Someday, after we have mastered the winds,
the waves, and tides, and gravity, we will harness for God the energies of love;
then, for the second time in the history of the world,
man will have discovered fire. -- Rene' de Chardin

We do not sing because we are happy, we are happy because we sing.
-- William James

We do not serve because we love, we love because we serve. -- Darrell Stoddard

You do not love someone
because of what they do for you, but because of what you do for them. -- Darrell Stoddard

There is no love without service and no happiness without love. 
Service is the key that unlocks the door to both happiness and love.
— Darrell Stoddard
  
You'll never know what love is until you love someone enough to die for them,
and you'll never love someone enough to die for them
without first serving them.  — Darrell Stoddard
  
To love one who loves you,
to admire one who admires you, in a word, to be the idol of one's idol, is exceeding the limits of  human joy: it is stealing fire from heaven. 
--  Madam  de Girardin

A hundred expressions of  love and praise will not make up for one criticism. -- Darrell Stoddard
 
A father spoke to his young son and said, "I want you to know how much I love you." The boy replied, "Daddy I don't want you to love me, I just want you to play football with me."   


Acts of love are more important than expressions of love! -- Darrell Stoddard


Somewhere there waiteth in this world of ours For one lone soul another lonely soul, Each choosing each through all the weary hours, And meeting strangely at one sudden goal, Then blend they, like green leaves with golden flowers, Into one beautiful and perfect whole; And life's long night is ended, and the way Lies open onward to eternal day --Author: Edwin Arnold

One sweet, sad secret holds my heart in thrall;
A mighty love within my breast has grown, Unseen, unspoken, and of no one known; And of my sweet, who gave it, least of all.


Love and relationships are truly one of the most paradoxical aspects of being human. For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable yet it remains well within our reach if we only learn how to embrace it's power. To experience true love, we must be willing to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white hot flame of rejection, that love can burn so brightly as to join to souls, melding the two into one, creating a bond that joins forever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power ever lasting. It is in this thing that we call love that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.

Many people when they fall in love look for a little haven of refuge from the world, where they can be sure of being admired when they are not admirable, and praised when they are not praiseworthy.
Author: Bertrand Russell

The fate of love is that it always seems too little or too much.-- Philip James Bailey

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, -I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

Love of Life,
God, and His Creation


"The Roses of Life"
 Author unknown

I've dreamed many dreams that never came true,
I've seen them vanish at dawn. But I've realized enough of my dreams, thank God,
To make me want to dream on.

I've prayed many prayers, when no answers came,
Though I waited so patient and long,
But answers came to enough of my prayers
To make me keep praying on.

I've trusted many a friend who failed
And left me to weep alone,
But I've found enough of my friends to be true
To make me keep trusting on.

I've sown many seeds that fell by the way
For the birds to feed upon,
But I've held enough golden sheaves in my hands
To make me keep sowing on.


I've drained the cup of disappointment and pain
And gone many days without song,
But I've sipped enough nectar from the roses of life
To make me want to live on.


Because of
all the things
I have seen,
I believe in things
I cannot see

Oh God
Let This Be Heaven
     by Harrison R. Merrill

Oh God let this be heaven.
I do not ask for golden streets
or long for jasper walls
Nor do I sigh for pearly shores
where twilight never falls.

Just leave my spirit here somewhere
in this rough Western land.
I love this old world of thine.
Dear God you understand. 

Oh God let this be heaven.
I do not ask white stainless robes.
I'll keep these marked by toil.
Instead of straight and narrow walks,
I love paths soft with soil.

I have been healed by crystal streams
Like these from snow capped peaks
Where dawn burns incense to the sky
And paints the sky with streaks.

Dear God let this be heaven.
I do not ask for angel wings.
Just leave that old peak there
and let me climb till comes the night.
I want no golden stair.

Then when I bid my last adieu
And all farewells are given
Just leave my spirit here somewhere.
Oh God, let this be heaven.



This morning
I heard a meadowlark     and saw the green grass
and blue sky. 
I know God's love.
How rich can one man be?
He gave this all to me.

Things
to Be Thankful For

    Be thankful for clothes that fit too snug. It means you have enough to eat.
    Be thankful for the mess you have to clean up after a party. It means you have  a family and friends.
    Be thankful for the taxes you pay. It means you are employed.
    Be thankful that the house needs to be painted and the lawn needs mowing. It means you have a home.
    Be thankful for your heating bill. It means you have been warm.
    Be thankful for the laundry. It means you have clothes to wear.
    Be thankful for the space you find at the far end of the parking lot. It means you can walk.
    Be thankful for the lady that sings off key in the church. It means you can hear.
    Be thankful when people complain about the government. It means you have freedom of speech.
    Be thankful when the alarm goes off early in the morning. It means you are alive.


 
Receiving all Things
with Thankfulness


     There is a scripture that reads, "And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more."

    I believe the above words are the greatest success formula ever spoken. Anyone can be thankful for good health, for a good job, for family, for loved ones, for freedom, for food.
    The real test is being thankful for bad health, for heart attacks, for cancer, for poverty, even for the death of a precious loved one.

   Being thankful for "all things" must include the bitter as well as the sweet - then, and only then, will the things of this earth be added unto us, even an hundred fold, yea, more.

      It takes more than humans are capable of to be thankful for life's tragedies. Asking a merciful God to help us receive all things with thankfulness is the key.
    Those who ask in faith, nothing wavering, will receive even more gratitude, unspeakable joy, and have their lives made glorious.
I sincerely testify,

Darrell Stoddard, Founder - Pain Research Institute

The Miracle of Biotape

Responses from patients that have used Biotape, for all types of  pain, even stage 4 cancer
bone pain
that may be the most difficult of all pain to help along with trigeminal neuralgia
(tic douloureux), kidney
stone pain, vulvadynia pain, and neuropathic pain such as reflex
sympathetic distrophy
.

