Debra's Story

Deborah had seven strokes in her brainstem and cerebellum in March 2024. She credits LifeWave patches, particularly the X39 and X49, with her full neurological recovery and improvements in balance, sensation, and chronic pain. The patches use reflected infrared light to stimulate the body's own healing peptides.
Chapters
Good evening, everyone. Thank you so much for joining us this evening. We are so excited you're here. I'm Nikki McCutchen. I will be your host. Um, I am just— this story tonight is just truly amazing. This is why we do what we do, is because we get to watch people have these amazing results. So I'm just going to start with our disclaimer. Um, all of the technology we will be discussing tonight is not, um, to treat, diagnose, or prevent any disease. If you are pregnant or nursing or on medications, always recommend, just like with any diet or exercise program, that you make sure to check with your preferred healthcare practitioner first. So with that, I am super excited to introduce you to my new friend Deborah. We were on a Zoom call last week together, and I was just like— she started telling me some of her stuff, and I'm like, oh, can you please come on and tell all my friends what has happened to you? So I'm super excited to have her here tonight. And so I am just going to let her share her story with you, you know, what had happened to her her and then how she ended up getting started and what she has noticed since then. So, Deborah, I will let you take it away.
Awesome. Thank you so much, Nikki. It was really fun being on the call last week. And, um, when anytime I hear somebody mention stem cell or whatever, I'm like, are you on LifeWave? Because I'm like, I, I, I love it. And, um, to kind of back up a little bit for those of you that maybe joined kind of weird or whatever or didn't hear my original story, but In 2024, um, actually March 11th, so it was yesterday, was my second year anniversary. Um, I had a stroke, and, um, and I had— I, I've had over— overweight issues, but— and I've been, you know, kind of like borderline diabetes and some of that kind of stuff. They've been kind of watching all that. Anyway, so I did my— had my stroke. I had 7 acute infarcts, um, in my brainstem and lateral cerebellum. And so I was not swallowing, so I couldn't do any— no drinking, no anything. Everything had to go through a PEG tube for 30 days until I was able to swallow again. But I had— I would say I had full recovery from my stroke. I can walk and talk and drive, and I had no sight or vision or anything like that. No damage. You know, neurology is all checked out. All of that stuff is all good. And essentially, I was kind of sassy and my normal self, even after the stroke, they were just like, you're just not displaying the typical stroke stuff. Because I did not have any Bell's palsy, and I had no, like, loss of control on either side. I just had some tingling and some, like, weird sensation stuff. So, um, after the stroke, I had been in BNI, and one of the gals in one of my chapters had called me after the stroke, and she goes, when you're kind of, like, stabilized and you kind of know what things are going, call me because I have something that will you. And I was like, I'm all for anything that will help, help me be more alert, maybe, you know, more focused, being able to kind of like— because I felt a little, you know, a little weird. And that part of that is just because you're not working and you're having to rely on everybody to do stuff for you. And, and then when you can't swallow, that was really bizarre. So I went through that whole thing and then she got me hooked on the X39 and that was probably about 3 months after my stroke. And just it was pretty immediate after starting to wear them that I just felt better. I felt like I could feel, you know, the sensations were better on the left side. I felt my balance was better. I didn't have the menopausal hip pain and some stuff that I had had a little bit before, but it wasn't really like anything that an Advil here and there would take care of. And so, but it all kind of went away.. And so I was like, okay, this is really cool. And so then we were kind of, you know, we've been talking and I was like, I really like this. And she's like, you should try the X-49 coupled with the X-39. And this was probably another couple months later because she wanted me to kind of get in the groove with it. And I was like, okay, if it'll make it better, I'm in, you know. And so I was like, all right, I'll double patch, we're good, you know. And so I started— and I, if I forget them, I am sad because I know I'm going to have a little bit of a rougher day. I'm not going to feel as good and be as peppy and like my usual cheerful self, you know. And so, um, I was— I like, sometimes I'll even— I was telling Nikki that occasionally I'll be like, it depends on how far away from the house I've gotten to where I'm like, oh crap, I forgot my patches. And so now I have spare set that I keep at the office just in case. But, um, you know, I've just— I'm like, I've turned around if it's close. Like, if I got to the end of the street, I'm like, oh, I'm going back and I gotta get them on. But, um, it's been crazy just how much better I feel when they're on.
