“ Life Changing! I have tried many different approaches and techniques over two decades of suffering from anxiety and depression. Alpha stim made a difference within two days and I have continued to improve. I would enthusiastically recommend that anyone give this a try”
Helen L July 2021
“ Works really well. No need to use drugs must get yourself one of these far healthier on the body”
Perform P. April 2021
“All you read about this product is true. I have had anxiety for 7 years. I truly didn't know where to turn. Seen this machine on a BBC programme about anxiety and thank god I could afford it, but really the money you save on not needing medical intervention, well it pays for its self. I now can meet life's challenges without panicking. Truly wonderful. Changed my life”
JacintaMarch 2021
“Like a lot of others, I first heard of this product on the BBC documentary about mental health. I slept on it and decided to take the plunge and invest in this machine. I can definitely feel a lessening of my depression and anxiety after using it for a couple of months. I started on just 20 minutes a day, then increased to 40, but am now doing an hour a day and that's when I started to feel a real improvement. I hope the benefits continue to increase”

“This was highly recommended by a friend .It’s all he said it was and more. Brilliant!”
Teresa Firth-CMarch 2021
“I brought this device after seeing a programme on the BBC Improving Mental Health. I thought about it for some weeks before buying, mainly because of the cost and I was sceptical, but this device is amazing. It has helped me with anxiety and low mood to the extent I’ve started to wean off my antidepressant. I feel so much calmer, positive and able to cope with life.”
Barbara GMarch 2021
“Having suffered anxiety and associated sleep problems I came across this device whilst watching a tv programme. It was a big risk spending such a large amount of money on what could have been a toy. However, that has not been my experience and it has more than paid for itself. My mood is lifted after using it along with my housemate's. I use it on 2.5 for 20 minutes mostly once a day but for those days that are needed I might use it in the morning and again in the afternoon. (there are no negative side effects to doing this in my experience). I have recommended the device to others also as I know many who could benefit from this. I also noted that it is now prescribed on the NHS but I think this is still difficult to access and needs to be prescribed by a mental health professional and not just your GP.”

“ Alpha Stim is now part of my daily routine. It’s an amazing device and has been instrumental in improving my mood. I have also recommended it to my friend who has serious depression. He has not felt as well in years and immediately went and purchased the unit after using mine for 2wks. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Alpha Stim.”
DawnOctober 2020
“ My 16 year old daughter has suffered with chronic anxiety and insomnia since she was 9 years old unfortunately. She has been hospitalized and is on medication. My daughter started to go downhill again recently so we did our research on this device as a last resort to avoid hospital again and it has been unbelievable. After the first use it snapped her out of her vacant expression and the deep depression she was in and we saw her smile and laugh for the first time in weeks. Obviously it's not a miracle cure but it has made a huge difference to my daughter and we hope with continued use she will keep improving.”
JessJuly 2020
“I have certainly noticed a difference. At the start I stopped taking 5-HTP, which I was taking for depression instead of prescription meds suggested by my GP. Normally when I take a break from 5-HTP tablets I have to go back on them after less than 2 weeks as my mood sinks, but not this time. I have felt more positive and more cheerful. The improvement began almost after the first few sessions and continues so far.
Also, and possibly more exciting/interesting, I am clearer in my mind (I noticed that has happened during the last week) and I am able to think faster, come up with words - which previously I would have struggled to recall, and I feel 'sharper'. All this is brilliant, as you can imagine, because for the first time in ages I am starting to feel like me again.”
AnneJuly 2019
Anxiety
“This innovative device has made a noticeable difference in my anxiety levels, allowing me to approach each day with greater ease and confidence. I incorporate it into my morning relaxation routine, and it works like a shield, helping me not to feel too overwhelmed by the day's challenges. It's a small but powerful tool that has helped me regain control and find moments of serenity, proving that sometimes, the most significant transformations come from the simplest of sources.”
D Hunt Oct 2023
“I've been using the Alpha-Stim AID for almost three months and found it hugely helpful. I have heart palpitations with my long covid that can be so bad I can't sleep, but within just a couple days of using the Alpha-Stim they were already much better, as was my sleep. Even if I don't use it every day, the palpitations are virtually gone and my sleep is much better (apart from the 2-3 weeks after a new bout of covid). I'm now weaning off the anti-anxiety meds I was put on for the palpitations.”
Trent GOct 2023
“ Life Changing! I have tried many different approaches and techniques over two decades of suffering from anxiety and depression. Alpha stim made a difference within two days and I have continued to improve. I would enthusiastically recommend that anyone give this a try”
Helen L July 2021
“ So far so good. Purchased following research into alternative methods of helping treat anxiety and sleeping problem. It is not that easy to get help at the moment which does not involve strong medication.
We read enough to feel that it would be worth giving the Alpha Stim a go. Read the instructions and started to use it, it is a little odd to use at first and you have to experiment a little , small steps to start with. So far so good, early days but have not regretted making the purchase. Now considering reducing current medication and see what happens next.”
PB April 2021
“ Alpha -stim really helped me a lot with my anxiety and sleep. I used to feel very irritated about anything everything. My mind was so busy I felt exhausted. When I started to use Alpha-Stim I am much calmer, I sleep better, more relaxed and definitely more focused. I tried many things to relax but nothing worked. Alpha Stim helped me a lot. Thank you!”

