The null hypothesis is that a cheap boring warm spot lamp would work
just as well but without putting money into the Biotron coffers.
I can't find anything much about it in reputable publications only on
quack medicine sites on the web. Why am I not surprised...
Still the brand name sounds reassuringly medical so that's all right.
And as long as it is only used to cheat the worried well out of their
hard earned cash it is fairly harmless. It gets really serious when
people refuse effective medication and rely on bogus quackery...

I would have a word with your GP about it. They will have heard of it
- rather like the Tens machine it crosses the two poles of
conventional and alternative. Also check out the Tissue repair unit at
Guys they have collected data on the efficacy of this instrument.
I would be more inclined to talk to trading standards.

certified under the International Quality Standard ISO 9001:2000 and
ISO 13485. fulfils all regulations under the medical directive
93/42/EEC of the European Community.
All that says is that they have an ISO certificate on the wall and have
written procedures for how to most effectively rip off the punters.
It says nothing at all about the efficacy of the device or the honesty
of any claims made about it. What is your connection with Biotron?

None. I am disabled with PSP so I can't work. I am often offered
alternative treatment for free and always check up to see if I can
find any dirt or deception reports on the products in question. I have
never found any on this item - check yourself . All I have seen is
your opinion. I am trying one at the moment it is well spoken of in
some of the medical forums. I find people fall into extremes of view
on anything in the "complementary medical field" I don't think either
approach helps. If you are diagnosed with an 'incurable' disease I
think the best approach is to try other options but approach
realistically with some research so as not to get 'ripped off'. Why
accept a totally negative prognosis? I have friends who are in western
biochemical research and i think the crux of the matter was summed up
by one a drug company statistician who said " you tell me what you
want to prove and I'll prove it". If you go into the logics of
statistics you will find very little solid ground. SO I have done very
thorough internet searches on this product ( its been around for a
long time and they are high profile - sponsoring motor racing) and I
can't find any negative reports. If you have found such I would be
happy to see them
