Hi Scott,Thanks for the excellent information.
I don't have all the answers to your questions but I will get the information.
The cost was $500.00 per treatment. The treatment lasted for 40 minutes. My actual contact with the device was 20 minutes. There was always a pause during the treatment.
They got a $5,000 authorization on my Visa Card.
The first thing that the technician did was test me for my seizure threshold.
Then he gave me earplugs because the device was loud.
The goal was to speed up serotonin producing part of the brain.
(The only thing sped up was my misery).
I'm thinking left side but I'm not 100 percent certain.
I will get back to you with more details.
Larry
