Photo-illustrated explanation of all available Acuscope and Myopulse accessories  Electrolyte Solutions and Conductive Creams Description of all basic Conductive Electrolyte Creams & Solutions The interface between the metal alloy tips, plates, probes, and rollers must include a conductive medium - a solution or cream - for the current to conduct through the skin without resistance. The manufacturer of the Acuscope has developed specially formulated electrolyte products for this purpose. Using them, the instruments can clearly acquire biofeedback to "read" and analyze the condition of the cells, and deliver the precisely configured corrective influence into the tissue via microcurrent carrier waves. Acuscope-Myopulse List of Items for a Treatment Room A complete list of items considered necessary when setting up a treatment room. Setting up your Instrument Cart Here is the recommended layout of Accessories and Supplies on the shelves of your roll cart and on top of the top stacked instrument in a Clinical Setting. *********************************************************************************** Here, below, is a comprehensive list of items that are of practical value for any Acuscope-Myopulse Treatment Room. As you will see, these are items that are NOT provided by the Acuscope manufacturer or Distributor with your equipment purchase. They are recommended by your Trainer, Jan Rossen Dacri! You will find links to on-line sources for each item. It's a long page, so keep scrolling . . . all the way down. *********************************************************************************** ACCESSORY TRAY STAND  A perfect place to set down the probes, solution cup, spatulas, solutions and creams being used during treatment. The Instand can be lifted and moved from place to place effortlessly. The height is easily adjusted. We suggest that you place a white hand towel on top of the non-slip surface. Place conveniently next to your treatment table.   Also, if you are showing a DVD, a PowerPoint, or a website to a Patient, an Instand can be placed for best viewing the screen. (Lower tray is optional. Good for placing cell phones.) OTHER ACCESSORY TRAY OPTIONS: BE SURE TO NOTE THAT THESE ARE LIGHTWEIGHT TROLLEYS FOR ACCESSORIES ONLY - NOT TO BE USED TO HOLD THE ACUSCOPE & MYOPULSE UNITS. SEE "EQUIPMENT ROLL CARTS" BELOW FOR THAT PURPOSE. From Sally Beauty Supply Called "Facial Trolley." It is easily moved around the room on casters.  Or, you may prefer the "Foldaway Service Tray" on casters; also from Sally Beauty Supply - on the SAME Website page - CLICK HERE - Price of this Accessory Tray: $79.00 ******************************************************************************************************************** SURGE PROTECTOR An absolute necessity to protect your Acuscope-Myopulse System. A sudden power surge, spike, or other electrical abnormality may be harmful to the Charger, Battery, charging circuitry, and/or other components. Better to be safe than sorry! Here are two we highly recommend:  Tripp Lite 8 Outlet Industrial Safety Surge Protector Power Strip with 12 Ft Wrappable Cord (TLM812SA) $ 33.60  APC P11VT3 3020 SurgeArrest 11 Outlet $19.98 THESE TWO CHOICES are practical because the Acuscope and Myopulse Charger Modules are bulky and these outlets are spaced far enough apart to accommodate the three Chargers of a Complete three instrument System. ************************************************************************************************************************** ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION CUPS Necessary! To dip the Probe Tips when using Trigger Probe and Non-Trigger Probe or Y-Probe or Grand Ball Probe or Twin Tip Trigger Probe. Also  used for mixing Solutions & Creams together to be scooped out with Plastic Scooper (see below).NEW!

No double-dipping . . . to avoid contamination!Purchase in quantities of 25, 50, 100, 200, or 500. This spatula is perfectly flat. Other types have a small cup-like scooper which is impractical for our purposes. ************************************************************************************************************************** SMALL WATER SPRAY BOTTLE Keep a small Water Spray Bottle filled with Distilled Water on your equipment cart.

A Crock Pot works great for this purpose. Be sure to have some water in the bottom, don't let it get dry while still on. Use a tongs to safely lift out the steaming hot cloths. Be sure to plug it in far enough away from the Acuscope and Myopulse so it doesn't interfere by radiating wall-current EMF.

