EXAMPLE: Male, age
mid 50s. Illness: emphysema and cancer. He was wheelchair-bound,
on oxygen, unemployed, on welfare and depressed beyond hope. His
doctors were at a loss to help him further until they heard of a
physical therapist who was using a device (THE HEART-LUNG GYM™)
they had never heard about. The therapist was contacted, told of
the positive effects THE HEART-LUNG GYM™ was achieving and
the safety of the device. The doctors told the man. Try it.
After three months on a
3-times a week exercise program on THE HEART-LUNG GYM™, the
man was out of the wheelchair, had greatly reduced his need for
oxygen support. After six months, he was employed part-time as a
greens keeper on a golf course, off welfare, and spiritually feeling
life had some value. More time passed, more works taken, and he was
capable of full-time employment. He still needed a small amount of
oxygen support, still had emphysema and cancer but physically active
and self satisfied. Approximately two years later, he died of
cancer, which was expected. He died content. He felt not cheated
of time or chance and was very appreciative for all the therapist
had done for him. What more can you ask?
EXAMPLE: Male, age 60.
Illness: emphysema. This man struggle to climb one flight of
stairs and had not ventured out further than the front porch in many
years. After six weeks of 3-times-a-week workout program on THE
HEART-LUNG GYM™, done at the V.A. Hospital in Philadelphia, this
man walked five blocks to a store, carried groceries home and did
not feel exhausted. He could not believe the event. More time
passed and many more workouts on THE HEART-LUNG GYM™ were
taken and life became better and better. The highlight of his life
was the once a week bus trip from Philadelphia to Atlantic City for
a day at the casinos. Before THE HEART-LUNG GYM™, such an
outing was inconceivable.
EXAMPLE: Male. Age 10. Illness: asthma. This young
man desperately wanted to be in sports programs. For most part he
could not and when he was able it was for very brief periods. After
three months of 1-time-a-week workout program on THE HEART-LUNG
GYM™, he was participating in sports for the entire period of
the game. He soon excelled in all sports activity. In addition, he
was able to reduce in half and later went on to be almost free of
all medications.
EXAMPLE: Male. Age twelve. Condition: slightly
asthmatic and had undersized lungs for his age. His desire was to
excel in track. He participated but often did not do well nor was
able to finish the practice or event. After six months of
2-times-a-week program on THE HEART-LUNG GYM™, he was
intensely involved in cross country running, competing and placing
well ahead of previous times trials. In addition, his need for
medication was greatly reduced and his sense of accomplishment
soared.
His parents had not told the pulmonary
doctor of their son's LUNG GYM exercise program. The doctor
was very pleased with the pulmonary test results and wanted to make
sure he continued using his medications since it was having such
good results. Actually, since he was doing so well, the boy had
reduced the medications about 80%.
The young man continued his LUNG GYM
workouts, continued to improve both physically and respiratory-wise
and continued to almost eliminate medications. About this time, the
parents told the doctor about their son's relationship with THE
HEART-LUNG GYM™. He immediately rejected the idea as foolish,
shoed absolutely no interest in learning about the results of other
people and was quite disturbed. Their son had not followed his
treatments of medication as he had prescribed. He finished very
strongly stating that respiratory problems can only be improved with
medications and nothing else will have any benefits. Meanwhile, the
lad continues his workouts, says nothing, and continues to improve
his athletics.
Examples could go on and on and on, but
enough is enough.
