 The following material explains how Frequency Specific Current works and in which areas of clinical practice it has been demonstrated to be highly effective. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent
What is it and how does it work?
As far back as the early 1900’s, a physician by the name of Dr. Albert Abrams detected radiation in living tissue and concluded that all life emits radiation, which has different amplitudes that can be measured as selective frequencies. Dr. Abrams believed that the different radiations (having a specific frequency) were radio waves and was convinced that electronic equipment could be developed to neutralise and eliminate frequencies, which differ from that of normal healthy tissues.
The modern therapy known as ‘Frequency Specific Microcurrent’ (FSM) utilises hundreds of frequencies within the range of .01 to 999Hz. The strength with which frequencies are delivered ranges in intensity from 20 - 600 micro-amps, which is sub-sensory to nerve firings and has been shown to be clinically effective as it emulates the electrical current used by the cells of our body to communicate with each other.
Modern research has shown that each different type of tissue in the body has an individual vibration or frequency. Each condition has been shown to have an individual frequency, which means that specific conditions for example inflammation and pain etc., can be neutralised in specifically targeted tissue or organs for example muscle or liver.
In other words, our cells communicate with each other and the whole by use of various specific frequencies, in the case of injury or disease, this frequency communication system either breaks down or is impaired. The new incorrect pattern is stored in the tissue or organ concerned, which may explain why the effects of injury, disease and even emotional stress can continue to affect us long after physical healing, has taken place.
Through researching over 12,000 case studies, the frequencies for many diseased states have been catalogued and when these frequencies are targeted at specific tissue and or organs, profound change is made possible. The change in tissue/organ may be instant or may require successive sessions, depending on the level of tissue/organ disruption, the individual level of hydration and other supportive factors such as nutrition and environment.
Much as ice needs the right environment to remain ice, the body needs the correct level of water, nutrients and emotional stability in order to regain and maintain true and lasting health. |

One benefit of causing healthy electrical changes at the cellular level is an increase in cellular activity. This enhanced cellular activity causes a 500% increase in ATP production. ATP is the ‘fuel’ your body manufactures for use and / or storage of energy. It also enhances protein synthesis by 70%, amino acid transport by 40 % and increased rate of wound healing, which facilitates regeneration of injured tissue, increased lymphatic flow and pain mediated responses.
This enhanced cellular activity allows the cells to dump stored toxins into the bloodstream; toxins that may have been accumulating over years. Therefore, FSM therapy may be extremely beneficial during detoxification programs and may be enhanced and side effects reduced by taking antioxidants and liver support supplements immediately after treatment. Also ensure 4 large glasses of water are consumed within 2 hours following treatment.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent has been extremely useful in conditions such as:
- Pain management Scar tissue
- Trauma - injuries Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Immune dysfunction TMJ dysfunction
- Tendon and Ligament repair Wrinkles
- Cellulite Weight loss
- Allergies and Eczema Fibromyalgia
- Colds and Flu Hormonal imbalances
- Infertility
- Dysfunctional organs Reflux and Heartburn
- Constipation - Diarrhoea Fractures
- Nerve root pain - sciatica Emotional stress
- Psoriasis Oedema - Lymphatic drainage
We use the FSM to treat these conditions and many more.
As a natural health practitioner I have worked with FSM for over 4 years, during which time I have witnessed the remarkable results, which FSM can deliver.
Case study 1:
Patient presenting with - Kidney Stones
Experiencing pain and low energy.
Repeated surgery and lithotripsy to remove stones.
Treatment with FSM - Reduce Inflammation
Breakdown mineral deposits
Restore normal secretions and vitality specific to kidney
Patient reported - Greater vitality and energy with virtually no pain after 6 weekly treatments
This change was subtle, and patient remains symptom free for the past 18 months.
Cast study 2:
Patient presenting with - Bulging discs L5 S1
Experiencing extreme lower back and sciatic nerve pain with severe muscle spasms.
