Copper grounding plate

[Guest guest]

What is a good local source of a copper grounding plate? I have tried

hardware, plumbing, roofing/siding, arts & crafts stores, all without

results. I have an online source but would rather try to buy it

locally. If I buy it online, I would like a health or food grade

quality copper that does not have contaminants that would be absorbed

by the skin since the skin is the largest absorptive organ of the

body.

I would worry more about the copper itself since it

will probably cause more toxicity than the zinc, tin,

or other " contaminants. " Do not use copper against

the skin.

I have not seen any studies of skin absorption of metal electrodes. I do

note that Hulda , in The Cure... recommended copper hand holds, covered

with paper soaked in saline solution. Perhaps the paper provides protection

from copper absorption. Dr. was so concerned about the absorption of

metals, I find it difficult to believe that she would recommend copper if

absorption was an issue.

R. Voll, said to be the founder of elctroacupuncture, reported on a testing

of a number of metals, including silver, and concluded that brass or graphite

were the best for electrodes. Voll's conclusion was based on factors such as

accuracy, expense, patient reactions, and ease of use. However, I did not

find mention of absorption as an issue he considered. Brass is an alloy that

contains copper. Voll indicated that in addition to its accuracy in taking

readings, brass was preferred because it was not already present in the body.

I used brass pipe for handholds for the zapper and haven't noticed any

adverse effects or even any discoloration of skin where my hands contact the

paper conducters.

If absorption is of concern, would graphite alleviate the concern? I wonder

if a graphite sheet could be found for plate electrodes? I don't know much

about graphite, but I'm guessing that it is expensive and difficult to work

with.

> ly, , I do not know a lot about this. But I do not really like the

idea of having any metal against my skin,

especially with electricity flowing through it. I just feel that there is too

much possibility of contaminants being

released.

Same here. I have been thinking about building a

grounding plate and handheld electrodes or pads

with fine silver sheet (available at numerous

places on the net.) Just get a couple of 6 x 12 "

pieces of the sheet, glue them on a board a few

inches apart, and attach a grounding wire. For

handheld electrodes, wrap the sheet around copper

pipe. The connections could be made with banana

jacks or binding posts to make reconfiguring easy,

so that zapping could be done from foot to foot,

hands to feet, etc. Since I don't use pad devices

much, I have not gotten around to this.

I use a tesla tube device occasionally, though,

where the tube can be held and grounding the feet

increases the effects. For this, I typically use

a foot bath, the electric kind with massage and

heat. The water is grounded when it is plugged in.

I add some salt or epsom salts (and usually

some wintergreen, rosemary, and tea tree oils

to increase the effects in fighting acute illness.)
