A free guide to FSM training is available there for licensed practitioners. https://frequencyspecific.com/how-to-choose-your-fsm-core-training Hosts: Carolyn McMain, MA, DC &  Kim Pittis, LCSP, (PHYS), MT In this Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) podcast episode, Dr. Carol and Kim Pittis discuss why FSM education must go beyond scripts and mode-bank templates to real-time clinical pivoting based on history, mechanism of injury, and assessment. They share seminar and practicum cases where standard protocols failed until they addressed concussions and long axonal injuries (medulla/pons), suspected muscle tears, scarring, and emotional trauma (terror, anger) affecting tissue tone. The conversation covers athletes' off-season rehab, restoring body awareness via sensory/motor cortex support, and combining FSM with biomechanics, taping, footwear, and safe isometrics to retrain movement. They emphasize a results-driven care model (not long-term monthly visits), discuss vagus-mediated immune regulation and macrophage "cleanup," skepticism and the need for published data, and practical treatment considerations like alternating vs positive polarity and home devices with remote programming.   00:00 Scripts To Real Thinking 00:58 Inflammation And VMO Activation 01:28 Podcast Intro And Sneak Peek 03:46 Mindset Over Protocols 05:18 Core Seminar Off-Script Wins 06:46 Concussion Medulla Pons Case 11:30 Shoulder Tear And Pivoting 15:58 Templates Not Algorithms 19:26 Athletes Movement Confidence 21:41 PrecisionCare Versus CustomCare 23:03 Why FSM Is Not Mainstream 27:01 Skepticism, Joy, and Emotions 29:36 Terror Anger Stored In Fascia 32:37 Pain Flares As Useful Data 34:36 Reassess After Change 35:25 Fast Relief Slow Retraining 36:31 Isometrics For Safe Patterns 37:58 Rehab Course Bridge Skills 40:36 Visceral Core Vagus Focus 42:19 Data And Parasympathetic Proof 43:53 Vagus Inflammation Strategy 48:56 Why Muscles Shut Off 52:32 Fix The Foot Fix The Knee 53:59 Care Plans And Home Units 57:44 Alternating Versus Positive 59:36 Wrap Up And Schedule 01:00:32 Medical Disclaimer

A free guide to FSM training is available there for licensed practitioners. https://frequencyspecific.com/how-to-choose-your-fsm-core-training Hosts: Carolyn McMakin, MA, DC, &  Kim Pittis, LCSP, (PHYS), MT In this Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) podcast episode, the hosts discuss mindset and race preparation, including using FSM (even in a sauna), yoga, meditation, and balance work, and connect performance gains to often-neglected intrinsic foot muscles and tarsal/talus mobility. Dr. Carol Kim Pittis explains how restricted tarsal and talus motion can disrupt gait mechanics and how tools like an activator may stimulate proprioceptors. She then recounts a home visit with an 83-year-old man with four prior spine surgeries and severe chronic pain; a CT scan revealed extensive fusion (including pelvis), lateral vertebral shift, and hardware issues that changed the care plan away from forcing upright posture and toward safe walking, lower-leg/foot mobility, and symptom management. After targeted FSM protocols and supportive strategies, his leg circulation improved, and he became virtually pain-free, highlighting the importance of imaging, clinical judgment, and resetting goals and expectations. 00:00 Mindset for Racing 00:32 Foot Mechanics Matter 01:02 FSM Podcast Intro 01:28 Goals, Expectations, and Shoulds 03:13 Personal Best Breakdown 05:07 Tarsals, Talus, and Balance 10:41 Foot Model Show and Tell 15:04 House Call Spine Case 17:16 CT Scan Changes Everything 21:19 FSM Protocol and Recovery 29:58 Clinical Instinct and Authority 35:50 Imaging Stories and Running 36:52 Disc Healing and Imaging 37:48 When to Order Scans 39:27 Advocating for Imaging 41:45 Fall Prevention Reality 43:28 Processing Missed Care 45:19 Choosing the Right Modality 47:30 Knee and Shoulder Protocols 49:25 Safety and Sensitization 51:13 Goals and Hard Limits 52:40 Alcohol Gene Factoid 55:06 Continuing Education Nuggets 58:39 Practitioner Mindset Pivot 01:01:55 Deal Breakers and Buy In 01:04:19 Diet Negotiation Tactics

She discusses practical musculoskeletal approaches for common complaints like low back and hip pain, including how to prioritize protocols when limited to one to three machines, and how to peel back treatments after an initial pain reduction to identify what helped. Kim also emphasizes patient education, the impact of diagnostic labels and wording (nocebo/placebo), and coaching patients toward hopeful future goals. Dr. Sosnowski joins to highlight the importance of sleep, frequent undiagnosed sleep apnea, testing and retesting strategies, and alternatives to lifelong CPAP dependence, alongside simple sleep hygiene ideas like morning sunlight exposure.   00:00 FSM Works With Everything 01:30 Solo Episode Kickoff 03:21 Orthobiologics And FSM 05:35 Post Treatment Pacing 07:36 Low Back Strategy Basics 10:41 Three Machine Setup 13:06 Reset With Walking 15:52 Peel Back The Onion 18:23 Diagnoses And Labels 21:31 Words Shape Healing 28:25 Future Focused Questions 31:36 Sleep As A Healing Lever 35:07 Sleep Healing Nuggets 35:34 Nudging Physiology Not Forcing 37:50 Explaining FSM to Patients 40:19 Fascia Smush and Thixotropy 43:37 Sleep Apnea Reality Check 47:41 Testing, Retesting, and CPAP Options 50:24 Clinical Q&A Low Back IT Band Pain 55:56 Nature Sunlight and Circadian Reset 58:38 Heart Coherence and Gratitude 01:00:05 Sleep Position Hacks and Wrap Up 01:02:14 Podcast Disclaimer

