I have had an increase in the number of inquiries about using FSM to treat the eye. My response is always the same and I want to have everyone know it so I’ll put it here on the blog.  

Non opthalmic professionals should not treat the eye with FSM or any other modality. Non-othalmic professionals do not have the equipment or the expertise to examine and evaluate the eye. Microcurrent and FSM have not been shown officially to be useful or safe in treating the eye and TENS devices are contraindicated for use through the eye. There is no reason to expect that FSM is not safe and opthalmic professionals can use any modality they deem safe and worth a trial of treatment. We have mouse research showing that one frequency combination can reduce inflammation. To the extent that reducing inflammation is useful in treating anything that frequency may be helpful.

Dr. Richard Luekenga is an optometrist using FSM to treat the eye successfully. He practices in Richfield Utah and his number is (435) 896-8142. We are referring patients and practitioners to him for consult and advice. The case reports are promising but they are just case reports at this point. FSM is in a vulnerable position in this clinical area. If non-qualified practitioners treat the eye with FSM and patients have trouble or side effects - whether actually related to treatment or simply coincidental - FSM gets a bad reputation and the practitioner is at risk - not to mention the patient.

If you are not an opthalmic professional do not treat the eye with FSM. Prudently yours - Dr. Carol

HI - I have finally been dragged into the 21st century and compelled to learn how to do a blog. The last few months have been whirlwind of travel and and networking. Jessica Morea helped collect data on successful treatment of neuropathic pain in our clinic. 20 patients with 6.7 years chronic nerve pain came in with an average pain of  6.8/10 and left at an average of 4.8/10.  (P<.001) They came in on the second visit with pain of 4.8 / 10 and left at the end of the treatment with pain of .97/10.  (P<.001) 65% (13) recovered after an average of 4.6 treatments.25% (5) terminated care prior to recovery although every patient experiences similar levels of pain relief. One person was referred for an epidural and one patient uses an FSM HomeCare for pain relief at home. We’ll be submitting this paper for publication in the next few months.

 I am not actually sure what you are supposed to put in a blog but this is the most exciting new thing in FSM I know about to share with you - or for those from the south - all y’all (as my friend Shannon says). Now that I know how to do this I’ll blog more often. Is that a verb or a noun or both?? Love and blessings, Dr.Carol
