Thumper Maxi Pro Variable Power Massager

Thumper Maxi Pro Variable Power MassagerI have lived with an auto accident caused spinal cord injury for well over a decade and have found massage to be one of the few things to bring relief from chronic muscle pain body wide. I have (when I could still afford it) had professional massages at 60+ an hour, use an iJoy massage chair, and every evening use this Maxipro Thumper for an hour or more while watching TV. It DOES the job,,,,,,, and has been powerful and useful for 5+ years now. It is NOT a vibrator as one reviewer surprisingly suggested and "thump" it DOES. Unlike other handheld units (I owned the Mini Thumper but it quit on me after 1.5 years of this kind of use) the shape and weight of this make it perfect for placing in different positions for different body parts where a leg can lay on it or it can lay on the leg, etc. For the back, it can be propped easily and with some adjustments here and there does an excellent job of relieving deep muscle pains that nothing else works to relieve. The moment this one dies,, I'll order another immediately!

Added comment, The massager "died" last night and as I said, I ordered another immediately and from this Merchant in particular. I had the occasion to speak with the MFG after I took the unit apart to seek the reason for its demise and their top notch service dept. told me a way to keep it running a little longer and provided me a way to repair it when it gives it up permanently. So, this gave me reason to call the Merchant above and see how they handled my request to cancel the order. They were courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful and they deserve this notation. So, one more reason to buy this High Quality (and I've seen the inside) massage unit that may last my life time. I am not one who gives the highest praise easily but I DO for this dynamic duo. (MFG and merchant)

This device will give you the best deep tissue massage imaginable!!! I and my workout partner use it on a reciprocal basis and let me tell you, nothing can beat it! I have had my 1st Thumper for 12 years and came here to Amazon because it unfortunately broke, and I need a new one!!!

The Thumper has helped me in innumerable ways: It helped me to restore my lower left leg which was nearly amputated! It also helped to increase the blood and lymph flow to a graft, so no one could ever tell that it was a graft!

It may be expensive, but this device is so good that it can turn your 80-year old grandpa into a massage pro!!! I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!!

My chiropractor used this on me an \d I had to have it. I had sciatica caused by extreme muscle spasms in my back No pressure could rid me of the spasms but the thumper is different, and not for the faint of heart...it really gets in there and kneads the muscles...One thing I don't like is that it is loud, but anything to help the back It vibrates so much if you talk while using it you sound like you are under water! it has several raised areas that connect with the muscles If you can get someone to push while holding onto the thumper it is even better. actually it almost takes another person to help you use it because it is so heavy I lay it on the bed and lean into it,, but sometimes it vibrates so much it moves...still the best thing for muscle spasms..simply the best

I'm a professional masseur and have been using a thumper on my clients for about 10 years. It's different from most massagers in that it has a percussive (thumping) action rather than a rapid back and forth action, so it's effect is deeper and more satisfying. Self thumping is difficult. You really need a "thump buddy."

About a month ago I started thinking that I needed a new one. That started when my thumper seemed to lose power during a massage. I'd used it so much over so long that I imagined it was wearing out. I ordered a new one and discovered once it came that my old one was still working just as well as the new one. The power loss was probably in the electric grid, not my thumper. And the "wearing out" idea was a delusion. I returned the new one. These things are built to last.

I first was introduced to the Thumper when I went to the chiropractor's office for sciatica. The minute he placed it on my lower back, I knew that I had to have one. I walked out of the office pain free and remained so.

Last year, I broke my back in a boating accident and needed surgery. Thankfully, I recovered, but always have varying degrees of pain in my lower back and hips. I take Motrin ritually and pain killers, as needed. I decided to use the Thumper a few weeks ago and the results are remarkable. The sharp pain in my hip vanished after one treatment and other aches and pains disappeared as well. I haven't had a pain killer in two weeks.

This is a must-have machine for anyone with aches and pains. The only downfall to it is that it seems to bother skinny people. It literally "rattles their bones". You need a little meat on your body. Also, it really needs someone to hold it for you on your back. You can lean on it, but it's not the same.

Great machine. Well worth the steep price. Don't think twice.....GET IT!

Imak Plantar Fasciitis Foot Night Splint

Due to medical problems which cause my legs to swell very badly, I must use some type of compression stockings. As they are difficult to put on, I have tried the tubigrip bandages. With the large roll, I can cut the appropriate size. They are much easier to put on and adhere to my leg w/o binding, and maintain the amount of pressure that I need. They wash well (line dry only), so I am able to reuse multiple times. Much more cost effective than stockings. I will continue to use.

