Lymphstar Pro® Testimonials

To anyone considering purchasing the Lymphstar Pro:

In December of 2000 my wife was diagnosed with lymphedema in her left leg and lower abdomen; she was 52 years old and in otherwise good health. We were told that the lymphedema was caused by abdominal scar tissue from surgery she had 14 years ago, and that nothing could be done to alleviate the condition other than receiving lymphatic massage and wearing compression stockings. These methods were somewhat helpful, but very time consuming and inconvenient. Eventually, I was giving her lymphatic massage at home after our insurance coverage for that procedure ran out.

I found an ad for the Lymphstar Pro in the magazine Alternative Medicine and decided to give this device a try. We were both very glad I did, because it was very easy to use and it helped the process tremendously! Using the Lymphstar Pro to loosen up the lymph made my efforts at lymphatic massage much more effective and in much less time! It really worked as advertised and we both highly recommend it for anyone with lymphedema.

I was so pleased with the results of this device, I offered to write this testimonial with "no strings attached" in any way - I just wanted to let others know that this is a good product that may be able to help them as well.

I use the Lymphstar Pro every day for about a half hour because I have a pretty bad case of Lymes disease. It really seems to help me, I was having some symptoms come back possibly from not using it since I shipped our other one out, and I felt much better after using it again. I've been using the Lymphstar for about 5 months now, but the last month or so I've been able to feel more of a difference after I use it, and I'm definitely improving now! Thanks for all the work and research you do to produce such an effective instrument.

My name is Renee' Schick and I own Renee's Survivor Shop in Toledo, Ohio (www.rsurvivorshop.com). I had breast cancer in 2001 at 36 years and found out the hard way that there was such a need for everyone for a shop like mine, so I opened up in 2003 when I was done with my treatments and surgeries. In 2006 I started having swelling in my right arm and my fingers. Since I sell compression products and I educate others on the precautions of developing lymphedema, I knew what I had. I did have 17 nodes removed and radiation. So...I started wearing a glove and sleeve.

I had a gal stop in the shop last summer who starting telling me about the Lymphstar Pro machine and what it can do for cancer survivors in many ways. I was very reluctant. I am a hard sell and I need to see with my own eyes!!!! So, she asked if i would be open to having her do some treatments on me. I agreed and never went to the first appt. She called and called and I agreed to give it a try. After the first treatment which was about a hour, I went home and drank lots of water as she said. I went to the restroom a lot so I knew something was going on. She then did two more treatments and I was able to stop wearing my compression garments. What she did was break all of the scar tissue up from my two surgeries! It was like a clogged drain being unclogged!

I was good for about 2-3 months and then I started swelling again. I went back for one treatment in september and I got my own machine after that. I have submitted it to my insurance and it is in process. They have told me it is a covered item, I just don't know how much. I now work with the gal who came in my shop (Debbie Wilkins). We go and talk to doctors every monday about the machine and I do now sell it to others. We have many people in our area who have had MLD (Manual Lymphatic Drainage) done and seen improvements but have not been able to get away from the compression garments until they use the machine regularly.

A couple of other benefits that I have experienced are a loss of weight (with exercise and watching what I eat), and a smoother face!!! It detox's you, makes you feel more energetic. I even use it on my belly to bust up the scar tissue from my babies and hysterectomy. I sometimes feel that some of the medical fields don't want to tell you about alternatives like the Lymphstar Pro. That would take away from the compression garment industry, lymphedema departments, etc. It took something so awful like what Lori went threw with her son to find the other way to help people like myself and others.

I began to notice a difference in my health within about six treatments. I have had digestive and elimination problems for years and lymphatic treatment has definitely helped. In October I broke my knee cap and the lymphatic treatments helped my swelling, pain, and healing. I would recommend lymphatic therapy wholeheartedly.

My daughter had swollen lymph nodes under her arms after her first year away at college. I was concerned about her lifestyle affecting her health. When the Lymphstar arrived, I got in 3 treatments before she went back to school. The nodes completely went away! I treat her every time she is home for prevention. I am so excited about this technology and use it on myself and many friends with great results.

Nancy, as you know, after a c-section and double hernia surgery, I developed severe scarring in my lower abdominal area. The scarring formed a mass which caused blockage in my intestines. I received numerous pain injections which did not help. Then I went through countless physical therapy sessions which included ultrasound. This also provided no relief. Through time, the scarring got worse and I did not receive relief until I visited you.

When you used the Lymphstar Pro to work on my abdominal area, I finally felt relief. The machine broke up the scar tissue enough that the blockage became relieved. After several treatments, I felt great relief from my pain and intestinal problems. Thank you for using the Lymphstar Pro which made this chronic situation more tolerable.

Since my first therapy session with the Lymphstar, I have been free of the cystic breast pain that had plagued me for years. My hope is that news of this program will spread and others will be spared unnecessary surgery.

After we returned to Korea from Colorado with our Lymphstar Pro, we treated a man next door who had a terrible mouth condition with pain that prevented him from eating. We treated him and within hours he could eat. It was remarkable. Our doctors here will love this! Also, my partner's mother has diabetes and after one treatment her blood sugar was down considerably. This was not in conjunction with injections. We will share this with many therapists here.

I am so grateful to have found you and the healing power of the Lymphatic Therapy with the Lymphstar Pro. Following the therapy the pain disappeared and I was informed by my surgeon that the previously enlarged lymph node was no longer present and that neither a biopsy nor further visits were required.