And then you added the X49. What, what shift did you notice with that?
You know, the interesting thing is, is I had always had a little bit of like tightness in my neck and shoulders. And so— and it was I've gone to the chiropractor. I have a minor fracture that had happened in my L3. And so I had been in chiropractic work for most of my adult life, horseback rider here. And so I got thrown off of a horse when I was in my 20s and kind of hurt my back. But it wasn't— it was never like debilitating and I never had like real problems. But occasionally I would like have a tweak or you kind of have that little twinge. But what I had noticed the last, probably my desk riding years, if you will, say the last, you know, 7 to 10 years, I've been mostly in an office environment. And so I would have this stiff neck. And I know that if I put the patches on, it just kind of relieves that. And so I don't— I'm just not as stiff. And I'm, I'm still not like super yoga girl as far as I could stretch and do all kinds of stuff, but I'm just not nearly as stiff. And I feel like I have way better balance when I'm wearing both of them patches.
And then you have the improvements with your neck and even in your stiffness and mobility with adding the X49. That's awesome.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that I just feel my general well-being. I just feel better when they're on versus when they're off.
Yeah. Yeah. Which is huge, like, for us to feel better, right? Like, I mean, because it makes a difference in how you do your day.
It does. It absolutely does. And I had a little scare in '25 with a cancer. I had a little spot on my shin and they took that off. And so, you know, Tricia was like, okay, you need to try the Aeon because it'll help with that. And so I pretty much use the Aeon either on my foot or my ankles and kind of rotate it between legs. But I had no swelling post-surgery or anything like that. Because I was wearing the patch pretty much every day after the surgery. And we did all the normal treatments and stuff like that as far as making sure the, you know, every— but I still feel like the stem cell patches, the X39 and X49, coupled with the AON, I think it healed better and faster because I just had no pain, no, like, my skin wasn't all crusty or anything like you could see in the pictures and stuff. And I was just like, okay, this This stuff is awesome.
So yeah, that's awesome.
So that was kind of it. So I mean, I'm happy and been on it, and I tried the glutathione. I think— I can't think, I didn't say it right, but it's one of the Y age ones. I tried that and I didn't really feel anything with that, but I've been doing the sleep nights, um, Silent Nights or whatever, the sleep one that they sent out the demo, and I've tried that for the last 3 days and I have slept sounder. No waking up, no— like, I would get occasionally— I'll get— I have a kind of a bad knee, and I would get some— it would wake me up in the middle of the night. But I have not woken up the last two nights with my knee.
And so I'm wearing it on your knee?
I wear it right behind my knee.
Behind your knee.
So kind of like on my, on my calf, like right below the knee on my calf is where I've been wearing it.
So Okay, but on the, on the outside of your knee or actually like behind your knee?
It's behind your knee. Yeah. On the right above my calf, like the top of your calf muscle right behind my knee.
So why did you pick that spot?
Well, that was just kind of what it looked like in the picture where, you know, it was one of the placement spots. And so I was like, the pain I was having was on in my leg, in my knee, you know, and I have a little bit of like tingly in my ankle and stuff like that at night. And so So I, I just was like, I'm gonna try it on the— on my, like, right behind my knee to see if it'll help with that big— because you have that big stretchy muscle that goes down to your ankle. And I was like, all right, well, we'll see if that helps the both. And it has.
So I was like, that is incredible. Okay, so Vicki, I want you to put your thinking cap on. Pastor Ed, maybe you too. What in Silent Night would cause that? Like, I— this is something we've never heard before. Like, that's not something that I know that I would relate to pain. So I'll have you all come on here in a minute and give me your two cents. So I'll let you think a little bit while Deborah's still telling her story. But that's incredible. And so, Deborah, it's only been, what, like 3 nights?
