Impulse 4000 was developed by Robert Bennett after continual pain and discomfort due to multiple injuries from childhood and while working on the land. Some injuries were just from being an inquisitive kid but most from hard work and work accidents. He had been crushed a number of times in horse and cattle work, the last time being in 2003 when he was charged by a bull and pinned to a paddock fence.
Rob suffered crushed ribs, a broken left hip, a smashed left ankle and an enormous amount of bodily bruising to the deepest levels of bone bruising. After 10 weeks in plaster and not being able to walk, move or even breathe easily without severe bouts of pain, most of his body had “healed” but the left ankle had been crushed badly and he was told that he would not recover its full use to any sustainable level.
Since Rob worked on a farm, without the use of his left foot, he couldn’t hoist himself into the saddle of a horse, drive the tractor, or trucks, or farm car, or even walk about the farm with any confidence or reasonable level of skill. The death of a dream!
Rob resorted to selling the property and livestock and moving to Brisbane in 2004. His days as a “country boy” were over. And his days of loving the farm life were stolen from him. Rob had to sell his manual car because he no longer had the power or precision in his left leg, ankle and foot to operate the clutch without fearing the worst on the roads.
Rob found work as a new car salesman, in finance and owned a demolition re-usables yard and laboured in his business also. Nothing to do with his passion for the land and animals. But while pegging out an area to dig for a Do-it-yourself project at home he bent down, and
couldn’t straighten up! He was in agony, bent over, hardly able to walk and alone at home.
Rob got himself to his car, and drove to the hospital. They admitted him into the emergency room and proceeded with doses of pain killers and the standard procedure of X-rays and MRI’s to enable a diagnosis. They eventually diagnosed “old Scheuermann’s disease”, and the prognosis was not pretty.
One site on the internet describes this disease as “Scheuermann’s disease is a forward curvature or kyphosis of the upper back area. Males and females are affected equally.
Less than 10 per cent of the population is affected by this condition. The exact cause is
unknown with the likelihood of pain, neurologic problems, and cardiopulmonary
impairment imminent”
Rob went back to his own doctor to be sure with a second set of Xrays and MRI’s but with the same diagnosis, the doctors recommended surgery that would cut the sciatic nerves from the lower back, “trim” the herniated discs and collapsed discs in his spine to reduce the current pressure on the spinal column, insert a stainless steel rod in his lower back for support and to reduce the future and possible movement of this area, all while having to take handfuls of pain killers and anti-inflammatory tablets every day “just
like smarties” (in Rob’s own words).
The doctors were also blunt with their discussions of “No guarantees for surgery outcomes” so that Rob could make an informed choice about his future. Rob chose to take himself home and do the best he could for the time being. Like many of us, he had hoped that it would just all go away. New hope!
Only months later, Rob had friends that were on their way up from Adelaide to see him. While driving to Brisbane, they were in a car accident and called Rob to say that they had heard about this “guy” that had a “machine” that could help and that they were going to stay in Tamworth for a while to get treatments done before continuing up to see him.
When his friends arrived at his house 3 weeks later, they were “better than brand new”. This old man that Rob had once known, could now bend down and put his palms on
the floor. With no sign of illness or injuries, and quickly recommended Rob travel to see this man with a “Pap-imi”machine and get started on his own road to recovery.
Rob travelled to Tamworth, NSW in sheer agony in the car, stopping every 20-40 minutes to regain feeling in his lower body and to relieve the pain. Rob only had a week
to do the treatments and paid for 6 treatments over 4 days, which in Rob’s book should have never been done.
Rob describes the treatments now as “Cruel” and “a feeling of being electrocuted!”. Rob was left feeling sick to the stomach with hardly any pain relief at the end of the treatments. He returned to Brisbane disheartened and disappointed.
Two weeks later, Rob returned for more treatments!! It worked!! Again he signed up for 6 of these cruel treatments over the week, and then managed to drive from Tamworth NSW to Wallangarra QLD (262kms) without having to stop once and being able to fully function at the other end with minimal to no pain. Rob knew that he was onto something big, but it was so excruciating to get treated.
Never the less he contacted the practitioner when he got back to Brisbane and asked where to buy the Pap-imi machine from. Rob ended up getting a ‘Magnapulse’ device for $38,500 AUD ordered and shipped from the United States, (where you can still buy these devices today).
He travelled to Tamworth to be trained on the device and brought it home to treat himself. “When I sat there and people saw me electrifying myself they thought I was crazy!” Rob recalls as he is smiling from ear to ear. “Then I turned it into a business; it took some time to slowly build up, but I ended up doing up to 50 treatments in a 4 day period at Port Macquarie, for example. I think the device did about 2500 treatments before it broke and I quickly figured out that I could not fix the device in Australia. I shipped it back to the US, where customs and the FDA (Federal Drug Administration USA) impounded the device as it was not a registered medical device. It took 6 months to get the device released into the USA, 2 days to fix and a week to return the device to Australia. In that time I had lost all of my clients, and sadly some that may never speak to me again, but I spent the time productively doing research into the devices and the theory behind the mechanics. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars at the universities and with the current manufacturer buying, installing, testing and destroying parts and prototype models only to be told that both the University and the manufacturer had serious doubts on the devices soundness and safeness.”
Rob persisted and redeveloped the device by changing the schematics, internal workings and its presentation to give the same result but with safe operation for both patient & practitioner. The secret……… cut out all of the dangerous EMF protrusion from the device.
So the current design and model is still non-invasive but delivers deep penetration of PEMF to the core of the body at an extremely low voltage and frequency so that the body can absorb the energy charge, like plugging a body into a power socket and literally recharging the cells at a cellular level.
Most older devices worked on a minimum of 10,000 volts up to 30,000 volts of electricity and would destroy other machinery and wipe credit cards meters away. Rob had seen a previous device electrically ‘arc’ from behind a person’s back to a metal chain 40cm above the person. There was no control in the power fluctuations being received or delivered by the device with the patient convulsing and jumping from the treatment table.
Rob has managed to find a way to regulate the energy flow of the Impulse 4000
device and to be able to control the delivery of energy so precisely that the application can be set to “surface, medium or deep” levels.
Treatment with Impulse 4000 is non invasive – treatments are undertaken fully clothed.
