What is Microcurrent Therapy?

Microcurrent therapy is the use of a very gentle current of electricity to cleanse the blood. Despite the fact that:

  1. electricity was used quite extensively as a health therapy in the 19th Century
  2. that many patents have been filed proving the effectiveness of microcurrents for health
  3. that microcurrents are used in the food industry to destroy pathogens; it is still not a mainstream medical tool.

Research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York in 1991 piqued Bob Beck’s interest in microcurrent therapy. This research involved the application of microcurrents to blood in the lab. The microcurrents neutralized the HIV virus … and other pathogens as well.

The research was first announced to the First International Symposium on Combination Therapies on March 14, 1991.

The research was also reported in the March 30, 1991 issue of Science News:

"William D. Lyman and his colleagues found that exposure to 50 to 100 microamperes of electricity—comparable to that produced by a cardiac pacemaker—reduced the infectivity of the AIDS virus (HIV) by 50 to 95 percent. Their experiments, described March 14 in Washington, D.C., at the First Inter–national Symposium on Combination Therapies, showed that the shocked viruses lost the ability to make an enzyme crucial to their reproduction, and could no longer cause the white cells to clump together—two key signs of virus infection."

The researchers anticipated a microcurrent device would be developed for implant or that a dialysis approach would be used with microcurrents applied as blood was circulated outside of the body. William Lyman was also interviewed on Quirks and Quarks, a Canadian network radio program on March 30, 1991 about their promising research. Despite the fact they had found an inexpensive way to cleanse blood, their research was dropped. US Patent #5,188,738 filed in 1993 stands as a sole source for evidence of their research. Such is the politics of health at present.

Bob Beck’s genius found a simple way to apply these same microcurrents to blood without invading the body. He developed a system to place electrodes over the radial and ulner arteries on the wrist.

With the help of SOTA Instruments Inc. this blood electrification unit has been designed as a compact unit that can be worn on the arm or in a pocket while the current is applied through the skin to blood as it flows through the arteries.

The results of a study conducted at the University of Washington are rather startling and indicate there should be a great upswing in microcurrent research. Researchers tested the microcurrent output of the Zapper on white blood cells and leukemia cells. Keep in mind the Zapper is designed as a frequency unit. To generate frequencies, however, microcurrents are produced—usually minimal. The Zapper output proved safe on white blood cells while the Zapper proved to slow the growth of the leukemia cells in culture. The Zapper output is only 0.14 milliamp of a low-intensity time-varying electric current. This is much less than units used in The Beck Protocol.

Microcurrents are produced when frequencies are generated. The reverse is also true. When generating microcurrents, a frequency is produced. The Silver Pulser is designed as a microcurrent unit but it does emit frequency. The frequency matches that of the earth—1/2 of the Schumann frequency of 7.83 Hz. The above research study indicates microcurrent research on The Silver Pulser and The Magnetic Pulser holds great promise.

Application of gentle microcurrents by electrodes placed on the skin is proving to be a valuable tool to help restore health. SOTA Instruments Inc. is instrumental in promoting clinical research using microcurrents. We will report on their research when results are available.
