Hi Bill,
I was on the original frame. What memories that brings back. The first time
I can REMEMBER being turned face down, I felt like I was standing up with my
feet up and my face at the bottom, and being squeezed out the canvass straps
like tooth paste. What fun!
With Love,

I liked the Stryker you showed (also called the "Circo-lectric"). I
hated the original Stryker frame which turned side-to-side instead of standing
you up then onto your stomach. Pure torture!

Hi Dan,
Were you on a Stryker Frame? I was on one 3 months getting turned every two
hours. I still have the Tongs that were in my head turning that time. They
somehow slipped into my wife's purse after they took them out of my head.
Speaking of Stryker Frames makes me feel strange. My 1st Grandson was born
in 1993 at Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo, MI. That is where Dr. Stryker got
permission in 1939-40 to work in the basement to perfected his turning frame
and other inventions. Funny how life curls around!