Yeah, 3 nights I've been on that. And so it's just been— I'm like, we slept completely through last night. No get up at all. And I was like, okay, that was awesome. And that's night 3. So I was like, okay, I may have to add the Silent Night patch in there. So I'm like, I'm still in the demo pack right now. So I'm like, okay, I got to call Tricia and go like, all right, I'm going to have to add another one.
So are you still wearing Aeon every day? Yes. Okay. So interesting. Oh my gosh, that's fantastic. I know. It's like once you get started, you— I mean, like when you know all the benefits, you just can't stop. It's just like, okay, yeah, if I, if I can have that benefit and this benefit and that benefit, like, yes, I'll just keep putting all the patches on me. I love it. That's incredible.
Well, Tricia, the gal that— the gal that I get them through, you know, my LifeWave contact, she— I mean, she's like fallen and she will— she will do them like direct to, you know, direct to, you know, on a spot if she's, you know, like hurt her wrist or whatever. And I haven't— I just haven't needed to do anything like that where I've had to apply them directly, you know, to something. But Uh, you know, with the, the silent, I just was reading the little book and I was like, I don't— okay, it's not really— it's not chest or— and I have a CPAP that I sleep with and I just sleep with, you know, I've been sleeping really great. And so I'm kind of like, all right, I'm getting 100% on my, you know, I'm on my sleep night. And then I didn't wake up last night at all.
So I'm kind of like, all right, if we can do this, we'll see if it's a— your CPAP shows you how well you sleep in a percentage.
Yes, it gives you— you have a, uh, there's a percentage of how well you've, how well you've done your nights and stuff like that at the end. So whether you're— I think it has something to do with oxygenation and stuff like that too. But I mean, I've been 100 since you started the Silent Night patch. No, it's— I've been doing that since I've been really— if I get a good sleep and I feel like with the exercise. I mean, I'm able to exercise a little bit more and walk better and do— and all of that, I think, is, is the combination of the patches. And I'm not on a ton of meds, so I don't take a ton of meds. I do have a blood pressure med that's also a beta blocker that's for my heart condition. And then I have a murmur, and then I have— I'm on a, you know, a cholesterol medicine. And so that's pretty much, you know, in a diabetes medicine. But I mean, I'm on all those things that they diagnosed while I was in the hospital that kind of came about because of my stroke.
So, yeah. So, okay, so you were getting the 100% with your CPAP before you started the Silent Night, right?
But I wasn't sleeping through the night.
Oh, interesting. So where is the CPAP? What's it hooked up to to measure that?
The machine, like, transfer— there's a little machine that it plugs into and it has all the reservoir with the distilled water. And so it's kind of flowing all through the night. So it's blowing air to keep your airway clear so you're able to breathe and not stop breathing during the night. And that was my problem. I was having sleep apnea, so I was like stopping breathing through the night.
So, so it's helped with that. Is it hooked up to like, where is it hooked to your body to measure how well it goes over my nose?
So it's blowing into my nose and then I have a chin strap that keeps my mouth shut.
So it's measuring how much ox— how much air is pushed through your body to say whether your airways are staying open to get 100% sleep. But you notice sleeping better and not waking up when you added the Silent Night and no pain.
And that was the big thing. I'm not waking up with, like, sometimes, I don't know, you would I would just have knee pain, like the ache where you have like the joint aching and like my ankle and my knee would ache and just my knee wasn't tingly. My ankle would sometimes have the little like tingles, you know, like it's asleep. And some of that I think is residual stroke, you know, stuff where I have this sensation variation. So it's kind of strange, but that was what my neurologist called it.
So, yeah, so interesting. So, so how long have you been wearing the patches then, using them?
Well, it was probably June of '24.
'24. So we're almost—
it'll be almost 2 years.
Yeah, almost 2 years. That's amazing. Fantastic. I love it. Yes. And then getting to add, add some extra ones to try. That's, that's fantastic.
