look at this: boom, boom, boom, boom, done! >> whoa! [both laugh] >> done! >> all right, that was great, but we still got wet messes. we're gonna have to get a bucket and a mop. let's go. >> no, no, no, forget the bucket and the mop. forget the rags. come on, let's get down close. i want you to see what the h2o vac can do. watch this. dry or wet... >> whoa, that's cool. >> ...the h2o vac will take care of it. metal particles, glass, it doesn't matter. liquid, dry... even nuts and bolts. >> wow... >> look at this, mimi. there you go: no tearing, no clogging, no problem. >> wow, that was so cool, joe! >> you think that's cool? >> yeah. >> wait till you see this. this is 40 pounds of dirt and dust, and you know what? believe it or not, this represents the average amount of dirt in the average family's home over the course of a year! 40 pounds! >> wow... >> we're talking dirt, dust, with chemicals and allergens and dust mites and, yuck, all kinds of nasty stuff. >> who wants their family living in or breathing in that kind of filth? >> nobody does, of course, but you know what? here's the problem: the average vacuum,

it's got bags and filters and dust cups-- it can't get to all of this, so eventually the average vacuum is gonna clog up, and you know what happens then? they lose their suction! but the h2o vac is different. it's very, very different. in fact, it uses advanced water filtration technology, not a dirty vacuum bag or a dust cup. the h2o vac actually uses good old everyday tap water to trap all the dust, trap all the allergens inside your home. >> well, that is different. i've never heard of a vacuum using water before. um, why use water? >> very good question, and i have the answer. can i show you something here? >> well, yeah, sure. >> here is a glass, right? now i'm gonna take a little tablespoon of this dust and this dirt... now watch. o.k., it's already kicking up. you see that? >> yeah. >> yeah, o.k., there you go. i'm gonna give you the honors. take that straw and ever so slightly blow on that dust. >> oh, wow! >> [laughs] >> thanks! yuck! >> you know what that represents? it shows what happens to most common vacuum cleaners when they get clogged or filled up. see, when the dirt and the dust

have nowhere else to go, what happens? all those nasty allergens, dirt, dust and filth can escape and spew back out into your home. all right, let's talk about the water filtration technology. here's a glass, another tablespoon of dirt, gonna put it down... watch... stir it into the water. remember, the water in the water filtration system allows you to... [water bubbling...] look at that! it's going nowhere. >> the dust is trapped because wet dust can't fly. >> wet dust can't fly. you got it! [both laugh] and it's all trapped in the aqua chamber which has a grip-tight seal so nothing leaks or spills until you want to empty it. simply pour out the dirty water and throw out any remaining large particles into the trash. the h2o vac also features a special certified hepa filter that trs .97% of all the allergens and dust that the other vacuums can blow back into your air. now combine the water filtration technology with the special certified hepa filter and you've

got like the one-two punch on the h2o vac. >> air pollution indoors is actually a lot worse than outdoor air pollution. indoor air pollution can cause a lot of health problems. as a doctor, i would recommend the h2o vac to people because so many of the health problems i see every day are caused by indoor air pollution, dusts that are caused by a lot of conventional vacuum cleaners. by using the h2o vac, you're not only avoiding the production of a lot of these new dusts, but you're actually cleaning the air as you're vacuuming. >> i feel that my house is a lot cleaner with the h2o vac because i can see what i've accomplished. you just look at the water and you feel like, wow, i've really cleaned up 'cause it's all in here. it's trapped in the water and i can see it. >> now my dad can come visit us 'cause he's very allergic to dogs. so this will clean the air and get all of the dog hairs off my furniture and my carpets so that he can come and visit me. >> i broke a light bulb one time... and ordinarily that would be a disaster to clean up, but with the h2o vac, i just was

