There are also some doctors who are using microcurrent to treat macular degeneration. I don't know if this really works. Dr. Carol says that it shouldn't be used on the eyes.

Thanks for the info. The second link you provided mentions neutralizing the frequency of injured tissue. I wonder what that means, in terms of physics. Do you have any thoughts about that?

Following is a link I'd posted previously. http://www.transitiontoparenthood.com/janelle/energy/support...
It discusses the role of pulsating magnetic fields in generating electric activity in repairing bone fractures:
"A modern medical technique called pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) is used to treat bone fractures which have failed to heal after several months. A small, battery-operated pulse generator is placed next to the injury for 8-10 hours per day, and produces a magnetic field that induces currents to flow in nearby tissues, and “jumpstarts” a stalled healing process. “The scientific evidence is that PEMF therapy is effective because it conveys ‘information’ that triggers specific repair activities within the body. The currents… mimic the natural electrical activities created within bones during movements. Pulsing magnetic fields initiate a cascade of activities, from the cell membrane to the nucleus and on to the gene level…” (Oschman, 75)"

And it also includes some mention of which frequencies seem to be good for regenerating which tissues:
"Various electrical frequencies are being tested to determine the types of tissue they affect. Sisken and Walker found that 2 Hz is associated with nerve regeneration, 7 Hz with bone growth, 10 Hz with ligament healing, 15, 20, and 72 Hz with stimulation of capillary formation, and 25 and 50 Hz with synergistic effects with nerve growth factor. (Cited at Oschman, 76 and 86)"

And also, re. frequency range and field strength from the hands of healers doing their thing:
"In the 1980’s, Dr. John Zimmerman used a SQUID detector (designed to study human biomagnetic fields) to study fields produced by a Therapeutic Touch practitioner during a healing session in a magnetically shielded room. A biomagnetic field emanated from the practitioner’s hand, pulsing at a variable frequency, ranging from .3 to 30 Hz, with most of the activity in the range of 7-8 Hz. The field was so strong that it was outside of the calibrated range of the SQUID magnetometer, so signal strength could not be quantified.

"A study by Seto in Japan confirmed “a large biomagnetic field emanates from the hands of practitioners of a variety of healing and martial arts techniques, including QiGong, yoga, meditation, Zen, etc. The fields were measured with a simple magnetometer consisting of two 80,000 turn coils and a sensitive amplifier. The fields had a strength of about 10-3 gauss, which is about 1000 times stronger than the strongest human biomagnetic fields (from the heart)… about 1,000,000 times stronger than the fields produced by the brain… As in Zimmerman’s study, the biomagnetic field pulsed with a variable frequency centered around 8-10 Hz.” (Oschman, 79)

"These studies did not document that any clinical healing took place; however, “the evidence shows that practitioners can emit powerful pulsing biomagnetic fields in the same frequency range that biomedical researchers have identified for jump starting healing of soft and hard tissue injuries. This implies that biomagnetism is one form of the elusive Qi...” (Oschman, 80)"

And further, re. frequency of brain waves of healers doing their thing:
"Robert C. Beck has used EEG recordings to study brain wave activity in ‘healers’ from all over the world: psychics, shamans, faith healers, a Hawaiian kahuna, practitioners of wicca, etc. All these healers produced similar brain wave patterns when they were … performing a healing… all healers registered brain wave activity averaging about 7.8-8.0 cycles/second… Beck performed additional studies on some of the subjects and found that during healing moments their brain waves became phase and frequency synchronized with the earth’s geoelectric micropulsations – the Schumann resonance.” (Oschman, 107)"

Note that the above-mentioned frequencies are in a relatively low range, which makes me even more skeptical about claims by some energy healers re. high-frequency energy.

No I don't. I would have to talk to Carolyn about it to ask what it means.

Fibromyalgia is just the tip of the iceberg on treatment protocols. The list of things that microcurrent can be used on is amazing. From recent to long past trauma, viruses, disc and vertabrae problems, heavy meatal detox, the list goes on and on. My doctor sent me to Carolyn for microcurrent when I was having gall bladder problems. She has run current on my liver when I was taking some very nasty drugs. They work with people who are having chemo. One of the other doctors in Carolyn's office treated her father's necropathy with measurable success when he was visiting from out of state.

I wish that I knew more about it but they are very protective of the procedures, protocols, and machines. You have to be lisenced in the health care field to take the seminars or buy a machine. (one loophole that a few people have found is using it to treat animals)

re: healers and high frequency energy.
My feeling on that one is that it is another 'new age' concept. Marketing. Superiority. Gobbly gook. :-))
