"In the early 1900s, frequency therapies were widely used by physicians across the US, UK, and Germany. Thousands of doctors embraced these approaches until 1934, when everything changed with the Flexner Report. By 1927, medicine had narrowed its focus to drugs and surgery only, and frequency therapies were essentially outlawed.
"The story of how FSM returned to clinical practice is almost accidental. In 1946, an osteopath and naturopath named Harry VanGelder bought a practice in Canada that came with an unusual device made in 1922 and a list of frequencies. In 1983, George Douglas, who worked with VanGelder, brought home a copy of that frequency list and tucked it away in a drawer.
"It wasn’t until 1995 that Douglas found the list again and suggested we try using these frequencies with a two-channel microcurrent device. I spent 1995 and 1996 treating muscle and nerve pain, conducting blinded treatments to ensure safety and efficacy. When I first taught this method in January 1997, I wanted to determine if the results were placebo or real. By June, it was clear – the benefits were reproducible and teachable.
"What makes this story remarkable is that we’re using modern technology to access therapeutic approaches that were nearly lost to history. The 1920s equipment wasn’t microcurrent, and the therapy wasn’t FSM as we know it today. But by combining those early frequencies with modern microcurrent devices that increase ATP production by 500%, we’ve created something that’s changing medicine."
