| Varicose vein sores Barend Nel from Bloemfontein suffered from varicose vein sores on his legs for many years. Poor blood circulation caused these sores, which would take up to six months to heal. He even went to a clinic for specialised treatment. Unfortunately, these extremely painful sores always returned, until he tried Genesen Acutouch. After nine treatments with the Acutouch Pointers, Barend was full of praise for the Pointers. The sores healed from the inside, and the dark unhealthy colour of his ankle lightened. "I can even sleep again because the pain is so much better," he says. Gideon Potgieter is well known in Potgietersrus, where he has been running a scrapyard for years. He is very physical and active, and the varicose vein sores on his lower right leg were giving him a lot of trouble. As the one sore healed, another took its place. The cause of these sores — poor blood circulation — is genetic. He tells that his whole family is affected by poor blood circulation. Gideon tried everything he could get his hands on, from the newest medical cures to old superstitions. The pain in the leg became unbearable, and he was unable to do his work properly. He decided to amputate the leg. But after a meeting with his wife and daughters, he decided to give the pens a try. The treatment worked. The sores healed to the extent that his leg was saved from amputation, and he could go back to work. Today he knows that Genesen Acutouch gave him back his leg. Babs du Preez is 69 years old and has been a diabetic for the last 25 years. For the last 5 years she had trouble with circulation in her legs. Loss of feeling and swelling caused her difficulty in moving around. She was unable to move her left leg. She heard about Acutouch and decided to give it a try. After the first treatment she could feel her toes, and after seven treatments she was able to put on normal shoes and walk around freely. Even the colour came back to her legs as the circulation improved. The writing was on the wall for Stylianos Michalakos of Hoopstad. The poor circulation in his foot led to gangrene and four doctors in Bloemfontein and two in Greece all said that the toes, and even the whole foot would have to be amputated. Stylianos hadn't realised the impact of the death of his wife on his own health, until he was diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic. The diabetes caused the poor circulation in his legs, resulting in open sores. On a visit to Greece his condition became worse, and he was hospitalised. On his return he was immediately taken in at a private clinic in Bloemfontein, but the prognosis was very bad. They would have to amputate. But his stubborn attitude probably saved his life. He came into contact with Acutouch through a relative and started therapy immediately. There were visible signs of improvement after the first treatment. Stylianos and his son went back to Hoopstad and continued the therapy. After a month of intensive treatment, the sores started to heal, and his health improved considerably. Stylianos has visited Greece since his recovery, and has even been seen dancing in the taverns! Hannie Jacobs (81) from Bloemfontein used to spend in excess of R400 a month on painkillers. But thanks to Acutouch, the her painful feet are now better. Her feet used to be blue and full of sores, but are now pink, and the pain and suffering is something of the past. (This is after her doctors found no pulse in her foot and said that plastic arteries or amputation were the only options!) After two weeks of treatment with the Acutouch Pointers, her pulse was back to normal. "I feel much better," she says. "There are no longer sores on my toes and I walk a lot better. I believe in the pens. They gave me back my health and I would recommend them to anyone." All real-life stories |

| Meniere's syndrome Hetta Essakow is a 64-year-old housewife who suffered from Meniere's syndrome for 10 years. "I was permanently dizzy and couldn't keep my balance." She tried everything, the one tablet after the other. Eventually she made contact with a physiotherapist and started Acutouch treatment. After the third treatment she experienced relief. Hetta went for a further ten treatments in the first week and after three weeks she recovered completely. She is still under treatment, but only once a month for maintenance. "I am completely healthy now, but I won't hesitate for a moment to go back for more treatment if I need it. I can't actually believe it, but the proof is there!" Hans van den Breggen, a heavy smoker, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease 15 years ago. In 1994 he had to retire for medical reasons. His diagnosis was later changed to Postural Tremors. He started to lose his hearing and was diagnosed with Meniere's syndrome. Hans' condition was quite severe before he started with the Acutouch treatment. He was on medication that could control the symptoms to an extent, but the dosage had to be increased regularly. He started Acutouch treatment in January 2000. He initially felt worse, but his body started to detoxify. After a week he started to feel better. Tests after a follow-up visit to his doctor revealed that all the signs of Meniere's syndrome were gone. His medication was reduced substantially. Two months later all his symptoms had disappeared, even the tremors subsided completely. He keeps up the maintenance formula as his only treatment. Sinusitis "Life is great, I can smell and breathe again," laughs 42-year-old Bennie Bell. Bennie's miraculous recovery from chronic sinusitis started in November 1999 when he visited friends whose friendly cats triggered a sinus attack. Within minutes his nose was blocked, he was sneezing and he had pain