Frequently Asked Questions

It is particularly useful if FSM is used as soon as possible after an acute new injury in terms of reducing inflammation, pain and enhancing speed and quality of recovery.

It is also particularly useful if used in first four hour window immediately post surgery in terms of reducing inflammation, pain and enhancing speed and quality of recovery. (Certain frequencies for breaking down scar tissue should not be used within the first 6 weeks.)

Microcurrent devices are approved in the category of TENS devices by the FDA. They have been issued with FSA 510K certificates for uses as discussed.

We use FSM machines sold by Precision distribution in the US and by Timewaver in Germany. The US machines run off 9v or 1.5 v batteries whilst the Timewaver device runs from mains electricity via converters. Both type of machines run two channels simultaneously. Both the frequency and current can be set independently on each of the two channels. These frequencies are delivered with 3 digit accuracy from 0.1 to 999 H.

Treatment with FSM is non-invasive and painless. The currents used in FSM are so low that the patient often does not feel them. During FSM treatment, patients may notice certain effects, including warmth and a softening of affected tissues.

To treat a patient with FSM, the caregiver first sets the frequencies to be used for that particular condition. In many cases, the frequencies are set at two different levels; for example, one microcurrent channel might be set at 10 Hz, and the second at 40 Hz. The current is most often applied with a moistened towel or with skin patches. It’s very important for the patient to be well hydrated (drink plenty of fluids) before FSM treatment.

Depending on the condition and the patient’s level of pain, the effects of an FSM treatment for pain can last several days or longer. For acute injuries, lasting pain relief can often be achieved.

FSM is contraindicated in several instances. • Pregancy! It should not be used when the patient is pregnant • Pacemakers! • Infection. FSM is contra-indicative if an infection is knowingly present in the body and the patient is not taking antibiotics.

I. Nerve and Spinal Cord Effects: • Reduces inflammation in nerves (40/396) and spinal cord (40/10) • Decreases central sensitization and pain amplification in the spinal cord • Restores normal nerve function and reduces pain signalling • Breaks up nerve adhesions and scar tissue (13/396) 2. Tissue Healing Effects: • Increases ATP production by up to 500% at currents between 10-500 microamps • Increases protein synthesis by 70% • Increases amino acid transport by 40% • Improves blood flow and tissue oxygenation • Reduces inflammation through effects on cytokines and inflammatory mediators • Breaks down scar tissue and adhesions that perpetuate pain 3.. Central Nervous System Effects: • Reduces thalamic pain amplification (40/89) • Improves vagal tone which reduces systemic inflammation • Addresses emotional components of chronic pain (970/various) • Resets pain thresholds and central pain processing 4. Treating Root Causes: • Addresses underlying tissue damage (124/ for torn/broken) • Treats disc, facet, ligament and other structural causes • Reduces inflammation in visceral organs that refer pain • Improves function of compromised tissues The key principles to treating pain with Frequency Specific Microcurrent are: • Using specific frequencies that resonate with different tissues and pathological conditions • Treating both local pain generators and systemic contributors • Addressing multiple aspects of chronic pain simultaneously • Taking a whole-body approach to pain resolution

We work with FSM because it brings relief to so many patients for so many conditions. It is low risk, non-invasive and incredibly effective. Every practice that uses FSM sees an increase in patient flow as one patient who has been helped refers another. Patients who return to their referring doctor with dramatic improvements often generate referrals of new patients from that provider to the FSM practitioner. Every day FSM creates effects and provides relief that is simply not possible with any other modality or any other known treatment. Every day FSM practitioners report results produced with FSM to change patient’s lives. It is an awesome experience. ·       The personal reward and satisfaction of using a modality that can provide such profound relief make FSM practitioners a passionate and happy group. As a group FSM practitioners need to be brighter than the average clinician because the diagnosis has to be correct. ·       FSM started with an observation of a clinical effect. It has continued to prove these effects to be consistent, reproducible, measurable and predictable. FSM practitioners love having a tool that allows them to help patients. We work with FSM because we love it.

