Electrification … A Proven Cure-All? Info about the BB

January 12, 1997Abstract/Summary
Climaxing centuries of medical research, an "accident" re–discovery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1990 resulted in a reliable, positive, reproducible and recently patented (U.S. #5,188,738) cure for "incurable" diseases including AIDS, cancer, gulf war syndrome, biological warfare plagues plus emerging viruses. Essentially it consists of passing microcurrents (50-100 microamps) through flowing blood, which is now proven to eliminate all infections and quickly restore damaged immune systems. This appears to have been suppressed because electromedicine instead of pharmaceuticals drastically limits cartel profits and re–empowers patients’ sovereignty over all diseases. Strangely, it was never again mentioned except in Science News, March 30, 1991, pg. 207. …
Hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children receiving state-of- the-art medical care die traumatically and financially stressed every year with "incurable" diseases. [The patents proving the effectiveness of blood electrification against all infectious agents require blood to be removed from the body. But this research tool provides an opportunity for mild electrification without puncturing the skin. The current reaches the blood through the skin by placing electrodes over the two arteries (not veins) on the wrist which are closer to the skin surface. Researchers are offered an opportunity to experiment in their efforts to restore health privately.] It may be vastly superior to antibiotics and other known treatments, since electrification when properly applied has no side effects …
Cancer treated by currently acceptable allopathic techniques (surgery, radiation and chemotherapy) costs an average of $375,000 but patients seldom survive five years. … An optimally functioning immune system has long been known to eliminate cancer, yet cancer is generally treated as a separate disease. [Live blood cell analysis indicates electrification may stimulate the immune system.] But you may never see electrification mentioned in a politically correct or establishment–serving media. … The author has spent several years researching all aspects of electrification and can suggest do–it– yourself apparatus and simple techniques which theoretically safely eliminate all pathogens, bacteria, virus, parasites, fungus, and germs which devastate health and are immune system destroyers. … Many previously dying patients have come forward now completely well and symptom free. Anyone can do this for himself if his unconscious death–wish agendas or disbelief in new discoveries or blind faith in the medical "priesthood" are overcome. If the user assembles his own system from scratch, everything should total about $150 minimum up to $450 maximum depending on elaborateness for this one–time investment. … If working instruments are purchased from manufacturers this cost could be more. After this one–time initial outlay, out–of–pocket operating costs (replacement batteries) will be only about [$10] per patient per complete cure or almost nothing with rechargeables. Everyone using electrification should experience dramatic health benefits immediately, even if not knowingly afflicted. Common colds can be [halted quickly].
All four synergistic and essential elements are …
1) Building or acquiring a functioning battery–powered blood electro–purifier that attaches externally to the Radial and Ulnar artery pulse points on one wrist. Improvement may be experienced within three weeks with daily electrification of two hours.
2) A very simple and inexpensive instrument for making any quantity of Ionic Silver Colloids for pennies ensuring anyone an intact secondary immune system.
3) A high–intensity MAGNETIC PULSER which destroys any residual germinating or incubating pathogens in lymph and other organs by inducing back e.m.f. in tissue consequently preventing self re– infection.
4) An OZONATOR easily made with tropical fish store components to charge drinking water with 03. Ozone comfortably detoxifies by oxidation any wastes which the body must eliminate while regaining perfect health.
PRECAUTIONS:
Do NOT use wrist–to–wrist with subjects using cardiac pacemakers. Any electrical signals may interfere with "demand" type heart pacers and cause malfunction. Single wrist/forearm locations should be acceptable.
Do NOT use on pregnant women, while driving or using hazardous machinery.
Users MUST avoid ingesting anything containing medicinal herbs, foreign or domestic, or potentially toxic medication, nicotine, alcohol, recreational drugs, laxatives, tonics, garlic, etc. and certain potentially toxic vitamins for several days before starting because blood electrification can cause electroporation which makes cell membranes pervious to small quantities of normally harmless chemicals in plasma. The effect is the same as extreme overdosing which might be lethal.
MEANS
AND METHODS FOR ELIMINATING INFECTIOUS DISEASES and CANCER ?

January 14, 1998
(The complete process is described here in detail to allow anyone to successfully achieve recoveries and insure that the currently proven methods will never again be "lost" or suppressed.)
WHAT YOU DO:
Apply salt-water moistened electrodes over Ulnar and Radial arteries on opposite insides of same wrist. A Velcro(R) and elastic strap holds electrodes in place. You must electrify blood for one to two hours every day for three weeks. This should not interfere with other activities. As your blood circulates normally, enough will be flowing along this path in forearm until most blood in your body is eventually treated by the 50 to 100 microampere current flowing internally. About 3 to 5 milliamperes is necessary at the skin to overcome resistive losses through tissue before current reaches blood.
Drink 8 to 16 OZ of 3 to 5 ppm self-made Silver Colloid daily. Costing under 1 cent per gallon, colloids are shown to easily control opportunistic infections. This gives you a second intact immune system. Colloids can be generated in the same water while ozonizing.
Apply your magnetic pulse generator for about 20 minutes daily by positioning and pulsing coil over lymph nodes and internal organs. Pulse each time it recharges at several second intervals. Pulses of high intensity time-varying magnetic flux generate a measurable back e.m.f. in adjacent tissue thus neutralizing any residual germinating and incubating pathogens. Without this step, sufferers have been known to sometimes reinfect themselves. Conventional permanent magnets positively will not work.
Drink as much ozonated water as you can comfortably ingest daily. You must generate fresh ozone yourself each time and drink immediately since ozone has a half-life of only a few minutes. All known pathogens and cancers are anaerobic. Ozone aids their elimination by oxidation and speeds your detoxification and recovery with no discomfort. Consuming ozone water flushes neutralized pathogens, wastes and toxins from your system.
THESE FOUR STEPS WORK SYNERGISTICALLY AND ALMOST MAGICALLY AND SHOULD BE USED TOGETHER. AVERAGE TIME FOR RECOVERY IS UNDER A MONTH.
If you are not technically oriented, you may skip the following.
