Will the AlphaSonic help me feel better?2019-06-24T12:12:51-07:00

Short Answer:  Over the course of decades, it is rare that a person does not respond well to AlphaSonic.

Long Answer: Every individual is unique and has . When circulation improves, stress reduces, spasm softens, pain reduces, the body tends to feel better.  You may also notice improvements in your general health, sleep, appetite, energy, and a feeling of well-being. In controlled studies using racehorses as test subjects, ALL subjects (100%) were noted to have improved appetites, attitudes and faster training times with shorter recovery times (in addition to lowering elevating blood enzymes and elevated thermal gradients).

How do I recharge the AlphaSonic and how long does the charge last for?2019-06-24T12:07:20-07:00

Short Answer: The AlphaSonic charges on a USB cord that can be plugged into any USB port. Battery life depends on how the device is being used.

Long Answer: Recharge your AlphaSonic by plugging the USB cord into any USB port. A red light will appear on the control panel and will turn off when the device is fully charged. You may also use it while it is being charged. The battery life will vary depending on the settings and number of transducers being used. All units are “seasoned” before being shipped to help ensure their longest run times.

What can I expect to “feel” or experience during or after an application?2019-06-24T12:06:17-07:00

Short Answer: Hopefully you will start to feel better! Some AlphaSonic users immediately feel the effects of using the device, reporting having felt mental clarity, alertness, energized, relaxed and even sleepy. However, it may take some users time using the device before they begin to feel the effects.

Long Answer: Better, hopefully. Everyone is different and has different response rates depending on their situation. Someone who is in great shape may experience more mental clarity, a greater sense of calm, alertness and more energy. Someone who is stressed may feel more relaxed. Some may even drift off to sleep.

You may or may not feel anything on your initial or first few applications. This is also normal and does not mean that the device is not working. As circulation increases throughout the body, changes start taking place on various levels. People who are well hydrated get faster results and have greater sensations of circulation moving throughout their body.

What types of studies or other objective data is behind AlphaSonic?2020-07-10T10:06:06-07:00

Short Answer: Infrared thermography, blood serum analysis of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and aspartate transaminase (AST), surface EMGs, ultrasounds and X-rays have all been used to analyze and measure the improvement of the body after using the AlphaSonic.  >>>> See our page Scientific Data.

            Long Answer: There have been several studies used to measure the aid of the AlphaSonic, including:

  1. Infrared thermography studies have shown dramatic reduction in thermal gradients (measures surface temperatures indicating heat). Medical infrared imaging (MIR) entails the use of high-resolution infrared cameras and sophisticated computer processing to produce a topographic heat map display, which bears a resemblance to the visible image of the body. MIR is applied in the clinical environment as an aid in the diagnostic process. It is used for the thermal analysis of patients with various conditions in acute, chronic and preventative health care.

  1. Blood serum analysis of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and Aspartate transaminase (AST). Studies revealed dramatic reduction of elevated levels of both CPK and AST within 24 hours of AlphaSonic application. CPK enzymes are found in muscle, including the heart. These enzymes can rise due to falls, injury, heart attack, workouts, or inflammation in muscles (myositis). (Source: https://www.sharecare.com/health/lab-tests/what-have-high-cpk-reading)

AST enzymes are found in muscle and the liver. Higher-than-normal AST levels may be caused by:

  • Chronic hepatitis
  • Cirrhosis (long-term damage and scarring of the liver)
  • Blockage in the bile ducts that carry digestive fluid from the liver to the gallbladder and intestine
  • Liver cancer

Extremely high AST levels can be caused by:

  • Acute viral hepatitis
  • Damage to the liver from drugs or other toxic substances
  • A blockage in blood flow to the liver

Your doctor might also compare your AST and ALT levels. If you have liver disease, your ALT level will usually be higher than your AST level.

Other conditions not tied to the liver but that can also raise your AST level include:

  1. Surface EMG– detects electrical activity in nerve/muscle. Surface EMG have shown decreases of highly elevated activity after use of the AlphaSonic (e.g. spasm associated with sciatica). Since it’s so portable you can take it to your doctor and have this measured.

The following is an excerpt from: https://www.hss.edu/conditions_emg-testing-a-patient-guide.asp

If you have numbness, decreased sensation, tingling, radiating pain or burning, your doctor may refer you for an EMG. Symptoms such as muscle spasms, weakness and difficulty buttoning clothes, handling objects or walking may also indicate the need for an EMG. Conditions that EMG testing helps diagnose include carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, radiculopathy, sciatica, neuropathies, muscle diseases, muscular dystrophy, Lou Gehrig’s disease and myasthenia gravis.

  1. Ultrasounds– detects scar tissue thickness, fluid and adhesions. Ultrasounds of before and after cases can be seen in our members area>>>>
  2. X-Rays– detect fractures, breaks and bone loss. X-rays in both people and animals have revealed very good results and can be viewed in our members area>>>>>
