What if the right
Insomnia Medication...
Wasn't a
Medication at All? 
Insomnia has many causes, and sleep
difficulties can show up in several ways:
-
Laying awake worrying and unable to
fall asleep
-
Not feeling refreshed when you wake
up in the morning
-
Waking up several times during the
night
-
Difficulty getting to sleep
-
Use of caffeine, alcohol and some
medications that cause sleeplessness
Chronic insomnia
can
lead to mental health problems such as
depression, or misuse of alcohol or other medicines
in order to gain sleep.
The Alpha-Stim® treats
depression, anxiety, and insomnia with tiny electrical currents similar to
those found naturally in the body, using a method called cranial
electrotherapy stimulation (CES).
The
Alpha-Stim 100 treats anxiety, depression, and/or insomnia with microcurrent
using a method called cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES).
The Alpha-Stim 100 is well tolerated and very safe in contrast to drugs used
in the treatment of mood disorders, many of which have been proven to have
undesirable side effects and can be addictive.

Indications: Pain, Insomnia
In February 2006, I was diagnosed with a peripheral nerve neuropathy disease
called Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), and
Guillian-Barre Syndrome (GBS) an autoimmune disease that affects peripheral
nerves. I suffer from a residual neurological deficit that causes
paresthesia and pain in most of my joints. I have double vision, extreme
fatigue, tingling in my hands and feet, slurred speech caused by facial
paralysis, stiffness and pain in my upper and lower back makes it difficult
to walk.
I was lucky in finding out about CES and the ALPHA-STIM 100. I do my daily
physical therapy routine using body training machines at a local Gold’s Gym.
A professional body builder was using the ALPHA- STIM 100 for muscle pain. I
was curious about the probes and ear clips connected to this small square
white box. Learning about CES via the Internet I have found vast amount of
research from Europe and the United States and have read about how CES has
helped so many people with pain and other medical problems.
My neurologist, Rehab physician, pain specialist and myself decided that CES
might help my pain and was worth a try, as I was in a great deal of pain
even with all the physical therapy and narcotics. All I can say is that I
wish I would have known about the ALPHA-STIM 100 in February 2006. From the
very beginning the probe therapy helped with my pain. My back pain and joint
pain is a lot better since I have been using the ALPHA STIM 100. My
treatment plan is modeled using the MET; CES Protocol designed by Daniel L.
Kirsch, Ph.D., D.A.A.P.M.
I have been able to reduce my pain medication and have a better quality of
life thanks to the ALPHA-STIM 100. I use to wake up at night from pain. My
insomnia from pain has been pretty much been cured and I no longer need
sleeping pills. Daniel L. Kirsch, Ph.D., D.A.A.P.M., and Electromedical
Products International, Inc., has helped me regain a pain free life.
Thanks for a great product.