And I have— I mean, they send me the, you know, LifeWave sends you the little stuff that comes in, and I always try all the different things that they send me. Absolutely. And some of it, like the one I just— I was like this, I just felt nothing on it. So I was kind of like, all right, I don't need— I tried it for its 10 days or whatever, and I was like, yeah, that's nothing. Because I felt so much better with the others, I was just like, I'm not gonna not— yeah, do this. Yeah. And I feel good with the Aeon on my ankle or my foot, or sometimes I'll put it on my hand or whatever.
So yeah, what do you notice with the Aeon? What do you— what you feel?
You know, it was like, for— it was really— it like keeps— I feel like there's no swelling. I wouldn't get any of this swelling, and I have less tingling in my feet when I wear it on my ankle or my foot.
So that's awesome. Yeah, so exciting, right? When the body just— the body just then does what it wants to do and it tries to bring itself back into balance. That's how we're designed from our Creator. So that's so cool.
That's what I figured. I'm like, hey, if the stem cells are working and they kind of regenerate some of this stuff that got routed funny or whatever in my, in my, you know, I'm like, I know our— we only use a certain amount of our brain capacity and all that stuff, that there's way more out there, but I just am like, okay, this is working, so I'm gonna keep doing this, you know.
So yes, yeah, so, so Vicki texted in for me, actually it was Pastor Ed, so yes, thank you all. When I'm talking and trying to listen and focus, my my— like you said, my brain, my brain capacity is not working and trying to think like, how would the connections— like, I'm trying to work that out. So Pastor Ed said the connection usually comes from how the patch influences relaxation, sleep quality, and the nervous system balance. So that's why you're sleeping deeper and better. But it would also make sense when you're influencing that relaxation and the nervous system balance, why the pain then would also not be there at night. So I have never— I've never thought that all that through. So thank you so much, Pastor Ed, for adding that, because that's like— to, to put that together too, it's, it's sometimes just those little pieces of education that I think are so important for people to go, okay, like, this, this would be a good reason for me to, you know, consider using this or trying, you know, trying something different, or even like a different placement. Like, I've never put it on the back of my knee, but it was so funny listening to you talk, made me think about how I actually have like this knee brace with magnets in it that I've— I don't even know— had for 10 or 15 years because I had reconstructive knee surgery in high school. And, and I used— before patching, I remember pulling that on and I have not thought about that one time in the last 3 years of patching. So with you talking about all that tonight, I thought, oh my goodness, like I am not thinking— I haven't thought about that knee brace and putting that on in literally forever. And that was one thing that I had. That's the other thing is these slow changes that happen to us over time and the compounding effect that happens in your body when our regenerative cells get up and get moving and working on our behalf. These things that we totally don't even register that are happening for us. And so that's a reason to just never stop, never stop patching things that you forgot you had a problem with and then they're gone. So that's Absolutely amazing. So yes, very, very cool.
Yes, it was funny. I had it one time, I missed, you know, like I, I had a card, a credit card that had changed numbers, gotten the new card, and I probably forgot to update it. And so I'm— my, my order didn't ship, you know, I was on an auto ship and everything. My order didn't ship. So I'm calling Tricia going, my order didn't ship, I just replaced the card and everything, I need a loaner. And so she was like, she was like, come meet me tomorrow and I'll get you some loaners to tide you over until your comes in and then you can just replace them. And I'm like, okay, that sounds great. So she's awesome and kind of takes really good care of me.
