“I tried the X39 patch and it didn’t work.”
This is something I hear every so often when the X39 patch comes into discussion.
It’s disappointing when I hear someone tell me the X39 patch didn’t work on them when there are so many factors that come into play. Often when I try to discuss these “factors” with them, they don’t want to hear the possible reasons why the X39 didn’t work for them because they’ve already made up their mind about the patch.
While I personally noticed an amazing difference during my very first week of wearing the patch, this is really not the norm for the majority of people.
Here are some main reasons why the X39 patch may not be working for you:
You didn’t wear it long enough. - To give the X39 patch ample time to work, you really need to commit to wearing the patch for at least 3 months because around this time is generally when the magic happens.
If you only plan to try a 1 month’s supply of X39 patches, I don’t recommend this at all because only some people notice positive changes this early on while wearing the patch.
It’s super important for you to also be aware that to see optimal results from the X39, you will need to wear the patch 1 month for every decade that you’ve been alive. So for example: If you’re 50 years old, you would need to wear the patch for at least 5 months to see optimal results from the patch. But if you want to continue reaping the benefits, it’s recommended to continue wearing the patch after that time period.
You didn’t wear it consistently. - To see results as soon as possible with the X39, you need to be wearing the patch every day for 12 hours on and 12 hours off. If you miss a day every now and then, that’s perfectly fine, but ideally you want to be wearing the patch every day to get the results you’re hoping for in the quickest amount of time.
You started feeling sick, and stopped wearing it. - I want to emphasize how normal it is to experience an initial detox phase while on the X39 patch. You may have headaches, feel feverish, or just unwell. This is totally normal and should typically halt after 1-2 weeks. After this period is over, you should start feeling amazing.
The reason why the X39 can initially make you feel sick is because the patch sends signals to your body telling it to produce glutathione, the master detox antioxidant.
If the detox is becoming too much for you to handle, I recommend backing off the patch usage to give your body a break. To do so, you can do one or more of the following:
Wear the patch for only a few times a week.
Limit the number of hours you wear it every day.
Wear the patch at night time, rather than during the day (as long as it’s not keeping you from getting a good night’s rest).
Then once you start feeling better, you’ll want to slowly work your way back up to wearing the patch again daily for the full 12 hours.
You wore it 24/7. - It is imperative that you take a 12 hour break from wearing the patch every day to ensure your body has a break from the patch and doesn’t get used it. You should put the patch on in the morning and wear it for a maximum of 12 hours. Then before bed, you should take it off & throw it away, and not put a new patch on for another 12 hours.
If this doesn’t make sense to you, let’s compare this scenario to drinking coffee -When you’re a frequent coffee drinker, your body starts to becomes more tolerant to caffeine, and in order for you to get that extra boost of energy you used to get from coffee, you have to start drinking more coffee during the day. Make sense? This isn’t exactly how it works with the X39 patch though because wearing more X39 patches won’t fix the issue. The fix will always be taking that 12 hour break at night.
You have been reusing old patches. - You shouldn’t be reusing your old X39 patches after you’ve already worn them for 12 hours. This is because the nanocrystals in the patches begin to degrade after they’re activated by heat and your body’s infrared light. When the nanocrystals degrade, the patches become less effective, and eventually useless. If you’ve been wearing the same X39 patch for a week, you’ve been wearing a dead patch, and that’s why you’re not seeing results.
You are chronically dehydrated. - For any of the LifeWave phototherapy patches to work, you must make it a priority to stay hydrated. If you aren’t drinking adequate water every day, this could be why the patches aren’t working for you.
Did you also know that it’s better to take small sips of water throughout the day, rather than drinking copious amounts of water in one sitting? When you drink large quantities of water within a short period of time, that water will run straight through you - in the form of urine! Drinking water quickly like that does not give your cells adequate time to hydrate, so try to drink your water more slowly!
Additionally, if you’re sweating a bunch and not adding electrolytes to your water, this can also cause dehydration, as electrolytes are essential for water movement into and out of cells.
