The Alpha-Stim SCSStressed?The Alpha-Stim SCSTo control anxiety, depression, and/or insomnia without drugs in just 20 minutes every other day. Use it while reading, working at your desk, or watching TV! So simple to use it’s as easy as 1,2,3The Alpha-Stim SCS treats anxiety, depression, and/or insomnia with tiny electrical currents similar to those found naturally in the body, using a method called cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES). The treatment is simple. The current is applied by easy-to-use clip electrodes that attach to your ear lobes.
What does it feel like?You may feel a slight tingling sensation under the electrodes, but it is not necessary to feel this in order to achieve results. Most people feel nothing at all except positive results. How can the Alpha-Stim SCS help?The Alpha-Stim SCS empowers you to control your anxiety, depression, and/or insomnia. Used just 20 to 60 minutes every day, every other day, or on an as-needed basis, it can help induce a relaxed state and enable the user to focus attention on the task at hand. The Alpha-Stim SCS is well tolerated and very safe in contrast to drugs, many of which have been proven to have undesirable side effects and can be addictive. The Alpha-Stim SCS leaves the mind alert. The person undergoing CES treatment will often report a pleasant, relaxed feeling of well-being. Anxiety reduction is usually experienced during treatment, but may be seen hours later, or even the day after treatment. Depression and insomnia control is generally experienced after one to two weeks of daily treatment. Maintenance of a relaxed, yet alert state is generally achieved with treatments three times per week. As a result, the Alpha-Stim SCS is suitable for clinical or home use. What scientific research has been conducted?At present, there are over 125 research studies on CES in humans and 29 experimental animal studies. The overwhelming majority of the scientific research is extremely positive. No significant lasting side effects have been reported. Harvard University School of Public Health, Department of Health Policy and Management found: "The meta-analysis of anxiety showed CES to be significantly more effective than sham (P<.05)."

An additional perspective by Dr. Ray B. Smith. American Journal of
Pain Management, 11(2):62-66, 2001. “This is the way we’re supposed to be all the time”*Michael Hutchison [CES] sounded like something both interesting and desirable
to me, which is why I was sitting there beside the Alpha-Stim with
those electrodes clamped to my earlobes... The machine was turned
on, and I felt a tingling sensation of tiny pinpricks in my earlobes,
as a few microamps of 0.5 Hz passed into my brain... the shift in
consciousness was quick and unmistakable. My body immediately felt
heavier, as if I was sinking down into myself. I realized I was becoming
extremely relaxed, and all of a sudden, there I was. It was that feeling
you get when all at once you blink your eyes and realize that you’re
awake. Not that you had literally been sleeping, but you hadn’t
been paying attention to things as carefully as you might, you had
been sleepwalking through your day, and now you’re awake and
things are very, very clear. It was not a feeling of being in some
strange stoned or otherworldly state, but rather a feeling of being
exactly as you should be, at home in yourself a feeling that your
brain was operating correctly, efficiently, clearly.... My body was
no longer heavy, but very light, full of energy. The feeling was one
of openness, clarity, as though I had been wearing sunglasses for
weeks and had suddenly taken them off. It was no big thing. Nothing
special, really, except I couldn’t help but feel that this is
the way were supposed to be all the time. From the book Megabrain
by Michael Hutchison, Ballantine Books, New York, pages 125-126.
