Microcurrent therapy

[psyche100]

I just came across this video:

I don't find this hearsay evidence terribly convincing, but wondering if anyone has experience of microcurrent therapy or the Sana blanket.

I’ve never heard of this before but was curious where they are located. Could not find any address. Do you know? The guy pronounced some words like a Canadian but just a guess

[psyche100 in reply to gaga1958]

No, sorry, I can't see an address either on their website or Facebook page.

I use it all the time and find it very helpful. I like Frequency specific Microcurrent best. There's other out there too. I've also been using photon genius lately and like that too.

"Microcurrent therapy (MC) is a nonpharmacological treatment that may help with cognitive impairment and neuroinflammation. Some studies suggest that MC therapy may also be beneficial for Parkinson's disease (PD).

Explanation

Microcurrent therapy

MC therapy may help with cognitive impairment and neuroinflammation. It may also reduce neuronal damage and neurodegeneration.

Parkinson's disease

Treatments for PD include microcurrent therapy, electroacupuncture, electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, and deep brain stimulation.

Microparticles

Microparticles (MPs) are a microtechnology that may be used to deliver therapeutic molecules for PD. MPs are injected locally into the striatum via stereotactic surgery.

Electroacupuncture

Electroacupuncture may be a safe and effective treatment for PD. It may improve motor function and increase bowel movements.

Deep brain stimulation

Deep brain stimulation involves surgically implanting an electrode into the brain. "

I've been online enough years to have a feeling how this will play out. Someone says it's pure bunkum. Then someone else pops in to say it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. And generally the truth is somewhere in the middle.

I watched the ten minute video three times to help me grasp and remember the concepts. One is micro-currents. I've known about that since taking a course in acupuncture ten years ago. He mentions The Body Electric, a book I read years ago. It describes that acupuncture needles are tiny batteries producing micro-current voltage.

The only thing new was the weighted blanket. And the idea that the blanket pushes energies back into the body and not allowing the energies to dissipate. He's talking to Dr. Laura Christensen, a woman with ever wilder ideas. But all of it makes sense if you're open to listening.

and did you use this therapy? If they said, no charge if it doesn't work, I'd pay triple if it did work. And by work, I mean, noticeable improvement

[ShakingInMyBoots1 in reply to kaypeeoh]

This is so spot on.

Not for anything related to PD. Years past I used acupuncture in my veterinary practice. What I liked about it was that animals don't show a placebo response to things like needles in the head.
