I believe you could use the Alpha stim for this purpose though I'm not sure if steady/slower DC current like the Beck frequency at 4hz might be better in some instances. If you are using the unit anywhere near the brain or eyes I would stick with the Alphastim as it was designed with this in mind (depression and other issues).

Does anyone within earshot know about and/or have experience with the Alpha-Stim Microcurrent Stimulator? Also, there was a discussion prior about using current to "drive" silver ions into a subdermal location to be rid of pesky virus. Could a device like the Alpha-Stim be used for this purpose? The system is 9V battery driven and has an adjustable current range 10 to 600uA. Frequency is 0.5, 1.5, or 100Hz. The electrodes are either hand held metal tiped probes, or self-adhesive (4 or2) for pain. Also has earclip electrodes for anxiety, depression, and/or insomnia. In all applications (except adhesive electrodes) a felt electrode is placed on the metal then wetted with a conductive saline solution. They sell thier own saline solution, of course. If the felt electrodes were wetted with a silver solution would that serve to provide silver ions to ! the local area? Are other ions being zapped into the local area? I have tried this device before and it helps mucho grande for pain. Gracios Maz Yahoo! Mail Bring photos to life! New PhotoMail makes sharing a breeze.
