"Endorphins are chemicals, called peptides, that are made
in the body. They have much of the same effect on a person
as opium or morphine. As a result, they actually lower
the feeling of pain in the body and can create a feeling
of bliss or euphoria. They are often created and released
when a person exercises; becomes excited; or even eats
certain foods, such as spicy peppers or chocolate.
Not only are endorphins thought to block
the sensation of pain, but they also work to lower stress
levels and support the immune system. Some studies have
indicated that they can cause certain cells, called natural
killer cells, to be triggered. Once those cells are stimulated,
they work to fight cancer cells. As a result, some researchers
believe that chemicals may be used to lower the likelihood
of developing cancer or to help fight the disease."
Depleted supplies of "feel good" transmitters
means it will be impossible for you to feel happy, upbeat,
motivated or on track. You will feel just the opposite:
A decrease in energy and interest, feelings of worthlessness
and a pervasive sense of helplessness to control the course
of your life.
The majority of your emotions
(and memories) are processed by your brain's limbic
system, which includes
the hypothalamus, the region that handles a range
of functions from breathing and sexual satisfaction
to
hunger and emotional response. The limbic system
is also rich with opioid receptors. When endorphins
reach
the opioid receptors of the highly emotional limbic
system, and -- if everything is working normally
-- you experience pleasure and a sense of satisfaction. |
Certain transmitters, when depleted, may cause you to
be easily agitated or angered, experience mild to severe
anxiety and have sleep problems. You may feel more psychological
and physical pain. These can all be symptoms of neurotransmitter
insufficiency.
Major Neurotransmitters "Feel Good"
The use of electricity
dates back
in scientific history to Mesmer, who tried to use magnetism
for a variety of problems. Allen Child, M.D.,
Assistant Professor of Pharmacy at the University of Texas
at Austin,
suggests that electrical therapies actually date back
to ancient Egypt. Currently acceptable electrical therapies
include the TENS or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
device, which is an acceptable treatment for pain, and
variations on the TENS (FES or fine electrical stimulators
) which are used for treating some stroke patients. Electrical
currents have been experimented with for hard-to-heal
bone
fractures. There are also now brain or cranial TENS devices
(CES) which seem to impact brain chemistry in many significant
ways. Cranial electrical stimulation (CES) devices are
thought to raise alpha waves, raise blood levels of endorphins
and increase conversion of amino acids into the brain’s
neurotransmitters.
The FDA has approved CES devices for
anxiety, depression, insomnia and stress.
Other possible applications of the CES are
menstrual cramping, stiff neck, allergic reactions,
headache, temporal lobe disorders, etc. |
The bioelectrical approach may be useful
to modulate neurotransmitters in the brain such that they
may rebalance the immune system and help with aspects of
all depression and anxiety type symptoms. Patients who
first use the cranial electrical stimulation (CES) device
can often experience benefit in the first 30 minute session.
Often a good marker of its benefits is that it will produce
good relaxation and even improve sleep. For other individuals
an appropriate trial may be concurrent use with amino acids
or antidepressants, which require at least three weeks
to reach their full effect, and sometimes as much as two
months to reach the full benefit.
"Endorphin deficiency is a condition that occurs
when chemicals that are produced naturally by the brain,
called endorphins, are not made in high enough amounts.
This can be because of genetic or acquired reasons.
Endorphins are used by the body as a type of mood and
pain regulator, and they help people feel joy, contentment,
and general well-being. A deficiency causes depression,
chronic unexplained pain, and a low tolerance for pain.
In many instances, low levels are misdiagnosed as depressive
disorders." |
Improved self-esteem