So yeah, that's awesome. I love that. That's what I love about the people that are helping people with this business and helping them get their patches is we all genuinely care about people and we want them to feel better. And so I love that she's taking good care of you. That's absolutely amazing. Yes. Yeah. So I'm just going to go over the technology real quick so everybody understands how that is, is happening and what's going on in our body. So it is an FDA-compliant general wellness product. It's a Class 1 medical device that's completely non-transdermal, meaning there's nothing that transfers from the patch into your body. Let's see, this is what it looks like. This is what we're talking about. Looks like a tiny little Band-Aid. That's what's crazy, right? Looks like a tiny little Band-Aid. Medical-grade plastic, completely hypoallergenic adhesive. It has a 96% effectiveness rate, which is truly jaw-dropping in the industry. It's why Deborah has gotten, the results that she's gotten, why she noticed things so quickly. She was obviously very well hydrated because hydration makes a huge, you know, important— everything in our body works off of hydration. So it's not just this patch technology, it's literally anything going on with us works better in our body when we are well hydrated. So proper electrolytes, good high-quality water makes a huge difference. So that 96% effectiveness rate is what makes the difference. They cannot even say that with a stem cell injection. That would be the only thing comparable on the market. And basically, if you have a problem and you're thinking about stem cell injections, you go in and they'll tell you, we have no idea if this is going to work for you or not. And that's going to cost thousands and thousands of dollars for you to try it for no idea. Whereas this amazing technology is available to people for a 96% effectiveness rate. So truly jaw-dropping and remarkable. We have over 200 patents, over 90 clinical studies. You can go and see all of these at patchtheway.com, P-A-T-C-H-T-H-E-W-A-Y.com, if you want to dive deep into the science. So it's very well scientifically backed. The company's been around for 20 years, and we just continue to do more, get more patents, and do more scientific studies, and, um, get more clinical studies. So it's truly remarkable. So how does it actually work? What is going on in Deborah's body when she places this on her body? So it is just a big word, okay, that you don't need to know, but it— I'll explain it in a minute— is photobiomodulation. Big fancy word that you don't have to know, but you actually already participate in it every single day. So when you go out into the sun and the sun hits your skin and your eyes, it tells your body to make vitamin D. That vitamin D then goes and does what it was already designed to do in the body anyway. This works that very same way, only our bodies become the heat source and the light source that is reflected off the center of this patch. So, um, works through a process that is when you're looking through night vision goggles— watch, you know, if you see that on a movie or in the military. Before, Deborah and I were talking about, um, the company she works for is veteran-owned. I was talking about the fact that my husband is a veteran. And so thank you, all of you veterans out there and everyone serving our country. We so appreciate everything that you've done. Um, so if you've done that, you know, you've, you've looked through night vision goggles, you're talking about seeing a heat signature. That heat signature, you're seeing different colors of light. That light scientifically is low-grade infrared light that they're calling a heat source. So the heat source is coming from the light. That infrared light hits the center of this patch. The center of this patch is organic amino acids and salts in a reflective structure, uh, that is like a mirror. So our own body's light source hits that center, reflects back into the body at a very specific frequency that turns on a peptide called GHK copper peptide. This peptide is known as the fountain of youth. It was found over 50 years in the body. There's 50 years of research on what it does in the body, all of these amazing things. One of the things is that it turns on regenerative cells. Those cells then can go and do anything your body so desires or deems necessary. So that's why Deborah is having support. She feels better across her body. She has more vitality. She feels like she's balancing better, like there's more reduction in any kind of issues that aren't feeling right in her body. So sleeping better, just more energy, feels more like herself, her bubbly self. So all of those things is what helps to balance with regenerative cells. Your body can do that. Supports your entire cardiovascular system at the mitochondrial level. So your heart, your blood vessels, the lining of your blood vessels. It supports your brain. So talking about having brain clarity and thinking clear, anxiety and depression begin to lift. You just feel better. She's talking about just feeling more vital, having more energy, feeling better. All of those things start to come back at about 6 weeks. That's what our clinical tests show. So that's super helpful. All of us, as we age— we talked a little bit about menopause and perimenopause— and, and those things start to go for us women. And we're like, please, can I just have my brain back? Like, if I could just have my brain back. So that was one of the things for me that was huge, just having that clarity come back, not feeling like I was forgetting things. All your Collagen is also supported. 28 different types of collagen in your body. So it's not just hair, skin, and nails. It's your ligaments, it's your tendons, it's your fascia, it's the lining in every single organ. The collagen literally is the glue that holds our bodies together across our body. So having that all be supported as well, your immune system— we all want better immune systems. We want to feel good each and every day. So having that immune system support is truly remarkable as well. The wound healing, which is what you were talking about, Deborah, with your ankle. Just having that inflammation feel like it's, it's going down and it's not there. And so you feel better because you're not getting that stagnation in the body because there's movement happening. So that allows you to feel better instead of feeling that, you know, those issues, the swelling and different things like that that cause us to not feel well. So, um, hydration I already talked about, which we need. Just like Deborah's talking about, she's been wearing it for 2 years. So, Deborah, will you ever stop patching?