HOW AND WHY YOU must DO THIS:
The blood electrifier and silver colloid maker are usually combined in one small plastic box, typically 3-3/4" X 2-1/4" X 1" (cigarette pack size) containing one outlet for wrist electrodes and a second outlet for colloid making. A single 9 volt transistor radio battery drives a voltage tripler, and a single-IC-chip switches the 27 volts from negative to positive 3.92 times each second. A biphasic square wave with sharp rise time output is fed to a 3.5 mm jack connecting to two 3/32" stainless steel electrodes 1" long each covered with two layers of 100% cotton flannel saturated with dilute salt water. A potentiometer allows users to adjust output until comfortable. Red and green LED's show polarity reversal (essential for safe blood electrification) and overall system functioning. A grain-of-wheat lamp indicates current flow when making ionic colloid. Precise electrode locations are determined by carefully feeling arterial pulse points on opposite insides of same wrist and positioning saturated electrodes precisely along the paths where arteries come closest to surface. Locations are critical, since objective is to supply maximal current into blood and not waste it in surrounding flesh. Typical impedance measured from electrode-to-electrode may be as low as 2000 ohms. Adjust output for strongest comfortable level. Schematics, parts lists and detailed instructions appear in [elsewhere in these lecture notes]. Anyone can build his own system: you need buy nothing except replacement batteries. However commercially available systems are inexpensive, reliable, and are usable immediately.
Ionic Silver Colloids of excellent quality and freshness are easily user-made as follows - Pure silver (99.9%) 14 gauge electrodes, providing anode and cathode about 6" long, are immersed in an 8 OZ glass of room-temperature water (tap or distilled) and the 27 volt DC output is applied for about 3 minutes in tap water and 20 minutes in distilled water or until water appears milky. Stir and drink immediately two or three times daily. I ozonate the water while making colloid and drink the combination immediately. Some prefer "golden" colloids, easily made by using only heated (150 degrees F) distilled water in Pyrex containers with electrodes activated for ~20 minutes. Store silver colloid in dark brown bottles. Keep out of light and do not refrigerate.
MAGNETIC PULSER: This extremely useful tool neutralizes active, hibernating or incubating pathogens being normally processed in lymph, spleen, liver, skin, kidney, stomach muscles and other tissue. It is easily made by purchasing or winding a ~2.5 millihenry coil and driving it with a 35 to 70 Watt-Second (Joules) electronic flash or "strobe". (A Joule is (1/2 CV^2) where C is in microfarads and V is in Kilovolts.) A self-wound inductance coil of ~130 turns of 14 or 16 gauge, plain enameled magnet wire works well. A 2.5 mH audio speaker cross-over coil is prettier. The coil is simply wired between one electrode of the strobe flash lamp and its capacitor. The device, if self-made, costs about $27 and is vasty more powerful than $5000 to $7O00 commercial devices of far less measurable power. The coil kicks a steel washer several feet into the air when pulsed thus showing the "occult" (invisible) energy going into your body during use. A typical finished device (Future Tech Today, USA 1-(866)-747-7447) tests 600 mfd, 330-350V, 36 WS, 21,429 Gauss, 105 Amperes peak, 17,850 Ampere Turns pulse rise time ~1.8 microseconds, pulse duration ~2.6 milliseconds, penetration ~8" in tissue. It and its AC power supply fit in a box 1-1/2" X 2-5/8" X 4-1/2" with an external applicator coil 2-3/4" diameter X 1-3/8" thick on a 4' cord. (These details are offered for professionals only.)
OZONIZED DRINKING WATER: Before adding this final step to the "magic four", we had some very uncomfortable full-blown AIDS patients while they were detoxifying. All are now completely well and symptom free. By simply drinking ozone-charged water, most of the benefits of ozone use such as insufflation (ozone enemas), autohemotherapy, ozone injections and blood bubbling, Oxygen Bars and Hyperbaric Oxygen chambers were easily surpassed and made simple and inexpensive. Tanks of "medical oxygen" (identical to welding oxygen) require medical prescriptions. Ozonized water is made from oxygen in ambient air and costs nothing. MAKING YOUR OWN: You can purchase ozone generators legally in tropical fish (aquarium) stores. Preferred is the 200 ML Sander (brand) ozonizer used with an aquarium aerator pump. Air pumped through a bubble-making "stone" is passed through chilled water. Depending on the strength ozone maker you buy, water becomes "saturated" in a few minutes and must be drunk immediately. You can see an increase in % blood oxygen saturation which often reaches 100% within minutes. Do NOT use ultra-violet (cheapest but almost useless) generators. Use ONLY cold-corona high voltage ozonizers.

"...The Zapper is a small electronic device developed by Dr. Hulda Clark and her son, Geoff Clark, that delivers an electrical current to the body of approximately 7 to 8 volts, with some units going as high as 15 volts. The distinguishing feature of a zapper is that it is designed to produce a square wave with a frequency of about 30KHz (Kilohertz) to 32KHz. There are some units that have frequencies much lower, as low as 15Hz, and some that even have variable frequencies. The lower frequencies are supposed to make it easier for the current to penetrate into the body and be more effective. Regardless of the frequency used, all Clark Zappers work on the same principle of a DC current with a square wave applied to the body through the use of wrist straps, handholds, conductive bands, pads, etc. Virtually all zappers use wrist straps or handholds. Whatever method is used to make contact, it is recommended that you routinely switch positions to different parts of the body to promote penetration of the current to all areas and extremities.
Most Zappers use conductive wrist straps, mainly for the convenience of keeping your hands free to do other things while zapping. The wrist straps are very convenient to use, but are limited to use on each wrist, so you can't "target" specific areas with them. There are also varying opinions on whether wrist straps provide the proper amount of current required to do an effective job. So far, I've not seen anything that makes a definitive case one way or another, so I own and use both types. There are also a number of other types of conductive bands, gel pads, slippers, plates, etc.
A typical session with a Zapper lasts one hour, consisting of 7 minutes of use followed by a 20 minute rest period, then another 7 minutes of use, 20 minutes of rest, and a final 7 minutes of use. Many people are now recommending and doing continuous zapping for a minimum of 1 hour or more at a time. You don't want to use a Zapper for only a few minutes and then quit. When you stir things up you need to do the minimum session of 1 hour to prevent problems. Longer sessions of zapping, including up to 24 hours per day, are possible and many people routinely zap hours every day for weeks at a time.
