Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hello everyone, I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and I've been using a zapper for probably a dozen years. I had a SyncroZap A2 model that this morning I destroyed in a freak accident. I looked for zappers on eBay, but I didn't find any of the ones that Dr. sells. I have an old home-built zapper which I will have to use in the meantime, but when I bought the A2, I felt it was somewhat more effective than my built-from-scratch unit. I recently modified it slightly to account for the " positive offset " that Dr. recommends, plus I stepped up the voltage to 12V using 8 alkaline AA batteries. Anyway, it will do for the time being. If anyone has a working older zapper they might consider selling, please email me privately. Or if you know where I might look to find a used one, any tips would be appreciated. I just feel I can ill-afford the new ones from Dr. 's site, although I know they offer more functionality. Still, the bottom line is I want a 30kHz square wave machine, preferrably with the timer function that my recently deceased zapper had. And I don't feel like paying $180+ to get that. I can build another one if I have to. I still wonder why the official Dr. zapper seemed to give me more benefits than my home-built model. The " business end " of the zapper is the 555 timer chip, and I wonder if the chip in the SyncroZap somehow put out a more ideal square wave or something -- no circuit is perfect, but some behave better than others. Perhaps if I build a new zapper with a different kind of 555 chip, a mil-spec or something, might work better. I just joined this group today. Perhaps much of this has been discussed in the past, but I haven't had time to look around or search the archives. I'm still in grief over the loss of my little electronic friend.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Which site is Dr. selling zappers from? www.Dr.com has nothing to do with her at all. See www.Hulda.net for more. Blessings!

Does anyone know? > The values of electronic parts, especially capacitors, may change a bit over time, and this might affect the frequency somewhat. But my understanding of Dr. 's zapping concept is that frequency is not critical. The circuit is supposed to put out a square wave, which is akin to turning the battery current on and off really fast. Normally, her circuit would cause the current to turn on and off about 30,000 times a second. But if it was only 20,000 times or 40,000 times, I don't think it would make a big difference. Now, if you're talking about a SINE wave put out by a frequency generator -- Dr. has lists of these frequencies in her book which are supposedly specific for different parasites or viruses or bacteria -- then frequency is critical. But a square wave is ideally just like turning the battery current on, and then off, very very rapidly. As such I would have no qualms about using an older zapper, if I could find one. If I was uncertain, I could always test it on an oscilloscope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Hi, As per Dr. 's book, any frequency 10Hz. to 50KHz square wave works. Need not be fuzzy about the rightness. Old one, if working, is going to be as effective. =================================== Victor ez wrote: > But do zappers retain the right frequency? Is a used one going to be > as effective?
