Thorp's doctors reported, "His tibia plateau was shattered into over fifty pieces, like an egg shell. The team glued him back together using three pins, two plates and twelve screws. Even with their expert carpentry, the prognosis was still grim. "He will never be able to bend the knee. We have only one hope: a complete knee replacement. Without it, he will walk with a severe limp or will have to use a cane for the rest of his life." Having a complete knee replacement would make him a liability in the motion picture stunt business, ending his career forever.

Having a complete knee replacement would make him a liability in the motion picture stunt business, ending his career forever. That calling was not only inseparable from who he was as a person, but was also now on the brink of extinction because of one bad landing, and a money-based western medical doctor’s prognosis of John needing a total knee replacement. But a new kind of help was making its way to John — from a friend.

Lee Majors, one of John’s friends, recommended a new therapy that was showing dramatic results with professional athletes. This therapy used the Electro Acuscope and Myopulse instruments, and was widely utilized in the Sports Medicine Clinic Lee had been going to. John quickly took Lee’s advice. After his treatments, the results for John’s body were remarkable.

John returned to the world he loved as a stuntman. Amazingly, only one year from the date of the injury he ran his first triathlon with a leg doctors said would never bend again. Now, Twenty years and twenty-eight triathlons later, there is no sign of arthritis in his knee joint. He not only proved the doctor’s prognosis wrong, he healed himself with the Electro Acuscope and Myopulse instruments.

Though some people called it a miracle, it was the Electro Acuscope and Myopulse instruments and John’s own determination to heal, that helped in his rehabilitation. The body’s own healing process helped John’s body essentially “restructure” the knee joint with no surgery and no drugs, so it was just as useable as his other leg. Many people thought John hadn’t actually experienced the results he claimed. Some even believed he had received a miracle. But John knew better.

During his recovery time, John also began using the instruments on horses to test and prove the effectiveness of the instruments. John knew that horses could not ‘fake’ injuries or wellness. Much to the surprise of everyone (but John), the horses showed the same type of recovery John had.

People started talking about the “miracle recoveries” that were going on in horse stalls. The stories of John’s successes with horses became almost mythic in proportion. It also wasn’t uncommon to find not only horses but their riders as well walk into the horse stall in serious pain and then walk out pain-free after treatments with the Acuscope and Myopulse instruments.

Word of mouth was John’s only advertisement, and it wasn’t long before a friend wanted to open a wellness center, In Big Bear, California and have John bring his machines and work with a local Chiropractor he had retained. Human and equine recoveries continued, and ignited a passion in John to share this technology with the world.

John’s injuries opened doors to a world he never expected. Over the last 20 years he has lectured to medical doctors, chiropractors, and other health care practitioners about his own healing success and how he has helped thousands of others. His Twenty years plus, of consistent positive results attracted the attention of local, national, and international media. It also attracted the attention and endorsements of some of the top medical facilities in the world, such as Cedar Sinai, Castle Medical Center, Maui Memorial Hospital, UCLA and Westmont College,

Terry Bradshaw who used them to rehabilitate his damaged throwing arm, which helped him win the 1983 Super bowl, thrust the Acuscope and Myopulse into the limelight. Since that time, the Acuscope and Myopulse have been responsible for speeding up the recovery time of such elite athletes like Jonie Benoit, Jack Nicholas, Hale Erwin, Joe Montana, Wayne Gretsky, Mary Decker, and Michael Jordan. Even Pope John Paul had several at the Vatican.
What Professionals Are Saying About John Thorp, The Thorp Institute, and The Acuscope and Myopulse Instruments:

“When John treated me, I was shocked at how quickly it worked and how profound it was. I feel blessed that John and this technology exist!”

Jack Canfield - #1 New York Times Best-Selling Author of The Success Principles and co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series

“It was a wonderful learning experience to have participated in your recent training seminar at the Thorp Institute of Integrated Medicine. The academic approaches you utilized in teaching the proper procedures and benefits of the Electro Acuscope and Myopulse were excellent.