Pain Relief :  Western medical dogma dictates that no medicine or treatment can claim to "cure pain."  The most any product can claim is that a medicine or treatment offers "symptomatic relief of minor aches and pains." The claim for "symptomatic relief of minor aches and pains" can be made only after the efficacy of the product has been established by double blind placebo controlled studies.
No matter how spectacular the relief of pain seems to be in individual case studies, or in hundreds of case studies, until double blind placebo controlled studies are conducted and published in peer review scientific medical journals, all evidence for pain relief or pain healing is considered "unproven," "unsubstantiated" and "only anecdotal." The following letters are presented as case studies for information only.  No claims for pain healing or pain relief are implied or intended.

Mr. Stoddard,
My daughter was diagnosed stage 4 cancer in September - breast cancer had gone to the lungs, liver and abdomen as well as many bones in her body and we all knew how that would end.  However, her chemo has produced a miracle and she is no longer terminal.

However, the bone pain has been excruciating for her even with all the medications; i.e., Roxicodone, Duragesic, etc., etc., etc.  And the side effects are toooooo numerous to even talk about.

We prayed for a miracle - AND YOU BROUGHT IT TO US!!!!!  One morning on the TV my future son in law saw your infomercial.  We were at the end of hoping, but gave it a try. 

Within 1 hour - 90% of the pain was gone.  Within 24 hours - 100% of the pain was gone.  2 1/2 weeks later we removed the tape - some minor irritation was occurring and we wanted to let the skin get some air.  We expected to re-apply the the tape later that day or the next morning.  It is now day 6 without the tape and she still has NO PAIN AT ALL and has not yet re-applied the tape.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!  My daughter has bone cancer all over her body but yet she is out of bed doing everything - including swimming!  This is what I call living.  Something we never expected her to do ever again.

I am telling everyone I know - just look at my daughter - is there any reason not to try it - it just might work!

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING - INCLUDING GIVING MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE BACK TO HER.  YOU ARE MY 2ND MIRACLE!

(A relative of the above patient was passing a kidney stone and applied Biotape over the point of pain.  He finished passing the stone with no pain and would not remove the Biotape for 11 days because he was afraid the pain would return.)
 

Dear Mr. Stoddard,
I saw you on TV and decided to try the tapes.  They worked on me so quickly that I don't want to be without them.  I have suffered with sciatica and degenerative disease for more than 40 years and this is the first time I have had anything to give me complete relief.  I give the address to all whom I know suffer from pain and say the Dr. don't know what causes it.
 
Thank you and your collegues.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

 Dear Darrell Stoddard,
 
I just wanted to write you a note and thank you for what you and your research have done for my husband.  I don't mean to go on and on with this letter, but I just want you to know all the details in hopes that others in pain will give this treatment a try.
 
He has been suffering from back pain for over 8 years. He has worked construction running heavy equipment and at times doing heavy labor for 20 years and was a coal miner for 11 years.  He rode bulls for 5 years. He served in the Utah National Guard Core of Engineers for 24 years.  He has had several injuries and worked hard for several years. Some of his injuries include: 3 auto accidents, industrial accidents, and sports injuries. Because of these injures he sustained two herniated discs in his T5-6 & 7-8 vertebraes in his back.  In July 1996 he had back surgery.  Five weeks after surgery was performed, he was in a roll over without his seat belt on.  Since then his back pain has progressively worsened.  He has suffered severe pain.  He has been to several doctors and has been seeing a Neurosurgeon for the past 7 1/2 years.  All treatment he received has failed including, physical therapy, massage therapy, electric stimulation with the Tens unit, pain treatment shots, and Epiderals.  Every kind of pain pill, anti inflammatory, muscle relaxants, steroids, and sleeping pills to help his pain and to help him sleep through the pain.  In October 2002 he collapsed at work in a trench and broke a rib.  Since then his pain in his back has worsened and then in May 2003 after a couple days of heavy labor on the job, he started having severe muscle spasms around his ribs, chest pain, and shortness of breath.  He was rushed to the Emergency room at our local hospital.  He was in so much pain we thought he was having a heart attack along with his severe back pain. He was rushed by ambulance to a larger hospital to see a cardiologist for further tests.  His heart tested out fine. But the back pain, and spasms continued and even worsened.  There were times when he mentioned to me," just to get him a gun and end it."  After seeing the Neural surgeon again he was put on more pain killers. This time it was Oxycontin.  He hated the way it made him feel and he would be out of it several hours a day.  He hadn't worked a full week since May 2003.  We had some friends who told us about you and after we had done all we knew possible, we thought we would give your treatments a try. What would we have to loose when we have tried everything else. On Monday July 14, 2003 he came home from work early because his pain was so unbearable.  I called your office and we came right up.  He was in so much pain on the way that he had a hard time just sitting in the car.  He received treatment and within ten minutes or less his pain was gone!  If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it!  He was so relieved of pain that after we arrived home he went and hit a bucket of golf balls.  He has had some withdrawals from the pain pills but he is still pain free and it has been almost a month.  He is back to work full time and has his life back.  We are so grateful to you!!!  It is truly a miracle!!  Thanks again!
 
Sincerely,
Renee Madsen

 

Thank  you, thank you, thank you.  It is truly a miracle!

After suffering with lower back pain and radiating leg pain for 30 years, and finding myself becoming worse as I age, (I am 48), I am free of leg and knee pain and most lower back pain after 24 hours with the Biotape. I received relief within a few minutes but I find greater relief with continued use.

