00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.379
A holistic look at high frequency and hydrogen

00:00:03.379 --> 00:00:08.039
peroxide. History of high frequency. Nikola Tesla,

00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:12.419
who was an engineer and inventor, is best known

00:00:12.419 --> 00:00:16.679
for bringing alternating current, AC, electricity,

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.719
to the world. Without that, we wouldn't have

00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:22.859
the use of the many conveniences we have today.

00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:27.879
He also invented the violet ray, the high-frequency

00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:30.800
machine. In the past, the medical profession

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.960
treated infections and enhanced the healing of

00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.500
wounds with this device. Its use was called electrotherapy.

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:42.539
Manufacturers stopped producing it because making

00:00:42.539 --> 00:00:47.310
products for the war were necessary. Decades later,

00:00:47.490 --> 00:00:51.189
pharmaceutical drugs replaced their use. The Food

00:00:51.189 --> 00:00:55.210
and Drug Administration, FDA, banned it in 1950

00:00:55.210 --> 00:00:58.789
because manufacturers claimed it alleviated many

00:00:58.789 --> 00:01:02.310
health concerns and some may have misused it.

00:01:03.130 --> 00:01:06.849
The aesthetic industry has been fortunate enough

00:01:06.849 --> 00:01:10.829
to have taken advantage of the medical system's

00:01:10.829 --> 00:01:12.650
decision to avoid this technique.