behind his eyes. It made him anxious and uncomfortable, and he wanted to leave immediately, but his friend stopped him and suggested he try her new set of Acutouch Pointers. He felt immediate relief when the Pointers were put on his sinuses, but he didn't give it a second thought, having tried everything on the market and only experiencing short-term relief. But when he got home later and realised that his nose was still open, he bought himself a set. He used the Pointers religiously for two weeks, and claims that he was completely cured. The Pointers helped the whole family. Bennie gave up smoking days after using the Pointers, his wife Esme got relief from anxiety attacks, and his sons treated themselves for numerous sports injuries. Acutouch Therapy definitely improved the standard of living of the Bell family. "I suffered from chronic sinusitis for as long as I can remember." These are the words of Sandra Venter, a 53-year-old housewife from Potgietersrus. She had immediate relief from her sinusitis after only one treatment with the Acutouch Pointers. Ian Duffield suffered from sinusitis for as long as he can remember. He had a series of operations, but only had short-term success. In 2001, he returned from Tanzania to South Africa, and the August climate and pollution was just too much for his sinuses. He experienced symptoms he thought were a heavy bout of flu. He started Acutouch therapy and his condition deteriorated for the first three days, but knowing that conditions sometimes have to get worse to get better, Ian bravely continued the treatment. To everyone's amazement, there was a reversal, and slowly but surely after a week of suffering a runny nose, Ian realised that it wasn't an ordinary runny nose, but that his sinus cavities were draining. After three weeks his sinuses dried up, and long lasting relief was the ultimate effect. Ian knows that he has to continue with the maintenance formula to keep the problem under control. Deafness and tinnitus Pharmacist Braham Schmidt was struck with deafness in his right ear in the late 90s. This was caused by a bout of chicken pox at the age of 56. He recovered from the sickness, but his hearing was severely affected. It improved a little from -110%, but he remained 75% deaf. It was ironic that as a pharmacist, he sold hearing aids, and now he had to wear one himself. He also had permanent tinnitus, a condition that causes wheezing in the ears, and according to Braham, is worse to live with than deafness. Braham heard about Acutouch Therapy from a friend and decided to give it a try. He recalls that he was extremely dizzy after the first application: "I could hardly talk and it scared me, but I could feel that something was happening." After the third treatment he purchased his own set, and four months later his hearing returned. Braham tells that he can even hear the sound of his tires on the tarmac. He doesn't have to turn his head anymore to listen to the finer sounds of music. Deafness Mrs. C.'s hearing difficulty started with a minor loss of hearing, and she went to her local doctor. He suggested that the wax in her ears be medically removed by water. There were complications during the procedure, which made matters even worse. Mrs. C. became completely deaf in the right ear and left with 20% hearing in the other. Three weeks of constant treatment with Acutouch restored her hearing up to 90% in both ears. During this time, she developed inflammation in her sinus and nose area, which healed after 3 days of treatment. |

| Depression Ansu-Marie van der Walt is a matric pupil that has been diagnosed with major depression. Her parents were beside themselves with worry because of her unstable moods and behaviour. By chance Ansu-Marie and her father visited a physiotherapist who suggested treatment with the Acutouch Pointers. Months of psychiatric treatment and medication hadn't helped much, but after a month of treatment with the Pointers there was a marked change in Ansu-Marie's behaviour. Her mother says, "Ansu-Marie has definitely showed positive changes in her behaviour. She is less aggressive and we get along better. She doesn't complain about the needles-and-pins feeling that she used to experience and her medication is a lot less. I can really recommend this treatment." Mrs. Petra is 24 years old and suffers from severe depression. She was institutionalized two years ago and medical costs were rising. Her medication alone was over R1 700 per month and was not very effective. After six Acutouch treatments she stopped her medication altogether, but continued her Acutouch therapy. She felt more confident and uplifted than she has felt in years. Today, she is a whole new person. Acutouch Therapy has become renowned for the lifting effect it has on its patients. This is linked with the success in curing ailments and conditions, which improves a patient's mental state. But Acutouch has also been proven to improve people's sleeping patterns and blood circulation, which does a lot to better the emotional state of any human being |