I am afraid to remove the tape!  How long should it remain on?  Is it healing the underlying cause of my pain?

My daughter is only 17 and suffers from pain, too. She has hx of JRA and had MRI showing 4 herniated discs. She has radiating leg pain. She, too has found 100% relief of leg pain after 1 night with Biotape.

We cannot believe this. I had given up hope to a life of "managing pain."

I don't know what to say. You, and the Chinese are very smart. Why won't more Western medical doctors listen? I am taking your book and tape sample to our physician. I am giving my dad and brother the book and Biotape as a loving gift.

This should be front page news.

Thank you for your skill, intelligence and for caring about humanity.
God bless you.

Sincerely,
Rosemary Stabrawa


 
Dear Mr. Stoddard,

For many years I have suffered from debilitating spinal problems, the result of World War 11 injuries on Guadalcanal and a subsequent automobile wreck on one of Los Angeles' busiest freeways.  I have had one surgery for a double laminectomy in the upper spine and was scheduled for additional spinal surgery.

For the past two years I have had sufficient pain that I was taking large quantities of pills per week on a scheduled basis just to keep functioning .  I had tried vicodan and darvocet both several times a day but during the most recent period of about 18 months,  I was taking two extra strength Tylenol three times a day and vicodan at night for a total of 49 pills every week.
 
Physical activity had become almost impossible for me and at times I was required to use a cane. Additionally, during the past year I have undergone two series of three injections each of epidural spinal blocks.  These afforded only minimal temporary relief.
 
Once I started using the Biotapes I experienced complete pain free relief actually within 24 hours. And, I have been totally without pain since starting use of the tapes 9 weeks ago.  I have even planted a garden, a lifetime hobby that I had abandoned several years ago because of pain, and it's the first garden I have had in 6 years.
 
It is impossible to adequately relay my gratitude to you.  I have been given a new lease on life and am doing physical things that I haven't done in years.

 Again, my sincere thanks to you and my best wishes for continued success.

Kindest personal regards,

Fred C. Huggins


 
Dear Mr. Stoddard;
Thank you - thank you - thank you!!!!!  
 
The other evening I awoke in the middle of the night as I often have over the past 9 years. When I turned the television on your info-mercial was on Smart Inventions.  I don't know why I didn't immediately change channels as I normally don't watch such programs, regardless the longer I watched the more interested I became.  As a 9 year survivor of RSDS I thought I had heard, read or seen practically everything about chronic pain.
 
Nine years ago I was a eight year veteran Fire Lieutenant working a fire when I broke my foot.  It wasn't a massive fracture or anything like that.  In fact it took almost a month before a podiatrist determined that I had fractured the head of the third metatarsal in my right foot.  After almost six months of treatment, pain medications, steroidal injections and the use of a bone growth stimulator it was decided that surgery was my next option.
 
When I awoke from surgery the surgeon informed me that they had removed the head of the third metatarsal as it appeared that circulation had been cut off from it.  In it's place they had placed a Silastic implant.  Three days later it was determined that the implant had not aligned properly and the implant  was removed through a new incision that day in the doctor's office.
 
What followed was again continued examinations and treatment by practically every "ist" imaginable in the medical profession.  I underwent even more injections in the scar area, Emla cream treatments as well as the use of a TENS unit.  Nothing relieved my pain in fact I was progressively getting worse.
 
My employer's doctors eventually determined that I was a maximum medical improvement and I was discharged from the fire service.  Through a physician friend of mine who had been the Chief Resident in Omaha I got a referral to see Dr. Graves at the Mayo Medical Clinic in Scottsdale Az. and was told after examination that I was indeed at maximum medical improvement and that I would have to learn to live with my condition.  Dr. Graves did manage to diagnose that my condition was consistent with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.
 
Through the past nine years I escaped the grip the narcotics had on me and lived hour to hour.  I tried many supplements,acupuncture, magnets, creams and treatments in an effort to relieve my pain.  I resisted the temptation to shoot my foot off several times thinking that at least then I would have something that would be visible to fix.  I have even stated that I would try anything up to going somewhere that involved "shaking snakes" and I might even consider that.  
 
Yesterday your book and the tape arrived (much faster than I expected) and after I opened up my business and took care of a few details I read the directions on how to apply the tape and placed the tape over my incisions and the forefront of my foot.  I sat back and before I was finished reading the second chapter I could sense a difference in the amount of pain I was used to.  When I got up to handle things in my store I practically fell down.  I could actually "feel" my foot - it wasn't painful to take a step.  I had to take a moment to compose myself and determine if what I was experiencing was real -- after a short time I decided I didn't care if it was real or not -- I was going to make the best of it!  My pain isn't completely gone but all I have ever asked for was for it to be tolerable - this I can tolerate -- If the pain goes away completely that would be fantastic but I know I can handle this.
 
My family wants to thank you so much -- my daughter looked into my eyes last night and told me "Dad, I can see in your face how much this has helped you!"  I actually slept all night last night and this morning for the first time in nine years I actually woke up refreshed - I even made my wife pinch me to make sure that this wasn't a dream.
 
The residual soreness I am experiencing I believe is most likely due to 9 years of favoring my other foot and attempting to put as little pressure as possible on my right foot.  The reality of it still gives me Goosebumps!
 
I ordered the 360 inch roll of Biotape and waterproof tape this morning and wanted to respond to you to let you know my experience!  Please let me know when you go public with this company so that I can invest!  Whatever happens please don't let some major medical company buy this out and put it on some shelf!
 
Thank you again!
 