HOW CAN A CES
UNIT HELP ME
CES has shown benefit for a variety of other
conditions. Phobias, closed head injuries, cigarette withdrawal,
bronchial asthma, excess acid secretion by the stomach,
bulimia, and anorexia nervosa all respond to CES. The alpha
state induced by CES may also improve sports performance,plus
learning memory and so much more.
Alpha Brain
Waves
In general, we are accostumed to using the beta
brain rythm. When we diminish the brain rythm to alpha,
we put ourselves in the ideal condition to learn
new information, keep fact, data, perform elaborate tasks,
learn languages, analyse complex situations. Meditation,
relaxation exercises, and activities that enable the sense
of calm, also enable this alpha state.
According to neuroscientists, analysing electroencephalograms
of people submmited to tests in order to research the effect
of decreasing the brain rythm, the attentive relaxation
or the deep relaxation, produce signficant increases in
the levels of beta-endorphin, noroepinephrine and dopamine,
linked to feelings of enlarged mental clarity and formation
of rememberances, and that this effect lasts for hours
and even days. It is an ideal state for synthetic thought
and creativity, the proper functions of the right hemisphere.
As it is easy for the hemisphere to create images, to visualise,
to make associations, to deal with drawings, diagrams and
emotions, as well as the use of good-humour and pleasure,
learning is better absorbed if these elements are added
to the study methods. Source
Sugar rush
"Time and again you've experienced the
intense effects that food can have on your moods.
Cakes, cookies, and fudge are known as pleasure
foods not only because they delight your taste
buds but because they can make you feel calm
and happy - at least temporarily. This sugar
induced sense of euphoria comes from several
chemical mechanisms in your brain. First of all,
the sheer pleasure of tasting a chocolate treat
or powdery donut stimulates your brain's pleasure
pathways and the release of dopamine and endorphins,
the chemicals that makes you feel exhilarated.
You also get a quick surge of energy as the sugar
hits your bloodstream. Unfortunately, that energized
feeling lasts only as long as the sugar rush.
Once your blood-sugar levels drop (about an hour
or two later), you're left feeling drained and
out of sorts.You become an addict looking for
another hit."Source |
can include:
• excessive sadness
•
crying easily, even over small things like TV commercials
•
being overly sensitive to pain, physically or emotionally
•
finding it hard to get over losses
•
craving chocolate, wine, marijuana, opiate drugs or other
treats for pleasure and comfort
Neurotransmitter
Deficiencies
IT IS CRITICAL that all of the major neurotransmitters
be present daily and in sufficient amounts in order for
the brain to be chemically balanced. When there are insufficient
amounts of one or more of these it upsets the ratio and

"Also known as endorphin deficiency
disorder (EDS), a deficiency of endorphins can
be difficult for medical
professionals to diagnose initially until testing
shows the lack of these chemicals. Many of the
symptoms associated
with EDS are similar to the symptoms that occur in
depressive disorders, such as manic depression and
bipolar disorder. Depression, chronic or intermittent,
and general body aches are the two most common symptoms,
and a person may also have a tendency to cry without
a logical reason or feel pain more easily. EDS makes
it difficult for people to be generally happy in
their lives." |