Understanding these frequencies' role and how to apply them effectively can transform patient outcomes. The treatment involves two primary phases: "Wipe" and "Load," which serve distinct functions within a therapy session. **Wipe and Load Technique** The "Wipe" phase focuses on alleviating existing dysfunctional patterns. By using specific frequencies, practitioners can address prior traumas and reestablish a foundation for healing. This step is crucial as it prepares the tissue for the subsequent "Load" phase. In the "Load" phase, practitioners reinforce optimal patterns of movement and function. This is where increased secretions in the cerebellum and sensory motor cortex come into play, ensuring the coordinated and smooth movement of joints and muscles. **Key Frequencies and Their Applications** 1. **Vitality Boosting**: Some practitioners explore using vitality frequencies (like 49) across all tissues, offering a systemic boost to health and energy levels. This can complement traditional treatments and enhance overall well-being. 2. **Nerve Pain Management**: Treating nerve pain, particularly diabetic or post-surgical neuropathies, involves using frequencies tailored to specific viral or bacterial influences. For instance, adding flu virus frequencies to a diabetic neuropathy protocol if recent illness exacerbated symptoms can hasten recovery. 3. **Post-Trauma Adjustments**: Addressing scar tissue with a comprehensive approach involves more than just targeting scars themselves. Understanding the underlying story of how the trauma occurred and integrating related frequencies can lead to more profound healing. **Patient Education and Customization** Patient education remains a cornerstone of successful FSM therapy. Enabling patients to understand their condition's intricacies and the rationale behind their treatment helps foster compliance and optimize outcomes. Practitioners are urged to customize protocol based on detailed patient histories and presenting symptoms, allowing for adaptive treatment strategies that are dynamic and responsive to each individual's healing process. **Integrating Reflective Practice** FSM therapy is not just a static application of technology but a continually evolving practice. Engaging with recent developments and insights into the frequencies' functionalities urges practitioners to remain curious and innovative. Practitioners are encouraged to embrace new findings and methodologies that arise, ensuring their practice remains at the forefront of patient care.

One vital aspect that practitioners can explore is the integration of emotional frequencies into treatments aimed at enhancing brain plasticity. To increase brain plasticity, it's essential to facilitate the secretion of beneficial neurochemicals through the vagus nerve. By doing so, medical practitioners can leverage the vagus nerve's ability to regulate various body functions, including the inflammatory response, emotional balance, and even the growth of nerve fibers. This holistic approach is crucial, especially when dealing with cases involving trauma, both physical and emotional. **The Role of Sequencing in Treatment** When administering treatments, it's not uncommon to encounter practitioners who prioritize emotional frequencies right off the bat. However, the foundation of a successful treatment plan lies in acknowledging and addressing the physical condition first. Physical examinations, including range of motion, reflex, and sensory tests, allow practitioners to chart objective progress, which is an indispensable part of comprehensive patient care. Once the physical aspects are addressed, practitioners can begin to layer in emotional frequencies. This sequencing is crucial for harnessing the patient's energy effectively and directing it towards healing. The principle here is that unresolved emotional energies can redirect the body's healing capacity, thus delaying recovery. By systematically navigating through these layers—ranging from fear and anger to grief and joy—practitioners can aid in unblocking stored emotions, thereby promoting holistic healing. **Techniques for Addressing Complex Patient Histories**  In cases where patients present complex histories, such as early childhood trauma compounded by recent medical issues like COVID or stroke, a multi-machine, multi-frequency approach may be warranted. For instance, targeting the midbrain with specific frequencies, addressing scarring in the vagus nerve, and focusing on regions prone to trauma can yield significant improvements. These treatments can lead to observable changes, such as visual and vestibular corrections, which highlight the interconnected nature of physical and emotional health. By increasing neurochemical support through techniques like increasing axonal growth factors, practitioners can help rebuild neural pathways and improve patient conditions—sometimes even reversing the sense of imbalance within the body. **Navigating Emotional Frequencies with Precision** Medical practitioners should be equipped to introduce emotional frequencies into their regimens with precision. The fascia, likened to a jump drive, stores these emotions; thus, treating emotions that are trapped within the fascia involves quieting the brain regions that store them.

