Keeping in the spirit of Thanksgiving, here is why I'm thankful for Lifewave. Lifewave has made a big difference in my life this year, and I feel thankful to be alive.
1) A shoulder blade pain I've had every day for six years resolved from the Icewave pain patches.
2) My energy used to be so low that I barely felt alive. Now, I get through my day without naps.
3) I used to not sleep well at night. I would have panic attacks related to going to bed. Now, i sleep well all night without waking, and I feel well rested in the morning.
4) I've used the SP6 Complete system for weight loss and I've lost 50 pounds. It feels wonderful!
5) With the SP6 patch, my cravings for certain foods are now manageable.
6) I'm having some of the best workouts of my life. I get through them while not feeling fatigued. I get more out of my workouts.
7) The glutathione patch has made my skin unbelievably smooth. I don't get sick very often anymore either.
8) Certain scars on my body have lessened since using the carnosine patch.
9) Blemishes that I've had since I was a teenager have cleared up. Having clear skin is extremely exciting.
10) The X 15 patch is the best of them all and it comes out in January! I can't wait!

A Message From Our Health and Science Director
Dear LifeWave Family Members,
Chronic pain is a major health issue, affecting more than 750 million people worldwide. To put it in perspective that’s greater than all the people suffering from heart disease, diabetes and cancer combined. So this is a significant problem. After six years of customer use and dozens of studies, we know that our IceWave patches are an effective means of controlling chronic pain. The question is: how can you get maximum results from IceWave? This is something I get asked a lot and so I’d like to share some tips with you.
IceWave is very easy to use. The patches come in a set of two, a brown patch (negative) and white patch (positive). Place the tan patch on the source of pain and place the white patch a few inches above the tan. Initially, I recommended taping the white patch on as opposed to removing the adhesive backing. If you don’t find pain relief after 10-15 seconds move it to the right, then below and then left, repeating the process. This is nothing new to most of you. It’s the cross method and you are probably already familiar with it.
But, I will tell you something you might not know and something that has helped me get results with IceWave. You need to be persistent. If you do not achieve pain relief with the above method, take another step. Move the white patches out a few inches and start the process again. There have been times when I’ve moved the white patch 15 to 20 times before achieving results. But when you do hit on that one spot that gives pain relief, it can be quite dramatic.
This is the simplest technique for using IceWave patches. Another, more advanced, method involves placing the patches on acupuncture points. You don’t have to be an acupuncturist to do this. Simply look at an acupuncture meridian chart (you can find one online), find a meridian that runs through the pain and place one patch on an acupuncture point above the pain and the other patch on an acupuncture point below the painful area.
Finally, a third technique you can use is the bracketing method, a technique in which you bracket the pain by placing the patches to the right and left, above and below or diagonally. You may find that you need to move the patches anywhere from one to 12 inches away from each other before you strike on an effective placement.
Now, keep in mind that in order for any of the above techniques to be effective, the subject must be hydrated. As we have worked with this technology over the years, we have found that hydration is the most important and critical factor in determining whether a person is going to respond to the patches.
So, there are many strategies you can use with IceWave. Our brochures and websites will help you work through these. But the thing to keep in mind is that you want to be persistent. If you are, you will find that you can get most people out of pain.
Sincerely,
Steven Haltiwanger, MD, CCN

Exploring the Lifewave Patches: Icewave (Pain Patches)
The second Lifewave patch we're going to explore is the Icewave patches. These are the patches that give immediate pain relief for all sorts of pains, usually within 10 seconds.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, pain is considered blocked energy. If the energy can become unblocked, the pain can go away. This is why acupuncture is often very effective at relieving pain. The Icewave pain patches work very similarly to acupuncture since they communicate with the subtle energy system of the body.
Like the Energy Enhancer patches, the Icewave pain patches work in pairs of two. The tan patch goes on the pain and the white patch goes either on the sternum or at a point of relief around the tan patch. A detailed brochure comes with every patch purchase, however, sometimes patching for certain areas of pain can be tricky. The key is not to give up and utilize our help.
