The Cellulite Myth: It's Not Fat, It's Fascia Kindle Edition

I love this true life story of Ashley Black and her miraculous journey to find out about fascia and then to share it with others . I am fascia blasting and it has changed my body and made it beautiful and given me back my health and increased my confidence . It’s A God miracle .

I purchased the FasciaBlaster strictly for vanity and cosmetic reasons. I wanted my 55 year-old legs to look like they did when I was 35, smooth, sleek and cellulite free. Ashley Black promised this, stating her tool was “100% effective, no matter how big or small you are!” I’m 5’7” and 140lbs. The device is even advertised to “cure” many ailments (which, as a nurse, should have been a red flag for me). I am leery of “quick fixes” and medical scams. I did extensive due diligence. I joined her online Facebook groups. I could find no evidence to debunk her claims. I could find no negative reviews or locate any posts that did not claim “amazing results” from use of the device. I also couldn’t find any actual medical trials or studies but the data I was able to gather told me to buy it!! And I did. And in the first 3-4 months, I felt like I was getting results. I was telling all my friends and family about it ad nauseam and even formed a local support group. Then things started to change despite me following the protocols (which keep changing without notice), heating as instructed, oiling, activating, flushing, icing, etc. I started getting cellulite where I didn’t have it before, namely my arms. The cellulite on the back of my thighs appeared worse. And most of all, my skin had changed. It appeared old, dry and crepe-like despite following directions on the blogs, and in the videos and on the Facebook page. I thought I was alone in my disappointment and was ready to chalk it up to another failed attempts at ridding myself of those nasty lumps and bumps. Until I found a Facebook page where results that were anything less than stellar were being posted. I used the FasciaBlaster for 9 months before quitting. Come to find out, the creator- AB, was censoring her Facebook page; not allowing negative results/adverse reaction post to be posted… period. She was deleting any/all negative comments. I finally discovered that I wasn’t the only one NOT getting the results that AB promised and also learned there were women actually being HURT with the device. My issues are small compared to some of the many others. I was made worse by a device that was guaranteed to give me 100% cellulite elimination. So now that I knew I wasn’t alone, I did some more digging. When I bought the tool, her Terms and Conditions state that the FasciaBlaster is NOT a medical device however, the packaging it came in says it is a Class 1 medical device with US Patent No. D735.818. The T&C also state that the AB Company does not identify itself or any of its personnel, as a licensed dietician, nutritionist, certified personal trainer, massage therapist, medical provider, or licensed/certified as a professional in any field. She touts herself as a scientist but has no medical or health related credentialing what-so-ever. She holds her man Bart Jameson as out as a Fasciologist and her gal Kathleen Stross as a Neuroscientist. It is an insult to those of us with well-earned degrees and a dangerous practice to engage in because she is regularly offering medical advice to the unsuspecting public several times a day on her FasciaBlaster Facebook pages. She flat out denied to users that were experiencing weight gain, that the FasciaBlaster did NOT and could NOT cause weight gain but then updated her T&C to include weight gain as a possible side effect. The updated T&C are 11 pages long, and include multiple new contraindications and warnings-the last T&C update was 4 pages. Because there were no clinical trials or studies conducted outside of “her camp” prior to it’s release to the masses, one can only conclude we, the consumers, have unknowingly been her test subjects. She actually called us her “guinea pigs” on a post as recent as March 10, 2017. And I know that had AB been honest, had she allowed dissenting views to be shared, had she listed ALL of the possible side effects/adverse reactions, had she posted genuine, unfiltered and un-photo shopped photographs, I would not have purchased the product. This woman’s business practices are despicable. Her integrity is questionable. And now, she’s threatening to sue anyone/everyone who has spoken out about her and her bad practices. The “device’ is hurting people. It needs to be remove from market and studied. I agree that it has worked for some people. It even worked for me in the beginning.