| Parkinson's disease Lorraine Elliot is 73 years old. Diagnosed with postural tremor, she received regular buttock injections. She decided to try Acutouch treatment and stopped the injections on 25 August 2000. She started Acutouch Therapy on 29 August. She had three treatments a day that lasted between 30 and 45 minutes on the points indicated for Parkinson's disease in the Manual. She kept the Pointers on the points until the sensation faded. She noticed improvement after three days, and after a week she was 75% better. Three weeks later the trembling was gone. She reports that every 3 to 4 days she still gets some tremors when picking up heavy items, but her writing is back to normal, she walks at a brisk pace, and the trembling disappeared from her speech altogether. Audrey Young was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1995 at the age of 65. A neurologist prescribed dopamine and the dosage was increased 4 times during the last 5 years. She started Acutouch Therapy, and after a month she could feel the improvement. After two months the tremors had diminished substantially, and her medication was reduced to a third of what it had been in the beginning. She now drives again, sleeps better, and her speech is perfect. Her walking has also improved dramatically. Hans van den Breggen was a heavy smoker. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 15 years ago. In 1994 he had to retire for medical reasons. His diagnosis was later changed to Postural Tremor. He started to lose his hearing and was then diagnosed with Meniere's disease. His condition was quite severe before he started with the Acutouch treatment. He was on medication that could control the symptoms to an extent, but the dosage had to be increased regularly. He started treatment in January of 2000. He initially felt worse, but his body started to detoxify. After a week he started to feel better. Tests after a follow-up visit to his doctor revealed that all the signs of Meniere's syndrome were gone. His medication was reduced substantially. Two months later all his symptoms had disappeared, even the tremors subsided completely. He keeps up the maintenance formula as his only treatment. See a picture of Hans. 69-year-old Susan van Niekerk was desperate about her health. She couldn't hold a cup of tea or a book to read. This was due to the symptoms of Parkinson's and Postural Tremor. She also had swelling on her leg due to a surgical procedure, end the Postural Tremor severely influenced her balance and hence her ability to walk. She read about Acutouch Therapy in a newspaper and decided to try it. It was a hard road for Susan and the Acutouch therapists, but in the end they triumphed. She is in a lot less pain, and can walk without trouble. The best impact was that the tremors stopped, and she could use her hands effectively again. See pictures of Susan. Mr. A. B., aged 76, started suffering from Parkinson's years ago. Although never formally diagnosed, he started treatment two years ago, with excellent results. A few years ago, Mr. H. T. (85 years old), was diagnosed with Parkinson's. His abilities were limited, and he needed full-time medical care. He could not turn himself over in his sleep, walking was difficult and he was dependent on friends and family for everything he needed. His treatment started in February 2001. His condition improved so rapidly, that he can walk, and even get out of a car by himself. He still receives maintenance treatment three times a month. He got his independence back and is grateful to his friend who introduced him to Acutouch. Bell's Palsy Martin le Roux contracted Bell's Palsy at the age of 59, but only started the Acutouch treatment a year later. By this time his face was severely deformed and he had intense pain. Within two weeks he had much less pain, and after a month his mouth was much better and his lips were no longer drawn in. His eye was also starting to recover and was drawn up much further. He had treatment once a day for 2 months and is currently only doing 2 treatments a week. To people who haven't seen him in a while, the change is remarkable. Multiple Sclerosis Frikkie Fourie had always been an active sportsman, but for the last few years sport was the last thing on his mind. He began to experience strange symptoms, and only after months and a lot of tests did the doctors diagnose MS. The shock of being a paraplegic in a wheelchair resulted in severe depression. "I wanted to commit suicide, I just wanted to die." The medication that was prescribed had little effect, and Frikkie was declared unfit to work. He started the Acutouch treatment and eleven days after that, he started walking with his legs in braces. A month later he dropped the braces and started walking with only a stick. Now he cycles 60 km a day and his electric vehicle is gathering dust in the garage. Frikkie's his speech is almost back to normal and the stutter he had lived with for 40 years is also gone! Hannetjie Human was already diagnosed with MS at the tender age of 20. Her mother told her never to get married, but she did anyway, and has been married for to husband Leon for 8 years. Her life had been a struggle from the start of the disease, but she fought bravely through several relapses, learning to write and speak again. But at the age of 30 she had a relapse so severe that she was bedridden and totally without energy. Her husband hired a wheelchair for her, but in an act of defiance she threw the chair down a set of stairs. Leon read about the Acutouch treatment and decided that they had nothing to lose. The treatment did wonders, and today Hannetjie is living a normal life and telling her story to other sufferers of MS in an attempt to provide hope amidst the terrible suffering. Stroke Mrs. M. suffered a severe cerebral infarct that completely paralysed her left side. Fortunately, it did not develop into a coma, but she was totally disabled on that side. Her vision was badly damaged and she only had partial use of the right side of each eye, and no vision in the left halves of each eye. Her speech was somewhat slurred. A doctor started treatment within about five hours of the stroke. He gave her about three hours of Acutouch Therapy, using all the points in the Users Manual. Immediately after the first treatment, she could already feel some sensation in her left shoulder and left thigh. She said she felt as