Cesta - Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES)

    

The new CESta is a powerful and versatile CES device with 18 preset sessions and 18 blank locations for you to create and store your specialized sessions.

The CESta monitors and adjusts the intensity of the stimulation 1000 times per second to ensure consistent and comfortable stimulation. Throughout the entire session, the CESta will check the electrode connections and automatically make the necessary adjustments. All sessions are pre-timed so your CESta will turn off when your session is complete.

The CESta can also be used for Microcurrent-Electrical Therapy (MET), Transcranial DC Stimulation and/or to make colloidal silver (Each requires the purchase of additional hardware and/or software available from Mind Alive Inc.)

About CES

Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES) was developed in the Soviet Union in the late 1940s as a treatment for insomnia and has since been used by millions of people all over the world. Most research over the past 25 years has shown that CES reduces anxiety and improves cognition in recovering drug addicts and alcoholics. Pete Townsend, formerly of the band "The Who", found CES was the most effective treatment for his drug addiction recovery.

Research demonstrates that CES produces a mild stimulation in the hypothalamic area of the brain, resulting in balancing neurotransmitter activity (in particular Beta Endorphin and Norepinephrine). The effects achieved are similar to that of a "jogger's high".

Expected Results with CES

Although individual levels of improvement may vary, medical research reveals dramatic improvements in mental functioning including:

• Deep Relaxation
• Improved Memory
• Mental Clarity
• Mood Elevation
• Improved Learning
• Sound Sleep
• Increased Concentration
• Increased Vitality
• Reduction of Psychosomatic Conditions
• Assisting Substance Abuse Recovery

About Microcurrent-Electrical Therapy (MET)

Although electromedicine has been in existence for well over a thousand years, developments in electronics and new research has seen this technology grow at a terrific rate in recent years. The term microcurrent-electrical therapy was coined by Joseph Mercola and Daniel Kirsch in 1995 as a “bio-compatible” technique primarily used for the treatment of pain. According to Patrick DeBoch, MET is very different than traditional TENS because MET produces its benefits in part on a cellular level. MET may replace TENS for pain applications as it has longer lasting effects.

The concept of MET is based, in part, on Arndt’s Law, which states that weak stimuli excite physiological activity, whereas medium-strength stimuli will encourage it and strong stimuli will suppress it.

It is believed that MET delivered at around 500 micro-amps in the 0.5 to 3 Hz range may be most effective for treating pain. 

About Transcranial DC Therapy (tDCS)

When a DC current is applied over the scalp with the intention of altering neuronal activity, it is known as transcranial DC stimulation. tDCS is effective in modulating spontaneous neuronal firing. tDCS at intensities of 1 milliamp applied for roughly 10 minutes has been shown to either excite or inhibit the sensori-motor cortex, with the effects lasting over an hour. Excitation is achieved by anodal (+) stimulation, while inhibition is achieved by cathodal (-) stimulation. Anodal stimulation has also been shown to increase both beta and gamma activity in the visual cortex, while cathodal stimulation has decreased beta and gamma activity. Stimulation is generated by putting a wet cloth, cotton ball or sponge on the scalp over the brain region to be treated and a sponge or cotton ball on the shoulder or the face.  The tDCS sessions deliver a maximum intensity of 2.35 milliamps at DC. tDCS is being used for the treatment of many conditions, including depression.

CAUTIONS:  tDCS is very powerful and if applied improperly, can result in negative side effects.  Therefore, the sessions for tDCS will only be released to qualified clinicians.

About Colloidal Silver
To make colloidal silver with your CESta, you will need the Colloidal Silver Making Kit (patch cord, silver rods, silver rod holder, plastic spacer and sessions). The CESta provides a constant current output with a maximum of 1.5 milliamps.  As a result, it offers a very simple procedure to make high quality colloidal silver.
