Patent ID: 7187977

Claim:
A method for applying microcurrent electrical stimulation to a body, the method comprising the steps of: (a) attaching at least a first electrode in proximity to a specific body part and attaching at least a second electrode on the body at a point away from said specific body part; (b) applying a microcurrent across said first and said second electrode wherein said microcurrent is greater than 900 microampere and less than 1 millampere; (c) using a direct current carrier signal for said microcurrent, said carrier signal frequency from 10,000 Hz up to 20,000 Hz; and (d) modulating said carrier signal on and off at at least first, second and third preset frequencies during at least first, second and third preset time periods, respectively, each of said preset frequencies being lower than said carrier signal frequency, the first preset frequency being higher than the second preset frequency, the second preset frequency being higher than the third preset frequency, the third preset time period being greater than the second preset time period, the second preset time period being greater than the first preset time period, the second preset time period beginning when said first preset time period ends, said third preset time period beginning when said second preset time period ends.