Frequency-specific microcurrent (FSM) shares some similarities with bioresonance, but there are also key differences. Here’s a breakdown: Similarities: • Both FSM and bioresonance use the concept of applying specific frequencies to the body for therapeutic purposes. • They both target certain tissues or cells with the applied frequencies. Differences: • Focus: Bioresonance claims to target imbalances in the body’s purported energy fields, while FSM focuses on delivering low-level electrical currents at specific frequencies to potentially influence cellular function. • Scientific Evidence: There’s a lack of strong scientific evidence for bioresonance. FSM has research suggesting potential benefits for pain management and wound healing, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness for various conditions. • Mechanism: The mechanism of action for FSM is theorized to involve influencing cellular processes like ATP production and protein synthesis. Bioresonance lacks a well-defined scientific explanation for how it works. •   Is FSM considered bioresonance? No, FSM isn’t generally considered true bioresonance. While they share the concept of frequencies, FSM uses actual electrical currents and has a more plausible (though still not fully proven) mechanism of action based on cellular processes. Bioresonance deals with the theoretical manipulation of the body’s energy fields

Ultra sound creates ultrasonic vibrations and creates heat by vibrating the water molecules in the tissue. It does not provide current nor does it change ATP status. It provides beneficial results by these mechanisms but it is just completely different than microcurrent.

Microcurrent is approved in the category of TENS devices by the FDA. TENS devices deliver milliamp current and block pain messages that are tying to get up the spine to the brain. Microcurrent delivers subsensory microamperage current, 1000 times less than milli-amperage current, which has been shown in published studies to increase ATP production in tissues.

A lot of people have heard about Royal Raymond rife who used frequencies to treat cancer in the early 1900s. I think it was in the 1930s or so. He used a light microscope and his frequencies were light frequencies and they were between 8000 and 16,000 Hertz. He could tune the light on this microscope and watch it. When he got to a certain light frequency, it would literally cause this bacteria, or cancer cell, or virus to just blow up. So his frequencies are all in the light frequency range. 8000 to 16,000 Hertz. He had hundreds of cancer terminal cancer patients that he had cured with his frequency therapy using these light frequencies. And unfortunately for us, the FDA and the American Medical Association decided they needed to shut him down. They raided his lab one morning, destroyed his equipment, confiscated all his records, and that was the end of that. The rife devices that are out on the markets. Some of them have had access to his list of frequencies. But those frequencies are all between about 8,000 and 16,000 hertz because they were light frequencies when those frequencies are talked about as electrical pulses Rife didn’t use them that way. He used them as light frequencies. So the basic difference between rife and FSM is his frequencies or higher. All the FSM frequencies are below a thousand hertz. I think 988 is the highest frequency we use. And then they run the whole range, one hertz, three hertz, two Hertz, clear up to 970 hertz to 988 hertz. And we use two channels. So when you use two channels, you have a frequency on channel A and a frequency on channel B and in the treatment area where those two frequencies cross the frequencies mix. And so you have the frequency from Channel A and the frequency from B, you have the sum of the two frequencies, and you have the difference between the two frequencies. And quite honestly, we don’t know which part of that field has the therapeutic effect. So theoretically some of those frequency combinations; so if you’re treating 970 hertz on channel A and 783 hertz on channel B, we can get a combination beat frequency in the middle that above a thousand hertz. But the frequency’s themselves are all below a thousand hertz. The other big difference is that we don’t treat cancer with frequency specific microcurrent for several reasons. Number one is that I don’t want to have happen to me what happened to Rife. That’s probably the first thing. But the second thing is that cancer serious. If I use a frequency and correctly and I make your pain worse, it’s just pain. But if we do something inadvertently through ignorance that accidentally make your cancer worse, I don’t have a way to help you get on top of it. So we don’t treat cancer. We can treat the side effects of cancer therapy. There are frequencies that take away the nausea from chemotherapy. We can treat, radiation burns from patients that are getting radiation therapy, and we treat very effectively the scar tissue from radiation therapy. So that’s the biggest difference between FSM and rife is just the range of the frequencies and what we treat with them.

Microcurrent provides electrons and in published studies increases ATP production in cells. Lasers provide photons. I am not aware of any research suggesting that laser treatment increases ATP production. Lasers oscillate at set frequencies and provide beneficial results but usually only provide one frequency at a time instead of the dual frequencies used in FSM treatment. Lasers provide whatever benefits they provide by some other method than frequency specific resonance and ATP enhancement.
