Cross Currents
by Robert Becker

Microcurrent electro-acupuncture is an effective therapy that uses extremely gentle low-current electric waves (10-600 µA) applied with handheld probes to acupuncture points that open the body’s vital energy circuits to promote health and effectively treat and prevent a variety of disorders . Microcurrent electro-acupuncture is applied using pre-sterilized, disposable, acupuncture needles, or by needle-less methods including self-adhesive electrode pads.

Originally used by the Japanese for healing non-union fractures in the 1940's, modern research shows that microcurrent has a measurable ability to affect cellular physiology and growth including increases in:

• ATP production (500%)
• Protein synthesis (70%)
• Cellular transport (40%)

Microcurrent applied to surgically repaired Achilles tendons heal 30% faster than control groups. Microcurrent has been used to treat anxiety, depression and substance addictions.
