SEROTONIN regulates mood - the work of HM van Praag, SN Young and others over the past 20 years, shows that SEROTONIN, a neurotransmitter (a chemical that carries messages between nerve cells, to and from the brain), plays an important role in the regulation of mood (anti-anxiety, antidepressant), impulse control (inhibits aggression and obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD)), pain control, appetite, body temperature, sleep, the secretion of various hormones and a feeling of calm and well-being. (Note that SEROTONIN can be converted to MELATONIN by the pineal gland).

General electrotherapy health benefits. Used systemically and/or locally at specific problem areas of the body, its effective application has many benefits:
Detoxification | Wellness / Healthy aging | Pain relief |
Relief from insomnia | Immune system restoral | Anti-Inflammatory |
Maximizes cellular energy production | Accelerated tissue /bone /scar healing |
Stress Reduction |
Muscle relaxation / rehabilitation | Increased blood oxygen / circulation |

There are several reasonably affordable electrotherapy devices available for personal use. The following electrotherapies are those that have received a significant amount of positive feedback:
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy |
Beck Protocol |
Rife therapy |
Ozone therapy |
Near Infrared (NIR) class 4 laser therapy |
Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) applies specific frequency patterns to the head area, with the following benefits:
Balances neurotransmitters | Relieves pain | Treats depression |
Substance abuse withdrawal | Relieves insomnia | Relieve stress / anxiety |
Anti-Inflammatory | Fibromyalgia | +++ |
