What is CES?
CES Innovation Bringing Relief from Depression, Anxiety, and Insomnia
CES (Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation) is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s term for a medical treatment employing small currents of electricity for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Now you can achieve a state of relaxation, peace of mind, and restful sleep, without resorting to drugs.
Feel Better, Sleep Better, Quickly and Safely with CES – Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation
Research in the last few decades has helped professionals better understand the connection between brain function, neurotransmitters, and electrical stimulation. We have learned that the electrical activity in your brain controls the neurochemicals which regulate your moods, emotions, sleep, and cognition. Stress causes that electrical activity to not function properly. This in turn results in the neurochemicals falling out of balance. By indirectly stimulating brain tissue in the hypothalamic area, CES causes the brain to restore the various neurochemicals back to pre-stress homeostasis, resulting in a peaceful, centered, and efficient state of being.
CES is both safe and effective. Published literature on the subject does not report any negative effects or major contraindications from its use. Most people experience results within just a few days. The relaxed-but-alert state usually remains for an average of 12 to 72 hours after the first few sessions. CES can be used as much or as often an you desire.
Contact us today to learn more about how much better you can feel with Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation by the well-researched CES Ultra medical device.
CES is the doorway to good health. It works as an important adjunct in programs invoking nutrients, hormones, and medications. Its multiplicity of health benefits include: induction of relaxation response; exertion of control over frontal lobe behavior and modulating hormone levels…When amino acid supplementation is coupled with CES therapy, this combination is a potentially potent therapeutic regimen for anti-aging.

CES & Anxiety
Ending Anxiety’s Vicious Cycle Simply and Effectively with
Breakthrough CES Treatment
Now, at last, you have a drug-free way to end the vicious cycle of anxiety. Those caught in the cycle know all too well how anxiety leads to depression, depression leads to insomnia, and both increase anxiety.
CES – A Proven Way to Find Relief From Anxiety
The successful way to end anxiety is to treat the problem directly, not simply treat the symptoms. Your neurochemistry (NC) is slightly different from everyone else’s. When your NC is in proper balance, you feel great. Prolonged stress, however, can change your optimum neurochemistry and result in long-term struggles with anxiety.
Feel peaceful once again. The proven medical treatment of Cranial Electrical Stimulation (CES) rebalances your brain’s chemistry. Many people report feeling relief from the very first time they use the CES Ultra. Your brain chemistry rebalances while anxiety plummets. And unlike drugs, CES is so safe, you can use it as much as you want.
Taking Back Control of Your Life without Drugs
Now you have the power achieve peace of mind and move forward with your life. Make a wise investment in your health and feel the tension and worry drain away with the CES Ultra solution.
CES & Depression
Relaxation and Peace of Mind for People Dealing with Depression –
Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation
Long-term depression happens over a period of time, but now you can get your brain to work for you again. The CES Ultra, using Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES), can bring you true relief. It’s a proven way to treat feelings of depression—without using drugs. Studies show that approximately 70% of people with depression who use the CES Ultra find 70% relief of their symptoms.
You can use the CES Ultra while still on your medication. In fact, don’t go off your medication until your doctor says so. With the CES Ultra, you have personalized telephone support to ensure that you get the full relief and results. CES has no withdrawal symptoms, as most drugs do.
Finding Relaxation and Peace of Mind
Is your life not as fulfilling as you’d like it to be?
Do you feel empty, angry, lonely, or just tired all the time?
Wish you had more zest in your day?
Has life lost the meaning it used to have for you?
It may seem like you’re alone, but your struggle with depression is not unique. People who are depressed need a safe way to restore the neurochemistry (NC) of their central nervous system.
Depression and Neurochemistry
Depression is a chemical habit of the brain. Everyone’s neurochemistry (NC) is slightly different, but everyone is addicted to their own NC. If your NC is that of a depressed person, you need to reverse it. Your brain needs to learn how to go back where it was and start making the NC it used to make. With CES, your brain will remember how to make what it needs. Once your brain’s receptors start calling for the rebalanced levels, you’ll return what was normal for you in the past. Your depression will ebb away.