Major
Neurotransmitters "Feel Good"
Endorphins-feel-good
chemicals
Although more research needs to be done, endorphins are believed to produce
four key effects on the bodymind: they enhance the immune system, they
relieve pain, they reduce stress, and postpone the aging process.
"Reduce pain and anxiety and increase
the feeling of well being. They stimulate the immune system,
and they help you learn. They reduce appetite for drug
and alcohol seeking behavior.
Consider endorphins, the chemicals that transmit information from one
cell to another in the central nervous system and produce feelings of
euphoria, intimacy, happiness, and overall well-being.
Dr. Reuer says "It’s the state of mind known as "flow," .
When musicians, and amateur drummers, find themelves in flow, especially
at a slower, steady beat, they can shift into a rhythm of deep relaxation
and expanded awareness. These "altered states", she says, release
the flow of endorphins—"feel-good" chemicals
that can help improve, if even for a short
time, your quality of life."
"Alpha
rhythms tend to stimulate the release
of the pleasure neurochemicals - endorphins, dopamine
and norepinephrine. This is more so with the frequent
use of CES Tools."
"There comes a point in every relationship
when passionate love (signaled by a racing pulse,
decreased appetite, etc.) starts to wane. That’s
when the relationship either comes to an end or,
if endorphins step in, develops into something deeper
and more meaningful. When you’re with someone
you love and trust, a release of endorphins makes
you feel secure, compassionate, and connected. It’s
what strengthens long-term relationships."Source |
Aging
Endorphines can help slow the Aging process
In addition to a change in mood, some scientists say that endorphins make
our immune system stronger,
lower blood pressure and could even slow down our body's aging process.
Endorphins have anti-aging effect by removing Superoxide: The oxygen
coming into the body from breathing can change into a Superoxide. This
is one of the biggest enemies for human causing diseases and aging.
Immune
function in the Elderly
Some scientists claim that Endorphins can remove this
harmful Superoxide by facilitating the production of 'SOD'
(Superoxide Dismutase). This is possible because the Endorphins
can keep the brain cells
young and healthy. SOD is the enzyme which
neutralized the toxicity of the harmful Superoxide. Therefore
Endorphins have anti-aging effect.
"Certain aromas can lift
your mood by influencing the production of endorphins — the
brain's "feel-good" chemicals. For example,
the scent of vanilla helps reduce anxiety, which
is often associated with depression. According
to a study at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center, patients undergoing MRIs who breathed vanilla-scented
air reported 63 percent less anxiety than those
who breathed unscented air." Source |
Scientists now
know of at least seven chemicals in the endorphin family
that have effects on memory and learning.
Endorphins, according to neuroscientists, "serve as
the body’s ‘natural reward system,’ providing
us with a rush of pleasure whenever we learn something
or act in some way that is conducive to our survival as
a species." This means that new belief system designed
to effect desirable behavior changes, if presented to the
mind when it is flooded with endorphins, may be perceived
as beneficial and adopted as such.
Memory You
can improve your memory by the help of endorphins
because they can keep the brain cells young and healthy.
They will help you to maintain a harmonious relationship
with your colleagues. You will also be able to think
creatively and have more endurance |
Scientists have found that the endorphins released
when the brain is exposed to alpha and theta patterns
enhance many mental functions. Endorphins have a
powerful strengthening effect on learning and memory,
for instance, and have been known to reverse amnesia.
Researcher David de Weid found that rats injected
with endorphins remembered things longer.
Dr. Andrew Schally, 1987 winner of the Nobel Prize for medicine,
found that rats receiving injections of endorphins showed improved
maze-running abilities. |
Aging
decreases beta-endorphin enhancement of T-cell mitogenesis
in mice
The physiological result of the endorphin
release mechanism is one of deep relaxation--respiration
slows down, heart rate decreased, eyes dilate, blood is
shunted from the extremities to the body’s core--which
improves digestion and venous flow to the internal organs.
Lymphatic speeds up and this increased the excretion of
waste and toxins from the body.
Immune
system
Endorphins enhance our immune system:
When they are secreted, they activate natural
killer cells (NK cells) and thereby increase
our immune system. Under stress, your immunocompetence
is reduced remarkably. NK cells are likely
to lose their effects under stress. NK cells,
which take responsibility for the immune
system by killing defective cells, also have
the ability to kill cancer cells. |
If that were a mechanism
of action, then many kinds of medical conditions
should respond to CES, and research soon found that
CES was effective in the treatment of addictions,
(11-13) in head injury, (14) in various types of
cognitive dysfunctions, (15-16) and more recently
in reflex sympathetic dystrophy. (17-18) In addition,
the use of CES in the treatment of many types of
pain patients has been documented, (19,20) and ongoing
studies are documenting the effectiveness of its
use in treating patients suffering from the difficult
fibromyalgia syndrome. (21-22) |
Endorphin research suggest a link between
our emotional state of well being and the health of our
immune syst .
Endorphins and other neurotransmitters that are flooded
into our bloodstream during stressful, as well as good
times, are often felt "physically" as
we get a queasy or nervous feeling in our stomachs. That "gut
feeling" most
people, at one time or another have felt, is our second
brain talking
to us, according to Jeff Cohen, M.D., a Kaiser Permanente
neurologist.
Stress
Endorphins
are anti-stress hormones: The ability to cope with
the stress is in proportion to the endorphins levels
we have in our body. We will encounter great difficulties
in removing our stress unless sufficient amounts
of endorphins are released.
If you're feeling stressed,
why not try some a stress reliever that also make
you feel good? |
82% of participants in one study suffering
from an anxiety disorder reported a significant
improvement in their symptoms after treatment
with CES.

CES in the Treatment of Anxiety
Disorders, Practical Pain

During times of
emotional stress, endorphins are released
in the limbic system of the brain and produce
a euphoria that lessens anxiety and melancholy (Rang
et al., 1995) |
|
Endorphins make us feel good. They give us a
sensation of wellness and peace, helping shrink our
problems to their true dimensions. They diminish
our giants, creating a euphoric effect that gives
us energy, enthusiasm and power to accomplish daily
tasks (Pierce, et al., 1993). |
Blood
Pressure "The release of endorphins
lowers the blood pressure, a major indicator
in heart disease, and has even been implicated
in the fight against cancer."
During stress, people who secrete
endorphins have lower heart rate reactivity. Before
and during recovery from stress, an endorphin producer
has lower mean arterial blood pressure (McCubbin,
et al., 1992). Endorphins are the body's own opiate
(Terenius, 1982). |
Endorphins are substances
produced only by the human brain. They are important
for pain control, as well as regulating blood pressure
and body temperature (Andersson and Lundeberg, 1995)
. During stress, people who secrete endorphins have lower heart rate
reactivity. Before and during recovery from stress, an endorphin
producer has lower mean arterial blood pressure (McCubbin, et al.,
1992). Endorphins are the body's own opiate (Terenius, 1982). |
Anger
Chronic anger can have serious consequences
on our health , resulting in hypertension, increased
cholesterol levels, damaged or blocked arteries,
aggravated heart disease, increased susceptibility
to infection ( due to depressed immune system), and
longer recovery time from major traumas to the body.
When acted out, anger can result in physical violence
inflicted on others, and when internalized inwards,
anger can result in depression, and may lead to unhealthy
coping mechanisms, such as alcohol or substance misuse.

