Re: vacation unit question

March 21, 2005

check out our photos section, there's a smaller one using a 9volt

battery and 15k ohm resistor (radio shack). not much mor complex

than the apprentice model.

The switch will not be needed for bites, etc. it's a gizmo to make

reversing the current easier for sick people in bed. You, on the

trail, will be able to switch electrodes easily every 5 minutes or

so on the bite, etc. The LITE is the one I'd use.

you can either use 1 9 volt battery and a 10k-22k ohm resistor on

it, or use 4 AAA's in a plastic holder, and skip the resistor, since

this will give you 6 volts. The trail can be rough on connections

so the 9 volt thing makes sense, less contact points.

Baking soda is optional.

Hope you don't need the thing, but you're right, it's wonderful to

have one. don't skip the other 1st aid stuff you need though.

you don't need cotter pins (older technology) just use the

Apprentice Godzilla type of electrodes for this.

carry the solid brick Apprentice in the car, too. The more people

see this thing.. well do I have to draw pictures? Each time another

caregiver, like you and the other folks here show this thing around

and it gets used, more inert microbes result, and the immune systems

begin to copy them. You become immune to the things you neutralize

eventually. and so do others. So they are no longer carriers. Good

for them, good for you. Besides the conversational topics soon drop

down to the boring stuff, and since this is interesting, it can save

the day.

Have a nice trip,

Bob
