"The implications of this work are stunning," said physicist Bob Beck, the expert on electromagnetic fields, long employed as a consultant to the Department of Defense. Beck, a close friend of Meg Patterson, was soon swept into an adventure of discovery. He studied all her research and everything he could uncover in the Defense Department. Working with spectrum analyzers and sophisticated equipment, he came up with a device: the Brain Tuner 5+, which broadcasts the frequencies of the three 'magic' ranges of neurotransmitters—enkephalins, catecholamines, and betaendorphins. He set up the frequencies in bundles. Instead of sounding one for each neurotransmitter separately, he put 256 frequencies together like a resonating chord of music. His device, smaller than a Walkman, runs on a 9–volt battery and is safe. The Brain Tuner has electrodes on a stethoscope–like headset that fit in the hollows behind the ears. Acupuncture points behind the ear effectively circulate electrostimulation on the 'Triple Warmer' Meridian. You wear the device just twenty minutes a day.

Double–blind studies were done at the University of Wisconsin on [CES technology] capabilities to overcome drug–withdrawal symptoms and it did the job. Studies at both Wisconsin and the University of Louisiana showed it could boost IQ from twenty to thirty points. [CES technology] stimulation appears to enhance neural efficiency, researchers stated.

Users report the BT 5+ reduces stress, improves short and long term memory, helps learning, increases energy, improves concentration and reduces pain, anxiety, depression, and sleep requirements.

2. Mega Brain Power

Beth was given anesthesia when she gave birth to her first baby and later found that she had lost part of her memory. She was forced to give up her job in an aerospace plant. Years later a friend gave her a small cranial electrostimulation (CES) device and she began using it. "Almost overnight," she said, "all my memories started coming back, including everyone's telephone extensions at the plant. It was uncanny—all these old extension numbers of people I hadn't thought of in years."

This story, told to me by researcher Bob Beck, Ph.D., provides graphic evidence of a key fact: We have the electric–powered brains. Each of the billions of neurons in our brains is a tiny electrical generator, as complex as a small computer, firing an electrical signal that triggers the release of various neurochemicals and links it with thousands of other neurons."

The Brain Tuner (BT-6) was devised by Dr. Bob Beck. It uses a complex waveform that, according to Beck, produces over 250 frequency harmonics simultaneously—"all known beneficial frequencies for the natural stimulation of the brain's neurotransmitters." …

Since addiction, withdrawal, and anhedonia are the result of insufficient levels of certain brain chemicals, or undeveloped pleasure centers and pleasure pathways, the most direct way of eliminating them is to restore optimal levels of the brain chemicals, to stimulate the pleasure centers and pleasure pathways. One of the most exciting breakthroughs in the treatment of addiction has been the discovery that stimulating the brain with a minuscule electrical current (cranial electrostimulation, or CES) can cause the brain quickly to pour out large quantities of the neurochemicals that have been suppressed by addictive substances.

"From time to time he has problems, you know, like forgetting things. And I tell him, Dad, you're getting senile – you need to do the Brain Tuner, and honestly, he'll do the Brain Tuner and it's sharpened him up. … In the past since he's had his surgery, with all of the medications and everything, it really affected his memory. But we just get that little Brain Tuner out and he does a few days of that and I can tell the difference, actually, after one treatment." Lee Bueno-Aguer referring to her 92 year old father, Vern Hurt, Idaho, USA

As electrotherapy researcher Bob Beck described it to me, this was originally discovered when scientists analyzed the brains of rats that had been addicted to opiates: The rats that were addicted had been getting so much opiate that the little endorphin factories in the brain would shut down and say, "Look, our body's got too much of this. Quit manufacturing it." And it would take anywhere from a week to three weeks before their rats' brains would begin manufacturing beta–endorphin again. Whereas in the brains of the control rats that had never been addicted, you would find the normal, expected levels of beta–endorphin. And then they would take a third group of addicted rats, cold turkey cut them off of the heroin, clip little electrodes to their ears, and within 20 minutes of electrical stimulation … the rat brain would start showing that the endorphin production had started up again. So, those rats wouldn't go through withdrawal symptoms!

This evidence quickly led to the use of CES in the treatment of humans. …

If the therapist relaxes into the state of consciousness typical of those who practice meditation, therapeutic touch and QiGong, and other methods, it is likely that his or her brain waves will, from time to time, become entrained with the micropulsations of the earth's field. If the patient is also relaxed, both therapist and patient may become entrained with the earth's field.

There is remarkable documentation for this concept. In 1969, Robert C. Beck began a decade of research on the brain wave activity of 'healers' from a wide variety of subcultures around the world (Beck 1986). Beck recorded their electrical brain waves with an electroencephalograph (EEG). All the healers produced similar brain wave patterns when they were in their 'altered state' and performing a 'healing'. Whatever their beliefs and customs were, all healers registered brain wave activity averaging about 7.8–8.0 cycles/second while they were in their 'healing' state. Beck studied exceptional individuals who were famous or who had developed reputations as healers, psychics, shamans or dowsers. …

Beck performed additional studies on some of the subjects and found that during the healing moments their brain waves became phase and frequency synchronized with the earth's geoelectric micropulsations—the Schumann resonance.
