Neurologic Disease (Brain, Spinal and Nerves)



"AMRI has benefitted me with improved memory, balance, and cognition. I have my support system telling me that I am able to carry on conversations a great deal better. In my tai chi class I have noticed a marked improved balance. The staff of AMRI has been very helpful."

Thomas Francek (Multiple Sclerosis)



“I brag about the MME all the time...I stopped having grand mal seizures...I have more energy, better mental strength and the muscles on my left side have more strength. My memory has improved as well.”

Carissa Ferm (Traumatic Brain Injury)



"I feel the magnetic therapy has improved my overall physical condition. My fatigue has been reduced. I am able to concentrate longer on near distance tasks such as using the computer or reading my mail. I also notice less fatigue when out shopping or even watching TV.

In addition, my distance vision has improved, particularly in my right eye. Near vision my also be slightly improved.

Finally, I have noticed an improvement in color perception. Blues and purples appear brighter. I still get confused between reds and greens and often cannot tell them apart."

Richard Gerhardt (Optic Neuritis)




"Thank you all for your good help and being so encouraging and caring and open to greater possibilities. Allana has better tracking with her eyes, generally she is a lot more comfortable. Thank you for going the extra mile and getting a large ball for Allana to exercise on. She is getting back on track with eating with no distress, no coughing, no choking (Thank God!). She is kicking and pushing alot and the muscles of her jaw, arms, hands, legs and feet are a lot looser."

Carrissa Fitzsimons (Mother of 16 year old Allanna with Cerebral Palsy)




"I am 52 and have MS. I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in the research at AMRI-MI. The care and compassion I have received while there from Dr. Opipari and his entire staff has been exceptional. The healing I've experienced and the hope for a better quality of life is a blessing. I will be back, as it does take time, but for anyone with MS it is well worth the time and investment. I know I'm worth it!"

Deb Demenge (Multiple Sclerosis)




"Balance has drastically improved after treatment. Right arm mobility has improved. Use of right hand has increased such as writing and picking up coins. Right leg has more strength. Overall disposition has improved."

Bruna DelGrande (Corticobasilar Degeneration)




"Our experience with AMRI-MI was delightful. I’ve been sending everyone I come into contact with. One of the best features of your treatment is no side effects. As a mother of a child with Cerebral Palsy that is #1! Louis was stiff and hard to position -- now we find him to be loose and easier to manage. Louis has answered 'uh huh' twice to choice questions asked of him. He continues to turn his head to mid-line more and his hands are more pliable & useable."

Twyla Hauge/mother of Louis age 6 (Cerebral Palsy)




"It has really helped decrease the neuropathy pains in my legs ..."

Daniel Troyer (Diabetic Neuropathy)




"My treatment was relaxing and it helped me to improve on the problems I’ve had with diabetic neuropathy. I am now doing better buttoning buttons on my clothes, tying my shoe laces and picking up objects such as coins, paper clips and pills! I am happy with my magnetic treatment and AMRI-MI in every way! I feel better because of the magnetic treatment and hope these experiments help get FDA approval soon. I will spread the word about your help!"

Paul Lange (Diabetic Neuropathy)




"Because of Guillan Barre' Syndrome 30 years ago, my body in the last 6-7 years became very sensitive to any activity and would upset my nervous system. I had my legs treated and am so much improved. I can now ski with the grandchildren."

Joseph Kennedy (Generalized Peripheral Neuropathy/Post Guillan Barre' Syndrome)

Back and Neck (Vertebral) Problems



"I feel that I am a walking miracle due to the magnetic treatments. This has been a very positive experience which has changed my life back to normalcy. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Michael Opipari and AMRI for giving me the opportunity to live a normal life without surgery or the use of prescription drugs."

Carol Strobel – (Degenerative Disc Disease)



“Before MME, very much pain in neck and left shoulder...did not want surgery. After MME, zero meds and zero pain. I’m back to a normal life.”

Michael Krol – (Herniated Disc - Cervical Spine)



"My experience with AMRI of Michgan was excellent. I entered the facility with a clear diagnosis of two herniated discs in my lower back. An x-ray and a MRI showed the herniations. In addition to back pain, I experienced shooting pains down my left leg and numbness in my left foot. The discs were herniated twenty years earlier, but the pain and numbness had worsened in recent years. Back surgery was assuredly somewhere in my future.

