First, an expression of appreciation for the most diligent and kind manner in which you indoctrinated my office personnel with the use of the Alpha-Stim CS apparatus for management of chronic pain problems in my patient population. From this initial experience, I am quite confident that a percentage of my patients will indeed find that this markedly lessens their chronic medication support, and safely utilize the Alpha-Stim apparatus on a long term basis at  home. Most of the patients experience relaxation, and a number experiencing marked reduction and complete absence of pain while the apparatus was in use.

In light of this initial experience, which I am hopeful can be continued throughout the entire patient population by our staff personnel that have now received the indoctrination from your staff. This brings me to the second aspect of this communication, that being a staunch letter  of recommendation, encouraging other physicians to expose their patient population with establishing chronic pain to this same protocol, or a similar one. I am attempting to form a strong endorsement of the Alpha-Stim  principal and the apparatus through which it is now delivered, hoping that through your efforts a large patient population can be exposed to the benefits that I feel do exist in the utilization of this pain relieving modality.

Best personal regards,
RAEBURN C. LLEWELLYN, M.D.
