FSM - Frequency Specific Micro Current Treatment
A Practitioner has to have been trained in how to use the machines before being able to purchase them. I was fortunate enough to be trained personally by Dr McMakin in the Sept 2019 Core Seminar. I have done this Core 3 times since then and the Advanced Core twice as well. This is recommended by her for updating knowledge, frequency use and protocols. The FSM knowledge bank is discussed in the light of the current use of them because doctor's experience better techniques or combinations in the frequency use.
What most people want to know about Frequency Specific Micro current is where the frequencies came from. They were developed in the early 1900's probably from about 1908 and used by thousands of physicians until 1934. Harry Van Gelder was an Osteopath who bought a practice in 1946, and it came with a machine and with a list of frequencies that were created in 1922. In 1934 the American Medical Association finally cracked down and said any medical physicians who use electromagnetic therapies and frequencies would lose their license to practice which at that time was granted by the AMA. So the machines went in the back room, got covered up by a sheet and some of them went on a trash heap. All of the research that went into developing the frequencies list in 1922, is all gone.
The list of frequencies was resurrected in 1995 when Dr George Douglas got the list from Dr Van Gelder in 1981. George gave it to Dr Carolyn McMakin in 1995 when she started practice. George got her a precision micro current two channel machine. She started using the list to treat patients in 1995. She started using the frequencies for myofascial trigger points/myofascial pain in 1996 and had such tremendous outcomes that she decided to teach it in 1997 and, January 97 was the first class. She found that the outcomes were reproducible. She has no idea how the frequencies were derived, or where they came from.
The 1920's equipment was not micro current, it was a plug in the wall device. The wall current in 1920 was direct current basically like the big battery. That kind of current stopped being used when Westinghouse won and everything was powered by AC current. Today these magnetic devices are powered by DC currents. So that's where the equipment format comes from.

The machines or generators use a frequency that is so low it is a one millionth of an ampere. This measurement is in hertz (Hz). The machines are dual channel generators which means that two separate types of frequencies are used. In treating pain for example- the frequency for inflammation is used on Channel A and then depending on where the inflammation is, that tissue frequency is used on Channel B. In using FSM to treat pain, it’s been found that various frequencies can be used to potentially reduce inflammation (swelling), repair tissue, and reduce pain. The human body actually produces its own current within each cell.
Specific frequencies are selected to encourage natural healing of the body. Frequencies have been identified for nearly every type of tissue in the body. One of the ways FSM works is by potentially increasing the production of the substance ATP in injured tissues. ATP is the major source of energy for all cellular reactions in the body. Because treatment with FSM can increase ATP production by as much as 500% in damaged tissues, this may help with the recovery process. The currents used in FSM are so low that the patient often does not feel them. During FSM treatment, patients may notice certain effects, including warmth and a softening of affected tissues.
Depending on the condition, treatment with FSM can “loosen” or soften the muscles, which can help relieve pain and/or stiffness. The conditionsit can treat are varied:
FSM is most often used to treat pain, especially nerve and muscle pain, inflammation, and scar tissue, from the following conditions: Shingles Burns Kidney stones Asthma Irritable bowel syndrome Disc injuries Fibromyalgia Diabetic neuropathy Neuromas (overgrowth and scarring to a nerve after an injury) Tendinopathy (inflammation and/or swelling of the tendon) Acute (sudden) and chronic (long-term) musculoskeletal injuries Acute and chronic neuropathic (nerve) pain Chronic fracture and bone pain Arthritis Torticollis (the head is tilted to one side) Disc injuries/discogenic- and facet-based pain Viscerally-referred pain Concussions Headaches Plantar fasciitis (pain in the heel and foot) Sports injuries Wounds. Treatment with FSM is non-invasive and painless.
Case Report of Dr McMakin using FSM on Terrell Owens in 2004.