CES & Insomnia
Finding Restful Sleep through CES, the Drug-Free Remedy for Insomnia
Do you have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep? Do you awaken several times during the night and then drag through the day with no energy? Do you often wake up more tired than when you went to bed? Do sleeping pills fail to give you the sleep you crave—and then you feel drowsy from drugs in your system?
Restoring Your Brain’s Neurochemistry Through CES
You’re not alone. But now you can enjoy restful sleep with CES (Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation). Even if you’ve suffered from insomnia for years and your brain’s neurochemistry (NC) has become severely out of balance, CES can get you back into a new way of thinking and feeling. You need to change your brain’s neurochemistry and rehabituate to the proper level. You can do that by treating the problem, not just treating your symptoms.
As with depression and anxiety, insomnia creeps up on you gradually. It took time to get to where you are now, and it’ll take a little time to get back. But now you have real hope of sleeping soundly once again. You can look forward to getting the rest that you deserve.
One medical treatment center reports that after just one week of using the CES Ultra, insomnia patients are sleeping twice as long as before. After 3 weeks, they generally sleep at least 5½ hours at a time. After one month of using the CES Ultra, they’re sleeping around 7 hours per night.
Get Support from Experts Who Care
Everyone who purchases the CES Ultra has access to full telephone support from the professionals at Neuro-Fitness, LLC. Ask us your questions or discuss your concerns. Get help adjusting the treatment to your specific situation so you can achieve maximum results.
You have nothing to lose and a world of restful, refreshing sleep to gain. Contact us today to learn more about how you can say “good-night” to insomnia and “good morning” to feeling great once again.
CES & PTSD
The Problem
Tens of thousands of Iraqi and Afghan veterans have returned home from the wars with a debilitating condition: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The VA is at loose ends about how to deal with a mental health crisis that is ruining not only the lives of returning veterans, but those of their families and friends as well. Drug therapy, which is the main way they have treated the problem, has proven to be not only ineffective, but has worsened the situation, triggering an extraordinary spike in substance abuse, leading to violent behaviors and suicide.
An Answer?
Fortunately, there is a non-drug option with a proven track record in treating anxiety, depression, and insomnia which are the primary symptoms of PTSD. It’s called cranial electrotherapy stimulation, or CES. It’s an electronic device that is simple to use, has no side effects, and has been validated by decades of research. CES is currently being prescribed for active duty personnel returning from the mid-east at the Warrior Combat Stress Reset Program at Ft. Hood, TX, at Ft. Campbell, KY, Ft. Joint Ft Lewis-McChord, WA, at the Bremerton WA Naval Hospital, as well as in combat conditions in Iraq and Afghanistan. It should not stop there.

“I purchased my CES Ultra for use in my clinic and for my personal use after reading about the Veteran’s Administration testing Cranial Electrical Stimulation for both depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in veterans. Since I am an Active Duty Army Physician Assistant serving with the 10th Mountain Division and later the 25th Combat Aviation Brigade on 3 deployments to Iraq, I treat many young Soldiers with both of those conditions. Using both professional psycho-therapy (standard talk therapy), SSRIs and CES Ultra I felt that we were giving our Soldiers the best possible therapies. Where no one therapy works for all conditions and all Soldiers, I felt that the more tools in my arsenal the better. All the Soldiers seem to like the immediate calming effects of the CES Ultra and many of the Soldiers commented that they slept much better on nights they got a session with the CES Ultra. I use it when doing office work and filling out patient’s charts and always feel more calm and focused and sleep better when I use it regularly. I recommend CES Ultra to anyone that has depression, or feels anxious or frazzle and wants a non-medication treatment for calming ones nerves and improving their sleep.”

CES & Stress
Stress Causes Discomfort, Disease, and Even Death…
How a New Technological Innovation Soothes away Stress Easily and Simply
When your body encounters stress, virtually all systems—heart, blood vessels, immune system, lungs, digestive system, sensory organs, your brain—are engaged to meet what is perceived as a threat. All systems are go.
