If I could give a 0 I would

If I could give a 0 I would. DONT TRUST THIS COMPANY***** The customer service is terrible and not helpful. I had a payment issue… The website seems a bit glitchy and I was charged twice on my card. I am a very honest person and showed all the necessary information from my bank account being charged twice. I called and emailed 20 times… still no refund.

It's working 💪

It's working 💪 I'm 58 years old my son inlaw brought this "patch" home. He said he was praying for an answer because he was trying different things that weren't working. Well within a month his skin was clear of psoriasis and headaches were gone. I love this company and the wellness it helps create. Thanks Lifewave!!!!

I started with lifewave as a customer using the products for a month now and my body has responded in a way I never expected. After opening the package I placed one x39 patch on the back of my neck. I had a slight tension headache all day. After driving for about 15 mins my headache evaporated. I hadn’t thought that was something the patch did !! Complete surprise. I patched my mother-in-law and she experienced the same thing. I used it regularly for a month and my skin condition (psoriasis) cleared up completely. This is amazing. I was a skeptic now I believe. Thank you lifewave!!

I have been using x39 for almost 6…

I have been using x39 for almost 6 months. My eyesight is improved 20 points in each eye. My cataracts are no longer there. When I say that I mean they're gone, I do not need an operation to remove them. The nerve between my right eye and my brain is repairing itself. My blood pressure is perfect for the first time in 15 years. I am no longer pre-diabetic. I have tons of energy and I swear by these patches. Any fool that says that these are a placebo effect are working for the other side. Their names probably Karen.

Ridiculous price for "placebo effect"…

Ridiculous price for "placebo effect" medicine. If you believe it will work, especially for the price, your likely to find improvement. Much like the early placebo effect research on anti-anxiety medication, "meditation proved to be at least as effective as the actual drug, and people unknowingly taking "sugar pills, who felt their pill was "effective." " Moreover, the glue on the sticker is like epoxy, often making removal painful. In my opinion, X39 is just another Ponzi scheme taking advantage of people in pain.

Disgusting pyramid scheme

Disgusting pyramid scheme
Disgusting price point
If these people state they are working with energy to heal the body, but don't account for the negative energy they develop by charging absurd amounts of money to "help" people with problems, for something that cost close to nothing...they are evil

I used SP6 LIFEWAVE PATCHES FOR OVER A YEAR IN BELIEF OF ITS TECHNOLOGY; I personally think in theory yes but in practice it does not work. I did an analysis in acupuncture point ingredients in patch- do your research and bypass mainstream-addictive and your energy level after x amount of hours puts you to sleep; also glycemic index peaks and gives a time of day that you have sugar cravings and ravenous hunger. I had to wean for normalcy many months before I could feel myself again. My hunger is minimal, sleep back to 8 hours-It DEFINITELY HAS SOMETHING FOR SO THEY SAY THE ACUPUNCTURE TO WORK AND CHEMICALS IN PATCH GO IN----I HAVE A PKG NOT USED BECAUSE I FIGURED IT OUT.

LifeWave is the real deal

LifeWave is the real deal, I’m just on x39 patch, more energy, stamina is much better, I going to be trying thawing next for inflamation although the X39 seems to be helping! 1 great thing is that these are not transdermal meaning no medicine transmuted, cuz there’s no medicine in the patch.

Not helpful, got worse, no refund

Was given samples to get started if I went to a meeting. It was a presentation of pictures as proof that it works, ending with bunch of distributors giving testimonials. That’s enough for a placebo effect. I asked my friend that invited me if there were gold standard clinical studies, and she said yes, so I ordered a month of x39 and Aeon being told that there was a 30 day money back guarantee. I went home and searched for third party gold standard clinical studies (double blind, placebo controlled), and there were and still are none. There is no PubMed score. The inventor has no background in stem cell science either. I tried to return, but found out too that since they were open and some used, no refund. I was looking for more energy/combat feeling tired as my main objective. I have a consistent routine, eat nutritionally dense diet and have a healthy lifestyle, so I would be able to observe a difference, and I was using both where they suggested. I didn’t feel any difference week after week, in fact when I started I was healing from shingles and it actually flared up and became worse and more painful than I had ever felt before. I stopped! What a waste of money. Look for 3rd party institutions doing studies on it that document results. If it’s been around for 20 years, there would be some if it works on stems cells. Testimonials aren’t science.

4 Stars - absolute brilliant invention!

4 Stars for one of the greatest money making schemes ever! I was amazed as I saw my friend taking delivery of her patches at R100 each. I looked inside the R20 gold coloured envelope, and saw the R0.50 cent "patch" inside. It is just incredible that otherwise seemingly sensible people are buying these. If anything they said was true, which it is not, a piece of tinfoil would work much better.

Happy Patcher

I’ve been using X39 for six weeks now and it’s totally changed my life!!
I don’t understand the science and I don’t really care at this point, but it Works!
I’m 61old and am very active but the last two years Ive been hit with a lot of physical health issues, and I have started to feel extremely hopeless, and thats a tough spot to be mentally believing that I could live another 20 years of suffering!!
Well I think you get and it works, I’ll put on my patch and start living an unbelievable rest of my life!!

Cynic no more-

I am a student of science, and a skeptic of things such as this. My wife believes in this kind of stuff, so I tried it to keep her happy. During the second week I noticed a perceptible change on my theretofore low motivation/energy level. Its been just over 2 months and I truly have the energy level I had 20 years ago. To me this could be because of other health improvements that have been concurrent.
BUT, I have a herniated disc that has caused intermittent back pain since March of 2009, and my wife suggested I also try the Icewave patches for pain. So I had nothing to lose by trying, and agreed. Within seconds, perhaps 15 or 20, my pain was gone and stayed gone until the next day. So I asked her to change the patches to new ones, and again, pain gone. These patches, I understand, are not a cure, (although the X39 may eventually lead to curing things), but I am convinced, at least for the time being, that the sciece they claim is behind these patches is real.
As someone who understands and believes in the concept of mind over matter, and having gone into this endeavor truly skeptical, I am satisfied my money so far has been well spent.

