I think you have to understand that more than ever, people are turning to medication because their anxiety is out of control. And the problem with that is that it’s never-ending. Once you start taking a Xanax, what’s going to happen is you attenuate to it. You’re going to need to take more of it. It’s going to become less and less effective. And it’s not actually doing anything to solve the problem—the underlying problem.
I mean, a lot of anxiety now is coming from the foods we eat, the environment we’re under. We’re under a lot more stress through social media. And then what’s happening is that our nervous system is breaking down. So it needs some help.
And for years ago, you’re right—everybody knows I do a lot of clinical nutrition for the difficult cases, but sometimes that’s not enough. You know, sometimes we can support the nervous system, the autonomic nervous system—the fight or flight, the parasympathetic for relaxing—and it’s not enough to just support it nutritionally. And sometimes people are in such crisis that telling them to go do deep breathing when they’re panicking like this is not going to work.
And so years ago, about over thirty years ago, we came across a company, CES Ultra, that uses alpha waves to calm and relax the brain. And the first time we had this in our office, I was blown away. And we’re going back into the 1990s. This is a long time ago, and it was already available for years before that. And the reason this is so—even today—groundbreaking, forty years later, it’s still groundbreaking, is because it’s one of the few medical devices FDA-recognized that is proven to help with anxiety and insomnia.
And the more you use it, the better it works. There’s almost nothing on the market that we could say the more you use it, the better it works. And people start feeling a change the first time they use it. But then over time, what happens is it retrains the brain to produce the alpha waves that make endorphins. And this type of product is actually proven to raise your serotonin. And everybody needs serotonin if they have anxiety, if they have insomnia, if they have pain problems, if they have depression—because serotonin is the feel-good hormone.
You talk about entrainment. It is a big deal. I mean, we’ve been using it. And really, from the very first time, we are seeing those changes with people. And then by the third time or the fifth time, you know, they’re at a different level. I mean, how they react to stress, how easily they get thrown into an anxiety attack—now they have to have more of a stress in order to do it. So it’s super cool to see it. People see it all the time, and they love it because it’s cost-effective.
I mean, people have spent a lot of money. People spend more money on one supplement that might be a peptide or something else or some, you know, program or system to clear something. And they have this—and this doesn’t wear out. I mean, you have CES devices that you’ve had for years.
Yeah, we actually have our original ones still. So we have about five or six in our office, and I don’t think any of them are less than five years old. And they just work great. You just replace the headset every now and then for like ten dollars.
And what’s really important about using something like the CES Ultra is, one, it is extremely cost-effective. It’s less than one hour of therapy. It’s amazing. And a lot of people—you know, you’re like me—you know, the nutritional part of your care will go so far. The chiropractic part of your care will go so far. But you need to make lifestyle changes.
And for a lot of people, you know, like, “Oh, let’s go exercise. Let’s go do some deep breathing. Why don’t you take up yoga or biofeedback?” The problem is—and this is where we started using it for the military—and about ten, twelve years ago, this is one of those things that just like a light bulb went off.
When I was dealing with the military, and we’re dealing with people with severe PTSD, and they’re like—you know, to get them off the bed was, you know, a miracle. They’re too weak to go and to run down and just didn’t have any oomph left in their system to change their diet, to even take their vitamins or, you know, “Hey, how about we just do some biofeedback training?” They’re too weak. They just don’t have anything in their system.
