Hi David,

Thanks for responding. Hope all is well with you! smile

Do we know why the problems get worse after treatment is over? Is it because the body is so used to being zapped that it is basically on overload and trying to adjust back to what it knew as normal?


Could you tell me what they can expect from the problems getting worse? Mom doesn't want sugar coating, she wants the real deal, so as always, I appreciate your help and honesty.