“I suffer from an anterior cruciate ligament tear, which is exacerbated by my childhood affliction from poliomyelitis. Under your guidance, the pain from the injury has diminished and the impossible has begun — the healing of the ligamental tear.

“It is noteworthy that the Electro Acuscope and Myopulse are the only medical devices that have ever received an Apostolic Blessing from the Vatican and they are approved by the FDA for pain management.

“It is my Hypothesis that the Electro Acuscope and Myopulse when properly administered can provide much more than pain management, but healing for muscular, cellular, bacterial or even viral infirmities.”
- Dr. Alex Daoud MD.

“Ten years ago, I had hips that needed to be replaced, I went to John and he regenerated them, so I’ve been ambulatory for a decade. I trust this guy implicitly.”
Mark Victor Hansen - Co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series and best selling co-author of the One Minute Millionaire

In 1987, John attended the institute of Oriental Medicine, in Honolulu, John felt that by getting a solid education in the placement of acupuncture points, channels, and meridians, it would amplify his results by using precise placement of probes and plates using the electro Acuscope and Myopulse.

John found a little known statute, under the Hawaii Massage Therapy licensing Board, which permitted the use of electrical stimulation devices by massage therapists. He had two more years to go to get his doctorate of Chinese medicine so he opted to get the massage license, which would only take a year. He became a licensed massage therapist in the state of Hawaii, in 1988 and began seeing patients in Dr. Barry Nutter’s office in Kahala Hawaii.

Hawaii’s worker’s compensation board allowed massage therapists to be considered licensed health care providers, and were permitted to use the Electro Acuscope and Myopulse. The state of Hawaii was willing to reimburse massage therapists for using the Acuscope and Myopulse in many of the treatments.

John was introduced to Dr. John Monge the Vice president of Castle Medical center in Hawaii, a division of Loma Linda, who had heard of some of John’s work. He had a problem with his Hamstring and was a Marathon runner that was having a hard time running. He asked John to come and demonstrate the Electro Acuscope and Myopulse at the Work Well Rehabilitation Center in Kaneohe Hawaii. Dr. Monge said you could demonstrate it on me. If it works on me we will give it a try at our Physical therapy center in Kaneohe.

Dr. Monge was very impressed. He made an offer John could not refuse and John was soon treating 8 patients a day with the same incredible results. Dr. Monge asked John to oversee the Work-well Rehabilitation Program and their chronic pain patients.

In the summer of 1992 John Thorps work was featured in the Health Scene, A Loma Linda newspaper, feature article entitled, “Stuntman Thorp Shares technology that saved his life.” And “Acuscope/Myopulse therapy helps the body heal itself.”

Castle Medical Center purchased three more outpatients physical therapy centers on Maui. John had trained and would now supervise the technicians, to guarantee the same results he had obtained using the Acuscope and Myopulse in five outpatient physical therapy centers: three on Maui and two in Honolulu.

When new technology is developed, and does not fit into the time frame of standard western medicine a technician is needed. The Profession of Radiology was created to handle the skills needed to operate an X-ray machine. If you wanted to get consistent results, using the electro Acuscope and Myopulse a well-trained technician was needed. John had witnessed thousands of recoveries using the Acuscope and Myopulse but the instruments were only as good as the practitioner using them.

There were at least three technicians in each center who John personally trained. John surrounded himself with physicians, podiatrists, and chiropractors, taking information from each of these medical practices and applying it to his specific use of these instruments. Overseeing Hundreds of patients per week and thousands of documented results fined tuned his Thorp Protocols as he continued to look for the flaw in this incredible technology.

With the results documented he knew he had found a new walk of technician medicine substantiated by a major medical center with measurable results. His over whelming success with the reduction of chronic pain associated with disease and injury could not be denied. He had clinically proven that these instruments, the electro Acuscope and Myopulse would definitely be a part of the Medicine of the Twenty First Century.