“Surprisingly good at relieving anxiety and restlessness or just feeling too much nervous energy. Twenty minutes is enough to relax. Expensive, but if anxiety is a consistent problem then defo worth getting.”

“I have been using the Alpha Stim for nearly six months now and I am delighted to say that my long-standing anxiety problem has decreased significantly - in fact I feel I am almost anxiety free. I have been using the device twice a day. As I am a bit prone to vertigo, I was advised to use the second to lowest setting which has been fine.”
Hilary MayAugust 2020
“I cannot thank you enough for all the advice and support received since I purchased the Alpha Stim. I am now in my second month using the Alpha Stim and my anxiety has now gone completely. I also recently starting using the Alpha Stim in the evenings for insomnia and this is also improving a lot. Yesterday, I slept nearly 9 hours! I guess my body is trying to catch up with sleep lost in the last 5 months. I am so happy that I did not go down the anti-depressant route this time. Hope to taper off in the future but feel confident that I now have this machine to help me with any new episodes of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (I am prone to them). Many thanks to James and Steve for their support.”
Maria Lopez RodriguezDec 2019
“I really had wished I'd found this device many years ago. I've suffered with anxiety for around thirty years and this has made such a difference to my life. I was wary at first but two months on I realised that I have extended periods of normality that were rare before. As the product guide says the effects are cumulative I will continue to use at least twice a week to maintain the real improvement in my quality of life. I can only thank the pioneers who researched and developed this device, they should be applauded.”
Stephen WestwoodNov 2019
“I used this for my mum who had dementia for anxiety and distress and I found it the only non invasive non drug treatment that worked. She was used to wearing clip-on earrings all her life so it was no issue having her wear it every day. It made her calmer relaxed and peaceful and I did not find it induced sleep nor did it stop her sleeping when using in the evenings. It also made her more alert and just very relaxed less nervous I used on myself for relaxation. I fought to have our mum use this and for her it was invaluable with no side effects unlike what she had been subjected to it was the best thing I could find for her that was discreet easy to use and got results with no suffering for her I like to think it made her feel happier as it made her look less stressed”
Sylvia RushbrookJune 2017
“I bought Alpha-Stim AID when I was going through a nasty bout of anxiety. Within days it had cleared up, giving me the space to address the route cause. I love how the anxiety just floats away without any side effects.”
Sue HuntJune 2017
“Used alpha stim for anxiety. An hour in the morning coupled with exercise had a calming effect and reduced the intensity of my conditions. After a month or so reduced right down to 15 to 30 mins for maintenance which was due to some headaches.
MatthewJune 2017
You have to find your own balance with the machine but persevere as it does work. If you have time it is nice to have a power nap towards the end of the session it helps. Also use mindfulness meditation during treatment to relax and empty the mind. Going to try the other model for pain relief as I suffer with back knee and shoulder pain. All the antidepresents and diazapam have the same effects as this machine without a doubt and without all the dreaded side effects.”
“Had the Alpha-Stim SCS for around 6 years now and am convinced it has lessened my anxiety problem. I no longer take prescribed medication and hope the improvement continues.”
Andrew SpannerJune 2017
“Alpha-stim has been a fantastic addition to the practice in aiding the management of anxious patients. It offers everything a patient would wish for- it's simple, comfortable, safe and low cost but most importantly it's effective.
N NeesonFebruary 2017
Every single patient who has used it once has wanted it to be used every time subsequently. That has given me great confidence in recommending it.
I like how it allows us to take control of the waiting period prior to an appointment. For many patients this can be a time of heightened anxiety, particularly if things aren't running on time. Alpha-stim means that we are managing the patients' fears right from the moment they enter the practice.”
“I definitely felt relaxed during the session, a little day dreamy even. The calm but alert feeling of my mellow mood continued for several hours. The weather was dreary all afternoon, yet I felt happier than in recent days.
S HamiltonFebruary 2017
I continued the trial at home and, after three days, noticed I was calmer and felt more upbeat. It's great to know there's an alternative to prescription drugs for unrelated conditions, with no side-effects.”

