Restoring Natural Cellular Function with Microcurrent Therapy

There is promising research on the use of microcurrent therapy in diabetes care to reset the electrical conductivity of islet cells. The islet is sensitive to a glucose demand in secreting insulin and uses gap junctions as a tuning parameter in this adaptation. Thus, looking to restore natural cellular function through the use of microcurrents or electrical connectivity repair holds much promise for the future of diabetes treatment, pancreatic islet cell repair and the potential reversal of type 2 diabetes.

Sample of microcurrent clinical trials:

  1. Doaa, Salwa, Ayman and Enas – 2017
    Study showed microcurrent therapy to be effective in managing pain, increasing functionality and improved nerve function in patients with sciatica (lumbar radiculopathy).

  2. Bok Y. Lee – 2010
    Study showed microcurrent therapy to be effective in managing diabetes, hypertension and wound healing.

  3. Carley and Wainapel – 1985
    Study found non-healing wounds to heal 150% to 250% faster with less pain using microcurrent stimulation.

  4. Ngok Cheng – 1982
    Study found that microcurrents increase ATP by up to 500%, thus speeding up recovery from injury and helping to manage chronic pain.
