This study aimed to ascertain the effectiveness of using a combined treatment protocol of eliminating electromagnetic fields by use of the Farabloc technology and the exercise program of Mirror Therapy. The main hypothesis was that the combined treatment protocol would have a more significant effect than either treatment in isolation. Decreasing edema and the discomfort due to phantom limb pain would improve the functional activities and quality of life of vascular amputees with lower extremity amputations. This was found to be true.

An article in the respected British peer reviewed journal Clinical Rheumatology, published in January, 2007, by Dr. G.L. Bach and Dr. D.B. Clement.
The goal of our study was to determine the efficacy of Farabloc, an electromagnetic shielding fabric compared to placebo fabric when worn as a nightgown, as an analgesic in patients hospitalized with fibromyalgia. In a rheumatologic and rehabilitation hospital, we performed a phase 1, single-blind study of patients using Farabloc (F) or placebo (P) gowns for 8 h per night during the 20-day hospitalization and a phase 2, single-blind crossover study of patients using both F and P gowns randomly and alternatively switching after 10 of 21 days hospitalization.

The objective was to examine the evidence to determine the optimal management of phantom limb pain in the preoperative and postoperative phase of amputations.
Trials were identified by a systematic search of MEDLINE, review articles, and references of relevant trials from the period 1966-1999, including only English-language articles. Included trials involved a control group, any intervention, and reported phantom pain as an outcome.

1998 Research Paper “The Efficacy of Farabloc an Electromagnetic Shield in Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness”
Robert Tait McKenzie MedallionAt the Canadian Academy of Sports Medicine Annual General Meeting held at Whistler, British Columbia in 1998, the research paper “The Efficacy of Farabloc, an Electromagnetic Shield in Delayed onset Muscle Soreness was awarded the best research presentation for that year.
Dr. Robert Tait McKenzie
The Medallion presented to the research team commemorated Dr. Robert Tait McKenzie who was widely recognized for his work in medicine as well as physical education and sculpture. A prolific writer, athlete, artist and collector, this famous Canadian is remembered for his work at both McGill University and the University of Pennsylvania.
Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Centre
The Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Centre was established at the University of British Columbia in 1979. The first sports medicine centre to be established in a Canadian University which combined the Faculty of Medicine and the School of Human Kinetics, the reserve division is headed by another McKenzie, Dr. Don McKenzie. Under his leadership the UBC centre has developed a worldwide reputation for the study and application of exercise in the elderly, children with malignancy, breast cancer and for both hypo and hyperbaric conditions.
