Here they come again. In the last few weeks. I have gotten another round of new friend requests on facebook. All pretty young girls with a swollen hand and a page a year old. All so touching, the fundraisers for calmare treatment, the pics of them hooked up to a machine and the happy pictures of them being without pain. Why is it only young pretty girls. When it is most common in the ladies over 40? How is it all of these young girls just have the same injuries. But only when they have close up pics of hands. It is yet another round of new websites, all quick Wordpress sites, same shit doctors performing miracles. Hey cti and all the docs, word is out already, find a more believable group. At least try not to be obvious, the communities are on to it. We have secret groups with the names and pages listed.

Its sad that there are really sic people out there, who are already financially and emotionally exhausted already, and you are still greedy enough to try and reach into their pockets.

Has not Forrest Rehabilitation, which claimed to have 6 locations or some ridiculous number, actually gone and has re-opened after some minor issues, under another name. Still claiming 6 locations, but having two locations and a billing office which, well, anyway. They in fact have one Calmare unit in a closet, who gets used by the handyman.

Stop the lies already. They got one ruling for one cancer patient. Of course a dying woman would get it covered. God bless her, shame on the clinic for making her the poster child for nothing more than a single person getting covered.

Another Calmare story.
A friend of mine was on facebook and was told to visit the wonderful dr. clown in jersey. The Chiropractic genus, who would take care of her rsd. She read all the testimonials from his website and he emailed her all the success stories, the date was set. He gave her the price break of a lifetime. She called me so excited. I didn't want to burst her bubble, but I knew her case was complex like mine. I said please talk to you neurologist and cardiologist first. She went into see them both and called me back so upset. Why didn't you tell me. I said, I didn't want to be the one to destroy your false hope. Here are a few facts about NY and NJ law that seem at odds with the Calmare in Staten Island, and New Jersey. Why would these great doctors, helping so many, helping them go broke that is, break the law for patients.

1NY State does allow chiropractors and physical therapists to utilize patient testimonials in their marketing initiatives. In that case, the testimonials cannot be misleading or misrepresentative. Furthermore, consent would have to be obtained from the patient (preferably written which should be part of the patient’s medical record), and there would have to be a disclaimer following the testimonials indicating that the experiences and results can vary among patients.
2 The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, was signed into law on February 17, 2009, to promote the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology. The HITECH Act imposes stricter HIPAA requirements and stiffer penalties for violations.

As I know these wonderful doctors are here on the stock boards, making I am misunderstanding the laws interpretation.

You think I am trying to pump the stock. I basically said.
1. They have no clue how to use it.
2. It is dangerous to real patients with severe nerve damage.
3. CTI inflates the number of units to make it look like there are all these locations, but there is only a handful, that sit in closets.
4. It lists all these places, but the truth is they show the same doctors, who are apparently in 7 locations, which is bull. These are inflated number. Usually they have a few location, but just one machine at one location and it sits in the closet and even the handy man does the treatments. If they find a sucker.
4. It is a big fat fraud, and people who are desperate for help, real people get ripped off. False hope with no real clinical studies that prove anything.
5.I said that if Doctors want to sit in these boards and boast about fake cases that that is one thing. However when they post under fake facebook accounts and use salespeople who are also share holders to claim they are cured. That is criminal in my book. They have a vested interest. They recommend something because they have a vested interest. No when I worked at Bloomberg LP I would never make another trade doing that.
6. They promise insurance coverage, knowing it's not true. And of course want payment upfront and in cash at some places.
7. They make false promises of lowering your pain, and that also is bull. Let's face it any moron, even Conrad Papsmire, to report on old clinical studies that failed and get people to bite.

See I was laid up for awhile awaiting the ability to walk. I am not clear as to why you are claiming the device does not create enough current to make a muscle twitch. It actually if used on a patient who is actually legit, very dangerous.

Everywhere I see information on this complete scam I see the same thing. " Must be treaded by a doctor who was trained." So why is that not the practice?

I see the doctors say, " Never apply device to affected limb." So why do they?

This device is listed as being in all of these many places. I can assure you it is not. Let's take just Staten Island. NY where it is at 6 locations. A 13 x 6 mile Island has 6 locations? But that is not the case. There is just one device, and it's in a closet.

