Re: Godzilla for lung infection

If I use it for a half hour or so I get an itchy rash that takes a couple days

to go away.

If I get ambitious and want a challenge I may try to the resistor/meter

addition. Do you have recommendations and where to buy?

Maybe zapping while going through an MRI machine would do the trick for getting

current to the inside of the body. ; )

Total current is not the problem, it's how much in how big an area. So all of

this is possible.

HIV patients are not usually available to test this on, and they are coming real

close to a cure for hiv anyway. But having a non-specific germkiller that can

hit any germ anywhere is a distant goal of ours, it would round out the picture.

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.

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.

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!
