Sorry to go off the topic (sort of anyway). I wanted to know why DC was so important in this topic.

I found this link: its a simple one but you’ll get the idea…

Basically DC (direct current) electrons flows in one direction and is static in its voltage. It’s limitaion is that the voltage fades when sending power over long distances. (i guess this would be a problem for power companies not for stim units)

AC (alternating current) electrons flow first in one direction and in the other. This makes the flow of electrons change in the direction they travel.

From looking at the arp online video demos, it seems like the DC current is better for healing being that the current flows in one direction. Does this DC flow create a help the body draw or “pull” nutrients and blood to an injured site?

As far as AC stim units (i have a compex) go, the alternating flow does not seem like the best option for healing and recovery. But for a brute force applicaion like stregnth encrease etc can it compete with the ARP device?

Thanks

You can read the book “The Body Electric” by Robert O. Becker,loosely defined an “idiot” by Professor Dan earlier in this thread.

Or you can venture in reading the aforementioned BCEC book if you manage to find a copy.

Also of some interest to answer your question: “Energy Medicine in Therapeutics and Human Performance” by J.L. Oschman,which if I remember correctly has been among TopCat’s favourite resources.

All of them will give you adequate basic information abou use of and research about DC.
