Why and How to reverse the current

[Guest guest]

If you keep the thing on the wrist without reversing electrodes, you

may notice some soreness in finger joints after 10 minutes or more at

high currents.

We usually like to reverse it every 5 minutes with high currents and

short application times. For lower current, and longer times, you

can use 10 minutes instead.

If you have an automatic switching device like a Beck device, you can

modify it if you can get inside and find the timing circuit. But

that is very dependent on the device you have. SOTA's is timed by a

special unit that isn't easy to modify. In our photos section is a

series of shots of a basic auto-switching Beck type device. That can

be modified easily by using a larger capacitor for timing the

switching.

This is all pretty basic: you need to reverse it sometime so that

the current doesn't pile up too many chemical changes. Reversing it

undoes the changes, to some extent. That's why we do it. It is not

to do something to the microbe. It's only in case any side effects

from too much current in one direction would possibly cause some

problem in the body. We have no reports yet of any such things, but

we don't want any, either!
