Annihilate Anxiety with The Alpha-Stim Aid –The Ultimate “Stress Reduction -Immersive Meditation Device”
The change from Spring to Summer always brings a nice sense of calm. It’s a time when we intend to leave the stressors of everyday life behind. However, it’s not so easy to relax and enjoy when you suffer from an Anxiety disorder. In today’s fast-paced, post covid world- Anxiety disorders are at an all-time high for all age groups, including students, the workforce, and the elderly. Distressing anxiety disorders can lead to other serious health issues if left untreated.
Effective RX- drug treatments exist; however, many patients feel embarrassed taking them, while others don’t respond or have excessive unwanted side effects.
For today’s young students, the stress and pressure of Academic success is also at an all-time high. And the problem is that only a relatively low proportion of HS & University students seek help for anxiety and depression disorders, partly because they dislike current drug and psychological treatment options, feel stigmatized, and prefer Non-Rx home-based care. Mindfulness-based interventions, such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), are becoming extremely popular and can significantly decrease anxiety.
In a recent study published last Fall in JAMA Psychiatry, a group of 276 adults with untreated anxiety disorders were monitored and randomly assigned into 2-distinct groups. Half of the patients were randomly selected to take 10 to 20 mg of escitalopram, the generic form of Lexapro, a common medication used to treat anxiety and depression. The other half were assigned to an eight-week course in mindfulness-based stress reduction. The results were stunning: Both groups experienced approximately a 20% reduction in anxiety symptoms over eight weeks. Similarly, A study published in the American Journal of Nursing in 2011 found that an eight-week mindfulness program was just as effective as antidepressants for preventing a relapse of depression.
Elizabeth Hoge, the study’s lead author and the director of the Anxiety Disorders Research Program at Georgetown University Medical Center, told CNN that she hopes the research can open up more treatment options for patients with anxiety. “Lexapro is a great drug; I prescribe it a lot,” she said. “But it’s not for everyone.” For instance, Hoge says, Meditation could be prescribed instead of medication for patients who experience severe side effects or have allergies to anti-anxiety drugs. And starting Meditation could also be a first step for people with untreated anxiety and are wary of medication.
The Alpha-Stim Aid (FDA approved- Class II med device) is an Absolute “Anxiety Annihilator”- which, used alone or in conjunction with a consistent immersive mediation practice will absolutely reduce even the toughest of anxiety disorders.
A form of Neurobiomodualtion or The Alpha-Stim Aid device sends a patented, extremely safe – low electro-current through tiny ear-clips performing what’s referred to as Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation or (CES). With great efficacy and a side effect profile of less than 1%, The Alpha-Stim Aid simply stimulates Alpha-Brain Waves while slightly decreasing Delta waves, causing a very calm and restful state of mindfulness.
“I use it all the time”, states Todd Schuck, Founder and CEO of Alpha Brain Health of New England, a Connecticut-based- Public Benefit Company that Distributes the Alpha-Stim Device to licensed Behavioral Healthcare practitioners. “With work pressures, sending 2-kids off to College, and the ridiculous costs of higher education – you tend to get a little stressed out – not to mention all the pressures of finding the right College and trusting that the right school is chosen, etc. The Alpha-Stim Aid device has helped me immensely- After a tough bout with Covid- having lost my taste and smell for over a month- I was left with a rough case of brain fog. I found it difficult to concentrate. After using the Alpha-Stim Aid consistently for 3- weeks, I found myself happier and thinking more clearly than ever before. I mostly use it at the gym- while on an Elliptical and in the Sauna- while listening to a Mindful Guided Mediation.”