Sincerely,
 
Clay J. Long

 
 
Sir,  we have never met, but I LOVE you.  I am retired on a disability pension from the City of Los Angles, Department of Fire.  I spent the last ten years on the department with severe low back pain. One day after a particularly difficult house fire in Elisian Park, Los Angles, I went back to the station-house and said I could not take the pain anymore and put in for a disability pension. I was examined by five City Doctors. Four of the five agreed that I was not able to perform the duties of a firefighter. The fifth doctor did not see any technical information about me or any of the tests that were done. He was a neurologist and he was not so sure that I could not carry out the duties of a firefighter.  So four out of five declared me "Disabled."

The City review board declared that I should go on "LIGHT" duty. All I had to do was inspect gasoline stations for illegal gasoline storage. The hard part was getting in and out of the pickup truck. The pain never let up. I retired twenty-two years after starting with the City of Los Angeles.  That was twenty years ago.  The State of California bought me a motorized scooter so I could finish college.  Just by walking from the parking lot to class I was in such great pain I felt like going back home. With the chair I was able to graduate from California State University at Los Angeles with a BS in rehab counseling.  That was in 1991.  In one of my classes a leading back surgeon said "Four years after I operate, the patient will be right back where they were four years before the operation. But DON'T repeat that because that is how I make my living."   I have never wanted surgery but I did avail myself of chiropractic help.  Three times a week for about one year (at a cost to the city of over ONE_HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS).
   
I came to Las Vegas, doing all of the packing, loading and moving everything to a house and unloading all with minimal help. I was using the chair as little as possible because I had gotten used to hurting all of the time and I could not afford to hire help. Alcohol did not relieve the pain, it just made me not care.  I have added 1000 sq. ft. to my house by my self. I was learning to do what Dr. Clayton T.M. Ching had told me to do at the start of my pain.  There were times the pain brought me to tears and suicide seemed to be the only way out.
   
I have tried anything I saw advertised for pain.The doctor was giving me a prescription for narcotic pain medicine.  Percocet 10 mg up to six a day.  It would slow the pain, but the pain would never leave. 
      
I tried "Super Blue Stuff"; It helped sore muscles, but not the low back chronic pain. Your TV add caught my attention as it had to do with pain. I sent for the $39.95 package. I really had only money to lose.  I would try anything to stop the incessant pain.  The package arrived and I set it down by my chair and thought I would get to it someday soon. Two days later, I felt, and was in more pain than usual so I thought I had better try the stuff, but was really prepared for nothing to happen.
      
I took one strip and placed it vertically as shown in the directions and then the piece across my "dimples."   I stood there, not believing what I was not feeling. Thirty years of suffering GONE.  I did not know what to think.  I did not know how to walk without a cane or walk a little hunched over. I was in total shock. I laughed and said "I don't believe it." Thirty years seeing doctors, xray, MRI, Catscans, adjustments.  I went to Bingo with my wife and touted my miracle cure. You should get some sales from this as I was walking tall and proud. I have been in situations that a mere "Thank you" just was not enough. I would say "God Bless You," but I am sure that he has already done that. So I LOVE you from the bottom of my heart, Thank you.                                                              
                                                                                          Sincerley,

                                                                                          Richard A. Purdy


Note You may call Mr. Purdy at 702-878-4462  He said he would be happy to talk to anyone about the success he has had with Biotape.

Editors Note:  Mr. Purdy sent the following letter when I wrote to ask permission to use his letter:

Sir, You may use my letter, name, address, phone number, my truck, car or any thing else I have. I am still questioning my sanity. I have forgotten what it is like to live without pain. Whatever motivated you in the first place is not a secret to me. I think it was Erich Frome, or one of his colleagues that said "I do not believe there is a GOD, I KNOW IT!"  These are my feelings. I do not ask why it took thirty years for me to get rid of the pain, I thank HIM for allowing me to find it now and be pain free for what ever is left of this existence. I thank you for listening to him. I do know you are blessed and I pray that the blessings you receive are tenfold ad infinitum. You have my prayers, blessings and permission to use anything that GOD has bestowed unto me.
                                                                                           LOVE, Richard A. Purdy

Dear Mr. Stoddard,
    I am putting in writing the wonderful results my husband has experienced with "Biotape".  My husband, Al Palladino, had consistent back pain.  He was taking codeine and an anti-inflammatory drug.  After consulting with many prominent doctors, trying pain management, acupuncture, chiropractic aid, using magnets and heating pads to no avail, he finally scheduled lower back surgery.

One week before my husband's surgery June 16, 2003, we received our Biotape.  Upon application he found almost instant relief.  My husband is still pain free, two months (August 14, 2003) later! (Christine reported a year later
11-16-04 that her husband is still pain free and never had the surgery.) Now my husband isn't taking any pain medication, drinks plenty of water instead of soft drinks and has lost about ten pounds as a bonus.

In conclusion, I would like to thank you for the new lease on life you have given to my husband and therefore, to our entire family and me. Keep up the good work!

Sincerely, Christine Palladino

Hello,
I recently had a friend give me a few strips of your black Biotape, and she helped me apply it to two areas of my ribcage where I've received damage to the ribs from radiation treatment for breast cancer.  For ten months, I've had pain that was only slightly relieved by steroids and Lortab.   Within 24 hours of the application of your tape, I could take a breath for the first time in about 3 months without stabbing pain! 

Your product is incredible, and at first I really didn't want to believe that the relief was due to the tape.  Last night, I took the tape off one of the ribs but left it on the other rib, and I'm noticing that as the day goes on I'm getting the old pain back. Could it also be that there is some interaction and conductivity between the two separate patches of tape that makes it even more effective as a pain killer? 

