Badly Wounded HORSE STUDY using MICROCURRENTS + PICTURES!!!

i just discovered this scientific type study applied to a jumping horse which had been seriously injured after falling onto a wooden post...huge gaping wound..see the pictures...large wound was not healing after a month...beck/godzilla type was applied for 3 weeks ..large gaping wound healed.

save the webpage to hard drive.Can be shown to skeptics.

read the specifications of the device and currents applied.

Microcurrent Electrical Therapy Heals a Recalcitrant Wound in a Horse

www.midwestmicrocurrent.com...

see the pictures...very interesting.

NOTE:- YOU WILL NOT SEE THE PICTURES IN FIREFOX FOR SOME REASON..PROBABLY USING SOME OBSCURE PICTURE FORMAT BUT YOU CAN SEE THE PICTURES IN INTERNET EXPLORER 5.5 OR GREATER.

The study could be reposted with corrected pictures.




A two-year old mare sustained a large wound from an injury. After one month of recalcitrant surgical and topical intervention, a course of therapy with a new form of electrical stimulation for healing was undertaken. Alpha-Stim® microcurrent electrical therapy (MET) was delivered around the wound site using pulsed, modified square waves of 100 microamperes at 0.5 Hz continuously around the clock for three weeks. The wound exhibited substantial healing during the treatment. Three months later the horse was completely healed and was able to resume all her normal activities. Possible mechanisms are

That's amazing isn't it.

I know a month went by without using the microcurrent, but i wonder what would have happened to the wound if they had just left it alone?

Probably infection and ulcerated wound.

It kind of reminds me of a 'Model T ford' of Star Trek medical devices!

This article is a bit confusing. Bob beck was pretty well known for the exterior micro current therapy. But there's no mention of him in this article, however someone named becker is being mentioned, quite a coincidence.

I assume this work is more animal orientated. But it's very easy to make your own microcurrent pulser.

Your title sure has a lot of caps in it. Don't be surprised if a mod edits it.

What I don't see is any control. They claim the current shortened the healing time, but if I claim the current lengthened the healing time, there's no way to prove or disprove either claim without any control.

For example, if the animal sustained the same injury to both legs, if they treated one leg and didn't treat the other leg, the untreated leg would be the control. Then they could see how much longer the healing took, if any, on the untreated leg. But their approach doesn't seem too scientific unless I'm missing something. It seems more like a "snake oil" type claim, though even if it's a true effect, they just haven't proven it.

could you only see the pictures in IE or could you see them in firefox also?


The most important thing in this study:-

elimination of placebo effect due to it being an animal.


wound did not heal for a month.


wound healed after 3 weeks continuous application.


question is if a person has INTERNAL INJURIES OR WOUNDS OR ILLNESS could that condition be healed in a similar manner...?

examples:-

irritable bowel...perforated bowel...persistent internal bleeding.
infection, stomach ulcers..bleeding in stomach...varicose veins...etc..etc..

the device uses very low currents.

most scientific studies show the lower the current the more beneficial but longer application times.

range 1 nano amp to 50 microamps = 0.000000001 to 0.000050 amps

using conductive foam pads and resistors in series to lower the current further this could be used for various conditions.

i can't use it on myself a i am not ill.

the device seems very easy to make.

in fact some studies show using direct microcurrents of less then 0.00001 amps could be even more beneficial....

just a 1.5 volt battery through 1 mega ohm resistor and conductive foam pads...

any sick person here wanting to experiment?

If controlled micro current can heal the Injury of the Horse, I wonder what all the signals in the Air , such as Radio waves, TV signals, wireless data transfers etc; is doing to the health of Human. Also the Electricians in the Industry whose job it is to go in control rooms for repairs etc. What is the effect of all those uncontrolled signals. I remember a fellow on the program "Believe it or not" had a pyramid shape cap that he swore by it that the cap helped him enhance his sex life. He attributed all that to the magic of pyramid but Physics tell me that it had to be to protect his head from stray signals in the Air.

There's a world of a difference between 1 Hz and 1 GIGA Hz. When you reach that high of a range you start touching upon the natural vibration of molecules which as you know with microwaves can heat up things (water) pretty nicely.

The micro currents mentioned above don't interfere with the vibration of organisms but rather with their static potential.

That's assuming we live in a world with no corruption where honesty and truth is at the fore front. Seeing we live in the opposite of that I wouldn't count on it. Either you break a sweat and try to convince yourself, or you just pretend you never read this knowledge. That's the kind of world we live in.

The research was also reported in the March 30, 1991 issue of Science News: "William D. Lyman and his colleagues found that exposure to 50 to 100 microamperes of electricity—comparable to that produced by a cardiac pacemaker—reduced the infectivity of the AIDS virus (HIV) by 50 to 95 percent. Their experiments, described March 14 in Washington, D.C., at the First Inter–national Symposium on Combination Therapies, showed that the shocked viruses lost the ability to make an enzyme crucial to their reproduction, and could no longer cause the white cells to clump together—two key signs of virus infection." The researchers anticipated a microcurrent device would be developed for implant or that a dialysis approach would be used with microcurrents applied as blood was circulated outside of the body. William Lyman was also interviewed on Quirks and Quarks, a Canadian network radio program on March 30, 1991 about their promising research. Despite the fact they had found an inexpensive way to cleanse blood, their research was dropped. US Patent #5,188,738 filed in 1993 stands as a sole source for evidence of their research. Such is the politics of health at present. Bob Beck’s genius found a simple way to apply these same microcurrents to blood without invading the body. He developed a system to place electrodes over the radial and ulner arteries on the wrist.

Interestingly it says that healing can be sped up or stopped completely depending on the orientation.
