Microcurrent stimulation?

The post below sounds very interesting. I'm surprised that nobody followed up on this. Is there anyone including Elizabeth or Cam that has looked into microcurrent stimulation (MCS)? Susan C. said she did well with it. I found out that it is FDA approved and that insurance will sometimes pay for the device. The Alpha Stim 100 is $800. I also read somewhere that you can build an electrical stimulation unit of your own for about $15.

BTW- Is that Cela Ward?

> If we are looking at ECT, VNS, drugs and combinations there of, look also at Alpha Stim 100. It is microcurrent stimulation (MCS), similar, but different from a TENS unit, which used for chronic pain, has had studies done for depression and in the process of getting approved for use. I used it successfully for a year or so when I was very depressed and nothing worked. I was ready to try anything, and, unlike VNS, which requires an operation to install unit and wrap nerve and later to replace battery, Alpha Stim 100 just clips to your ears. Just thought I'd mention it.
