Guest guest Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Bill, I have enough " Scotch " to sympathize. I bought a six inch wide roll to make a cheap hinge repair for an old Powerbook so I had it just sitting around. It wasn't expensive as it was, as the cost of flashing and super glue for the hinge repair was under $10, and much cheaper than the nearly $150 for replacement hinges, and I didn't have to disassemble anything. http://www.photo.is/titanium.html I also made a mask with the vinyl and some velcro and cut the flashing to cover the sinus area of the nose and between the eyebrows. The first time I did it I used one piece of flashing and it broke at the bridge of the nose from being bent a lot, so I made it two pieces, each one doubled over and then connected by wire strung through the folds for a hinge. That one doesn't break as nothing is flexing. I then sewed the ersatz chamois cloth over the flashing and attached a wire to the top through two holes I punched in the top piece of flashing. I have a colar around the neck so I get current running either to the back of the neck or the front. Ruth > > Ruth, > > It looks as if you have made a great contribution with the suggestion of aluminum flashing. (How to get a little without buying a whole roll?? {Scotch ancestry!}) I will be trying it soon. Attaching the leads to the electrodes with something like nuts & bolts (tiny) would free your hands for other things. From my experience I think a meter is essential. Otherwise, no idea how much current is flowing. I occasionally start out and the current may be only .2 or .3 ma, whereas after I rewet the sponges, maybe a little bicarb, it bounces to around 1 ma. Then control is either with a potentiometer or just pressure on the sponges. What I haven't learned yet is what the optimum current should be for various setups, except I feel that it should not cause noticeable tingle and possible burns. There is so much to learn and so few people to pass on experience. My gratitude to bG! > > Bill > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Dr.Ruth, nice going! You'd think with a name like MacIntosh, they'd have some sense of proportion about the prices, no? bG > > > > Ruth, > > > > It looks as if you have made a great contribution with the suggestion of aluminum flashing.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Ruth, The use of just vinyl and chamois sounds interesting. Will have to dream up some shapes and get my wife to sew them together. You say synthetic chamois -- will have to find out what that is and where to get it. Maybe less bulky than sponges I would strongly recommend getting and adding a meter like bG shows in the illustrations, about $5 at Harbor Freight. Much easier to know where you're at. I find skin resistivity differs on different areas of the body, some spots high resistivity and low current, and some spots low resistivity with high current and possibility of irritation. Adjusting current to a desired level with a control, or even pressure, where you know where it is, is much easier. Thanks for your input.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Thanks! The only thing good I can say about Mac pricing is that they are a lot cheaper than they used to be. Having done 18 months as a network admin for a bunch of Windows machines I am not inspired to go with a cheaper option. But back to electricity - I went to Harbor Freight and couldn't find any sort of gadget for damping down the power. Any other recommendations?

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 sure radio shack, 100k linear potentiometer. about 2-3 bucks. use center post and one of the outer posts, should work great. bG > > > > > > Bill, > > > > > > I have enough " Scotch " to sympathize.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 you should solder the joints but if not, then twist tightly and use some heat shrink tube over them to hold on, but they can get loose. bG > > > > > > > > Bill, > > > > > > > > I have enough " Scotch " to sympathize.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks, will keep in mind if it develops that a current can be deflected significantly by strong electric field so it travels into the body. I doubt this can be done, but who knows. Have you any experience with silver sol? I put a lot here including a study showing profound increase in cd4, like 40% on 7 patients with HIV/confirmed western blot, using it, wondered if anyone here did any testing on it? Combined with meds that might be near a cure. bG > > > > > > > > > > > > Nodsug, > > > > > > > > > > > > Thanks for the tips, I will raid the Dollar Store next time in town.
