The idea behind it is the same idea behind TENS unit for muscle/nerve injury… but even that you shouldn't buy on Amazon and apply yourself without consulting medical professionals 😅. Also, it's relatively safe but can be dangerous for people with undiagnosed MND's or epilepsy.
I hear a toaster in a bathtub works GREAT for that!!!
My brain gets zapped whenever I hear Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert on tv.
It's works. Now i become Dr. Strange.
Aromatherapy in the morning and before bed works tremendously. Eating 2 to three bananas per day.
The market for TDCS is about to explode. It’s easy to pass judgement and label this as snake oil. I bet people said the same thing about coffee when it first came along and this admittedly sounds more scary! If you actually look at the data TDCS is extremely promising, backed by science, and relatively low risk..especially when compared to pharmaceutical drugs. The US Army, NBA, Olympians and EU have been using TDCS devices for years now for improved concentration, better athleticism, improved memory, depression, and ADHD. Even though it’s not officially sanctioned by the FDA, even NYU doctors have started prescribing it. So for all of y’all who are quick to judge, I totally get it, but I think you’re going to be reevaluating your take as the medical community starts to confirm what some risk taking biohackers have known for years.
The world has gone mad.
“Turn up the current a little too high . . .". Apply electrical current to that bowl of jelly in your cranium. What could go wrong? Carry on!
No thanks, I already have epilepsy. I don't need anything else zapping my brain.
Customers will eventually experience not only migraines but an imbalance of function.
It'll cause a slingshot effect ending in a reduction of mental capacity.
This is a rabbit hole for the ignorant who can't help but chase dragons or waterfalls.
I have a nice set of jumper cables for this.
Stop zapping my brain!
Only women could think something so obviously absurd could possibly be useful. I'm surprised they didn't mention anything about those pesky "toxins" that they are always trying to remove from your body but cannot elaborate on what they are or why.
These are less useful than the magnets they sell to install on fuel lines and get better gas mileage. It's just snake oil. Even then, numerous morons will tell you how great it works!!! (So they never had a problem to begin with, it was all in their head)
Stick you finger in a socket. BRILLIANT
Doctors can't tell me what to do with my own body. I've driven nails into my brain parts, hooked them up to wall outlets and the results are amazing.
When did news become commercials. Am i watching home shopping network
Don’t do it. It make you angry.
Please, go ahead and keep doing this.
I don't think so
I know some Chinese made red hatters that could use this regardless, heard it's great for cult deprogramming.
Wtf
Oh yea…seems safe…no thanku I'll just stay dumb.
