What Others Have Said About Welcome Relief from Motion Sickness!!

Thanks for a great product!

I just returned from my first Caribbean cruise and I just can't sing your product enough praises. I have suffered for years from motion sickness and am so pleased that I have finally found relief and can actually enjoy plane and boat rides.

When flying, takeoffs and landings were agony in the past, so I wasn't sure how my system would react to a cruise. I did some research on the web and found many favorable reviews of your product. I opted for ordering the 48-hour version of your product. I wasn't sure exactly how much I would need it on the ship, so I used my regular wristbands for the flight to Miami and decided to save the Reliefband for the cruise. The regular wristbands work OK, but when your hands and wrists begin to swell during the flight, they REALLY get uncomfortable because you can't adjust them like you can the Reliefband and taking them off is not an option. Once I got on the ship, I put the Reliefband on and decided to switch it on only when I needed it. It came in handy, especially in areas where I didn't have a view of the horizon. Whenever I started feeling uncomfortable, I clicked the dial one or two notches and I felt instant relief. I was able to enjoy my meals and even have a glass of wine with them. As I got used to the ship's motion I was using it less and less until I didn't even have to wear it any longer.

So, the 48-hour version was plenty for me. I used my Reliefband for the flight home and it was nice to be able to watch out the window during the plane's landing without any nausea whatsoever! The landing took longer than usual because we had to circle the airport and I'm so happy to have been able to do it with no discomfort! I must confess, though, that I did have to click it up one more notch just for this landing. And, it was nice to know that I had control like that. Thanks for a great product! - L.R.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recently purchased your medical device and have used it on two round trip flights to San Juan and to Raleigh Durham that were very turbulent. In addition, I had to be transported to a couple of destinations in the back of a mini-bus. In all cases, I experienced no nausea.

In the past I would take 1/2 of a single non-drowsy Dramamine tablet and would feel severely "drugged" for at least 24 hours after administration. With my ReliefBand, I can arrive at my destination without nausea AND without being in a "coma".

Because I have tiny wrists, the device is easily visible. Many people have commented on it and I've recommended that they research the device for themselves. I've suffered for years with motion sickness and this is the best treatment! Best regards - K.R.

ReliefBand. Does it really work?

My wife is (was) a motion sickness person looking for a place to happen. She got sick riding around the block in the family car and was absolutely miserable on long trips. To fly with me in a small airplane was a no-brainer!

We wanted to take a cruise this winter, but both of us knew what would happen. A friend of mine told me about the ReliefBand, and I read about it in AvWeb. I ordered the ReliefBand and we booked the cruise. The second day at sea we ran into some bad weather. The sea's got rough and the ship pitched and rolled. Everybody on board went to their cabin including some of the crew, but not my wife! She was having a great time in the ship's casino! Anyway, the cruise turned out to be great fun and she never got sick.

The big news for me came when I asked her if she wanted to fly with me to see her sister in Virginia. She decided to give it go with the ReliefBand. The flight over was wonderful, and when her sister picked us up at the airport my wife was beaming.

Coming home was a different story. The weather was good, but we had strong head winds and the turbulence turned out to be more than just moderate. We got tossed about quite a bit. I was pretty busy flying the airplane and I just knew she was "turning green". Not so! She hung in there like a trooper. We landed at Beckley, West Virginia for fuel after two and half-hours of bumping along. To my great surprise she was hungry and wanted a sandwich!

The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of electrical acustimulation at point P6 on gastric myoelectrical activity and the symptoms of motion sickness provoked by viewing a rotating optokinetic drum. The study was composed of 2 experiments.

In experiment 1, sixteen Chinese students were used as subjects. Each subject came to the lab twice but received electrical stimulation only once during drum rotation. Half the subjects stimulated themselves with electroacupuncture during their first session; the other half stimulated themselves during their second sessions. The electroacupuncture instrument was given to the subject (on stimulation days) to allow him or her to self-administer the stimulation at the level that minimized symptoms with little or no discomfort. Subjects were told that the higher the level of electrical acustimulation, the more relief they would experience from their symptoms. The sessions for this experiment lasted 30 minutes; each subject sat quietly in an optokinetic drum during a 15 minute baseline period, then the drum was rotated around the subject at a speed of 60 degrees/second for 15 minutes. The subjects were told to look straight ahead at the black and white vertical strips rotating around them. EGG and respiration readings were recorded continuously throughout each session, and the subjects were asked to report any symptoms of motion sickness every 2 minutes while the drum was rotating.

RESULTS:

In experiment 2, forty-five subjects were divided into three groups of 15 subjects: acustimulation, sham acustimulation, and control (no apparatus attached to the wrist). The procedures used in experiment 2 were the same as in experiment 1 with the following 2 exceptions: a) each subject had only 1 session in the drum; and b) in the sham-acustimulation group, there was no electrical output from the electrodes placed on the subject’s wrist. These sham-stimulated subjects were told that they would not feel any stimulation because the stimulator produced an extremely high frequency pulse but that relief of their motion sickness symptoms depended on their adjusting the output of the stimulator.

Results:

In conclusion, in was shown in 2 separate experiments that electrical acustimulation reduces the symptoms of motion sickness and also reduces gastric tachyarrhythmia, which has been shown in previous research to be associated with nausea and other symptoms of motion sickness.
