Detox Protocol
Addiction sufferers: You can easily learn to use Bio-electrode Therapy to relieve withdrawal distress and specific pains. On this page, you will find instructions for:
1) Obtaining the electrodes 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
THE ELECTRODES:
The Gold and Silver Sakamura Magrain Ion electrodes are quick, easy and efficient to apply with tweezers, and they function and adhere very well. These Japanese pellets (electrodes) have been used by Chinese medicine practitioners for decades and are the recommended "Gold Standard" for treating pain and addictions.
To purchase the Sakamura Magraine Ion gold and silver (you need both) electrodes, you can find them online or at any local acupuncture supply store: Journalofchinesemedicine
NOTE: When applying any electrode metal pairs to the body, it is important to ensure the correct polarity.
The established microcurrent must flow in alignment with the directional flow of Qi, from gold to the silver electrode. The correct placement and polarity for over 60 common conditions are illustrated in color in the Bio-electrode Therapy clinical manual. Thoroughly clean the acupuncture points before securing the electrodes, and... double check your electrode placement.

Polyurethane Adhesive Patches
Copper and silver electrode solutions: deliver targeted stimulation to selected acupuncture points while generating an electrical field along and around the meridians. The advantage of usng copper and silver metals is that they offer potent antimicrobial properties—a valuable benefit in mitigating global antimicrobial resistance risks. Additionally, these formulations contain no VOCs.
Note: Always conduct a patch test for patients with known copper sensitivities or allergies.
Preparation & Clinical Application
-
Transfer: Use a large-barrel syringe to draw and transfer the water-based solutions into 3 mL glass bottles (amber or cobalt blue) for clinical use.
-
Mix: Stir or shake the ink thoroughly before application. If needed, mix in a tiny amount of de-ionized water to adjust and maintain ideal consistency.
-
Apply: Thoroughly clean and prep the acupuncture points before positioning the electrodes and securing them with polyurethane adhesive patches.
Purchase the electrode solutions directly from the manufacturers.

Stir stick applicators are used to stir up the metal ink particles in solution and for applying the electrodes to the acupuncture points. One can purchase the applicators online, at a cosmetic store, or at:
Eyeliner Applicators - HollyNorth Production Supplies Ltd.
The polyurethane patches: (400/pack) are patches used to secure the electrodes for longer duration. The patches, also known as Pimple Patches can be found on-line, or at a pharmacy.
Skin Tac Adhesive: found in any pharmacy, is useful for providing additional, prolonged adhesion when applied topically on the patches. Or you can apply the Skin Tac directly on the "dry" electrodes and then apply the PU patches.
CAUTION: When treating addictions, opioids in particular, it is strongly advised against relying solely on detoxification and withdrawal management as a standalone treatment for opioid dependency. This approach poses significant risks, as individuals who relapse post-withdrawal often experience a rapid decline in opioid tolerance, heightening the likelihood of overdose. Instead, a comprehensive strategy incorporating medical, social, and ideally familial support is deemed essential. BeT is a unique adjunctive integrative medicine approach to be used along with counselling and residential treatment if and when these services are available.

ELECTROLYTE DRINK
Hydration with 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 a heart attack. A simple electrolyte beverage may enhance treatment efficacy and further stabilize patient wellness. Coconut water 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.
