DENAS Microcurrent Biofeedback

DENAS (Dynamic Electro Neuro Adaptive Stimulator) can be used for a very wide range of health issues. It comes with many settings and a manual that you can explore from head to toe. Here we look in particular at how we use the DENAS for issues related to your eyes.

DENAS Glasses electrodes are helpful for eye and vision issues including myopia, hyperopia, conjunctivitis, cataract, macular health, and glaucoma.

How the DENAS works

SCENAR is an acronym that stands for Self-Controlled Energo Neuro-Adaptive Regulation. The foundational concept is that the unit senses your body energy level and responses to healing signals, and continuously adjusts the input in order to balance and harmonize the tissue response.

Energy levels that are excessive, such as inflammation, are relaxed downward to more balanced levels. Energy levels that are deficient, such as in degenerative states, are increased, recharging your cellular membrane electrical potentials akin to recharging a battery.

DENAS uses the "Star Trek" level SCENAR biofeedback technology developed to treat the Russian Cosmonauts during space flight. Use of pharmaceuticals in space is both impractical (due to the size and weight of a pharmacy) and poisonous (due to contaminating the water recycling system for the entire crew).

The computer inside the instrument adjusts the microcurrent output continuously according to the body's response. When inflamed tissue is detected, the output is designed to reduce the energy level to normal. When energy is in the degenerative range, it boosts the cell membrane potentials in the area.

Before you begin: contraindications

Not everyone can use the DENAS.

Check with your health care practitioner first

With relative contraindications, it is recommended to consult with your practitioner before using microcurrent therapies. The general relative contraindications for use are:

• Acute infection, or fever of obscure origin
• Serious psychological stress or mental illness
• Intoxication with alcohol or drugs
• Venous thrombosis (for example, a central retinal vein occlusion)

Check with your eye doctor first

The relative contraindications for ophthalmic use of microcurrent therapies are:

• Acute closed-angle glaucoma attack with high IOP (Intraocular Pressure), where the vision is typically cloudy and the eye feels stony hard to palpation through the eyelid
• Acute retinal detachment, which can appear suddenly like a curtain obscuring part of the visual field
• Recent injuries of the eyes and periorbital area that are still in the wound healing phase of cicatrization (scar formation)

Directions from the manual

These are the eye-related protocols from the DENAS PCM 6 manual, with the page number for each so you can look up the full entry. Throughout, S means Stable (the electrode stays in one place), :S: means Stable with the applicator, and Labile means the electrode is moved slowly over the area. Intensity is always set to a level that feels pleasant — never painful.

The collar area is used to treat the autonomic nervous system, and the rib areas are used to treat key internal organs including the liver.

Research background

Ophthalmologists Dr. I. Kachevanskaja, Dr. Y. Shabashkevich, and Dr. N. Gruzman published 6 articles in Rhythm between 1997 and 2004. They treated 80 glaucoma patients in addition to many other eye diseases, comparing multiple methods of treatment. Zero aggravations were observed with SCENAR (Self Controlled Energo-Neuro Adaptive Regulator) therapy. The results reported with SCENAR are:

• improvement of eye health
• normalization of eye pressure (IOP)
• improvement of general condition including mood, sleep, appetite, energy, efficiency

Results: patients completed 3 to 6 courses of SCENAR therapy, with about 10 sessions in each course. Total effectiveness was 96%. Patients were then followed for 2 years after the SCENAR therapy. Doctors monitored intra-ocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity, refractive status, visual fields, vascular health, as well as laboratory and immunologic tests. The conclusions are:

1. Glaucoma is an illness of the whole body, not only the eyes.
2. First improve endocrine, nerve and immune functions before concentrating on local treatments.
3. Effectiveness increases with additional courses of SCENAR therapy, at least twice a year.
4. 68% of glaucoma cases remain stable during follow-up.
5. 15% of glaucoma cases show sustained improvement.
6. 14% show relapse, correlated with age, advanced disease, and fewer courses of treatment.

More observations from the Russian research: treatments are individualized, taking into account asymmetries on a daily or alternate day basis. Repeated courses of 5 to 10 sessions constitute treatment. Concomitant diseases and pathological processes particular to each individual are considered relative to the eyes. The periorbital region, the foramina of the trigeminal and facial nerves, the retro-occipital neck zone, the liver, and the whole spinal column are treated. Results are observed in visual acuity, ocular health, tonometry, and laboratory and immunologic findings. In primary glaucoma visual acuity does not typically change. In secondary glaucoma (phacomorphic angle closure) visual acuity improved a little. IOP decreased considerably, especially postoperative. Treatment was helpful preoperatively, improving circulation in the posterior segment, and postoperatively, improving recovery from anesthesia. Some cases show periods of negative regulation with temporary increases in IOP.

