BTW - my wife has one of those electreat devices. She used it to restore badly burned hand back to normal condition.  She has used the the Electreat for many other nerve maladies and it does restore normal nerve conditions. The Russians did extensive testing of using high voltage low current in many medical situations and found that the HV does help restore and heal the body. The American drug cartel has been very effective in keeping many very good alternative treatments off the market in favor of using high priced drugs to cause more problems than they help.

Hi goldfinder,
electreat?
I looked it up, and it seems to have an interesting history, similar to dowsing.
It seems the principle of using high voltage stimulation to treat nerve problems began back in ancient Mesopotamia to treat transient pain. Pain victims were exposed to torpedo fish (electric eels) to numb their nerves where it hurts. Then after batteries were invented, experimenters tried inducing currents under the skin to numb nerves. Up until this time, electricity was used as an anasthetic. But by the middle 1800s people were manufacturing electric stimulators which were claimed to cure all kinds of maladies. It was the beginning of the snake oil era. By 1919 the electreat version was patented by Charles Willie Kent and sold (estimated 250,000 units) for home remedy of a number of ailments. Following passage of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act in 1938, Kent was the first individual prosecuted by the U.S. government for making unsubstantiated medical claims and the Electreat company was then forced to limit their claims to pain relief alone.
Today, the electrical stimulators are still being manufactured and used by private citizens as well as in hospitals. Apparently the medical community considers they have some anasthetic value. But these are also used by alternative medical practitioners which include acupuncturists who sometimes attach electrodes to their acupuncture needles. And home users often swear by the great theraputic results they see from using these electric stimulators. From what I can see, it looks like these electric stimulators have a history which runs parallel to the history of dowsing, and they have a similar controversy today, as they are still being used by small numbers as an alternative to mainstream medical treatments. And we also see similar opposing viewpoints about the medical value of these stimulators.