I approached AMRI of Michigan with both hope and skepticism. The doctors that examined me at AMRI-MI and the staff that helped me through the experience gave me reason to expect good results. Having now completed one hundred hours of treatment at AMRI-MI, I can testify that my back pain and the numbness in my left foot are dramatically reduced. I have not experienced any shooting pains in my left leg. The numbness in my foot is only very slight. And, most significantly, I can stand and sit for extended periods of time without pain in my lower back."

John Stephens (Herniated Disc)




"At the time I started magnetic treatments, I couldn't turn my head as the pain in my neck was so bad. I could hardly do housework or bend because of back pain. After taking five weeks of magnetic treatments, I was 50% better. Since ending my treatments I continued to improve and now, eight months later, I have no pain at all.

I am very happy to have been able to take these treatments and I would recommend them to anyone who has pain."

Donna Wickenhiser (Post Polio/Degenerative Joint Disease - Neck and Back)




"My experience at AMRI-MI was positive in every respect. When I arrived I was in terrible pain, hardly able to walk, I had to use a wheelchair in the airports. When I left AMRI-MI, I felt ever so much better. The airport experience alone was remarkable. I must have walked miles that day. I was forced to walk the maximum distance between points to retrieve baggage, to get the shuttle to get to my car, all without much pain. I knew then I was recovering my strength and ability to function."

Lynn Sullivan (Herniated Disc)




"At approximately 7 weeks post treatment I feel great....Most days I am pain free. I am in no pain even when doing the things that aggravated my condition before treatment. My body continued to heal well after I left AMRI-MI. Thank you to all the staff. You are wonderful people. I’m grateful for the reassurance and wonderful care I received. I’ve gone from being in pain everyday to hardly any pain ever."

Cheryl Baer (Cervical Herniated Disc)




"My treatments eliminated pain in my lower back and front of my shoulder. My neck, shoulder, back and arm improved a lot."

Doug Boone (Cervical Herniated Disc)




"I used to wake up every morning - my whole body in pain dreading the day - my back hurt, my arms, legs, neck. A constant pain throughout my body. After approximately 14 days at AMRI-MI, my life has completely changed. It was the most miraculous experience of my life - amazing! All the pain is gone and my personality is returning to normal. I'm happy again, living pain free. This experience was amazing and completely changed every aspect of my life. The staff went above and beyond their job. I can never thank you all enough!

Melissa Devine (Juvenile Lumbar Disc Disease)




"The pain behind my left ear is mostly gone, 60% better ... I am more alert most days ... most evenings I would rate 60% better than when I came to the clinic. The thing which surprises me the most is that I can think better, was able to match papers to accounts. These have confused me for over 3 years and I sorted them out ... 3 years worth!!! I have more energy and am more alert!

Luella Courneyea (Cervical Radiculopathy with Severe Headache)




"When I first came in for my consultation I couldn't sit or stand still for very long because I was in so much pain from my back but now 2 weeks since my last treatment I can honestly say I'm about 80% better overall. I still have my bad days, but the good days out weigh the bad by far. Thank you to Dr. Opipari for being so kind and taking the time to explain everything in such detail that theres no way anyone would not understand what they are about to experience. And the staff, well you are awesome. Thanks for giving me my life back. The MME treatment center is a great place. What you are all doing is going to help alot of people. God bless you all!

April Todd (Degenerative Disc Disease)




"The pain on the bottom of my feet is mostly gone and I can walk much more normally now. This is the only treatment that has helped me in 7 years..."

Sandra Clifton (Lumbar Spine Nerve Compression/Foot Radiculopathy due to Nerve Compression)

Jeff Garcia – Current NFL Quarterback (Fractured left fibula/high left ankle sprain)


"AMRI-MI, God bless what you do! It sure helped me and your staff was awesome! No more need for braces on the elbows! Thanks You!"

Luther Ellis, Former Detroit Lions Football Player (Elbow Tendonistis/Bursitis)




"This was my last effort before surgery. My doctor wanted to fuse my back...To my surprise I experienced major pain relief after having the MME treatment. Now I can function like a normal person. I never thought that after an 11 year career in the NFL I could have this much pain relief!
AMRI-MI, Thanks for the great care!"

