CAMS combines TENS, quartz crystal technology

TensCam is a groundbreaking medical technology that combines a TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator) unit with a transducer containing a quartz crystal to relieve pain and inflammation.

The normal frequency of the human body is 7.86 vibrations per second

TensCam technology is based on a quantum physics principle known as the Schumann Resonance Theory, which states that earth—and the average alpha brain wave in the human body—resonate at a frequency of 7.86 vibrations (or hertz) per second. This theory dates back to the 1950s.

Areas of pain and inflammation vibrate at a higher or lower rate

Inflammation—characterized by pain, swelling and redness—lies at the root of disease. At the cellular level, inflammation causes the normal electrical charge on the cell membrane to become adulterated, making it difficult for cells to maintain and defend themselves. Areas of pain and dysfunction vibrate at a higher, or lower, frequency than the normal 7.86 vibrations per second

Electrical current stimulates healing

Robert O. Becker, MD, demonstrated in the 1960s that "electrical current is the trigger that stimulates healing, growth and regeneration in all living organisms," writes Daniel L. Kirsch, PhD, in Pain Management: A Practical Guide for Clinicians (CRC Press, 2002 edition). Trauma affects the electrical potential of cells in damaged tissues, and injury repair occurs in response to signals from an electrical control system-a system that becomes less efficient as we age.

Quartz crystals have electrical properties

Quartz crystals have long been known to be strongly piezoelectric, that is, able to generate a voltage in response to applied electrical or mechanical stress. This piezoelectric property allows quartz crystals to produce a nearly constant output frequency.

TensCam works by normalizing the body’s frequency

A CAMS unit, directed at areas of pain and inflammation, is a no-touch treatment method that works by normalizing the vibrational frequency—relieving pain and inflammation almost instantly.

Each CAMS unit is attuned to the user’s bio-energy

Although the normal human energy frequency is 7.86 vibrations per second, there are certain electrical phenomena that make each person unique. These individual differences require each CAMS unit (except the Personal Tuner) to be specifically attuned to the one person who
will be using it (either for self-treatment or to treat others in a
clinical setting).

A CAMS unit is programmed by the intention of the user

The thoughts and intentions of a CAMS user direct the unit. When a person turns on a CAMS unit, he or she programs it by exhaling forcefully though the nose while visualizing the problem area of the body to be treated.

4 CAMS models are available for sale to clinicians and patients

Clinicians and patients may purchase a CAMS unit. However, patients require a doctor's prescription to buy all but one model (the Personal Tuner).

There are no reported side-effects

An estimated 4,000 CAMS treatments are performed around the world each day. There have been no reported complications. A 2002 double-blind, placebo-controlled study with 100 volunteers at the University of Central Florida also resulted in no reported complications.

There are 4 CAMS models
