The Energetic Fitness System is a unique energy medicine technology that infuses energy into the human body via a high static electrical field. The origins of the technology are attributed to the scientific work of Nikola Tesla in the late 1800's. Tesla, an inventor and visionary genius in the field of electricity pioneered the science that forms the basis of alternating current (AC) electric power systems, X-rays, and wireless energy transmissions. Tesla believed that it was possible to use electricity to provide energy for the human body to function optimally. He wrote the following about a particularly stressful time in his life:
"I was so blue and discouraged in those days that I do not believe I could have borne up but for the regular treatments of electricity that I applied to myself. It puts into the entire body what it needs most - Life Force."
Because of Tesla's eccentric personality and unbelievable claims about many possible scientific developments, he was regarded as a "mad scientist" and never received a patent on his energy medicine technology. Replicas of his original machine and theories about its use survived quietly over the past 100 years. Justin Brost stumbled upon a person who had a crude version of this technology, which resulted in the relief of severe neck pain he suffered from after one session. His curiosity was piqued, Brost spent the past eleven years developing a product that incorporates modern materials and components and with the help of other researchers designed a new technology that provides maximum benefits. EFS has an impressive list of scientific advisers including James Oschman, Ph.D. the famous authority on energy medicine and author of "Energy Medicine: the scientific basis", and "Energy Medicine: in therapeutics and human performance". Brost is careful to make no medical claims on the Energetic Fitness System saying only that the technology gives the body the energy to heal itself. However he has witnessed remarkable improvements in those using EFS with many health conditions including muscular skeletal injuries, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, spinal cord injuries, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia as well as optimal performance for athletes.
The EFS user sits in a non-metal chair with bare feet on an energized glass plate while holding a 5-inch diameter energized glass bulb called the Plasma Containment System (PCS) in the hands while high voltage with no current at a broad spectrum of random wavelengths is maintained between the hands and the feet. The user feels a static vibration in the hands that gradually moves further up into the wrists and arms. The PCS creates an orange/pink glow and emits an ozone odor. The intensity of the energy can be regulated by how much contact there is in the feet on the glass plate. Over time and the user "equalizes" with the energy to a comfortable level. The energy field creates analog harmonic frequency patterns that are rapidly changing and different for each person. This is in contrast to other energy technologies where the frequencies are digital and predetermined by a computer program. The theory is that that the individual using EFS "tunes" to the energetic field and gets the frequencies he or she needs to heal and balance their body.
In May 2011 I traveled to Bellingham, Washington to meet Justin Brost and try out the Energetic Fitness System technology. Justin and his wife Shannon operate their business out a of small light industrial space where they do the final assembly of EFS units and ship them to customers. It is clear that the Brosts are passionate about this technology and dedicated to making it available to the public. At this point they have sold around 250 units mostly to individuals. Their goal however is to have EFS units in doctors' offices, sports centers, spas massage and physical therapy clinics. Since the units do not require any complicated programming and are easy to operate these "charging" sessions would be affordable to the everyday client.
Given my highly reactive and sensitive nature I was afraid I might have a bad response to the EFS but fortunately that was not the case. Initially I had an positive emotional response to the energy that felt like a release. My first session lasted around 50 minutes. Afterwards I felt tired but relaxed and I slept well that night - a good sign for me. Encouraged by this response I commuted to Bellingham twice a week for the next month to pursue this therapy. Over that time I noticed a gradual increase in my energy, resolution of low back pain, and resolution of chronic sore feet and buttocks. I did not however experience any improvement in my muscle condition which is triggered by exercise and exertion. At the end of the month I purchased my own EFS unit to use at home. I was optimistic that by doing the EFS at home on a daily basis I might experience further improvements. I did 25 minute sessions daily for five days. This is the recommended amount that corresponds to the Chinese medical perspective that the human energy system cycles at 20-25 minute intervals. Feeling quite good I challenged my muscle condition by gardening two days in a row for an hour and a half each day. The third day my muscles were very painful and I "flared" into a fibromyalgia episode. I was hopeful that the EFS would help me recover more quickly from this flare so I increased my sessions to 50 minutes two days in a row. On the second day I had a severe agitation of my nervous system. I consulted with Justin who recommended that I take off one day and return to 25 minute daily sessions. I took off two days and then tried another session but had a bad reaction to that as well. It was obvious to me that I had overdone the therapy and I needed to take a break. After two weeks I was able to tolerate another EFS session but reacted again after four times of using the unit every other day so I decided to take a break from the therapy.
I definitely gained benefits from EFS that were cumulative and have stayed with me but EFS alone was not able to resolve my fibromyalgia muscle condition. My personal recovery involves two important components: increasing the energy in my body and decreasing the agitation in my central nervous system that I developed over the years of living with profound physical stress and exhaustion. The EFS was helpful for increasing my energy but after a period of time it agitated my nervous system. My recovery needs to be balanced with other therapies like LENS neurofeedback. After a break from EFS for several months while I did more LENS sessions, I have returned to EFS with no adverse reactions and am optimistic that this combination of therapies that will facilitate my complete recovery.
It is important to keep in mind that each person with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia as well as all other chronic illnesses has a unique presentation of these conditions with various complications and sets of symptoms. Although there are commonalities and overlapping issues, each person can only find through trial and error what works for them. I believe that recovery is possible but there is no "silver bullet" treatment that can cure these conditions just as there is no one cause for them. (For more on this read my post "What Causes CFS & FMS" http://fibrofriends.typepad.com/fibro_friends/2010/08/what-causes-chronic-fatigue-and-fibromyalgia-syndromes.html). I think that the Energetic Fitness System is an important therapeutic tool that may be helpful for many individuals with CFS and FSM. Caution needs to be exercised for highly sensitive individuals like myself who can "overdose" on the treatment but otherwise the modality is very safe.

