Re: Re: Use direct current with caution

[Guest guest]

Hi Dotsie. A friend of mine bought one of those. The first really

promoted one commercially. The Blonde lady on TV. Don't remember the

name of the unit. So my friend gets it for her birthday and tries it

and freaks out because it sends a major shock of electricity down her

spine everytime she used it. So she brings it over and has me try it.

And willing guinea pig that I am I try it and Yikolas! Same thing

happened to me. It was not a minor jolt. I am talking a major shock

wave from the face down the back of the neck and one side of the

spine. So she calls them and explains what happened to both of us and

they say to send it back. And that, that happens to some people. Eye

brows raised.

So I think it is an individual thing. Some people are better conductors

and some people are better resistors. Apparently my friend and I are

better conductors.

I know when I did Blood Electrification I had to turn the unit way down

from what the manufacturer was recommending or it was too

uncomfortable. For him it was imperceptable. For me it was painful.

Very cute, Theron. Made me laugh. How goes the ear infection. Still

Thanks and Donna.

Interesting story on Dermal Tone unit Donna. My eye was twitching for the

whole day after I used it.

I did a search on Multi Stim and it seems to be used for the nerves. The

other devices are for exercising the facial muscles.

I'm curious to know why the current in these units used above the neck is

safe and other devices are dangerous.

Chuckle. Well, in my experience, they aren't. Wish they were because

I would love to have some facial firming. Thermage looks promising. If

you are welathy. Smile.

I have used the Silver pulser with one electrode on the top of my head and the

other on my chest several times for 30 minutes.

It was very strong, but nothing wrong, for what I know, happend.

It seems it helped me with a tender feeling in my scalp.

I don't consider it to be risky, and here's why:

I have many, many studies here that used pulsed DC over the eye

sockets and on the forehead and the bony part behind the ears. None

reported interference electrically with the brain. This is probably

because the current follows the path of least resistance, which will

be through blood vessels behind the eyes and under the scalp.

The practice has been used for more than 40 years as CES.

Hope this helps.
