- Mental depression can now be treated safely without drugs or side effects using a new 5-minute treatment called CellSonic that uses shockwaves.
- Pharmaceutical antidepressants cause permanent brain damage with long-term use and risk drug dependency, whereas CellSonic has no side effects.
- Two professors from Poland reported feeling lifted, relaxed, and happier after CellSonic treatments, indicating it may have antidepressant effects by stimulating neurons in the brain.

Magnets - Not Drugs: TMS IMMH San Antonio 2014Louis Cady, MD
In this talk, Dr. Cady covers a remarkable new treatment for depression: transcranial magnetic stimulation. The historical roots of this treatment are traced, followed by a review of the literature in terms of the proven efficacy of this treatment. A comparison with ECT shows that TMS has a very favorable profile, with remarkably fewer side effects and incredibly better tolerated side effects compared to ECT. Given that this was a "CME" talk, off-label uses of TMS were reviewed, including stepping stones for future avenues to explore

Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

II. The spectrum of emotions
Below is a diagram of the spectrum of emotions. I used this first in an article about The Life Switch.
When the mood is below normal, there is no healing. A depressed person is not just unhappy, they are ill. Aches
and pains get worse. The immune system does not work. Add drugs to the helpless body and the immune system
completely packs in.
I observe, watch and listen to patients treated by CellSonic. A few weeks ago, a hunch that CellSonic is anti-
depressant was confirmed. I visited St James Clinic in Birmingham to meet two lady professors from Poland
when were interested in our technology.

The directors of St James are Hieu Tran standing between the ladies and Syed Ahmed on my left. The visiting
professors are from Rzeszów University . Agnieszka Banas-Ząbczyk is on the left in the picture and Marta
Kopańska is in the middle of the group.
Both ladies were treated twice by the machine which at St James is called CS1. I explained what the
machine does and how we understand it works on the body. The discussion then centred on the CS1 (CellSonic)
making the patient feel happy. Hieu told of a miserable man who never smiled being seen after a treatment to be
smiling. He told his friends it was the machine that did it. Agnieszka said the same. She felt lifted, relaxed and
welcomed more treatments. Marta agreed. Agnieszka said that neurons were being sent into the brain.
Here is the machine.
St James have developed a standard procedure to treat the spine regardless of what the patient came to the clinic
for. In the photo below, Hieu is showing the lady what to do. She is in the process of buying a machine for her
own clinic.
The protocol is 1,000 pulses at energy level 4.

The treatment takes about five minutes with the machine banging at four a second. It can be felt but is not
painful. Indeed, the patient enjoys the treatment.
Three forces are emitted by the shock head (called a wand in America): pressure, electrical field and light.
The spine is connected to the brain and all the organs.
By treating the spine with CellSonic all the organs receive an electrical boost from the electrical field. There is
no direct contact with an electrical charge from the machine.

Credit and thanks are given to Dr Jerry Tennant for these illustrations. His book and lectures on “Healing is
Voltage” are first class.
The frequencies needed to stimulate the cells and the related emotions are fully served by CellSonic
because every pulse is a bang covering a full range of frequencies from high to low. Thevery high frequencies
are attained by the short rise time of a CellSonic pulse lasting a billionth of a second, the time taken for
electricity to travel 1 mm as it shorts across the gap in the electrode of the shock head. The resulting sound and
flash of lightning is the same as a thunder storm but smaller.
Here below is an explanation of shockwaves taken from HMT, a Swiss company I represented in
Britain before they went out of business twenty years ago. Their problem was that doctors demanded endless
clinical trials costing the company more than they could afford until they ran out of money. I then formed
CellSonic and have avoided the pitfalls that beset HMT. The electrohydraulic system is far superior to other
methods. Also important is the means of switching the high voltage passing through the electrode. CellSonic
uses the fastest possible. Slower methods suchas a cascade of thyristors cannot achieve the high frequencies
needed to restore body cells. Breaking kidney stones is one thing. Generating cell restoration is another and only
CellSonic has the frequency range needed.

III. Conclusion
The discovery that CellSonic reduces and helps remove mental depression is a valuable addition to the
medical tool kit. Drugs are not used so there are no side effects. The effects have been observed for ten years
and reported to me from different continents.
In some cases, patients with brain disease are being treated with pulses aimed directly into the brain.
Whether this is better than sending the neurons to the brain through the spinal cord remains to be seen. The brain
is surrounded by bone as is the spinal cord so the pressure and light parts of the pulse have little effect. That
leaves the electrical field and in bursts of a billionth of a second at low energy levels, no side effects are
detected. The mental improvements are accumulative. When the person grows new brain tissue or other parts of
the brain take over from the parts damaged by drugs, the person is lifted into the upper half of the emotional
spectrum where the immune system becomes active and thus starts the upward spiral of feeling better because
the body is healing. When pain is stopped, proper sleep allows the immune system to work and the person is
lifted out of gloom into a bright, smiling day.