A study done in Texas reported an
83% positive response after CES treatment in patients
suffering from severe aggression attacks that could
not be managed by drugs. 67% of these severely aggressive
patients that had been permanently institutionalised
were well enough to be discharged after three months
of daily CES treatment.

In animal studies at the University of Tennessee Medical
Center, researchers used drugs to deliberately upset the
homeostatic balance among the brain's neurotransmitters
in canine subjects. In this way they induced Parkinson-like
behavior in the dogs. Once all drugs were removed from
their bloodstream, and the animals were put back on normal
feeding schedules, they returned to normal behavior within
3-7 days. If CES treatment was applied at the time the
drugs were removed, all animals returned to normal within
2-8 hours. The researchers concluded that CES was effective
in bringing back to pre-stress homeostasis, neurotransmitters.
Depression
Endorphins play an important role in reducing
depression According to the Mayo Clinic, endorphins,
nature's free gift to us, is one
way to alleviate depression Dr. Laskowski, with the Mayo Clinic
says that, "Endorphins are the body's natural pain reliever." And
while endorphins are known for their ability to reduce physical
pain, sometimes as effective as a dose of morphine,
many people do not
realize that they also play a key role in reducing anxiety and
depression too.

What's
3 times better than Prozac?
CES was found to be two times more effective
in treating depression than the most effective antidepressant
drugs on the market. In fact, CES treatment is 3 times
as effective as fluoxetine (Prozac) in the curing of
depression, compared to placebo (fake treatment).

Sleep
The increase in norepinephrine causes adrenaline to be released
and the reduction of serotonin makes sleep difficult to impossible.
[It is important to note that serotonin is a sleep enabling neurotransmitter,
not a sleep inducing one. A lack of serotonin makes sleep very
hard to achieve. Once the serotonin becomes available, the body
demands the sleep it now badly needs.
As levels are restored, you notice that you sleep
better, think more clearly, are slower to anger,
feel more at peace and relaxed. You find you're more
positive, focused and motivated. These feelings begin
to replace negative thoughts, hopelessness and depression. |
One study reported an average 67% effectiveness in treating sleeping
disorders among 648 patients, while increasing daytime vigilance.

Yawning
" The more of these compounds
activated in the brain, the greater the frequency
of yawns. Conversely, a greater presence in the brain
of opiate neurotransmitters such as endorphins, the
less the frequency of yawns."Source |
The CES Can Help
Stroke Victims Recover
CES is used with stroke victims. A stroke damages certain
parts of the brain. The muscles have not been injured,
yet, the brain can no longer send the impulses needed for
movement. With a CES attached a new path to the brain is
created. The old pathway was destroyed by the stroke and
can not be recovered, . So, through the CES unit a new
Pathway is established.
Endorphins are hundreds of times more powerful
than heroin and many times more than morphine (Cornejo,
1995; Davis, 1984). In terms of stimulant power,
they have a tremendous impact on attitude, the will
and mental insight. Experimental work with animals
has shown improvements in memory and learning capacity
when endorphins were involved (Davis, 1984). |
Can
CES help Drug Dependence
The ability to improve anxiety, depression
and insomnia has made CES a powerful adjunct for a variety
of disorders, including drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
CES helps reduce withdrawal symptoms regardless of the
involved substance. CES has been studied with people recovering
from addictions to alcohol, heroin, cocaine, marijuana,
morphine and barbiturates. Studies have found CES to produce
many beneficial psychological changes in recovering addicts,
including: reduced anxiety, hostility and depression, improved
planning, self esteem, assertiveness, decision-making skills,
feeling expression, energy levels and capacity for intimate
contact. CES speeds time to fall asleep, increases time
spent in deepest sleep and amount of time in bed spent
asleep. It also reduces confusion and bewilderment and
increases IQ in recovering addicts. All of these beneficial
effects add up to a fifty % reduction in recidivism (over
two years of study) for substance abusers!
Memory
and Learning
" Imagine how your life and career would improve if you could learn
faster and retain much more without constant revisions ?" Research
shows that the key to speed learning is your state of mind before, during and
immediately after your learning session. It is when you are in a state of relaxed
alertness that you will achieve the greatest improvement in memory together with
increased concentration and creativity.

