If you use microcurrent, what are your favorite treatments?  Please post them here on my blog.

Most people only think of microcurrent electro-acupuncture as a treatment for pain.  There are actually many valuable treatments that address common issues people suffer with.  Here are some of the most useful:

Pain Relief

While most microcurrent treatments are specific to painful or dysfunctional parts of the body, sometimes it is valuable to spread the subtle currents throughout the body for general balancing and toning.  This is especially valuable when patient’s meridians are weak and the pulse is hard to read.  Here are  some methods for doing that with the Acutron system:

Here are several ways to get the microcurrent to spread out throughout the body:

1) Using microlight probes – select Probe preset #2 and place the + probe on an upper body area such as head or upper back.  Place – probe on lower extremity or feet acupoints.  Select color to match need of patient – red for increasing Yang energy, Blue for calming, Green for balancing, Violet for deeper calming, Magenta for emotional balance, etc.  I have often done this to connect GV 20 (Du 20) on the head with + probe to GV (Du) 1 with the – probe – very profound effects.

2) You can do the Voll quadrant treatment – Use uA Pad preset #1 (default is 10 Hz frequency, 50 uA, biphasic polarity), place 2 pad electrodes on the two palms of hands using Channel A, let current run for 10 minutes.  You can also do this on the two soles of feet.  Make sure they drink lots of water with this one.  Boosts all meridians at the 10 Hz.

3)  You can purchase an optional brass foot plate for patients to put their bare feet on using the red hand mass cable connection.  Then use the trigger probe with color to treat scalp acupoints or other upper body major points.  Great for neurological post stroke patients.

Here’s a quote from a chapter I am writing for a new book about Qi;

The key is understanding how crystalline substances transmit energy, and how our bodies are literally living crystals!

Crystals are substances made of orderly, repetitive arrays of molecules.  Many crystals are considered to be semiconductors.  That means that they both conduct and resist electrical flow, somewhere in between insulators (such as rubber) and conductors (such as copper wires).  Semiconduction allows for many activities vital to both computer technology and life processes.  Computer micro-processors use specially created semiconductors to produce desired programs and functions, and our bodies similarly use semiconduction to transmit subtle electrical energies and information throughout the body. 

Semiconduction occurs in bone, connective tissue and in the myelin sheaths of nerves.  According to Robert Becker, M.D. semiconduction is the more primitive aspect of our nervous system that supports healing and regeneration of organs and limbs.  Many allegedly “primitive” creatures such as salamanders and lizards can do this feat while “higher” creatures such as human beings can only do this in very limited ways.  Becker was able to induce both frogs and rats to regenerate limbs by applying microcurrents in experimental settings, which these creatures cannot do on their own.
