We are not sure but a customer reported that Medtronics, a company that manufactures defibulators, said it was not affected. (Richard Dawson) For a pacemaker we don't know.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes if the pacemaker is shielded. If it is 10 years or older, you should consult your physician or pacemaker manufacturer.

Absolutely. Never withhold defibrillation use from a person in cardiac arrest. If the person in question meets all the criteria of cardiac arrest (unresponsive, not breathing, no pulse) they are essentially "dead."

While both are bio?electric devices. The Rife units are based on frequency as is Hulda Clark's zapper. The Beck Protocol units are based on the use of microcurrents of electricity and a pulsed variant magnetic field. The Bio?Tuner, however, uses frequency technology. Having stated that, frequency units do emit microcurrents. Usually these currents are much lower than the microcurrents on which the Beck technology is showing effectiveness.

Absolutely not. Whether or not you feel anything is dependent on your nervous systems response to the electricity. But the target is not the nervous system, but rather microbes. With continued usage, people often feel the electricity less and less although the amount and effect is the same.

Always consult the manufacturer and / or doctor before using a heart rate monitor. The heart rate monitoring may have an effect on the pacemaker and its functions.

ICD (implantable defibrillator) is an electronic device. The device is used to shock the heart back into a healthy rhythm. The pacemaker is implanted in the body (in the chest area) and is used to prevent cardiac arrest from severe ventricular tachycardia (a quickly fluttering heart beat). The device works through an electrode that is inserted into the heart. The wire (lead) is connected to a tiny computer in the defibrillator.

Yes. Physio Logic® blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric method to detect blood pressure. This means they detect your blood's movement through your brachial artery and convert the movement into a digital reading. The function of a pacemaker is to stimulate the heart to resume a steady beat, or to restore the rhythm of the heart. Therefore, as long as the monitor is able to pick up the vibration of the flow of blood through your arteries it will give you an accurate reading.

You should immediately consult with your physician to determine if your model is part of the recall, if your defibrillator is defective, and whether the risk of surgery is better than the risk of keeping your defective Guidant defibrillator unit.

an employer, you will need to carry out an assessment of first aid needs appropriate to the circumstances of the workplace. There is no legal bar to employers making a defibrillator available in the workplace if the assessment of first aid needs indicates such equipment is required. The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 do not prevent someone who is specially trained from taking action beyond the initial management of a casualty.

The programmable pump will not be damaged by therapy pulses from the pacemaker or ICD. However, it is recommended to keep the programming head for the pacemaker or ICD at least 10cm (4 inches) away from the pump to minimise any potential interference. It also is important to keep the programming head of the pump programmer away from the pacemaker or ICD because the programming head contains a large magnet.

In many cases, both the pacemaker and the neurostimulator can be mutually compatible. Appropriate testing, placement and programming of the devices can help in achieving mutual compatibility. Under certain conditions, it is possible that the pacemaker or ICD could detect the output stimuli from a neurostimulator. This would cause inappropriate pacemaker or ICD operation during the time the stimuli are detected and possibly cause the delivery of an inadvertent shock.

Dr. Hulda Clark recommends that you not zap if you are wearing a heart pacemaker. I agree. Some zapper makers who produce weak zappers say it is OK to zap use their zapper if you have a heart pacemaker. This may be true with weak zappers but, personally, if I were wearing a heart pacemaker I would not take a chance. I would follow Dr. Clark's reommendation. The Ultimate Zapper is very powerful I would definitely not zap with it if you are using a heart pacemaker.

YES, constant high blood pressure hardens the arteries, by damaging the protective layer of the arteries. It increases the thickness of muscles of the heart, known concentric hypertrophy, as diagnosed on 2D Echo Cardiography. In many cases severe thickening leads to conditions of cardiac failure. It increases the burden on the heart, which has to work harder to maintain the normal blood flow.

It is, however, an option that might improve your efficiency by exactly monitoring your effort level, leading to even greater fat loss. If you're interested in learning more, see your options here.

Yes, Arthrosamine™ has been used with a wide variety of drugs and treatments over the years. The ingredients used in it have had numerous safety and absorption studies done on them. There are patients being treated for diabetes, epilepsy, high blood pressure, hormonal imbalances, cancer, HIV, and virtually every common disease, aliment, and problem who are taking MD's Choice's products on a regular basis without problems or negative side effects.

All ReliOn® blood pressure monitors meet or exceed the AAMI (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) standards.

Pacemakers are powered by long-lasting lithium batteries. However, all pacemakers need to be replaced at some time. The exact replacement time for your pacemaker depends upon the type of pacemaker, the medical condition necessitating a pacemaker, lifestyle issues, and other factors. Various methods are used to indicate when the pacemaker needs to be replaced. Your physician will be able to determine the need for a new pacemaker during regular follow-up visits.