This amazing technology can help with:
Obviously, the patches can help with all types of pain. If you're in having any sort of pain, we understand how debilitating pain can be. There's really nothing to lose because the patches come with a 30 day guarantee, so why not give them a try.

Lifewave X 15 Patch Update
Some may know that we have been trying the new X 15 patches for the past few weeks, so today, I thought to include an update on how we like them.
I can say without a doubt that this is my favorite patch yet. Here are some of the things I notice about this patch.
More Energy Than With The Energy Patches: I love the energy patches, don't get me wrong, but this patch blows those patches out of the water. The X 15 patch gives me substantially more energy than the energy patches. For me, the effectiveness of the X 15 patch lasts about four days before I have to change to a new one. Not only do I have more energy during the day, but I don't have to take the X 15 patch off at night because it doesn't keep me awake. Last night, we got in late. I had the task of then putting my kids to bed, which normally, used to be a difficult time for me because I was so exhausted. Not only was I not even one bit tired, I bounded up the stairs when we got home. Once at the top, being completely NOT winded, I realized what I had done. I have no idea what spurred me to do that, but this is coming from someone who was too stiff to go up and down the stairs quickly just a few short months ago.
X 15 Patches Elevate My Mood: Now, this is very interesting. I try to be in a good mood most of the time, and I don't really consider myself a moody person, however, I do worry a lot, have some chronic stress, and anxiety that I am trying to manage. I had no idea the X 15 patch would effect these things. I notice, though, that when I'm wearing the X 15 patch, I'm in a better mood. I just feel more peaceful, balanced, centered, and happy. Life feels good, like everything I worry about will work out fine. I notice myself not reacting to stressors in as large of a way. Things just roll off my back more. Now, this patch, of course, doesn't change my personality. That's not what I mean. I'm still me. I still have the same beliefs, passions, and opinions. I could see this patch being extremely helpful for those suffering from mood related disorders.
Pain Relief: My body does not have aches and pains when I wear this patch. I am currently working to permanently rid myself of chronic shoulder blade pain. The issue I am working with will take some time to permanently heal, so I've been using the pain or energy patches on very specific meridian points to alleviate this pain. However, now that I've been wearing the X 15 patch, I don't have to use the pain or energy patches for that purpose anymore. The X 15 patch is used in a location completely different than where I place the pain or energy patches, yet it does a better and more permanent job of relieving that pesky pain. I can always tell when I need a new X 15 patch because that pain starts to creep back slightly.
The Location: I love where the location of this patch goes. It goes two inches below my belly button. There's several other recommended locations, but this placement is so convenient. For the most part, no one knows it's there. It never falls off. I love the energy patches, but some of the locations I use them are inconvenient because they either fall off after not so much use or they're on visible parts of my body. I don't really mind this because I like the questions I get (it's a great conversation starter), but sometimes, having them hidden is nice, and I know there are a lot of people out there who don't want the patches to be seen by others.
Stiffness Goes Away: I used to be very stiff. I feel this going away. I feel as though the inflammation I have is going away. I feel my body being more loose and limber. I feel I can move around with more ease and quicker too. Being much too young to be experiencing what I was, it feels so nice to have immediate relief like this. I find myself jumping up and down from the couch. It's just simply easier to move around.
What can I say? I love this patch. I feel myself entering a better place in life, a place where I can easily take care of my kids, running and playing with them, bending and cleaning with ease, relieving chronic pains, feeling happier and better about life. This is how I want to live my life, and if I have to wear a patch two inches below my belly button daily right now to live this way, then that's just what I'll do.
The patches will be available in January. I cannot wait!

How To Get Rid Of Chronic Shoulder Blade Pain
I have struggled with a chronic back pain between my shoulder blades for the past 6 years. It was there all the time, severely affecting the quality of my life. The pain mainly affected how I was able to sit. There were times when I literally felt my mind was going crazy from trying to manage the pain.
Over the years, I have been to over five chiropractors, two acupuncturists, a physical therapist, and a rolfer. I have tried everything I know how to do. Now, I’m not knocking any of those professions. On the contrary, they were all helpful in one way or another, but none of them were able to relieve me of that pain permanently. I didn’t just want to manage that pain (which I wasn’t very successful at doing anyway), I wanted to live with it completely gone to where it never had to be on my mind.