Caitlin TDecember 2020
“This device took away my feelings of depression almost instantly, which haven't reappeared. The anxiety is still there but not as regular and I went from using the device every day to occasionally. It really is a good piece of kit I couldn't be without it now. I only use the lowest setting at 20mins a time, and start to feel more relaxed after about 10. It can give me a headache, and feel like my brain is vibrating if use it for too long. I would highly recommend to everyone.”
Daniel CirielloJune 2017
“I have seen a huge improvement in my depression and using my Alpha-Stim has become an important part of my day.”
S NewtonJune 2017
“I have been using my alpha stim for over 2 years and still find it invaluable. I bought it because I had low mood, which lifted almost immediately. It has also helped with much more. My sleep is better and after having an operation on my knee, the alpha stim helped with pain relief and I think healing.”
Jacqueline QuinnJune 2017
Insomnia
“ This device is positively miraculous in the way it helps with insomnia. The effect was instant (although some people can slowly build up to get the full effect) and has been consistently good at improving the quality and quantity of sleep.”

Happy C.March 2021
“So I bought the Alpha stim aid a few weeks ago. The first time of use I set it for 20mins at number 2 although instructions recommended 2.5. I felt a slight sensation but not uncomfortable. I then used it for about 10 days in a row and now twice weekly at 40 mins setting 2. On use and afterwards for several hours I felt really calm, not sleepy but a feeling of calmness. My fitbit has shown a higher sleep score with more deep sleep and REM than before use. It’s very easy to operate although I find the ear clips a bit flimsy and they can easily slip off if you are moving around. You need to saturate the ear clips with the solution and this was easier with my own droplet bottle. All in all it’s been very good so far and always there as a sort of insurance if I start to feel stressed. Expensive but worth it and also being trialled by the NHS currently.”
Michael RFebruary 2021
“We purchased the Alpha-stim model for help with insomnia. It is too early to say how well the machine is working. Over the first four weeks of use the machine has helped on some nights but on others we could not detect any benefit. We shall continue to work at it. What we have valued very much is the advice and help from members of the customer service team, particularly one, Steve, who was able to help us from his own experience.”