Kent Graham, Former NFL Quarterback (Herniated Disc)




"AMRI-MI helped me get back in lacrosse sooner. Swelling and pain went down much faster."

Heart and Lung


"I believe the MME treatment has helped my chronic obstructive lung disease [emphysema]. It has had a good effect on my emotional outlook and has given me more hope than I expected. The treatment has allowed me to take a deep breath whenever I want to."

Eileen Dodman (Emphysema)




"It definitely helped."

Henry Ledgard (Cardiac Palpitations and Exertional Fatigue)




"The overall experience was highly beneficial. I continue to feel a bit more energized each day and able to do more."

Bone and Joint Disease


"I was in constant pain when I heard about AMRI, and had a left total hip replacement scheduled for the end of April. My right hip would be done about six to nine months later. I had to quit working because I could no longer walk or stand without severe pain. I was skeptical when I heard about molecular magnetic therapy, and after talking to Dr. Opipari had decided to try it on my right hip. To me, my left hip was beyond healing. As the weeks went on, my pain kept increasing and I decided to try it on my left hip. After approximately 50 hours I noticed a huge difference. That day I moved things up and down stairs with ease. That night, however, the pain was coming back. I realized that I had overdone what my body could handle because I felt so good. It took about 20 hours before I was back to the 80 hour point. I continued, and am standing straight (previously I had been bent over). My leg goes into flexion and extension (it had been locked for over six months). My friends cannot believe me when they see me. I am walking with a normal gait, no limp, and stand straight. My total therapy was 120 hours, and I know that my body is still rebuilding and healing. If you are struggling with the decision to try molecular magnetic therapy, I know what you are going through. I would recommend this therapy to anyone, and have been telling all my friends about it. I am living WALKING proof that it works."

Mary Jo Germain (Degenerative Hip Disease)



“The (MME) treatment improved my condition 100%. I have had full function in my knee and wish I had known about this treatment years ago. I am completely satisfied and recommend the treatment highly.”

Elizabeth Sherwood (Degenerative Disease – Left knee)



"I feel this treatment has helped me in a way that nothing but time can ... it is so nice to have relief. Although nothing is perfect this was such a positive experience and I am recommending it to other family members. Thanks guys, you are the best!"

Irene Singer (Non-Healed Cervical Spine Fusion)




"I had severely injured my hand. I could not make a closed fist and it frequently tingled. My joints were locked. My hand is not 100% where it was prior to injury but it is significantly better after treatment. It has continued to improve even after treatment was completed."

Victoria Harshall (Tendonitis)

Healing Enhancement


"Today is the 9th day since the surgery and I have been driving the car and walking around a half a mile block daily since the 5th day. My husband observed that I 'shuffled in' and walked out of AMRI-MI. I occasionally have a short stab of pain but nothing compared to the 8 years of misery I had before. Thank you for your pioneering work and your bold decision to get the equipment, set up the center, and track patient experience. We were so happy to witness virtual miracles and pictures of the healings."

Jane Greiner (Bilateral Hammertoe Surgery)




"I have had this surgery before so I know the pain and recovery involved. It definitely speeded healing and lessened pain!"

Carol Newman (Abdominoplasty)

Miscellaneous


“RSD took Sheila away for 8 years. The MME treatment gave me back my life, health and spirit! I’m ME again after 8 long years!”

Sheila Krol (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy)



"Although the staff of AMRI-MI told me they had no previous experience with glomus tumors, I went there with the hope of shrinking the tumor on the right side of my neck which was restricting my throat. After 78 hours of treatment there was no indication of a decrease in size. I would like to report however, that after returning home I have seen a gradual decrease in the tumor. I want to thank Dr. Opipari and the staff for their concern and caring for me."

Diana Carrales (Glomus tumor)




"Suffering with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome for the past 7 or so years I have tried just about everything in order to relieve some of the pain, aching and constant 'worn out' feeling. I would like to be able to report that after a total of 188 hours of treatment at AMRI-MI I have been completely healed. That is not the case -- YET. However, after 10 days post therapy I can say that my pain and aching is over 80% gone! The staff and therapy have been a godsend to us."

Carlos Carrales (Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue)
