INFO
"Whatever euphemism you use -- puking, urping, barfing, power yawn -- motion sickness is a huge problem for aviation. It's a common reason for student pilots to quit, a major impediment to aerobatic training, and such a serious problem for passengers that many pilots can't coax spouses or children to fly with them. In this interview, AVweb's aeromedical expert Dr. Brent Blue talks about what causes motion sickness and discusses the various drug and non-drug remedies available, including a just-released electronic device that looks like it might be the best answer yet." - Dr. Brent Blue (read the whole article)
The phenomenal ReliefBand® offers the most effective and predictable relief available for the nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness of any remedy we've tested, and does it with none of the adverse side effects (drowsiness, pupil dilation, etc.) normally associated with anti-nausea drugs. This wristwatch-sized electronic device straps to the inside of the wrist and stimulates the median nerve, blocking the nervous impulses that produce nausea and vomiting. The ReliefBand has been tested extensively in both clinical and field trials, and is FDA cleared for relief of motion sickness.
Because it produces no side effects, the ReliefBand is fully FAA-legal for pilot use, and is ideal for student pilots and aerobatic pilots who need relief from motion sickness. This band is also perfect for pilots who have difficulty coaxing spouses and children to fly with them. The Relief Band is equally effective in preventing and treating seasickness, car sickness, morning sickness, nausea due to chemotherapy treatment, and any other situation that causes nausea or vomiting.
The ReliefBand Voyager features a water-resistant case and non-replaceable batteries. At medium setting (level 3) it will provide approximately 150 hours of relief!
"If you were going to test the ReliefBand on a boat, where would the most difficult water in the world be? I can tell you from personal experience that the Drake Passage from Argentina to Antarctica where two oceans meet is absolutely the worst. My 11 year old son and I used the Relief Bands with great success on our recent traverse of the Passage and had other passengers cursing me for not bringing any relief bands to sell on the boat. We had 30 foot seas one day and the Relief Band brought us through with flying colors. What’s more, we didn’t have the side effects (like dry mouth, sedation, and visual changes) to deal with."
"I have always used the ReliefBand in my airplane for passengers. This water crossing was the ultimate test for me. As a physician, I can tell you the Relief Band is the best thing ever for motion sickness (and pregnancy, chemotherapy, and other causes of nausea/vomiting). I don’t leave home with out it!" - Brent Blue MD
OTHER INFO and FEEDBACK
"I received my ReliefBand and I am beyond amazed and pleased with this
product. I get air sickness to the point of full blown vertigo that lasts
for weeks. I know this product is mainly for motion sickness and probably
they are all the same thing, but air travel is very tricky for me. I flew
for 11 hours on 2 separate occasions a week apart and I had absolutely no
problems! This product is simply amazing and I'm even more impressed that
it worked so effectively for air travel."