Maria Lopez RodriguezDec 2019
“I purchased my Alpha Stim last year. I had been suffering from pain conditions for over ten years and had tried all sorts of therapies and remedies, but with little effect. On starting to use the Alpha Stim the effects were almost immediate. The most powerful difference though was my sleep. Every morning I would wake-up feeling as though I had run a marathon, after starting to use the Alpha Stim, I woke feeling refreshed - such a difference! For me, the Alpha Stim has been worth every penny and I would not want to be without it.”
Chris ScottJune 2017
“This machine was recommended after hypnotherapy for tension It helps me sleep and also relax, something I find very difficult to do. I use it as when necessary and would not be without it Highly recommended for those with any of above symptoms.”
Alan CooperJune 2017

Jacqueline QuinnJune 2017
“Brilliant product that has helped control my pain levels as well as improve my mood and sleep patterns. Don't think I could be without this little thing now!”
Caroline DaviesJune 2017
“I bought an Alpha-Stim M over a year ago for two purpose; pain relief in my feet; and to help relive insomnia. A year later I cannot claim either condition has disappeared entirely but both are MUCH better and I attribute this to the Alpha-Stim. My practice is a 20 minute daily session with the ear-clips followed by a five minute session on my feet. I can honestly say I would not now be without my Alpha-Stim.”
Barry ShevlinJune 2017
“On those days when the tension builds and sleep doesn't come the Alpha Stim helps me to relax and sleep well”
Timothy RussJune 2017
Pain
“My daughter has suffered from chronic back pain for most of her life. She has had scans and lots of physio and Chiropractic care over the years but nothing has helped. Medication didn’t ease the pain either. Whilst doing more research I came across the Alpha Stim M and decided to try it. My daughter felt immediate relief the first time she used it, it was amazing! Her pain reoccurs quite often and she treats it every time with the Alpha Stim M which relieves the pain. We have started trialing the cranial therapy alongside to see if there are further improvements and hoping the AlphaStim M will also help with Anxiety and Insomnia.”
K LowdonFeb 2024
“I have used the Alpha-Stim M for two weeks, for severe pain and ongoing, unrelenting depression and hopelessness. I really had given up on anything to help me, and the depression that had plagued me wince my teens just would not respond to anything. The disability I had developed due to pain, endless fatigue and mobility issues made this hopelessness run deep.
I'm not even sure how I came accross the Alpha-Stim's existence, but I remember discussing it with my husband, who thought it was worth trying, as he had been having to work from home for months as I couldn't be left alone, and this was becoming difficult.
I visited Linda Horncastle in Beaconsfield, and she spent three hours with me, trying both the earclips and probes, and adjusting the settings to suit me. The night I slept deeply for the first time since I developed Pain. Very quickly, the fatigue was the first thing to lessen. Then I noticed my movement was easier. Then the pain lessened and the overwhelming depression started to gradually lift.
I rented the device for two weeks and yesterday I decided that I really couldn't be without it, even for a day.
Having been let down so many times by treatments meant to help, I must admit I was a very cynical person, so there was a little chance of the placebo effect for me. I was just too low in my spirits for anything to penetrate enough to instigate any placebo effect. Having a genetic predisposition to clinical depression, and the burden of severe pain on top of this, I had completely given up in every way.
