We are just beginning to test them (three weeks now) out for the potential of enhanced restoration and quite frankly the recovery results and the way the athletes are feeling is a bit remarkable. Anyone else have any experience utilizing this technology for recovery? From what I can gather DR Becker developed this chip with some other scientists in the energy field and Stein worked with him to put it into the watches. There is no doubt this is out there, but Becker is no fool although he is a bit controversial and they might be on to something here. The two chip watch is working better than the one chip from what we can tell thus far. (we have been doing biomeridian testing and HRV to check changes in system status and recovery) I can't wrestle them away from my athletes at this point. If this is a placebo it is a darn strong one. ...> *** My evaluation is based entirely upon the information provided on that website, as I have not had the opportunity to test those watches out. ----------------- How does the Chip work? The Teslar Chip technology works with the following components: - The electric field, generated by the battery of the watch - The magnetic field, created by the coil that makes the second hand rotate - The Teslar chip which cancels out, or collapses these two fields The collapsed fields trap the frequencies, creating a " 0 " point longitudinal wave or Scalar, also known as the " Teslar Free Standing Wave " . This longitude waveform sends a 7 to 9 hertz frequency. [Mel Siff " *** Here we go again - yet another group borrowing impressive sounding scientific jargon to impress the gullible public! What do they mean " collapses these fields " ? Are they seriously suggesting that a small vibrating watch is going to produce some sort of disruption of the space-time continuum to produce a singularity into which electric and magnetic fields magically disappear. It would help a great deal if they would cite some references to validate their impressive claims. ] When a PHILIP STEIN TESLAR watch is worn on the left wrist, the frequency goes into the triple warmer meridian of the left arm and then travels throughout the body, canceling out harmful static caused by electromagnetic fields along the way. [Mel Siff: *** Static caused by electromagnetic fields?? Since when is static electricity produced by some anonymous EM fields associated with the body? The mentioning of the triple warmer actually gives one a clue as to how this watch may produce some genuine physiological effects. A long time a go a little vibrating wrist band (as well as bracelet with a large bead) was sold to be worn in a similar region of the wrist to combat travel sickness and research indeed showed that pressure or vibration in this region helped in this regard. So, if this watch does produce some short-term effects, then it has nothing to do with collapsing EM fields, with special quantum effects or anything as abstruse as that. The watch is simply being used to stimulate some acupuncture points and I am sure that some of our list members would be able to offer more information in this regard.] This is demonstrated and proven by EAV testing and fast EEG. As Energy enters the body on the left, we suggest wearing the watch on the left hand for best results. [Mel Siff: *** Proven by whom? It would be interesting to see the research studies. " Fast EEG " ? What do they mean? This term can mean anything. Are they referring to the very rarely measured and unusual very high frequency (100kHz) brain rhythms that were reported many years ago (by Nudel in 1965) or are they simply referring to the beta waves (13-30Hz) of the aroused mental state? This appears to be yet another example to use guruesque language to impress the masses. Once again, let's see the studies. So, energy enters the body on the left? What sort of energy? This is classic Eastern mumbo-jumbo and does not concur with the findings of Dr RO Becker who studied the polarity of the DC potentials and whom the Philip Stein group quote. Haven't they read his research properly to appreciate that they are citing the work of a man whose findings contradict or disprove some of their central claims?] The PHILIP STEIN TESLAR watch is an active device, which oscillates between 7 to 9 hertz, averaging about 8 hertz. 7.83 hertz is the magnetic field the earth emits, also known as the Schumann Resonance. This is the resonance to which the human body was accustomed to before electricity. [Mel Siff: *** Really? This presumes that there was a time when there were no EM fields in the universe. If that is the case, then humans presumably must have been around before the alleged " big bang. " The similarity of the Schumann resonant frequencies to the mean alpha rhythm of adult humans (7-9Hz) has been noted for many years. Books such as Gaquelin's " Cosmic Clocks " and Hill & Playfair's " The Cycles of Heaven " (1978) discussed the possibility that the ELF (Extra Low Frequencies) noted by Schumann in 1952 in the space between the Earth's surface and the ionosphere may entrain the brain rhythms to about the same frequencies. Of course, this does not explain why these waves slow down way below 7.83Hz during sleep and speed up way beyond 7.83Hz during arousal. Nor does it explain the existence of ultrafast brain rhythms beyond 50Hz. Nor does it explain the quasi-stationary or very slow potentials which attracted much of the attention of Dr Becker. The Stein group are inferring a great deal from some very old speculations and conveniently are omitting a lot of other very important information. ] Frequent oscillation allows the signal to stay biologically interactive. This is important because some systems within the body will acclimate to stimuli that stay constant for any given period of time. ------------ Teslar Development In 1976, the highly respected physicist Dr. Beck, studied electronic equipment causing " psychoactive " effects in users. He found that extremely low frequencies were emitted from the equipment, and along with research from Dr. Becker, confirmed the harmful aspect of electromagnetic field (ELF) signals. For the next 20 years, Dr. Beck, Dr. Becker, Dr. Marino, Dr. Eldon Byrd, Dr. Puharich, Dr. Victor Adamenko, and many other