A method of treating a wide variety of heretofore considered unrelated ailments comprises delivering electricity through a circuit in the body. The circuit includes at least four nerves leading from at least two of the patient's extremities to various nerve roots adjacent the spinal column. Electrical energy from an electrical interferential therapy device is delivered though electrodes on the extremities adjacent the nerve endings until symptoms of the diagnosed ailment ameliorate. Sending impulses from the periphery to the central nervous system, appears to help the body manufacture various neuropeptides and other chemicals, which control the essential basics of the body's health and well being.
