EAST BAY INSOMNIAC

The guy on the cover of the StressEraser^TM owner’s manual greets me with a smile that says he’s become impenetrable to harsh fluorescent lights and restrictive button-down collars. Looking like a stock art version of George Clooney, he cocks his head and readies his finger for a session with the StressEraser^TM. “Hey, I’ve put my finger in worse places,” he thinks, and then chuckles out loud with the stress-free ease his stock art colleagues have come to know and envy.

I’d been kicking around the idea of purchasing one of Helicor’s award-winning biofeedback devices, the StressEraser^TM, for several months, but I couldn’t quite wrap my mind around the $299 pricetag. Ultimately, it was the 30-day money back guarantee that swayed me.

The website advertised: Feel Good Again in 30 Days…Guaranteed.

And Helicor’s many affiliates concurred: 

• With the StressEraser^TM you can rapidly calm your mind and relax your body.
• Handheld medical device calms the mind and relaxes the body anytime, anywhere.
• The Stress Eraser Is An Amazing Mini Bio-Feedback Machine.

I thought: if it’s crap, I’ll send it back. If it’s worth it, it will pay for itself.
