Understanding Microcurrent Electrotherapy (M.E.T.)
The human body converts sugars, fats, and proteins into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) – the universal energy currency that powers all cellular processes. This fundamental discovery earned the Nobel Prize in 1997.
What is Microcurrent Electrotherapy?
Microcurrent Electrotherapy (M.E.T.) is a specialized form of electrotherapy that delivers extremely small electrical currents to the body – measured in microamperes. These gentle currents mimic the body's natural cellular electrical activity, helping to restore physiological balance at the cellular level.
The Science Behind M.E.T.
Research conducted in the 1970s and 1980s revealed that healthy cells maintain a constant, natural electrical potential measured in micro or even pico amperes. When tissue damage occurs, this electrical balance is disrupted, creating a 'signal current' that triggers the body's natural repair mechanisms.
M.E.T. therapy uses currents less than 1 milliampere – 100 times smaller than typical TENS therapy – to replicate these natural healing signals and support the body's recovery processes.
Key Physiological Benefits
Enhanced Energy Production
Independent studies demonstrate that M.E.T. therapy can increase ATP production by up to 500%. This dramatic boost in cellular energy provides the body with additional resources needed for healing and recovery, reducing dependence on the body's existing energy reserves during illness or injury.
Accelerated Protein Synthesis
Tissue repair requires the creation of new proteins and cellular structures. M.E.T. significantly stimulates protein synthesis, promoting faster healing. Research shows that the current must be precisely calibrated within the microcurrent range – too little or too much reduces effectiveness.
Improved Cellular Transport
Many vital processes depend on the efficient exchange of substances across cell membranes, including nerve impulse conduction, hormone production, and muscle contraction. M.E.T. enhances this molecular transport, supporting:
- Optimal muscle function and mobility
- Healthy temperature and moisture regulation
- Mental health and cognitive function
Natural Antibacterial Effects
M.E.T. promotes galvanotaxis – the directed movement of white blood cells toward infection sites. Additionally, many harmful bacteria cannot survive in the optimized electrical environment created by microcurrent therapy.