The Bob Beck Blood Purifier is also an electronic device that uses two small electrodes that are placed over major blood arteries (not veins) on the wrists or ankles, and held in place with a strap. Both electrodes are placed on the same wrist or ankle about an inch apart. The unit uses a higher voltage than the Zapper, about 27-32 volts compared to only 7 or 8 volts for the Zapper, but with a much lower frequency, typically 4Hz. Some units use a 100Hz frequency that is believed to reduce or eliminate problems with electroporation. The amount of current entering the bloodstream from the electrodes is very small, only in the micro-current range.
As the blood circulates past the electrodes all the "critters" in it are given a jolt. On average it only takes 8 1/2 to 9 minutes for a person's blood to circulate through the entire body and pass by the electrodes on the wrist. Worst case scenario is about 10 minutes, so in two hours you get a minimum of 12 total blood volume circulations. A normal session is 2 or more hours of continuous use per day for 4 to 6 weeks. It takes a commitment, but the results are worth it for many people.
The Magnetic Pulse Generator does not use electrical currents, but instead uses a high intensity, short duration magnetic pulse of approximately 43,000 Gauss as its means of killing or immobilizing parasites. The unit consists of a small box which holds the electronics and a round coil attached by a cord. It is the coil which produces the pulse every 5-8 seconds. The coil can be placed anywhere on the body, including the head and face. The ability to place the coil anywhere means that areas not covered by the Zapper or the Beck Blood Purifier are easily treated, including the Lymph system, stomach, head, and intestines.
All three devices are attempting to do the same thing, i.e. to use either small electrical currents or high intensity magnetic pulses to kill living organisms that are in your body that shouldn't be there. This includes organisms such as viruses, bacteria, mold, fungi, and the larger parasites such as tapeworms, ringworms, roundworms, flukes, etc. I'll be using the term parasite from here on to mean any and all of the previously mentioned organisms. So please keep that in mind while reading the remaining text..."

Analysis
of BioElectric's "Microbe Electrifier"
Michael Forrest's BioElectric "Microbe Electrifier" is the only one that also allows you to use frequencies higher than Beck's 4 hertz in order to avoid the transfection/electroporation effect. He relies on a graph of frequency verses transfection in the Biophysical Journal, volume 58, 1990 as his proof that 10 hertz and above cause no transfection.
He says that although Beck settled on 3.9 hertz, he had admitted that the deactivation of microbes was not dependant on a specific frequency. The tests by Lyman and Kaali were actually with zero frequency- direct current! But DC causes blood cell clumping as well as transfection. Use of 10 or 40 hertz can be important for cancer patients if they want to continue to use strong herbs or other strong supplements.
BioElectric also recommends placing the electrodes wrist-to-wrist or ankle-to-ankle in order to be able to use comfortable levels of electrical current because most of the current will concentrate itself in the arteries between the shoulders and in the groin area.
Other companies, such as Sota Instruments, recommend placing electrodes on one wrist because that is the last recommendation Beck gave. But BioElectric says Beck did that only for convenience sake and that Beck's own research proved that 97% of the current was lost by it crossing the wrist instead of going into the arteries!!
Beck admitted that the extreme amount of 3mA (3 milliamps) had to be applied wrist to wrist in order for the correct amount of current to be measurable in the forearm artery. BioElectric says that very few people can tolerate that amount of electricity.
Comments About What Can Be Taken With the Protocol
All following comments about restrictions in regard to use of the Blood Electrifier in the Beck Protocol apply only to using 4 hertz as the blood electrification frequency. That is because very low frequencies cause the blood cells to easily absorb strong chemicals (synthetic drugs or strong natural medicines) and become toxic. This results in feeling very sickly with a killer headache and can even cause death in extreme cases.
Traditional Beck blood electrifiers allow only 4 hertz as the frequency. Newer versions allow higher frequencies for reducing and/or eliminating the high-absorption effect. Beck called the effect "electroporation" but really that is a word that is used by scientists to describe an extreme cellular poration acheived by application of near 1000 volts to a test tube containing a cell culture so that they will quickly absorb whatever the scientists have mixed in with the culture.
A better term is "transfection" which is what happens at much lower potencies of applied alternating current such as blood electrification.
The Biophysics Journal, vol 58, reported that close to 1 hertz caused the greatest amount of transfection, 4 hertz caused 11% as much, and 10 hertz and above caused none. The graph can be seen at:
www.dragonfly75.com/eng/transfection.html
So herbs, vitamins and drugs pose no threat when doing 10 hertz blood electrification, although with strong drugs it is best to use 40 hertz and do the electrotherapy each day before taking any drugs. See the links at the bottom of the page for a supplier of a 4/10/40 hertz Blood Electrifier.
In a moment there will be a long list of foods and other things that cannot be used with the 4 Hz Bob Beck Protocol. Many supplements and herbs, and even some mild drugs, can be taken with the Bob Beck Protocol as long as they are taken soon after the electromedicine treatments are finished for the day.
In other words, by taking them after the electromedicine treatment is finished for the day, there are many hours for the body to use them before the next electromedicine treatment begins, which will be on the next day.
In other words, transfection (ie; an electrically induced increase of cellular permeability which allows many substances to be absorbed by healthy cells) dies down very quickly after the treatment is over, allowing a patient to take herbs or some mild drugs soon after the electromedicine treatment is finished for the day (e.g. 15 minutes after). Because it will be at least 20 hours before the next electromedicine treatment begins (and transfection begins), the herbs and mild drugs should have left the bloodstream. The rule of thumb is that at least 95% of the items should be out of the blood stream before the next days electromedicine treatment begins.
Time-released drugs, of course, should be considered independently.
If you feel there are things you must take during the Bob Beck Protocol, you can experiment to see if they will conflict with the Bob Beck Protocol. For example, 15 minutes after the end of the Bob Beck Protocol for the day, take a small dose (i.e. 1/10th of a normal dose) of the substance you need to take. If you do not feel ill on the next day during the Bob Beck Protocol, you can increase the dose slightly (by another tenth).
This constitutes a buildup to see what dose you can tolerate during the Bob Beck Protocol. A gradual buildup will provide a safe early warning system that this substance should not be taken with the Bob Beck Protocol.