able to vacuum it right up, which was wonderful. >> to me, the h2o vac is that suction monster that goes through and just zips up everything. it's like magic. >> o.k., joe, what now? we going bowling? >> well, not exactly, but i have a bowling ball here 'cause i want to do a suction test between the h2o vac and a very popular canister vacuum, o.k.? >> o.k. >> you're gonna help me with this. we'll start with the h2o vac. i have a special adapter i've added to it. all right, now watch the bowling ball and watch what the h2o vac can do. i'm not surprised. you shouldn't be either, right? >> right. >> o.k. now i want you take the adapter, put it on yours and lift up the same bowling ball, o.k.? >> try that out. >> lift it up. well, well, well, you lifted it up-- that must mean that that canister vacuum is just as good as the h2o vac, right? >> well, yeah. >> no... [laughs] give me the adapter, 'cause i want to show you something. this is the dirty little secret that the manufacturers of vacuum cleaners don't tell you. when they do this test, they perform it, they perform it with brand-new clean filters, no dirt

inside of the vacuum. how realistic is that? >> when was the last time that you vacuumed your house with an empty vacuum bag? >> hmm... never. >> exactly, so let's do a real test. why don't you vacuum up this sand, o.k.? >> o.k. >> that's some serious dirt there, o.k.? vacuum up the sand. now the vacuum is getting filled up, now the filter actually has dirt in it, o.k.? >> o.k. >> all right, you ready to use the adapter? >> yeah. >> now let's see what kind of suction you've got. come on. >> [laughs] >> with... >> wow! >> there you go! with dirt in the canister, your vacuum failed. turn that off. [laughs] >> oh, i get it, i get it. >> yeah, now let me try it, o.k.? >> o.k. >> o.k., what i'm gonna do, i'm gonna take it to an extreme measure. with the h2o vac, i'm gonna suck up all this sand. >> right. >> but forget one. let's go two-- i'm gonna double what you did. >> whoa! >> remember, i've got a water filtration system that doesn't allow the airflow to clog,

o.k.? >> all right. >> you never lose power... and... you... never lose... suction! >> oh, wow! >> look at that! >> oh, my gosh! >> is that great? >> that is so cool! >> and that's with a full amount of dirt-- double the dirt. >> double the dirt. >> that's the test that you never see on tv. >> yeah! >> and now you have. but you know what? the real proof is putting it in the hands of real vacuum users, and that's what we did. we took a little field trip to universal studios to see whatveryday people jus like youeally thght out the h2o vac turbo. ...would y use a regular vacuum on nuts and bolts? >> group: no... >> will your vacuum cleaner pick up glass? >> don't think so. >> can you suck up liquids with the central vac? >> no. >> but can your vacuum do this? >> group: no... >> this isn't gonna get it up, you're saying? >> not gonna get it up. >> you wanna bet? >> how much you wanna bet? >> o.k., we have, we have an official bet. you're saying it will not get it up. go for it. [laughs] >> woman: whoa! >> the egg goes right into a

we're sitting in our cars longer and we're standing for long periods of time. over 50 million people are hunched over their computers all day and there is so much more stress today. >> o.k., but, doctor, we're spending $50 billion a year and nothing seems to be working. >> well, what i want to show you is a breakthrough device that i believe is going to change the way we treat back pain forever. this unique device is called the back 2 life. >> but why is this so different from all the other options we just listed that aren't working so well? >> bella, let me show you. >> o.k. >> the back 2 life is an incredible machine, and here we have lori sitting here. >> hi. >> we'd like to have you scooch your backside as close to the machine as you can and straddle it. that's right, and then put your knees over the kneepads. please push the button. >> bella: oh... that's interesting. so, what are we looking at? >> dr. darrow: well, the first thing you'll notice is that lori is not stretching, she's not exercising.