It is early days, but the results so far are very real and life-changing. I have real hope for the future”
EstellaJune 2019
“I had a painful knee after having completed the Isle of Wight Walk so I thought I would try the Alpha-Stim M for the pain. The treatment took me minutes and the pain completely disappeared, never to return! A by product of my knee treatment was a problem I was having with my thigh muscle (Rectus femoris) also disappeared. I have since been using it on my patients with excellent results.
The Alpha-Stim Aid is very calming for the mind and I find that using it every few days keeps my mind in a great place.”
Kim AminuAugust 2017
“I have been using the Alpha Stim M for over five months now and I have already noticed some improvement to my pain levels. With Linda Horncastle's support I have learnt how to tailor use of the device to treat my symptoms. In addition, by using the Alpha Stim with M function I can treat the specific point of pain in my body which has enabled me to gain some more control over my 'moving pain.'”
M CJuly 2017
“I purchased my Alpha Stim in July ( I think) last year. I had been suffering from Pain for over ten years and had tried all sorts of therapies and remedies, but with little effect. On starting to use the Alpha Stim the effects were almost immediate. Before using it, I couldn't walk the short distance from home to Richmond, but would need to take the bus home. Within two weeks of use, I walked to Twickenham and back, it seemed almost like a miracle.
Perhaps the most powerful difference though was my sleep. Every morning I would wake-up feeling as though I had run a marathon, after starting to use the Alpha Stim, I woke feeling refreshed - such a difference! Using it has also reduced the aches and pains I constantly suffered. I am now retired and living in Winchester where I can enjoy walking around the countryside with an energy I had not had for years. For me, the Alpha Stim has been worth every penny and I would not want to be without it.”
Chris ScottJune 2017
“I have been searching for years for anything to help ease my pain. I have tried tens machines, supplements and medication. None of these worked combating all my symptoms from pain, anxiety and depression. After conducting my own research I purchased the alpha stim m and I can honestly say that this device should be used across the NHS as it has helped me tremendously. The sticky patchs and probes help ease the body pain and the ear clips with the anxiety and depression, a major benefit is the help the device has given me in obtaining a regular normal sleep pattern!! Thank you alpha stim please keep helping people carry on fighting.”
Anthony SmallJune 2017
“I have had Alpha Stim M for almost 2 years now. It has really fulfilled my expectations and being so lightweight and portable, it's simply a great way to be prepared and to always have with you all the things you might need. The instructions are very clear and exhaustive so that you can start using the device immediately and no extensive training is necessary even for advanced cases. And there are several treatment approachesso one is never at loss how to approach this. What I liked most, though, is the easy and practical convenience of the automated programs. I have used the device successfully for pain, headaches, backache, insomnia, and wound healing. Don't know how I would have done without it!”
Ksenija MilicJune 2017

