Wondering if…

Has anyone had any experience with the Bemer? It's a machine that helps your blood circulate better.

Also, is decaffeinated black tea acceptable to drink? Like decaffeinated English Breakfast tea?

Thanks!

I'm an MD. I looked at the Bemer website today, and I think it sounds like quackery. It's also very expensive! IMO, just improve circulation by moving your body!I'm not sure what is concerning to you about tea?

I tried it and loved it… BUT when I read and saw under the microscope what was happening in the micro vessels I was concerned enough to ask questions of my friend’s husband (an MD)who was selling them… what if all this speeding up is actually helping thr metastatic disease spread. He admitted that might be the case.. I’m early in 1st line treatment so I never went on the Bemer again… but it was helpful for pain…. Maybe if I was in more pain and further down the track I will pick it up again.

Thank you for your reply. I'm trying to find people who have MBC that have a positive experience with it before using it.

Just curious, what is your concern with tea, caffeinated or decaf?

I've read cautions about various drinks so I thought I would check.