Highly potent drugs, such as chemotherapy, absolutely should NOT be experimented with. They simply should not be taken during the Bob Beck Protocol. Only fairly mild drugs, supplements and herbs should be experimented with.
Those who have been on the Budwig Diet (i.e. cottage cheese and flaxseed oil) should continue the Budwig Diet during the Bob Beck Protocol. It is considered food, so it doesn't matter when you take it.
Because the Bob Beck Protocol does not rebuild the cell walls of a cancer patient, cancer patients who go into remission should go on a one-year "Remission" treatment after the Bob Beck Protocol. See:
Remission Article
Why Some Patients Cannot Use This Treatment
Unfortunately, not every cancer patient can use the Bob Beck Protocol. There are many restrictions to using the Bob Beck Protocol, but the main restriction, in almost all cases, that cannot easily be overcome, is that no one using any type of strong prescription drug can go on the 4 hertz Bob Beck Protocol until they are able to safely get off of their strong prescription drugs before they start their treatment.
Virtually everyone who has been under the "care" of orthodox medicine is on many prescription drugs, most of which are to treat the symptoms of the main prescription drug. This is by definition, because that is what medical doctors are taught to do - sell things for the pharmaceutical industry.
In most cases, by doing your homework, within a few days or few weeks, it is possible to get off of your strong prescription drugs. However, there are some cases where this is virtually impossible to do. If you cannot figure out a way to get off of your strong prescription drugs, with your doctor's permission, then you will not be able to go on the 4 hertz Bob Beck Protocol. It is that simple.
As mentioned above, only mild prescription drugs can be experimented with. If during the experimentation you have a dangerous or very painful reaction, you must stop the Bob Beck Protocol immediately. Do not resume the Bob Beck Protocol unless you have waited at least 48 hours after getting completely off the drugs.
There is a fine line between which drugs are totally forbidden and which ones can be experimented with. This is up to the patient, family and their doctor. More will be said about this issue later.
The Rules For Using the Bob Beck Protocol
Generally speaking: NO OTHER alternative cancer treatment or orthodox cancer treatment that produces strong side effects can be used with the Bob Beck Protocol. They must be STOPPED or reduced at least 2 days prior to starting the Bob Beck protocol. The cesium chloride protocol should be stopped at least 2 weeks before starting the Bob Beck Protocol.
The reason for this rule is detoxification. The Bob Beck Protocol by itself will create a great deal of detox symptoms. To add more debris from another cancer treatment may create far more detox than the liver and other organs of the body can handle.
However, because the Bob Beck equipment may not all arrive at the same time, you should wait until all of the equipment arrives before stopping your current cancer treatment(s). Then wait at least 2 whole days before starting the Bob Beck Protocol.
The Bob Beck Protocol generally has been used by itself because it can create a significant amount of detox symptoms. (But that can be limited by limiting the treatment times to just enough to create a limited amount of detox that you can handle without getting sickly.)
The Bob Beck Protocol creates a lot of debris (regardless of hertz), but it does not cure cancer quickly because it does not kill cancer cells directly. By allowing the body to rid itself of microbes, the immune system will be able to supercharge itself. But this takes time, and many cancer patients don't have much time to live, thus they have no choice except to take some risks.
Thus, for a cancer patient who has months to live without any treatment, they should not take any risks and they should not take any other supplements, prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, other alternative cancer treatments, etc. with the 4 hertz Bob Beck Protocol. The exception is the Budwig Diet and other food-based treatments.
The more advanced a cancer patient is, the more important time becomes, and the more risks should be taken. But the risks should not be done blindly. The concepts in this article should be followed.
Standard List of Things Forbidden with 4 hertz Beck blood purifiers:
1) NO orthodox cancer treatments - NONE,
2) NO other alternative cancer treatments (see above),
3) NO prescription drugs (see above),
4) NO pain killers,
5) NO blood thinners (e.g. Coumadin),
6) NO herbs (including NO seasonings),
7) NO garlic or anything closely related to garlic!! (especially no garlic)
8) NO strong over-the-counter medications (e.g. no aspirin, no Tylenol),
9) NO vitamins (especially no vitamin A),
10) NO supplements, including NO enzymes,
11) NO alcohol, "recreational" drugs, coffee, tea, etc.,
12) NO smoking,
13) NOT for pregnant women,
14) NOT for those with pacemakers,
15) etc. etc.
Only healthy foods can be used with this treatment (but no garlic, no onions, no spices with 4 Hz treatment). You should drink a lot of water (this includes the ozonated water) to help rid the body of deactivated microbes. It is not advised to drink soda pop. Soda pop dehydrates the body and taking it would require that you drink more water (obviously, do not drink anything with aspartame - e.g. NutraSweet, Equal, etc.). Soda pop is also very acidic.
To make sure you understand this: This treatment CANNOT be used with chemotherapy or radiation!!
Here is a quote from Bob Beck on this issue of 4 hertz treatment:
"First, for several days prior to starting this program, you must avoid ingesting anything containing medicinal herbs, foreign or domestic, or potentially toxic medication, nicotine, alcohol, recreational drugs, laxatives, tonics, garlic and certain potentially toxic vitamins, because blood electrification will cause electroporation, ..., which is lethal. You can read "Electroporation, A General Phenomenon for Manipulating Cells and Tissues," by J.C. Weaver, Journal of Cellular Biology, Book 51, page 426 (1993), Harvard/MIT. " [Interview with Dr. Beck, 1997]
Transfection will allow substances to enter cells at a rate 20 to 30 times HIGHER than they normally do. This is why so many things are absolutely forbidden. For example, taking 2 aspirin during the 4 Hz treatment is really the equivalent of taking 40 to 60 aspirin, as just one example!!!
These severe restrictions have no room for error because of 4 hertz transfection. These rules should be enforced for at least two days prior to starting the Bob Beck Protocol.
The rules do not apply to the colloidal silver or ozonated water. However, the colloidal silver should be taken after the two electromedicine treatments are finished for the day.
If you skip a day (using the electromedicine equipment) in the middle of your treatment, you still need to follow the strict rules.
If you have a health problem, such as a brain seizure, and have to take medication, then you need to immediately stop all use of the Blood Electrifier and Magnetic Pulse Generator until you can go two days without any medications and begin the treatment again.