Problems in medicine is how you heal injuries? How do you repair from surgery? And how do you heal wounds? Healing takes time, the healing is uncertain, sometimes it's slow, pain is a problem, inflammation is a problem, rate of repair is a problem. So the limits most patients have is ATP production in the cells. How much blood supply can you make to take care of or create blood supply to the new and repair tissue? How do you make that new tissue elastic or stretchy and how do you make it solid. Those are the limitations, collagen, elastin, blood vessels, and basic energy supplies. So what would happen to healing if you didn’t have to worry about ATP production or energy supplies? Microcurrent, the basic science behind it has been shown to increase ATP production by 500% as long as the current is below 500 microamps. It also increased cyclic AMP in human lymphocytes and lymphocytes vivo, that means the cell is increasing its energy supply and metabolism. Dr McMakin's FSM approach is used by probably 6 or 8 NFL teams and NHL teams, one major league baseball team and probably 200 and some odd professional players in different sports and Olympic athlete and some military folks. So the use of FSM in treating new injuries is really profound.
In for example fibromyalgia patients- Dr McMakin's studies reveal all experienced pain relief 58% of them experienced resolution of fibromyalgia within 4 months and then 13 of the 53 discontinued treatment for reasons unrelated to treatment side effects. What does actually happen is if your pains have been a 7 out of 10 for 14 years and it goes to a 0 in ninety minutes at the end of ninety minutes you have an existential crisis that’s sort of unprecedented in medicine. Patient's can be typically 18 years with chronic fibromyalgia. the frequency 40 Hz on channel A and anything on channel B, slams the inflammation down by 62% or 30% but it only keeps it down for about six hours. When the cells come back however to normal function, they never seem to produce as much inflammation as they did before. So the application of the frequencies appears to change the way the immune system functions. So even though they LOX and COX, the prostaglandins are only reduced for let’s say 6 to 8 hours. When they come back, they come back at normal levels or more normal levels. So it’s an extraordinary advance and a treatment of all degenerative diseases and all inflammatory diseases.

Depression, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress and other issues.
The PTSD protocol has been used since 2005 and has been successfully used for 11 years in hundreds of offices and on hundreds of patients, even war veterans who have not changed after the 2 year program of help they receive. In general the nightmares, anxiety, and flashbacks disappear after the first few sessions. The rest of the symptoms are generally gone by session 6 or 7. We recommend 8 sessions in total just for thoroughness. PTSD test scores are reduced towards normal after 4 sessions.
Emotional Frequencies will include treating the following types of states:
nervous tension, anger, aggression, fear, terror, defensiveness, fixed ideas, frustration, grief, hurt feelings, irrational throught, worry, anxiety, life has lost it's sweetness and feeling lost or abandonment.
Depression is a separate program with it's own combination of frequencies. These all help but remember emotions are layered and combined. It is recommended that if you are under a Doctor's care - use with caution and consult your physician, councellor or therapist.
Functional medicine takes too long and it costs too much. They get extraordinary outcomes in 12 to 14 months. Their supplements and dietary restrictions and even some of the medication takes time and costs too much. But Frequency Specific Micro current works immediately to reduce the pain, increase ATP energy and reduce inflammation. FSM works immediately but it needs functional medicine to create lasting and stable improvements. So what functional medicine approaches can do in 12 to 14 months frequency specific micro current can do in 6 to 12 weeks. the following conditions are not a problem in FSM -irritable bowels, Crohn even asthma's. In 6 to 12 weeks most patients are what they would think of as recovered or 80% improved.
Scar tissue you can mask it for three years and it's very hard to remodel. In general, treatment is either difficult or impossible. Treating neuropathic pain in the medical world involves medication that makes you feel stupid as they interfere with cognitive function, they make you kind of slow mentally because most of them are anti-seizure medications and nerve pain in the FSM community is one of the easiest things they treat. As well as fibrosis, scarring is dissolved and an increase in the range in motion is immediate.
Scarring Frequencies do not do anything for pain or swelling because it doesn’t do anything for inflammation, it’s just treats scarring. The Frequency to stop hemorrhage, stops bleeding and pain in the menses and prevents bruising in new injuries but isn't good for anything else. So post-operative patients don’t bruise, it’s kind of extraordinary. Mineral ion deposit, soften tissue, reduce pain, some changes in range of motion. Frequencies for shingles or herpes is only good for that -it reduces the pain prevents the lesions from breaking out. If the lesions have already appeared in the first two to three weeks it will eliminate the lesions in 24 to 48 hours and it will eliminate the pain. Frequency for kidney stone pain has been effective in every case but it’s not useful for any other condition that’s the only thing it’s good for. So the frequency specific effect is quite extraordinary, and Specific.
FSM or frequency specific micro current will change your life whether you’re a practitioner or a patient.
