Alpha-Stim Offers Relief for Medication-Sensitive Individual
Alpha-Stim Testimonials
Many people struggle to find the right treatment for anxiety, insomnia, depression*, or pain. It can take a bit of trial and error. Sometimes it’s a mix of your doctor’s recommendations and doing one’s own research.
And for people who are sensitive to the effects of medication, finding a treatment option that’s safe and effective can be even more challenging.
For Bonnie Rosenthal, the search for the right way to treat her mental health conditions evolved over several years. She first heard of Alpha-Stim in 2012 but did not begin using it until several years later.
*FDA cleared for anxiety, insomnia, and pain only, with approval for depression outside of the United States.
Following Bonnie’s experience with Alpha-Stim, we were pleased to hear this from her:
“In 2012 my holistic [health care] provider recommended Alpha-Stim. While I had helpful conversations with Alpha-Stim employees, I decided not to purchase the device at the time. Five years later I was taking part in a women’s trauma program. I found a full-page ad about Alpha-Stim. It seemed like a message, and I then began to pursue getting a device for myself.
I had many helpful conversations with Alpha-Stim staff, all of whom were helpful and kind in answering questions and allaying my concerns given my other medical issues. Ultimately I bought the Alpha-Stim AID for treatment of my anxiety and depression.
As I attempted to get used to the device I found it difficult to work with the earclips, so I upgraded to the Alpha-Stim M. With the Alpha-Stim M I would be able to utilize different protocols that didn’t have to include the earclips. In addition, I would be able to use the device to treat my pain.
I am severely medication-sensitive. I needed this device to work for me and it did. After some time I knew I could go down to using it a few times per week, [but] I utilize my device every day. I put it on at a current I can tolerate, and I keep it on as long as I desire. It has been helpful and rewarding to see its effectiveness with my depression, anxiety, and pain.
I am satisfied that I made the right decision with Alpha-Stim. I recommend it to many people I know. I am firsthand a very satisfied customer.”
Bonnie discovered firsthand what so many other patients over the years have learned: Alpha-Stim works, and it works well.
Choosing the Right Alpha-Stim Device for You
When Alpha-Stim is used for anxiety, insomnia, and depression, it employs a modality called cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES), delivering an electrical microcurrent to the brain through two earclip electrodes.
To treat pain, Alpha-Stim M delivers microcurrent electrical therapy (MET) through two handheld Smart Probes directly to the site of your pain. The Alpha-Stim M also comes with AS-Trodes™, which adhere to the skin, providing an alternative method for treating pain.
Since Alpha-Stim is not a drug, there is no risk of addiction, overuse, or lasting side effects. This is why for individuals who are medication sensitive, like Bonnie, Alpha-Stim is a good choice. It can safely be used every single day, although many people are able to taper off their treatments over time. Alpha-Stim can also be used safely in conjunction with other medications and treatment modalities if a person wants to continue with a drug-based treatment as well.
