Using the MAD-1 micro- therapy unit to treat weight problems.

The MAD-1 is not a miracle cure. You cannot just stick it on and become thin.. sorry..., but it can be an invaluable tool if you are serious about loosing weight but have experienced difficulties because cravings, binge eating and over eating are continually being triggered by stress, anxiety, depression or even anger, which is not as uncommon as you would think.

If you have been looking for ways to try and control your weight you will undoubtedly be aware of the change in emphasis from "strange diets" to "resolving issues".

Weight loss is no longer so much about what you eat, but why you over eat.

There are now many programmes available that help you with the psychology of weight loss. These psychological strategies are based around identifying the emotional triggers to our damaging eating behaviours and they usually suggest alternative actions, such as reading a book or going for a walk, that we can carry out instead of going along with our habits.

However, this "alternative activity" approach typically fails because we cannot find an "alternative activity" that provides us with the same level of emotional comfort as food, (for many reading a book or going for a walk just doesn't cut it) and therefore we return to our over eating habit.

The MAD-1 provides the solution to emotional over eating

This is where the MAD-1 comes into its own as it provides an effective treatment for over eating, by helping us to change the way we are feeling, therefore eliminating the need to return to food for emotional relief and comfort.

How does the MAD-1 work?

The MAD-1 is used on traditional acupuncture points to quickly and effectively change our emotional state, therefore vastly reducing our need to reach for food to change our mood for us.

Acupuncture has been successfully utilised to treat emotional disorders for many years and due to advances in modern scientific research it is now becoming clear exactly why acupuncture has been such an effective treatment. Recent studies into how acupuncture treatments work have revealed that acupuncture treatments directly effect the levels of our neurotransmitters that are responsible for our emotional state.

Unfortunately, acupuncture as a self help form of treatment has obvious limitations. The MAD-1 was specifically researched and designed to overcome all the limitations of traditional acupuncture and at last bring acupuncture into the 21st Century by utilising the latest advances in micro-technology.

The Science of the MAD-1 micro-therapy unit

The MAD-1 is a tiny and sophisticated microelectronic therapy unit that works in a completely unique way. It does not work like a TENS machine or like any other acupuncture point stimulator that is available. Most of these devices just produce electric shocks, which are applied to the surface of the skin and do not reproduce the same therapeutic effects of inserting a needle.

In complete contrast the MAD-1 emits a very specific type of pulsed electromagnetic wave that produces exactly the same effects as the deep insertion of an acupuncture needle.

Many people are tempted to try acupuncture therapy with cheap "electric shock" type stimulators and are very often disappointed with the results of treatment. Hand held "electric shock" type stimulators do not reproduce the same unique physiological effects as the insertion of needles and therefore do not reproduce the same therapeutic effects.

Controlling your weight and your emotions with the MAD-1 micro-therapy unit.

You do not need to be a professional acupuncturist to effectively treat yourself with the MAD-1, just as you do not need a degree in medicine to know how and when to take an aspirin for a headache. The MAD-1 is easy to use and the handbook that comes with it, simply and concisely explains how to use the devices to provide effective treatments that are tailor-made to treat your individual pattern of symptoms.

The effects of the MAD-1, just like traditional acupuncture, are accumulative i.e. they build up gradually with the more treatments that you have. However, for most people they start to take affect very quickly, usually within the first few treatments, and sometimes even within the first treatment.

The MAD-1s are attached to your skin via ultra-thin self-adhesive hypoallergenic pads (used for attaching it to the torso and legs) or with the custom made strap (which is used when wearing the device on your arm), both methods of attachment are included with the MAD-1. The devices are then just turned ON and left to do their job.

And there's more advantages to using the MAD-1

The actual act of reaching for the MAD-1, and finding the most suitable point to treat with it, interrupts, and hence starts to break the habitual pattern of behaviour. This combination of interrupting the habitual pattern of behaviour, whilst effectively treating the underlying emotional trigger, makes the MAD-1 an amazingly effective means of treating addictive and distructive behaviours.