I can't convey to you my gratitude for the development of this product strongly enough, and as for detractors of the science behind this product, I say, phooey on you and I hope you never hurt like I do. So there.


Thank You very much,
Janet Kirsch

Good morning Darryl,
A while back we bought the headache band and 5th generation tape, mainly for our son. I did email you and say how fast it helped him, but I thought I would let you know how things are progressing.

Christopher is adopted, we have had him since he was a few months old. He was born too soon and weighed in at a big 2lbs. Within weeks of his birth he had a shunt placed into his brain as the ventricles were not working, I believe he had a blood vessel break open. He was diagnosed as an FAE child, cerebral palsy, Hyperactive and attention deficit, he also landed up with seizures. Over the years ( he is now almost 19) we have used diet etc to help him. He did not have pain challenges until he got into his middle school years and was slammed up against walls by the other kids who did not understand him. He became seizure free until that started. His head pain was terrible to see and the pain killers did nothing to help. He was at one point left too long in seizure mode in the hospital and it left him with a left arm that does not work. This gives him pain, plus where old tubing is left in under the skin and the Drs will not remove it. He was also wacked with the wide end of a pool cue by a so called friend which also left him in pain. He spent this last summer, at home, totally incapacitated in being able to function normally. Anything we got from the Allopathic side was no good. We just got, nothing wrong, take a pain killer. These do not help Christopher at all. Picture a soon to be 19 year old special needs young man, wanting to get out there and work and he is stuck at home. Cannot go out with his friends. He was like an old man, stuffling along and going for short walks to the car and going for a ride with his father in the neighbourhood.

Then our daughter reminded us of the Biotape. Within 10 minutes of using the headache band Christopher was painfree in his head, I then taped the area's of pain on his chest, groin, left shoulder and wrist, went shopping and came back to one very happy fellow jumping up and down with happiness. One cannot, unless we have been there and done that, realize the freedom he felt, after years of mostly constant pain and then the devastating summer, realize the absolute relief to not have to deal with such agony. He has now been using the tape and band for around 6 weeks. He has gone 24 hours now without the need of the band on his head. He still keeps the tape on his body, mainly because it is just staying there and not peeling off. He wrist that is almost attrophied is relaxing more, but slowly. He is one happy fellow and is now able to go look for work with his counsellor.

What would we do without this tape. Keep up your research and if the FDA think this is all  junk, just pass along our story. I would like to see them use it themselves and then see if it is junk. It has worked for our family.

Be glad in your work and know how much it is to see our son with a body that is pain free at last.  Delayne Groen. Winnipeg Canada


I would not be without this tape, I use it for sciatica, neural pain and wrist pain,
and am happy you have a wider size.  Thank you for the relief to my awful pains, I was nearly unable to work because of them.  Bettye Pfau


To Mr. Stoddard

In November Of 1996 I had a tumor (benign) removed from my esophagus via a right thoracotomy, in other words they split me between the ribs on the right side flattened my lungs and removed the tumor.

Over the years I have endured many trigger point injections to "fix the pain from my incision," ya right ... I have also had nerve blocks with little or no effect.  The Doctors said it would get better, what they meant is, "I should get used to it."

My wife heard about you and got hold of some papers about you.  After reading those papers for myself I thought, "What a bunch of B.S.!" (It's a guy thing).

After being hounded for a month my wife and I happen to be in the area so she got my appointment with you.  I figured what the heck, I'd go just to get her off my back. (another guy thing)

WOW within ten minutes of your treatment NO PAIN, after six years on oxycontin NO PAIN.  I tell my wife every day, thanks for hounding me, and now I'm telling you, thanks for all your research you have done to accomplish what you do.
Thanks again.

HI,
My name is John Anagnostou. Firstly I would like to thank you for making Biotape available to us in Australia. After 10 years of chronic back pain and spending tens of thousands of dollars seeing just about every practitioner and doctor and trying many products, Biotape is the only thing that has given me relief and I received the relief within hours.
Thanks again and best regards

Dear Dr. Stoddard,
I am a 40 year old mother of two and currently a nursing student, I have lived with chronic pain in my back, right leg, right scapula (the lower portion burned), my neck upper shoulder, and some times would radiate to the right side of my jaw and face. I have lived with this pain for over 7years now. My partner saw your commercial about Biotape and ordered it for me along with the hydrating formula as well. I was sceptical at first because I have tried every thing under the sun all to be let down again.  I tried the tape and I was stunned with the results my pain is almost gone, it is at a point where it is tolerable.  I can't tell you how happy I am to have such relief after seven long years that the pain stole from me. Thank you so much and god bless you.

Sincerely,

Carrie L. Buchholz

Comments: Ten years ago I had three bad skiing accidents which severely damaged my right shoulder (rotator cuff). It took weeks for me to be able to use my arm, and months before I could be without constant pain. From that time on, I have been severely restricted in my activities. Every-so-often when the pain is gone, I forget, and do something that hurts it again. Two weeks ago, was one of those times. I hurt my shoulder so badly that I couldn't sleep, turn a doorknob, brush my teeth, shave, eat with my right hand, or do anything with it. Even immobilizing it with a sling, and strapping it to my body would not stop the pain. I tried ice, heat, magnets, balms, and nothing helped.

Having lived with this type of problem for years, I knew the normal pattern of healing for my body, and realized that something was really damaged this time. It was not getting better and the pain remained acute. Last week I ordered the 4th generation Biotape. I applied a tape pattern that radiated outward from the center of the pain, and crossed the outer ends with tape at 90 degrees. It looked like a broken wagon wheel. Upon application I felt...something. That night I slept pain free, and could feel my shoulder was very warm. Also my right palm was very warm. I was aware of this because of the radiating heat, which by other body parts could feel from those points. It was as though my shoulder and palm were little flames warming the surrounding areas. Even my right cheek could feel the heat emanating from my right shoulder.