Patients are encouraged to choose practitioners who make them feel comfortable, listen attentively, and explain procedures thoroughly. Additionally, it is vital for practitioners to act as patient educators and advocates, ensuring that patients are aware of their options and understand what to expect from surgical and post-operative care. Importance of Surgical Notes Accessing detailed surgical notes is essential for creating a customized and effective post-operative care plan. Surgical notes provide insights into the procedural steps taken during surgery, highlighting areas that may require focused rehabilitation or specific therapeutic interventions.  Customized Post-Operative Care  - Utilizing FSM to address specific post-operative complications such as inflammation and adhesions. - Developing tailored protocols that may involve restoring joint function, reducing pain, and improving muscle or tissue healing. - Implementing FSM for emotional support, addressing emotional stress or trauma that can accompany physical injuries and surgeries. Managing Emotional Aspects in Healing  FSM is also used to manage emotional components intertwined with physical healing. Addressing emotions such as anger, fear, and grief using specific frequencies is integral to comprehensive care. Understanding the psychology behind these emotions and treating them in a methodical sequence can significantly improve patient responses and recovery. Proprioception and Vestibular Considerations  In patients who have undergone significant anatomical changes post-surgery, proprioceptive recalibration is crucial. Changes in gait or balance may necessitate proprioceptive exercises and FSM treatment for vestibular injuries to restore equilibrium and prevent dizziness or disorientation.

In today's episode of Astronomy Daily, Anna and Avery cover five major stories from across the cosmos. SpaceX Crew-12 is targeting Thursday February 12th for launch to the International Space Station, after weather pushed back the Wednesday window. Meet the international crew of four and find out why this mission will run longer than usual. Our Sun has been active overnight, with sunspot region AR4366 firing off four M-class flares including an M2.8 that triggered a radio blackout over the Pacific. We look at what this means for space weather and aurora watchers. A stunning new study from Penn State, published in PNAS, has rewritten how scientists think amino acids formed in asteroid Bennu — and the implications for where life's ingredients can arise in the universe are profound. Italian scientists have confirmed the first lava tube on Venus, using 30-year-old radar data from NASA's Magellan mission. The structure is larger than any lava tube found on Earth, the Moon, or Mars. And finally — could coal be the key to finding advanced alien civilisations? A provocative new paper in the International Journal of Astrobiology makes the case. All stories sourced from NASA, Nature Communications, PNAS, and Phys.org. Links below.

Hosts: Carolyn McMakin, MA, DC       &       Kim Pittis, LCSP, (PHYS), MT 01:37 Patient Case Study: Phantom Limb Pain 09:13 Understanding Liver Health and Detoxification 17:48 Addressing Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease 29:51 Treating TMJ with FSM 34:17 Understanding Trigger Points and TMJ 37:01 Exploring Eczema and Its Causes 40:27 Post-ACL Reconstruction and Rehabilitation 49:19 Addressing Dementia and Its Potential Causes 55:28 Innovations in Surgical Solutions for Arthritis 57:11 Conclusion and Final Thoughts In the realm of medical practice, understanding various pain management and treatment techniques is essential, especially for medical professionals dealing with complex conditions. This guide delves into methods for treating various kinds of pain, nerve issues, and conditions such as liver toxicity, TMJ, and osteoporosis, as well as discussing new insights into dementia related to sensory loss. **Managing Phantom Limb Pain** Phantom limb pain can occur when nerves are damaged, leading to sensations in a limb that is no longer present. A case in point is the experience of nerve damage in the big toe, where the perceived pain resembles that of a phantom limb. Identifying and running specific treatment protocols such as 40/89 can be effective in alleviating such pain. **Understanding Trigger Points** Trigger points in muscles like the upper trapezius are often symptoms rather than causes of pain. They might originate from other underlying issues such as rotator cuff injuries. Treatment should focus on repairing associated injuries and reducing muscle tension through methods like running specific protocols tailored to nerve and muscle conditions. **Liver Health and Detoxification** The liver plays a crucial role in detoxifying the body, and certain conditions like cirrhosis require targeted treatment. Managing liver health may involve treating for toxicity, anesthesia, and providing support through supplements like lipoic acid and milk thistle. Protocols for conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver focus on dietary management, particularly the reduction of carbohydrate intake. **Restoring Muscle and Joint Function** In treating joint issues such as TMJ, understanding the biomechanical contributions is vital. A detailed approach involves treating torn or broken ligaments and connective tissues. For post-surgical recovery, such as ACL reconstruction, encouraging the appropriate exercises without further straining repaired tendons is key. Coordinated movement must be restored cautiously to ensure proper healing. **Dealing with Eczema and Immune System Responses** Eczema can often be linked to immune responses and is treated by addressing histamine levels and inflammation. It's often associated with other conditions such as MCAS, and a multi-pronged treatment approach that targets the immune system, skin, and gut health is often beneficial. **Dementia and Sensory Loss** The loss of olfactory senses (smell) can be a predictor of dementia. Understanding the relationship between sensory loss and cognitive decline is critical in early intervention. Questions regarding vaccination effects, particularly related to COVID-19, should be explored as they might impact the onset or progression of symptoms. Pain management and treatment are multifaceted, requiring a comprehensive understanding of the physiological and neurological factors involved. By addressing underlying causes of symptoms like phantom limb pain, improving liver function, and adopting holistic approaches to conditions like eczema and dementia, medical professionals can enhance treatment outcomes. Understanding these dynamics can empower healthcare providers to offer more effective interventions for various complex conditions.

