## Resource

I removed last week's episode because I made too many errors in talking about red leads and black leads on e-stim devices. This episode covers the difference between Direct Current and Alternating Current, the advantages of each and the safety reasons for Electric Stimulation Acupuncture devices to be AC Biphasic. I talk about the differences between the Pointers, the ITO ES-130 and the Pantheon and a little about microcurrent. Online Courses: https://richardhazel.podia.com
