In the United States
terminal care is
provided for patients
dying of cancer. These
unfortunate people are
generally given enough
pain medicine to make
them “comfortable”.
Unfortunately, this
deprives these people of
the only diminishing
asset they have --- the
consciousness to enjoy
their loved ones.
In a study done at Duke
University Medical
Center’s Hospice Center,
patients were offered
the opportunity to use
low frequency sine wave
treatment or take self
administer morphine. The
researcher (Burke) found
that patients were
taking more low
frequency sine wave
treatments and using
less morphine. The study
had to be terminated
before the predicted
number of patients to
yield statistical power
were treated. Patients
using sine wave
stimulation used an
average of 51 mg of
morphine. Those treated
with pain medicine
alone, used 180mg.
Statistical analysis of
the abbreviated results
yielded a 94%
probability that this
constituted a valid
study.
There are many anecdotal
accounts of terminal
patients whose final
hours were markedly
improved in quality by
this technology.
Consider only the
statistically
significant studies
showing the anxiety
reduction without
clouding the mind. Place
a value on this in the
terminal patient.
Relieve some of their
aches and pains, even if
minor. Give them a sense
of well being. Allow
them to experience the
pleasure of sharing the
love of spouse, parent
or child who stands
beside them.
SWM brings better end
life quality to Hospice
Care.
