An independent health journalist interviews Bunny Moses about her experience of iolife treatment.
One year after spending six weeks in hospital following major surgery, Mrs Bunny Moses says she is once again “running around like a young girl.” Bunny is 90 years old.
For three months, she has been treated every week by therapist Gudrun Jonsson on an Iolife machine which has helped to reduce swelling in her legs – but more importantly restored her energy.
After weeks in bed following abdominal surgery to remove a blockage in her colon in December 2006, Bunny had first to learn to walk again unaided and then to climb stairs.
“Naturally I was weak but even after time, I still had no energy,” says the arts lover who until her illness was an active traveller and theatre goer.
Gudrun, a trained biopath and therapist with 22 years experience, suggested Iolife treatment sessions after being impressed with the results on other patients at her London practice.
“It has made a huge difference to me,” says Bunny, who enjoys the comfort of lying in a treatment chair with the Iolife machine directed first on to the soles of her bare feet and then on to her stomach.
“I can feel the warmth travelling up from my feet and glowing inside,” she says. “It has reduced the swelling in my legs. I had a deep wound which took ten months to heal completely but after the machine was directed on to my stomach, it helped to speed up that process.”
When Bunny had a bout of bronchitis, almost a year after her surgery, she believes Iolife helped her to breathe more easily.
“Best of all, it has given me lots more energy again. My friends now call me ‘Jack in the Box’!”