though she were "thawing". The following day, before the second treatment began, she felt the doctor's hand on her left cheek, and the left side of her face was less droopy than the night before. After the second day's treatment, she could bend her arm and leg somewhat. The third, fourth and subsequent treatments produced continued improvement -- to the great surprise of her other doctors. By the tenth day, she could stand with assistance. Although her neurologist and physiotherapist don't hold out much hope for her eyes and left hand, the doctor who performed the Acutouch Therapy is optimistic. She is in rehabilitation and improving daily, and at this stage actually feels the Acutouch Pointers in all areas. Acutouch Therapy was originally invented in order to treat the effects of stroke. Migraine Part of the 58-year-old Mr. T's daily routine was coping with blinding migraine attacks. For 20 years he had suffered from depression and had an aggressive temperament as a result of his extremely painful headaches. He consulted various doctors, who prescribed painkillers and anti-depressants, which were generally ineffective and brought only tempory relief. At that stage he was employed by the Air Force and decided on an early retirement because of his condition, which might have been caused by tension. After one treatment with the Acutouch Pointers, he had only a mild headache and could feel a vast improvement. The second treatment proved to benefit his condition even more -- he could hardly feel the headache at all. By the third treatment his symptoms cleared, and he was very impressed with Acutouch! Headache Mrs. E. U. is 43 years old. Several years ago she started getting severe headaches, which she suspected were hormone-related. The condition got progressively worse. To her astonishment, she instantly felt better after her first Acutouch treatment. Since then, she has had minimal headaches and the pain got gradually lighter and eventually cleared completely. Four months later, she still receives maintenance treatment, but has not had a headache in two months. Tension headache Various students reported a positive response after using the Acutouch Pointers during exam periods. Some had developed extreme tension headaches, which the Acutouch Therapy cleared either immediately or within a day or two. Cerebral Palsy Six months ago, Celine Mouton was so spastic that she spend most of her time in a foetal position. Her mother, Anna, had already become worried when Celine was 6 months old. After several tests at the Academic Hospital in Pretoria she was refered to the clinic for cerebral palsy. Before the Acutouch therapy she could not chew, she had to suck on her food and then swallow. She could not even turn in her sleep, she never crawled, and her arms and legs were pulled up with spasm. Her one leg pemanently crossed the other and both her knees and ankles were turned inwards. Celine's feet were also turned inwards, and when she was held up, she used the inside of her feet as heels. On top of all, this Celine could understand everything, but nobody could understand what she tried to say. Hannah Helberg, the Genesen Therapist who assisted with Celine's treatment, said she knew she would get some relief, but did not know to what extent. The Acurepatch was applied daily behind her head to treat the cerebral part of the brain. Acutouch Therapy was also applied directly to areas of spasm on both her arms and legs. Celine's hands started to relax within a short period of time and the fact that she could then for the first time pick up her toys caused great excitement for herself and her mother, Anna. At the same time, the spastic colon relaxed for the first time in her life. Both mother and child realised that she was going to improve even further. Celine showed a lot of perseverance for such a small child, and two weeks after the treatment started her speech improved and her legs and feet straightened and relaxed with time. Today Celine pulls herself up into a standing position and she also walks small distances with help. The last time Genesen heard from Celine she could put her feet flat on the floor. We believe that this new development may mark the beginning of Celine's ability to eventually walk on her own. Marlie Loots was born prematurely on 9 May 2000. She wasn't breathing and she was already blue. The hospital staff eventually stabilised her on a ventilator. The following morning Marlie had 3 convulsions approximately 10 minutes apart. Marlie was released from the NNICU after a month. Everything went well after that until Marlie got bronchitis. Marlie was diagnosed with asthma, and they noticed that she couldn't move her neck to the right when she laid on her left side and the other way around. Marlie was 4 months old when she started physiotherapy. Marlie's slow progress was troubling her parents, and doctors again performed a series of tests, which included an RT, MR and EIG. Results disclosed that she had an epileptic charge throughout her brain, cerebral oedema and severe damage in her white matter. The doctor prescribed Epilum and Prelone to control her convulsions. She slept all day and showed no interest in the world around her. In December 2001 the family bought an Acurepatch and a set of Genesen Acutouch Pointers. (They are currently using only the patch, and will begin treatment with the Touch Pointers soon.) In the past, Marlie could only take sweets to her mouth, but now she is even able to take the patch off her head! Her parents noticed a remarkable difference in her energy levels, and she started sleeping soundly at night. By the end of December, they observed that her concentration had improved, and she curiously turned her head as