FAKE REVIEWS "BEWARE." I am a 2 year Fascia Blaster user. Let me tell you, I originally purchased this for my mother with stage 4 rectal cancer.my mother had lived with massive varicose veins & horrible leg circulation her whole life, I felt using this on her daily lightly would keep her circulation and strength up while fighting cancer. Yes, I was right. Not only did it help, it kept my mother off pain killers as her cancer became prolapsed after a biopsy.Due to my moms developing post biopsy cancer issues after developing Septic, this FB helped rid the majority of septic from her body and gave (what we believe) her 2-Extra years of life. And 99% pain free up until the moment she peacefully passed 3/22/17. This is documented with a team of 5 Doctors including Oncologist and Neuropathic Doctors. This tool is an amazing God send for many different medical reasons & not limited to bonus body issues. If used correctly you will be amazed. First you must educate yourself with videos and the book, (key word,educate) and common sence. Nothing is a quick fix tool, it takes educating yourself correctly before starting the FB, but you will start seeing & feeling immediate relief & results after first use. I am now working on my broken self and getting amazing results daily, that my Doctors seen no hope for, they are Amazed with my progress. Reinenterating "Education if Key."Now for fake reviews. Do some homework on the ones that posted bad reviews and you will clearly understand the vicious reviews. It's a shame that one person at the top of this vicious Tribe if the ring leader that used to be personally involved with the Auther & Inventer of the FB, and now angry and out to destroy her personally & Financially. I don't need not to say more. If you do few mins of homework you will completely see the insanity of this viscous Tribe is out for blood on any/ All websites or Facebook groups concerning the Author and Product they can find to post negitivity too.This tool is a must and needs to be available for people with Chronic medical conditions for relief, and not slandered against out of vindictiveness. Check FDA.Gov no reports of anything as some claim.(Look at all the Dates of bad reviews, same time periods) Always consult your Doctor before use for medical conditions with any product.BTW Contact Amazon and see how many book returns there have been? Amazons return policy 30days, unhappy readers you would think would had returned thief book by then is so bad, but Nope ( month later, all at same time. HUMM??)The FB Tool has a 60 day return policy, contact FasciaBlaster.com and see how many tools were returned with the 60 day trial, NONE ( only defect related replacements.) now that I have given some key information, after you do some research, make your own decision on this Amazing Book & Tool?!It's a shame that people with chronic pain would be afraid/detoured from a great tool that can help get amazing relief that with those that live in constant pain, by being manipulated by vicious reviews and lies. Only way you will know the truth if trying it for yourself!!! Educate yourself, it's beyond worth it!!!

Ashley is going to change the way women view and manage their weight ! Do your research and buy these products - I have been using her Fascia blaster for a year since thinking 'That's pretty much it, I may as well just accept its all down hill from here no matter how much I exercise and watch what I eat.' Then I stumbled across Ashley while researching lipo suction as a last (expensive and quite scary) resort. I started googling fascia and reading what other experts hint at, but seem to like to keep to themselves .... then I bought 2 of her blasters and 'gave it a go'. Within the first month I could see definition coming back and quality of the appearance of the skin on legs improving ... they are still not 'perfect' but I will wear shorts now, and next to nothing is going to stop me from helping myself to be the best I can be by using these products :)

Unbelievably dissapointed with this book. This book spears to be merely an opportunity for the writer to discuss her own life failures and accomplishments. I lost count of how many times the writer congratulates herself on her life achievements. The entire book could have been reduced to 1 chapter. Repetitive, patronising, and at times extremely dull. Waste of money. If you want to reduce cellulite..... eat better, reduce your intake of toxins, use a body brush and do a lot of exercise. Don’t be fooled by another “expert”.

I bought the book because it was referred to in an article I was reading about fascia - the third body system (other than muscular and skeletal) which has started to be being researched over the last 15 years. Its a real eye opener and makes a lot of sense but does take a leap of faith to look at our bodies in a different way and that the cause of a pain or ache may not be muscular or skeletal but due to a problem with our fasia. Sort the fascia problem out and you get rid of the pain.The title is misleading because it is so much more than about getting rid of cellulite, but the protocol Ashley Black has devised does sort out the fascia problem - which is what it really is as CELLULITE DOES NOT EXIST! Its just a name which has been given to describe areas of the body where the facsia is not smooth and has been damaged and need repair.If you're interested in learning more about how your body works and have an open mind then youwill enjoy this book and probably start to follow the protocols in it.

Load of rubbish

Excellent book and well worth the read.I have the fasciablaster and it has helped me in so many ways from my pain to my cellulite and the face blaster is a whole new game changer!I hope more and more people find this tool to change their lives
