Frequency Specific Microcurrent FAQ
What is Microcurrent?
Traditional electroacupuncture devices and TENS devices deliver milliamp current. In contrast, microcurrent is a gentler, electrical current delivered in the millionths of amps range, i.e. it is a 1000 times less than milliamp. Microcurrent is the same kind of current your body produces on its own within each cell, and thus it is more harmonious with the body’s innate bioelectrical activity than milliamp current. It is very small; there is not enough current to stimulate sensory nerves so the current flow cannot be felt.
What is Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM)?
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is a revolutionary system of noninvasive treatment using microdoses of electrical current combined with tissue and action-specific frequencies to repair and heal tissues and organs. Specific frequencies for example, can reduce inflammation, resolve viral infections, dissolve scar tissue or adhesions, release trigger points muscles, increase energy (ATP) production, reduce nerve and muscle pain, facilitate the healing of acute and chronic illness, and improve organ functioning. FSM delivers a painless and targeted treatment to help energize cells and promote cellular regeneration and healing.
How does FSM work?
Frequencies create tissue changes by resonance. Resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate at some frequencies and not at others. Every chemical bond, every physical structure has a binding energy that holds it together, and has a resonant frequency that will cause it to oscillate, thus weakening or breaking the bond. A well-known example is that of the opera singer who when hitting a particular pitch (acoustic resonance) that matches the resonant frequency that binds the lead atoms of a crystal glass together, causing its atomic bonds to oscillate violently, and thus shattering the glass. Now change this example to scar tissue, a physical structure made of collagen that is wound up tight. The scar tissue is held together by bonds that help keep it short and tight. When the right frequencies are applied, scarring begins to soften immediately. Once the bonds break, collagen unwinds and as it elongates the binding sites separate and cannot reconnect. So once the scar tissue dissolves it cannot return to its previous form.
How Are the Frequencies Used?
Frequency protocols are sequences of frequencies observed to have a certain clinical effect. The frequency thought to address or neutralize the condition is assigned to channel A. The frequency thought to address the tissue is assign to channel B. The frequencies used are all less than 1000 Hz. There are frequencies which allegedly address over 200 conditions such as “inflammation”, “scar tissue”, “mineral deposits” and “toxicity”.
What Is the Difference between Microcurrent and TENS?
Microcurrent is approved in the category of TENS devices by the FDA. TENS devices deliver milliamp current and block pain messages that are trying to get up the spine to the brain. It also reduces ATP production. Microcurrent delivers sub-sensory microamperage current, 1000 times less than milliamp current, which has been shown in published studies to increase ATP production in tissues.
How Do I Prepare for a Treatment?
Microcurrent works most effectively when you are well hydrated. The day before your session you should be sure to drink several quarts (liters) of pure water. Tea, coffee, and sodas do not count, as they will cause you to flush the fluids out more quickly. Be sure to drink at least one quart in the hour before your treatment. Continue to drink this quantity of water, at a minimum, the day of your treatment, before and following the session.
