Eraser
No, not the Ahnold movie. I'm talking about the StressEraser, a cutting-edge new product that I had the chance to preview in class this morning.
The point of the SE is to help people learn to control their biorhythms. By breathing a certain way, ones heart rhythms can be manipulated to bring the body into a state of deep relaxation.
The early returns on the machine show that it, at the least, calms people down. It also appears to be more effective in helping insomniacs sleep than Ambien. They started a one-year clinical trial recently to test the effects of the SE on sleeping patterns.
At $299, it's a bit pricy. But I am seriously motivated to go out and buy it. It seems like such a good idea -- so logically simple yet based on sound science.
For now, I guess I'll wait until prices come down some -- or maybe until insurance companies start paying for the device. (The company is currently working with some HMOs to try to get it approved as a device for reducing stress.) But if you have some money to spare, or some serious stress, I would recommend looking at the StressEraser.