They may not develop overnight and often come with complex precursors. Examining the role of Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) as an adjunctive treatment reveals insightful perspectives for managing these sensitivities effectively. This article highlights key discussions from experts on this topic. **The Genesis of Food Sensitivities** It's essential to recognize that food sensitivities originate from several factors, including genetics and environmental influences. Dr. Carol explains that the immune system, primarily located around the digestive tract, reacts to foreign proteins after they pass through a possibly compromised gut wall, leading to what's referred to as "leaky gut." Stress, medication, and diet intricacies all play crucial roles in how these sensitivities manifest. *Food Sensitivity Testing: A Billion-Dollar Industry** Kim Pittis emphasizes the burgeoning business of food sensitivity panels. Despite their prevalence, the accuracy of these tests has raised skepticism. Instances where identical blood samples sent under different identities yield varied results underscore the need for caution. This discrepancy further emphasizes the importance of alternative approaches, such as elimination diets and dietary adjustments. **Introducing FSM as an Adjunct Treatment** Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) emerges as a promising supportive tool for those navigating the complexities of food sensitivities. FSM addresses underlying issues that exacerbate food sensitivities, such as leaky gut and vagus nerve dysfunction. It works in tandem with elimination diets to enhance recovery and comfort for patients experiencing these health challenges. **Unraveling the Body's Complex Reactions** As detailed by Dr. Carol, food sensitivities often result in IgG antibody formation, leading to histamine release and systemic responses like body pain and inflammation. These reactions can persist and significantly affect quality of life. Understanding the body's complex immune response to continuous exposure to specific foods and the subsequent formation of food sensitivities is crucial. **Practical Applications: Case Examples** The narrative includes practical applications and real-life examples illustrating how FSM can effectively complement traditional treatments. By repairing compromised gut linings and modulating immune responses, FSM aids in reducing the duration and intensity of food sensitivity reactions, thus promoting more efficient healing.

In this episode of The New Quantum Era, your host Sebastian Hassinger is joined by Chetan Nayak, Technical Fellow at Microsoft, professor of physics at the University of California Santa Barbara, and driving force behind Microsoft's quantum hardware R&D program. They discuss a modality of qubit that has not been covered on the podcast before, based on Majorana fermonic behaviors, which have the promise of providing topological protection against the errors which are such a challenge to quantum computing. Guest Bio Chetan Nayak is a Technical Fellow at Microsoft and leads the company's topological quantum hardware program, including the Majorana‑1 processor based on Majorana‑zero‑mode qubits.  He is also a professor of physics at UCSB and a leading theorist in topological phases of matter, non‑Abelian anyons, and topological quantum computation.  Chetan co‑founded Microsoft's Station Q  in 2005, building a bridge from theoretical proposals for topological qubits to engineered semiconductor–superconductor devices. What we talk about Chetan's first exposure to quantum computing in Peter Shor's lectures at the Institute for Advanced Study, and how that intersected with his PhD work with Frank Wilczek on non‑Abelian topological phases and Majorana zero modes.  The early days of topological quantum computation: fractional quantum Hall states at , emergent quasiparticles, and the realization that braiding these excitations naturally implements Clifford gates.  How Alexei Kitaev's toric‑code and Majorana‑chain ideas connected abstract topology to concrete condensed‑matter systems, and led to Chetan's collaboration with Michael Freedman and Sankar Das Sarma.  The 2005 proposal for a gallium‑arsenide quantum Hall device realizing a topological qubit, and the founding of Station Q to turn such theoretical blueprints into experimental devices in partnership with academic labs.  Why Microsoft pivoted from quantum Hall platforms to semiconductor–superconductor nanowires: leveraging the Fu–Kane proximity effect, spin–orbit‑coupled semiconductors, and a huge material design space—while wrestling with the challenges of interfaces and integration.  The evolution of the tetron architecture: two parallel topological nanowires with four Majorana zero modes, connected by a trivial superconducting wire and coupled to quantum dots that enable native Z‑ and X‑parity loop measurements.  How topological superconductivity allows a superconducting island to host even or odd total electron parity without a local signature, and why that nonlocal encoding provides hardware‑level protection for the qubit's logical 0 and 1.  Microsoft's roadmap in a 2D “quality vs. complexity” space: improving topological gap, readout signal‑to‑noise, and measurement fidelity while scaling from single tetrons to error‑corrected logical qubits and, ultimately, utility‑scale systems.  Error correction on top of topological qubits: using surface codes and Hastings–Haah Floquet codes with native two‑qubit parity measurements, and targeting hundreds of physical tetrons per logical qubit and thousands of logical qubits for applications like Shor's algorithm and quantum chemistry.  Engineering for scale: digital, on–off control of quantum‑dot couplings; cryogenic CMOS to fan out control lines inside the fridge; and why tetron size and microsecond‑scale operations sit in a sweet spot for both physics and classical feedback.  Where things stand today: the Majorana‑1 chiplet, recent tetron loop‑measurement experiments, DARPA's US2QC program, and how external users—starting with government and academic partners—will begin to access these devices before broader Azure Quantum integration. Papers and resources mentionedThese are representative papers and resources that align with topics and allusions in the conversation; they are good entry points if you want to go deeper.Non‑Abelian Anyons and Topological Quantum Computation – S.

