Support for the Value of the Stress Control Biofeedback Card:
“Your biofeedback work was brought to our attention by a health care
professional, Joan Berman, a psychotherapist from Los Angeles.
She utilized your Stress Control Cards as a major part of her
presentation at our conference. My colleagues and I were extremely
excited about using the cards and the results therefrom. It
was of enormous interest to all who participated in the conference
to see that after the original test which was followed by the
simple exercises that you recommend on the card, at least 75%
of those tested showed a decrease in tension within a matter
of minutes. Many of our Rabbis expressed a desire to bring
this to the attention of their congregational groups. I for
one was excited about having the opportunity of bringing your
work to the attention of my colleagues.”
Rabbi E.M. Tenenbaum, Conf. Chair., The Rabbinical Assembly,
Western States Region
“I’m excited to share with you the results of the use of your
Stress Control Biofeedback Card in my training programs for
Navy Personnel. The card is a key tool in all the programs
because participants learn immediately that they CAN control
stress and emotional upset - a key learning in all my programs.
Listed below are the [17] Navy organizations for which I have
conducted in-house programs. In addition, participants from
more than 50 other Navy Organizations have attended programs
sponsored by the Naval Civilian Personnel Command. The card
is making the Navy civilian community more productive and motivated.
Keep the cards coming!...”

“I with to take this opportunity to express my complete satisfaction
with your stress management card. It has been an integral part
of our employee stress program. I utilized it in Alliance,
Nebraska, when I was Police Chief there and am in the process
of incorporating it into a departmental wide wellness program
here in Burleson. What I especially like about your card in
comparison to others I’ve seen is the relaxation information
located on the back. A person needs nothing more than your
card to effectively manage their stress throughout the day.
Stress can be easily measured on one side and relaxation exercises
can be immediately referred to on the reverse side. Once again
I want to emphasize the success I’ve had utilizing your card.
If I can be of any other assistance, do not hesitate to contact me.”
Keith M. Rippy, Chief of Police, Burleson, TX
“I find the biofeedback card to be the most cost effective and
durable device for providing knowledge of temperature self-regulating
capacities. It is an invaluable asset for achieving the relaxation
response and positively reinforcing it; motivating practice
in physiological self-regulation; controlling symptoms of psychophysiological
disorders; and controlling pain. A very important feature of
the card is that an individual does not have to feel embarrassed
or self-conscious when using the card since the person may practice
inconspicuously anywhere.”
Charles F. Kaiser, Ph.D. President, Biofeedback Society of
South Carolina
“Please accept my appreciation for developing a practical and
simple to use method of determining and controlling stress [The
Stress Test Handbook & Biofeedback card] I have read many
books on the subject and attended many seminars conducted by
experts in the field. Your booklet covers the entire field
of stress education and also provides easy and effective ways
to reduce stress. All of this in only 14 pages! The Biofeedback
Card is amazingly accurate. I use it in my work as an industrial
nurse to demonstrate to my patients that their stress level
can be lowered by practicing these techniques. They are impressed
at how much better they feel when they are in the blue. The
card is as accurate as some of the Biofeedback machines I have
used which cost several hundred dollars. The company where
I work is purchasing a card and book for each employee. Thank
you for caring enough to devote the time and effort you did
to develop this most useful tool”.
Norma Christensen, R.N., Lipton Tea Co. Wellness Program
“I want to let you know how very useful I have found your hand-held,
credit card size, biofeedback device. In addition to the self-programmed
control techniques from your book, I have been using this card
to retrain people suffering from stress-prolonged psycho-physiological
illnesses. In addition to excellent results with those with
high blood pressure, ulcers, colitis and agoraphobia...I’m finding
equally rewarding responses in the psychological treatment of
cancer patients, especially those wanting to use the Simonton
method of imagery. It is truly exciting to see the rapidity
and convenience with which this little card teaches the users
to monitor themselves and initiate stress-reduction techniques
without expensive and time-consuming trips to their doctors
or biofeedback laboratory. Thank you for developing such a
useful addition to the therapist’s treatment armanentarium,
and one so useful in so many modalities”.
Ruth McKinley, Ph.D.; Capper Psychiatric Medical Group; Camarillo,
