The explosive growth in electrical technologies and our ever-increasing understanding of the relationship between biophysics and biochemistry preludes the conceptualization of biological processes on an electrochemical basis, rather than on a chemical basis alone. The most recent advancements of scientific electro-medicine involve only microcurrent levels of stimulation (in the millionths of an ampere), often sufficiently minute as to not even be felt by the patient being treated. The lack of sensation during microcurrent stimulation has been consistently viewed as evidence that microcurrent is more in tune, and as such better absorbed and incorporated within the intercommunications of biological processes than higher levels of electrical stimulation such as miliamp (in the thousandths of an ampere). Microcurrent stimulation has been extensively used in the medical field for skin ulcers, bone repair, muscle healing, and anti-aging procedures such as non surgical face lifts and lymphatic drainage. Research evidence has revealed that microcurrent acts as an antioxidant (Lee et al 2005), increases ATP (cellular energy) by 500% (Cheng et al, 1982), enhances cell proliferation, DNA and protein content (Yin et al, 2005), as well as collagen and elastin (Santos 2004; Chi 1999, 2002). On the other hand, the anti-aging regime of electrical body treatments such as inch loss, body building and contouring has been governed by muscle stimulators that operate with miliamps. Miliamp operated muscle stimulators deplete ATP (Cheng et al, 1982. Santos et al 2004), thus depriving the cellular system from energy that is crucial for optimal biological functioning. Intense discomfort and confinement of the result within the area treated are additional limitations of muscle stimulators
