    Tiny sample size and tiny test make me think this was performed by someone trying to sell placebo machines, but I’m too lazy to dig into it. I’ll believe it when it’s FDA approved for treatment before I get excited about something that might finally help me.

    Is this a hormetic response? If so, have they determined at which points the amplitude, frequency and duration cross over from hormesis to permanent damage?