people spoke to her. She showed a lot more interest in the world and also had better concentration. She even pulled things off the table to play with them, held her own toys and took toys from other children. On 27 December she started to turn onto her right side when in bed. On 1 February 2002 she started talking back in baby language and now tries to feed herself. Marlie's sense of smell has also improved dramatically. She is now learning to crawl. Cailin Douman was born prematurely 3 years ago. She could not communicate or sit, and her lower limbs were mostly affected by spasms. She got bronchitis on a regular basis, and her lungs were very weak. She was very restless and irritatable, and her sleeping patterns became very irregular. A common CP symptom, salivation was present, and constipation also occurred regularly. Although she was spontaneous and pleasant, her biggest problem was still her legs, especially her left hip, which was very spastic. Moving, crawling, and walking caused extreme pain. Her parents started treatment with an Acurepatch on 13 October 2001. Within the first two weeks of treatment, she became more patient and peaceful. She slept much better and her digestion improved daily. After the first month, her salivation remarkably reduced and her verbal skills improved. She was also paying more attention to her surroundings. After 6 weeks of Acutouch Therapy, she comfortably moved around and her spastic legs decreased tension. Communication constantly improves. Her sensitive respiratory tract became stronger. On 3 January 2002 Cailin began to crawl -- something she was never able to do. Treatment continues on a daily basis. Louis Conradie is a nine-year-old boy from Cape Town who has Cerebral Palsy. His is very spastic in his arms and legs, and has a very high muscle tone. Louis is very intelligent and his mind is quite alert. His main problem is in his upper limbs, and it is worst on his right. Mrs. Conradie has a set of Genesen Acutouch Pointers rather than Acurepatches, because they are more effective at Louis' age. Although Louis can talk, he still has difficulty in pronouncing certain sounds and vocals. After one month of treatment, his spasticity improved, and his whole body feels more relaxed. He shows more interest in his surroundings, and concentrates better. In the middle of January 2002 his hand started to react to treatment. He actually started to move his hand, which he wasn't able to do before. By the beginning of February 2002 he could physically use his hand. His parents give home tuition, thus making it a lot easier for Louis to use his computer. Louis still receives treatment and improvement can be seen every day. Jeran Harris was born 2 months early and was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy when he was 10 months old. When he was 5 months old, his mother had noticed that he couldn't sit or communicate. He was constipated, and his left eye squinted. He was taken to a paediatrician, who referred him to a physiotherapist. The evaluation confirmed that he was very spastic and had a very high muscle tone, especially his arms and legs. He was tested by an optometrist, who discovered that Jeran was nearly blind. After a few months' intense treatment with Acutouch Therapy, his left eye dramatically improved and his verbal skills are up to 70% better. He is capable of using his upper limbs constructively and can hold and take objects in his hands. His regular constipation is something of the past . In January 2002 he started to find his own way around, and acts more independently. Although he responded so well to the treatment, he still receives therapy, and his satisfied parents are looking forward to more rewards for their dedication to the treatment. Margarita and Elizabeth van der Merwe are 7-year-old twins. The twins were born at 26 weeks. Their parents only realized at a later stage that they could not sit and that both children's legs were not optimally developed. The upper limbs are normal. Their mother shared that they could talk, but found it difficult to articulate words. Their parents tried to improve their quality of living and sent them to the New Hope School from an early age. They are hyperactive and received physiotherapy, occupational therapy and Herbarium therapy. Their improvement was minimal, but Margarita started completing puzzles, and Elizabeth started stuttering. Margarita finds it difficult to walk and moves with the help of a walking aid. Elizabeth finds it easier to walk, but supports herself against her surroundings. These children have no mental setback, their main problem is they are unable to walk normally, due to complications in the lower back and hip area. At the beginning of February 2002, their grandmother bought Acurepatch as a last resort. Treatment started 3 weeks ago. The children are noticeably calmer and the high muscle tone started reducing. This was observed by their mother and physiotherapist. Their mother confirmed that their sleeping pattern dramatically improved. They are less resistant to go to bed and they sleep soundly for longer hours. Even more outstanding results are expected in the long run. |