Patients may inadvertently cling to their pain, viewing it as a form of control or normalcy within a chaotic family structure. Addressing these dynamics sensitively is crucial to effective treatment. **FSM's Unique Approach to Pain and Scar Tissue** FSM offers an innovative way to address pain that stems from scar tissue and inflamed nerves. Traditional medical systems often lack tools to relieve patients from such chronic pain effectively. FSM tackles this issue by focusing on the fundamental cause: the scar tissue within nerves. By addressing these physical barriers, FSM provides relief where standard treatments may falter. **Case Study: Overcoming Chronic Nerve Pain** Consider the scenario of a patient who has undergone multiple surgeries and suffers from persistent sciatica due to scarred nerves. FSM can improve sensation and reduce pain levels by utilizing specific frequencies targeting the affected nerves and their surrounding structures. Through meticulous manipulation and microcurrent application, practitioners can transform a patient's experience from constant unyielding pain to manageable levels, allowing for a renewed quality of life. **Addressing Comorbid Conditions** Pain rarely appears in isolation. Conditions such as kidney toxicity, allergic skin reactions, or systemic causes like inflammation from menopause may exacerbate a patient's situation. FSM can address these underlying issues by employing targeted frequencies that alleviate symptoms and restore balance to affected organs. **The Necessity for Patience in Treatment** A critical element of successful FSM treatment is patience—for both the practitioner and the patient. Chronic conditions often require multiple sessions to achieve notable improvements. Encouraging patients to trust the process and embrace incremental progress is vital to successful outcomes. **Special Considerations: Allergies and Autoimmunity** When dealing with conditions like allergic skin rashes, it's crucial to address both the symptomology and the immune system's overreaction. By running sequences that mitigate allergic responses and enhance vagus nerve function, FSM can provide relief from chronic allergic manifestations. **The Role of the Practitioner: Creating Customized Solutions** Medical practitioners are encouraged to incorporate FSM by tailoring it to the unique needs of each patient. The versatility of FSM's frequency applications allows clinicians to craft individualized treatment protocols—ranging from sciatica pain management to addressing internal organ complications like kidney stones or interstitial cystitis.

When faced with challenging cases where progress seems stalled, revisiting these foundational assessments can often reveal overlooked insights. Encouragingly, even the smallest improvements in a patient's quality of life or pain reduction signify substantial progress and should be celebrated as such. ### Understanding the Neurophysiology of Pain For effective pain management, it is crucial to address the central nervous system's role. Pain is often exacerbated or misunderstood due to centrally sensitized conditions, where patients may perceive their pain levels to be disproportionately high. Recognizing these patterns and responding with neurological treatments can help in reducing the body's exaggerated pain response. ### Scarring and its Impact on Mobility When treating persistent abdominal and muscular pain, it is essential to factor in scarring as a significant contributor. Scarring can inhibit muscle function and neural pathways, thereby exacerbating pain or limiting motion. By focusing on reducing scar tissue and enhancing mobility, practitioners can achieve notable improvements in patient outcomes. ### Effective Use of Frequency Specific Therapeutics Incorporating frequency-specific approaches offers a promising frontier in treating complex conditions unresponsive to conventional therapies. By targeting specific cellular functions, practitioners can modulate bodily responses and alleviate symptoms related to nerve and muscle dysfunction. Identifying and using the correct frequencies for issues like nerve pain, muscle hardness, or unresolved systemic conditions can revolutionize patient care. ### Addressing Misdiagnosed Pain Sources Frequent misdiagnoses occur when only one aspect of pain is treated without considering the interconnections within the body. Practitioners are encouraged to adopt a holistic approach—examining musculature, nerve pathways, and cognitive factors simultaneously. This integrated view can uncover underlying issues like trigger points or misunderstood nerve damage. ### The Role of Stories and Continuous Learning Sharing clinical stories and experiences is an invaluable practice for medical professionals. These narratives provide context and enrich theoretical knowledge, making lessons more relatable and memorable. As practitioners progress in their careers, continuous reflection on past cases coupled with ongoing education will enhance their diagnostic and treatment capabilities.

It can manifest due to various reasons, including long-term COVID-19 effects, traumatic brain injuries, autoimmune disorders, or nutritional deficiencies. Identifying the root cause is crucial for targeted treatment. Practitioners are encouraged to explore underlying issues such as inflammation, prior head injuries, and even dietary influences, as gluten sensitivity is known to contribute to brain fog. ### Treatment Protocols: - Employ FSM brain fog protocols tailored to the suspected underlying cause. - Combine FSM with anti-inflammatory protocols and nutritional support to enhance cognitive function. - Consider functional medicine assessments for potential autoimmune influences contributing to cognitive impairment. ## Addressing Neurological and Autoimmune Disorders Neurological issues like frozen shoulder, anxiety, and depression often have deeper roots in systemic inflammation or autoimmunity. Understanding the interconnectedness of these conditions can aid in creating a more holistic treatment plan. ### Approach: - Employ FSM protocols for inflammation and specific tissue types to alleviate physical symptoms and improve mobility in cases like frozen shoulder. - In cases of anxiety or depression, consider FSM as part of a broader treatment plan that includes examining potential autoimmune components. - Education on the impact of environmental and dietary factors, such as gluten intake and mold exposure, can also be critical in managing these disorders. ## Supporting Detoxification and Chronic Conditions Patients with chronic illnesses such as Lyme disease, mold exposure, and multiple chemical sensitivities often experience heightened sensitivity to electromagnetic fields and other stimuli, complicating treatment.  ### Strategies: - Begin treatments at low FSM intensity settings for highly sensitive individuals to prevent overwhelming detox reactions. - Use adjunctive therapies, such as detox supplements and homeopathic remedies, to support the body's natural detox pathways alongside FSM protocols. - Ensure thorough documentation of patients' responses to different treatments to continually adapt and refine therapeutic approaches. ## The Role of Functional Testing Functional testing can be invaluable in uncovering the hidden complexities of chronic conditions. Tests for autoimmune markers, food sensitivities, and chronic infections should be considered standard practice for patients presenting with persistent or complex symptoms. ### Testing Recommendations: - Conduct comprehensive panels to screen for autoimmune activity, chronic infections, and nutritional deficiencies. - Use test results to tailor FSM and other therapeutic interventions to address specific immune system challenges and support overall patient health. ## Enhancing Clinical Practice with FSM Integrating FSM into medical practice allows practitioners to offer a non-invasive and highly adaptable treatment option for a wide range of conditions.

