Margaret Mead said, “Never doubt that a small group of committed individuals can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that has ever changed it”
I always loved that quote. Last week I had the chance to see it in action. We went back to the beautiful spa and resort The Grand Waialea on Maui to do a seminar. I got a pedicure in the salon - such a girl thing - and much to my surprise the woman who did the treatment greeted me with recognition and a big hug! She said, “Last year when you were here you fixed my ankle with FSM. I injured it running in July and I still couldn’t walk comfortably in November. In one treatment it was permanently pain free. I ran the next day and did a 10K yesterday. I love FSM!! Thank you so much!.”
Think of the ripples we make in the world when a patient recovers or has their pain reduced or thier life improved. This is what keeps FSM going. Nothing is ever 100% but we do such wonderful things in patients lives and make such a difference in the world. Never doubt that the ripples can change the world - one patient at a time.

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
