WEIGHT LOSS      Another application that we think of is weight management.    Here is why.  We overeat to comfort ourselves during periods of stress, pain, or boredom.  Tasty foods release endorphins into the blood stream.  The Applicator can cause release of these same endorphins without the harmful side effects of over-eating or increased weight.      We maintain a wrong weight, because our set point for body-weight is elevated above normal.  The set point is a special arrangement in the brain (hypothalamus) nuclei, which controls our appetite.  The neurons in these centers are sensitive to many biochemical constituents, including endorphins.  The Applicator can supply additional endorphins to adjust the set point.    They always work to make the correct adjustment.  For example, clinical data show that both conditions of obesity and anorexia correspond to endorphin imbalance in the blood.  By normalizing the body's set point, the Applicator may help to avoid yo-yo weight changes, which is the usual problem after dieting.      The Applicator helps optimize health by triggering  a cascade of important regulators.  Skin stimulation causes endorphins release, and initiates secretion of many regulatory substances, such as the potent appetite suppresser (neuropeptide Cholecystokinin), and an important enhancer of metabolism thyroid stimulating hormone, to name just two.    GH is yet another secreted regulator, and its antagonist peptide Somatostatin is suppressed by the endorphins, leading to even further GH enhancement.
