@Coz McJurnee To put it simply: The Skool post is discussing LIPUS (Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound) and LIFU (Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound). The US Pro 2000 is TUS (Traditional/Therapeutic Ultrasound). Here is exactly why the US Pro 2000 does not fall in line with the breakthrough tech mentioned in that article: 1. The "Vehicle" Analogy Saying a medical device uses "ultrasound" is like saying a machine is a "vehicle." A bulldozer and a Formula 1 car are both vehicles, but they are built for entirely different jobs. • The US Pro 2000 (TUS): This is the bulldozer. It is a powerful, blunt-force tool designed to flood a large, dense area (like a thick muscle or stiff joint) with acoustic energy to create physical friction, thermal heat, and massive blood flow. • LIPUS / LIFU: These are the precision vehicles. They are highly specialized, microscopic signaling tools designed to gently "tickle" neurons or bone cells to change how they act, without creating any heat or friction. 2. The Shape of the Sound Wave (Focus) The "F" in LIFU stands for Focused. • LIFU devices use specialized lenses to converge the sound waves into a tiny, microscopic point deep inside the body—exactly like using a magnifying glass to focus sunlight. This allows researchers to target a specific millimeter of a nerve (like the vagus nerve) without affecting anything else around it. • The US Pro 2000 has a collimated (unfocused) beam. The sound wave shoots straight out of the metal head like a wide flashlight beam, spreading energy over a 4 cm² area. You cannot target a single nerve with it; the wave hits the nerve, the surrounding blood vessels, the muscle, and the bone all at once. 3. The Power Gap (Intensity) The post specifically highlights the critical nature of Low-Intensity. • LIPUS/LIFU: The devices in those clinical trials typically operate at an intensity of around 0.03 W/cm² (30 milliwatts). • US Pro 2000: Your device is built for heavy-duty musculoskeletal work and can push up to 1.6 W/cm² on high. Even if you run the device on its absolute lowest setting (which drops the effective intensity to around 0.08 W/cm² by pulsing the wave), its overall acoustic profile and wide beam are still fundamentally built to vibrate thick tissue, not to perform delicate neuromodulation.

@Sterling Cooley These are def in rotation. Also big fan of Reta, KPV, and GHK-Cu. 💪
