"I was able to help my father with his above knee amputation and  phantom pains, therefore I am thankful."
Frieder Kempe - the Originator of Farabloc

Amputation Victim Mr. Rudolf Kempe . Click for larger picture, then click BACK in your browser.From the agonizing phantom pains of an amputee, arose Farabloc, the unique pain management solution for amputation related phantom pain.  Now, this drug free pain relief treatment used by amputation survivors worldwide has also been proven effective in treating back pain, sport injuries and muscle related pain and stiffness!

There are drug free pain relief alternatives.

Back Pain Relief Naturally! Farabloc is an effective drug free choice, and an inexpensive alternative to conventional therapeutic measures and chemical remedies. Farabloc products are manufactured in a wide variety of flexible forms and sizes, which can be applied to virtually any affected part of the body.

Farabloc evolved from primary research on phantom limb pain (also known as phantom limb syndrome) as a result of amputation. Now distinguished researchers in Europe and North America have demonstrated the effectiveness of this revolutionary product to ease back pain and sports injury related muscle pain. Some of the research results have been indexed by the National Library of Medicine.

Farabloc is an easy to use, drug free alternative to the side effects of expensive and intrusive painkillers and other narcotics.

Farabloc Fabric for Amputation Related Phantom Pain.Farabloc consists of a series of ultra thin steel fibres woven into a nylon fabric, which is custom made into wraps or garments, such as socks, gloves, jackets, blankets and limb covers for the amputated area. These garments are then placed over the painful area. Irritating high frequency radiation is blocked, allowing soothing low frequency waves to pass through.

Whether you require a jacket, a sock, a sleeve, or a simple wrap to cover a limb, Farabloc’s anti-inflammatory properties provide a natural and effective answer to pain and discomfort. These findings are backed by European and Canadian clinical trials and reports from independent health organizations.

Farabloc is not just for Amputees

Farabloc SockIndependent research indicates a significant reduction in the levels of CPK (creatine phosphokinase) enzymes known to produce pain and cramping in muscles. Exciting current research is demonstrating the benefit of Farabloc for athletes of all ages, enhancing muscle health, soothing aches and strains, and promoting rapid healing.

A recent customer reports:

Dear Mr. Frieder Kempe,

Dan has asked me to pen you a note concerning my use of "Farabloc" which she gave me for Christmas. In 1962 I had a radical mastectomy followed by a series of Cobalt treatments. Within six months I began to lose feeling in my hand and eventually lost the use of my hand and arm and had gret swelling and edema. By 1978 my chest had begun to decay and they amputated my arm in order to use the flesh from elbow to shoulder to rebuild a chest using continuous flap skin graft. My arm (actually parts of it, ie. elbow, wrist hand and fingers) had been painful since the 60's with the numbness and bloated feeling caused by edema. I have been on painkillers for many years. since the amputation, the same "parts" of the arm, which pained before, still pain today.

A friend helped me by sewing the Farabloc into 4 shoulder covers for my daily use. Since I have been using the Farabloc, I have been able to reduce my pain killers by approximately half.

I found that it was better not to wear my cover 24 hours a day, as sleep has always been one of my means of escaping my pain. So I take itoff in the evening before bed. My friend Jeanie, as she was sewing the Farabloc, said she could feel warmth generated by the material. So instead of 5 to 8 Exdol 30's per day, I am down to 3 or 4. I hope this brief account will be of some use to you.

Thank you so much for making this wonder fabric available.
Sincerely,
J.S.

MORE TESTIMONIALS

"Thank you for this article, I found it helpful. I'm six months post hemipelvectomy (chondrosarcoma) and the best thing I have found is the farabloc cloth the article mentions; it's really worth the cost, I think." June, 2004

"I just ordered one of your wraps and I wanted to let you know why. I had a mastectomy three years ago. For the last two, I've been suffering from...I'll call it 'phantom itching'. I have these awful sessions of itchiness where my breast used to be. If you can imagine, it feels like being stung by about 10 bees and all the venom is reacting!

A friend of mine witnessed one of my sessions and brought me in a piece of her Farabloc to try. It's been about two months and in that time, it's reduced the sessions from about 3 a week to a total of one a month! I've now ordered my own Farabloc, hoping that a couple more layers will eliminate all the problem.

Thanks for this product."