Barry ShevlinJune 2017
“I have been using the Alpha Stim for nearly 6 years now. I have used it virtually every morning and it has transformed my sleep patterns. It has also alleviated a lot of my night time pain and aching. There have been times when I have used the Alpha Stim patches for back pain, especially sacroiliac joint pain. The Alpha Stim dulled the pain so that I could get to sleep on those occasions. I had a lot of help and support at the beginning with using my Alpha Stim which I was grateful for. If I go more than 2 days without using the machine I notice the difference. I like the way the clip treatment sends me off into a doze from which I awake quite refreshed. I would never want to be without my Alpha Stim so it travels everywhere with me. It has been by far the best thing I have used for my pain.”
Shirley FullerJune 2017
“I have a pain condition and I have been using the Alpha-Stim M for cranial therapy everyday for the past 2 years. I can honestly say it is a life changer, it improves my mood and sleep and therefore helps with the fatigue and pain. I still get the odd mild flair up if I have over done things but my recovery is much quicker and I have not had a major flair up since I have been using it. I take it everywhere with me.”
Caroline BrooksJune 2017
“purchased for my wife for both chronic pain management and help with stress and anxiety following a prolonged period of ill health. The machine has been successful in helping to reduce the levels of pain and improving demeanour. It also has helped with relaxation and the ability to sleep better. I would recommend the use of Alpha Stim M, experience life again.”
C JonesJune 2017
“My son bought my Alpha Stim about 4 yrs ago, I find this machine magical as it has helped me mentally and physically. I keep topping up every week or so! I've told my GP about it and he said he would give it some thought. I found helpful for pain, it's not a cure but eases so much pain.”
N WhittleJune 2017
“Brilliant product that has helped control my pain levels as well as improve my mood and sleep patterns. Don't think I could be without this little thing now!”
Caroline DaviesJune 2017
“I have been using my alpha stim for over 2 years and still find it invaluable. I bought it because I had low mood, which lifted almost immediately. It has also helped with much more. My sleep is better and after having an operation on my knee, the alpha stim helped with pain relief and I think healing.”
Jacqueline QuinnJune 2017
“My Alpha Stim has been absolutely wonderful for managing the OA pain I get in my hands; but also short term pain like a broken bone in my foot, or a shoulder injury.”
J TuckerJune 2017
“As someone who has a few health conditions, l tend to try a variety of products in an attempt to somehow improve my quality of life, and get an element of myself and my life back. The Alpha-Stim was something l heard about and researched. Having made my decision to go ahead and buy it, l have not looked back. I feel it has eased my chronic pain and mental health which has been amazing having suffered for so long. It too has aided my anxiety and depression, and as a result has improved my energy levels slightly therefore aiding my chronic fatigue and sleeplessness. All round, l.find it being of benefit to me and would recommend it to those who feel they would like to break out of the vicious cycle they find themselves in.”
F ShukruJune 2017
“ I use the Micro-Stim for pain relief, anxiety, insomnia and depression. It has made an enormous difference to my life. I no longer suffer as acutely as I did and am able to function each day to a reasonable level. My sleep has improved, as has my anxiety and depression. It provides a feeling of relaxation that is hard to come by. My condition is extremely unpredictable and my pain levels can vary from one day to the next. The Alpha-Stim allows me to target specific areas and gives relief where painkillers do not.”
Katie McLaughlinJune 2017
“I have been using it as a treatment for chronic pain for several years now, in sessions of minimum three weeks at a time. I always found it very effective. Certainly more effective than any pharmacological treatment.”
K PytaszJune 2017
“I was very pleased to receive the new Alpha Stim quickly and so beautifully packed and presented. I have used the older machine for over 5 years and have found it very helpful with pain relief and I hope that the new model will prove to be even better.”
Christine WiltshireJune 2017
“I have had the alpha stim m for 4 months now and use the earflaps every morning to help with anxiety. I find this really helps keep me calm. i have as been using the sticky pads for back pain and have found this very helpful too. I would highly recommend this model and the team who helped take me through how to use it and how best to use it for my individual needs.”
FelicitySeptember 2015
“We use the Alpha Stim unit for a range of soft tissue, bone and nerve injuries and have had good success. It is a safe, efficient and clinically effective tool that we now use on a regular basis.”
Everton FCOctober 2015
“My finger has more or less retained the benefits of having used the device on an almost daily basis for a few weeks, but I am sure that it is capable of further improvement; the joint is still slightly swollen and with a degree of residual stiffness and pain, though much less than previously. Having Pain in my hands and recurrent trigger fingers has been very troublesome for some time. The reduced pain and increased mobility I now enjoy make a huge difference to me and I am extremely grateful to you.”
LesleySeptember 2014
“I have been using the Alpha Stim M now for the last two years to treat pain and anxiety. I feel that I have so far benefited from using a lower setting to help deal with anxiety and depression and use the Alpha Stim in conjunction with other lifestyle, diet and alternative therapies in order to help manage my illness and continue to fulfil my roles and responsibilities. I use the alpha stim daily and know there is more scope to increase the settings and type of pain relief attachments as time and my condition moves on ; hence I believe it is a good long term investment and I will continue to use it as my condition progresses. The staff have been very helpful in assisting with any queries and offering advice and all in all I feel as though I have made a good investment.”

