Use of Frequency Specific Microcurrent in the Treatment of Breast Tissue: A Case Study

Mammographic or breast tissue density is a well-defined risk factor for breast cancer and having extremely dense breast tissue is associated with a one-to-six-fold increased risk of breast cancer. This case study follows the use of Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) to treat a 54-year-old woman with dense breast tissue. Frequency-specific microcurrent treatment can relieve pain using very low levels of electrical current. Mammograms which were performed in 2018 and 2021 showed heterogeneously dense breast tissue, Category C. The 2021 mammogram procedure was excruciatingly painful for the patient during the breast compression. FSM treatment involved using frequencies resurrected from the 1920s and applied with a modern microcurrent device. The current and frequencies were applied through the breast tissue. The most effective frequencies used were described as working to remove calcifications and oxalate crystals from the breast tissue. This treatment caused immediate softening of the involved tissue and less pain with palpation of the breast tissue. A mammogram in 2023 post-FSM treatment showed the patient did not have dense tissue and rated the breast tissue at a Category B. A mammogram performed in 2023 was pain-free on one side and mildly painful on the other side. After the final treatment, the patient adopted a low oxalate diet that she hoped would be helpful in reducing the recurrence of breast density and tenderness. This study suggests that FSM is potentially a useful therapy to decrease breast tissue density and calcification, warranting further investigation in a larger sample.
Aim: The present study highlights the Role of Rehabilitation Medicine in the Psychological Etiology of Blindness or Visual Impairment.

Patients and Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted. The literature review utilized a critical systems typology, whereby relevant literature was selected, reviewed, and analyzed intra and extra-organizationally. In addition, a thorough discussion of disability-related factors was provided, lending a socio-political lens to the problem.

Results: Considerable data indicates that short-term mental health care services for people with BVI are ineffective treatment methods, albeit primarily employed in health-rehabilitative processes. Multiple studies offered data indicating the presence of diverse and entangled mental health issues relative to vocational rehabilitation services, mobility tool utility, and emotional reactions to vision loss. Many studies suggested that disability identity work be integrated into health-rehabilitative processes for people with BVI. A critical forum or podcast can provide a means of educative introspection that aids people with BVI to recognize the power that is given, not necessarily power held. Reality therapy, then, can be an organized effort to incorporate into clinical settings which people with BVI are cognizant of, and may specifically request, during assessment or evaluative procedures.

Conclusion: To improve the utility of mental health care services for people with BVI, a reenergization of the mental health care needs of this population must occur. Future mental health policy and practice for individuals with BVI can be improved with the help of a podcast or forum that critically examines and educates listeners about the health-rehabilitation issues that impact the provision of mental health care services. In order to improve understanding of this demographic and their particular mental health needs, disability researchers must expedite qualitative, community-based techniques and develop research on integrating critical perspectives in treatment with persons with BVI.