Episode overviewJohn Martinis, Nobel laureate and former head of Google's quantum hardware effort, joins Sebastian Hassinger on The New Quantum Era to trace the arc of superconducting quantum circuits—from the first demonstrations of macroscopic quantum tunneling in the 1980s to today's push for wafer-scale, manufacturable qubit processors. The episode weaves together the physics of “synthetic atoms” built from Josephson junctions, the engineering mindset needed to turn them into reliable computers, and what it will take for fabrication to unlock true large-scale quantum systems.Guest bioJohn M. Martinis is a physicist whose experiments on superconducting circuits with John Clarke and Michel Devoret at UC Berkeley established that a macroscopic electrical circuit can exhibit quantum tunneling and discrete energy levels, work recognized by the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit.” He went on to lead the superconducting quantum computing effort at Google, where his team demonstrated large-scale, programmable transmon-based processors, and now heads Qolab (also referred to in the episode as CoLab), a startup focused on advanced fabrication and wafer-scale integration of superconducting qubits.Martinis's career sits at the intersection of precision instrumentation and systems engineering, drawing on a scientific “family tree” that runs from Cambridge through John Clarke's group at Berkeley, with strong theoretical influence from Michel Devoret and deep exposure to ion-trap work by Dave Wineland and Chris Monroe at NIST. Today his work emphasizes solving the hardest fabrication and wiring challenges—pursuing high-yield, monolithic, wafer-scale quantum processors that can ultimately host tens of thousands of reproducible qubits on a single 300 mm wafer.Key topicsMacroscopic quantum tunneling on a chip: How Clarke, Devoret, and Martinis used a current-biased Josephson junction to show that a macroscopic circuit variable obeys quantum mechanics, with microwave control revealing discrete energy levels and tunneling between states—laying the groundwork for superconducting qubits. The episode connects this early work directly to the Nobel committee's citation and to today's use of Josephson circuits as “synthetic atoms” for quantum computing.From DC devices to microwave qubits: Why early Josephson devices were treated as low-frequency, DC elements, and how failed experiments pushed Martinis and collaborators to re-engineer their setups with careful microwave filtering, impedance control, and dilution refrigerators—turning noisy circuits into clean, quantized systems suitable for qubits. This shift to microwave control and readout becomes the through-line from macroscopic tunneling experiments to modern transmon qubits and multi-qubit gates.Synthetic atoms vs natural atoms: The contrast between macroscopic “synthetic atoms” built from capacitors, inductors, and Josephson junctions and natural atomic systems used in ion-trap and neutral-atom experiments by groups such as Wineland and Monroe at NIST, where single-atom control made the quantum nature more obvious. The conversation highlights how both approaches converged on single-particle control, but with very different technological paths and community cultures.Ten-year learning curve for devices: How roughly a decade of experiments on quantum noise, energy levels, and escape rates in superconducting devices built confidence that these circuits were “clean enough” to support serious qubit experiments, just as early demonstrations such as Yasunobu Nakamura's single-Cooper-pair box showed clear two-level behavior. This foundational work set the stage for the modern era of superconducting quantum computing across academia and industry.Surface code and systems thinking: Why Martinis immersed himself in the surface code, co-authoring a widely cited tutorial-style paper “Surface codes: Towards practical large-scale quantum computation” (Austin G. Fowler, Matteo Mariantoni, John M. Martinis, Andrew N. Cleland, Phys. Rev. A 86, 032324, 2012; arXiv:1208.0928), to translate error-correction theory into something experimentalists could build. He describes this as a turning point that reframed his work at UC Santa Barbara and Google around full-system design rather than isolated device physics.Fabrication as the new frontier: Martinis argues that the physics of decent transmon-style qubits is now well understood and that the real bottleneck is industrial-grade fabrication and wiring, not inventing ever more qubit variants. His company's roadmap targets wafer-scale integration—e.g., ~100-qubit test chips scaling toward ~20,000 qubits on a 300 mm wafer—with a focus on yield, junction reproducibility, and integrated escape wiring rather than current approaches that tile many 100-qubit dies into larger systems.From lab racks of cables to true integrated circuits: The episode contrasts today's dilution-refrigerator setups—dominated by bulky wiring and discrete microwave components—with the vision of a highly integrated superconducting “IC” where most of that wiring is brought on-chip. Martinis likens the current state to pre-IC TTL logic full of hand-wired boards and sees monolithic quantum chips as the necessary analog of CMOS integration for classical computing.Venture timelines vs physics timelines: A candid discussion of the mismatch between typical three-to-five-year venture capital expectations and the multi-decade arc of foundational technologies like CMOS and, now, quantum computing. Martinis suggests that the most transformative work—such as radically improved junction fabrication—looks slow and uncompetitive in the short term but can yield step-change advantages once it matures.Physics vs systems-engineering mindsets: How Martinis's “instrumentation family tree” and exposure to both American “build first, then understand” and French “analyze first, then build” traditions shaped his approach, and how system engineering often pushes him to challenge ideas that don't scale. He frames this dual mindset as both a superpower and a source of tension when working in large organizations used to more incremental science-driven projects.Collaboration, competition, and pre-competitive science: Reflections on the early years when groups at Berkeley, Saclay, UCSB, NIST, and elsewhere shared results openly, pushing the field forward without cut-throat scooping, before activity moved into more corporate settings around 2010. Martinis emphasizes that many of the hardest scaling problems—especially in materials and fabrication—would benefit from deeper cross-organization collaboration, even as current business constraints limit what can be shared.Papers and research discussed“Energy-Level Quantization in the Zero-Voltage State of a Current-Biased Josephson Junction” – John M.