The Bob Beck Protocol
The Bob Beck Protocol includes four independent treatments, all of which are designed to do one thing - disable microbes in the body (i.e. stop their ability to reproduce) or kill them (in the case of colloidal silver and to a lesser degree ozonated water)... here is an overview of the treatment:
Blood Electrification
This treatment disables microbes as they float through the bloodstream. This is an important part of the protocol, even though most cancer cells, which contain many of the microbes that need to be disabled, do not float around in the blood.
Once the microbes are disabled, they are harmless and the body will eventually excrete them.
Pulsed Magnetic Fields (i.e. Magnetic Pulser)
The purpose of this treatment is to dislodge microbes that are not floating around in the bloodstream, but are "hiding" in root canals, the lymph system, the stomach area, etc so that they enter the bloodstream and are deactivated by blood electrification. This is a very important part of the protocol for cancer patients, because to supercharge the immune system all of the microbes outside of the cancer cells need to be attenuated!!
Colloidal Silver
Colloidal silver is an antimicrobial nutrient and is perfectly safe for humans, pets and plants. If the colloidal silver is absorbed by a cancer cell, it will probably kill the microbe inside the cell, thus allowing the cell to revert back into a normal cell. However, its main purpose is to kill the microbes in the blood and most of those in hiding.
Drinking Ozonated Water or Ozonated Water
Ozone is well-known for killing microbes and killing cancer cells. The only thing that is not known is whether there is enough ozone in the water to kill the cancer cells or the microbes inside the cancer cells. However, like the colloidal silver, it is designed to kill the microbes in the blood and those in hiding.
If you have root canals, it is important to let some of the ozonated water sit inside the mouth. In other words, fill the mouth with ozonated water two or three times per treatment, then let it sit in the mouth covering your root canal teeth (for a couple of minutes each time). In this way some of the ozonated water will get inside the root canal teeth and kill some microbes inside the root canal teeth and be a catalyst for the Magnetic Pulser inside the teeth.
Since killing cancer cells can create inflammation, swelling and congestion, if you start to get inflammation, swelling or congestion during this treatment (which becomes dangerous), stop using the ozonated water and continue with the other items which cannot kill cancer cells.
The official main purpose of the ozonated water is to detoxify the body.
The Order of Taking These Things
It is important NOT to use the Magnetic Pulser at the same time as the Blood Electrification equipment. The Magnetic Pulser, if accidentally allowed to magnetically pulse the blood electrifier, could damage it.
It would be best to use the Magnetic Pulser before using the Blood Electrification equipment. The reason is that the Magnetic Pulser may break apart colonies of microbes and release them into the bloodstream where the Blood Electrification equipment can disable them.
The Blood Electrification treatment should be started about 15 to 30 minutes after the end of the Magnetic Pulser. Again, they should NOT be used at the same time.
When to take the ozonated water is discussed later in this article.
It would be wise to take the colloidal silver about 15 minutes after finishing the two electromedicine treatments. The reason is that the electromedicine items will "open up" the cells and any colloidal silver in the bloodstream may go inside of non-cancerous cells. This will not create any kind of danger, but it is best to maximize the amount of colloidal silver available to go inside of cancer cells.
In the links at the bottom of this web page, there is a link to a VHS tape called: "Beck Video Part 2 - VHS." It is critical you buy and watch this video because the lecture will include a demonstration on how to use the equipment and will discuss many of the safety issues. See the links below.
The Side-Effects
If you follow all of the safety precautions, the only side-effects you will have will be related to the detoxification. The "build-up" is designed specifically to minimize the detoxification side-effects. The descriptions below include a "build-up" for all four of the treatments.
There may be a lot of toxins in your body that need to get out of your body, and no matter what you do they will need to find a way to get out.
Perhaps the most distressful symptom is when a puss oozes out of your body. It can ooze out of your body anywhere. It can happen on the top of the head or the face, or anywhere else. THIS IS A GOOD SIGN!! It is a sign the treatment is working!! These toxins and disabled microbes have to get out of your body, and it is a good thing when they do get out of your body. Let them come out, don't try to stop them from leaving your body, they need to leave the body!! It is better that the disabled microbes exit your body through your skin than pass through your liver.
There might even be some swelling caused by puss which has not yet found a way out of the body. In most cases, this too is a good sign. However, if it is swelling caused by your diet killing cancer cells (and the immune system attacking the dying cancer cells), then it may not be a good sign.
However, when any serious side-effects are noticed, the treatment should be stopped immediately and started over again from the beginning, using a "smaller and slower buildup" (i.e. the build-up doses should be smaller and the build-up times should be longer). The reason for stopping the treatment and starting over has to do with your key organs, especially your liver and kidney.
Another important issue is the "friendly" bacteria in the digestive tract. These are important for food digestion. It is quite possible the colloidal silver and ozonated water will kill them. Be prepared to add some probiotics, or other digestion products, to your diet to replenish the "friendly" bacteria. ...

Transfection
Transfection is a term that denotes the trans-membrane "infection" of a cell by some outside-the-cell substance as a result of increased cell permeability. "Electroporation" denotes an abnormal temporary porous state of the cell wall due to thousands of volts applied for a fraction of a second across the cell culture. Bob Beck incorrectly utilized this term to describe how blood electrification causes increased permeability but he was wrong. Transfection happens at 4 hertz frequency with low power but not because of electroporation.
You can say you are experiencing transfection when you feel "toxic" from doing 4 Hz blood electrification after ingesting medicine, or smoking, or drinking regular coffee, or drinking an alcoholic drink, or smoking a joint. Actually sometimes you will just feel an amplified effect from the stuff you took, and not really toxic. Either way it is probably hard on your blood cells and so if you use the 4 Hz setting then it should only be used if you haven't ingested any harsh substance for half a day previous.
The useful graph below shows that transfection from high voltage (200v/cm) electroporation is frequency dependant, and that the most affecting frequency is 1 hertz (1 cycle per second). I added the notes on this graph to clarify the frequencies and transfection amounts since the graph is logarithmic. How you translate that is the log number is the number of decimal places you add to 1. Log 0 is 1. Log 1 is 10. Log 2 is 100. Log 3 is 1000. Log -1 is .1. I point out the actual amounts of transfection at the frequencies of 4, 10, and 40 hertz.
