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."
