Without emotion,
man would be nothing but a biological computer.
Love, joy,sorrow, fear, apprehension, anger,satisfaction,

the meaning of human existence.

Better living through
chemistry?
Every twenty-four to thirty-six hours, from 50
to 80 % of adults in the United States and the
United Kingdom swallow a medically prescribed chemical.
In the United States, the volume of the drug business
has grown by a factor of 100 during the current
century; 20,000 tons of asprin are consumed per
year, almost 225 tablets per person. In England
every tenth night of sleep is induced by a hypnotic
drug and 19% of women and 9% of men take a prescrbed
tranquilizer during any one year.
In the United States, central-nervous-system
agents are the fastest growing sector of the pharmaceutical
market, now making up 31% of total sales. Dependence
on prescribed tranquilizers has risen by 290% since
1962, a period during which the per capita consumption
of liquor rose by only 23% and the estimated consumption
of illegal opiates by about 50 percent, leading
Ivan Illich in Medical Nemesis, to note how that
by 1975, "Medical addiction ...had outgrown
all self-chosen or more festive forms of creating
well-being."
Some people take the wrong medication;
others get an old or contaminated batch, and others
a counterfeit; others take medications in dangerous
combinations. Some medications are addictive, others
are devestating emotionally and physically from
their side effects. Every year a million people--that
is 3 to 5% of all hospital admissions --are admitted
primarily because of a negative reaction to medications.
The situation has become especially exacerbated
by the medical profession's propensity to dole
out medication like candy for the slightest sign
of depression, anxiety, or insomnia, helping make
drugs like prozac as chic in the suburbs as crack
is in the inner city. This has led to that plague
of legal drug addiction, documented so well by
Peter Breggin in his definitive study of the topic
in "Toxic Psychiatry"
Well, I do not espouse an extremist position
with regard to psychotropic medication such as
Peter Breggin does but I believe that consumers
should be aware that some of these substances are
very powerful and will benefit people as much as
they are intelligently prescribed and intelligently
taken.
Worse yet, is the subversion of our independence.
We are self-regulating beings in possession of
our own pharmaceutical laboratory which our brain
draws on judiciously on our behalf. An increased
reliance on external drugs interferes with that
self-regulatory process, reducing our ability to
cope --to develop, strengthen, and effectively
employ our own inner resources.
People speak today of being captive of unpleasent
emotional states. The answer to this problem, however,
does not lie exclusively with the development of
better and more efficient drugs. Emotions are in
part products of the chemical soup, and the elaborate
electrical neuro circuitry which make up the working
environment of our brain.
To reclaim control of our life
we have but to learn how to alter that chemical
composition and reorient that circuitry.
CES is a tool to help us achieve that end. As
a similar ethic can ideally and practically guide
pharmaceutical usage, CES offers a unique and viable "bioelectric" alternative.
Personal autonomy and a gain with insight and self
awareness is resultant because the learning of
the intelligent applicatiuon of CES permits individuals
to have an amazing increase in their ability to
experience a positive perception, to in effect
reset the controls of their perception.
CES's primary goal is wellness, defined as peak
emotional, mental, and physical health--a state
of proper alignment --the balanced interplay of
body and mind attained through personal empowerment
rather than dependency. You know that nothing is
good or bad intrinsically, it's more how it is
utilized or misused. So I do not want to really
put down the pharmaceutical industry, but actually
want to extend the options available to people
looking for answers and positive change. Pharmaceuticals
may be used untelligently and wisely, both on the
part of the professional and the patient.
What is homeostasis? Homeostasis can be defined
as the tendency for intrinsic balance within a
system. Application of a therapeutic range of microcurrent
intracranially seems to enhance the homeostasis
of the biological central nervous system. An effect
on one system within the individual will correlative
effects upon other systems within the individual.
Improved mood can be measured. Many times improved
cognitive function can be measured. Improved self
image, and sense of well being can be measured.
An improved sense of locus of control or self determination
can be easily measured. If a tool works it enhances
one's ability to handle or deal with situations
previously that were beyond the range of one's
control
Intelligent choice, what is it? We have the ability
to learn. We have the ability to gain experience.
We have the opportunity to change and grow. We
have the ability be in control of our lives. We
can learn about anything we like.