The next day I could use my arm with only slight discomfort and rarely any pain. By the next day there was no pain ever, and I had full use of my arm again. I could even dry my back off with a heavy bath towel using my right arm! I only avoid the most extreme sweeping arm movements overhead. It has been four days, and the tape is still on after four showers. All pain is still gone, and when I palpate the area there is no tenderness. Summing it up; my shoulder feels better, and works better than it had since the first accident 10 years ago. Thank you Mr. Stoddard. Feel free to contact me with questions.



Thank you for your help,
I was in horrible pain after a car accident and wasn't getting any better. I purchased your pain tape and was finally able to move my neck!  I ordered more tape and placed where your book instructed and I have made a lot of progress.  The pain was so bad that I was wondering if I should go on living.  Thank you for helping me to live again.
 
Bless you!


Dr. Stoddard
Please help. I have been in a wheelchair for over six years as a result
of
SCI in the L1 and T12 spinal area.  One nerve was severed during the
accident and I am in pain most of the time.  I am tired of the pain and
medications.  How do I get on the list for one of your treatments and
where do I go.  Read about you in Natural Cures by Kevin Trudeau. 
Help me.

Peggy Napoli 

Dear Peggy,
I practice in Provo, Utah and also in Houston, Texas; and Orlando,
Florida.
You should try our Biotape for pain and loss of function from 
your
spinal injury before coming to see me: Read about Biotape and my
pain treatments at: http://www.healpain.net
Blessings on you,
Darrell Stoddard, Founder - Pain Research Institute

Dear Darrell
       I have tried your tape treatment for four days as well as the water and
salt you sent.  I am truly amazed.  It helped a little the first day and much
more the second day.  I would say it has eliminated 70 % of the nerve
related pain and helped with muscle spasms.  I am so excited and energized. 
I am a little afraid to believe this is possible.  Can something so big be so
simple.  I am going to work on getting off the medications or at least
reducing the dosage of neurontin and zanaflex.
       Usually when weather fronts move through our area I am in terrible pain.
This week we went from a high of 80 degrees to a low of 28 degrees in 24
hours with electrical storms included and I was in almost no pain.  I am still
waiting to see if this will last.  Sorry to be so skeptical but nothing in six
years has helped significantly.  I usually drug myself to get through these
weather changes or any over doing physically.  I actually feel more like
I did before my spinal cord injury six years ago.

Thank you.  This is a God send.

Dear Mr. Stoddard,

My name is MaryAnn Cummings, I’m 42 years young and I live in Salt Lake City, Utah.  I have been in pain everyday (in my ear, my upper and lower gums, all of my teeth. and my cheek and jaw on the left side of my face) at times very severe pain since November 2005.  I have seen 2 MD’s, 2 maxillofacial oral surgeons, 2 dentists, 1 ER doctor, 1 neurologist, 1 chronic pain/back specialist doctor, 1 chiropractor and 1 physical therapist.  None of which could help me.  I was diagnosed with several different things from TMJ to TN and maybe it could all be in my head.  I was on Aleve every 4 hours since the pain started but as became worse and worse I was put on Nerontin, then Lyrica for nerve pain.  I was also told to take Lortab, 800 mg of IB and to use hot and cold packs.  All of this never really helped and I was feeling off, not myself with all the drugs.  The pain was at its worse the first time I talked with you and you stated I’d had nothing to loose and everything to gain so I didn’t hesitate to order the Biotape.  That weekend after I ordered the tape and waiting for it to arrive, I had the worse pain of my life!  I now know why people want to commit suicide just to stop the pain.  Thank goodness I had my faith, knowing the Lord would not give me more then I could handle.  Nevertheless I went through 2 days of nonstop insane and severe pain and that was while I was on Lortab, 800 mg of IB, Aleve and hot/cold packs!  That following Monday night I received the Biotape and immediately put it on.  I had stopped taking all meds except the Lyrica (needed to wean myself off slowly) as of Sunday.  So Tuesday and Wednesday were great during the day but at night the pain came back.  I then took your advice and made sure I was hydrated, I was drinking plenty of water but I forgot to use the salt you sent with the tape.  That night I put the salt in my non-chlorine 1 liter glass of water and no kidding I had no pain and was able to sleep the night through!  It has now been 10 days that I have been PAIN FREE SINCE November 2005!  I cannot express my deepest gratitude for what you have done for me as well as my family who would like to thank you as well!   I am back to my old self and completely DRUG FREE!!!  Thank you, thank you, and thank you!!

I would be more then happy to be a spokesperson for you at anytime or even a referral for new customers.  I totally believe in the product and if I could help just one person in severe, chronic pain then all my pain would have been worth it!  I have already told and referred many of my co-workers  I am going to be your best salesperson because I have no problem telling people how I was able to get rid of my pain with your help.  I’m one of those go-getters, when pain is out of the equation!  

Again, thank you so much for helping me!

