Last April, the worst earthquake Italy has seen in three decades struck the historic central Italian city of L’Aquila. The disaster killed hundreds, left tens of thousands homeless and injured more than 1500 people.

LifeWave responded by donating patches to help emergency response workers, volunteers and victims cope with the aftermath of this catastrophe.  This donation was instrumental in improving sleep, relieving pain and providing much-needed energy, as well as boosting antioxidant levels.

This distribution was facilitated by LifeWave distributor Luca LaBella and Professor Angelo Marra, Vice-President of the International Observatory of Discomfort (IOD). They began by distributing the patches to Italian Red Cross volunteers, who were amazed and “shocked by these applications.” The IOD was also instrumental as an intermediary to psychologists who have used the patches to help victims deal with the mental effects of this disaster.

On October 25, 2009, LifeWave CEO and inventor of this patch system, David Schmidt, received an overwhelming surprise. Before a crowd of more than 800 gathered for LifeWave’s open meeting at the Ergife Palace Hotel in Rome, an emissary from the mayor’s office presented David with a bronze coin to acknowledge LifeWave’s contribution to Italy’s earthquake victims.

And according to Mr. LaBella, the donation continues to help victims: “We made a lot of contact with doctors who are working with the population because many victims are still living in a situation of depression and anxiety that they can now face with our Energy Enhancer patch, or with the help of Silent Nights to receive a solution for insomnia.”