Here I am using the EFS at home.
Notice the orange glow created by the PCS bulb which emits an ozone smell.

Per our notarized contract, Energetic Fitness was supposed to mail my product by 11-15-11 and email me the tracking info. They missed this deadline and did not even contact me. They have had my $7,445 since 10-20-11. Between 11-15-11 & 11-30-11, I have received numerous excuses, delays, lies, have been cursed at, threatened & insulted on several occasions. Ultimately they decided to cancel my order on 11-30-11 and said they won’t give me my money back until 30 days. This is unacceptable and needs to be addressed by the authorities and the public needs to know that Energetic Fitness Systems cannot be trusted & conducts their business is an unprofessional manner.

Energetic Fitness was supposed to mail my product by 11-15-11 and email me the tracking info. They missed this deadline and did not even contact me, so I emailed them below on Thursday, November 17, 2011 3:50 PM. See excuse #1 below within Email #1. Also note that Justin then states that my product will ship on Wed 11-23-11 (it did not).

Christopher (customer),
Power is back on, but probably only for a little while. We had a storm come
through earlier and have 65-70 mph winds tonight. Got the transformers
today, but could not mount with the epoxy due to temperatures with the power
outages. It has to be above 60 degrees to cure for 8-10 hours and if the
temp goes below that, the epoxy won't set, has to dug out and redone. What
a pain.
Anyway I hope to be able to do that work tomorrow and ship on Wed. Will let
you know. All parts are here though.

Hello Justin,
When do you expect my order to ship?

***************************************************************
In the email below, Email #2, you will see that Justin misses his own new extended deadline of Wed 11-23-11 & again, he did not have the common courtesy to contact me. I had to contact him to ask for another update/excuse. Now Justin makes another promise to ship my product on Monday 11-28-11 (but does not ship on that day either) See emails below:

Close but not quite. The unit was done, we called for pickup, hung around at
the shop till 6, they didn't bother to tell us their cutoff time was 2 hour
early yesterday. So yes, on Monday.
Happy Thanksgiving

Here’s another excuse from Justin!
Also note another promise from Justin to get back to me by Noon, and you guessed right, he did not get back to me by Noon… he finally got back to me at 9:28 PM Pacific Time (his time) I am on EST Time, hence the Email #6 time states 6:28PM.

Justin, Shannon nor anyone else with Energetic Fitness (I don’t think they even have any employees, just a husband & wife business that is inactive with the state of WA) ever got back with me and would not answer their phone until I finally reached Justin at 1 AM. He then proceeded to curse at me continually & tell me that he doesn’t like my spiritual business that I own & that he knows a lot of nasty people all around the US.
It is funny how he was selling me on his system by telling me that spiritual people have had very strong meditations while using the EFS-100 and the EFS-200.
***********************************************************
In conclusion, Energetic Fitness, Justin & Shannon Brost have had my $7,445 since 10-20-11 & have not even come close to abiding by our contractual agreement. Then they have the audacity to cancel my order on 11-30-11 and tell me that they will refund me within another 30 days…
I need my money back immediately, because as I trust you can see, Energetic Fitness, Justin Brost & Shannon Brost cannot be trusted. I should not have to wait 30 days and then have to go through the many excuses and delays again.

I would send something to the better business bureau. Cussing someone out and threatening customer is a sign of a much deeper problem. Maybe they should be investigated.

I am sorry to hear about Chris Chandler’s experience ordering an EFS unit. I agree that he should have received his order as promised however I do not think that Justin and Shannon Brost are dishonest. Before purchasing my EFS unit I tried out EFS at the shop in Bellingham, Washington and spent a lot of time discussing this technology with Justin Brost. I believe that the Brosts are motivated primarily by a desire to help others however I witnessed first hand production delays and inefficiencies in their operation. This is unfortunate because they produce an excellent product that has the potential to help many people. Hopefully with time the Brosts will improve the efficiency of their business. In the meantime its worth being patient.

What qualifies Justin to give advice in this field? Is this FDA approved? Where can someone get more information on this topic? The long list of lawsuits on each listing them as defendants along with an "unregistered" company(from poster above) and the Wash BBB rating is a consideration for those who are long distance and don't know the supplier. Posters here seem very educated and we all have big medical expenses to consider when investing in our health. If the product helps, the supplier reliability down the road is just as important as the ordering reliability. I prefer to go on facts rather than feelings in pricy matters.
Posted by: ken | January 15, 2012 at 09:31 AM
EFS makes no medical claims for its equipment. It is not FDA approved as a medical device. I would not buy this or any other technology until you have experience using it. The EFS-200 PRO is designed for use in clinics, gyms, massage therapists offices, etc. at a reasonable per session charge per client. My advice is to find someone in your area who has this technology to try it out.
Posted by: Darden Burns | January 15, 2012 at 03:12 PM
Is there a list somewhere of clinics? I'd prefer going to a clinic with experienced health care providers, especially for the first few tries....