I can go on and on about this. I can show in detail this way all of these retards tie into each other. However at the end of the day. Any claim made about the device, any promotion and inflated numbers, and acceptance and you name it. I can disprove.

It is not only a big waste of money. It is a license to steal from people who are desperate for help. The brokers who pump it who are buddy buddy with the doctors that push it. All of which are reading these posts.

If you want to pump the stock and make money, who cares.

However giving false hope to desperate patients, is disgusting.

Sorry I missed your uneducated response. You obviously have never been treated by this device. Imagine being a patients with severe nerve damage, and having a bad signal placed directly on nerve endings that are already sending constant pain signals to your brain. Before you can rebut a first hand account of not one but several actual patients. I think you should do your homework. The pads of this device should never be placed on a nerve branch that is already sending constant pain signals that result in muscle degeneration, or twitching and spasms. Unless your qualified to make that statement, don't. It is in fact extremely painful for the patient, and for some worsens in the days following. This might be the reason many opt out.

ok now that I replaced the keyboard with apparently non-functioning keys. I wish I could edit. My points are;

1. None of the patients treated were actually treated by a qualified, as per cti, a qualified trained doctor. Two of the 6 actually had to tell the untrained person to stop.

2. None of the patients wanted to continue.

3. Some said it made it worse.

4. In 2 cases the untrained person actually could have caused serious issues for the patients, due to their complete lack of understanding of medical conditions.

5. As far as workers comp and No fault. They will pay for anything to get to the policy limit. And more often will pay anything that will avoid a larger payout like surgery.

Bottom line is, these devices are not being used properly, by untrained people, and are dangerous to uneducated patients. Most tens units have cutoff thresholds to avoid hurting someone. In this case the cutoff is how fast the idiot turning the dial stops.

A whopping 6 people in 4 years.

So I have not found 5 people, other than myself, who have tried this ridiculous nonsense. Of the 6 of us. None have wanted to continue. None had used insurance, all were either No-Fault or free trials. Most importantly, none were treated by an actual doctor, but all were at the same group of doctors at two locations. So we can throw out the training, I mean if a doctor really thought his training was so important, why let anyone in the office do it. No besides myself. 3 of the other 5 stated it made them worse. All 5 of them said the person doing the treatment had no idea what they were doing. No one actually used the leads directly on a RSD patients' affected limbs. Big no-no. I know all the doctors read this, so I doubt this will get answered, however does anyone care to answer?

That is half the states? Looks like all the same areas. Forget about the Military as the VA does not use it in NY or the San Diego Naval Station. They may have bought one at some time. Count the Number of states you just listed as half. In Staten Island there are a ton of locations listed. However just one machine at one location. Another fact. So let's try the this again. If the total number of units sold in the US is not over 25 how could we have half the states? Having a long list that is not accurate is just having a long list. The military units are not in use. The Boca address well google earth that one. CT, and RI, and UT, IL have verified units. as well as NJ. and one location SI, NY. Having a unit does not mean they are using it.

Now I have been trying to keep my mouth closed. However, I was sitting here with my tens on tonight, reading the posts and I see another new clinic notice. Here is what really has me confused. Why do the clinics old and new all open and close in the same states. Why only the same locations. The areas share a few things, high drug abuse, highest drug illegal narcotic sales states, and places where the machine was and seems has just been relocated with another clinic name. There are so many places out there to sell these bad boys, why is it the same places. One set of clinics close, another set opens. Let's say that this helps even a small percentage of people switch to a non-narcotic solution. Which let's face it, many of the drugs make some patients worse if they don't track their meds, they don't realize they are addicted and that they actually are causing themselves more issues. We could do this with Mr. Magoo's magic machine, or magic bubble gum. So let's say it helps some people. Why are the doctors in the other 47 states jumping on board?

These laws are ridiculous. As a pain patient I can only smile when these senseless laws are passed. If they want to stop the narcotics, stop the doctors who prescribe them to people who don't need them. The Doctors who are not pain management and take cash only and give excessive high doses and maximum or over daily amounts to healthy patients who sell them on the streets. These doctors are all over, not accepting insurance, cash only, and in many cases you pay off the front desk just for the appt.

