Dr. Nordenstrom successfully treated terminal patients at the prestigious Karolinska Institute in Sweden to prove his theories. Some will not achieve an effect until the morning following treatment. Others may require five to seven or more sessions before the effects will be noticed. If there is no change after ten treatments, and several electrode placement sites have been tried, the use of the Alpha-Stim 100 should be reevaluated. Although a slight tingling sensation is sometimes felt under the electrodes, it is not necessary to feel this in order to achieve results.
Most people feel nothing at all except positive results.
The current should never be raised to a level that is uncomfortable. Alpha-Stim treatment often leaves the user feeling relaxed, but, unlike with drugs, the mind remains alert. Frequently people report an increase in their energy level. For people who are having trouble falling asleep, Alpha-Stim should be used at least three hours before going to bed or the increased alertness may prevent sleep. Findings to date indicate that the Alpha-Stim 100 is an effective treatment with broad applications for a variety of syndromes involving pain.