Stress hits you from a variety of sources: highly pressured work, long-term relationship problems, poor self-esteem, loneliness, or persistent financial worries. Stress also comes from such varied events as the death of a loved one, the birth of a child, or a change in job or lifestyle. As a positive force, stress can cause us to grow, redefine ourselves, and urge us to take action. But negatively, it can result in feelings of distrust, rejection, anger, depression, and worse.
The Toll of Stress – Why You Need a Solution That Works
Stress is America’s number one health problem. According to the American Medical Association, stress is implicated in 80% of all illness, and stress-related problems account for 90% of our visits to primary-care physicians.
Left unchecked, stress is a killer. As reported in Newsweek, “A whole new body of research shows the damage stress wreaks on the body: not just heart disease and ulcers, but loss of memory, diminished immune function, and even a particular type of obesity. Stress is ubiquitous. A 1996 survey found that almost 75% of Americans have ‘great stress’ one day a week with one out of three indicating they feel this way more than twice a week.”
Stress affects you at home, in your relationships, and at work. The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work reported that over half the 550 million working days lost annually in the United States from absenteeism are stress related. The New York Times reported that “Workplace stress costs the nation more than $300 billion each year in health care and missed work.” 65% of workers said that workplace stress had caused difficulties and more than 10% described these as having major effects.
Stress Leads to Depression, Anxiety, Insomnia
Studies suggest that the inability to adapt to stress often leads to the onset of depression, anxiety, and insomnia. In one study, two-thirds of subjects who experienced a stressful situation had nearly six times the risk of developing depression within that month. Further evidence suggests that repeated release of stress hormone produces hyperactivity and disrupts normal levels of serotonin, the nerve chemical that is critical for feelings of well-being. Certainly, on a more obvious level, stress diminishes the quality of life by reducing feelings of pleasure and accomplishment and threatening relationships.
Restoring Balance to Body & Brain – Effectively and Efficiently
A myriad of approaches are presently available for the management and reduction of stress. There are cognitive learning skills, learned through counselors, others done in conjunction with cassette tapes or CDs of various kinds. As these skills take effect in the cognitive centers of the brain, the entire body gradually responds.
Other therapies focus more directly on the body. They include such modalities as muscle balancers and toners, massage, flotation tanks, and the like. In these therapies, the body responds directly, and the neurotransmitters of the brain respond gradually.
Among the most popular is altering brain chemistry through the use of pharmaceuticals. It is not without its problems however, including negative side effects and cost.
The most effective and efficient programs, such as CES , work with both the body and the brain, simultaneously bringing them back to a normal, balanced functioning. This approach has the added benefit of potentiation – work done on the body makes work intended to alter the brain’s neurochemistry proceed at a faster pace and vice versa.
Achieving Relaxation & Alertness with a Simple, Noninvasive Approach
CES (Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation) is a simple noninvasive approach to stress management. It employs mild battery-powered electrical stimulation through clip-on electrodes attached to the earlobes or pre-gelled electrodes placed behind the ears. Current flow is limited so that the most a user will experience during the process is a slight tingling sensation. CES gently adds energy back to all parts of the brain, helping return you to the optimum state in effect before stressors were activated.
CES’s most immediate impact is reduction of anxiety. For most, it is experienced in the course of treatment; for others, hours, or several days after. CES leaves you feeling both relaxed and alert. The effect differs from pharmaceutical treatments in that people report feeling their bodies as lighter and more relaxed and their mind more alert and clear. Results are cumulative and lasting.
Finding Relief with the Best CES Instrument on the Market
The CES Ultra is the most advanced CES instrument currently available. For those suffering from depression and anxiety, it means relief with none of the unpleasant side effects of prescription drugs. For those seeking nothing more than a good night’s sleep, it is an alternative to habit-forming tranquilizers. For a public increasingly concerned with the effects of stress on physical health and emotional well-being, it provides a way of addressing that stress in a safe and effective manner.

CES vs. Drugs
Genuine Relief from Anxiety, Depression, and Insomnia
with Drug-Free CES Therapy
Our first reaction to a medical problem is often prescription drugs. Their use, however, can often be dangerous and lead to a never-ending cycle of addiction. Now for the first time there is a real alternative, a way to find genuine relief from anxiety, depression, and insomnia without falling into a never-ending cycle of drug use. No more worries about contraindications, side effects, or lack of results. CES (Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation), is a safe and effective therapy that has been in use for over half a century, bringing relief to millions of sufferers without any of the dangers of side effects, overdose, or addiction.
