Title : The integration of the neubie direct current device with traditional and holisticmedicines
Abstract:
The Neubie, or NEUroBIological Electrical stimulation, is an FDA-cleared patented device that safely sends direct current signals to patients experiencing pain, muscle movement limitations and other neurological disorders. It also increases local circulation, prevents atrophy, and reduces spasms. In the 2023 Traditional Medicine meeting in Tokyo we presented on our integration of Tibetan and functional medicines for nervous system disorders, with a brief review of the applications of the Neubie. We shared how the integration of Tibetan and functional medicines and the Neubie provide a synergy that optimizes healing outcomes. In this presentation, we will build on last year’s talk with more details on the Neubie and its benefits for multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and atrial fibrillation (AFib). Two Neubie techniques were used to address these patient populations, Body scanning and the “Master Reset” vagal nerve stimulation protocol. Body scanning is used to determine where the nervous system is imposing limitations of movement in the body to help guide treatments of a few minutes on each site and was used for those with MS and ALS. The Master Reset protocol is used for 20 minutes with electrodes applied to the base of the neck and soles of the feet and is thought to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system via the vagal nerve, bringing calm to an overexcited sympathetic nervous system. Because heart rhythms and arrhythmia are controlled through a fine balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, the Master Reset protocol was used to reset normal heart rhythm to subjects experiencing AFib. For both MS and ALS, applications of the Neubie provided stimulation and activation of nerves to facilitate enhanced movement and decreased spasticity and pain. For AFib, the Neubie provided conversion of AFib into normal sinus rhythm, usually within 3-13 minutes, though occasionally required treatments on two sequential days to create a lasting effect. Given that the incidence of AFib in increasing worldwide and up to 25% of paroxysmal AFib clients can convert to chronic AFib, these results are significant for potential prevention and we are currently exploring preventive applications. Regarding the mechanism of action of the Neubie on the human body and nervous system, the direct current signal mimics action potentials in areas that have dysfunctional or weakened signaling, which can restore function or affect changes on cellular activity, including gene expression, macrophage migration, stem cell migration, morphological changes in brain cells, membrane polarization, increases in nitric oxide, and mitochondrial and long-range cell-cell communication and we hope to stimulate further research into these areas. We experience ongoing in the clinic that the integration of the use of the Neubie with Traditional and Holistic medicines optimizes clinical outcomes.