Through all of this, John never stopped doing his stunt work. His old buddy Lee Majors was back in town with a new series on CBS, “Raven”. Lee’s co-star was an Actor by the name of, Jeff Meek. Jeff had witnessed his own father’s recovery from Shingles by using John’s protocols using the Acuscope and Myopulse. When the series ended and Jeff returned to his Home in Los Angeles he could not shake what he had witnessed in Hawaii.

John decided it was time to open his own center. John opened the Balance Body Center, in Kahala Hawaii, in April of 1994 and began training massage therapists, to be the technicians to operate these incredible instruments. The combination of Physical Therapy and a physical therapist overseeing the Acuscope and Myopulse technician proved to be the ultimate combination. He incorporated both at The Balance Body Center and was featured on all three major News affiliates ABC, NBC, and CBS in the state of Hawaii. John’s Center was a success and with success comes expansion.

Jeff Meek had decided that he had to get involved and quickly notified John that he had found a location at the Westwood medical center in West Los Angeles and after several calls convinced John that he needed to Expand and get this technology to the real world of Medicine and felt that John could make a huge impact on how pain and injury was being treated.

John and Jeff opened the Thorp Institute of Alternative Medicine at the Westwood medical Center in the summer of 1995. The clinic was an immediate success. The Thorp Institute was contacted by UPN and the show “Strange Universe” to do a featured piece on Thorp’s use of the Electro Acuscope and Myopulse. It seemed to be a good idea at the time Thorp Said but he soon realized there was a big difference in being featured on local news channels in Hawaii in comparison to national coverage by a national and international station.

The response was overwhelming. Calls came in from all over the country and Thorp quickly realized that a lot of people were given hope by seeing the show. Unfortunately the majority of these people were from other states and even other countries and could not afford to get on a plane and come to Thorps clinic. Thorp did not have a network of trained technicians across the country and he could not guarantee the same results that he and his team were getting that generated all the news media coverage. He did not want one person to have a negative experience with these instruments.

After returning several calls and hearing the despair in their voices when he told them he had no one trained in their area, and knowing that there were thousands of micro-current instruments out there in clinics that were untrained, he decided Thousands of negative experiences could ruin all his hard work of proving the effectiveness of the electro Acuscope and Myopulse instruments using his proven clinical protocols.

National television shows have asked if they could do a feature story regarding Thorps personal experience, as well as the thousands of other success stories that have come from the use of the Electro Acuscope and Myopulse instruments and He has turned them all down.

He felt that until he had a referral network capable of handling the demand for this type of treatment, it is not appropriate to announce the instrument’s effectiveness, simply because there are currently not enough trained technicians to handle the case load. There are many micro-current black boxes out there with various results. Anyone with one could say it is the same as what we are doing says Thorp and they just are not!

“Once we have trained hundreds of clinics and technicians coast to coast to properly use the Acuscope and Myopulse the same way I do, we’ll begin the media blitz,” says John.

John Closed the Doors of Thorp Institute of Alternative Medicine in the fall of 1997 and moved to Ojai California to begin writing, as well as filming all of his clinical protocols to share with the world. He recently has completed his Auto biography, and is in the final editing stages, entitled “Nine Lives”

John Thorp now trains doctors in every walk of medicine, from veterinarians to neurosurgeons. He has trained virtually every type of doctor in the proper use of the same technology that saved his Stunt Career and offered a new career in health care to thousands of others. He has been called the “Doctors’ Doctor.” Although, when people call him this, he always states that he is in fact not a doctor, but a stuntman with a vision for health and healing. He recently was married to Lisa Egizii and they plan to finish his goal of delivering a painless drug free therapy that will change the face of medicine in clinics across the country. They currently live in Long Beach California and hope to return to the islands as soon as the vision is completed.

The Thorp Institute of Integrated medicine is the Corporation that will help deliver his message and has just been formed and is ready to share with the world the new paradigm shift from sickness to wellness in the Twenty First century and BEYOND. A future without pain and without fear. It’s here. Now.”
