VIBE Machine Recall: Vibrational Integrated Bio-Photonic Energizer
Published: November 3rd, 2008 • Comments: 14
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has posted information about a recall of the Vibe Technologies Vibrational Integrated Bio-photonic Energizer Machine Multi-Frequency Field Generator, which was not approved by the FDA. The agency indicates it was not made under current good manufacturing practices.
The device was marketed and sold between November 2002 and March 2008 with statements that it could be used to treat or cure cancer, depression, infection and general pain. However, the FDA has never determined that the VIBE machine is safe or effective, as no data has been provided by the manufacturer to support these claims.
The FDA categorized the VIBE recall as a “Class 1 Recall”, which is the most serious type, reserved for situations where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious injury or death.
In addition to issuing the VIBE machine recall, the FDA has urged consumers and health-care professionals to report any incidents of adverse reactions or quality problems that have been associated with the use of this product. Reports can be submitted on-line through the FDA MedWatch Reporting program.
Vibe Technologies, which is based in Colorado, is cooperating with the FDA’s recall. Certified letters will be sent to all consumers who purchased the Vibe Machine, advising them to immediately stop using the device.
The letter also includes a new warning label which clearly indicates that the VIBE machine is not a medical device and should not be used as one, an updated users guide that contains no medical claims and a certification to be signed by the owner confirming they received the notice and understand that the VIBE machine does not affect the structure or function of the human body.
Many of the VIBE machines have been sold to clinics or individuals who may still be promoting the machine as a medical device for treatment of cancer, depression, infection or pain.

So why is “Vibe Machine” a/k/a “The Quantum Pulse” NOT included in the FDA recall? This same machine “Vibe Machine” was conveniently renamed “The Quantum Pulse” as a response to the FDA investigation leading to this recall. The Vibe machine was determined and predicated by the FDA as an adulterated medical device. To deceive the public without required registering, obtaining Pre Market Approval, and a 510(k) is a mockery to the FDA authority of protecting the public. Could simply changing the name to avoid compliance be a model and license for other companies to endanger the lives of the public by doing the same? If other manufactures have to follow rules with an FDA in then so should Vibe Technologies. Profiting millions and millions of dollars would allow this company to comply. There are NO excuses for beating the system.

Once again, the FDA wasting my taxpaying money by committing fraud with their claims.
Here is what VIBE Technologies really claimed:
By sitting in front of the VIBE Machine for one to five minute sessions, one can energize the cells and begin to realign and balance the physical, emotional, and spiritual systems, returning them to their natural “state of Being”.
I do not have a doctorate in English but don’t see anything about curing medical conditions. It’s all pretty clear to me what the FDA has done for me–intensified the deplorable health conditions in this country through the foods and drugs they regulate.

I know this machine very well and it’s amazing. THE POWERS THAT BE ARE SO FUCKING WITH US. It is apparently not going to change. Money is the game, and not healing the public and empowering them is the FDA’s passion. This is a war on consciousness and quite frankly I am so sick of it. The FDA can go fuck themselves.

I have witnessed the vibe machine in helping many people with many problems. I have never seen anything even close to this in my life.
For myself it has given me a lot of energy. Enough energy to tell the FDA to go fuck themselves!!!!

VIBE machine is a a fraud. Designed to be used by pseudo healthcare providers with no education but a huge desire to take money and justify this theft by stating they are dealing with the the , “whole person”. Hogwash.
Before you or yours sits in front of this scam machine, check the credentials, education, of those selling you what you can’t see research on. This is quackery at it’s finest.

