"I want to let you know
how very useful I have found your hand-held, credit
card size, biofeedback device. In addition to the
self-programmed control techniques from your book, I
have been using this card to retrain people suffering
from stress-prolonged psycho-physiological illnesses.
In addition to excellent results with those with high
blood pressure, ulcers, colitis and
agoraphobia...Im finding equally rewarding
responses in the psychological treatment of cancer
patients, especially those wanting to use the
Simonton method of imagery. It is truly exciting to
see the rapidity and convenience with which this
little card teaches the users to monitor themselves
and initiate stress-reduction techniques without
expensive and time consuming trips to their doctors
or biofeedback laboratory. Thank you for developing
such a useful addition to the therapists
treatment armamentarium, and one so useful in so many
modalities." "Please accept my
appreciation for developing a practical and simple to
use method of determining and controlling stress (The
Stress Control Handbook and Biofeedback Card). I have
read many books on the subject and attended many
seminars conducted by experts in the field. Your
booklet covers the entire field of stress education
and also provides easy and effective ways to reduce
stress. All of this in only 14 pages! The Biofeedback
Card is amazingly accurate. I use it in my work as an
industrial nurse to demonstrate to my patients that
their stress level can be lowered by practicing these
techniques. They are impressed at how much better
they feel when they are in the blue. The card is as
accurate as some of the Biofeedback machines I have
used which cost several hundred dollars. The company
where I work is purchasing a card and book for each
employee. Thank you for caring enough to devote the
time and effort you did to develop this most useful
tool." "I wish to take this
opportunity to express my complete satisfaction with
your stress management card. It has been an integral
part of our employee stress program. I utilized it in
Alliance, Nebraska, when I was Police Chief there and
am in the process of incorporating it into a
departmental wide wellness program here in Burleson.
What I especially like about your card in comparison
to others Ive see is the relaxation information
on the back. A person needs nothing more than your
card to effectively manage their stress throughout
the day. Stress can be easily measured on one side
and relaxation exercises can be immediately referred
to on the reverse side. Once again I want to
emphasize the success Ive had utilizing your
card. If I can be of any other assistance, do not
hesitate to contact me." I find the biofeedback card
to be the most cost effective and durable device for
providing knowledge of temperature self-regulating
capacities. It is an invaluable asset for achieving
the relaxation response and positively reinforcing
it; motivating practice in physiological
self-regulation; controlling symptoms of
psychophysiological disorders mediated by stress,
sympathetic autonomic arousal and excessive muscle
tension such as vascular disorders; and controlling
pain. A very important feature of the card is than an
individual does not have to feel embarrassed or
self-conscious when using the card since the person
may practice inconspicuously anywhere."
