Can you point to any resources that can be found online for this? Just finished reading 3 different books of different theories on acupuncture (and electro-acupucture) and its application from 3 very different perspectives. Most seem to believe though (and the research seems to indicate) that there is something going on electrically, though I’d rather hear about what the actual research and science is telling us at this point, rather than just hypotheses that are literally founded on nothing (and often nonsensical) other than to sell something.
Acupuncture needles are pennies, alligator clips are a couple dollars, and there are decent EMS machines for under $100 that can handle a number of different protocols (self-made). To me, that, along with the wealth of knowledge base about acupuncture points and protocols as a whole (both from TCM and from recent medical literature), seems an awful lot more accessible than the ARP. Just my thoughts though.
As an aside–do any of the engineers out there know how to go about making a DC stim machine?