Would you like to be able to feel good, or
relieve pain at any time - without taking harmful drugs?
Well you can, thanks to the ability of your own brain to
produce endorphins.
Pain "The
brain responds to pain signals by producing and
activating morphine-like hormones called endorphins.
This pain relief effect lasts for about 30 hours
(longer than known analgesics), and without side
effects when used frequently."
Sustained stimulation at low
levels of pulse intensity has a strong effect on
managing chronic nagging pain. Experience has shown
that for the management of chronic pain, an endorphin
release is by far the most effective application
of CES.. Endorphins flow through the circulatory
system acting like pain medication, inhibiting
pain message transmission at nerve junctions throughout
the body. |

If
you are using a Medical protocol
CES can be used in conjunction with medication,
psychotherapy, biofeedback and other therapies. It often
augments the effects of other treatments. CES helps prevent
rebound depression in patients being weaned off anti–anxiety
medication. While medication may be effective in treating
symptoms of anxiety or depression, it interferes with the
re-establishment of homeostasis in the brain. In contrast,
CES does restore balance to the brain.
CES is also very effective for pain relief. In addition
to the arthritis study previously cited, headaches, fibromyalgia,
low back pain, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, and Temporomandibular
joint (TMJ) dysfunction syndrome are a few of the chronic
pain states documented to respond to CES.
CES has been found to reduce frequency, intensity and
duration of migraine headaches. Fibromyalgia patients with
severe chronic headaches were treated with CES. These patients
had failed to respond to various medications, biofeedback,
low tyramine diet, physical therapy and local injections.
About half of the seventy-five subjects had a significant
reduction in the frequency and intensity of headaches.
This study also found an overall net decrease in the sensitivity
of six main tender points on various parts of the body
Is CES safe?
CES has an unblemished safety record. A broad reading of published literature
on the subject shows no negative effects or major contraindications
from its use, either in the U.S. or in other parts of the world. The
National Research Council has deemed CES a non-significant risk modality.
The unit's sole source of current are common 1.5 - 9 volt batterys. Its
intensity is limited —no more than is required to run a small toy
or a penlight. Even when turned to maximum intensity, it is not harmful.
It is suggested, however, that until you become fully acclimated to your
unit, you maintain the intensity at a lower setting
CES
effects are long lasting and cumulative
The efficacy of CES has been demonstrated
in many different ways. Studies have used twenty-seven
different psychometric (pencil and paper) tests including
the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and the
State/Trait Anxiety Inventory. CES has consistently demonstrated
reductions in anxiety on these tests. Other studies have
measured the physiological manifestations of anxiety before
and after CES treatment. Slowing of brain waves and respiration
rate, as well as reduction in blood pressure are physical
signs of stress reduction that have been documented with
CES treatment. One placebo-controlled study evaluated the
effects of CES treatment in twenty individuals with chronic
stress symptoms of at least a year’s duration. All
of them had failed to respond to medication. Muscle tension,
heart rate and finger temperature were measured before,
immediately after, and one week following a single twenty
minute CES treatment. Muscle tension and heart rate decreased
and finger temperature increased immediately after treatment
in those receiving active CES treatment but not in the
placebo (sham CES) group. One week after treatment, those
who had received active CES treatment still had significantly
reduced muscle tension and heart rate! This is one of the
many advantages of CES over medications. Whereas medications
only work as long as they are taken, .
Homeostasis can be defined as the tendency
for intrinsic balance within a system. Application
of a range of CES appears to enhance the Balance
of the biological central nervous system. A change
in one system within the individual will have
correlative effects upon other systCES. Improvements
in mood, cognitive function, self image, shift
of locus , control to oneself, and sense of well
being can be measured. When CES works, it enhances
one's ability to handle or deal with situations
that were previously beyond the range of one's
control.
Its
now within your control |
Research conducted throughout the 20th century
has demonstrated that the brain makes use of electrical
activity; thus, one can affect mental functions by affecting
the organ's electrical activity.
During CES, an electric current is focused upon the hypothalamic
region; during this process, CES electrodes are placed
behind the ear at the mastoid, or clipped to the portion
of the earlobe, near to the face. CES treatment promotes
an increase in endorphins; note, scientists remain unsure
why this occurs. The current results in an increase of
the brain's levels of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine,
and a decrease in its level of cortisol. When CES is effective,
users are in an "alert, yet relaxed" state, characterized
by alpha brain waves.
Effectiveness
Most users report a decrease
in anxiety during
treatment, and many other report a decrease in anxiety
as much as two days later. Some users report a euphoric
feeling; they report that their bodies feel "lighter",
their thinking is clearer,
and that they are more creative.
A minority of users require five to ten treatments to
achieve any effect.