The idea is exceedingly simple -it's a stretchy cotton tube. But there are so many uses for it. Many problems with joints, muscles and tendons heal much better if they're just kept warm.

Cut off enough to cover the area and slide your hand, arm or leg into the tube. For large areas, it's better to have two layers. Make sure you buy a size big enough so that it doesn't cut off circulation.

Highly recommended for arthritis sufferers, injured athletes and anybody who needs to keep warm.

First Response Daily Ovulation Test-20 ct

First Response Daily Ovulation Test-20 ctThese ovulation sticks are amazing. I have PCOS and lost my left ovary to a very large cyst a couple years ago. I knew for sure I would end up having to use fertility meds to have a baby. My cycle is so unpredictable when going off the pill. So when trying to conceive with our first, I bought these sticks. I used them everyday around 4 PM and kept track of the shade of the test line daily. I went about three weeks after my last period before seeing a positive test line. I got two days in a row of positive and that is when we tried to conceive. To our complete shock I did get pregnant! We will be welcoming a baby girl in July 2011!

I normally use Clear Blue Easy Digital Ovulation tests, but my RE wanted me to use a dye opk this month so I picked up a box of the First Response 20 pack at CVS Pharmacy. I think it is a waste that they don't individually wrap each test (which is what Clear Blue Easy does). Once you open the pack you need to use all 20 tests within 30 days. My 20 pack from Clear Blue Easy lasts me 2-3 months so I know I will be throwing out more than half of the First Response tests because I won't need them this month and by next month they will no longer be any good.

I used this when TTC baby number 2. I was still breastfeeding my first, and my cycles/fertility signs were a little crazy. My previous cycle was 40 days, so I bought this because I knew I'd need a lot of tests to capture my surge. I used them daily (at 2 pm, not first morning urinewhich I really think is important) and there was always some form of second line. This is completely normal, but I was worried I'd miss the "positive". My positive finally appeared on the 20th stick (CD 27), and it was an obvious positive once I saw it. I ovulated on day 28 and got pregnant. I really found these very helpful to help me pinpoint ovulation when other signs were difficult to detect. I will certainly use these again!

When I bought this test I assumed that I would be able to use the left over sticks for my next cycle. The test disables itself once you have a positive reading... Rendering the rest of the sticks you paid for useless. It would have been smarter to buy the normal weekly packs. I would have NEVER bought this test if it said on the package that half of the test I paid for were worthless. Rip off!!!

Micropore Medical Tape, White Paper - 3" x 10 yards

Micropore Medical Tape, White - 3 in. x 10 yards - Box of 4Just what we needed. Currently using and it works just fine. Nice that it comes 4 rolls to a box. Being used by person who is allergic to other types of tape. Easy to apply.

My "Wound Care" specialist recommended the 3M Micropore Tape for me since I am very sensitive to just about every other tape\adhesive that has been tried in the past. This has been a really good find as after two weeks of use I haven't had any reaction and my condition will likely require use of the tape for several more months.

The tape is strong and holds very well. I like that it is perforated and can be hand torn into convenient sizes at about 2" increments. Like all long term use tapes, it will leave some sticky adhesive residue on your skin when it is removed, but it is fairly easy to remove by gently rubbing the area with a warm dampened washcloth.

We also use 3M Micropore Paper Tape 2 x 10 Yds Box as well, with the same great results!

Highly Recommended!

Hypafix Retention Tape 6" X 10 Yard Roll Each

Hypafix Retention Tape 6' X 10 Yard Roll EachUnfortunately, after surgery on a heel in July 2004 the wound remained opened. It required a daily change of a 3x3 that was secured in place via cling or other wrapping material any of which had to be secured by tape. It was an expense process and very bulky that made wearing a shoe uncomfortable.

Now, the 3x3 is now secured with two strips of the Hypafix tape at a cost far less than the previous method. There is little or no bulk, which is much more comfortable. Furthermore, although most tape products causes irration to my skin, this is not the case with continuted use of the Hypafix Retention Tape.

In terms of expense and comfort the Hypafix tape cannot be beat.

This is the best thing ever. Discovered it when I had a ulcers on my legs. Using it again with some wounds on the torso. Best bandage system ever.

Pain Away® II Individually Packaged Pain Reliever/Fever Reducer (250/Box)

Pain Away® II Individually Packaged Pain Reliever/Fever ReducerThe company first aid/painkiller boxes that we have at my work have boxes of these, and the ibuprofen ones, in them. I absolutely love them. 10x better than any brand name painkiller (Advil, Tylenol, etc..) So I wrote down the name and have been ordering them off of Amazon for the last 6 months or so. Everyone in my house uses them. :) And the shipping time is extremely quick. It always arrives in less than a week.