I've been using these patches for 5…

I've been using these patches for 5 weeks and they have changed my life! I had agonizing hip pain for 2 years, I've had pt and injections that did not help! After 2 weeks on X39 I realized I had zero pain. I'm sleeping great and have not needed my daily nap once. I will wear these patches for the rest of my life if I need to.

Finally fed up with LifeWave

I've been using the products for a year. The company is disappointing. David Schmidt must be pulling his hair out reliant on a multi-level marketing engine - particularly if he doesn't mind the number of people thrown under the bus. Why? Because the real engine is money and finding people who put money first - which isn't so hard, but the integrity of the organization fails.. unless money is the bottom line.

I like the X39 and X49 but it ultimately fails the test because it is about $225 dollars a month - unless you enlist lots and lots of your friends who also happen to be motivated by money and don't pay attention to the details of the company.

Then of course, as a LifeWave distributor, you are encouraged to use lots of the different patches - sometimes 5 or six. But try running a meeting wearing half a dozen patches! Just utter confusion about what does what unless the money goal is the overall highlight of the meeting.

When "friends" first introduced me to LifeWave a year ago, they told me if I got a few friends, I could get the patches for free. The only problem is they were promoting a program (Share Program) they didn't understand. Why didn't they understand it? Because money is what drives LifeWave products not products.

I eventually dug into the LifeWave Share Program to discover that if you had three regular purchase customers, you could get $100 credit which seemed fine though LifeWave Support wasn't able to explain the program very well, or maybe at all. This was the end of 2023.

Long story short, I used the X39 and X49 patches, which is also known as a Performance Bundle and carried a reduced combo price of $179 vs $199. But I can't use the Share credits with the Performance Bundle because they repeatedly claim the Performance Bundle is a "discounted" product, even though the $179 price has been the same for the entire year I have been around the product.

My problem is the Share Program is a great way to introduce people to using the products by enlisting friends (three friends per $100 credit) but they won't allow us to use the credits against the Performance Bundle, which I might add, is the first product listed in the product list - so it must have some important relevance.

The problem is the Share Program is good but can't be used with the Performance Bundle which means if you want to teach people how to use the Share Program - how to get free product, and create leads for your upline to convert to distributors, you have to explain the extra complexity of the Share Program - namely, the Share Program credits can't be used with the Performance Bundle which is so prominently displayed in the product area! (You have to instead disassemble the Performance Bundle and pay almost $25 more for the same product.)

I've talked to way high up distributors (25% of the overall organization) and they don't really care, i.e., don't upset the money train, I've written Jeff Hildebrandt Global Vice President of Marketing about the poor harnessing of the Share Program - no response whatsoever. It now seems the company is off chasing its next pot of gold, a skin cream with the fabled copper peptide GHK-Cu.

So half-baked marketing plans that don't make enough sense are left behind for us to almost use while the company moves ahead.

Me? I am going to look for a different way to deliver the copper peptide GHK-Cu to my system.

PS Network marketing/ multi-level marketing is only credible to the few who actually make money. The rest hobble along near the bottom, pester their friends and pay too much for products that otherwise would be much cheaper.

Stem Cell Reactivation to the Younger You

First of all I came across these when researching remedies for my brothers Parkinsons he was diagnosed with 6 years ago and is getting quite bad now. I decided to try them out first and started wearing the x39 and Aeon each day for 12 hours. I had already done a detox to flush out toxins etc beforehand. By day 29 my torn rotator cuff of 5 years had disappeared and I now have no pain and 100% movement back. A stud hole in my left ankle from football that was approx 0.5-1cm deep fully healed within 5 weeks and I am aged 62? A friend of mine who runs his own physio clinic said 3-4 months for younger players but up to double that for my age group. Lots more stamina and clarity from my brain fog. My brother is now sleeping 5-6 hours at a time after 6 weeks on the x39 and Aeon and more clarity and energy, so they definitely work. You can't carry on with an unhealthy lifestyle and expect the patches to be a do all miracle worker. You need to eat healthy, get mobile (even walking) and drink 6-8 glasses of clean water daily to stay hydrated. They also explain that to see full benefits and optimise your stem cell regeneration, you need to wear the patch for a month for every decade of your life. So for a 60 year old that means 6 months. If you only try them for a few weeks or a month, then dont expect much in the way of results. Some people get benefits within a few days but they are the minority. Do your research on Stem Cells and what they are for and how they actually work. Then read up on GHK-Cu copper peptide and read the clinical studies on this. Once you understand how stem cells work and how we stop producing our own as we get older and then how the patches stimulate our bodies to start and reproducing them, it should all make sense. But you have to follow the guidelines and give them a sufficient amount of time. They really do work and are much safer and cheaper than stem cell injections which is banned in lots of countries for good reason.

I have been using these patches for 130…

I have been using these patches for 130 days! It has been the worst 130 days of my life. I am not sure what happened but my skin, eyes, mood, energy...everything changed for the worst. The lady who sold me it said it was detox, what nonsense....you dont detox for 130 days. I am a nutritional therapist, eat super clean and green, exercise and is in perfect weight. I tried the patches because I fell, hurt my back and never really recovered of the pain. Needless to say, pain is stil there, no improvement. But my body didnt like me wearing these. I can't say I didn't try. No success. I won't advice my clients to use these patches.
