How To Treat Anxiety with Alpha Stim
Anxiety Treatment
Under stress, nerves become facilitated and overreact to signals coming
in. While it might normally take 1000 signals to a single nerve to
cause that nerve to fire, under stress, it might only take 50 or 100
signals to fire. In that case, the threshold for firing is way too
low. People can become more reactive, irritable, fearful, angry, hostile,
or just generally nervous than they would otherwise be if they were
not under stress. Alpha-Stim brings the threshold for firing back
to normal so that people react in a more centered fashion during high-pressure
situations. Using Alpha-Stim CES for as little 20 minutes a day, three
times a week, a person may still be in the stressful situation, but
he or she does not experience it as stress-induced psychological response.
As soon as the cause of the stress decreases, a person begins to automatically
return to an alpha state, even if he or she last used Alpha-Stim CES
36 hours ago. Below are some anxiety-related protocols.
Basic Anxiety Protocol
All suggested protocols are starting points. Because of individual
differences, it may be necessary to vary the duration, current and/or
frequency of treatments. The basic Alpha-Stim CES protocol for anxiety
is to use it for 20 or 60 minutes a day for one week at a comfortable
current level. Not everyone will feel light-headed. If possible, set
Alpha-Stim at “3”. After one week, use it on alternate days or three
times a week until the symptoms reach the desired level. Thereafter,
use Alpha-Stim CES as needed. The level of current used affects the
length of treatment needed. The general rule is if the current level
is “3” or above, 20 minutes is usually sufficient. If the current
is at “2” or below, 60 minutes is usually most effective. If the current
is between “2” and “3” the device can be used for either 20 or 60
minutes depending on the individual’s response to treatment. Based
on individual differences and symptoms to be treated, it is important
that you determine which level of current, time used and frequency
of treatment is most effective for you.
Alpha-Stim has received
endorsements
from a variety of professionals. Over 100
research
articles provide further evidence of its effectiveness.
Practitioners
who use Alpha-Stim are found in private medical and counseling offices,
the
VA , and
Department
of Defense (DOD). It is increasingly embraced by
veterinary
medicine. Practitioners and
patients
who use Alpha-Stim report consistently positive
results
in treating reduced
anxiety,
depression,
insomnia, and
pain.
Pain conditions effectively treated include muscle tension, back, cervical,
arthritis, fibromyalgia, RSD, carpal tunnel, hip/leg/foot, arm/shoulder/hand,
TMJ, myofascial pain. Suffers of migraines and other types of headaches likewise report that Alpha-Stim is
effective. Moreover it is drug-free, easy-to-use and does not leave
them impaired. The treatment protocols for all conditions are straightforward
and easy to follow.
