* The incidence of dysautonomia is a common complication in several disorders and has been observed in customers suffering from Parkinson’s, migraine, cervicogenic headaches, fibromyalgia, hypermobility syndromes, psychiatric disorders, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, epilepsy, and acute polyarthritic conditions. Symptoms may include dizziness, vertigo, nausea, low blood pressure, and visual disturbances. If dysautonomia symptoms are noted during the initial 2-4 treatments with a SYMBYX device, we recommend ceasing treatment and immediately contacting Clinical Support atclinicalsupport@symbyxbiome.com. Usually, these symptoms are transient and dissipate after a 3-5 day complete rest period, followed by gradual reintroduction of the therapy under clinical supervision. 

** Patient’s with a pacemaker should exercise extra caution and avoid placing the laser over their chest/heart region, even though no negative episodes have been documented. 

***Please do not treat directly over thyroid, glands, genitalia or eyes at any time. There is insufficient supporting evidence for the treatment of these regions.