It has been pointed out that this graph only shows the transfection with an applied 200 volts per centimeter and that blood electrifiers apply only a small fraction of that. True, but the same research paper said "...electric fields that generate transmembrane potential in the range of millivolts are capable of activating membrane transport systems." The Microbe Electrifier creates a potential across the blood cell membranes of millivolts. Going thru the same paper I also found the following graph that shows that as the voltage is decreased the amount of transfection decreases. Also the frequency that causes the most transfection becomes lower. At 50v/cm (lowest curve) the peak transfection frequency is .1 Hz. And at 10 Hz there is no transfection (if you extend the graph as I did with the dotted line). Even though blood electrifiers deliver much less than 50v/cm I suspect that the transfection graph for a Blood Electrifier is similar although the transfection amounts are less. The fact that blood electrification is done for 1-2 hours daily probably has an effect that makes up for its weakened transfection. This graph shows the transfection produced after only 30 seconds of exposure to electricity.

Abstract -- A body part of an animal afflicted with malignant cells is disposed within a magnetic coil and subjected to a plurality of magnetic field pulses, the pulses having intensities of between about 1 and about 100 Tesla and characteristic frequencies of between about 5 and about 1000 kHz. The pulsed magnetic field selectively inactivates and/or destroys malignant cells with relatively little damage to normal tissue as compared to conventional radiation therapy procedures.
Description
The present invention relates to a method or treating cancer and more particularly to destroying malignant cells with a pulsed magnetic field.
The terms "malignancy" and "cancer" generally refer to an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. To successfully treat cancer, the abnormal cells must be eliminated or their growth must be arrested or significantly retarded. In some cases, particularly where the malignancy is localized and accessible, the cancer is successfully treated by surgical removal of the cancerous tumor. In other cases, particularly where the tumor is inaccessible or where the malignancy has metastasized, e.g., systemically, treatment often involves procedures, such as chemotherapy or ionizing radiation therapy, which kill malignant cells and/or retard their growth. Invariably, substantial damage to normal tissues is attendant on such methods, and a critical factor in all applications of such methods is the relative kill ratio of the clonogenic malignant cells to normal cells.
X-ray radiation is one of many procedures used in the therapeutic treatment of cancers. In general, the applied radiation is sufficient to destroy the reproductive integrity of a tumor cell. In such a procedure, it is necessary to kill every clonogenic malignant cell or the cancer will regrow. In general, not all cells in a malignancy are clonogenic, and a residual population fraction of 10@-2 to 10@-3 may be small enough for the malignancy not to recur. The application of ionizing radiation has certain contraindictions, such as the destruction of normal cells and in some cases the suppression of the immune system.
The kill mechanisms for exposure to ionizing radiation follow a hierarchial pattern. At very high doses in the range of 10,000 rad, the cells are killed through the deactivation of enzymes. In the range of 1,000 rad, cells may be killed through the rupture of their outer membranes. In the lower dose range of about 100 rad, the cells continue to function but suffer damage to chromosomes or other reproductive components and do not continue to subdivide and reproduce normally. At very low doses in the range of 10 rad, ionizing radiation may delay cell division but will not destroy the population. One of the critical areas which must be evaluated relates to the effect of a procedure intended to selectively kill malignant cells on hematopoietic, gastro-intestinal and central nervous system functions. In the case of ionizing radiation, limitations associated with continued function of the bone marrow, small intestine, and brain, at threshold levels above 100, 500, and 2,000 rad respectively, limit the duration and intensity of ionizing radiation therapy.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Herein, it is discovered that high intensity magnetic fields, applied in short pulses with moderate frequencies, can be used to selectively destroy or otherwise inactivate malignant cells within tissue of a living animal. Selective inactivation of malignant cells within animal tissue subjected to a pulsed magnetic field is accomplished without noticeable deterioriation of gross characteristics of normal tissue. Substantially no heat is generated in the tissues, even in tissue which is sequentially subjected to a high number of pulses.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The FIGURE is a diagrammatic illustration of a rat being treated within an electromagnetic coil and a simplified circuit associated with the coil for generating a pulsed magnetic field within the coil.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
In accordance with the present invention, animals or animal body parts are subjected to high intensity, moderate frequency magnetic field pulses to selectively kill or inactivate malignant cells within the tissues. The whole or portions of an animal body (the term "animal" is used herein to include humans, although initial experiments have been carried out on lower animals) can be subjected to the pulsed magnetic field. This process is carried out wlth a minimum effect on normal cells and without altering the gross characteristics of the subjected normal tissues.
It is found that subjecting body parts containing cancerous tissue to a plurality of magnetic field pulses, with characteristic frequencies above about 5 kHz and intensities above about 1 Tesla, will either arrest the growth of tumors or progressively reduce the number of cancerous cells, resulting in remission of tumors. Tissue treated with pulsed magnetic fields according to the present invention are not significantly heated, and thus there is no thermal discomfort to the subject and no burning of tissue whatsoever. Unlike X-ray or other ionizing radiation techniques, inactivation of cells is not achieved by an ionization mechanism, and there is no apparent alteration of the gross and functional characteristics of normal tissue.
Illustrated diagrammatically in the FIGURE is an electromagnetic coil 10 and associated circuitry which produce magnetic pulses of moderate frequency and high intensity. Apparatus of the general type illustrated is currently used for metal forming. An example of suitable apparatus is that sold urder the trademark Magneform by Maxwell Laboratories, Inc. A cylindrical metallic object placed within the coil and exposed to intense magnetic pulses, represented by flux lines 12, is subjected to strong radial stresses which radially deform the object. The surprising discovery was made that by placing rats 13, which are inflicted with induced cancer tumors, within the magnetic coil and subjecting the rats to high intensity pulsed fields at moderate frequencies, arrest of tumor growth and/or pronounced remission of the tumors resulted.
