I fell from a building, an accident that forever altered the course of our family’s life. After five surgeries, I was left no ankles, 100% disabled and living with chronic pain in my ankles & chronic swelling in my Legs. Years later, in 2015, I was diagnosed with cancer. These experiences challenged me in ways I could never have imagined, but they also strengthened my determination to keep searching for better ways to support our health, our future, and our financial well-being. Through every chapter, Char has been by my side. Our family remains my greatest motivation and the reason I continue to learn, grow, and look for better answers.

For 26 years, I dealt with chronic pain in my ankles, neuropathy in my feet, and swelling in my legs. I used a cane and tried just about everything for relief—from prescription medications, cortisone shots, and over-the-counter pain pills to essential oils, CBD creams, THC gummies, compression socks, and leg compression devices.

Unfortunately, nothing really gave me the relief I was looking for.

Most evenings, I would lie on the couch with my feet straight up in the air, trying to get the swelling and pain under control. I had to think about my pain before doing almost anything. If I thought something might make it worse, I simply wouldn't do it. I missed weddings, graduation parties, family gatherings, and many other things. Eventually, I became a stay-at-home hermit—not because I wanted to, but because it was easier than dealing with the pain.

In March of 2023, my friend Ann from church called and said she had something she thought might help.

I was very skeptical. After trying so many things with little success, I wasn't expecting much. But I reluctantly agreed to try the technology.

During the first six weeks, I noticed some small changes. The arthritis in my hands and back didn't seem as bad, my skin looked better, and I noticed changes in scars, blemishes, and even the appearance of my face.

In May, after spending a long day re-siding our house, I was in a tremendous amount of pain.

I asked Char if she had anything that might help. She reminded me that the only thing we had was the pain patches we'd bought about a month earlier. I told her, "I'll try anything." I honestly didn't expect the patches to do much.

I put the first one on the worst spot on my right ankle. And almost immediately, I couldn't believe what I was feeling. For the first time in 26 years, I felt like something was actually happening. The pain began to change, and I could feel relief coming over that area of my ankle. I was shocked.

That moment changed everything for me. I went from being completely skeptical to wondering what might be possible if I continued using them. For 26 years, pain had dictated my life—where I went, what I did, and whether I could leave the house. Now, I feel like I'm getting my life back that I thought I'd lost forever.