This researcher wants to acknowledge Delbert
T. Goates, M.D. who was instrumental in many areas
of research during his career, including work with
the CES. He was an exceptional human being who
finished this life earlier this month. He will
be greatly missed.

CES A Unique Non-drug Therapy
CES is a simple treatment employing mild battery-powered
electronic stimulation through clip-on electrodes that
attach to the earlobes or by pre-gelled electrodes placed
behind the ears. Current flow is limited so that the
most a user will experience during the process is a brief
tingling sensation. Its most immediate impact is reduction
of anxiety. For most people, anxiety reduction is experienced
in the course of treatment, but it also may be first
seen hours, or as late as several days after. After a
CES session you are left feeling both alert and relaxed
. Psychologists call this an "alpha state".
The effect differs from pharmaceutical treatments in
that people report feeling that their bodies are lighter
and more relaxed and their mind more alert and clear.
The results are cumulative and lasting.
CES has major implications in a number of areas. In
the war on drugs, it is a formidable new weapon in the
treatment of the symptoms accompanying detoxification
and withdrawal. For those suffering from depression and
anxiety, it means relief with none of the unpleasant
side effects of prescription drugs. For those seeking
nothing more than a good night's sleep, it is an alternative
to habit-forming tranquilizers. For a public increasingly
concerned with the effects of stress on physical health
and emotional well being, it provides a way of addressing
that stress in a safe and effective manner. CES---a treatment
modality whose time has come.
CES has a proven track record as far as safety is
concerned. There are no known negative side effects associated
with its use. It also has a substantial body of research
to support its claims. But because of the pharmaceutical
bias in Western medicine, its deployment has been restricted
and its use limited. It has also been difficult for people
to find information on the topic. It has been challenging
to define easy to understand parameters across traditional
boundaries. This website seeks to be the definitive site
for dissemination of information on CES and by doing
so, nurture an expanded dialogue on health and wellness.

Q. What is depression?
Being clinically depressed is very different from the
down type of feeling that all people experience from
time to time. Occasional feelings of sadness are a normal
part of life, and it is that such feelings are often
colloquially referred to as "depression." In
clinical depression, such feelings are out of proportion
to any external causes. There are things in everyone's
life that are possible causes of sadness, but people
who are not depressed manage to cope with these things
without becoming incapacitated.
As one might expect, depression can present itself
as feeling sad or "having the blues". However,
sadness may not always be the dominant feeling of a depressed
person. Depression can also be experienced as a numb
or empty feeling, or perhaps no awareness of feeling
at all. A depressed person may experience a noticeable
loss in their ability to feel pleasure about anything.
Depression, as viewed by psychiatrists, is an illness
in which a person experiences a marked change in their
mood and in the way they view themselves and the world.
Depression as a significant depressive disorder ranges
from short in duration and mild to long term and very
severe, even life threatening.
What causes depression?
Despite 35 years
of research antidepressant drugs still
cause adverse side effects
Depression
is big business
It takes about 10 years and costs around £350 million pounds
to develop a new drug
Many drugs fail at some stage in their testing phase
The patent on a new drug only lasts 10 years - during this time development
costs must be recouped and profit earned for new drug developments
Prozac launched in 1987, and Seroxat available from 1998, earn their
manufacturers about one billion pounds per year.
It costs the NHS £20 to treat a patient for one month with Prozac
or Seroxat
World-wide, 37 million patients have received Prozac since its launch
in 1987
Once out of patent, generic forms of the drug can be sold at a fraction
of the cost of the original because the manufacturer does not have
to bear the development and testing costs
It costs the NHS £1 to treat a patient for one month with a generic
antidepressant
The global market for antidepressants was worth $10 billion in 1998
and it is estimated that it will grow 20% each year to 2006. The Japanese
consume very few antidepressants.
Reboxetine, the first selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor is
being tipped as the next big money spinner
It is conceivable that in the future antidepressants will be available
'over-the-counter' i.e. without prescription.