Desperate Search for Relief Increases Popularity of Prescription Drugs
Central-nervous-system agents today constitute the fastest growing sector of the pharmaceutical market, accounting for 31% of total sales in the United States. In 2001, of the 25 drugs with the highest retail sales, 8 were psychotropic, those treating mental health conditions. Antidepressants had the highest retail sales ($12.5 billion) of any drug category and were responsible for the largest share of the increase in overall drug spending from 2000 to 2001.
Adult use of antidepressants almost tripled from 1988 to 2000. Women and children experienced the most dramatic rise. In 1999-2000, 10 percent of women 18 and older reported taking antidepressants in the previous month as compared with 4 percent in men. Use among children has seen a very sharp increase, especially with Ritalin used to treat attention deficit disorder. From 2000 to 2002, the government counted an average of 13.5 visits for every 100 boys ages 5 to 17, up from an average of 8.5 visits from 1997 to 1999. The comparable figures for girls were 5.3 and 3.3. By contrast, antidepressants were prescribed at similar rates for boys and girls, and in both cases the rates increased sharply from 1994 to 2002. Dependence on prescribed tranquilizers has risen by 290% since 1962, a period during which the per capita consumption of liquor rose by only 23% and the estimated consumption of illegal opiates by about 50 percent, As noted by Ivan Illich in Medical Nemesis, “Medical addiction … has outgrown all self-chosen or more festive forms of creating well-being.”
Watching Out for Drug Dangers
Some people take the wrong medication; others get an old or contaminated batch, and others a counterfeit; others take medications in dangerous combinations. Some medications are addictive, others have devastating emotional and physical side effects. Every year a million people – that is 3 to 5% of all hospital admissions – are admitted primarily because of a negative reaction to medications. The situation has become especially exacerbated by the medical profession’s propensity to dole out medication like candy for the slightest sign of depression, anxiety, or insomnia, helping make drugs like Prozac as chic in the suburbs as crack is in the inner city. This has led to that plague of legal drug addiction, documented by Peter Breggin in his definitive study Toxic Psychiatry.
Finding Safe, Effective Relief from Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, and Stress through CES
CES is a unique and viable “bioelectric” approach which seems to enhance the homeostasis of the biological central nervous system – the tendency for intrinsic balance within a system. Its ethic is that of self-regulation. Its goal, wellness – a state of proper alignment – the balanced interplay of body and mind attained through personal empowerment rather than dependency.
CES proponents believe that increased reliance on external drugs interferes with that self-regulatory process, reducing our ability to cope. That to reclaim control of our life we have to learn how to alter that chemical composition and reorient that circuitry, not through dependency but by activating, strengthening, and effectively employing our own inner resources.
Self-regulation, autonomy, and no negative side effects are ample reasons to consider CES. Cost is yet another factor. The CES Ultra is but a fraction of the cost of drugs and may be used year after year.
Contact us today to find out how you can relax, get restful sleep, and find peace of mind – all without relying on drugs.
CES vs. tDCS
It is perhaps time to set the record straight about
transcranial direct current stimulation (commonly known as “tDCS”)
and the sudden rush to embrace this new technology.
There is a serious misunderstanding which should be done away with at the outset. tDCS is not ECT (electro-convulsive therapy). We are talking instead about a totally different modality. Further, within that modality, yet another distinction should be made. There is tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) and CES (cranial electrical stimulation) which is based not on DC (direct current) but on AC (alternating current).
Much of the current (no pun intended) hoo-hah is about tDCS and specifically the device being marketed by foc.us. It is based on research of a dubious nature and promoted as a new hula-hoop for the mind for gamers and those hoping for a quick cognitive fix.
Though it affects the human condition, the FDA has not intervened to regulate the device, primarily because its sponsors make no medical claims. It has also not been adequately tested for safety, though the amperage, being as low as it is, is in all probability harmless. Due to the absence of studies, very little is known about the long term effects of tDCS on developing brains.