I have a form of Lymphatic Lymphoma called Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia. I've been under treatment for five years. The medical doctors have used two types of chemotherapy on me - Rituxin IV treatment and oral Chlorambucil. I currently am on oral Chlorambucil and have been this time since August 2004.

Part of the symptoms are enlargement of the spleen and liver, and enlarged lymph glands. Since my first treatment with Elyse on November 30, 2004, I've been examined by three medical doctors. I have no enlarged lymph glands and my liver and spleen are normal. I've also had a tendency to build up toxins and hold water with this medication too. These treatments seem to have eliminated the problem.

I have monthly blood tests. The Oncologist tracks the IGM count and my Hemoglobin count (red cell count). My highest counts, 5 years ago were IGM 4300 and Hemoglobin: 10.9. My counts on December 1, 2004 were: IGM: 1400 and Hemoglobin: 11.9. On January 3, 2005: IGM: 1135 and Hemoglobin: 11.4. The latest blood test on February 7, 2005 was an astounding: IGM 1115 and Hemoglobin: 12.3. These are the best counts I've had in five years! Since I've started the Lymphatic De-congestive Therapy with Elyse, that has been a 285 point drop in my IGM count! And my Hemoglobin has rebounded as well. And I feel good! This is non-invasive, energizing, and soothing at the same time. This has been a wonderful experience for me.

I am using the Lymphstar Pro in my practice and highly recommend it because it is the fastest and most reliable instrument for the relief of lymph based disorders.

I have had two clients now with the shingles who have been helped very much with the Lymphstar therapy. One was resolved in about 4 days, and the nurse at her doctor’s office remarked that her recovery was very surprising to her. It appears to shorten the duration of the illness greatly, to the great relief of the sufferers!

The Lymphstar Pro provides a primary and basic step to a greater sense of well being. From my experience in using the Lymphstar Pro with body work & other facilating work, I have seen a great scope in a lot of areas promoting a greater sense of well being. I have found in using the Lymphstar Pro before deep tissue massage people don't experience recovery pain after body work. I also see clients letting go of their pain, some how they see its time to surrender the restriction they have put on their lives. As a practitioner it has made my role so much more rewarding and fulfilling.

I had a client with Bursitis in his knee and it was twice the size of the other one. He was unable to bend that knee or get pants over it. He went to the hospital and they gave anti-inflammatories and 2 weeks off of work. He than called to see if there was anything I could do since he was concerned about missing 2 weeks or more of work and only light duties. I used the Lymphstar Pro on client.

The next morning I received a call from the client wanting to know what I did to his knee because the Bursitis had gone! There was only slight swelling and he remarked "That's Awesome!" He went to work that day and disregarded the light duties suggestion. The client rang two days later in a panic that his knee was black and blue. With another two treatments the client's symptoms were gone. The size, color, and flexibility were back to normal. This was one of my first clients I used the Lymphstar on. I had my doubts but it is in the using experience of what takes place with the Lymphstar Pro that has convinced me.

I also would experience lower back pain after lifting heavy things. After a heavy days work I bathed and went to bed. On awaking I was unable to straighten due to lower back pain so I treated myself for a half hour and got out of bed still a little sore. As the day went on pain became less and less. Now after a days work I no longer experience back pain.

I have been using the Lymphstar from Arcturus Star Products in my practice as a physical therapist since the inception of the Lymphstar. The primary benefit is reduction of inflammation via resorption into the lymph system. It makes it possible to do this without the administration of anti-inflammatory drugs that tend to be catabolic in action. I have found that lymphatic resorption of fluid and trapped proteins from an injury site and/or site of surgery, assisted by the Lymphstar, stimulates a much quicker and more normal healing response as fibroblasts form more normal connective tissue without adhesions or capsules of fibroblasts at the incision site. I have also used the Lymphstar as a performance-enhancing device as well as to reduce inflammation.

A client recently received a manual lymphatic treatment from me for extraordinary blockage of the axillary nodes following extensive right shoulder repair surgery. The baseball size mass under her right arm was very dense, rigid, and painful to the touch. The left underarm was nearly the same size, somewhat more pliable, and not as sensitive. The manual lymph drainage brought the client little relief.

It was our good fortune to have a Lymphstar Pro made available to us on a trial basis. The results were astonishing. After just one treatment, the mass under the right arm was half the size, and pliable to touch. The left side showed marked improvement as well. Subsequent treatments further ameliorated the symptoms bringing welcome relief, and support for a return to healthy lymph system function.

I have had the privilege of working with the Lymphstar Cleansing Technique. This therapy is especially important during times when the body is dealing with infections, cancer, or after surgery. But I believe it is equally as important as a maintenance therapy for healthy individuals. I highly recommend integrating Lymphatic Cleansing into a holistic approach to healing and preventive health care.

I was called by a friend with a beautiful Morgan mare with founder. She had a very swollen and painful foreleg. The vet had given the owner little hope. I worked the Lymphstar on the upper leg and she relaxed with the pain relief. I did a 20-minute treatment on the leg and a little on the main lymph drainage area. Within the next few days, the hoof abscessed and drained itself and the vet was pleased, with only a cracked hoof to worry about. It did heal up completely and I only gave a few more short treatments. The owner credited my work with the healing.