BENZODIAZEPINES:
HOW THEY WORK
AND HOW TO WITHDRAW
|
The group of symptoms which doctors and therapists
use to diagnose depression ("depressive symptoms"),
which includes the important proviso that the symptoms
have manifested for more than a few weeks and that they
are interfering with normal life, are the result of an
alteration in brain chemistry. This alteration is similar
to temporary, normal variations in brain chemistry which
can be triggered by illness, stress, frustration, or
grief, but it differs in that it is self-sustaining and
does not resolve itself upon removal of such triggering
events (if any such trigger can be found at all, which
is not always the case.)
|
|
Depression and Stress Hormones
The most common drugs used today to treat depression focus their attention
on the brain chemicals, serotonin and norepinephrine. Increasing
evidence, however, now indicates that another player in the brain,
corticotropin-releasing factor, should share the spolight. Studies
have shown that abnormally high activity of this stress hormone is
present in many cases of depression. Furthermore, research shows
that drugs that block the action of corticotropin-releasing factor
have the potential to lift the dismally low spirits of the depressed.
The new insights help explain how depression arises and may lead
to new options for prevention and treatment. |
Instead, the alteration continues, producing depressive
symptoms and through those symptoms, enormous new stresses
on the person: unhappiness, sleep disorders, lack of
concentration, difficulty in doing one's job, inability
to care for one's physical and emotional needs, strain
on existing relationships with friends and family. These
new stresses may be sufficient to act as triggers for
continuing brain chemistry alteration, or they may simply
prevent the resolution of the difficulties which may
have triggered the initial alteration, or both.
The depressive brain chemistry alteration seems to
be self-limiting in most cases: after one to three years,
a more normal chemistry reappears, even without medical
treatment. However, if the alteration is profound enough
to cause suicidal impulses, a majority of untreated depressed
people will in fact attempt suicide, and as many as 17%
will eventually succeed. Therefore, depression must be
thought of as a potentially fatal illness. Friends and
relatives may be deceived by the casual way that profoundly
depressed people speak of suicide or self-mutilation.
They are not casual because they "don't really mean
it"; they are casual because these things seem no
worse than the mental pain they are already suffering.
Any comment such as, "You'd be better off if I were
gone," or "I wish I could just jump out a window," is
the equivalent of a sudden high fever;
SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION
 |
Symptoms of Depression
An estimated one in ten Americans suffer from depression, an illness that
affects both physical and mental well-being. Often chronic in nature,
depression can be triggered by adverse life circumstances or occur
simply "out of the blue." Frequently, a combination of
genetic, psychological and environmental factors contribute to the
onset of depression. |
The most common symptoms are set out below . If these
have been experienced for more than two weeks it is essential
to seek help. People may suffer from two or three of
these symptoms but are unlikely to experience them all.
Feelings of helplessness and hopelessness.
Feeling useless, inadequate, bad.
Self hatred, constant questioning of thoughts and actions, an overwhelming
need for reassurance.
Being vulnerable and "over-sensitive".
Feeling guilty.
A loss of energy and motivation, that makes even the simplest tasks or decisions
seem difficult.
Self harm.
Loss or gain in weight.
Difficulty with getting off to sleep, or (less frequently) an excessive desire
to sleep.
Agitation and restlessness.
Loss of sex drive.
Finding it impossible to concentrate for any length of time, forgetfulness.
A sense of unreality.
Physical aches and pains, sometimes with the fear that you are seriously ill.
In severe depression, these feelings may also include:
Suicidal ideas.
Failure to eat or drink.
Delusions and/or hallucinations.
MORE INFORMATION
Depression is much misunderstood by the public, yet it affects many people
of all ages. It is estimated that one in five people will suffer from depression
at some point in their lives.
Depression is an illness where the feelings of hopelessness and helplessness,
linkled to the inability to concentrate, may make it hard for some people to
carry out normal daily activities.
Depression is an illness with a wide range of physical and psychological symptoms,
which sometimes make it hard to recognise and understand.
Personality may play a part in depression. Although anyone can become depressed
under particular circumstances, some people seem to be more vulnerable than
others. This may be because of things that have happened in childhood, such
as abuse, or because of our individual make up (including body chemistry).
A lot of effective, intelligent and creative people suffer from depression
and yet make an outstanding contribution to life. Often, information about
their depression is only revealed after their death, as people misunderstand
the illness. Amongst such people are Florence Nightingale and Sir Winston Churchill,
who used to call depression his "black dog". Depression can effect
anyone and does not reduce your value as a human being.