The magnetic field in the coil is produced upon discharge of a bank of capacitors 14. The capacitor bank is charged from a source 16, and when a switch 18 is closed, completing the circuit that includes the capacitor bank and the coil, an oscillating or unipolar current can be generated between the plates of the capacitors. The oscillating current, in turn, generates a pulsed magnetic field which is concentrated within the region 20 bounded by the coil. The characteristic frequency of the pulsed field is determined by the capacitance of the capacitors and the resistance and inductance of the circuit, which are primarily determined by a resistor 22 and the inductance of the coil 10. Immediately subsequent to closing the switch, an intense magnetic field is produced by current flowing in one direction. As the current changes direction, the magnetic field changes polarity. In one particular circuit, the oscillating current, and hence, the oscillating magnetic field, rapidly decreases after about ten oscillations, dropping to a few percent of the original magnetic field strength. Herein, magnetic field intensities refer to the intensities of the initial peaks.
The effect of the pulsed magnetic field on animal tissue is far different than the effect of the pulsed magnetic field on metallic objects. Biological materials have very substantially reduced electrical conductivity (or very substantially increased electrical resistivity) relative to metals and are not similarly deformed. Furthermore, the high electrical resistivity (generally above 25 ohms-cm and almost invariably above 10 ohms-cm) of biological materials assures that the interior regions of the material are not excessively shielded from the coil-generated magnatic field by induced eddy currents.
The method is applicable to practically any type of tissue and is believed applicable for treatment of most types of malignancies.
The intensity of the magnetic field that is used may be as low as about 1 Tesla and about as high as about 100 Tesla, and preferably the field intensity is between about 1 and about 50 Tesla. The actual intensity of the magnetic field used depends on the type of tumor being treated and the location of the tumor within the body.
Tumor destruction is most effective when pulsed fields are used having characteristic frequencies in the range of from about 5 to about 1000 kHz. This frequency range is described herein as a moderate frequency range. In comparison, microwave frequencies are several orders of magnitude higher, i.e., in the megaherzt/gigahertz range. Frequencies above 1000 kHz tend to heat tissue.
Total typical exposure time of a living animal to the magnetic field is minimal, ranging from about 100 microseconds up to about 1 second in each therapy session. With reference to the above-described apparatus, exposure time can be considered the number of pulses multiplied by the duration of each pulse. Herein, pulse duration is considered to be the period extending from initiation to the poirt that the substantially decayed field has a negligible effect. In each session, an animal is exposed to at least 1 and up to 1000 magnetic pulses. Generally a living animal would be subjected to at least ten puses at each. therapy session and up to one hundred pulses. An animal will be subjected to additional sessions until tumor remission is achieved.
At the frequencies and intensities of the pulses, heating of body tissues is of minimal significance, and a practically unlimited number of pulses can be administered without detectable heating of body tissues.
The reason that tumor cells are killed or rendered reproductively inactive has not yet been determined, and applicants are not bound by any particular theory. However, it is suggested that in the case of a pulsed magnetic field energy might be coupled into magneto-active parts of critical large molecules. Within the intensity range of 1-50 Tesla, the amount of energy per pulse coupled to one dipole is 10@-4 to 10@-2 eV. With several pulses and a collective assembly of dipoles, enough local actlvation may result in destruction of a covalent bond, which typically has an energy in the vicinity of about 1 eV.
Breakage of certain bonds in critical large molecules, particularly in the genetic material, is likely to either kill the cell or renier the cell incapable of reproducing itself. Mallgnant cells are more susceptible to destruction and/or inactivation by a pulsed intense electromagnetic field because the field may create eddy currents that are unique to the tumor. These localized eddy currents may cause effects that are deleterious to the viability and/or reproductive capability of the tumor cells. Alternatively, there may be macromolecules unique to malignant cells which are especially magnetically susceptible. However, the invention is not considered to be limited to any particular theory of why the method of treatment is effective. Another possible alternative is that the pulsed magnetic field interferes with the transfer of free radicals or electrons through a chain of macromolecules that are unique to malignant cells.
If the reproducing tumor cells can be reduced below a threshold population, normal anti-tumor mechanisms in the body may be sufficient to counter a residual population of clonogenic tumor cells. After the tumor is eliminated, natural regenerative processes may be relied on to repair or mitigate any damage to normal tissue.
It is understood that the extent of treatment is a trade-off between some damage to normal tissue versus the benefits derived from tumor abatement or elimination. However, experimental results to date (see Example 2 below) indicate that the method of the invention is far less damaging to normal tissue than is ionizing radiation. The relatively little damage to normal tissue as compared to that induced by treatment with ionizing radiation decreases the time required for repair or regeneration of normal tissues.
Furthermore, treatment with a pulsed magnetic field does far less damage to the natural immune system than does radiation treatment or chemotherapy. Frequently, a patient who is treated extensively with ionizing radiation and/or with chemotherapy will experience an almost complete breakdown of the immune system. Subsequent to treatment, the immune system may take up to a year to recover, particularly with respect to immunity to viral infections. As a result, even if a patient is cured of the malignancy by radiation and/or chemotherapy, he is subject to debilitating disease or even death by infections to which his body would ordinarily have built up immunity. with the magnetic treatment described herein, there has been no evidence of major immune system break-down.
A secondary advantage of the procedure of the present invention relative to radiation procedures is that it poses no hazard to the technician performing the process. The high intensity magnetic field exists only within the coil and immediately therearound. Within a very short distance from the coil, the magnetic field drops off dramatically. For example, whereas the field generated by a coil may have an intersity of 5 Tesla in the interior of the coil, within abort 2 meters exterior to the coil, the intensity drops off to below 10@-4 Tesla, a value comparable to the magretic field of the earth. Thus, providing that the teclnician is positioned a reasonable distance from the activated coil, there is substantially no likelihood of cells in the tissues of the technician being affected in a manner similar to the cells of the animal within the coil, and the process may be operated without any special shielding. Of course, the approximate distances increase in proportion to coil dimensions. One exception to this is that, as is the case with microwave apparatus, it should not be operated in the presence of persons wearing certain electrical or electronic prosthetic devices, such as pacemakers.
The invention will now be described in greater detail by way of specific examples.
EXAMPLE 1
In this experiment, the destructive effects of a high intensity, moderate frequency, pulsed magnetic field were compared for different types of cells grown in vitro, including both normal cells and malignant cells.
