The Wet Cell Device
Wet Cell Device - The device that creates an electromagnetic field that stimulates the nerve cells back into action. Basically, it's a plastic tub about the size of a bucket of chicken, fill it 3/4 full with distilled water, then stir in a bunch of chemicals that you heard about in chemistry class. The lid to the bucket has two metal rods that reach from the top of the bucket almost to the bottom of the bucket. Each rod has a place to attach a wire. Each wire runs to a small metal cup. One cup is taped to Marcy's back (on her spine) and the other is taped to Marcy's abdomen. For half an hour, Marcy lays on her back with these attached and relaxes while listening to a self healing audio cassette tape. Small electric impulses travel through her body, stimulating nerve cells into "talking" to the muscle cells. Anyway, after half an hour of the wet cell, I massage Marcy's muscles for half an hour. I follow specific instructions from Atkinson and use massage oil "prescribed" by the program. We used this device every day for the first 9 months after diagnosis. We truly don't know if it helped delay the progression or if it was a waste of time.
