IBT success stories / testimonials
I have suffered Congestive heart failure and COPD and have diabetes type2. Recently I developed extreme back pains because of kidney stones. My doctors also discovered that I have a Gr.2 enlarged prostate.. After hearing from some of my friends the value of INCLINED BED THERAPY, I tried it and I was totally relieved of back pains, my blood sugar and prostate became normal, and have total restful nights of quality sleep free from any breathing difficulty. I find this technique discovered in 2006 so amazing and I want to share this blessing with everyone.

Age 90 Diabetes Helped Without Drugs Ulcer healed, neuropathy gone
I am a caregiver for a 90 year old man who HAD Diabetes. It went like this: The bed goes up, his sugar readings would go down. When he'd protest and we'd have to put the bed down, his sugar readings would go up. After a year and a half of up and down with the bed, he finally insisted on keeping the bed up/ inclined ... and so did his frustrated children. His sugar is normal. No meds. Happy Camper. ALL thanks to our hero, Andrew K Fletcher!!!
He and his family refused to listen to the data on IBT. Eventually they were convinced. He had a terrible Diabetic ulcer on his back side that healed quickly and nicely, as did his diabetic neuropathy. And his M.D., took him off his metformin, as well as all his other meds, as "he doesn't need them anymore."
In addition he followed a very strict NO OIL Vegan diet with lots of Freshly made green juice. Also drinks half his weight in ounces of water. daily.

#Emotion & #trauma
Hi All
I just wanted to say I have only been doing this for a few days and already I feel an emotional feeling I have carried for many many years is leaving me.I feel so much lighter as a person.I had dreams of a healer helping me release an energy,although its not complete the awareness was given to me
Truly amazing, I speculate it must be shifting my energy and relieving past trauma
Any thoughts greatly appreciated

#Emotions and #Trauma
I have just started with IBT this (3 nights) week, I have been sleeping heavily and unable to get out of bed. The other thing I have noticed is an emotional block/behaviour starting to lessen. I saw Greg's post about emotions and wanted to see has anyone noticed positive changes regarding past trauma's/fears?
The truth is simple!

IBT Definitely Works! #depression, #sciatica, #restlesslegssyndrome, (Restless legs syndrome, also known as #Willis-Ekbom disease, is a common condition of the nervous system that causes an overwhelming irresistible urge to move the legs.) #gerd #acidreflux
I'd just like to share my very positive experience with IBT so that others may benefit from it too. I was a bit sceptical at first, but thought I'd give it a try, raising the bed with books (!) just to see. I slept so much better, my restless leg syndrome and the sciatica in my left leg which used to wake me up several times in the night just seemed to disappear, and I woke up happy and refreshed. I was hooked. To cut a long story short, I had a couple of bed raisers made by a local carpenter (you can't buy them here in Egypt) with a groove to fit the bed legs into. Perhaps the best outcome of all - and I don't know if anyone else has experienced the same thing - is that I seem to be in a constant good mood whereas I used to suffer from occasional bouts of severe depression. I don't know whether it's just sleeping better, or whether it's the IBT itself, perhaps Andrew could give us an answer on that one, but whichever it is, I'm truly grateful.
Interestingly, when I told my sister about it (expecting her to scoff at the idea), it turned out that her family doctor had advised her to use IBT years ago for her husband's acid reflux and it worked wonders. I'd never noticed her bed was raised!
I have been sleeping inclined for a few weeks now, and its been amazing. Most of my "fatty" thigh lumps have disappeared (many after just one week on the inclined bed), my sleep became deeply restorative, my silent GERD vanished. I do not cough and clear my throat any more, I do not snore any more. I do not get up to go to the bathroom twice a night any more. I am not foggy headed in the am from poor sleep, breathing, digestion etc. I could swear my skin tone has improved.
The nature of my urine has definitely changed as well. I collect my am urine to compost (we have a drought, and I read in a book written pre WWII that urine makes great nitrogenous composting material). Well it used to be much more dilute before. In the last two weeks, minerals have precipitated out and stuck to the sides and bottom. So you are correct. In this position, you do secrete more concentrated urine, with a lot more mineral density. I wish we could do more detailed research on this.
My 75 year old friends' varicose veins have greatly improved. She is sleeping better. I am measuring her leg edema as well, and will keep you posted on the changes. I am attaching a picture of my mightily smoothened thigh as well. As a reference, it used to look like a moon crater previously. Wish I had taken a before picture as well, so you could've seen the big bumps. But I did not know this was going to occur, else I would have.
Bless you, for what you are doing.
Cheers,

Better Sleep, Better Bladder Control
I've inclined my bed by 6 inches (150mm) and can't believe what a difference its made to my sleeping. I used to awake a minimum of 3 times a night to visit the loo, but no more. Until I started this 5 days ago I couldn't remember the last time I slept for more than 2 hours, but now I sleep for 6 hours straight! Thank you!

No more waking up to pee (nocturia)
A healthy 70 year old friend of mine began inclined bed therapy around July of 2015.
Prior to raising his bed he was waking up every 2 hours during the night to pee.
Within the first two weeks of raising his bed he noted that he either slept straight through the night or woke up to pee one time.
Today is September 18, 2015 and he still has great bladder control during sleep thanks to the inclined bed
Thank you Andrew Fletcher.

#Prolapse and Bladder leaks, #incontinence
Dear Andrew,, We read about Inclined Bed Therapy in an article, we tried it right away with 15 centimeters (6 inches) under our head. That was 7 days ago.
After 3 nights sleep my wife had urine leaks the 4th day while walking downhill and again on the 7th day walking on the flat. She has slight pain in the lower abdomen region.
She’s 58 years old, 32 years ago, at the birth of her last daughter she had a prolapse, she had recovery therapy and has been fine since.
Could this be a natural re-adaptation phenomena and should we persist and continue or
Should we put the head at 8 centimeters (4 inches) and work up progressively.
Yesterday we put the bed on a 8 cm incline to try, today again my wife had urine leaks while walking.
We are a concerned and would like to have an idea, Have you ever heard about this kind of thing? What do you suggest?
Thank you

ANDREW'S RESPONSE
My son's partners mum had a prolapse which she was told required corrective surgery. The good news is, it went back all by itself and has never presented a problem since. It takes quite a while for muscles to tone back up, which in turn hold the bladder in it's correct position.
It may be beneficial as you say, to raise the bed by 8cm and increase once the problem has subsided. What may be happening, and I suspect this is the case, is that oedema is being drawn back into the circulation and this is causing increased urination. If this is the case than it should resolve once oedema has been eliminated. Oedema can be stored all around the body and can be moved to the ankles initially while the pressure changes in the veins catch up with it. Hope this makes sense. kind regards Andrew