Specific treatments for eye healing

Here are more details on how to use the DENAS to treat specific areas that support improved eye health and visual function.

Trigeminal nerve

Points to treat: apply the shungite electrodes for 2 minutes on the 6 points on the face, in the classical SCENAR order.

Alternatively, work on pairs of points with a pair of shungites, for 2 minutes on each pair, switching the electrodes after 1 minute (1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-1).

If you do not have shungite electrodes and did not do the Brain Cross technique, add the Third Eye point after the trigeminal nerve points.

Eye points

Points to treat: in addition to use of the DENAS glasses electrode, treat the relevant Electroacupuncture According to Voll (EAV) eye points around the boney rim of the orbit, plus the optic nerve reflex point on the temple area. See the anatomical charts for details.

Electrodes

Eyeglasses electrode

The DENAS eyeglasses electrode is a rubberized electrode, so it can make good electrical contact with the skin around the eyes. This gives general support for the whole eye area, as well as all of the eye-related acupuncture and electroacupuncture points.

DENS-Glasses for DENAS and Diadens devices.

While setting up and doing your DENAS microcurrent biofeedback for your eyes for about 20 minutes, you can use the Eye Healing Visualization below.

At first, try it with your eyes open, breathing in deeply as the image in the lower right corner expands, and exhaling as the luminous image diminishes. As you begin to feel the rhythm of this 10 second breath cycle, you can intermittently close your eyes, and open them briefly to see how well you stay in sync. The body naturally attunes to this breath cycle of 0.1 Hz.

Eye Healing Visualization — a 0.1 Hz breath pacer to use during your session.

Acupoint electrode

The point electrode allows you to direct healing energy to specific acupuncture and electroacupuncture points of interest. The charts above show the most important points related to the eyes. Of course, you can use it on other acupuncture and electrodermal screening points as well.

As you do the Eye Stretch exercise in the video below, notice any particular areas that are more tender. Tenderness indicates excess energy and inflammatory tendency; the eye point charts above show what these points are linked to in the eye. Similarly, areas where pressure feels good indicate deficient energy and a potential degenerative tendency. Use the point electrode on these points as well, to energize the related reflex areas of the eye.

Note: we do not currently have a source for a point electrode for the DENAS system. Use the built-in electrodes instead.

Frequency settings

Frequency-specific microcurrent settings are available in the range of 1.0 to 9.9 Hz, including the 7.8 Hz Earthing frequency.

Preset programs and modes

Specific preset programs are included for: allergy, pain, severe pain, bloating, neuro-circulatory dystonia, gynecologic pain, gynecology, hypertension, hypotonia, head, throat, diarrhea, gastro-intestinal pain, constipation, cough, muscles, cold, potency, kidneys, back, joints, nausea, trauma, and asthma.

Screening mode allows you to scan the unit over the skin to find pathogenic zones that will benefit from treatment in therapy mode.

The Minimal Effective Dose (MED) is an automated program used 8 to 12 times, at least once a day, for prevention or rehabilitation of physical or mental overexertion, chronic fatigue, issues with internal organs, and prevention of colds during epidemics.

Ocular and visual indications

Here are some of the indications for using the DENAS for your eyes and vision:

• Tired, uncomfortable eyes (asthenopia). Also incorporate the Eye Stretch exercise into any extended period of detailed visual work, such as screens, reading, writing, or drafting.
• Dry eyes (keratoconjunctivitis sicca; Sjögren's syndrome).
• Blurred vision due to spasm of focus (accommodation) or weak focusing ability (accommodative insufficiency or infacility). Active focus of the eyes for near targets is innervated by the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, which regulates "rest and digest" functions and is functionally linked to the digestive tract. Eye focus control comes from the midbrain and, like digestion, it is particularly sensitive to all kinds of stress, including cognitive demands and stressful emotional states.
• Nearsightedness (myopia) and visual blur and distortion at all distances (astigmatism) — relates to System 2, connective tissue, as the shape of the eye is distorted. A deeper cause to consider is restricted movement patterns, which relates to System 1, muscles.
• Eye turn (strabismus), which can manifest as crossed eyes (esotropia), wall eye (exotropia), a vertical deviation (hypertropia), or other patterns where there may be involvement of the three cranial nerves (III, IV and VI) that coordinate eye movement — relates to Systems 1 and 4, muscle and nerve function.
• Amblyopia (also referred to by the misnomer lazy eye), which can be restored functionally in most cases at any age — relates to System 4, communication.
• Age-related farsightedness, also known as presbyopia — relates to Phase 2, aging terrain.
• Computer vision syndrome (CVS), which now includes cell phone screen time in this stress pattern.
• Other eye health and vision issues. Microcurrent biofeedback is a great tool to implement in your home or office Healing Oasis.
