The Basis for Microcurrent Electrical Therapy in Conventional Medical Practice [Abstract]

Mercola, Joseph M. and Kirsch, Daniel L. Journal of Advancement in Medicine, 8(2):107-120, 1995.

The use of electricity in medicine is not new. Clinicians used it over 150 years ago to treat non-unions bone fractures. Electromedicine and nutrition, abandoned early in this century, have been recently revived. Most physicians are unaware of their therapeutic benefits. Electrotherapy, especially microcurrent electrical therapy (MET) is useful for a variety of clinical conditions. Indeed, it may be the best treatment for many pain-related disorders, providing fast relief of symptoms and quickly promoting healing. It has significantly less side effects than drugs in chronic conditions. The more advanced MET devices can often demonstrate effectiveness with a simple two minute office procedure, allowing validity to be quickly assessed.
