Frequently Asked Questions

The answers to your questions, from the flippant to the serious.
Is it a gadget? Is it serious?

The answer? It's accurate, exciting and it works?
And because it works by coaxing the body to develop it's own defence mechanisms, it's completely natural!

Please note that we are not medical practitioners and are not legally premitted to make any claims that the Aculife can CURE ailments.

Is it safe?

The ACULIFE MAGNETIC WAVE THERAPIST is safe and there are no side effects although inevitably there are some people who should not use it (see below). Benefits have been gained from magnetic therapy for hundreds or even thousands of years. (It is believed to have been used in Ancient Egypt where Cleopatra is understood to have used it to preserve her beauty). Over 1 million people have already benefited from using the Aculife and hundreds of millions of people worldwide benefit from magnetic therapy. Indeed, in Japan and many parts of the Far East, magnetism is as ubiquitous as the Aspirin is over here. The magnetic wave at less than 50 Hz is well below internationally set limits for medical machines. Many other magnetic products operate at between 100 and 500 Hz. The gauss rating of the Aculife is 1-10 MG. The earth's magnetic field operates at approximately 0.5 gauss. The device has undergone extensive market research and development testing since the late 1990s and also has the requisite patents and safety certificates including EC certification CE 0434.

Are there any side effects?

Because the Aculife works by using magnetic waves to coax the body into improving itself without using drugs or being invasive in any way, it means that there aren't any harmful side effects. There are, however, some people who should not use magnetic aids.

Can ANYBODY use it?

Though safe for the majority, there will ALWAYS be exceptions - so

DO NOT USE IF YOU:

o    use a pacemaker

o    are pregnant

o    have malignant tumours

o    tend to haemorrhage

o    have tuberculosis

o    are a child under 3

o    seriously alcoholic intoxicated

Why not? All magnetic therapies improve the efficiency of the flow of blood around the body, so it could have the effect of feeding tumours and sustaining haemorrhages. It is possible that the electricity and magnetism could interfere with a pacemaker's operation or battery. Children in the womb or under three are still in very early stages of development and it is standard practice to avoid exposing them to any external stimuli.

Is this a miracle cure-all?

No, but it is strikingly effective. Of course it's not going to eradicate all use of medicinal drugs, instantly repair broken limbs or replace Western medicine. But it does provide a way to maximise your recovery from illness, to improve your ability to fight off disease and alert you to 'silent' problems that you may be unaware of.

The magazine adverts make some strong claims. Are they real?

Yes. Have a look at The Ad Claims page for more detail

How do people use it?

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

·         accelerate 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 then reasonable to accept that some problems you weren't aware of may need some investigation.
After that 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 meant 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 are less noticeable for the vast majority of points. 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, and it also won't be as effective if you don't use the earpiece.

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. If you still feel tender, you could try Detecting in 'Relieve' mode or try adjusting the earpiece as this sometimes affects the degree of power being sent through your body. 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 marketing started in the Far East in 2000 before being launched to a small number of markets in 2001. To date approachung half a million units have been sold in countries as diverse as Japan, Taiwan, the United States, Australia, Germany and Switzerland. 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 in the US is now just $299.99 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 $70 per session. For $299.99 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 about them
• Using the Aculife has opened our minds to alternative ways of getting and staying healthy and to a totally different approach to medicine
• We just may be able to avoid using some medicinal drugs in the future.
• It puts us in a position where we can 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 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. More recently there are some products on the market that apply a light stimulus to some points on the hand, which has some similarities to the way the Aculife works. Then again, Bentleys and Mini Coopers have similarities too. The major differences with the Aculife are in the accuracy, overall effect and the beneficial impacts of dual stimulation.