“First time in 10 years that I have been free from pain. I have 2 prolapsed discs and have been suffering from excruciating sciatica for years - some of the time I could 'live with the pain' but I have had long periods when the pain was so intense that I could do nothing other than dose up on strong medication and do nothing else. I couldn't drive my car, go to work, sit up, walk - well the list goes on. Earlier this year I had severe sciatica coupled with muscle spasms that lasted for hours, the pain was so bad that on one occasion I passed out. I knew I had to do something, especially as I do not like the idea of surgery, so I thought I would try an acupuncturist rather than going back to an osteopath - am I glad that I did, It was Annya Stoddart who first used the Alpha-Stim on me to help reduce the pain and when I was going through sleepless nights due to muscle spasms she lent me an Alpha-Stim - which, much to my amazement and skepticism, worked so very well and 1 week later mine arrived. I know my discs are no better and my left foot is still partially numb but as I say for the first time in 10 years I am free from pain and I can live my life again and do all the things that I have been unable to do for years - even the garden is being de-weeded!!! I recommend Alpha-Stim to everyone that I meet who is suffering from back pain. I really don't know how it works but am I truly thankful that it does and that you can pay via installments.”

“ My spinal cord and both nerve root exits were badly compressed so it affected every nerve and muscle in my body. I have had 2 operations to try and take the pressure of my spinal cord but I was left with bad nerve damage. I have been on very high pain medication and it has helped me to cope with the pain as best I could. I belong to a pain support group that were offerered a trial of the Alpha-Stim in Feb this year. I signed up to it as I am more than happy to try anything that could help with the pain. I struggle with walking because of the pain and my hands are in constent pain and sometimes my fingers become to stiff to move. As soon as I started to use the Alpha-Stim M I could feel the benefit of it and by the end of the second week of using it my pain levels were going down. During the following 2 weeks I started to reduce my pain medication and my pain levels were still going down. It was bad enough that I had to give up work but the pain in my hands had also stopped me cooking and that is something I have always loved doing. By the 3rd week of the trial I was back in the kitchen and cooking meals without the pain I would have suffered before so my wife is happy too. By the end of the trial my pain levels had been halved and I had cut my pain medication by a quarter. The people at Microcurrent were very helpful with questions and nothing seemed to be any trouble to them. At the end of the trial I had no hesitation about buying the Alpha-Stim M and I highly recommend this device to anyone with severe pain issues as the Alpha-Stim M does what it says on the tin. So thank you to all at the Microcurrent Site.”

“Like most people in retirement I started getting aches and pains which I had not experienced before, for example, getting up out of a chair, walking very far, and getting out of bed. I was diagnosed as having Pain condition in my hips and knees .I purchased a micro-current machine and almost immediately felt the easing of my affected joints. I continue to use the machine and am gradually coming to grips with my ailments.”

“I had been taking strong pain medication daily for the past seven years, after suffering for many years with painful joints, my knees, back, shoulders and neck pain, when I developed ulcers in my stomach, due to the medications, as a result of this I can no longer take anything stronger than paracetamol. The pain I had to live with was unbearable, I started to look into alternatives, and came across Alpha-Stim I decided I had nothing to lose, and ordered one of the Alpha-Stim M machines . I am happy to say it has given me so much relief from my pains, I can now walk up and down stairs, bend down, get up out of the chair, everything I have struggled with over the years.”

“I am using the machine to reduce the pain in my lower back which is caused by age related general wear on my disks at the bottom of my spine ( L5 region) due to many years of computer use. I felt a significant improvement in my back pain during the first session when using the probes as instructed in your literature and I have used the device either every day or every other day ever since purchase and the pain has remained at a very low level most of the time. I have used the earclips also, and again I felt the benefits in the areas for which the device is designed. I use it daily and find that it is convenient although the duracell batteries do not seem to last very long. I initially tried to use the probes in an effort to reduce tinnitus and TRIED to follow your technical guide. I found that there seems to be an ambiguity in that probe positions are shown on the ear lobe but the instructions say put the probes "an inch or so from the ear" Regarding the website, I noticed that at one point the current being passed through the body was said to be 500 amps (I cannot find the reference now ) . as a retired electrical engineer I am aware that you mean 500 microamps !!! The unit is rather expensive and I had some misgivings before buying about the fact that under the rent to buy scheme I would not be able to be certain that it worked before I bought it. Anyway I took a chance and I am glad that I did so.”