I have chronic back pain, & take perscription medication as well as see a pain specialist, and I can tell you that Pain Away is the best OTC pain reliever there is for back pain. My hubby also takes it for his aches & pains, Dad takes it for arthiritis, & his wife always has it on hand for migraines.

I always have some in my purse and the little 2 pill packs are so convenient I can take them anywhere, i recommend this to anyone who suffers from the occasional pains, or headaches.

I was so excited to find this product on Amazon. I too, like some other reviewers first used it because it is what we had at my work place. NOTHING, short of a perscription has ever worked better for me than this product, in actuality it has outdone , more than once, some of the perscriptions my doctor had given me. Top Shelf pain relief and it works pretty quickly.

My Pain Away has arrived and I am happy to say it works just as well as the one at work. I was concerned because another reviewer mentioned that it did not work has well as the original Pain Away. The ingredients on the packets I received are the same and in the same strengths as the ones at my office.

I also recevied 2 free samples with my order. One was a cold pill, my husband was in the middle of broncitis and on antibiotics when the samples came. He tried them and liked them better than anything else we had tried. The sample said reduces fever and contains an expectorant as well as the same dosage of acetameniphine and asprin as the Pain Away. So I will be ordering these for the future.

The second sample was a simple wipe for cleaning a certain kind of plastic on glassess plus computer screens. It was simply Isopropyl Alchol, I have sprayed that on my glasses in the past but it did not work well. I do not know if my glasses had whatever kind of plastic they were refering to but I used the wipe on my glasses and then just let them dry for a minute on their own. Worked as good as having them cleaned at the optomitrists office. I suppose I should see if just the plain alchol will work if I do not dry my glasses as suggested on the sample. Still I plan to order some to have handy in my purse.

So three great products, I love it.

All 3 of these products proved superior and I will be using them on a regular basis from now on.

Zippo Emergency Fire Starter Kit

Zippo Outdoor Line Emergency Fire StarterWorks as advertised.

I found the easiest way to open the wax starters is to twist them.

Have your tinder stacked on top of the starter, I was able to lite the starter on the first or second try each time.

I have already ordered replacement wax starters, and you will need them if you plan to try this out before hand.

If there is one drawback to the device it is that the o-ring only seals with some effort.

I have some concern that it would remain closed and waterproof.

This little thing rocks. I have a full collection of fire-steels and tinders, fire-starting materials, etc. I have probably 20+ different ways to start fires, and this is one of my favorites. The tinder sticks light easily when fluffed, and burn plenty long enough to ignite your sticks and what-not. The case is very solid very Zippo. Its weight feels slightly heavier than a regular zippo lighter. There is an o-ring type gasket around the opening where the lid closes snugly.

Compared to the spark lite kit i'd say this has a higher quality feel to it, and the container seems more water-proof. On the downside, it is considerably heavier than the spark lite kit, and less 'modular' One can achieve a more compact and lightweight kit with the spark lite by putting just one or two tinders in a small baggie with the striker. The zippo's striker does come out, but it's not really meant to be carried around that way.

This is a solid, reliable product and i would recommend it to anyone.

It is a flint sparker with a storage area for some fire-starters. That's all there really is to it.

Surprisingly heavy with a sturdy feeling a little more so than the regular Zippo lighters. There is a flipper there, just like the Zippo lighters and you can get the familar opening sound.

However, when closing, the o-ring deadens the sound and prevents full closure of the lid, until you actually press down properly. A good thing as it indicates that the o-ring is squeezing on the lid, which should keep the innards water-tight. I threw it in a sink of water and didn't notice any water ingress.

Having said that, I would recommend using a wide rubber band (like the type made from bicycle inner tubes) to ensure that the lid remains closed, but even if it were to open and flood the insides, the tinder would not be affected and you can quickly dry out the sparker by shaking or blowing out the excess water, followed by quickly striking it a few times.

The sparker is just as you would find on any Zippo lighter, except that it is turned 90 degrees so that the sparks fly out the front (i.e. the wide face) of the device. You pull it straight out and replace the flint by unscrewing the bottom, just like a typical Zippo. However, the screw does not have knurling on it to aid in grip, so you may have to use a coin or screw driver to loosen it. There isn't anywhere to store a spare flint, but each one should be good for quite a lot of strikes.

Replacing the sparker, you must note the direction of the wheel. You can accidentally insert it such that the wheel would throw the sparks on to the tinder.

I don't seem to be able to remove the black parts of the innards and I don't think you are meant to.