I'm not seeing that happening. Yes. I mean, I just—
I—
the days I forget it, it's— that just proves to me that I'm like, okay, this works and it makes me feel better. So why change something that's working?
So exactly. Yes. Yeah. I always tell people I will have a patch on my body until Jesus comes to get me.
No, exactly.
There is no reason to stop patching. And I always talk to people too about the fact of how— so tell me, how easy is this to use, Deborah?
Oh, it's super easy. I mean, I just, I, I have them all right on my desk right by my purse, so I— that's how I don't forget them as much as I did when I was first starting doing it. But now I, every day I just put my patches on before I walk out the door and grab my coffee. I mean, I usually haven't eaten or anything before that, so I just get them on. I've taken my other vitamins and stuff like that, and then I'm off to the races.
Absolutely. Yes. Super easy. So you're always— I talk to people all the time. We're always either making one of two choices. We are either investing in our health or we're investing in our illness. And there is no easier way that I know of to invest in your health than to take a few seconds to put a tiny little patch on your body to get all of these amazing benefits. It truly is the largest return on your investment than you could ever possibly make. I've been in the fitness industry and the health industry pretty much most of my adult life, and I have never seen something as easy and as simple and affordable as this technology to make this kind of difference in people's health. So with that, Deborah, is there anything else you'd like to say?
You know, no, I just, I mean, I believe in the, the company, so I just, I think it's been a, it's been great for me and And I will likely be adding the Silent Nights to the, to the process. Um, and I just, you know, so far it's just been excellent, and I just like feeling better.
So yeah, absolutely, absolutely. So yes, so thank you so much, Deborah, for coming on and sharing your story tonight. We so appreciate you and being— well, your story is just going to bless so many people, and that's what we're here to do. Sharing is caring. That's why we do what we do. It's why we share the technology, because if we can help somebody else, it makes all the difference. So thank you for sharing us with us tonight. Please, if you want to know more, go to patchtheway.com. Get back with the person who invited you to call tonight. Tell them you're ready to get started. Don't wait. Get started today. Deborah, what would you say about that? Would you tell people— what would you say if they're hesitating?
If you're hesitating, I mean, you don't have to go all in with all of the stuff that I'm on, but start with the X39. It'll make a difference. Difference in the way that you feel. And I mean, I, I just kept adding stuff, and I've tried other things, but anytime I take it off and I'm, I'm just like— I've even left them on too long. You're supposed to wear them for 12 hours, and I've left them on too long, and I don't feel bad, but I'm just like, oh, oops, you know. Yeah, it's still on and I'm in bed, you know. So I'll take it off.
And yeah, I did forget to say that 12 hours on, 12 hours off. I put mine on in the morning when I get up. I take them off at night before I go to Unless it's, of course, the Silent Night, a nighttime patch, then you're going to wear that at night. But otherwise, yes.
Yeah, that's my flip over now. And that's been nice having that because I'm like, oh, these off, this one on, and I'm good to go.
So. Exactly. Yes. Yes.
It is. It's not expensive in the, in this grand scheme of medical things that you can do and supplements and all this kind of stuff. It's really not expensive and You know, it's just worth it.
Absolutely. Absolutely. It's the only thing that's going to allow us to reverse our age. There's a whole lot of great anti-aging things out there, and that can help slow down aging as we're taking care of ourselves. But there's nothing else that can cause us to actually reverse our age from the inside out like this technology can and be shown in blood work. So truly, truly amazing. So get back with the person who invited you tonight. Again, Deborah, thank you so much for joining us, and we pray blessing over each and every one of you. Good night, everyone. Good night, Deborah.
Thank you so much.
God bless. Thanks, Deborah, for sharing your, your story with us.
Oh, you're so welcome. It was nice to meet you all. Yes, I'm sorry. You're good.
It was awesome. Good night.