Having difficulty with sleeping, walking and sitting.
Treatment with FSM - Reduce muscle spasms, inflammation and pain in muscle, nerve and discs L5-S1.
Patient reported - Sudden decrease in painful symptoms and a feeling that the lower back had just slipped back into place. This patient was treated twice daily for 3 consecutive days and is now on a monthly maintenance program.
Case study 3:
Patient presenting with – Shingles
Experiencing painful blisters over the buttocks and down the nerve pathway into the foot.
Having difficulty walking, sleeping, bathing and wearing clothes
Described the pain as ‘ being eaten by fire ants’
Treatment with FSM - Frequency specific to ‘Shingles Virus’ and peripheral nerve pain. Treatment duration was 4 consecutive days at 1 hour treatment blocks.
Patient reported - Noticeable reduction in pain during the first treatment, by day 4 the blisters had disappeared and patient was greatly relieved to be free from the debilitating pain. Treatment was continued on a weekly basis to deal with the emotional, stress and immune components.
Patient is now free of symptoms and continues treatment on a maintenance monthly
basis.
I have treated many disorders with great success.
Patient Information
Frequency Specific Microcurrent
Some of the most commonly asked questions concerning procedure:
How does it work:
Your body seems to use the Microcurrent energy to increase its own energy production. Microcurrent increases the production of ATP, which is your own chemical energy, by up to 500%. It also increases protein synthesis and waste product removal.
Why does the practitioner change frequencies on the device:
Specific frequencies seem to do specific things to the muscles and other tissues. Observation shows that the tissues will soften and become less painful when a correct frequency is selected. This softening and pain relief that comes with it seems to be long lasting and in some cases permanent.
Why are black graphite/vinyl gloves used:
The graphite gloves conduct the current and frequencies from the device to your body. Where necessary, this allows the practitioner to feel and be able to direct the current exactly where it is needed. Gloves need to be wet to conduct the current. Dryness can cause an irritating prickly feeling.
What are the pads used for:
The pads are a more specific way of delivering the current to your body, as they remain in the one fixed position throughout the treatment procedure.
What are the side effects:
Microcurrent affects changes in living tissues, removing long stored waste products, whilst increasing cellular metabolism so quickly, that there is often a detoxification reaction after treatment. Some people experience a similar reaction after a massage but the reaction after Microcurrent is stronger, because it works at a deeper cellular level. The side effects can include nausea, fatigue, drowsiness, a temporary increase in pain and a flu-like feeling; these side effects usually start about 90 minutes after treatment and can last from 4 - 24 hours.
What can I do about the side effects:
Your practitioner may give you some supplements to help your liver detoxification pathways deal with the by-products from the specific tissues/organs being treated. You will be required to drink water (4 large glasses) in the two hours following treatment. If you feel the side effects returning, drink more water, take additional supplements and symptoms should pass within 20 minutes time.
Why do I need to drink water:
If you are well hydrated prior to treatment, your cells will be able to conduct the frequencies more efficiently. This will enhance your treatment and will also help with the removal of waste and toxins, which are a possible side effect of treatment. It is recommended that you consume 2.5 litres a day prior to your FSM treatment.
Do the benefits last:
Every patient responds differently, about 60 – 80% of the changes created in one-treatment lasts until the next treatment, about 4 – 7 days. This depends largely on factors such as proper nutrition, adequate hydration and a stress free relaxed environment to support the changes. If your body lacks the ability to hold the new pattern, it means that your system is extremely weak or the stress pattern is extremely strong and will require further treatments for permanent change to occur.
Is there any risk:
Generally there is no risk involved with this form of treatment, however, there is a risk category, and the current should not be used directly through the brain or eyes and not through a pregnant uterus or persons with pacemakers and spinal cord injury. If you have any of these as mentioned, please inform your practitioner.
It is recommended that you be relaxed, drink your quota of water and enjoy the relief you can receive from FSM therapy.
