Alpha-Stim in Australia

 A video from the Australian division of Alpha-Stim.  In Australia, Alpha-Stim is sold over-the-counter. Why it is still a prescription device in the U.S. has more to do with politics of our medical system than it does a realistic account of the safety and benefits of cranial electrical stimulation.

“We can sell Alpha-Stim® technology over-the-counter in every nation but the USA. We have introduced the Alpha-Stim® SCS initially in Europe, Canada, and Australia, and we are beginning to market it in Asia and most of the rest of the world. The product is safer than aspirin, so there is no reason Alpha-Stim® technology shouldn’t be sold over-the-counter. Unfortunately, the regulatory process in the United States is so expensive and difficult that I don’t see that happening here in the near future."

Treating Depression: Is there a placebo effect?

Harvard scientist Dr. Irving Kirsch (no relation to Dr. Daniel Kirsch of EPI) says the drugs used to treat depression are effective, but for many, it's not the active ingredient that's making people feel better. It's the placebo effect. Irving Kirsch is Associate Director of the Program in Placebo Studies and a lecturer in medicine at the Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He is also a professor of psychology at Plymouth University in the United Kingdom, and professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Hull, United Kingdom, and the University of Connecticut in the United States. Kirsch is noted for his research on placebo effects, antidepressants, expectancy, and hypnosis. He is the originator of response expectancy theory, and his analyses of clinical trials of antidepressants have influenced official treatment guidelines in the United Kingdom.