“I had my first experience of the AlphaStim today and was pleasantly surprised to get benefit from it almost immediately. Knee pain that had recently been worse at any other point in the last year was substantially relieved and aching in my back and leg reduced too. I’m looking forward to my next appointment to hopefully build on today’s positive result.”

“Prior to having acupuncture and Alpha-Stim® treatment I was not only in a great deal of physical pain, but also felt extremely stressed and exhausted. The pressures of modern day living and parenting were affecting my sleep, appetite and ability to function. I have received two Alpha-Stim® treatments coupled with acupuncture; the benefits thus far have been immeasurable. Initially; after the treatment has finished I leave feeling relaxed and centered. The mental exhaustion which is usually prevalent has been replaced by a sensation of wellbeing and positivity. I feel rejuvenated and free of physical pain; no longer daunted by the prospect of facing the week ahead, but ready to actively participate in it.”

“I have been suffering with acute knee pain and having tried all normal avenues i.e painkillers etc. but to no avail. I was recommended by my nutritionist to try acupuncture and Alpha-Stim® treatment. I have to admit I was sceptical at first but having had the treatment I was amazed at how quick the pain subsided and during the following week had eased considerably. I am now continuing the treatment and hope to ease the pain further. I can thoroughly recommend treatment.”

“After reading a bit about the results people have been getting in the US I decided to give it a go. The results were Amazing. I slept better than I had done in years and the general feeling of calm and wellbeing for the following week was startling. All this from a treatment that involved me effectively going to sleep for an hour. I have now recommended this treatment to all of my friends and family!”

“The treatment known as Alpha-Stim® was performed quickly, easily and with no fuss. My pain level dropped through the floor after just a few minutes. The pain had gone from being at a '7' to a '1' in no time at all. A mental inventory found I was now pain free for the first time in nearly four years.”
R WrightNov 2011
“As a patient who normally has difficulty responding to treatment, taking many consultations to progress on alienating symptoms, I have been pleased to find the Alpha-Stim treatment very effective in my first session. While conventional medicine practices generally inform me that they can find no physical reason for pain or symptoms (in this case nerve/toothache), this treatment focused on sending messages to the nerve system and brain in order to change the symptoms of pain that I was experiencing. I was very satisfied with the results after only one session.”

“I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to the Alpha Stim 100. I really can't believe that it's effects were so rapid. One comes to expect cycles of depression however because I used the machine whilst on the downward spiral the effects were very noticeable. I felt much better within 2 days and by the end of the week I was as bright as a button. My back had been playing up quite a lot too, so I used the probes and it eased quite a lot. After a few days of treatment the pain was completely gone and this after months of suffering practically non stop! I left off the treatment and a couple of weeks later my back started to ache again, so out came the alpha stim. One treatment got rid of the pain but this time I kept using the machine for a while. I didn't think there'd ever be anything that would bring this sort of relief and I'm so grateful, so thanks again.”

“I can't be without it! I missed about 3 evenings using it because of dinner invitations etc and I really paid for it. It took me about three consecutive evenings to get back to where I had been with it. It's an absolutely amazing machine”

“With continuing daily use I hope to carry on improving and help my symptoms with Alpha-Stim®. I'm already needing less analgesia. S Kelly February 2011 I am indeed delighted to take this opportunity to endorse Alpha-Stim 100 as a most worthwhile purchase. The fact is that after a serious accident 1 7 years ago I have lived with chronic back pain and leg pain which has been relived only to a limited degree by strong prescription analgesia. I have also used a TENS device with limited success. Last August I purchased an Alpha-Stim 100 and the pain relief I have experienced is dramatic and long lasting. It has enabled me to regularly reduce analgesia. I would commend this machine to anyone in chronic pain.”
