In this personal testimonial, the speaker recounts a long history of severe back pain and migraines, including multiple nerve‑burn procedures that required high doses of the opioid Norco. After a three‑month trial of Aeon and X39 stem‑cell patches in May with no noticeable relief, the speaker ran out of patches before a scheduled medical procedure in late July. Encouraged by a friend, they resumed using the patches immediately before and after surgery. On the fourth day of the new regimen, the patches arrived, and the speaker applied Aeon to the back, noting a modest drop in pain from a 10‑15/10 rating to a 9/10. They then used an IceWave device on acupressure points K27 and K1, which further reduced pain to a 6/10—a level they had not experienced in 13 years. The narrative highlights the timeline of product use, specific pain scores, opioid consumption (four Norco pills over five weeks versus usual three per day), and the perceived effectiveness of the patches and IceWave device in providing significant pain relief.

Chapters

In May, I started with Aeon and X39 for 3 months faithfully, and I was told your stem cells know what your body needs better than you. So I was not seeing any relief in my migraines. I wasn't seeing any relief in my back pain, but every day faithfully I used them. Kind of ran out of money, so I couldn't reorder. I had a medical procedure at the end of July, and my dear sweet Francis encouraged me to use all the patches and to use them right away before surgery and after surgery. And I don't know if you've ever had someone burn your nerves, but I'd had it done 4 different times, and it's excruciating. It would get better and keep me out of a wheelchair for about 4 months, and then I would have to do it again. I take a very strong medication called Norco. It's an opioid. When I have these procedures, it's a 10 out of 10 or 15 out of 10. The pain is just excruciating. I would have to take at least 3 a day. For a minimum of 5 weeks. So that's 111 pills, and by God's grace, I did not get addicted. So this time, the patches hadn't come in, and I was on the 4th day, and I tried really hard. I'd only taken 4 of the narcotic pills. August 2nd, The patches came! Exclamation point. I put the Aeon on my back. I got some relief. I was a 9 out of 10. It went down a few points. 11:30, I tried the IceWave on the acupressure points of K27 and K1. That was supposed to help with all over pain, and it did. The pain went down surprisingly to a 6 out of 10, and you have to understand For 13 years, I never had a 6 out of 10.
