Changes in Microcurrent Stimulation
I would like to share with you the changes that have taken place
with microcurrent and the microcurrent equipment over the past
8 years. Many patients become interested in microcurrent after
reading my book Microcurrent Stimulation: Miracle Eye Cure and
they expect to experience the same type of equipment and treatment
that was outlined in the book. The equipment and treatment has
evolved since this book was published and I hope this report
will give you a much better understanding. I became interested in using microcurrent in 1999 after I read
the report of Sam Snead having a marked improvement of his vision.
This was reported by Tim Franklin Publisher of the Hot Springs
Star on March 17, 1998. Sam was quoted as saying, "I am
going to get a drivers license next year".
The mechanism
of microcurrent is felt to be the following; 1) !ncreases the
circulation to the eye, 2) Stimulates the function of the retinal
cells and 3) Reduces scar tissue. The effects of 10 to 500 microamps
on the cellular level have been documented by Dr. Cheng to increase
ATP production by 500%, increase protein synthesis by 70% and
increase cell transport by 40%. The history of microcurrent can be devided into 3 distinct
periods.
The Microstim 100 with a single channel probe, the OMCS
unit with two channel glasses and the Inspirstar 2 channel biospecific
digital frequency machine. Microstim 100 – single channel utilizing a probe I began
using the Microstim 100 in 1998. This machine utilized a probe
to treat 8 acupuncture points around the eye . 4 points were
located above and 4 below each eye. Each point was treated
for 12 sec. utilizing 4 different frequency settings ( 292 HZ,
30 Hz, 9.1 Hz and 0.3 Hz).
The data from this instrument was
published in my book Microcurrent Stimulation Miracle Eye Cure
2001 and the Townscend Letter (a peer review journal) in October
2002. This machine
only had one channel and only 4 frequencies. It was postulated that the
2 higher frequencies (292 HZ and 30 HZ) reduced inflammation
and the two lower frequencies (9.1 HZ and 0.3HZ) improved cellular
function. This machine delivered generic frequencies that were
not specific to the eye but could be used anywhere in the body.
Treating the eye with the Microstim 100 and Probe
There were several disadvantages to this machine. First was
the cumbersome nature of treating 8 points with a probe around
the eye. Many patients with macular degeneration had difficulty
located these points and treatment was also difficult because
a steady hand and good vision was needed to keep the probe fixed
on these points. The machine also had a current adjust knob.
Patients were instructed to turn up the current until they felt
a tingling then reduce the current until nothing was felt. Many
patients treated their eyes with a much too high current and
because of this the results were very unpredictable. The microstim
100 was later modified into a delivery system with eyeglasses
but this this system still had the limitation of the current
adjust and unpredictable delivery of current.
I had the pleasure of treating Sam Snead the late professional
golfer with the Microstim 100 in Feb 2002. In exchange for 4
days of treatment Mr Snead gave me a few golf lessons. What else
did he tell me about my swing? “Dr. Kondrot I would suggest
cutting back over the next year and then QUIT!!” OMCS unit with two channel glasses
OMCS Unit with Glasses
Treatment with the OMCS
My research led to the investigation of a 2 channel machine.
2 separate channels wiht a frequency off set by 0.7 HZ would
delivery a more broad spectrum effect and have a greater therapeutic
effect . This machine had the advantage of a fixed current at
100 microamps regardless of the resistence present as the current
passed into the body. This machine was developed to the have
the following frequencies with a 0.7 HZ off set.
Off Set Frequencies in the OMCS
292/ 292.7 HZ
30/30.7 HZ
9.1/ 9.8 HZ
0.3/ 1.0 HZ The glasses were discontinued because of manufacturing problems
and problems with delivering a consistant current into the eye.
This machine had a distinct advantage of the safety of the fixed
current and broader action of the dual channel delivery system. Two channel biospecific digital frequency machine

The Home Unit with gloves
Through the brilliant work of Ning Wu and his team of electrical
engineers we have developed the first home programmable microcurrent
machine. This machine has 5 specific programs which can be customized
for each patient. Programs are designed not only to treat the
eye but also to detoxify the body, reduce stress and to treat
other physical problems.
Current is delivered by using sliver meshed gloves that are wrapped in a damp
washcloth. This delivery system has demonstrated to deliver a consistent microcurrent
energy into the eye. The gloves and washcloths also add the versitility to
be used in detox and body programs. A new technique called Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM)
has produced a dramatic improvement in treatment outcomes of
macular degeneration. Instead of using basic generic frequencies
which have a low level affect on the diseased eye tissue we now
can use frequencies specific to the retinal tissue and the pathology.
The energy is driven into the area needed for tissue repair.
The roots of Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) date back
to the early 1900's from Dr. Albert Abrams, who was the first
physician to use calibrated instruments capable of detecting
the radiations of living tissue. Dr. Abrams concluded that all
matter radiates electromagnetic energy and the characteristics
of the radiation depends upon the unique molecular structure.
Modern FSM utilizes hundreds of frequencies within the range
of .01 to 999 Hz with varying intensities of 20 to 600 micro
amps. Each tissue in the body has an individualized frequencies
for example the retina has a frequency of 95 Hz and macula 137
Hz. Each type of pathology also has a frequency. Hemorrhage has
a frequency of 18 and edema is 14. FSM is "frequency specific" because the frequencies
of the tissue and that of the pathology are “matched” with
two frequencies. For example hemorrhage in the macula the FSM
treatment would use 18 Hz and 137 Hz. This coupled frequencies
then matches the exact abnormalities that are present in the
damaged tissue. The desired effect is to neutralize those frequencies
that are in disharmony.