I have witnessed the Vibe Machine in action on numerous people with numerous different health problems. I myself used it for over 3 months, 3 -5 days a week for constant headache from a whiplash injury and bulging discs. Unfortunately it didn’t stop the headaches, but gave me a good 6 hours of energy after each use to help combat the fatique I was feeling from the constant headaches. It helps with quality of life and is very popular in Colorado, where it was invented. the FDA is a farse, not the VIBE Machine!
Comment by THE FDA JUST WANTS A CUT OF THE MONEY on 6 October 2009:
The FDA is the most dishonest organization in the world. You know why they want to shut down the use of this AMAZING machine? you guessed it, because they aren’t making a dime from it. Yeah you guessed it, the FDA could CARE LESS about the health of ANY individual. They care about making money and THAT’S IT!! My very good friend was diagnosed with TERMINALcancer years ago, he started using the machine and wah lah, after about two months, there was no sign of cancer in his body, it doesn’t take rocket science to figure out that this machine is amazing. A year and a half ago, my ex, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and because of the BIG FUSS the FDA was making about the VIBE machine at the time, my Joey couldn’t find a location to have even a session, in NY and passed away without ever getting the chance to use it, and possibly be CURED. So FDA, I pose this question to you, what if your son, or daughter, sister, mom, dad, brother, wife, husband, was diagnosed with an illness and was given one month and this was the only way to save them? would you still be so quick to recall the machine, stating that it didn’t follow guidelines? or would money still be ALL that you cared about. Think about it!! There are people dying at the cost of your greediness. People see what you’re doing and it’s just making the FDA look bad, what harm has this machine ever done anyone?? NONE AT ALL so give up the ACT and allow people to get treatment!!!!!!!

fuck the fda and their bullshit ways. this machine works and i am tired of their ways. they have never done their job, and their stamp of approval doesn’t mean crap. they approve shit that never should be in our foods and drugs. this machine definitely works.
wow… i just read some of the other comments. I’m so so happy i’m not the only one that is backing the quantum pulse. yah! i feel better.

I know someone who used to own a VIBE machine and I stood in front of it on more than one occasion and it did not kill me and did not harm me in any way. This friend had cancer and was able to return to work and get back into life after purchasing the machine. If the VIBE did not work and did not have a following the FDA would not be trying to discourage it’s use. It is obvious to me what is going on in this supposedly free country.
Comment by Brenda on 29 January 2010:
I have yet to find a location in Colorado that offers the Vibe therapy. I do agree that the FDA would rather keep people unhealthy, they are greedy and dishonest. Our bodies are flowing with energy. So why not treat with energy? FDA would rather treat health issues with man made chemicals. I can not wrap my head around how fucked our world has become.

My dad bought a machine years ago, and I have used it many times. He has copd which is a degenerative disease. His breathing and lung function has gone up, and has given him years on to his life. I think that this recall has scared people who gave sessions into not using it. To bad gmo’s are not looked into as much as the fda has looked into this.
I have been to a convention with other owners and found no ill will to anyone with cancer or any other disease. As in a time when the FDA was paid by tobaco companies they now are sponsored by big medicine. I may be wrong at this analogy but its like saying that a MRI doesn’t work even tho they see a picture of the body right in front of them.

Most governments and multimillion/billion businesses are in a maze of corruption,and that is always destined to implode. No matter how much effort is placed in preventing it, it is a natural, automatic process. Just explore history and you’ll see. However, good people are working on solutions as always supporting the masses. Check out heartmath.com and see it for yourself. It is free and you’ll learn a lot to manage yourself so you do not develop illness. It is the best way to stop corruption in health care.

I personally used the VIBE as a 40 year old with a TriMalleolar Fracture of my left ankle and tibia. The ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON’s comment upon review of my Xray at 4 weeks was, “wow, what is going on? you are healing like a healthy teenager” We won’t be needing that surgery. I can’t believe those bones fused like that this quickly. I was out of a cast that I was promised would be 9 weeks in 6 weeks. This leg is stronger than it ever was 4 years later-no arthritis or anything. The FDA is wrong about this and many other “approved” things that are so harmful.

I am a medical doctor. I very reluctantly decided to try this 1 month ago and return it for a laugh.
But strange things started to happened. First time I got a headache. After 1 week 25% increase in energy was noted. I thought its placebo effect. But no, there is more in it than what I just “felt”. My sleep is improved, now I feel rested when I wake up. Sex drive also has increased. Moderate decrease in depressive symptoms as well has been noted without any medicine!
This is very strange. I am not returning it nor recommending it to anybody yet till I do my further studies and tests on it.
1- I want to check it for any xray radiation by a more reliable Giger counter, my current hand held one reads high but that even reads a flash light as high so that test was not reliable
2- I already checked it with my RF meter and a small oscilloscope, it produced electromagnetic waves at about 100 KHz. Looks like it produces a range of different waves at the same time beyond my device range
3-I am going to test its effect on a dish of paramecium and plants under microscope
I will see, I feel it may affect different people differently and everybody is touching different part of the elephant.
So far I have been extremely satisfied and am thankful .