the back 2 life machine is doing everything for her. >> i like that, because when i hurt my back, you know, i just didn't want to do all the exercises and stretches 'cause it hurt so much. >> dr. darrow: of course, but this isn't stretching. it's a back and forth, side to side, very gentle motion. it's what we call continuous passive motion. >> bella: o.k., continuous passive motion. now what exactly is that? >> bella, it's the secret to why back 2 life gets such amazing results. but let me first explain what actually causes most back pain. >> o.k. >> now, if we pretend this is your spine, what do we have? we have beautiful vertebrae here, which are the bones that hold the spinal cord. we have discs in between that are like shock absorbers, and in a healthy spine, we have great mobility. we can flex very easily. we can extend very easily. we can rotate and we can go side to side without pain. but what happens when people have back pain? come over here, please. >> o.k. >> and look what happens when we have compression from muscle spasm, which is what

occurs in daily life. >> o.k. >> we have a compression that takes place and what we really want is we want these discs to open up and the muscles to relax. so, bella, what we need to do is release the pressure to relieve the pain. >> so how do we do that? >> dr. darrow: once your back is tightened, the key to releasing that pressure is to introduce motion deep inside the muscle and between the vertebrae. we've never been able to do that before. you can't do it through ice packs, you can't do it through heat, you can't do it through traction. but with the back 2 life machine, you can. >> that's a pretty bold statement. >> well, this is why it's different. the back 2 life machine creates a gentle movement in the muscles and in your vertebrae which relaxes them for you. it flexes your spine. it actually helps to put your back into alignment. this continuous passive motion creates space between your vertebrae and allows oxygen and blood to flow into the area. and while doing this, it also balances the curvature

of the lower back. even if your pain is so bad it hurts to actually bend over, the back 2 life machine can still help relieve your pain. it's an amazing machine. >> i went shopping at the market the other day for an hour, no pain, whereas prior to the back 2 life... two minutes, i'm holding onto the shopping cart. it's... just like a miracle to me. >> you go to sit up, the alarm clock goes off and... "oh!" just... soon as your eyes open, you're reminded that your back hurts and that's been the... probably the biggest joy of it is waking up and just sliding out of bed. though it's not something that i think, oh, how much better my back is than it used to be since i'm using the back 2 life, it's that i don't think about my back anymore at all. >> over the past 12 years for my pain for my back, i've done physical therapy, massage, over-the-counter painkillers and prescription painkillers.

after starting with the back 2 life, i woke up and i realized that i had slept through the night. i was like... that, that's been the best gift, uh, of everything. to have years of pain basically ease away in a week was absolutely incredible. >> i haven't had any problem when i go to get out of my car. i don't have to lean in the same spot all the time. i would go to a mall for an hour and i'd say, "hey, i gotta get to the car... my back's killing me!" now i walk at the mall for exercise. all i know is that it works. >> i always hurt before. i mean, for 20 years, my back has hurt and i've accepted it. and then i was introduced to back 2 life and now, all of a sudden, it just doesn't hurt. after the third day, i had definite relief. i quit taking the aspirin and all pain medication after the third day. the pain's gone. i mean, i don't have the pain or the, the pressure, i think, on my lower back that

i'm, that i'm used to. >> i couldn't stand for a long period of time, i couldn't sit for a long period of time. uh, i couldn't lift my son at all and i really thought i should not be going through this at 33 years old. i used back 2 life for a week and a half and i had no more back pain. it's just a something as simple as sitting back and relaxing and letting this machine do all the work and then you get these types of results. who can ask for anything better? i'm still kind of in shock to say i don't have pain. i don't have any pain. >> if you or anyone you know suffer from some sort of back pain, you owe it to yourself to try this remarkable machine. and here's the best part: the back 2 life people are so certain that it will work for you, you can try it at home for a full 30 days absolutely risk-free. so what are you waiting for? pick up the phone and try the back 2 life risk-free. i promise you, you'll be

