A great amount of research has been devoted to understanding the way cocaine produces its pleasurable effects, and the reasons it is so addictive. One mechanism is through its effects on structures deep in the brain. Scientists have discovered regions within the brain that, when stimulated, produce feelings of pleasure. One neural system that appears to be most affected by cocaine originates in a region, located deep within the brain, called the ventral tegmental area (VTA).

The amount of electricity produced by the Acuscope is measured in microamps (millionths of an amp), an extremely tiny amount of current in comparison to the amount of electricity flowing from a wall socket. It has been scientifically proven that this level of current produces the most beneficial effect on the body's cells.

Audio players start to generate distortion, when you have to increase the volume to max or near max just to hear them. This occurs as most audio drivers in portable players aren't properly designed to produce clean audio at high volume levels. The higher the volume level, the greater the distortion. By using the Boostaroo, you can leave the volume of your player at a lower level thereby reducing distortion and even increasing the battery life of your audio player.

The appliance produces only low pressures, usually in the range of 50 to 60 PSI. The low pressure creates a very safe, and easy to use system. Low pressures are also essential for getting the job done without making a huge mess. The work is done by the heat concentrated at the work surface. The heat dissipates quickly once the vapor expands into the atmosphere. This system is designed to be used through "surface contact" with the areas of concern.
