Share When Do You Renew The Carbon Pads? By Carlyle Coash If you are using the carbon rubber pads to apply microcurrent stimulation for treatment anywhere on your body, we recommend you replace these pads once a year. The carbon pads are reusable, economic and very effective, but they do wear out. Trouble is, you cannot see when they wear out. Making a rubber electrode that will conduct electricity is a high-tech trick. When you run current, even microcurrents through these pads every day, the electrical quality of the material changes. The electrical resistance in the pads increases with use. Eventually, the pads act as insulators, not conductors. Replace the pads every year. If it suddenly seems that your unit is no longer putting out any current, replace the pads as this is likely the issue.
Share What You Do When You Don’t See Flashing By Carlyle Coash This topic is only of interest to those people with macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa or Stargardt disease using microcurrent stimulation to support the health of their eyes. Microcurrent stimulation is used in medicine to restore the energy in the tissues being treated. When tissues regain their normal level of energy and metabolism they then have the energy they need for repair and regeneration. When treating the eyes, this therapeutic current also causes the retinal cells responsible for sight to respond, and the brain interprets this in the same way as if light had stimulated those cells. Our brain thinks the microcurrent stimulation is some sort of light and reports it as such. If the current is pulsing at nine times per second (9 Hz), then your brain thinks you are seeing a light flashing at nine times a second. But there is no light. People with retinal degeneration due to macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa or Stargardt disease, when they adjust the current for treatment as instructed, may not see flashing. This is okay. There cells are not healthy when they first begin the program, and their eyes will not respond to the microcurrent simulation in the same way that their eyes are not responding normally to light. When people finally start to see the flashing, they know their eyes are starting to heal.
Share How Much Microcurrent Stimulation Do I Need Every Day? By Carlyle Coash If you are doing microcurrent stimulation as part of the therapy for your eyes, do the minimum recommended by your practitioner. Most practitioners recommend 20 minutes of treatment twice a day. If you are using the newer automatic unit from MicroStim®, the unit is programmed to deliver a five-minute treatment cycle. So, you would do four cycles, twice a day, five days a week. Taking two days off each week is important, and taking a rest from treatment of 1 to 2 weeks every two months is recommended. If you have the luxury of extra time in your day to devote to eye health, we recommend adding other healthy activities like walking, yoga, Pilates, Qi gong etc. Anything you do to benefit your overall health will benefit the health of your eyes.
Share New Podcast: Role of Microcurrent Stimulation in the Better Eye Health Program By Carlyle Coash As part of our ongoing series of podcasts, we have a talk Dr. Miller gave at the Academy of Comprehensive Integrative Medicine (ACIM). In it he explores the history of the Better Eye Health Program and the role of Microcurrent Stimulation (MCS) plays in the treatment. He talks about the developer of the program, Grace Halloran, and how she had success with and without the use of MCS. The talk is comprehensive and full of good information.
Share Results of the Application of the Method of Transcutaneous Electrostimulation of the Visual System in Ophthalmology By Carlyle Coash If you have a problem with your optic nerve you’ll be very interested in knowing that the therapies that we use, mostly for the treatment of retinal disease in the United States have proven very effective in treating optic nerve disease. Much of this research has, and continues to come from Russia and other parts of the former Soviet Union. This […]