Carolyn McMakin, MA, DC - https://frequencyspecific.com     Kim Pittis, LCSP, (PHYS), MT - htpps://fsmsports365.com 00:00 Welcome to the Frequency Specific Microcurrent Podcast 00:47 Thanksgiving Episode Introduction 01:40 Non-Traditional Thanksgiving Plans 03:24 Gratitude and Small Joys 09:44 Remembering Roger and His Contributions 15:30 FSM and Patient Care Insights 27:14 Gratitude for FSM Practitioners 27:50 Case Study: Disc Herniations and Treatment 28:43 Understanding Disc and Facet Pain 33:27 SI Joint and Low Back Pain Protocols 39:52 Success Story: Treating Post-TBE Neuralgia 45:46 FSM Advanced Courses and Community 49:48 Thanksgiving Reflections and Traditions ### The Power of Gratitude in Healthcare **1. Reframing Patient Challenges:** In the fast-paced world of medicine, reorienting challenges as opportunities for learning can be transformative. Instead of viewing a patient's complex case as a setback, consider asking yourself, "What is this patient here to teach me?" This shift in mindset not only alleviates the pressure of immediate perfection but opens avenues for deeper understanding and innovative solutions. **2. Patient-Centric Goals:** Establishing treatment priorities by listening to patients can enhance outcomes. Instead of focusing solely on clinical markers, engage with patients to understand their personal goals. Asking questions like, "When this issue is resolved, what are the first two things you want to do?" grounds treatment plans in patient-centric outcomes, fostering a partnership in the healing journey. ### Integration of FSM in Practice **1. Addressing Chronic Complications:** FSM offers a nuanced approach to chronic conditions, especially where traditional methods may fall short. For conditions like frozen shoulder or mysterious disc-related issues, FSM's ability to specify frequencies can target different tissue types and pathologies, making it a versatile tool in complex scenarios. **2. Innovating with Frequency Combinations:** The integration of FSM into practice hinges on understanding the interplay of frequencies. For instance, using frequencies to address torn and broken tissues can shift treatment dynamics in chronic disc conditions. Additionally, thinking creatively—such as applying FSM for pubic synthesis or complex shoulder issues—demonstrates FSM's potential in expanding beyond conventional treatment paradigms. **3. The Importance of Treatment Context:** Recognizing when to apply FSM is critical. Positionally responsive symptoms, for example, require a discerning eye. If a patient's pain fluctuates significantly with posture, FSM can pinpoint underlying nerve or fascia issues. Understanding fascia's role, innervation, and constrictive potential is vital for effectively utilizing FSM's benefits. ### A Culture of Learning and Adaptation The landscape of medical practice is ever-evolving, necessitating continuous learning and adaptation. FSM exemplifies this spirit by encouraging practitioners to explore beyond traditional medical confines and invest in understanding the underlying causes rather than just symptoms. This mindset fosters an environment where medical professionals can not only embrace FSM methodology but also apply broader lessons of gratitude, innovation, and patient-centric care to elevate their practice. As the scope of FSM continues to grow, so does its potential to transform both patient experiences and practitioner expertise. By integrating gratitude and leveraging FSM, medical practitioners are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of modern medicine with empathy and precision.

FSM can be especially effective in treating concussive injuries and vestibular disorders that often go unnoticed. This requires practitioners to be vigilant about symptoms related to balance, cognitive function, and anxiety. Conducting a vestibular screen ensures a comprehensive diagnosis and informed treatment plan. ### Practical Applications and Case Studies Clinical applications of FSM extend beyond typical pain management. For example, spatial coordination and movement confidence can significantly impact rehabilitation outcomes. Using FSM to treat proprioceptive deficits aids in the activation and strengthening of muscles such as the serratus and latissimus dorsi to restore proper motor functions. This approach underscores the importance of treating the origin of muscular or neurological dysfunction rather than just the symptoms. ### Leveraging Case Histories in Rehabilitation Case studies offer valuable insights, underscoring the importance of integrating clinical experience with FSM protocols. Compiling detailed patient histories and clinical outcomes can guide effective case management, allowing practitioners to evolve their practices to better serve patients. For instance, addressing afflictions such as Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) or Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1) through tailored FSM protocols can yield a significant improvement in symptoms. Offering a custom care approach—like running shingles protocols for specific viruses—enhances treatment efficacy. ### Integrating Continuous Learning and Patient Engagement Encouraging active recovery and integrating FSM into patient care plans should involve continuous patient education and engagement. By explaining the treatment process and leveraging FSM technology, practitioners can foster patient buy-in and collaboration, vital components for successful health outcomes. Building a rapport and fostering a sense of safety can turn routine appointments into positive, transformative experiences for patients. ### Empowering Practitioners with FSM Tools The use of FSM goes beyond application to include training on recognizing patterns of symptoms that suggest deeper, unaddressed disorders. By learning to screen for and identify conditions like vestibular disorders, practitioners can direct patients toward appropriate resources and interventions—such as recommending 3D imaging or vestibular rehabilitation. ### Moving Forward with Confidence and Fun The journey toward excellence is rooted in a practitioner's ability to find joy and satisfaction in patient successes achieved through FSM. As practitioners explore these therapies with enthusiasm, they foster an environment of positivity that resonates with patients, enhancing experiences and encouraging recovery.