.Cranial electro stimulators offer a non-drug therapy
for the treatment of ANXIETY, DEPRESSION and INSOMNIA.
CES has been used in numerous countries around the world
for over 30 years. It involves the application of mild
microcurrent electrical impulses to the head via electrodes
applied behind the ears or by means of ear-clip electrodes
CES should be used under direction of a licensed health care practitioner.
Individual results will vary, but many patients report significant improvement
of their Stress-Related Symptoms over a period of 2 to 3 weeks daily use.
FREQUENCY AND DURATION: Optimal CES treatments are
60 minutes once daily or 30 minutes two times daily for
the first three weeks. In some studies 40 minutes 1 time
per day, five days per week has been found to be adequate.
For chronic conditions many patients find CES is actually
more effective when used every other day. After first
two weeks of daily treatment application may be reduced
to maintenance level ranging from one 20-minute application
every other day to one 20-minute application every three
days. Treatment should not be discontinued as ineffective
until 2 weeks of twice daily applications have been completed.
PRECAUTIONS: Optimally CES treatment should be applied
in early hours after awakening and while in relaxed and
quiet environment. Normally it is best not to use CES
within three hours of bedtime. Exercise caution when
driving or operating machinery for one hour after treatment.
Do not apply electrodes directly over the eyes or the
carotid sinus area (upper side of the neck below the
ear and behind the jaw). Do not sleep during CES treatment
Cranial Electrotherapy, a Profound Alternative
Therapy
 |
ANXIETY & Cranial
Electrotherapy
Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) has
been used as a treatment for anxiety in several
parts of the world for over a quarter of a century.
American medicine has only recently begun to realize
its use as a safe and effective treatment. Studies
show that Cranial Electrotherapy treatment yields
highly significant reductions in anxiety, whether
the patients were in a psychiatric setting, a scholastic
setting, an outpatient setting, or an in-patient
general hospital setting. Further, while many different
kinds of anxiety have been studied, as measured
by the six different psychological measuring instruments
found in these studies, they all responded significantly
to CES treatment.
Less intense or less permanent forms of anxiety - the so-called 'situational
anxiety' in which a person habitually responds to personally threatening
events in his environment with an anxiety reaction - respond to Cranial
Electrotherapy treatments within a week or less. The more permanent forms
of anxiety - the so-called trait anxiety, or that underlying level of
anxiety that a person typically carries with him at all times - require
a longer period of Cranial Electro treatment.
|
.
 |
DEPRESSION
Studies show that reactive depression (that which
results from acute changes in the patients life
situation such as a job change or divorce) is decreased
after 6 days of Cranial Electrotherapy treatment.
More deep seated depression (endogenous) in some
cases required 3 or more weeks of daily treatment.
For this reason, many physicians routinely prescribe
a minimum of 2 weeks to a month of daily Cranial
Electrotherapy treatments in depressed patients,
since it is frequently difficult to gauge the type
or depth of depression with great accuracy.
Since many patients have a 'depression habit' physicians should include
a home CES unit in their treatment plan so that the patient can meet
any new sign of impending depression with effective treatment and thereby
break the behavioral reinforcement chain that has both led to and maintained
the habit. In this way, a maladaptive habit can be effectively controlled
or broken without the use of frequent medications and/or repeated visits
to the physician. Other research has shown that Cranial Electrotherapy,
when used this way is neither habit forming nor addictive. Such patients
use it only when they experience an impending medical necessity.
|
 |
INSOMNIA |
Because Cranial Electrotherapy was originally called
'Electrosleep' in European countries, many earlier American
studies were designed to learn whether or not such small
amounts of electric currents would actually put people
to sleep. That is, just as 50ma of current - called 'electro-anaesthesia'
- put an individual into anesthesia so that surgical
procedures could be performed, 1ma of Cranial Electrotherapy
current was assumed to put them into a normal state of
sleep if 'Electrosleep' worked.
Such studies discovered that while Cranial Electrotherapy does not necessarily "put
a person to sleep", it does accomplish some very therapeutic changes in
the sleep patterns of people who complain of insomnia. The studies below show
that whether measured by the patient's own ratings, psychiatrists ratings or
by electroencephalograph or polygraph recordings before and after Cranial Electrotherapy
treatments, the following effects of CES in insomnia can be expected:
1. Sleep onset latency is reduced. That is, once a person has retired for the
evening, the amount of time it takes him to actually fall asleep is reduced
from one to two hours or more to the more normal twenty minutes or less.
