Greetings from ABC Health Solutions! First and foremost, we want to wish you a great 2005, with much less pain and far better health than in years past. Thank you for your interest in our newsletter. I was writing my first newsletter when the November issue of Health Science Institute was mailed. Due to the high interest in our products, we have not had time to finish the newsletter until now. We will do better in the future. If any of you have called and we have not returned your call, please try again. We will keep you informed about new information, new products, and what is happening in our design department. Also, you know where you hurt, and you could provide some wonderful ideas that we might be able to develop to assist you and others. Please, let us hear from you. Often I am asked, "What is Farabloc and how does it work?" Farabloc is a material that is made from ultra-fine steel fibers, woven with nylon to make a fabric that can be washed, cut, and sewn. Some of you might know that this fabric has been available in Canada and Europe for over 14 years. It was primarily invented to stop phantom pain caused by amputation. Farabloc looks and feels like linen, and may be used repeatedly without losing its unique anti-inflammatory effect (according to a controlled study conducted by the University of British Columbia School of Rehabilitation Medicine). In my opinion, the best thing about Farabloc is that it is drug free, with no proven side affects of any kind (unless you are allergic to steel or nylon). Farabloc blocks the high frequency electromagnetic waves which are everywhere and cause an increase in creatine phosphokinase (CPK) enzymes which are known to produce pain and cramping in the muscles. There are many different kinds of pain; however, a huge number of them are either muscle or nerve related, and Farabloc may be able to help. My personal results from using the wrap/blanket are that my muscles usually respond within two or three hours. Although this might not happen that quickly with everyone, I have had people call me and say that they get results as soon as they apply the product to the affected area. One thing we do know is that we have to use the product as much as possible for the first few weeks to get the benefit of stopping those high frequency waves from beating up our bodies. We are interested in your questions; email us at farabloc@abchealthsolutions.biz. We encourage you to share your results with us, as well as all the readers of this newsletter. I know that most of you have read the story of Pauletta in the HSI newsletter, but I wanted to tell you that I personally gave her the blanket and followed her progress over a period of 90 days. I see her often and she is still doing just fine. She is only using the blanket 2 or 3 nights a week and she is still pain free, taking no medication, and has warm feet. She thinks the blanket came from heaven. New Designs: At ABC Health Solutions, we are presently working on a better design for our sock, a vest type product for men, (you all know they won't use it if it looks strange), a hat for headaches, and a cover for our heads at night. Who knows, we might all be sleeping in a "kerchief and cap" in the next few months. We believe that if the vest was Farabloc on the back where the pain might be, and some kind of fabric on the front, men might wear them more and the cost would be less. Our hat is ready for market; you will see the pictures on our web site in the next couple of weeks. Farabloc is not stretchable nor does it have a bias so the challenge is great when we want to improve our designs or create something new. However, a recent trip to California to attend the Abilities Expo in Santa Clara has made us more determined than ever to make more and better designs to help you with your pain. Read our new testimonials. Send us yours! Sincerely your friend, Patsy Winterton Owner, ABC Health Solutions
