Indications: PTSD, Pain, Anxiety, Insomnia
For many years I suffered from the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I recently discovered Alpha-Stim and the results have been nothing short of amazing. Not only have I experienced relief from anxiety and insomnia but additionally Alpha-Stim treatments reduced or eliminated accompanying physical pain as well.

Indications: Pain
After your two treatments with the Alpha-Stim® , my trigger finger is totally gone now, as of 8pm on Friday. No pain, no catching or limitation of range of motion. I can make a tight fist without any limitations for the first time in 4 months.
After developing a trigger finger in January, I was getting concerned because the pain, weakness and stiffness in my left hand was beginning to interfere with my ability to intubate patients for general anesthesia. You have to have good hands to be an anesthetist.
One surgeon I worked with wanted to inject my hand with steroids, but I declined the offer of because I did not want drugs. I did anesthesia for a trigger finger release this week; the surgeon told the patient that she could not do any gripping for over 6 weeks. If I chose a surgical repair, I would not be able to provide anesthesia for months. I decided the best thing I could do was to pray for a healing. I am grateful for an answer.
In two weeks--after two Alpha-Stim® treatments--I now have no pain, stiffness, or limitations in my hand function. I haven't missed any intubations, even the difficult airways either. Not only did your Alpha-Stim® treatment help me, it helped my patients, and my family because I can continue working to help them too.
WHAT A BLESSING AND ANSWER TO PRAYER!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Indications: Pain, Anxiety, Insomnia, Depression
We have been using the Alpha-Stim® 100 (the CES component) at our hospital for over 18 months, with both residential and acute care patients, ages of 12 and older. We primarily use CES to treat anxiety, depression and
insomnia; however, we have used CES to treat pain, headaches, migraine headaches, and aggressive behaviors. We survey patients pre and post treatment, and have had excellent results and compliments from all patient groups. The majority of patients report feeling a decrease in pain (when pain is a problem), and a reduction in headache pain (when headaches have been present. Most impressive, we have found that the clear majority of patients report feeling calm and relaxed, even after just one treatment. Those with sleep problems generally report sleeping better with Alpha-Stim®. When used daily, we have seen a reduction in aggressive behavior in patients who have an aggression problem. When using the Alpha-Stim® in conjunction with diaphragmatic breathing and thermofeedback, we have had good success helping patients calm down migraine headaches.
The Alpha-Stim® is an excellent treatment tool. Our standard protocol is to combine it with peripheral biofeedback for patients who are learning self-regulation and relaxation skills. Patient use the Alpha-Stim®simultaneously while practicing diaphragmatic breathing and peripheral biofeedback and/or HeartMath. Our patients look forward to coming into our Stress Reduction Clinic and Biofeedback Lab.

I fell about a month ago from the top of a tub on a tile floor and broke my arm/wrist in 3 places! One week later I had surgery, a titanium plate and 8 pins to correct the problem. Needless to say, I felt forced at first to take the narcotics prescribed because the pain was excruciating. However, I had so many side effects (e.g., spaced out, nausea, lack of hunger, unable to drive, anxiety, and the list went on and on). I had to stop taking them, so I could run my business and function. More importantly I wasn't getting better, and it almost impossible to get through the day. I have a new compassion for people in pain. Just trying to do normal daily tasks like opening a bottle of water, washing my hair, preparing food, typing on my computer were literally impossible. Then it dawned on me..HEY, get to the office and bring home my Alpha-Stim®100. I put the AS-trodes on and have been wearing it 24/7 for the last 3 days! What a difference,
Obviously, I am typing this email to you!! The pain has diminished to a zero or a one from a 10 (being the most pain one can have) and I can put my hand on the steering wheel and use it to drive! This seems like a small thing, but when we can't do things we take for granted, it can make life miserable! I am back to seeing my patients in the office and working with the kids at the school. I am so thankful for my Alpha-Stim®100! I have used the SCS many times over the last 8 years with great success and the AS-100 for minor neck/back pain and the occasional headache. I never had unbareble pain in the past, but now I know how many of my patients feel on a daily basis. I have heard people tell me the Alpha-Stim®100 is like a miracle, now I know first hand that this is the truth! |

As you already know, I've been using your Alpha-Stim® since 1982. I orignally purchased it to help my wife and myself for headaches. Needless to say, it became the best investment of my dental practice.
My wife was diagnosed with TMJ problems and the machine gave her so much relief. My patients who had difficulty opening their mouths, were treated with this machine and found that it relaxed the muscles. The ear clips were used to relax patients who had anxiety problems.
My daughter, who had four impacted wisdom teeth removed at once, preferred the machine to pain pills. It cut down the swelling and bruising immediately. Patients with cold sores found the lesions reduced in size the next day and were able to tolerate mild discomfort.
Now that I'm retired, it has become my household miracle machine. It is used for sprains, bruises, headaches, etc. I have not taken Tylenol in years!
Thank you for inventing this machine!