You want to take a bite out of pain killers. Make the insurance companies cover other treatments to seriously ill patients. Most legitimate pain patients would do anything to get off the crap and have a sense of normalcy to their lives. We also don't get a high from these meds. We hardly even get relief, mostly just enough to manage a fraction of a normal day.

I love the name. Actually shows a lot of sack to just go all in on a stock pile of units. It is just a bold last effort to show dedication to a single product that they may or may not be able to sell. For the 200 bucks it cost to change the name why not Conrad. He is a defiant one I will say. Who knows maybe a booth at the local flea market and some good old school door to door sales is on his battle plan. It is like watching a guy at the poker table go all in with a 9 high no hand. It's awesome.

The real shame of this is, if it was something that could help even one person, by being so mismanaged by CTI, it will never gain full support. Conrad should just allow Mr. Frankenfraud to find someone else to market this, and get some real funding behind it. Not back door degenerate funding from people with, less than perfect resumes, to move it to the foreground. At best now it seems we will really never know the real answer as to if it does or does not really help people. We can smash it and bash it all we want, but as a patient, why remove any option from the table due to mismanagement.

Nice lol even I missed that one. That adds to the credibility huh.

Just sit back and wait and see what happens. I do have a question of the original clinics, how many have since stopped offering or dropped Calmare? I would guess it was lack of insurance companies reimbursements?

I don't believe you can get relief from chronic pain from the placebo effect, nor should it even be considered. You either have results from a device and have a measurement that would be set as anywhere from x time during treatment to x time factor after treatment. My point is, why even account for any placebo effect in real neuropathic pain. A patient with long term chronic neuropathic pain would not even consider any placebo effect. Something either works or it does not. I am in agreement.

I am sorry, but in chronic pain there is no placebo effect. If some truly has chronic pain and has suffered daily for any long period of time, you can rule out any placebo effect. That is just ridiculous. The only question to this is how long after do the results if any last. It's does it stick, will it hold. A placebo effect with neuropathic pain is just ridiculous. I can't even imagine anyone in pain could say that is even realistic. You would have to be in a period of pain free, or a remission of sorts. When the tiny things like climate can change your entire pain level in a second, you would need a perfect weather month to have any such placebo effect.

I guess you should learn to read. But I was not born and raised here, but even after 12 years on the Island, I have figured out almost everyone here is a bit slow. Maybe get someone to read for you.

See now you failed to answer a single question. I am very chill.

Now if you understand calmare what would be the outcome for a full body patient?

Your the expert?

What is the success rate?

Common, if you answer I will.

I hold a lot of stock as well as Gold/silver/plat

I hold solid companies with proven track records
I had some success in Tech stocks back in my hay day.
I dabble in Pharma
Had some good success with companies like Andrex before they were acquired.
I have a very solid portfolio


However I do not like what? I have said it before and I will say it again, unless you are unable to retain information.

I hate people who prey on the sick and the weak.

If I had lower morals I would go take pics with Gracie and do an interview with Joey and get some free worthless treatments, some stock, and rob people by telling them they have to pay up front and they will get reimbursed by insurance, when they know its a fraud.

I am. I said the smartass part was about buying up the stock. What's your point? Or do you even have a point? Or are you here to dribble everything cttc tells you to dribble? What's your point. I will always be in chronic pain. What is the relevance? Are you still trying to spout the corporate jargon. Are you the puppet? What is your role. Do you have any other holdings. Or just one shit penny stock going bankrupt. Will you continue to talk even after I am gone and calmare is on ebay and craigslist? What is inaccurate is the statistics you spout over and over. Whenever someone goes against calmare anywhere you jump all over them. In 7 years why only a handful of the success stories are you still spouting. Mind you, success means getting constant tens for ever and still being in pain. While draining the bank accounts of desperate people. I don't understand your actual purpose. Why do the unsuccessful stories not go up on you tube. Try honesty. Stop lying about Medicaid and 80 percent and BS you have no clue about. Stop calling an OB/GYN and Chiropractor's, successful pain management doctors. Stop mumbling about how all the clinics opening up when they are all owned by the same groups. What about all the clinics from 7 years ago that have dropped calmare. Speak facts. Or do you know any? Fact is you don't. Go get another booster and have a day of happiness. You can get an epi block and have a day off. BTW suicide is also another false statement. It only comes into play once a patient has reached advanced stages. I mean good God, do we just disregard the truth and follow the babblings of cttc's what new CEO, CTO, Treasure, and whatever other roles he fills. Paying legal bills with shares not cash. getting into bed with criminals. Should we really ignore all that? Just because you post an occasional single limb patient who had pain relief while hooked up to a big tens unit. Do you think every single person is that dumb.