To level it up, consider structuring your drinking water to optimize your cellular hydration. If you have access to fresh spring water (or bottled Mountain Valley Spring water), you shouldn’t need to structure it though.
If you decide to purchase the Therasage structured water pitcher linked above, you can use code healingfrommold to save 10%. I like this water pitcher because not only does it structure water and filter out nasty chemicals & heavy metals, but it also filters out fluoride which many water filters don’t do!
You are deficient in certain vitamins and minerals such as copper, magnesium, or potassium.- This somewhat ties into the previous bullet point because when you’re deficient in certain minerals, your cells won’t be able to hydrate properly. But let me also mention that if you’re deficient in copper, your body won’t be able to produce the copper peptide GHK-Cu, which is imperative for the X39 patch to work properly.
This is precisely why LifeWave is coming out with a powder drink supplement (called Cellergize) that has all the essential vitamins and minerals needed for optimal usage of their their patches. But…as long as you eat a well balanced, nutritious diet, you likely won’t need to consume Cellergize. This will, however, be very beneficial for anyone who thinks their nutrition is lacking certain vitamins and minerals.
You’re not in tune with your body. - Benefits from the patches can sometimes sneak up on you, and if you’re not paying close enough attention, you may never notice them. For example: You could have a dull ache in your leg every day, but after wearing the patches for a few weeks, the pain goes away. The thing is you may have totally forgotten you had the pain to begin with.
This is why it’s so important for you to keep a journal of the health issues you’re experiencing, your current sleep patterns, energy levels, etc., so you can track how you’re feeling week after week, and start comparing the data. If you need some guidance on tracking your health progress, you can use this health tracker.
You have unrealistic expectations. - The X39 patch is great and all, but it cannot fix every health issue you have especially if you’re not identifying the root cause and doing something about it. For example, if you’re living in a toxic mold riddled environment, these patches can only do so much. If you’re eating McDonald’s every day, the patches can only do so much. If you’re not getting adequate sleep every night, these patches can only do so much. And the list goes on and on.
LifeWave makes it very clear that their patches do not treat, prevent, or cure any illnesses or diseases, but that does not mean the patches cannot help alleviate symptoms of some of the issues you’re dealing with.
Think of the patches like a health supplement. Health supplements can help to an extent, but you still need to take proper care of your body if you want to get the most out of the X39 patch. Taking proper care of your body looks like:
Daily movement or exercise
Drinking clean, filtered water
Getting daily sunlight exposure
Spending time outdoors
Minimizing stress
Eating healthy, nutritious, meals that are preferably organic and unprocessed (when possible)
Using less toxic cleaning and personal care products
Getting quality sleep every night
You’re using too many other phototherapy patches with the X39. - It’s important to not get carried away with all the other patches LifeWave offers. I know it can be exciting learning about them and wanting to try them all, but using too many patches starting out can overwhelm your body. In this case, less is more! I highly recommend wearing only the X39 patch for the first month, and then if you want, you can slowly incorporate other patches in after that. An exception to this is if you have a ton of inflammation or even a highly dysregulated nervous system, you could start off by wearing both the X39 and Aeon patch. Many people have great results using both of these patches starting out.
You had a reaction (or skin irritation) from the patch adhesive, and decided to stop wearing it - If your skin is becoming irritated by the X39 patch adhesive, there is a simple fix! You can simply stick the patch to the inside of your clothing, rather than on your skin. It’s as easy as that, and yes, the patch will still work just as well even though it’s turned the other way.
You’re part of the 4% of the population the patches don’t work on. - If you’ve read this entire page, and are certain you are doing everything right, you may be part of the 4% of the population the patches don’t work on, which I know is a total bummer!
I haven’t been able to find any data or scientific studies on why this is, but this is what has been communicated on many of the zoom meetings I have attended and literature I have read.
Well, that about sums it up! If you follow these tips for optimizing your X39 patch usage, I promise you will have much better results (and expectations).
