Guest guest Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 bG, The start of my saga with what I called a "backdoor cold" is filed under "Bill's cold". At this point three weeks later I am fighting what I think is a lung infection. I am using godzilla to fight it, and also CS in a nebulizer. I place the sponges a little below the armpits hoping to cover both lungs. Then for coughing, one in front of my rib cage over the tickle that causes the cough, the other opposite behind my back against a leather chair. I have found that using one or the other approach about three times a day for about 45 minutes each reduces the coughing and congestion. Had to take today off to do errands and got worse, so apparently it does work. Some comments. I am using #18 lamp cord and think it is too small for inside the sponge. Will change to no. 16 lamp cord when I can. When starting, current is about.6 ma, very slowly rising as time goes by. Finally I get current of about 1.3 ma max when changing polarity, settling down to about .9 ma. The bare # 16 wire corrodes rapidly also, I suspect that reduces the current. What current does everyone's experience say is optimum for best results for my type of problem? Is current level critical? I feel a slight tingle when current is at 1.3 ma so expect that is a maximum.I am using a back supporter belt to hold the sponges to my sides, thus freeing my hands. With my present setup, current runs about .8 to .9 ma and pressing my hands on the sponges will increase the current to 1.1 to 1.2 ma. I feel I have a lot to learn and I think this method has lots of promise. And, we may need it later if hinted changes happen. Thank you for informing us about microelectricity.
