A good friend of mine, God bless her, shared with me information about the Guardian. I have been involved in natural and alternative methods for several years, and I understood the principles of what this device does and I started using it shortly after my injury. I started by using my fingers on the Guardian and carrying the vials in my pocket. I would say it took me about a week. Then I started to feel my energy level lasting longer throughout the day. I did still have pain in my neck and shoulder, sometimes it would increase slightly, then it would fade out. After about two and a half weeks, I started to experiment a little more now that I was feeling more comfortable using the Guardian. I was using it three times a day, and was finding out that I was really getting more energy, especially when I used it at bed time; I would be getting up often, so I cut back at night. I also found out that if I wore the vial in my sock or put it in my pillow case, it would be too strong of an energy field, so I stopped doing that as well. I then started potentizing, using the disk on my neck and shoulder; I could feel the heat from the disk as I worked around these areas (which was awesome). Sometimes it would increase pain slightly, then it would just seem to fade away. I would do this two times a day, sometimes three depending on how I was feeling. When I am achy at night, I use the Guardian. It very slightly increases the pain, but by then next morning, I am feeling great! I decided to go without using the Guardian for three days to see if it made a difference; I was very achy by then, so I started using the disk. The next night I started imprinting again. I woke up the next morning and my pajama top was just soaking wet in the neck and upper back area! I released a lot of toxins through the sweating - I am still amazed. So does this work? YOU BET! I am still using the imprinter two times a day and will continue to do so. I want to be honest here, I believe that what I’m doing along with the Guardian, drinking good water and incorporating good food, is helping me tremendously. I am still seeing my chiropractor and I am making progress with every visit and adjustment. He is scratching his head because he cannot figure out why I did not want to see the neurosurgeon and that I have not taken the “Dose Packs” (steroids) or pain pills with the severity of my injury. I do believe in integrating medicine and surgery, however it is not my first choice. Everyone is different, so I would suggest you start slow and see where you feel most comfortable. MV, Green Bay, WI
