. My walking is much better and I amable to do many activities that I could not do before.Before I began to use the Infratonic, my pain was so intense that I was spending a great deal of time just resting with my feet propped up. I had to rely on my family to do those things around the house that I could no longer do, even grocery shopping and cooking had to be done by my family because the pain was so great. I had seriously considered having the nerves in my legs cut so they might be numbed and the pain would not be as severe. After using the Infratonic for seven months, I finally feel like I have a life again. I now have my own unit and look forward to continuing to use it. I am confident that it will help the pain subside even more. Finding Dr. Wysoki and the Infratonic was God’s answer to my prayers…. I have my life back again.”