I was just being a smartass. I would not touch this crud. I think Fife will take care of it for me.

I could just buy up a controlling share of this be company for just a fraction of the cost in convertibles and shut it down and sell off the room full of unsold crap. Nah that will work I am sure they have yet to pay for the inventory.

No Gracie it's more true then your story. In waiting room now. What patients are you helping on investor hub? Who is really the fraud? Or is this Joey and Gracie is powderbum. Who care your both idiots. God bless you for helping all the chronically ill investors. Btw your shares are dilluted to nothing at this point. I might just buy 51 percent and take possession of the stockpile of unsold crap and sell it off for pennies on the dollar. But wait I can do that at about 30 percent of the price by convertibles. Btw why so many of the few patients always end up holding your hand . Sweet you are and phoney as well.

I guess the down is a sign of growth. Say goodnight to Gracie and Joey and all the rest for me.

If Calmare was Useful, I would rather see it in the hands of a Company that could bring it to market. Not a sham of a BS company and with the right qualified doctors using it. Not any dip with enough money to buy one and not enough training to really use one. I know more about tens units then they do. Let's be for real. Norm the expert is not even a doctor. Then there is the OB/GYN and the Chiropractor, who hmmm, yeah not a doctor. A couple of doctors with degrees from third would countries. Which I guess is better than nothing here in the US. As they get crap from insurance and get paid less then sanitation workers.

Imagine looking in your children's faces while they watch you twist in pain and suffer. Imagine it was someone in your family. We hate it when someone takes advantage of the elderly. How about the sick. The really sick. Who become desperate for help. If no one else will watch over them I will.

Minister Bill

Now you know who I am

Your damn right I am. And I am already doing it at a discounted 75 per visit. I am going to keep outing people who prey on the week. Those who take money from poor desperate people. It is shameless. And like I said if it worked at all I would still be against the companies tactics of using fake people who claim to have a horrible disease that is killing others, including me. That is down right disgusting. If they were faking cancer the world would be outraged. This is more painful then cancer and yet you find that to be ok. You obviously have no morals. BTW: Joey for the other poster is a fraud and a share holder, and a degenerate. He is the worst of the worst. He claims the money is to put calmare literature in doctors offices with that money. Now why would they need literature if CTI was doing their job. Oh wait he is, with others money. Sham Sham. One last thing. I am a Christian Minister. I do not believe that what they are doing is morally comprehendible. If you do, there is a special place for you.

Today I had the pleasure of outing another cttc sales monger on facebook.

Profile
Sarah Elizabeth aka Sarah Word

She has had a horrible time with rampid rsd showing pictures of beat up feet and all kinds of surgeries. Before she blocked me I was able to get her full horrible story. It was then I heard her say she was doing calmare. I said wow me too, but I was worried. She told me to call norm black. I said why would I call a hedge fund guy and not a doctor. I collected all of the pictures from her profile which cmon make it a bit harder for me. She told me I should run to the spero clinic and talk to norm. When I asked a bit more she talked, once she figured out I was not bait she left the group and blocked me. Yes of course I have both her horrible condition and the pictures of her in the same time frames running and playing without a care in the world.

I at least get one a day now. CMon CTTC you have to try harder, you must know we are working in teams now outing your people.

No we have crossed paths in other forums. I just am not using my usual screen name here it was already taken. Good luck. I will post back for now I am just going to sit back awhile and see where this goes.

You know who I am now right.