| Abdominal adhesions Mrs. F. M., a 40-year-old social worker, had sub-acute obstruction secondary to intra-abdominal adhesions following an ovarian cystectomy 15 years ago. No medical or surgical treatment had proved effective, but Genesen Acutouch Therapy aided her to the extent where she now feels relaxed and can have a pain-free night. Mrs. F. M. has applied Genesen Acutouch Therapy twice a day for 30 to 60 minutes to S 25 and all tender local areas. In addition, she has found some relief by treating LI 4, P 6, and SP 6. She can now cook without feeling nauseous, as well as brush her teeth without retching. Bilestones Mr. B. (52) is a well-known butcher in his town. His pain left him breathless as his extended abdomen was sensitive and swollen. Medication was taken daily, but did not solve the root of the problem. He was scheduled to have his bilestones removed, and tried the Acutouch Touch Pointers only to relieve the pain. His breathing eased after the first treatment and 3 days later the pain completely cleared. He canceled his bilestone operation and is now much healthier. "Thank-you, Acutouch, for saving me from surgery!" |
| Genito-urinary system |
| Kidneystones Kidneystones were a common occurrence for Mrs. H. For years her pain was unbearable. Her painkillers alone cost up to R800 per month, and brought temporarily relief, but did not resolve the problem. Her kidneystones are something of the past. The pain was completely gone within the first week of treatment. Mrs. H. has complete faith in Acutouch Therapy, and is treating a wide variety of ailments in her family with great success. Impotence A retired pilot read about the Acutouch, and decided that it might be the answer to his only problem. Mr. D. is a fairly healthy 80-year-old man, but a few years ago he lost his ability to have an erection. During the first week of treatment with Acutouch Pointers, he felt more energetic, but there was no visible difference. In the second week of treatment he regained the full ability to have an erection. Acutouch Therapy complete changed his life. Mr. P. is a 43-year-old man who suffered from an enlarged prostate. At times he was unable to maintain an erection, and sometimes he could not get an erection at all. His condition visibly changed after 2 treatments. He continued with the treatment and reported after 4 weeks that his prostate problems had cleared and that he had regained his ability to maintain an erection. Low libido Mrs. M is a 50-year-old woman who suffered from various ailments. After several operations, she had regular bladder infections and suffered from severe lower backache. For 17 years she had no desire to have intercourse and completely lost interest in sex. She responded positively to the treatment, and after two weeks, had a vast improvement in libido. Vaginal bleeding/tumor Mrs. de Kock had wonderful results with Acutouch after a traumatic experience. At the age of 54 she had decided to have a hysterectomy. Soon after the surgery began, it was discovered that she was a haemophiliac (a "bleeder") and the operation was immediately stopped. Nine years later she jumped off a high wall and started bleeding excessively. A series of tests then revealed ovarian cancer. One ovarian growth equivalent in size to to a four-month-old foetus was removed, and she was told that her right ovary could not be located. Various clinics, specialists and procedures were tried unsuccessfully. The haemorrhaging never stopped, and Mrs. De Kock tried Acutouch out of desperation. After a month's treatment the pain and bleeding was dramatically reduced. Small fragments of material were excreted and classified as rotten surgical material. Since her bleeding started, she took special care of her personal hygiene and was convinced that a piece of surgical instrument was left in her during the operation. After her second laparotomy and cauterisation she was urged to continue with chemical treatment against her will. Minor bleeding still occurred especially from her bladder, and it was confirmed to be as result of the ovary that could not be located. A part of her bowel was also removed. During this agonizing period, the Acutouch Pointers greatly reduced her stress and the overwhelming feeling of hopelessness. Her discomfort and pain around her bladder was dramatically reduced. Muscular stiffness was greatly relieved and she healed more rapidly than she expected to. |
| Diabetes |
| For the past 20 years, Mrs. D. has been suffering from diabetes, which also affected the blood circulation in her legs. Five years ago, she started to lose feeling in her legs. At times they felt lame and she got a needles-and-pins sensation. She read an article on Acutouch Therapy, and started treatment with her local physiotherapist. After the first treatment, her toes were much more mobile and the feeling gradually returned. She was very impressed when she could put on her shoes by herself (something she had not done for years) within just three treatments. The desirable pink colour in her legs proves the recovery of the blood circulation, and she hopes to inspire sufferers to try out the therapy. She is amazed at the results. Mrs. I. was diagnosed with diabetes in early childhood. Treatment with the Acutouch Pointers has aided her in keeping her sugar levels stable. She understands that prolonged treatment would be more beneficial |

| Arthritis 88-year-old Mrs. P. P. suffered for 30 years from acute arthritis. She couldn't walk, and couldn't even hold a book. She was in a great deal of pain and moving about was like torture. When a promotion of Acutouch Pointers was held at her old age home, she didn't even attend. A nurse at the home persuaded the therapist to give her a treatment in her room. Five days after her first treatment she could move her left hand again. As she improved, she treated different parts of her body. "What happened to me is a miracle. I comb my own hair, I dress myself, I can even hold my arms above my head. But the best thing is that I regained my zest for life. Last year I wanted to die, but now I can live again." Kirsten Will was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 33. In the 12 years that passed, the condition grew worse and no therapy could help him. He had been bedridden for 5 weeks