Detox Protocol
Addiction sufferers: You can easily learn to use Bio-electrode Therapy to relieve withdrawal distress. On this page, you will find instructions for:
1) Obtaining the electrodes (pellets or ink) and other inexpensive tools
2) Correctly applying the electrodes to yourself
3) Making an electrolyte beverage to speed healing
First, have a look at the results experienced by someone suffering from heroin withdrawal:
Essential Tools for Administering
Bio-electrode Therapy
ELECTRODES:
The two kinds of electrodes that work best for BeT are gold and silver PELLETS or copper and silver INKS. Here is where you can obtain the electrodes you prefer to use.
Sakamura Magrain Ion PELLETS (Gold and Silver)
The Magrain Ion Pellets are very convenient as Bio-electrodes, although they can sometimes be a bit challenging for those not trained in acupuncture. The pellets are on pre-cut clear adhesive tape for convenient, fast, easy application, and remain secured to the acupuncture points for 24 to 48 hour periods. Clean the skin with an alcohol swab prior to applying electrodes. The Magrain Ion electrodes are my preferred method for securing the electrodes, and can be purchased on the internet direct from various distributors.
NOTE: Since these electrodes are much smaller in diameter than those made with ink (see below), more attention to the accurate placement on the acupuncture points is required.
Silver INK Electrodes
Inks are often preferred by newcomers to BeT, since they produce a larger diameter electrode, which makes correct placement easier, will release more silver ions than the tiny Sakamura pellets, and may also provide a stronger current and electrical field. SPI Supplies is a company that provides a NO-VOC Silver Ink (paint). It is a high quality conductive, 100% water-based silver ink, designed for making high-performance electrical contacts. It is suggested that the ink is stirred or shaken well prior to use. If the ink begins to thicken, de-ionized water may be added to replace water loss or to make slight adjustments for ease of application. It is sold in .5 or 1 troy oz. jars with a brush applicator. For the clinical setting, I recommend removing the brush applicator and using stir-stick applicators (see below) or something similar, for a more precise and uniform application. The silver ink electrodes still require the New Skin Liquid Bandage or Polyurethane "Tattoo Tape" (see below) to secure the electrodes for longer treatment periods, providing continuous acupuncture point stimulation.
IMPORTANT: The NO VOC silver ink/paint is item 04961-AB. It does not require any special packaging for international shipping.

Copper INK Electrodes
Safer-Solutions manufactures a high quality conductive NO-VOC copper Ink. This ink is designed for making high-performance electrical contacts. It is suggested that the ink is stirred or shaken well prior to use. If the paint begins to thicken, deionized water may be added to replace water loss or to make slight adjustments for ease of application. It is sold in 1 troy oz. jars. Use the stir stick applicators (below) or something similar, for a more precise application of a larger ink electrode. A larger diameter electrode will release more ions, providing a stronger current and electrical field than the tiny Sakamura pellets. The copper ink electrodes require the New Skin Liquid Bandage or Polyurethane "Tattoo Tape" (see below) to secure the electrodes for longer treatment periods of continuous acupuncture point stimulation.

*NOTE: For those with easily irritated skin—or who may dislike the odor of regular New Skin—there is an odor-free, hypoallergenic alternative: New-Skin® Liquid Bandage Sensitive Skin.
Stir Stick Applicators
Stir stick applicators are used to stir up the metal ink particles in solution and to apply the electrodes to the acupuncture points. Any similar type of applicators will work fine. Buy online, at a cosmetic store, or at:

OPIOID WITHDRAWAL PROTOCOLS
GOLD and Silver (Pellets)
Important Notes:
-
The above illustrations show the protocol for WOMEN (i.e., right foot/left hand). For men, apply the protocol to the left foot and right hand.
-
The placement of the gold and silver electrodes is the OPPOSITE to that of the copper and silver (below).
COPPER and Silver (Ink)
Important Notes:
-
The above illustrations show the protocol for MEN (i.e., left foot/right hand). For women, apply the protocol to the right foot and left hand.
-
The placement of the copper and silver electrodes is the OPPOSITE to that of the gold and silver (above).
The following cautions are necessary when using BeT:
The key factor for success in BeT is the polarity of the microcurrent and the electrical field. If it is reversed, the condition being treated will worsen. Therefore, be very careful to ensure correct polarity when securing electrodes.
​
-
When using GOLD and silver electrodes, gold is always secured to the Jing-Well points numbered 1, and silver to the higher-numbered points. As a reminder, I personally always use the phrase “Gold on one.”
-
When using COPPER and silver, this is reversed: The silver electrodes are always secured to the Jing-Well points numbered 1, and copper on the larger numbered points. I use the phrase “Silver on one.”
-
Never use three different metals together when treating patients! This would result in a chaotic directional flow of energy or electrons.
Remember also that many protocols, such as Tung and Koryo (Korean Hand Therapy), use only silver electrodes.
See Treatments with copper and silver ink protocols:
ELECTROLYTE DRINK
An electrolyte-balancing beverage should be encouraged in all therapeutic settings, particularly those in which the patient is malnourished or is extremely debilitated or has suffered blood or fluid loss, or trauma like heart attack. A simple electrolyte beverage may enhance treatment efficacy and further stabilize patient wellness. Coconut juice makes a great (and great-tasting) electrolyte drink, or you can easily make your own using the following recipe.
Homemade electrolyte beverage recipe:
-
500 ml (17 oz) water
-
3 tablespoons maple syrup (raw honey is an alternative option)
-
1 tsp coarse sea salt
-
Lemon juice, to taste
-
Lime juice, to taste
Combine all ingredients and stir thoroughly. Drink throughout the day.
