I have tried them and find them disappointing: you substitute your pain for an electrical charge - yet the pain persists. Worst of all, if you turn funny while the leads are active, you can get painful electrical shocks shooting through your pained areas! I found it much more trouble than it was worth. Hope this helps... --=[[ Shoshona ]]=-- -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!103!102!Shoshona.Bieman Internet: Shoshona.Bieman@f102.n103.z1.fidonet.org