CES (cranial electrotherapy stimulation) is also a hand-held electronic device that is simple to use and has no side effects. Unlike tDCS, however, CES has been around for more than half a century, has a substantial body of solid scientific research behind it, as well as an unblemished safety track record. CES manufacturers are registered and monitored by the FDA and are allowed to make claims for their device for the treatment of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Though no claims are made about enhanced cognitive functioning, results demonstrate gains in that realm as well.
Common sense says that cognition is very much a function of those states. If you are less anxious and depressed and getting a good night’s sleep, your cognitive functioning improves as well. Conversely, the more stressed out you are, the less able you are to think clearly. It is somewhat depressing as one who has worked in the field for more than 35 years to encounter a discussion on the brain and electrical activity and hear not a word about CES. Incidentally, at a time when our veterans are struggling to find a non-drug solution to PTSD, CES is currently used exactly for that purpose, being prescribed for active duty personnel through the “Warrior Combat Stress Reset Program” at:
Fort Hood, Texas
Fort Campbell, Kentucky
Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington
Naval Hospital, Bremerton, Washington
Combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan
When it comes to employing gentle electrical stimulation for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and insomnia as well as an associated upswing in cognitive functioning, using a government regulated modality, CES is clearly the only viable option.

CES Research
Research Revealing Effectiveness of CES in Treating Depression and Anxiety
Meta-analyses yielding positive results from the use of CES have been conducted at the University of Tulsa and at the Harvard University School of Public Health. Eighty-five percent of the independent research on the efficacy of CES is based on the configuration of the CES Ultra medical device. Other units on the market may have the same frequency, but they do not measure up to the amplitude, wavelength, duty cycle and frequency found in only in the CES Ultra.
That means that while other companies cite research studies, those studies are often company-based and company-funded and hence are not truly independent and fully objective. Only the CES Ultra has the configuration that was used in independent, university-based studies.
The major meta-analysis of the Harvard School of Public Health, which found that CES has a statistically significant effect on alleviating anxiety, focused entirely on units using the configuration in the CES Ultra.
Research on Depression to Find the Best Treatment
Depression is the state in which the individual feels sad, helpless, and disinterested in life. Clinical depression affects mood, mind, body, and behavior. Depression is the most frequently seen psychiatric disorder among both hospitalized inpatients and those in outpatient psychiatric care. Research has shown that in the United States about 19 million people—one in ten adults-experience depression each year, and nearly two-thirds do not get the help they need.
There are many kinds of depression, several with deep underlying psychiatric causes. Short of biochemical analysis, however, they are usually difficult to differentiate. Psychological testing can rate depressive states according to intensity but cannot differentiate causative factors. Despite the variations in etiology of depressive states, however, treatments are very similar.
Context
Five studies employing three different measures and 189 different patients suffering from depression. All were in treatment facilities, either psychiatric or chemical dependency. Each of the studies was conducted under controlled conditions; one, double-blind, four, single-blind.
Graphical Interpretation
Under each set of bars is the psychological test used to measure depression in each study including a general average of all results. The red bar shows patients’ scores before using CES—the higher the bar, the greater the depression. The blue bar shows the level of depression after using CES.
Results
There have been three replications of findings on the Profile of Mood States, Depression-Dejection factor, and two replications using the Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (POMS-D and ZSDS, respectively on the graph). All yielded similar results. The movement on the ZSDS scale is less because one study was for one week and the second, for ten days. The studies which ran over a span of three weeks, however, provide evidence of an even more dramatic decline in depression.
All three tests yielded congruent results—an average reduction of approximately 50% in the depression raw scores measured before and after CES treatment. All types of depression responded dramatically to CES. CES showed itself to be effective in treating the lighter reactive type within a week or ten days and the deeper seated variety in three weeks.
Because those with deep-seated depression tend to view CES as a modern “miracle,” and expect instantaneous relief, they can actually become more depressed initially while using CES unless the therapist specifically tells them that at least three weeks of treatment are required. With this added clinical support, even the most deep-seated depressions responded well. The study controlled for possible placebo effects did not show any. There has never been a reduction in the scores of sham CES treated controls.
