WHAT FSM IS AND WHAT TO EXPECT FROM TREATMENTS

Frequency-Specific Microcurrent technology (FSM) is a healing modality with origins in the early 1900's.  It uses an electronic device to generate pairs of low-frequency micro-ampere currents that can be applied to the patient's skin using graphite gloves, conductive gel pads, wet towels, or electrical coils that send pulsed electromagnetic fields.

As an energy-based healing modality, FSM, like Reiki, has a distance healing component that allows the practitioner and the patient to be in separate locations during the treatment.  Efficacy of the treatments does not depend on how the treatment is delivered to the patient.

How FSM Works.  FSM employs biological resonance and frequencies that seem to change cell signaling and thereby change cell function and structures to reduce pain and improve function.  It also increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an organic compound in the body's mitochondria that synthesizes energy to drive and support processes such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, condensate dissolution, and chemical synthesis.  FSM has also been shown to increase pain-relieving endorphins and decrease prostaglandins, inflammatory substances that are usually elevated in chronic pain conditions.

Hydration is Critical for FSM.  More than half (60%) of the human body is water.  FSM is transmitted through the water of the body to reach the cells under treatment.  Consequently, being fully hydrated is absolutely essential for the process to work as it should.  Here's what that means:

I further acknowledge that, although exceptionally rare, there may be side effects to FSM treatment, such as nausea, fatigue, drowsiness, a temporary increase in pain, or a flu-like feeling from the sudden release of toxins that have accumulated in the tissues and potentially contributed to the ailment. If side effects occur, it is usually within the first 90 minutes after treatment and can last from 4 to 24 hours.
