magic wand and ICD's?
so there's a 'wand' out there (thank you japan) that some how 'atomizes' things and you can wave it in a clockwise direction at aches and pains and it has calming properties...i don't know, a friend told me about it and wants to wave this atomizing wand over my defib/pacer implant site since i just got back from the hospital. any one ever try this? or heard of this wand? i don't want to break my brand new little pacer, or shock the living daylights out of my conscious self for the sake of helping muscle heal.

crumbcake, if this device works, please let us all know. Listen to Smitty, it sounds like his experiences and knowledge are trying to tell us about magnets/metals.
I have heard PM patients are not to stand under, waving or not, electrical fields/lines of any kind ~

well, i consulted with my friends mom who is a huge supporter of this 'wand'. no magnets, not electrical charges. apparently it is composed of minerals that have been put through some kind of process and other hoopla mumbo jumbo that made me decide that it was some kind of new age deal. so: not magnetic, not electric. i'm on day 3 of recovery from having an icd/pacer sub-pectoral implant and feeling pretty stiff. so my friend came over and waved the wand around over my heart and my chest actually got hot! so we stopped for a minute and re-consulted with the mom to double check. then we waved it around (in the instructed manner--repeatedly) and all the muscles clenching the device warmed and then relaxed a little. it was subtle, but i actually feel WAY better now. i think this 'wand' dealy bob just promotes blood circulation or something. i don't know, i'll have to do some more looking into it. it's pretty fascinating. the improvement was subtle but i definitely feel better.
You are correct!

haha, thank you Cabg Patch. you are correct...atomizing might conjure an image of Gargamel blowing up bushes as he tries to atomize the smurfs..I think i even saw a B movie about bad guys trying to atomize the sun...
The 'amwand', as it is called, doesn't atomize anything. here's the website for the wand: www.amwand.org. they make no claims as to whether it really "works" or not. It's a little out there, it's not going to cure anybody of anything and has no healing or curing properties. But kind of like how a magnet has natural properties, the minerals used to make the wand up have their own properties that emit "0 point energy" which does seem to travel through matter and have some kind of an impact on soft tissue. Just to let you know how seriously I take this, I wanded my dogs head to see if it would unscramble her brains. It didn't. But when i wanded my shoulder, the muscles un-tensed a little. psycho-sematic? maybe. but would i go out and buy one? I would do that before i left my crystals out to charge under the full moon, hah. Check out the website, i'm interested in what you think. please excuse my turning noun's into verbs (as in 'wanding'), i know that can sometimes be very annoying but seems totally appropriate when one is wielding a magic wand.

You play MP3 files on your pacer.

I had a pacemaker since 2002 and ever since then my life has been a total blessing.
Magic Wand?

Hello Crumbcake,
I never heard of such deice so don't have any idea how it is supposed to perform its magic. Before trying it on your pacemaker/ICD I would suggest that you wave it over a piece of iron or steel to see if it is magnet. You definitely do not want to wave a magnet over your pacemaker. Since so many things today are made of stainless steel which may or may not (depending on the type SS) be affected by a magnet I suggest you get a common nail. If the "wand " will pick up or cause the nail to spin, then don't get it very close (not less that 6") to your pacemaker.
Please let us know how it works. If it will help muscles heal it may help stop old folks aches and pains. There are a bunch of us out here that would love to find such device.
Good luck,
Smitty