Your friend,

MaryAnn Cummings

Mr. Stoddard,
      I am writing to say thanks!  Not only has Biotape helped me overcome pain, but it has helped many others that I love.  I used the tape about 5 years ago when I could barely stand from a seated position.  My lower back hurt constantly and was interfering with my daily life.  Chiropractic visits only helped temporarily.   I saw an infomercial about Biotape and order some of the lovely old black tape.  Within a week I was pain free.  I couldn’t believe it!  A few months ago, (5 years later) I had some lower back pain and chronic neck pain so I decided to order some more.  I was pleased to find the look and feel of the tape had improved!  Again it stopped the pain after only wearing it a week.   But that’s not why I’m writing you today.
     My big story is my mother.  All my life my mother has suffered with pain in her ankle.  When she was 20 she was in a car wreck that crushed her ankle.  After reconstructive surgery she could walk but all her adult life she has suffered with pain in her ankle.  She is now 65 years old.  What has seemed like a lifetime of pain is now life without pain!  I was not sure whether Biotape would help her because of the severity and age of the injury.  Finally I just decided I was going to make her try it.  She laughed but agreed.  The next day she called me and said she thought she could feel a difference in the pain.  The next day I talked with her and she had no pain.  That was in May.  Today she is pain free and doesn’t have to wear the tape anymore.  She is able to walk in the morning and evening even if she has been on her feet all day.  Before Biotape we were renting motorized scooters for her when we went on vacation.  Last Saturday she climbed a mountain with her grandkids!!  You’re invention has changed our lives.  Everyone in my family has used it and found relief.  Many people in our church family have started using it.  I can’t even count the number of people that have started using it since we discovered what it could do for my mother.  Anytime I see someone limping, rubbing their back, or complaining of pain, I tell them about Biotape!

I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you. 

Monna O’Kelley

Mr. Stoddard,
You certainly have my permission to post my letter anywhere you want.  I am glad to promote your product anywhere, anytime!  I have many other “testimonials” I could tell you about.  Just let me know.  A couple others I want to share right now.  My dad has been on dialysis for 2 years now.  He suffers with pain and numbness in his feet (I can’t recall the medical term for it).  I put the tape on the bottom of his feet and he is now pain free.  A lady I attend church with, Joann Suggs, suffered with ankle and foot pain for years.  She could not stand or walk for any long period of time and has fallen several times due to the pain.  After one day of wearing the tape, she went with her grandchildren to Six Flags in Atlanta, GA.  She walked from opening to close at the amusement park and was pain free.  I could go on and on but I won’t.

You have changed the lives of many people I love and I thank you for that!

Subject: Biotape is beyond words
Dear Dr. Stoddard,
      Dec. of 2006, I got a horrible unbearable  pain in my left breast. From than till the end of Feb. of 2007, I was going to Doctors, being referred to specialists, e-xrays, than the diagnosis was shingles in the left breast. The reason it took so long to diagnosis is because the shingles are or were inside, absolutely none on the outside. The Doctor gave me some pain medication and it did not stop the pain. The Doctor told me that I could have pain up to a year or life time. 
     A friend of mine, told me about Biotape and gave me a small amount to put on the area that was so painful, this was in the morning. Unbelievabe, within five minutes the pain was receding and by the next day the pain was gone. I have changed the tape once and have found that when I have worn the tape for a week my breast starts to get uncomfortable than I change the tape again. I have used the tape for 2 1/2 weeks.  I would recommend the tape to anyone who has pain. Thanks for all your research and making Biotape available.

Mr. Stoddard
I want to personally thank you for saving my life. There are very few good doctor's with any intregity left. It is all about the money.  I forgot if I got your wedsite from Kevin Trudea's Book or Bottom Line Health it does not really matter. It isonly important that I found you. Two years ago,it seemedas though it happened over night but my symptoms weregradually becoming more noticeable over time, starting in my teens I thought it was just old age creeping up on me. First it started with knee injuries then my upper back and neck started really bothering me at 41 years of age. I had been in a car wreck 5 or 6 years prior to these symptoms I thought it was result of the wreck, sometimes this does not show up for several years. The headaches were misable. Always in my neck , back of the head and top of the head. It seemed like I went for a solid year and had a headache everyday. I  went to Orothpedic, Chiropractor, Neosurgeon, and General Doctor. Had and MRI done that said I had a mild bulging disk in my neck C6, slight herniation at T3 and T4 and a mild herniation at T8,T9. T3 and T4 were off the midline.T6 was the worst of all as far as inflamation and being out of place the MRI said nothing about it but the chiropractor had to constantly pop it back in. You could see it on x-ray. I was going to a chiropractor 2 times a week some of the things the chiropractor told me made some sense. He told me to quit drinking coffee and cokes and drink water. He wanted me to start working out which I know a strong back does help. However none of these specialist really helped me very much. They really did not listen to what I was telling them as with most doctor's they are only treating symptoms and not getting to the rout cause and getting rich in the process. I kept telling them just the slightest of activity and my back would be out of place and my head was about to explode, I told my Chiropractor I would roll over in bed and jump out of place and that my neck was constantly poping and felt like I had grit in it. It felt like I was sleeping on a concrete pillow at night I could never get comfortable. I also told the neurosurgeon this he said he could bring a dozen 45 year old men off of the street and none of them would be any worse off than I was. I knew this was not normal I felt helpless. I tried several other natural remedies, CMO for one it did nothing , then I ordered your biotape it did nothing however you sent me two packages of sea salt, I thought nothing of it and threw it on the counter it set there for three weeks. Then one day I decide to follow your instructions and start taking this with non-chorlinated water. Within 4 or 5 days days I could tell a noticeable difference. Not only did it seem like my back was better but my energy level was out the roof, the headaches started getting less and with less severity. I not only started researching sea salt but other aliment remedies. All of the major aliments cancer, heart disease, arthristis, diabetes are all tried together in my opinion. However when I started taking your sea salt I read an article on the web about 24 different things sea salt along with water were essential for. Three tipped me off as to what my problem was. One was slobbering all over your pillow at night, 27% of your bones are made of salt and a salt deficiency was the leading cause of osteoporsis, and salt deficency would lead to irregular heart beats but would regulate high blood pressure. I had all of these symtoms. I was on the verge of serious health problems. I was severely dehrydrated. Luckily I did not destroy my back during this period because I work extremely hard everyday. I have been taking sea salt for about  3 months I am almost completely healed it is amazing and so are you. Thank you so much. My mom had the worst case of arthritis I had ever seen she has past away. Neither my mom or I ever ate much salt because doctor's are constantly telling us it is bad for us and table salt may be. However I only wish I could have found you sooner I watched her suffer the last 15 years of her life and now I know the answer. My mother was a coca cola addict that may have been my biggest challenge if I could go back in time. I always told her I thought the cokes were a lot of her problem, then I had no research to back it up it was only a guess. I know now she was severely dehydrated. For me personally I will never drink soft drinks or coffee again maybe an occasional cup of decaff. It will only be non chlorinated water and a pinch of sea salt a couple time a day. If I had not received this miracle from you, I would either be insane or dead. The good Lord left us the answers we have just been brain washed by big medicine and all of these man made products that are killing us even the water out of our on taps.You and your associates are truly miracles from God. Godly people have intergrity.
 
