 How do people use it?

This one's interesting.  People we have spoken have used it to:

• ...to find something that’s wrong - the hypochondriac’s ultimate dream?
• ...identify potential problems then exercise their choice to do nothing or to see a GP
• ...treat specific minor ailments, such as muscle injuries
• ...give general maintenance, to try to avoid the use of drugs and grow old naturally
• ...provide after-dinner entertainment and conversation
• ...give a very different gift - novel as well as healthy
• ...supplement or complement some other therapies, such as physiotherapy
• ...improve recovery after exercise

Isn't this just a gadget?

No - but it can be fun to try with a group of friends and provides hours of interesting conversation after dinner!

To be frank, that's how we used it for the first few months after buying it.  It can be extraordinarily entertaining watching your family and friends identify for themselves what’s wrong with them!   We have found that it very quickly identifies long-forgotten injuries or ailments which helps to convince people that there could well be something to it, further stimulating interest and eliminating the inevitable "It must be a trick" or "you're doing something".  So actually, it often starts off as a gadget but quickly moves beyond that and into the 'interesting' area because as it so accurately detects problems that you are already aware of it is a short logical step to accept that some problems you weren't aware of may need some investigation.  Then it's only a short step to thinking "Well, if it can detect so accurately, there must be some sort of link to the remote organs from from these acupoints so it may very well help to relieve the problems we've found".  That was our line of thought, anyway.

When it went on to actually improve our health problems we became totally convinced.

Does it work on other parts of the body?

Yes.

Since the body is supposed to be perfectly balanced, you could use the right ear / right hand combination. But apparently the skin is much less sensitive on the right hand than on the left hand, so the results will be less noticeable.You could also use the acupoints on the ear. But the wand is too blunt for the precision that is really needed and you'd probably need someone else to apply it accurately.You could use the acupoints on your left foot. But they haven’t been mapped out to anything like the detail that the left hand has. It’s also unhygienic and difficult to reach.

Incidentally:

• Most of the examples here suggest the palm.  Don't forget the back of the hand as there are many important points here too.
• It's designed for use on the ear and the palm. We don't recommend that you try it elsewhere and you should avoid using it on your face, heart or chest.
• It also won't be as effective if you use the left hand / right ear combination or vice versa

Does it hurt?

When you first use it, the stimulation can come as something of a surprise, so the answer is that it can do - at first.

The thing to do is to start off in 'Detect' mode at a very low level and gradually build up as you get used to it.  Some people find this a bit difficult, but it really is worthwhile persevering.The higher the level you can endure, the more accurate the detection and the better the effect on your health as the brain generates more and more endorphins.

How many of these have been sold?

We must keep our promise to the developers not to reveal detailed information that may be commercially sensitive.   We have promised that we will only give round numbers.Serious market research started in the Far East in 2001 before being launched to a small number of markets in 2002.  In 2003 over 100,000 units were sold as the number of countries was expanded. This includes the United States, Australia and Germany.   And now the United Kingdom!We have been told that well over 1 MILLION people have now been treated using the Aculife as a result of trials and sales.

All of which makes us feel that it's here to stay.

Is it worth it?

Absolutely.The recommended retail price is £250 which having owned and used an Aculife for two years we believe is very good value for money and an excellent investment in yourself.

A typical specialist treatment will cost at least £25 per session.  For £250 you have a device which detects, relieves AND protects without the need for specialist knowledge. If you use it to supplement or as part of your treatment, we would expect the number of treatments necessary to be reduced.

For us, it has opened up a host of possibilities:

• We should certainly reduce those unnecessary visits to the doctor
• We can detect conditions early enough to prevent them developing and catch them before its too late to do anything
• Aculife opened our minds to alternative ways of getting and staying healthy about them
• It's opened our minds to a totally different approach to medicine
• We just may be able to avoid using some drugs in the future.
• It puts us in a position where we have more control over our own health
• We can detect and treat ourselves in our own time in the comfort of home

Aren't there similar products about?

There are products that also stimulate acupoints by magnets or by magnetic waves.

What is unique to the Aculife is that the acupoint stimulation is done by you yourself via the palm of the hand and the ear simultaneously, it is dual function and as a result is more accurate. It has also undergone extensive testing for safety and efficacy by the developers XfinityLife R&D Technology Limited with whom we work in close co-operation.Other products require direct stimulation on the specific body acupoint, which of course requires detailed knowledge and obviously needs a specialist to do it - not least when the acupoint is in some inaccessible position.