When I found the Lifewave patches, I was at the end of my rope. I was so sick of being in pain all the time. Acupuncture had relieved my pain once, but the acupuncturist I went to was never able to duplicate those results. I love rolfing, which did a great number of things for my body, but that darn shoulder blade pain still didn’t go away.
The pain had been there since I had given birth to my first child. Literally since the day he was born, that pain had persisted everyday. The pain was in my left shoulder blade, that muscle running right alongside the shoulder blade. That muscle was always knotted and tight. I was miserable.
When I got my hands on the pain patches, I was more than eager to try them. And to my disappointment, I can be honest in saying, I could not get them to work on that pain the first few tries. I felt so frustrated because I knew the patches worked. I had used the pain patches on other pains, and they worked wonders. The other types of patches worked for me too. The SP6 patch has relieved some of my worst cravings. It helps me control my appetite. The energy patches make my life so much better, and I were them everyday because they make such a difference. Since wearing the Y Age, my skin has cleared up and become so soft.
I really could sing the praises of these patches all day, so then why couldn’t I get the pain patch to work. I was so disappointed. I was trying putting the patch on my pain, while moving the other patch around in the clock method as described in the brochure. Sometimes, this would very subtly relieve the pain, but never completely. I only got the pain to go away one time in which the tan patch was on the pain and the white patch was on my sternum, but the spot was extremely specific, took a long time for me to get right, and I never was able to duplicate it.
I enjoying patching people for pain. I’ve never had someone as hard to patch as I was for this back pain. I decided to go to my sponsor for some help. She’s an acupuncturist. She started testing different meridians in my body with the patches since the patches do work very similarly to acupunture. We found by use of the patches that my pain would go away whenever the patch was on the gallbladder meridian.
“I think it’s your gallbladder,” she said.
Really, my gallbladder. Apparently, the gallbladder can refer pain to the areas between the shoulder blades. Not one other health care professional had been able to help me determine this. She gave me a gallbladder cleanse I could do at home.
The gallbladder cleanse takes some time. Doing it only once doesn’t necessarily relieve symptoms permanently, and it didn’t for me. I realized I was in it for a long haul, but I was willing to do anything.
There were times I had trouble duplicating the results of my sponsor at home. Sometimes, my pain would get relieved, and sometimes, I just couldn’t seem to find the right spot. I then learned that often times the feet are a great location to patch because they are at the end of a meridian, which can be really affective. People have relieved their headaches from the feet! It still didn’t dawn on me at that point that I should try it.
It wasn’t until I decided to do a certain protocol with the energy patches to balance the energy in my body by stimulating acupoints did I finally figure it out. We offer a slide show on our website called Anti-aging that details this protocol. If interested, click here.
So, I decided to try this protocol. I went through the five day protocol and realized the day I wore the patches on my feet, I didn’t experience that back pain. Hmm. I pulled out my slide show notes, flipped to that page, and guess which meridians I was on for that day with my feet. Liver/gallbladder (which work together by the way). Ah ha! I knew I had found my answer.
I now wear the patches on my feet every day all the time. I can use both energy or pain on my feet to relieve my painful back symptoms because they work very similarly and are therefore both effective. That’s actually how the pain patch got created because people were reporting pain relief while wearing the energy patches. I still do my gallbladder cleanse every two weeks as directed and eventually I believe this pain I’ve dealt with for so long will be completely gone. Until that happens though, I have my patches.
I sat last night watching fireworks, on the ground without back support for over an hour, and not once did I experience that pain. This has never once been possible in the entire six years I’ve experienced this pain.
I have never felt so thankful because the patches are how we discovered this pain was related to my gallbladder. Multiple professionals in various disciplines couldn’t even tell me that. My entire point of this post is that the patches do work, they can do miraculous things, and that sometimes the key is to find the right location. I firmly believe these patches can work for just about anyone, but as in my case, sometimes it takes a little work.
If you need help patching, please don’t hesitate to contact us at blitzthewave@gmail.com. Getting proper placement is important. It could very well increase the quality of your life.

