Please note, that I'm giving Sunshine Nutrition Center a 2 star review because of my experience, and not because of the products they sell.
As I was visiting the Sunshine Nutrition Center in Smyrna, the woman working there recommended that I try the "biofeedback" session offered at this Murfreesboro location. She raved about how this test could reveal all sorts of answers to my many health problems. Despite my skepticism, I thought I would give it a try. When you are in chronic pain, you'll try just about anything.
When I showed up for my biofeedback appointment, they couldn't find where I was scheduled and gave me the impression that I was somehow inconveniencing them. No smiles, no "how are you today". Anyway, they bring me into their back room which looked more like a storage closet. The floors were dirty, the chair was uncomfortable and the introduction as to what I was actually receiving was poor.
How it works is they hook you up to wired straps, which then connect to the "biofeedback" device. This machine supposedly reads your energy levels. After 1 hour of sitting uncomfortably hunched over (to compensate for the short cables they attach to you), I was given a breakdown of the machine's results.
The whole thing was very odd. What I find most strange is that this magic machine looks like it was constructed in the 80's and purchased on ebay for $50. For such strong claims about how great "biofeedback" apparently is, where is the science or evidence to back up any of this up? Upon further research, I found an article that explained how one woman went to multiple biofeedback practitioners...each providing her with completely different results. Not very definitive at all. I could later vouch for this, as I had a second biofeedback reading at a different facility.
Anyway... the practitioner asks you a bunch of questions and bases her findings on your answers. Then when they intend to scare you into thinking you have a half dozen different ailments, they then offer you products (that they sell of course) which can help treat the mentioned problems.
If there was any professionalism to this practice, they wouldn't bring their clients into a filthy, cluttered and uncomfortable room and make snake oil salesman style claims without any science to back any of this up.
I'm sorry folks... but this is a money trap for the gullible or desperate. At least I knew going in that the whole thing was probably bogus, but I had to find out for sure. Again... when you're in a lot of pain, you'll try about anything. read more
