Farabloc is now the Standard of Care for Phantom Limb Pain.

"I first encountered Farabloc during a research study in 1990 ( University of British Columbia, School of Rehabilitation ).

Together with Dr. Tali Conine, we examined the efficacy of using Farabloc to manage phantom limb pain in amputees. The study utilized a randomized, double-blind, cross-over design to find in favour of Farabloc.

The outcome was consequently published in a number of medical Journals:

Canadian Journal of Rehabilitation Volume 6, Number 3, 1993 pp. 155-161 ISSN 0828-0827

British Columbia Medical Journal: 2001 Dec; 43: 10; Pages 573-577

Clinical Journal of Pain, Philadelphia, PA; 2002 Mar-Apr; 18(2): 84-92:

Farabloc is now the Standard of Care for Phantom Limb Pain.

I have been in private practice as a specialist in Physical Medicine since
1990. It is important to note that further studies have been done to examine the effect of Farabloc on the rehabilitation of muscle injury:

Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine ,Philadelphia, PA; 2000 Jan; 10(1): 15-21

as well as its effect on Fibromyalgia, awaiting publication in Clinical Rheumatology, UK, in 2006.

I have personally prescribed Farabloc to a number of patients with Fibromyalgia and Regional Myofascial Pain. Since 1997, I have been using pulsed magnetic fields (Pulsed Signal Therapy) to treat osteoarthritis, chronic musculoskeletal pain secondary to trauma and work injury and chronic sports injury(www.certifiedpst.com).

Pulsed Signal Therapy(PST) and Farabloc may have something in common.
PST involves the passage of low frequency magnetic pulses through tissue.
This promotes healing and tissue regeneration. Farabloc has been shown to block high frequency radiation from entering tissue. I think PST and Farabloc could be used in a complementary fashion for the treatment of chronic soft tissue pain."

Pain Killers, "The Inventor" - From the June 2003 issue

by: Vicki O’Brien
BC Business Magazine

"Frieder Kempe grew up in a house of pain. His father lost a leg in the 1944 battle of Monte Casino and suffered excruciating phantom limb pain. Kempe wanted to help. “Whenever the pain came, my father would predict rain. I realized that his scar had no healthy skin covering, hence no protection from electro-magnetic fields.” 
The answer, he decided, was to create a ‘second skin’ that would shield sensitive tissue, calm damaged nerve ends and stimulate blood circulation." Read the full article here>>>

"Farabloc and the Chiropractic Profession" - Bannerline Communications - February, 2003

"The extraordinary product Farabloc developed by client Frieder Kempe, continues to impress researchers around the world. New studies from Germany, Australia and Canada demonstrably confirm Farabloc's pain-relief and healing properties for a growing list of ailments. Farabloc is a nylon fabric interwoven with microscopic threads of stainless steel. During late 2002, BANNERLINE brought two clients together, encouraging the chiropractic profession to experiment with Farabloc. About a dozen prominent chiropractors have worked with the product for back, arm, leg, ankle and assorted other conditions, reporting, in most cases, remarkable results. Watch for news soon about this marriage of Farabloc and the chiropractic profession.

Farabloc has been an extraordinary 30-year odyssey for Mr. Kempe, who began experimenting in his native Bavaria, with the 19th century concepts of British scientist Michael Faraday. Early research confirmed Farabloc's effectiveness in treating phantom limb pain, suffered by most amputees. After moving to Canada over 20 years ago and forming Farabloc Development Corporation, Mr. Kempe continued to fund landmark research projects in various universities worldwide."