As in the anxiety studies, while some depression studies were “sacrificed” in the attempt to discover how much treatment was necessary to correct the various intensities of depression, there has never been a controlled scientific study in which CES was not shown to significantly improve reactive depression in a week to ten days and deep-seated depression within three weeks. All types of depression studied so far, have responded dramatically to CES treatment.
Research on Anxiety to Find the Best Treatment
Introduction
Anxiety is defined as “mental uneasiness” or “distress arising from fear of what may happen.” It has several different manifestations. Individuals suffering from panic disorder experience recurrent, unexpected panic attacks. Those with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) chronically worry too much about a variety of things, and experience symptoms such as restlessness, agitation, or feeling keyed up, muscle tension, fatigue, irritability, and trouble with concentration and sleep. Persons suffering from social anxiety disorder experience extreme fear and avoidance of social and/or performance situations.
Anxiety disorders, as a group, are the most common mental illness in America. More than 19 million American adults are affected by these debilitating illnesses each year. Children and adolescents can also develop anxiety disorders. Anxiety is currently perhaps the most fashionable idiom in the parlance of American psychiatry and medicine. It is used almost synonymously with stress which in turn has been associated with everything from increased risk of heart attack and cancer to the common cold. The general consensus within the medical community is that anxiety can in many instances, be a causative factor in physical illness as well as exacerbate it.
Context
Seven separate studies of 220 hospitalized psychiatric inpatients. All were controlled scientific studies employing measures of anxiety with known reliability and validity. There are four replications using the state anxiety scale (STAI-S) and three using the tension/anxiety factor on the Profile of Mood States (POMS-T/A). Most of the studies were for fifteen days-Monday through Friday over a period of three weeks. The TMAS (Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale) study was for ten days only and the IPAT (Institute for Personality and Ability Testing) for six. Studies using the STAI-S used five or six thirty minute sessions whereas one of the POM-T/A studies used CES for thirty minutes a day over ten days and two others at a rate of one forty minute session per day for fifteen days
Graphical Interpretation
The red bar represents the patients’ scores on the anxiety measure before CES treatment (PRE); the blue bar, their score after CES therapy (POST).
Results
The findings of all tests conducted were consistent: Most patients responded positively to CES treatment within the first week or ten days; the more entrenched forms of anxiety, within ten days to three weeks. Resultant post CES test scores shows improvement ranging from approximately 30 percent to almost 65 percent. The variation was due to different anxiety scales measuring different facets of anxiety, only some of which are shared in common. In one study, investigators deliberately used patients with low suggestibility levels and compared them with those with high suggestibility levels. No differences were found, thus ruling out a placebo effect.
The net result of these studies shows CES to be a predictably effective treatment for anxiety and related disorders as measured by these scales. There has never been a controlled study of anxiety in which CES patients did not improve more significantly than did the controls.

P300 waves have a reduced amplitude in many alcoholics, which does not revert to normal, even after continued abstinence. 13 alcohol and/or drug abusers and 2 staff controls were selected as they entered the clinic for a computerized EEG. All were given 40 minutes of CES between pre and post EEG. There were no significant changes in the controls. Following the CES the patient’s P300 amplitude increased significantly (P<.05). The time went from a pre-treatment of 308 to 317 msec post-treatment. The amplitude (dV) went from pre-treatment of 7.0 to 9.9 post-treatment. Also there were significant positive shifts in alpha, delta, theta and beta spectra in patients who were abnormal in one or more of these areas prior to CES treatment. It was concluded that CES might be a significant non-drug treatment for the underlying electrophysiological disorder of the drug abuser, because the normalization of these electrophysiological parameters are characteristic of pharmaceutical treatment.

Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of cranial electrostimulation. Efficacy in treating selected psychological and physiological conditions. J Nerv Ment Dis. 1997 Dec; 185 (12): 766-7
Researchers conducted an extensive literature review of cranial electrostimulation (CES) efficacy that identified 18 of the most carefully conducted randomized controlled trials of CES versus sham treatment. For the 14 trials that had sufficient data, the techniques of meta-analysis was used to pool the published results of treating each of four conditions: anxiety (eight trials), brain dysfunction (two trials), headache (two trials), and insomnia (two trials). Because studies utilized different outcome measures, an effect size method was employed to normalize measures which were then pooled across studies within each condition. The meta-analysis of anxiety showed CES to be significantly more effective than sham treatment (p < .05).

