This is the same for the medical device, Alpha-Stim. Because (or at least until recently) any results were only anecdotal, insurance companies have refused to pay for coverage. Yet, the machine works so well that a few years back (during the start of the Opioid crisis), several pharmaceutical companies tried to get the FDA to pull it. Why? Because Alpha-Stim helps to relieve symptoms relating to Insomnia, Anxiety. Depression, and Pain. All the medications in these categories being impacted by one small machine that had it start back in the VA Hospitals around the 70's.

Of course, the Pharmaceutical companies were getting worried. If Opioids were losing their footing, what other big money makers might start going down in a domino effect?

Now that studies are being done, including brain scans that show actual brain changes, Alpha-Stim can start gaining a real foothold as a complementary resource for people who need it.
