Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Hot spots are hard to fix, even if you do wrap things very carefully. I think it may be better to use a sponge than cloth or other covering. The type of sponge is the " ocello " or cellulose that holds water pretty well. Natural sponge or plastic sponge usually do not hold water as well. The way I like to construct it is like " fingers " on a glove, but using a solid but flexible backing. The easiest is a large foam paint brush. I will post some photos soon of this idea and it may be interesting for you to try out vs the thing you now use. I like the fingers idea as it limits how much current can go into each finger, and when applied to body, it is more concentrated than a flat pad. Each finger is like a ray going into the body, and if you move a bit during the application, it should provide an intense beam into the body through a more narrow area and be more aggressive against the germs in the path. bG > > Hi, > > I found two scabs on my back, and after a while I realized that they > probably are a result of my using 5x5 " stainless steel plates hitched > up to a 6v battery.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Thanks for replying bG. I'll check out the new info when it the time comes. In the meantime I'm going to use the wrist Zilla for an hour a day, hopefully for 30 minutes every 12 hours. I'll keep in touch and let you all know how the Zhang herbal therapy is going. With micro currents it could *possibly* lick Hep C for me, if not it might give me dramatic health benefits. The stuff really works and seems to immediately increase circulation and blood flow to the liver. He speaks highly of schizandra herb for Hep C. It's in what I'm taking.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Personally I consider the cloth covering essential to avoid exactly what happened to you. I doubt there is any worry other than waiting for it to heal. Jack Injury from Using Godzilla Hi, I found two scabs on my back, and after a while I realized that they probably are a result of my using 5x5 " stainless steel plates hitched up to a 6v battery. I placed one on the liver and one directly behind it. They seemed kind of slow to heal. I went to a doctor to have him look at these. He said they are just scratches, but I didn't tell him about the micro currents I use. Is there any chance that I should be concerned about this turning into a dangerous skin condition? I picked the top off of one of these this morning. It must have been a type of burn I got from where the wires are connected to the plates. I wrap these up with wet cotton wash cloths and hold them on with bobby pins. I didn't feel much pain when this happened, just the normal tingling. In the future I think I should make sure the plates are totally covered by the cloths, and the pins are on the back of it and not touching my skin. Thanks for any advice on this.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I had cloth covering but still got a 3rd degree burn 3 times on the wrist from just too much for too long. It took an inordinately long time to heal. What occurs is a hot spot begins and it accelerates as the body rushes fluids to the burn area, thus reducing resistance and increasing the current at the spot even more. It is a vicious cycle if it gets out of hand. I hope using it wisely comes along with this, but if not, then some minor burns are inevitable and sensitivity to it at that spot will probably then be permanent. So, go easy... bG > > Personally I consider the cloth covering essential to avoid exactly what happened to you.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Do you know what the current was? Wasn't there some sensation at the application point? I know I'm full of questions but this seems like an important subject.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 As an aside, I had a similar problem with 'biocircuits' about 30 years back. But my problem was because of a non-similar metal problem (in my case lead/tin solder that was used to fix wire to copper screen) Since our body looks like a bowl of salt water, dissimilar metals make a pretty good battery, like it or not. I found that covering my solder joints with plastic tape solved the problem. I seem to recall that the fellow who started this subject was using copper connected to stainless steel -- a potential problem if the junction and presumed copper were not kept well out of the circuit. --- baby_grand <no_reply > wrote: > I had cloth covering but still got a 3rd degree burn > 3 times on the > wrist from just too much for too long.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 The biggest thing that causes burns is not keeping the electrodes wet enough and not having them tight against the skin. the reason for this is that the current concentrates on one point and that is like turning the power way up. keep electrodes wet and tight against skin keeps the current conducting over the entire surface of the electrode. You want the current to be distributed over the entire surface of the electrode not matter what and the only way to do it is to keep it BOTH wet and tight against skin. Even if its wet and not tight you can get burned because the tightness determines the resistance between the electrode and the skin. you want the least resistance possible over the entire surface of the electrode to keep the current spread out over the entire surface. All electrical action happens at the point where the resistance is highest. A light bulb is a good example, the current flows throught the entire circuit of the house wiring and switcg but the light is generated at the light bulb filament because that is the point of highest resistance, same with a toaster, the elements in the toaster have a higher resistance than the power cord does that is why it gets hot in the filaments. Same applies to your electrodes, the point with the greatest resistance burns. So keep them wet and keep them tight so you don't create a high resistance point. I know when I use the wrist electrodes I need to refresh the water in the cotton at least every 15 minutes. If you are not doing that you will eventually get burned. the burns do not hurt while you are getting burned but they do after and they heal very slowly.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 When I burned my wrist from trying to see how much I could stand (this was a couple years ago when we were building the 4hz Beck device, and I put in a smaller resistor, so I could crank it up higher) I could feel a slight itch or like an insect gnawing. BG has said that DC current does deaden feeling.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I think they heal so slowly, because the heat cooks the flesh. I knew a kid in the Army 50 years ago who said he went to sleep on a train and his leg fell over against an unprotected steam pipe. He had on cowboy boots and didn't wake up when it was cooking. (He may have been drunk.) He said it was cooked like a well done roast, and took months to heal, after the doctors carved out the cooked flesh. Sleep well.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 About six months ago I did the same thing. I was overseas and had made a new Ziller up. I applied it to my back for some problem or other when I was alone in my room - warm in bed, with snow outside - and fell asleep. So all night it could do what it liked to me. I didn't know anything was amiss until I happened to feel what seemed to be a hole, a cavity, in my back and then, when I felt around with my fingers, another. I guessed after a while what it must be, thanks to bG having mentioned something about it way back. The holes filled in with a scab, though I was not strong enough to resist the temptation to scratch out the scab to have a look at it. Silly of me. They were really holding on fast in some spots, but having started scratching I kept on. Even that healed well. At no stage did I feel pain, though I do get a bit of an itch on my back sometimes that, come to think of it, may be related to the episode. Rowena it. They seemed kind of slow to heal. I went to a doctor to have him look at these. He said they are just scratches, but I didn't tell him about the micro currents I use. Is there any chance that I should be concerned about this turning into a dangerous skin condition? I picked the top off of one of these this morning.
