The F.D.A. granted approval on November23, 1999 for microcurrent frequency therapy.Approval is for Fibromyalgia andLymphedema. (# 510 K 1993823) Since theapproval was granted, procedures andprotocols that were developed by varioushealth care providers have been developed.The therapy application is easy to learn andeasy to teach. The therapy treats a wide rangeof "medical conditions" that with microcurrenttherapy now have solutions. It is astoundingto watch many Scoliosis conditions reverse inone treatment. (See Medical Indications List).How Microcurrent Frequency Therapyworks.• Everything in the universe has an electrical

charge.• An electrical charge moves and emits a

frequency.• The more complex the organism the more

complex the frequencies• The frequencies of the human body have

been identified and duplicated.• Frequencies are placed in programs that

mimic the body's use of them in a state ofhealth.

• All the programs are based on Kinesiologyand incorporate the meridian energieswithin the programs

• These programs are placed on amicrochip.

• A battery powered miniature computerruns the programs.

• When normal frequencies are applied tothe body, the body returns to its normalconditions.

• Our programs are based upon the natural

electrical system of the body and how thebody uses them in a state of balance orhealth.

Research

The wide range of research on the Internet andpublications ~makes it easy to get lost as towhat microcurrent treats. Anything that cango "out of sync" can be corrected byintroduction of the proper frequencies.Research has primarily been done onmicrocurrent alone. Microcurrent being theminute electrical charge delivered to the body.Microcurrent Frequency .uses theMicrocurrent to deliver the properfrequency to the body to "normalize" theout-of-balance condition that exists, thusbringing that condition back into "normalfrequencies" or balance that we call health.Research reflects this in its wide range ofinquiry and evidence.Simple OperationThere are several professional units that haveup to 64 programs. Each health specialty hasits own "scope of practice" and is thedetermining factor of the programs that areavailable to the practitioner.

The programs are segregated into Modes ofoperation, such as Medical mode, with subcategories within this mode. There is aSkin mode, Muscle mode, Psychologicalmode, etc.A button is pushed to tum the computer "On"

healthy normal trapezious muscle begins torun.Application

Probes are used for small or intricatemuscles, such as facial muscles, fingers orknees.

Gloves are used to apply the frequencies toolarge areas of treatment like back and legmuscles.Pads are used for general application as incoughs or specific painful areasWater immersion is effective for wholeareas like arthritic hands or feet. The entirebody can be immersed in a bathtub for wholebody treatment.TherapyIt is safe. There can be no adverse side effectsbecause the only thing being applied is thefrequency that is "normal" to the body. Thereis no sensation. Microcurrent is Subsensoryor below the bodies ability to feel the minuteamount of electrical charge used to deli ver thefrequencies. There is no interference withdrugs or other therapies. Treatment is alwayslocal. There is no need to treat the entire bodyfor pain or other conditions such as in drugtherapy. There is immediate response duringtreatment. The therapist watches as muscularcondition change. It is effective. The bodyresponds to its own frequencies and simplyretums to normal conditions. No other therapyin history can achieve the results obtained withmicrocurrent frequency.

One of the primary objectives withmicrocurrent therapy is structural integrity.There are 330 pairs of muscles of the bodythat work together. When muscles are flaccid,loose, out of tone or lost flexibility due tostress or strain, then other musclescompensate the work of the non-functioningmuscles. Pain is experienced primarily in themuscles of the body. When the muscles areall working properly, the bones are inalignment, and the posture is perfect, there islittle else to cause pain in the body other thanorgans. Procedures are followed to align theentire body in as few as three sessions oftreatment. To see it is to believe it. Peoplecannot truly understand what they have neverexperienced. It is a thrill to watch as muscles

move to correct tension and position when thefrequencies are applied to origin and insertion.Kinesiology Invited

Microcurrent Frequency Computers contractsthe Northwest Institute of Natural Therapiesfor training of all health care professionals thatpurchase this equipment. This is the companythat sells the medical application programs fortraining of health care professionals. ThisInstitute provides the certified teachers. Thebilling codes and the training of one personare included with the purchase of eachprofessional medical unit. Since all theprograms are based on Kinesiology, and thebasis of Kinesiology is required to apply thetherapies, it is natural that the Kinesiologyprofession is one of the first places thesefuture teachers would be recruited.Kinesiology practitioners and teachers areinvited to attend a "hands-on" workshop atthis year's conference to learn and experiencethis new technology. There is activerecruiting among interested Kinesiologytherapists for training to become the teachersthat will bring this therapy to all the variousspecialties of the medical professionnationwide. It is a general assumption that thevarious health care will train this new therapyin their schools as an elective or postgraduatecourse. In this beginning phase, there have tobe teachers that teach the teachers in allaspects of this technology.The company holds over 150 patents andmany copyrights to the software and trainingprograms. This is exciting; pioneeringtherapy is changing rapidly as healthcareprofessionals encounter their patientsastounding results. Doctors are inquiring intoavailability to their clinics and hospitals.Teachers are needed in all parts of the countryto provide this training to the various healthcare specialties. You will want to have a firsthand look at this exciting new therapy. At thiswriting there is only one company that offersthis powerful combination of rnicrocurrent andnormal body frequencies. There are newcompanies in the marketing preparation phasein microcurrent therapy and they will needqualified teachers. The Kinesiologyprofession can at this juncture position itself tobecome the experts in this new therapy andbuild whole new careers in muscle balance.

IncomeThe average patient has a series of threesessions of therapy. The person providing thetherapy sessions conducts the sales of homeunits for long term home care of the patient orclient. Rentals of the home units are alsoprovided in the clinic for patients and clientsthat cannot or do not purchase the home units.Teachers of the therapy are paid on anindividual basis for each person they train.Research InformationTyping microcurrentresearch easily accessesInternet research. eurol for Europe,rusekussia, swe=sweden, etc. Keep in mindthat addition of the normal frequencies of thebody to basic microcurrent therapy increasesefficacy many times versus microcurrentalone.