[♪...] >> i have tried everything for the pain. i've been to chiropractors, i've been to doctors. if there's a solution out there, i've tried it. that's what brought me to the back 2 life. i've used the back 2 life for three weeks now. the first day, i felt relief. by the end of the first week, i slept the first eight-hour

night that i had slept in over three years in my life. and now that it's three weeks down the road, i can say that for the last six nights, i have slept eight hours without waking up once in the middle of the night in pain, and i feel like a new person right now. i feel like i'm getting quality back to my life from the back 2 life. my hips don't hurt. my back does not hurt. i'm standing here right now, 100% free of pain, and i've been standing here for 20 minutes. it's... that, to me, is, it's more than amazing, it's a miracle, because i really didn't think there was an answer. you feel like jumping up and down and celebrating, and the best part is that you can. [laughs] you can! >> so, doctor, you're telling us the back 2 life can be our first option before opening the medicine cabinet and reaching for all those pain pills? >> bella, in my practice, pain pills are the very last option and here's why. the average person may take quite a few more than this, but let's say it's just four pain pills per day. >> bella: o.k.

>> doesn't look like much, does it? >> no. >> think about that... four over the course of a year is more than 1500. >> oh, this is unbelievable. that can't be good. >> it isn't. we know that just about every pill that comes out has side effects. the effect is cumulative. we used to think that if someone just took a small amount of pills per day they would be fine. now we find in studies that when people take these pills, every single one of them accumulates in the organs over the years. >> hmm. >> this is dangerous. >> so it is an epidemic in our society. >> it is an epidemic and it's one that we have to change. but guess what? we finally found something that works. >> i could not get through a day, uh, without taking painkillers. so, um, i started using back 2 life and for the last... well, since i've started using it, i have not had to take a painkiller. >> i was taking so many painkillers until i started using the back 2 life machine.

i had excruciating pain and i was popping the painkillers like they were candy all day long. i was very surprised that the back 2 life worked as quickly as it has. in fact, the first two days, i got a tremendous amount of relief. it has changed my life. >> my doctor prescribed painkillers, prescription painkillers, and i've been taking them for at least 15 years, if not 20, and assumed i would be doing this the rest of my life with the painkillers. and, uh, i was taking six a day, sometimes eight a day and then i was introduced to back 2 life. i would say after the third day, i had definite relief. i quit taking the aspirin and all pain medication after the third day. >> since using back 2 life... true, true statement-- i have not taken any medication at all for my back... zero. >> announcer: introducing the back 2 life 12-minute back pain solution. this extraordinary medical

[♪...] >> it's the worst feeling in the world, feeling that you're gonna be dependent on someone else for the most basic needs, you know, like... you needed someone to help you get out of bed just to go to the restroom or need someone to come and get you out of bed just to go to the dinner table. and it was frustrating. my wife-- it was also, you know, taking a toll on... on my personal life. i have a two-year-old son, uh, who's very lovable. he likes to be carried, he likes to cuddle and, you know, i couldn't do it. he would come... he would

come over to the bed and then he would caress me and he would ask me, "what's wrong, daddy? why can't you... let's go outside. let's go play." and i'd have to tell him, i go, "son, i can't." you know, "not now, i can't." you know, "daddy's not feeling well." now, two weeks later, i can. i'm able to pick him up, i'm able to hold his weight, i'm able to bring him close to me and... and, play games with him. i went from being bedridden before back 2 life to being able to move, drive, walk. it's amazing. i'm back. i'm back, you know, the old me is back and back 2 life has given me that freedom back. you know, i feel like, i feel like a new man. >> welcome back. we're here with back pain specialist dr. marc darrow discussing the back 2 life, the 12-minute back pain solution that has made headlines all over europe. dr. darrow, the back 2 life seems so simple but i would expect something that works this well to kind of push and pull and stretch and crack and

all that kind of thing. >> that's what you'd really expect, bella, but the back 2 life device has been specifically designed by back pain experts to minimize the movement of the spine. and that's for a very specific reason. your muscles don't relax by being pushed and pulled dramatically. many of the treatments out there actually make your back worse. the truth is, bella, all you need is this gentle motion for just 12 minutes. it's really effective. it really works. >> bella: so it's very safe and very effective. >> exactly. >> when your lower back hurts, everything hurts, or when your lower back hurts, every move you make or do reminds you of how bad that pain is. typically, when there's a problem in the spine, muscles around that area will automatically lock up, and if you, if there's pressure there, there will be pain constantly. the pressure has to be released from the spinal canal. when using the back 2 life product, there is a back and forth oval motion and the, the pelvic cavity is lifted up