Pain shouldn't always be seen as a sign of something terrible; rather, it's an indicator of what the body needs next. A common misconception is that the healing process is linear. However, practitioners must recognize that healing can be non-linear, especially when working with conditions like connective tissue disorders. When patients experience new symptoms, it suggests that the body's compensatory mechanisms are shifting, often revealing underlying issues that need attention. When working with patients, it's essential to communicate that changes in pain are a natural part of the healing process. Medical practitioners are encouraged to adopt a mindset of curiosity over concern, using new symptoms as clues for subsequent treatment steps. Emphasizing a holistic approach, practitioners should explore all potential sources of discomfort, including postural imbalances or previous injuries, and encourage patients not to panic but rather to view these changes as part of their healing journey. Effective Treatment Protocols FSM treatments are most effective when practitioners are adaptable and ready for shifts in patient conditions. Regularly revisiting and altering treatment plans is crucial. While some patients might experience immediate relief, others could face new challenges as the body adjusts. Practitioners should prepare for these scenarios, ensuring an ongoing dialogue with patients to address arising concerns and adjust treatment protocols accordingly. For some, the path to relief involves twice-weekly sessions for several weeks to address compensations and emergent conditions. The approach should be iterative; assess, treat, and reevaluate continually as new symptoms present themselves. Handling Specific Clinical Scenarios 1. **Vestibular and Neurological Concerns**: When using protocols such as "94 and 94" frequencies, some patients may report dizziness or discomfort due to vestibular system reactions. Thus, it's vital to perform a vestibular screen before initiating treatment. If any vestibular issues are detected, utilizing calming frequencies like "40 and 44" can stabilize the patient's condition. 2. **Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders**: There is some concern about treating epileptic patients with FSM. It's important to avoid direct current paths through the brain but focus on peripheral treatments such as the concussion protocol, which can aid in managing seizure disorders. Practitioners must weigh these treatment options carefully and seek clarification where needed—especially if misinformation has been disseminated through other channels. Advancements in Sleep Management Sleep issues are widespread; hence, understanding their underlying causes is crucial. Practitioners should probe beyond superficial sleep complaints to determine whether pain, anxiety, or lifestyle factors contribute to the problem. For instance, addressing pain with specific FSM protocols can significantly enhance sleep quality. Moreover, discussing sleep hygiene with patients is essential.

It's crucial to dig deeper into emotional blockages that may hinder physical recovery. Practitioners are encouraged to consider the emotional frequencies within FSM, as these can dramatically alter the healing process. Patients often experience breakthroughs when practitioners address underlying fear, abandonment, and loneliness alongside physical symptoms. *Neurological Pathways and Safe Movement Patterns* Understanding the integration of the neurophysical endocrine system is pivotal. Initiating safe movement patterns early in treatment expedites the healing process. Safe movements coupled with emotional reassurance can lead to significant improvement. Practitioners should pay attention to the essential sequence of treatments, including using FSM to reduce fear-based responses that manifest as physical blockages. *Addressing Scar Tissue and Radiated Areas* For patients with radiation exposure or chronic scar tissue, FSM can be transformative. Treating scar tissue and areas affected by radiation requires a comprehensive approach. Practitioners are advised to consider the full impact of radiation through all tissue layers, including the dura, periosteum, and connective tissues. Clearing radiation and scar tissue effectively demands an understanding of the interconnectivity between these structures. *The Importance of Holistic Listening* Effective FSM application goes beyond hands-on therapy; it involves attentive listening to the patient's body and narrative. Practitioners are encouraged to cultivate skills that allow them to sense through touch and carefully listen to what the body communicates. This not only aids in diagnosing but accelerates the treatment process as patients feel acknowledged and safe during interventions. *Practical Considerations in Treatment Applications* Practitioners are reminded of the importance of step-by-step frameworks in applying FSM, starting with foundational emotional and physical assessments. The treatment process should be adaptive, maintaining a balance between physical maneuvers and machine settings to optimize patient outcomes. Recognizing the inherent response of tissues to FSM is key to advancing therapeutic efficacy. *Overcoming Conventional Barriers in Therapy* The FSM approach challenges traditional therapy's limitations. It asks practitioners to consider trauma memory and emotional shifts in therapy sessions actively. As the understanding of the body's electro-magnetic system grows, practitioners can harness this knowledge to create lasting improvement and comfort for patients.
