October 28, 1998 -Results at the end of week two<br />

Marie B. arrived for treatment, without her wheelchair, and walked with only the help of a case. An<br />

observer, who had seen Marie two weeks before said " I don΄t believe it". Marie responded " believe it",<br />

and proceeded to demonstrate her ability to walk around on her own two feet, helped only by her case:<br />

To use Marie΄s own words, she is ecstatic with the phenomenal improvement in her condition in only<br />

a two week period, using the PAP IMI device.<br />

Results after 10 weeks of Bi - Weekly treatments.<br />

Marie can now:<br />

(a) Walk up and down stairs unassisted for the first time in 15 years.<br />

(b) Move and walk around with reasonable ease with only a<br />

4-pronged cane after being confined to a wheel chair most of the time since about 1990.<br />

(c) Dress and undress herself without assistance for the first time in many years.<br />

(d) Get into bed, lie down and get up again without help <strong>from</strong> her husband for the first time in years.<br />

(e) Attend to her personal hygiene without help for the first time in many years.<br />

(f) Has enough flexibility and strength to make herself a cup of tea, again for the first time in many<br />