and then down in a very gentle motion, and this will help stretch the muscles in the lower back. it'll relieve the pressure on the lower lumbar discs that have built... been built up. and the back 2 life product will give relief to any of these cases, whether they're severe to moderate to mild. all the patients that i've worked with, we have noticed either fantastic, uh, extreme results, down to, uh, very good results from the use of this product. >> as an osteopath using manipulation, what i'm usually trying to do is restore motion. the restricted motion leads to extra spasm, leads to pain, so i'm trying to restore the motion. this back 2 life restores motion. it's a constant motion machine. the vast majority of the time, acute back pain is muscular. in back strain, the back 2 life would move the muscle passively, which helps reduce swelling, which helps reduce spasm, therefore helping to reduce

the pain. what i'm absolutely confident about is that this is safe and that people should gain flexibility, pain relief and mobility and return to their lives, so i'm, i'm sure that it's safe and i'm sure that a lot of people are gonna benefit from this machine. >> i probably evaluate 10 to 12 patients per day just with low back injuries. this product is gonna work for 90-plus percent of patients that come in with low back pain. easy to use and, um, really safe and effective. >> bella, this machine is a real breakthrough. >> well, you know, doctor, i'm not a back expert but, uh, it would seem to me that not all back pain comes from the same source. am i right on that? >> well, you're absolutely correct. there are so many different reasons people have back pain. the back is an extremely complex set of muscles and bones and discs and nerves. so we find that the back 2 life system can get to the source of all of that.

>> so what you're saying is, without surgery, without painkillers and without visits to the chiropractor, the back 2 life can help relieve nearly every kind of back pain? >> bella, by using this gentle and effective motion, in a short period of time, even if you've had severe back pain for years, you should see remarkable results. >> it's a very gentle motion. it's very subtle and you're almost wondering how could this even work. but it does work. >> back 2 life machine absolutely works. i am living proof of it. >> i am walking proof. i can... and i'm sitting proof that it works. so, i mean, my results have been phenomenal. >> i can say that with, with all conviction and honesty, back 2 life works. >> it's very simple. it works. >> it works. back 2 life works. >> i, i am... i am a believer. [laughs] >> it really is a miracle. >> i'm a skeptic. i'm a physician. i, i look at science and i investigate things and, and i wasn't looking for an easy relief.

this machine helped me in just the first 12 minutes i used it. >> back 2 life works for me. i'm, you know, i'm a convert, 'cause i was a skeptic at first and, uh, i'm thrilled. >> to have years of pain basically ease away in a week was absolutely incredible. >> back 2 life works. it really works. uh, i... i'd like to see other people who, like myself, have had those limitations... gain the freedom that i have today. you really, really need to try it. it works. >> on behalf of all of the back pain sufferers, we'd like to thank dr. darrow. and if you're one of us, suffering from back pain, and you haven't already called, what are you waiting for? you owe it to yourself to try this incredible machine.

believe me, the back 2 life works. >> announcer: does it hurt to bend over? are you losing endless nights of sleep because of back pain? does your back twinge when you get up in the morning? has standing or walking become a backbreaking battle? are you sitting on the sidelines while everyone else has all the fun? then your life is about to change forever. introducing the back 2 life 12-minute back pain solution. this extraordinary medical breakthrough is causing a sensation across europe because of the amazing results back pain specialists are finally able to achieve for their patients. it's so unique, it holds three worldwide patents and is now available in the united states for the very first time. the amazing back 2 life focuses on the source of your back pain, using a revolutionary new approach. it actually eases your pain naturally while you just lie back and relax. the secret to back 2 life's extraordinary results is a breakthrough technique called continuous passive motion. simply lay back in complete