when he discovered Acutouch. Treatment started in November 2000, and after 7 treatments he could move around again. By January 2001 he was working again. He is still under treatment, but the disease is held at bay and he can continue with his life. Lorraine Semple, a 57-year-old grandmother from Germiston, was sent from one doctor to the next after contracting osteo-arthrosis. It was not only the intense pain in the joints of her fingers, but also the excruciating pain in her right hip and leg that were making life extremely hard for her. After using Acutouch, she was free from pain for the first time in years. "It's the most amazing invention ever," she says. She proudly adds that people are now saying she looks ten years younger. Mrs. D. D., aged 58, suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for years. Living with the pain became part of her daily routine, until it became so unbearable that she was given up to 10 cortisones per day. Her dedication to Acutouch treatment paid off. She no longer uses costly medication, and there are no more side effects. Fracture pain Peter Oescher writes: "In February 2000, I was involved in a motorcycle accident that fractured my T11 vertebrae. The fracture was picked up only several days after the event and it was too late for traction. In the months that followed I was in a lot of pain, using anti-inflammatories and painkillers, and I was in a back brace. With my hectic schedule it was not possible to see a physiotherapist on a regular basis. When the pain became unbearable, I went to see a physiotherapist that used a combination of manipulation, massage and Genesen Acutouch Pointers. The effect was immediate. I have since finished my treatment with the physio, but bought my own pair of Pointers that I use regularly on my back for pain and stress knot relief." Knee pain Mr. T. S. is an an extremely obese (overweight) individual who was afflicted with a recurrence of gout in his knee joint. He was asked to apply the Touch Pointers to the area. After approximately 10 minutes, he literally danced on the spot to prove how pain-free he was! Mrs. J. (63) had been living at the coast for years. Except for her knee that wedged her up, there were no complaints about her health. But the pain got increasingly worse in her knee and she suspected it to be inflamed. A year later, with only 1 Acutouch treatment, Mrs. J's knee is still pain-free and she is in perfect condition. Carpal tunnel syndrome (wrist pain) Mr. V. B., a middle-aged father of a doctor, had experienced pain and discomfort in his hand. The treatment his son had prescribed had not alleviated his symptoms. After two 20-minute applications of the Acutouch Pointers, the patient was able to get back to playing his guitar for over 2 hours, without any discomfort afterwards. A repeat nerve conduction test gave a result similar to the pre-treatment one, but it is expected that the result will improve dramatically. Dupuytren's contracture A skeptic at first, Dr. van Wyk tried the Acutouch to relieve the pain in her hands. She suffers from Dupuytren's Contracture, an ailment that causes the forward curvature of the fingers. During childhood, a flask broke in her hands. She had to receive a series of operations to remove the glass fragments. To make things worse, she also suffers from arthritis in her hands. At times her old injury and the arthritis cause immense pain, but she is assured of pain relief whenever she places her Touch Pointers on her hands. The difference is remarkable, and the pain subsides for days. Her blood circulation is much improved and she expressed that she finds it important to treat according to the Manual. Restless leg syndrome Mrs. C. has suffered from insomnia and restless leg syndrome for a long time. After her first treatment she had no trouble falling asleep and her legs were much better. After a month's continuous treatment, she reported that she still feels much more energetic during the day, and her legs remain restful. Tennis elbow 53-year-old Mrs. N. had suffered from tennis elbow for 10 months. In the course of treatment, she had received three cortisone injections. These had given her only temporary and progressively minimal relief. She was wearing a tennis elbow brace continually, but was unable to play tennis. Mrs. N. received Acutouch treatment three times a week for two weeks, twice for three weeks, with ten-minute applications on each day. Within three weeks, Mrs. N. no longer required the tennis elbow brace for daily activities, and within four weeks she was able to resume playing tennis with the use of the brace which her doctor advised her to use any time she plays. After checking her elbow once a week, Mrs. N. reported that she has not had any recurrence of the elbow pain. Nine weeks after the initial treatment of Acutouch, Mrs. N. was completely healed. Ankylosing Spondylitis (Bamboo Spine) Throughout her medical career, Dr. Cato van Wyk had an unquestionable faith in quality Western medicine. A few years ago, a friend and well renowned businessman was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis at the Grootte Schuur Hospital. He suffered from immense pain and searched far and wide for some kind of relief. Acutouch miraculously improved his condition and he is now capable of continuing his daily routine, without any pain or discomfort. Dr. van Wyk is now also an Acutouch user. Lower back pain A 28-year-old nurse, Mrs. N. P., had a history of Scheuermann's disease. For the preceding 4 years she had experienced lower back pain. After 15 minutes of treatment, she said she felt cured. M. E., a 29-year-old farmer, had strained his back lifting a heavy object . He complained of severe pain and was unable