Thank you so much,

Recently I received a notice of a class action suit that must be against you for something like fraud. I threw it away but the more I've thought of it the more I thought you might need some defense. I have ordered three rolls of Biotape and they have helped me wonderously. I was not able to knit for nearly 20 years and when my fingers or thumb start to hurt I put on the tape and within hours they are nimble again and I can knit. I cannot tell you what a wonderful difference your tape has made in my life.

Is there something I can do to help you? Come to your defense somehow?

Sincerely,
Barbara Bickmore

Follow up Letter from Barbara:

I'm glad to have you use my letter.  I have even more good news.  I have developed sciatica on top of diabetic neuropathy.  I've been taking vicadin at night and in the morning, which I'm not nuts about doing but is the only way I can get thru a day or night.  So when I got in bed last night, I was still in great pain despite vicadin.  And tho I have only used your biotape on my hands and wrists over the years, since I'd just been thinking of your letter and read the other letters on your web site I got up and cut a piece of tape and put it around my ankle.  Within 20 minutes I was asleep.  This morning I have not even had to take vicidin, the tape is still on and I'm pain free.  It's miraculous.  How can anyone sue you over that?  You're wonderful.
 
Anyhow, can I still buy the tape from you?  I shall need more if I'm going to use it on my legs!

Dear Mr. Stoddard,
I cannot believe that you and your company are being persecuted and fined for the products that you produce.
I would like to tell my story of pain.
 
I was not able to sleep about 10 years ago. I was in excruciating pain. I went to watch TV, flipping from one channel to another and noticed a title that said: "take care of your pain".
It was you, talking about a tape that can be use to help for alleviating pain.
You gave a web site to investigate more. I rushed to my computer and read all about it.
Immediately I ordered the tape and about 10 days later I got it in the mail.
I opened the package and learned how to use it. I was putting the tape on my right knee and cover it with the tape used to keep the tape secure to my skin.
This was an incredible experience! I WAS NOT IN PAIN ANYMORE! I could not believe it!
I put the tape on my back that was the in the worse pain one can imagine. I am a survivor of 2 back operations, done 1985, to correct a 92 degrees scoliosis, and osteoarthritis.
I had gained about 30 lb weight and walked with a cane. It was not and easy life.
 
Free of pain I was able to start exercising and reach a point that I didn't have to use the cane. I recovered my balance and lost weight. People living in my building started to ask me: “What are you doing that you look so well, you lost weight and walk straight?"
Then, neighbours and friends ask about this wonderful tape. For most people it was a success and they are now free of pain.
 
I cannot thank you and the people that work with you for your dedication in doing your research,
 
THANK YOU MR. STODDARD YOU HELPED ME FOR EVER.  YOU HAVE GIVEN ME A NEW LIFE. I CAN TRAVEL TO VISIT MY CHILDREN….
I just celebrated my 70th birthday and celebrated in style …I will travel to the USA to celebrate with my children…
 I hope that this situation that you are going through will be resolve and you will be able to continue contributing on helping people like me.

I am writing of my experience meeting yourself and Mr. Stoddard at the offices of Dr. Paul Ameison two weeks ago and the results of that meeting.  

I am currently undergoing treatment for lung, bone and brain cancer and was attending Dr Ameison's clinic on the 1st November this year having a Vitamin C infusion,which is part of my program for a natural cure for my condition.  The bone cancer has spread from the right hip to the left knee, and has resulted in a hole forming in the knee, causing me considerable pain.  At that time, I was unable to walk unaided, the pain was quite sharp with pressure of any sort, so walking most uncomfortable.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to attend a session with Janette and  Mr.  Stoddard that same day, and was introduced to the Biotape which I am wearing today.  When the tape was put in a cross shape across my knee, and I stood up, the pain level was reduced from and 8 to a 2-3 immediately, which was wonderful.

I have kept the tape on and added more to my reight leg, which was beginning to feel painful, as the cancer had started to move into that area, and again, the pain I was feeling has diminished, if not gone completely.

I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Stoddard, who is a charming and gentle man, with the welfare of his patients of great importance, and to have met Janette who I am enjoying having a continued association with.  

The other positive that has come out of the discovery of the wonderful product of Biotape, is that I no longer have to take the very strong painkillers I was on, which had other side effects that were unpleasant and meking me feel unwell.  I just take a couple of Panadol during the day which is all I now need.

I want to wish Janette all the very best and thank her again for coming into my life.  I am now so much better able to deal with my condition.

All the very best,