scientists conducted additional research into this phenomena and confirmed its potential as a health hazard. By 1984, having recognized the endemic nature of this problem, efforts were put toward developing a unique instrument to protect an individual from harmful ELF frequencies. In late 1985, ELF International solved technical problems and developed a " shielding chip. " This chip was tested and shown to shield a human body from harmful electromagnetic fields. [Mel Siff: *** Including this information creates the impression that all of the above scientists were doing work which relates directly to the design of this watch, a technique that in persuasion is known as " appeal to authority " . All that they quote here is correct, but it does not support the claims made about the watch. If this tiny chip manages to cancel out some of the EM fields of the earth, then let's see the peer-reviewed studies. How does such a small chip manage to produce such great EM output to counteract the powerful EM fields of the earth? Why don't they mention how such a tiny battery in a wrist watch can manage to achieve this remarkable effect? The military would love to have a few larger chips fore obvious reasons. Maybe they do have, but that is hidden from us by some Official Secrets Act... right? ] ------------ Frequently Asked Questions 1. Why is the Teslar an active device? An active device produces a measurable signal which will continue to protect the body no matter how long it's worn. The Teslar is an active device, continuously producing a measurable signal while oscillating between 7 and 9 hertz. This keeps the signal active within the body's energy system. [Mel Siff: *** More word play that tells us nothing of any value. I went to the research section of their website but found nothing there but a blank page. Like that other different type of portable vibrator we discussed a few weeks ago, this site seems to have been set up in a hurry just to sell to the gullible masses, but not to offer any genuine corroborating evidence.] 2. What is a passive device? In a passive device there are no working parts and the protection signal and benefit cannot be measured. Since there are no working parts with a passive device, the body is quickly entrained. It is similar to living in a home where planes roar overhead or the earsplitting sound of a subway train rattling outside your window...you just get used to it over a short period of time. [Mel Siff: *** Nonsense. The various rhythms of the body are not entrained to any of the static or " passive " things in the environment. Many different rhythms are generated by different systems in the body and many of these, like the cardiac and brain rhythms change all the time. Moreover, static fields carry no information to stimulate entrainment, so that it is impossible for physiological processes to entrain to them.] 3. Why does the Teslar use a watch? The Teslar uses the watch mechanism because the watch has a measurable electric (battery) and magnetic field (coil with moves the sweep second hand). With the Teslar chip, the electromagnetic fields cancel each other, to create a zero point, scalar field. On this scalar field is modulated a 7 to 9 hertz signal. This important earth healing frequency is then pulsed into the body providing around the clock protective energy with the tick of every second. [Mel Siff: *** This assumes that the body has to be protected from a very specific bandwidth of frequencies, but environmental EM fields are by no means that constant. Sunspot activity alone profoundly affects our EM environment and periodically causes massive disruption of our telecommunication systems. This advertising " blurb " shows a serious lack of many scientific fundamentals.] 4. Why do you have to wear the Teslar on your left arm? The arms and legs of the body act as antenna and this is how outside frequencies enter the body. For most people, all frequencies travel into the body through the left hand and exit out the right hand. To protect the body, it is necessary to stop these fields at their entry point, the hand, not after they enter the body. Having a Teslar on the wrist is the best point to collapse this offending energy. Wearing a device around the neck attempts to collapse the energy after it has entered the body and after it has started its bad effect on our cells. By the time the unwanted extremely low frequencies of the electromagnetic field enters the center of the body it is well established in the biofield and its benefit around the neck is not effective. [Mel Siff: *** If they read some of the research which examined the effect of EM fields on the body (yes, done by some of those very scientists whose work they cited,) they will have noticed that far more profound effects can be exerted on human behaviour and health by exposing the brain and CNS to these fields, not the extremities. Let's see just one shred of scientific evidence for all of these way-out paramystical claims about how the body interacts with its EM environment. ] ------------- If this watch does indeed offer some benefits, it certainly has little or nothing to do with all of those gurusque claims about how the body is affected by its EM environment. If this website offered some more adequately referenced information and far less mumbo-jumbo, it would help a great deal. As it stands, it comes across as something that is even worse than almost anything that I have seen on any TV infomercial. Since it may well affect some acupuncture meridian, this effect may indeed stimulate a powerful placebo effect, especially since anyone who wears this watch has been told of its amazing powers. The power of suggestion such as Voodoo has been known to kill in primitive societies and psychosomatic diseases are very well authenticated, so a large effect by an impressive looking and well-described magic bracelet would not really be surprising. We shouldn't forget for one moment that the same primitive mind lurks pretty close to the surface even today in so-called " modern man. " If we are to take these watches seriously, then the company concerned needs to offer some less insulting advertising and some genuine research or clinical studies to back up their claims.