2. The number of awakenings during the night are reduced. That is, while most
insomniacs awaken three or more times during the night and have difficulty
falling asleep again, those treated with Cranial Electrotherapy typically awaken
no more than once or twice following therapy, with most reporting no awakenings.
Furthermore, after awakening, they return to sleep much more promptly than
before.
3. Cranial Electrotherapy treated patients spend more time in stage four sleep
following CES treatments. That is, patients spend more time in the deepest,
most restful stage of sleep than they did prior to Cranial Electrotherapy treatment.
It should be noted that some patients who have deprived themselves of REM sleep
- the stage during which dreaming occurs - by taking drugs or alcohol as a
sleeping aid, sometimes spend the first two or three nights in unusually vivid
dream states when first starting CES treatments. This is considered another
indication of the therapeutic effectiveness of Cranial Electrotherapy in that
persons are known to become increasingly disorganized mentally, some even to
the point of psychotic-like symptoms, when they do not engage in the normal
amount of dreaming.
4. Finally, it was discovered that many patients receiving Cranial Electrotherapy
treatments report feeling more rested when they awaken in the morning following
Cranial Electrotherapy treatments.
Treatment parameters: While some patients begin to respond after the second
or third day of treatment, others do not have their best response with fewer
than 24 days of treatments lasting from 15 minutes to 1 hour. The beneficial
effects have been measured in some experimental groups for as long as two years.
Some people with insomnia have a habitual pattern of responding to situational
stress with an interruption in their sleep patterns. The best results are obtained
when Cranial Electrotherapy is used each time unusual stressors occur in their
life situations that would ordinarily cause poor sleep. The Cranial Electrotherapy
device user is thereby trained over time to expect a good night's sleep no
matter what stressful interruptions occurred in the normal flow of daily life.
Foremost among the treatment problems among chemically
dependent persons is the need to help them through the
psychologically and physically demanding period of withdrawal.
The body reacts to the depressed physical state engendered
by alcohol and other drugs with a rebound stress reaction.
This reaction commonly includes states of extreme anxiety,
depression, and insomnia, for which Cranial Electrotherapy
treatment is known to be effective.
Underlying the addictive state is an insidious and progressive destruction
of normal brain functioning including an often incapacitating memory loss,
inability to process information involving abstract symbols, and other dysfunctions
associated with the organic brain syndrome, and advanced condition which is
known as Korsakoff psychosis.
Studies on the use of Cranial Electrotherapy in chemical dependencies are among
the best controlled and well designed research in the U.S. They indicate that
Cranial Electrotherapy is a highly effective adjunct to methadone withdrawal
in heroin addicts, significantly shortening the time to symptom - free withdrawal
when compared with methadone alone, and significantly lowering withdrawal anxiety
as measured by the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale.
Further, the anxiety and depression accompanying and following withdrawal of
both alcohol and other drugs in polydrug abusers is significantly reduced when
patients receive Cranial Electrotherapy as a post withdrawal treatment.
Most importantly, perhaps, is the finding that Cranial Electrotherapy treatment
halts and significantly reverses brain dysfunction in these patients as measured
on seven different psychological scales of cognitive function, bringing many
such functions back to the level of the pre-addiction state in the majority
of patients studied.
Another problem in the treatment of chemically dependent persons is frequently
recurring 'dry withdrawal' in which the individual suffers withdrawal symptoms
within several weeks, then again in several months. The phrases used to describe
these phenomena are a 'dry drunk' followed by the 'dry withdrawal'. These psychological
states lead to high recidivism rates among these individuals as they return
to treatment after "falling off the wagon".
Cranial Electrotherapy is now thought of as one of the most effective, non-drug
treatments for these periods of withdrawal, and a patient who has a personal
Cranial Electrotherapy unit available should be able to use it to prevent a
full-blown withdrawal reaction at such times. By doing so he can reduce the
need for additional medical treatment in a clinic or hospital setting, and
will be less likely to resort to alcohol because of the discomfort accompanying
these withdrawal states.
