switch it while teh electrodes are in the mouth or you can turn down the dial to

zero first then switch and then turn it back up again. that way you dont get the

there is no harm in it at low levels. But its probably bettre to avoid it if its

uncomfortable.

Hi tanguay42,

The godzilla is different than that unit. The godzilla runs in the Millamp range

and that unit on the website runs in the micro amp range. I wolud not rocommend

using the godzilla in the same manner. The godzilla puts out too much current.

there is one or two other companies tha make similar devices nad there is also a

website that tells how to use them and maybe make them yourslef. The main

frequencies they use I have heard of is 10 hz and 15 hz.

This website you have here uses some higher frequencise and I recognize one of

them as a nogier frequency. I do think that these devices seem to be working for

sight improvewment

Take care,

V

Welcome to VISION WORKS, Inc.â€™s September 2004 Newsletter.

MICROCURRENT STIMULATION RESEARCH STUDY

New York Eye and Ear Infirmary is now undergoing an FDA approved study on the

use of Microcurrent Stimulation for Macular Degeneration. This is in Phase

II. The researchers are looking for participants for this study. If you are

interested, you can contact at 212-979-4251.

We will provide more details in next months newsletter.

Editor's Note: We have been strong advocates of using Microcurrent

Stimulation on a daily basis as a way to help manage retinal dystrophies such

as macular

degeneration for over 5 years now, and have 3 research studies with abstracts

on our website showing the potential benefits of this type of therapy.

In evaluating different units, we selected the MicroStim 100i LE for reasons

stated on our website. For more information on existing research studies and

the MicroStim 100li Click Here or go to

OOOPS! thought I was sending this to a friend with cataracts pending.

My sweet son with squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder is going into crisis

I am so sorry to hear this. My prayers are with you and your son.

September 16, 2004

Thanks, V. I put a set of electrodes in my mouth awhile back for sinus and when

I reversed the current, I could see a white flash each time I switched. Crazy.

:-) I haven't done it again...and I don't seem to be as plugged up as before.

I'm not sure, but I would like to attribute it to the Godzilla.
