Ondamed and Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) Energy Therapies
Ondamed “A Better Way to Get Better”.
Over the past fifteen or twenty years, a quiet medical revolution has been brewing in the area called energy medicine. Research has been going on in medical schools and research establishment in the US and around the world, especially Japan, Germany and Australia. While at first a lot of the energy medicine data seems very cool to put it mildly in fact, the studies have been done by sober scientists at prestigious institutions, and seem to have stood the test of time. Data is data.
In a nutshell, what scientists are doing is discovering that the chemistry of life is organized and operated by coherent energy transmissions, at the cellular level and at the molecular level. As a Catholic, I think scientists are rediscovering the soul, or at least the role of the spirit in sustaining life. Others of different religious bents interpret these discoveries to mean scientists are describing the electromagnetic energy forces which underlie all of life. Whichever of our interpretations is correct, there is a lot of science behind it , and it is becoming clinically useful. It will become even more useful in the future.
We have two machines in our office which work in this area, the Ondamed and Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM).
Ondamed is based on research done by an English electrical engineering professor named Cyril Smith, who spent his career at the University of Salford, England, measuring electronic frequencies of acupuncture points in health and disease. From that, he inferred healthy frequencies for bodily organs, and frequencies associated with illness. Doctors and engineers in Germany developed the Ondamed along these lines, using it to assess health and illness of various organs and disease states, including parasites.
There is considerable recent research on electronic microcurrents which run back and forth on the surfaces of connective tissue, capillaries, bones, etc, which apparently are responsible for a fine tuning of local cellular metabolism. Ondamed appears to measure an overall baseline picking out frequencies of significance to the whole body, which can be used therapeutically to benefit the whole patient, presumably by balancing subtle energies throughout the body. Ondamed has set protocols for specific conditions which sometimes treat the whole body, other times focusing on a local condition, and patient-specific frequencies determined by the patient’s response.
Conditions treated include pain, anxiety, stress, chronic fatigue, nicotine addiction, allergy and more. Improvement is cumulative and usually requires ten to twenty treatments for full effect.
We also offer Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM). Interest in FSM grew out of Becker’s discovery 30+ years ago that broken bones heal more quickly when a microcurrent frequency is applied over the fracture line. Considerable research was done in this area earlier in the century, but the data was largely ignored after the apparent triumph of pharmaceutical medicine. Interest in the old data has been reawakened by Becker’s work, and considerable research has been done with frequencies at many institutions, including NIH.
Over 200 frequency combinations have been identified which produce specific changes (e.g., decrease inflammation, decrease scarring, increase secretions) in specific tissues. (Each type of tissue a ” nerve, artery, tendon, muscle body, joint cartilage, etc” has at least one frequency to which it responds.) Recent animal studies have demonstrated a powerful effect of FSM on serum levels of inflammatory cytokines (messenger chemicals). Clinical studies on humans at NIH have also shown impact on various pain states, especially fibromyalgia.
FSM is registered with FDA as a TENS unit, chiefly for treating pain, but has many other uses which are investigational. FSM is applied by focusing on a specific problem in a specific area of the body. Ondamed, on the other hand, begins with the whole body and focuses on specific areas as suggested by patient response.