Research was conducted with 4 groups: (1) “normal group”, (2) intractable chronic pain, (3) chronic pain with depression, and (4) longstanding depression unresponsive to medication. Psychological tests, serotonin and cholinesterase levels were measured pre and post. Depressed patients improved most with treatment; 60% reported improvement, 44% of the pain patients reported improvement. In the depressed patients, after treatment, both serotonin and cholinesterase levels improved significantly.

60 substance abusers, mean age 33.9, were given either CES (30), sham CES (10), or (20) no experimental treatment. Four psychological measures administered pre and post. CES and sham patients received 30 min. of treatment daily for 15 days. Treatment t-tests reveal CES patients had significantly greater improvement in anxiety levels than did either control group. No placebo effect noted.

Hear What Customers Are Saying About CES Ultra
“Thank you for taking the time to follow up with me. It is great to see effort of people such as yourself to help others with their sleep problems. I have used the machine for almost three months now, usually on a weekly basis. Now I only use it when I find difficulty falling asleep. I turn the device on and within 30 minutes I am asleep. For 15 years I have had constant sleep problems and now thanks to your machine, I am able to get a good night’s sleep.”
~ Sherry M.
“I work in a high-stress environment. My job has thrown my body-clock totally out of whack. I hadn’t been able to get a good solid night’s sleep for many months. I don’t believe in taking sleeping pills, so when a friend recommended that I try the CES Ultra, I was eager to do so. After only a few times using it while watching TV, I noticed the effect almost immediately. It began to restore my sleep patterns back to normal….”
~ Susan K.
“Now when I wake up I feel much better, more relaxed and refreshed and I also feel that I am coping with the stress much better at work. It’s is like having my own personal little relaxation device. I love it and will recommend it to all my friends and associates.”
~ Davia E.
“I am quite familiar with research on CES, having presented a paper on it to my colleagues at an annual convention, showing them how effective CES is in dealing not only with sleep, but also with problems associated with stress, mood, addiction, and pain. My familiarity with the 50-year history of research in CES allows me to state with certainty that the technology used in the CES Ultra is effective.
“CES has also been shown to reduce muscular tension. I often recommend it to patients who have been injured in automobile accidents, as its gentle and relaxing effects help them to overcome not only the emotional impact of the accident, but reduce their perception of pain as well.”
~ Dr. Jonathan Douglas – Psychologist, Canada
“My body had actually lost its ability to fall asleep naturally and now, just the thoughts of going to sleep had become a great source of daily stress and anxiety for me. So bad was this problem that when it was actually time for me to go to bed … I would lie there wide awake for hours. The CES Ultra gave me my life back, and I feel like a new person again.
~ Wayne R.
“Several months ago I suffered with severe insomnia. I couldn’t get more than 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night, and sometimes I couldn’t sleep at all. I tried all kinds of sleep medications and supplements without success. I saw a neurologist who specializes in sleep problems, but she was of little help. I did some research on the internet and came across studies with CES. I decided to buy a CES Ultra. Within 2 weeks I was able to get 7 hours of sleep a night. I used it every day for two months and during that time I had no insomnia. Now I find that using it 2 or 3 times a week is sufficient for me to get a good night’s sleep.”
~ Ray W.
“I am using [the CES Ultra] most nights for an hour or so … It has worked well for me and usually gives me about 6-7 hours of solid sleep. . . One thing I have noticed is that my mind is a bit sharper, which is such a blessing at 81 years old!”
– Cheers,
~ Irene Cey
“I never believed when I first started using [the CES Ultra] that its effect would be so noticeable. I was totally amazed. I was going through some personal problems in my life and all this added stress was contributing to me not sleeping properly. I was absolutely full of tension … because I was only getting four or five hours sleep a night.
