<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>If you are one of the 3million Australians who suffer from a bad back then please read on because I want you to trial a new product. I hurt my back (again) whilst out cycling. I have torn ligaments in my lower back, shifted a couple of my vertebrae and strained some muscles. I did this almost 3weeks ago and have been in agony every since! A two week business trip to China certainly didn't help my cause.</p>

<p>On Monday I thought I would give a new product a go which I have a sample for. It is mainly aimed at people with herniated discs. I don't particularly know what that is, but it sounds painful. This new device is similar to a traction device. It lengthens and separates the vertebrae which certainly relieves a lot of that pinching pain and allows for things to heal much faster. The great thing is that it is very comfortable to wear. I wear it to work and have even worn it to bed a couple of times. It gives such great relief.</p>

<p>I want 15 people with bad backs, preferably herniated discs in their lower back to buy one of these new devices at half price and give me your honest feedback. They will retail at $250 but you can have it for $125 (Australians only). The only conditions is that I need your feedback so that we can communcate this the the other 3million Australians suffering. My back goes about 3times a year and leaves me quite crippled. I find this thing great. If you are interested, please email me at <a href="mailto:sam@hightechhealth.com.au">sam@hightechhealth.com.au</a> to take up this offer. This really is a first in first served thing.</p>

<p>It has really helped me and I certainly hope it will help you.</p>

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>I have just flown to the US and back in 1 week. I flew Brisbane - LA - New York - Boston - LA - Fiji - Brisbane. The Fiji component was only in there because the plane didn't have enough fuel "if something happened in the landing in Brisbane". (!!!) Over 45hrs of flying.</p>

<p>I wore my <a href="http://hightechhealth.com.au/Default.aspx?tabid=132">Circulation Booster MOBILE</a> the entire time. US security never questioned it. My feet felt brilliant. My legs never felt tire or achy. It was great! And also, no DVT!</p>

<p>If you are flying or know someone who is, suggest they get a Circulation Booster MOBILE. Apart from making the flight more comfortable, I didn't have to worry about Deep Vein Thrombosis!</p>

<p>Enjoy.</p></div>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span face="Arial" style="font-size: 0.8em;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"&gt;I flew home from Darwin, 3 and1/2 hours, and my feet swelled up minimally - not as they would without the socks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span face="Arial" style="font-size: 0.8em;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"&gt;We are going to the cardiologist later in the week and I was going to take them into him to see how long I should be able to wear them without ‘support stockings’ ... I can’t wear both.&amp;nbsp; (I don’t need another DVT either)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span face="Arial" style="font-size: 0.8em;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"&gt;Thanks for all you advice, too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>As you would expect, we meet a lot of people with a lot of problems. A lot of problems! The fastest increasing group that we are in touch with is those with diabetes. We did some research into some of the problems that diabetics face including hypertension, peripheral neuropathy, numbness, etc.</p>

<p>Did you know that 26% of diabetics suffer from peripheral neuropathy and 48% suffer from hypertension? Amazing!</p>

<p>If you are diabetic, have a look at <a href="http://hightechhealth.com.au/Default.aspx?tabid=132">The CB MOBILE</a>, <a href="http://hightechhealth.com.au/CirculationBooster/tabid/60/Default.aspx">The Circulation Booster</a> and <a href="http://hightechhealth.com.au/RESPeRATE/tabid/61/Default.aspx">RESPeRATE</a>. These will help you live with diabetes and enjoy life more. As with one of our core values: We give it a go.</p>

<p>What have you got to lose? I see too many diabetics suffering out there and listening to so much misinformation. It is sad. Give it a go. What have you got to lose? Email me at <a href="mailto:sam@hightechhealth.com.au">sam@hightechhealth.com.au</a> and mention this blog and I will ensure you are taken care of.</p>

<p>This is not a flogging product post. I want you, if you are diabetic, to realise that there are things that you can do to improve your life. You just need to give things a go.</p>

<p>Have fun!</p></div>

<p>We sponsored Henk in 2006 when he was with Belgian team Davitamon-Lotto. With his more to the US and new team <a href="http://toyota-united.com/">Toyota-United</a>, our deal came to an end.</p>

<p>But Henk's use of our products hasn't. On all travels, he takes his <a href="http://www.hightechhealth.com.au/CirculationBoosterMobile/tabid/132/Default.aspx">Circulation Booster MOBILE</a> with him and at home he uses his <a href="http://www.hightechhealth.com.au/Default.aspx?tabid=60">Circulation Booster</a>. He also has a <a href="http://www.hightechhealth.com.au/QRS/tabid/62/Default.aspx">QRS</a> which is used by quite a few elite athletes to achieve faster recovery and greater performances.</p>

<p>Did our products make him win? No. He has pure talent, dedication and a lot of hard work. I just hope we offered some help.</p>

<p>Well done Henk!</p></div>

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>We received this unprompted feedback from a customer in the UK over the weekend. Susan Lea-Wilson has just bought a <a href="http://hightechhealth.com.au/CirculationBooster/tabid/60/Default.aspx">Circulation Booster</a>. Here is what she had to say:</p>

<p>"I am really delighted with the Booster - I have suffered from swelling of the lower legs for 15 years which has steadily got worse, and had lead me to wonder how long I could carry on as a teacher. After a couple of weeks of use of your product I have noticed a big reduction in discomfort and my legs feel normal for the first time in ages. I can't tell you how pleased I am as no-one has been able to help. Your product should be more widely known and I'm recommending it to friends and family. Worth every penny!"</p></div>
