Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 The use of DC current from godzilla devices or any other DC current is not fully proven safe for use anywhere on the body. There are studies of iontophoresis ocular safety in which a DC current of up to 4mA was applied to the eye for 20 minutes. An exam was then given using several tests, and no damage was found. This is 10 times the current we are typically using. And we don't even need 20 minutes for the average cold. However, that was just one test after one usage. If there was damage that showed up later, it was not tested. Repeated use was not tested. The brain was tested in a study about cognitive (learning) improvement using DC current on the frontal lobes to stimulate mental activity. No adverse affects were reported, but the test was not run for a long time, so longer range effects were again not possible to judge. I am not raising an alarm here, but we have one person who used godzilla around the eyes at low current over a period of a couple of years who shows above-normal macular degeneration. We don't know if it's related or not. For now, let's not use it near the eyes if we can avoid that. In future there may be further tests done in medical community. In the meantime, unless you have some very strong reason and a lot to gain, there's no need to use it on the brain or eyes. Keep the pads low on the face, no higher than underneath the cheekbones and it should be ok on either side of the nose by itself for cold germs. We will find out more as this person discontinues the device around the eyes and uses nutritional supplements to see if the condition ceases to get worse. I will keep you informed how this goes. There are currently no symptoms, the night vision is fine, etc. bG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