“I started to use your CES machine in the evenings around 9:30, as I settled in to watch a little TV. It helped to calm my nerves and actually made me feel more relaxed. I keep it on my coffee table … so it’s always close by. Now I am sleeping about 7 hours a night.”
~ Paul M.
“I had been searching for a natural solution to my sleep problems because I knew that the sleeping pills I had been taking were only making the problem worse. I think that the very first time I tried this solution, I became hooked on the experience. As soon as I started using your machine, I could feel the relaxing effect almost immediately and because this device was totally natural and had no negative side effects, for me, it was the perfect solution. It not only reduced my stress and tension levels but it actually gave me a good night’s sleep. As a result, I have made it a regular part of my everyday life and as a matter of fact, the more I use it, the better I feel.”
~ Neil K.
“Thanks to the CES Ultra, I’ve recently been able to wean myself off of SSRI medication. I’m so glad to have found CES. It’s unbelievable how much better it works than medication. It just amazes me that the public isn’t really aware of these devices and their effectiveness…. What I wouldn’t give to have had one of these about 15 years ago; if I’d only known. Thanks for making a great product.”
~ Alan M.
“My family is in the middle of a miracle. Your CES unit is the catalyst for this miracle and we are so very grateful to you. I would like to tell you a little of our story. Although four members of the family have great stories to tell concerning the CES unit, the greatest of all the miracles concerns my grandson, Johnathan. He is eighteen years old and has been heavily medicated for more than twelve years… Even with all of this medication, he was still unable to leave his mother’s presence; He was still hallucinating….and was sure someone or something was going to harm him. He has been unable to leave home, except for school…and was never able to spend the night with anyone and has had to sleep in his parents bedroom. He began using CES in July 2004. After about 8 or 9 days, my daughter called from their home in Chicago to see if I could keep him for awhile. He was feeling better and she wondered if he might be able to get on an airplane and fly here… Mind you, this child has never left his mother’s side and here we are talking about putting him on an airplane to travel by himself. He had apprehensions…but he came. He used the CES unit while here for four weeks. Just as remarkable, while here, he was able to challenge himself to make brief forages into malls and stores and bathrooms by himself. He has never been able to do so in the past. Since he has been on medication for years, and has been getting the same encouragement from mom, dad and family all of his life and since CES in the only obvious change…it seems clear to us that the CES is the cause of these positive changes.”
~ Eileen V.
“I purchased my CES Ultra for use in my clinic and for my personal use after reading about the Veteran’s Administration testing Cranial Electrical Stimulation for both depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in veterans. Since I am an Active Duty Army Physician Assistant serving with the 10th Mountain Division and later the 25th Combat Aviation Brigade on 3 deployments to Iraq, I treat many young Soldiers with both of those conditions. Using both professional psycho-therapy (standard talk therapy), SSRIs and CES Ultra I felt that we were giving our Soldiers the best possible therapies. Where no one therapy works for all conditions and all Soldiers, I felt that the more tools in my arsenal the better. All the Soldiers seem to like the immediate calming effects of the CES Ultra and many of the Soldiers commented that they slept much better on nights they got a session with the CES Ultra. I use it when doing office work and filling out patient’s charts and always feel more calm and focused and sleep better when I use it regularly. I recommend CES Ultra to anyone that has depression, or feels anxious or frazzle and wants a non-medication treatment for calming ones nerves and improving their sleep.”
~ MAJ James M Brumley, APA-C
“We have sold hundreds of CES Ultras since their introduction. While we do not release feedback from our customers, judging by referrals and orders for supplies, it seems that the devices have had positive results. We have a liberal return policy and have received very few back. The CES Ultra has an excellent track record for reliability as well.”
~ Phil Safier, Elixa Ltd
“I began having sleep problems when I started my new job as a teacher and my husband started shift work. I found it hard to fall asleep and I was waking up much too early and then I was unable to get back to sleep again.
“Sleeping pills are not an option for me because sometimes they leave you tired and I have to be alert at my job during the day. After using the [CES Ultra] for less than 30 days, I have found I am able to fall asleep more quickly and stay asleep until my alarm clock actually goes off. When I get up I feel well rested and able to take on my day.”
~ Jennifer B.
