Changes in Microcurrent Stimulation for the treatment of eye disease.

I would like to share with you the changes that have taken place with microcurrent and the microcurrent equipment since 1998. 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.

 

Treating Sam Snead	Golf lessons from the master

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

Dr. Kondrot and Ning Wu researching frequencies	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.
