I took my husband for a papimi treatment last week to help facilitate his recovery from knee surgery. I had one too and it felt so healing!
PAPIMI induces negative ions into the body at the cellular and sub-cellular level using a powerful electrical field. The negative ions give the cells energy which may help healing them faster than usual. Although in its infancy in the U. S. it is beleived to have a potent effect on cancer and all forms of healing. It is more commonly used in Europe. However, the SF 49ers rave about papimi, which they use in the locker room after a game to help heal their strained muscles, bumps, scrapes, bruises, etcs!!!!!!
There aren't many papimi machines in America, but as luck would have it there is one nearby to us...about 30 minutes away at a chiropractor's office.
If you would like to learn more about it, here are some links.

Celia,
Have you ever studied any of the old violet ray devices? They operate on basically the same principle, except at lower frequencies. In 1951, the manufacturers were banned by the FDA, from claiming that violet ray devices provided medical cures, and most manugacturing of these devices was terminated.
I have one of the old Master Violet Ray devices in my collection--a very interesting item. It's in very nice condition, except that the storage box has some damage. This one came with a gas-filled glass "comb", and a "mushroom" head. Apparently the gas used is argon. I don't know it's date of manufacture, but since it belonged to my grandparents, and I was aware of it's existance as a kid, it would have to date from around the time of, or prior to, WWII.
As they say, there's nothing really new under the sun.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
