I'll log my experiences here if that is ok. Got my device. Just learning to use it but seems fairly simple. I did 5 minutes on low around my knee and bit on stomach 36 point. Zero heating of tissue, no noticeable negative effects. Will take a walk in a few hours and see how the hills feel. I wasn't having any specific knee issues but sometimes that one can complain, so seems a reasonable test spot. Will try on the left ribs / splenic flexure area in a bit. Nice that the device has a warmup feature. Nearly silent when on low but I could hear the buzz.

This research is actually more important that I initially realized* We may be able to target abdominal regions (no more spleen location - which is difficult) if this research holds up and expands further, I don't see why it wouldn't scale up, this could be massive for US-1000 and US-2000 Pro owners, you guys are so darn lucky ! Recent research confirms that transcutaneous focused ultrasound applied to the epigastrium suppresses systemic inflammation by modulating subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve fibers. This non-invasive approach utilizes acoustic pressure to stimulate mechanosensitive vagal afferents. In controlled rodent models, a 10-minute application at 1 MHz resulted in a 180% increase in vagal firing. The physiological result is a significant downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Data shows a 48% reduction in TNF-α and a 42% drop in IL-1β within two hours of stimulation. The mechanism targets the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. By increasing efferent tone, ultrasound signals the spleen to inhibit cytokine release via α7nAChR receptors on macrophages. Human feasibility trials demonstrate a 30% cytokine reduction. This bioelectronic intervention offers a precise, drug-free alternative for managing rheumatoid arthritis, IBD, and sepsis. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41671184

YAY ! So, I hope this can become a great community page, it's very open, and you have access to SO MUCH good information, actionable information, on the Vagus Nerve, and all the ways you can make it happy and healthy ! So from the Vagus Skool to you and yours... WELCOME !

Welcome to the group! I know the first few modules are in the Classroom: Skool.com/vagus/classroom available to read right now - but I always see the same question pop up immediately: "What device should I buy?" Instead of *I guess* hoping you will make use of the Classroom which already has the answer, or hoping you would use the Search feature at the top of the site, I wanted to put the answer front and center. This post will be pinned at the top, so you can reference it anytime. The goal is to get you started with the right tool for your region. Let's break it down: USA: If you are in the USA: The US-1000 is your go-to. It’s affordable, incredibly effective, and the perfect entry point for Vagus Nerve Stimulation. For around $54 USD, it’s one of the most accessible biohacks you can invest in. The benefits—from reduced inflammation and deeper sleep to a calmer nervous system—are tremendous for the price. - 👉 Click for Module 2: How to Buy an Ultrasound - 👉 Click for Module 3: How to Use & Place Ultrasound 🌍 If you are in Canada: Great news, the US-1000 is also easily available. - Canada Supplier: Link EU: If you are in the EU or UK: The Rules are a Little Different Due to regulations and availability, the US-1000 isn't sold here. You’ll be looking at the US-2000 Pro class of device. Don't let the "Pro" name intimidate you! It simply means these units produce a higher power output and offer more focused stimulation. You don't really have a choice in the matter, but honestly, you're getting a slightly more powerful unit out of the gate.

Hey Vagus Skoolers ! I have exciting news! Go to vagusskool.com/anatomy And you will now be able to see a medically relevant shot of where the Vagus Nerve is in your Neck - in 3D ! Best to view it on a Desktop or Laptop computer - might not work great on your phone FYI. As months go, I am going to *try* to add more 3d Anatomy locations - but for now, enjoy this one, which is arguably - the one most of you should be doing anyways. Also, to answer the obvious question, I know at least one of you will be asking "That's the left side, but is it in a different location on the right side of the neck ?" No, it's not different on the right side. In fact, it would be in the identical, almost mirror image reflection also on the right side of your neck. Go visit it, see if it loads on your computer, let me know what you think, and what other anatomical things you would like to see next ! Sincerely, -Sterling
