Just watched a podcast about Beech Bands - and they sound amazing. Is there any info about when they will become available and how they can be bought? Is there a waiting list?

No probs they do look interesting.
It would be interesting to know what clinical research has been done on this.

From my observations this guy is not motivated by money. Does it matter whether they have a scientist’s approval, so long as they do no harm? Mine’s been a few weeks in the pipeline - I ordered it 29th December - but I’m looking forward to trying it. BTW it wasn’t expensive - £20, and I paid £300 for a similar gadget and it didn’t work for me.

I ordered one on 29th December, had acknowledgement but no delivery date. I won’t hold my breath…
I take my medication and that has worked well for me for over 15 years now. People are surprised when I tell them I have Parkinson’s!!

Hi , we ordered one beginning of December , we had ours delivered on Thursday one of the first 100 .
My wife has worn it today and so far she says she feels no different , as in . , switched it on when she couldn’t walk … Still couldn’t walk with it on .
We’re going to try the other arm different times of day different part of the body.
I’m not saying it not working .we just have to find the right place for it to have the right effect .
I put it on gave me quite a tingle in my hand .
We will persevere with it. And come back with any news.

i am interested in this band and see that it has been worn by some known people in the Parkinsons world and has made a difference to them . it is also supported by Parkinsons UK. Does anyone know if it makes a difference to dystonia - ie can free you from it? It also has worked for other neurological problems such as stroke and MS. I didnt find the Cube did anything for me, but this is far cheaper and appears to be more succesful.
Noticing a tingle in your hand is a good sign of some effect. I’d be curious to see if certain conditions or placements consistently bring about a change
My wife has tried it on left and right wrist, I’m not noticing difference on how she walks.
But she says it’s helping , obviously she’s the one who can tell the difference.
I may try to attach it to her legs ( one at a time !) and see if that’s any help . But it’s like all these gadgets. Some work for some .
Not to sure what other benefits it may have or to what extent it helps other conditions.
Until it’s full release and customers can fully explore it’s full potential who knows…
I just read that the release date is June , July and the cost will be around £80-99
It isn’t a cure in any way @forest though it may help. The only way to know is to try.
I’ve friends who bought it and I could see the difference for them. For one it was immediate. For the other it took a few weeks of wearing to get used to it before it helped.
That doesn’t mean it’ll help everyone.