New Patch Placements For Headaches
It’s old news that Lifewave’s Icewave pain patch can get rid of headaches within moments. It’s still miraculous each time it happens though.
I don’t get headaches all too often, thankfully. When I do get headaches, they usually aren’t that bad. However, one day recently, I had a headache, and it was bad.
It was in the evening, and I had work to get done, so I didn’t want to waste the whole night by having to go to bed early. I have to make the most out of my time once my kids are in bed.
So, I decided to place some Icewave patches. I couldn’t get much of anything done because the pain was so great. I put the white patch on my right temple and the tan patch on my left temple. This is the most common placement for headaches. I waited. Nothing happened. Okay…
So, I moved them around a bit. I put the tan patch on my pain and moved the white patch around the tan one in the clock like pattern, which is also found in the Icewave instructions. Again, nothing. It may have even made my pain a little worse. Next, I swapped the white and tan patches and began moving the tan patch around the white. Still nothing.
I didn’t get frustrated, and I didn’t give up. I knew I was well hydrated (an important component in getting the patches to work properly). I started to think about where the pain was coming from. Where was my headache stemming from. I finally figured it was coming from the back of my neck. Now, the pain wasn’t actually in the back of my neck. But the back of my neck was really tight and causing a lot of tension, so I thought perhaps it would be related to my headache.
I was right.
I placed a white patch on my right and a tan patch on my left side. I placed them way on the back of my neck, centered, but right up by the base of my skull. It was so high up, the patches were in my hair line. The pain lessened considerably right away. I can’t say all the pain went away completely, but it became so low that I could concentrate and get my things done. The pain was so low, it was really only noticeable if I concentrated on it.
Once it was time for bed, I went upstairs and decided to take the patches off for bedtime. I figured I wouldn’t need them since I was just going to sleep. I pulled the patches off in the bathroom (yeah, ouch because they were actually in my hair), and as soon as I had removed the patches, my headache came back with this incredibly strong whoosh of pain. That’s all I can describe it as: a whoosh. For a few moments, I had extremely strong pain in which my head felt like it might explode. I considered putting the patches on and sleeping with them. The pain went away a little bit after that initial swell of pain, so I just went to bed.
I won’t ever forget this experience though. It was very clear to me that the patches had been working to relieve my pain.
Moral of the story: A good placement for certain headaches can also be the back of the neck, right on the muscles as close as possible to the bones where the skull begins. Send me an email if you need help placing the patches on your pain: blitzthewave@gmail.com.

It may have even made my pain a little worse. Next, I swapped the white and tan patches and began moving the tan patch around the white. Still nothing.
I didn’t get frustrated, and I didn’t give up. I knew I was well hydrated (an important component in getting the patches to work properly). I started to think about where the pain was coming from. Where was my headache stemming from. I finally figured it was coming from the back of my neck. Now, the pain wasn’t actually in the back of my neck. But the back of my neck was really tight and causing a lot of tension, so I thought perhaps it would be related to my headache.
I was right.
I placed a white patch on my right and a tan patch on my left side. I placed them way on the back of my neck, centered, but right up by the base of my skull. It was so high up, the patches were in my hair line. The pain lessened considerably right away. I can’t say all the pain went away completely, but it became so low that I could concentrate and get my things done. The pain was so low, it was really only noticeable if I concentrated on it.
Once it was time for bed, I went upstairs and decided to take the patches off for bedtime. I figured I wouldn’t need them since I was just going to sleep. I pulled the patches off in the bathroom (yeah, ouch because they were actually in my hair), and as soon as I had removed the patches, my headache came back with this incredibly strong whoosh of pain. That’s all I can describe it as: a whoosh. For a few moments, I had extremely strong pain in which my head felt like it might explode. I considered putting the patches on and sleeping with them. The pain went away a little bit after that initial swell of pain, so I just went to bed.
I won’t ever forget this experience though. It was very clear to me that the patches had been working to relieve my pain.
Moral of the story: A good placement for certain headaches can also be the back of the neck, right on the muscles as close as possible to the bones where the skull begins. Send me an email if you need help placing the patches on your pain: blitzthewave@gmail.com.