The protocol is that you should have a decrease in pain as soon as its turned on, protocol is that you should have sustained gains after 3 treatments, under the information I was given by the doctor. My leg which is under treatment is an has never been below a 6, I live in an 8 on that limb. I consider a 10 to be when I am in enough pain to where I pass out. And I have had a ten several times, total loss of conscience, due to pain. I am trying to achieve a 6 or better, which for a man of my overall health prior to this, should be able to handle. Now you must also consider the hardware factor as I call it. My leg pain still emulates from my back, that is why they don't want me doing calmare and consider doing ketamine. Now I am a single father, with kids who need me at home. I can't risk ketamine. So for me this is grasping at straws. I will report back after all is said and done, I would rather be done and be a week to two after. I am not down on calmare, I just know its a tens unit. I am down on cttc because it is all a fraud and it is spouted to suffering people through social media who claim it has cured them. You pay cash and find out that person is just a poster child sales rep. And I call that a scam. Period.

I'm am going in Staten Island have been with the only provider there.

Not to mention my doc told me I would be better of doing ketamine.

You know who I am and I know who you are conix. You know where I am going. Why the games? Come out and let's talk. You know who my doctor is. In NY.

I am doing calmare on one leg and using a empi 300 tens unit on the other leg. I am doing this for myself to see which gives me better results on the limb. I have actually had success with the tens as lead placement is very important. I am very aware of where my trigger points are and am putting a lot of work into at the very least trying to walk under my own strength. I have full body RSD/CRPS as well as failed neck and back surgery. I don't expect miracles from anything. I have internal organ involvement already so I am just looking for quality of life. But I can't overlook the fact that this is still a poorly run company full of SEC violators backed or now not backed by a want to be professor with no credentials. Just consider, every doctor along the way has made a promise they have not kept. I look at everything from every angle now.

It would be impossible to look past CTTC's checkered past, poor leadership, and let's face it, not so credible sales people who are posing as patients, before we even look at the fact that the studies failed, the sales reports are not true, the professor is blocking sales, the professor, is not a professor. I can repackage my tens unit and tell you it makes brain cells grow, get it past the fda, as a MDA and try to sell it on ebay and have more success.

bad link cmon you can do better then that.

His study was on what shingles patients with what scores, read the actual study and stop spouting half written reports from cttc. He is •Professor of Oncology at Hopkins. Your looking at a news article from 2010 when he was at Massey. Read the actual pilot trial and post back. Stop with the sales pitch. It's over. fife is in now to gobble up the equipment that they can't sell and he paid pennies on the dollar for it and he will walk away dumping the machines in a secondary market now that professor dingle dorf has blocked sales. Good luck with your shares. Have a nice day. Try botox, that works for pain also, I can show you clinical trials for that as well,

I more note to add as I have really wasted way to much of my crippled painful life on this mess already. I don't know which one of the Facebook users you are that your defending it so hard, and this is I guess the only stock you own.

Calmare doctors are using free treatments to certain criteria patients in exchange for them promoting and becoming sales reps for CTI. This is not a surprise to me but I will give you a few examples.

Deena Lotridge (knee Patient who could use tens)
Amanda Siebe (ankle patient who could use tens)
Gracie Gean ( Who can forget her, Shareholder and Sales wrist patient maybe)
joseph Aquilino (Shareholder and maybe a hand patient, radio blog, and sales rep, and who could be consider retarded by national standards)

Now there are others who claim they have used it, but there is no actual proof they are real people, these people do in fact use it. Their treatment is continuous and free. It is continuous why? Because they are using a giant tens unit that would be used in physical therapy. They are also all type 1 patients.

Calmare's claim of 80 percent is a made up number.

About your 80 percent 20 percent numbers
Which are grabbed out of a hat.
Lets start with RSD/CRPS

It does not work on any type 2 patients ( Which is over 46 percent of RSD/CRPS patients) This is a fact

It does not work for cancer patients

It does not work on peripheral Neuropathy patients ( which is a very high percentage of type 1 RSD/CRPS patients)

So it works on 80 percent of what? The 5 percent of type one patients with muscle damage to a foot that could be treated with a tens unit anyway?

Before photos? Any patient that has these has some? I have many videos and photos of the effected limbs discoloration, muscle atrophy, swelling, anything. Just show me that story? Like I said show me? Make me a believer? I want to believe in it.