Simply step, march, lift one foot at a time, or rock from side-to-side on the rubberized surface. No jarring impact on the spine, joints, or organs. Safely improves Lymphatic Circulation. Holding onto the "Stabilizing Bar" is secure and safe even for those still in pain or not yet finished recovering after an accident or surgery. Fun with your favorite music! The best one available by far is the Needak Rebounder. Its sturdy construction and top grade materials will last for ages. The Folding model can be easily folded in half for taking with you (after the bar is removed, of course). Comes with a convenient carrying case. Specifically, this one: Folding Soft-Bounce Rebounder w/ Stabilizing Bar ("Skirt covering the springs are available in several colors.) ********************************************************************************* INDOOR WORKOUT SHOES These are the perfect indoor exercise shoes. I call them "Flexible Breathers" because of the featherweight, porous material; and they bend completely in the middle! Ideal for use on the Rebounder, and for stretching using a non-slip mat. The straight cut toe provides a visual line for alignment of the feet; the completely flexible mid-section allows for lifting, holding under the arch, stretching. Not for outdoor use.  ********************************************************************************* NON-SLIP FLOOR MATS Non-Slip Floor Mats are available everywhere today.

The therapeutic benefits of breathing the sweet, pungent aroma blends of natural herbs, spices, and oils cannot be overestimated.

It is both delicious for the Olfactory (smell) Sense as well as helpful to the Endocrine System.  These blends help the body to attain "Whole Body Positive Health" according to Dr. Debrah Zepf, one of our most beloved Practitioners, who did her PhD Thesis on this subject.

A different blend for each of the Energy Centers (glands) of the Human Body. You can easily incorporate the use of Aroma Therapy into your Healthcare Practice in combination with Acuscope-Myopulse Treatments. And enjoy using Aroma Therapy in your personal life as well.

Or call Dr. Zepf's office directly to order: 303-249-742 ********************************************************************************* INDOOR PLANTS It is a great concept to have live plants producing oxygen for you and your Patients/Clients to breathe in an enclosed indoor space like your treatment room. If natural sunlight is minimal or even non-existent in your room(s), you can still have live plants growing, cleansing and delivering fresh air into the environment we all must breathe! Add Full Spectrum Lighting and you can have as many plants as you wish . . .  This (photo left) is the Philodendron Brasil. My favorite plant! Heart-shaped leaves; each uniquely patterned leaf emerges in three colors of green. Other great indoor plants are Pothos, ZeeZee (Zamofolia), Scheffelera, Lucky Bamboo, and Pachira ("Good Fortune") Plants. For a photo-illustrated look at THE BEST PLANTS TO BREATHE BY - CLICK HERE  THE VERY BEST liquid indoor Plant Food available is Eleanor's VF-11!I've tried them ALL over the years, and this one truly makes plants thrive!

CLICK HERE Here is a link to the Full Spectrum Light Bulbs you can use for this purpose, available on Amazon:  Install Track Lighting so that the light shines from about 5 feet away from the leaves.

Or this attractive white Lamp with a wooden base allows for adjustment of the light to any angle. *******************************************************************************************************************   Holding quartz and other crystals in your hands feels good. These clear quartz heart-shaped crystals fit perfectly into the contour of the palm, while the fingers wrap comfortably around the smooth rounded shape. Hand to patients to hold during treatment, especially during relaxation procedure.  A pendulum can steady the mind, swinging right and left or back and forth while holding another crystal in the other hand. Breathe in long slow, deep exhalations and inhalations to help circulate oxygen and energy. It is thought that crystals are made of trapped frequencies, hence their color. Shown below are a set that correspond to the "Chakras" (glands of the Endocrine System; energy centers of the body and head). From left to right (base to crown):  Green Quartz To purchase a set of the above heart-shaped crystals, call Jewelry & Mineral of Las Vegas 702.733.7166 and ask for Mike.
