All Podcast Microcurrent Stimulation Podcast By Carlyle Coash Share BETTER EYE HEALTH PODCAST - EPISODE 22Podcast: Download (Duration: 3:10 — 5.8MB)Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS | More 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.As always you will find the link to the Podcast, as well as the full transcript.

What You Do When You Don’t See Flashing TRANSCRIPT FOR BEH PODCAST EPISODE 22WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU DON'T SEE FLASHINGDr. Miller: The next question is one regarding a father asking about his daughter. The daughter is doing the therapies and she doesn’t see flashing when she does the color therapy, but the father and his wife tried the strap on their eyes and they see the flashing with the microstim treatment. So they are wondering if that’s normal.Before I answer that, let me first just say something briefly. The intention of the microcurrent therapy is to attract stem cells to your eyes. So if you just remember that, it’s attracting those cells that are going to help your eyes regenerate. So microstim is important to do, but the question here is about whether you need to see the flashing. You see the flashing if your eyes are healthy. If your eyes are quite diseased, you may not see the flashing. And when you start to see the flashing, you’ll know your eyes are getting better. But, the most important thing and the answer to the question is to remember that the way that you would adjust the current output for the microcurrent unit has nothing to do with the flashing. We talk about the flashing because it happens. We don’t want you to be frightened about it, we want you to understand that it’s a normal thing. However, you don’t adjust the current output based on the flashing. You set the current based on what you feel. With the strap on, you turn the unit up, until you first start to feel some tingling in your eyes, and then you back off until there’s no feeling at all. You should do the treatment at that level. If during the treatment, you start to feel something again, you adjust the current a little lower. The idea is that you want a sub-threshold treatment; you want to be treating your eyes with as much current as possible, without feeling anything. That’s important. Resist the temptation to ignore the tingling. Sometimes you feel a little tingling and you think, “oh this helps me know I’m getting something”. No, you want to feel nothing. So make sure the unit isn’t turned all the way down. If the only way you don’t feel anything is you’ve got the unit basically turned off, then let us know that you’re having that issue. The flashing shouldn’t change how you adjust the machine. If the flashing is there, that’s fine. If it’s not there that’s also fine.