The tinder is pretty standard waxed cotton wool. It lights easily once you have frayed it and burns well. Twisting it seems to be the easiest way to fray it. They can be replaced with home-made versions if you don't want to shell out for the original stuff.

All round it is a good, sturdy, fire-lighting device, which can pretty much be operated with only 1 hand. It is too heavy for ultralight hikers, but should be alright for bug-out-bags, daily use (if you have a fire-place), multi-member expeditions (like a scouts camp), vehicular camping, etc.

Ordered this as an item to be included in my BOB (bug out bag). Quality does not live up to my expectation of Zippo products. Lid will not seat completely on the o-ring thus negating the waterproof aspect. Quality control on the tolerances could be improved.

Want Zippo Emergency Fire Starter Kit Discount?

It's very easy to start a fire with this kit. I had never started a fire from a spark before and it was very easy to do with this kit. I followed the instructions regarding opening up the tinder and spreading it out. That made it easy to catch a spark after only a few attempts. Once the tinder caught a spark, it burst into flames very quickly. The tinder itself doesn't burn as long as other larger firestarters, but using proper fire building techniques, this would be great in an emergency situation and much easier than using a match or a regular lighter. I'm using it as part of the emergency gear I have in my RV so I can "pack and forget" and have no worries about stale matches or evaporated lighter fluid.

I like that it's packaged in a Zippo case the familiar Zippo "click" when you open it. I recommend buying a refill kit with it Zippo Tinder Sticks For Emergency Fire Starter so that you can test it out when you first get it. The kit itself only comes with four tinders.

Cover-Roll Stretch - 2' x 10 yards - Hypoallergenic
  • Size: 2 Inches x 10 Yards

I have >50% torn lower patellar tendon and my current prognosis (according to the orthopedic dr) is to use it until it ruptures and treat/deal with the pain. The PT used this tape along with Leukotape to support my tendon.

The cover roll stretch acts as the first layer, directly on the skin. It provides no support at all, but sticks to the skin well, even when you get sweaty from sports. It's very stretchy so it moves with the knee. As a base layer it holds well so the Leukotape can do it's job.

Want Cover-Roll Stretch - 2" x 10 yards - Hypoallergenic Discount?

A knee injury had me looking for methods to stablize/aid the joint. I tried this tape as well as the Kinesio Classic and here are my findings. First of all, I did the taping myself with my son's help (he's a personal trainer). I haven't been to the doctor since I know I'll be sent to this place and that for multiple tests, xrays and an MRI. Problem is, walking makes it worse so I'm hoping that with rest, elevation and taping it will heal on its own. If it doesn't, of course, I'll bite the bullet and take the medical route, but after years of horse injuries (both to them and me) I know things often heal on their own with time.

I bought both these types of tape, not knowing which might work the best. The Kinesio is a slightly better deal as you get 13.5 yards as opposed to 10 yards for this product for about the same price.

This product is lighter and has a smoother finish, but is not nearly as stretchy as the Kinesio. I have very sensitive skin and neither product caused a skin problem. This product is easy to remove from the backing as the backing paper is split down the middle so you only have to fold it a bit to get a corner of the paper to pull off. Actually though, I found application of the Kinesio was a bit easier once I got a corner of the backing free because the single strip of backing could be pulled away as you applied the tape which reduces opportunities for the tape to catch and stick to itself.

The real difference in the two types is in the finish, the weight and stretch. When you want to tape around the knee cap, for example, you need the tape to stretch and 'bend' so it lays smoothly. You want to support the joint/muscle, not immobilize it. If you need that level of help, you probably have a more serious problem that requires professional attention. In my case, I use this tape only in places that don't need to accommodate movement.

The slightly smoother finish means the tape is less likely to be pulled away by clothing like slacks or a shirt worn over the taped area. The lighter weight seems like it would be a bit cooler although I haven't noticed a difference. It stays on really well. In the end though I just find the Kinesio tape more comfortable because of the stretch feature. If you need to tape an area that doesn't require movement, though, this tape is a good choice.

It is o.k . It is helpful for knee and ankle problem. no useful for wrist , hip and other part of body.

"Slo-Niacin Slo-Niacin Slo-Niacin Polygel Controlled-Release Niacin, 500 mg, 100 Tablets"

'Slo-Niacin Slo-Niacin Slo-Niacin Polygel Controlled-Release Niacin, 500 mg, 100 Tablets'"Niacin can raise HDL -the "good" cholesterol -by 15 to 35 percent. This makes niacin the most effective drug available for raising HDL cholesterol. While niacin's effect on HDL is of most interest, it's worth noting that niacin also decreases your LDL and triglyceride levels. High levels of LDL and triglycerides are significant risk factors for heart disease." The Mayo Clinic

SloNiacin will totally prevent the intolerable itching and flushing side effects of regular niacin. Non-flush niacin does not achieve the good cholesterol lowering effects of niacin because it is a different compound: inositol hexaniacinate.