to straighten his back more than 45 degrees. His wife applied the Acutouch Pointers to his back the following day for 45 minutes. After applying Acutouch, he walked away totally upright, virtually free of pain and no longer using a cane. Mrs. Marie Theron, a former school principal, is very impressed with her set of Touch Pointers. She uses them for a variety of ailments, but mainly for her injured back, and uses considerably less medication. She recommends Acutouch to anyone who suffers and wants to improve their quality of life. Neck pain Mrs. M. S., aged 69, had had a wry neck for 3 days and was unable to rotate her neck. Within 5 minutes of the application of Acutouch to her neck, she had regained the full range of movement. The Acutouch Pointers were applied again the following day. Since then she has remained pain-free. Shoulder operation When Mrs. V. (57) injured herself, a doctor suggested a shoulder operation to restore the damage. The surgery was successfully completed and she had to start physiotherapy immediately to ensure that the arm was exercised thoroughly and that it would stay mobile. Unfortunately, a sudden flu attack withheld her from her physiotherapy and her shoulder became frozen to such an extent that she could not move her arm. During this painful ordeal she decided to try Acutouch, not expecting much. Happy after the first treatment, Mrs. V. was able to raise her hand slowly above her head. She recuperated rapidly and now experiences no pain. Broken ankle October 2001 was unfortunate for Mrs. C. She tripped and fell over a step, tearing all her ankle ligaments and breaking the bones in her foot. Despite medical treatment, she experienced intense pain, and her foot was extremely swollen. After treating herself for approximately 6 weeks using Acutouch Therapy, the swelling was completely gone and her foot was healed. During this time she used no painkillers or anti-inflammatory medication. Foot pain A patient with foot pain was treated locally by his doctor with Acutouch Pointers for 15 minutes. After that, he was able to walk out of the doctor's room without hopping as he did on his arrival. Mr. S. is a 67-year-old golfer. He presented his new doctor with a problem in his foot. The foot had a deep scar. There had been three operations after a long-standing staphylococcus aureus infection that gave him an abscess on the foot, as well as endocarditis. As a result of the third operation, fusion had been performed. The pain was extreme, especially upon standing and walking, and movement was impaired. His life had come to a standstill -- and he could not play golf! After the first treatment of 25 minutes by his doctor, the condition improved by 80%. Mr. S. has acquired a set of Acutouch Pointers for himself and routinely self-administers treatment (twice each day for half an hour each time). In his own words, "It has improved my life tremendously. Thank you!" A 62-year-old male patient came to the same doctor with a plantar pain of the right foot. It was basically an inflammation of the fascia. He had had the inflammation for 18 months. The pain was extreme, and he had impaired movement when walking. The cause was unknown. Since the problem was not a life threatening one, the doctor immediately applied the Acutouch Pointers. No other treatment was administered. Four treatments of Acutouch were performed within 12 days. After the first treatment, the pain had decreased by 80%. After the fourth treatment, there was no more pain. The patient could walk with a normal gait. 3 weeks later, the patient was still 100% better. 3 months later, the doctor had not heard from him again, and assumed that he fully recovered from that inflammation. Painful thumb A 57-year-old woman, Mrs. L., complained of rheumatoid arthritis of the left thumb, which had been getting progressively worse over the preceding nine years. After one 10-minute application of the Acutouch Pointers to the base of the thumb, Mrs. L. is pain-free. Mrs. F. M. is a young woman who had severe pain in her right thumb for the preceding 3 months. Her pain diminished after just 5 minutes of treatment. Swollen finger J. P., a 42-year-old doctor, had a paronychia on his left index finger. The Acutouch Pointers were applied. Although he did not noticed much at the time of application, the following day, he was completely pain-free and there was no evidence of redness or swelling. No other treatment or antibiotics were prescribed. Tissue growth No treatment had helped a middle-aged woman, Mrs. R. B., who had had marked fibromyalgia for eleven years. Acutouch Therapy was applied daily to the tender areas, and within a few days her whole life changed for the better. The pain went away, and her depression and lethargy also lifted. Inflamed face A young female patient had an abscess on the left side of her face above her upper teeth, with an enormous area of redness, heat and pain. Her doctor recommended an antibiotic, but she was totally against the idea. Since he could not perform acupuncture, he administered Acutouch Therapy for 25 minutes. Two days later, she came back for review and he hardly recognized her, since the abscess had totally disappeared. She informed him that 2 hours after the application of the therapy, she felt "terrific" and that she had pressed against the abscess until it burst and drained. Her doctor's own words were ecstatic: "What a fantastic result!" Muscular cramps Mr. F. B. is a pilot. His stressful profession added up to his aches and pains, especially muscular cramps that became part of his daily routine. Since he purchased his Acutouch Pointers, his life has been pain-free. " They work fast, effectively, and are compact enough to travel with," he reports. |