The effect of the pulsed magnetic field was examined on five types of cell lines: normal monkey kidney, normal mouse fibroblast, normal epithelial, undifferentiated carcinoma, and embryonal carcinoma. Cells were grown in confluent monolayers on Petri dishes and were treated briefly with trypsin. Supernatant liquid containing free-floating cells was removed, and test tubes containing aliquots of the free-floating cells were held at room temperature for the duration of the experiment. Tubes of cells were placed into the 4-inch coil of a conventional Magneform machine (Maxwell Laboratories) and given 8 pulses with the machine set to deliver approximately 10 kilojoules of energy at an intensity of 5 Tesla and a frequency of 8 kHz. As a control, tubes of cells were handled similarly but were not exposed to the magnetic field. Trypan blue was added to the test tubes to a final concentration of 0.2%. Aliquots of the cells were counted utilizing a hemocytometer and a light microscope; the total number of cells present per ml and the percentage staining with trypan blue, representing the percentage of killed cells, were calculated. Cells were ennumerated approximately 2 and 18 hours after treatment.
A summary of the results is presented in Table 1 below.

As can be seen from Table 1, the number of dead cells eighteen hours after exposure was significantly higher in the two malignant cell lines, e.g., by a factor of about two or more compared to normal cells.
EXAMPLE 2
In this experiment, albino rats with induced or transplanted tumors were subjected to high intensity, moderate frequency pulsed fields, and the effect of this field on the tumors was examined.
The following five groups of female albino rats were prepared: (1) 6 Sprague-Dawley rats bearing no tumors, (2) 7 Sprague-Dawley rats given a single oral feeding of dimethyl-benzanthracene (DMBA) approximately 1 month previously, inducing primary mammary carcinomas in each, (3) 6 Buffalo rats given 3 successive intravenous doses of N-nitrosomethyl urea (NMU) approximately 3 weeks previously, inducing primary mammary carcinomas in each, (4) 6 Buffalo rats, each with an NMU-induced mammary carcinoma transplanted to the popliteal region, (5) 6 Fisher rats, each with a mammary carcinoma of the 13762E/F344 line, transplanted to the popliteal region. If left untreated, all of the types of tumors would generally grow to a size of 20-30 cm@3, at which time the tumors would ulcerate. Rats having ulcerated tumors would generally die of secondary causes, such as infection, and in laboratories, rats are generally sacrificed at time of tumor ulceration for humane reasons. The mammary carcinomas in rats bearing primary tumors (groups 2 and 3) were measured in size (length and width measurements with a pair of calipers) for a period of 8 days prior to the start of the experiment. Tumors in rats bearing transplanted tumors were measured for a period of 3 days prior to the experiment. All groups of rats were given food and water ad libitum during the period of examination.
The rats were exposed once daily to a series of intense magnetic field pulses of brief duration. Two instruments were used, a conventional Magneform machine with a 4-inch diameter coil capable cf storing 8 kilojoules of energy, and a high frequency Magneform machine with a 1-inch diameter coil capable of storing 9.6 kilojoules of energy. With the conventional Magneform machine, the entire rat was placed inside the coil volume and subjected to a series of twenty 5 Tesla, 8 KHz pulses. With the high frequenry Magneform machine, tumor-bearing areas were either placed inside the coil, or apposed as closely as pcssible to the top of the coil, and were subjected to five 18 Tesla (at the center of the coil), 250 kHz pulses. For the first 3 days of the experimental period, each rat was anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (given by intraperitoneal injection) prior to exposure to the magnetic field. After this time, unanesthetized rats to be irradiated in the conventional Magneform machine were placed in a cloth enclosure which fit inside the coil volume. Rats to be irradiated in the high frequency Magneform machine were anesthetized. During the experimental period, each tumor was measured with calipers daily prior to exposure to the magnetic field.
The high frequency Magneform machine was employed for 1 rat in group 1, 2 rats in group 2, 2 rats in group 3, 2 rats in group 4, and 2 rats in group 5; all the other rats were treated with the conventional Magneform machine. In group 4, two rats died of an apparent overdose of anesthesia (respiratory arrest) prior to exposure for the third time.
At the conclusion of the treatment of 6 days, the rats were observed for an additicnal period of time, generally about 16 days, during which tumor sizes were measured daily or every other day until the animals were sacrificed.
All of the rats of the control group 1 remained healthy throughout the experiment, exhibiting no adverse reaction to exposure to the magnetic field.
A summary of tumor data of rat groups 2-5 is presented in Table 2 below.

*Includes multiple tumors of rats having primary induced tumors.
It can be seen from the above table that the method of the present invention is useful for treating a variety of malignacies, although the response varies according to the type of tumor. Accordingly, the method has general applicability to malignancy treatment.
EXAMPLE 3
Twelve rats having primary DMBA-induced mammary carcinomas were treated daily with a conventional Magneform machine. Primary mammary gland carcinoma induced by a carcinogen, such as DMBA or NMU, is highly virulent, as outlined in substantial detail in P. M. Guillino, et al., Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Vol. 54, no. 2, February 1974. It is common for such a tumor in a rat to increase in size by about 10-30 fold in about 30 days, and if left untreated almost invariably will ulcerate within about 45 days.
Ten of the rats are treated daily with 20 pulses at 5 Tesla and 8 KHz. Their tumor volumes on the lst and 30th days are listed in table 3 below:

It can be seen from the above table that after thirty days the tumors were either diminished in size, stabilized, or at least controlled relative to untreated tumors. Furthermore, all of the rats were alive after 60 days, some with stabilized or reduced tumors, although one rat was clearly terminal at 60 days.
The remaining two rats were treated in an identical manner but at 1/4th the field intensity, i.e., 1.2 Tesla, 8KHz, 20 pulses. One of these died on day 58 while the tumor size of the other had decreased in size from 1.6 cm@3 on day 1 to 1.4 cm@3 on day 62.
The rats generally appeared to exhibit normal behavior and appetite and did not appear to lose weight. The fact that the rats did not die of infections suggested that the immune systems functioned normally.
Although the invention has been described in terms of a preferred embodiment, modifications obvious to one with ordinary skill in the art may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Although malignant cell inactivation is effected in the absence of more conventional selective tumor cell destruction procedures, such as irradiation therapy or chemotherapy, it is understood that the magnetic therapy practiced in accordance with the present invention may be used in conjunction with other therapeutic procedures.