I bought my Slo -Niacin at Wal-Mart, 100 tablets for $12.94. The price from this merchant seems very high as of course you also must pay postage. I'm rating this compound with three stars because of the price. Otherwise I would give it five stars.

The tablets are scored so you can break them in half if you choose. I am currently on 750 milligrams a day and will eventually work up to twice that.

Since Slo -Niacin is much cheaper than statins with virtually no side effects, while statins have many, I feel this is the way to go.

First, I got the worst flush with this product so the claim of NO FLUSH is blatantly false. Problem is the FLUSH doesn't happen all the time which just means that the manufacturing process of the product is SLOPPY. One of the things that good vitamin/supplement manufacturers pride themselves on is "Product Standards" a type of gaurantee that every pill has equal amounts of the the supplement you are purchasing. If I get FLUSH on Monday but not on Tuesday means that there is not quality control.

Additionally, there is HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL. According to the Mayo Clinic Website, "When it comes to fat, trans fat is considered by some doctors to be the worst type of fat. Unlike other fats, trans fat -also called trans-fatty acids -both raises your "bad" (LDL) cholesterol and lowers your "good" (HDL) cholesterol." I called the manufacturer for a refund and they declined.

3M Micropore Tape 2' x 10 yd TAN Box: 6Completely blends into skin tones, much less noticeable than the white tape. My only problem or complaint with any of the Mircropore tape is that the adhesive gets much stronger as you use the roll. So hard to get off tender skin once you get about 1/2 way through a roll.

Dr. Berry's Apothecary Neuropathy Therapy Oil - Temporary Relief of Tingling

Dr. Berry's Apothecary Neuropathy Therapy Oil - Temporary Relief of TinglingI've used this product for about 5 weeks according to instructions were it's stated that cherry angiomas would start to fade away in about 2-3 weeks. I used it for 5 weeks and nothing happened at all. So, I just stopped using it and called the company to get a refund (they have 90 day money-back guarantee, no questions asked). They told me not to return it and they promised to just issue a refund, and that's it. I still didn't get a refund but it usually takes more than a week to get it. I wish this product worked because it specifically designed for cherry angiomas and it was supposed to do get rid of them over a longer period of time unlike other harsher treatments that might leave scars and stuff. I guess I will take my chances with a bit harsher product. Dermisil felt like a perfume. I have to admit, it smells nice.

Transparent Heart Shaped Hot Water Bottle- Made in Germany

Transparent Heart Shaped Hot Water Bottle- Made in GermanyI honestly thought I'd been sent a child's size or manufacturer's sample in error. This is the smallest hot water bottle I've EVER owned in my life and I have a grown-up daughter. It seems well made, though has an ugly white thing (not shown in their photos) so you don't lose the cap. If I decide to keep this I'll cut that sucker off. What numskull would lose their hot water bottle lid?

Seriously tiny. Don't know what else to say. You could warm one foot at a time I suppose. And I am not a large person. Actually, ridiculous is a better word. Hot water bottles are for taking the chill off a bed or easing and comforting aches and pains. This certainly couldn't do the first, and your pain would have to be highly localized for it to help with the second. Too bad, because the actual material and the hearts are most attractive.

Just needs to be almost twice as big. Hope this helps someone else avoid my error.

This hot water bottle is a popular item for my school nurse office. I bought one a few years ago and it sprung a leak, so I reordered...hope this one lasts a bit longer. Kids like it for stomachaches and comfort..

Buy Transparent Heart Shaped Hot Water Bottle- Made in Germany Now

Purchased as a "fun" Valentines gift --and for it's usefulness as a foot warmer on cold nights, the water bottle has already been used to soothe stomach cramps. I like the small convenient size. Note: instructions indicate that product should not be used with boiling water in order to avoid scalding. Using warm water versus boiling water ( as used in our larger water bottle) results in the water bottle cooling faster than the traditional water bottle. This is not a problem and we expect to use this heart shaped bottle for years to come.

I use the warm bottle on a daily basis no leaks so far!

it is thick and keeps the water warm for a good amount of time (but not hours... as it says).

comparing to other warm water bottles I have used this one is of a better quality. The cute heart is also pleasing for my daughter it looks like a big red candy. The bottle doesn't smell bad and the transparent color allows to fill it with control.

The top connects to a small plastic hanger that helps to keep fingers safe when it filled with hot water.So far I am pleased.
