Abstract

Thirty individuals with posltlve urinary tests for malondialdehyde, a major marker for free radicals, used one of two types of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulators for two to four days on thirteen acupressure points, the Ring of Crystal. There was a significant reduction of free radicals after two to four days of stimulation. The potential anti-aging and health enhancement benefits of this approach are worthy of further study.
