I haven't looked much into the zappers since they apparently won't help with a problem I am trying to solve - a parasite problem in one of my cats that has been resistant to numerous medications. But I have been looking into magnetic pulsers since they may be able to solve the problem. I think much of the info I have found about magnetic pulsers is applicable to zappers, zillas, etc. It seems to me that there are generally two methods that zappers, zillas, Beck blood electrification and Rife machines use to kill pathogens. The first is the method Ode has posted about where sodium hydroxide and hypochlorous acid are created by DC currents or uni-polar pulses. The second method is the disruption of the protein on the surfaces of pathogens by an electrical current. Personally, I think that the frequency of current application and bidirectional electrical currents can enhance the disruption caused by an electrical current but it is not entirely necessary except when the electrical current without the frequency/ bidirectional enhancement is too weak by itself to damage the pathogen. Here is some interesting info I have found about magnetic pulsers.
From http://www.horsemagneticpulser.com/HMPTechview.html: "Technical Overview - Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy Many phenomena occur when animal tissue is exposed to rapidly changing magnetic fields. Which phenomenon is most observed depends on the strength, rate of change of, and duration of change of the magnetic field. For example, electrical eddy currents will be produced in the interstitial body fluids. As discussed below charge density waves can be expected to disrupt and destroy microbe functions. The electrical eddy currents, when they enter the range of 100 microamperes per square centimeter to 200,000 microamperes per square centimeter, begin to biologically deactivate all manner of viruses and microbes as discussed in U.S. Patent # 5,188,738. Another useful and interesting phenomenon that can be caused by a repeatedly pulsed magnetic field is dedifferentiation of fibroblast cells and some types of precursor endothelial cell types into embryonic looking cells. This dedifferentiation of fibroblast cells is very important for tissue regeneration and repair. Before we discuss tissue repair and regeneration any further, let us look at killing of infections in the tissue using charge density waves. It is well known that tissue repair cannot effectively occur until infection is under control. Whenever an animal suffers a traumatic physical injury there is both macroscopic and microscopic tissue damage. Viruses and bacteria that are normally in the blood flow now have new places in the damaged tissue to set up shop and develop into an infection region. Charge Density Wave Therapy - Charge density waves are a moving compaction or rarefaction of the normal equilibrium ion density in an ionic medium. For example your body's blood plasma and interstitial fluids are a salt solution similar to ocean water. The blood plasma and interstitial fluids are full of all kinds of positive and negative ions (H+, Na+, K+, Cl-, Mg++, Ca++, HCO2-, OH-, etc.). By applying a rapidly changing electric field to the boundary layer of the salt solution, i.e. your dead skin layer or bone/flesh interface, etc., moving compaction and moving rarefaction waves (charge density waves) in the salt solution can be generated. In our case or situation the rapidly changing electric field at the body tissue interfaces is generated by the rapidly changing magnetic field from the HORSE MAGNETIC PULSER treatment coil. These charge density waves can have rather strong electric fields associated with the interface between the moving charge density wave front and the undisturbed ionic medium through which the waves are propagating. The strength of these electric fields is determined by how fast the magnetic field polarity flip/reversal is completed and the overall magnitude of the magnetic field. If the electric field is strong enough it can interact with protein molecules in the blood, in interstitial spaces, on virus surfaces, and on bacteria surfaces and rearrange their structures so they no longer perform their normal function. In general proteins in living systems are strings of amino acids that are folded up into specific configurations and are held in these configurations by cross liking hydrogen bonds and short range Van der Waals forces. These hydrogen bonds are very weak chemical bonds. The proteins have various net positive and net negatively charged regions on them. The electric field of the moving charge density wave interacts with these net charge regions and puts forces on these protein molecules. If the forces are high enough hydrogen bonds can be broken and the protein rearranges itself. In general the size, shape, and specific charge configuration of a specific protein is crucial to the proper functioning of that protein. As a charge density wave overcomes/passes over a virus the electric field of the charge density wave can rearrange the virus surface proteins responsible for attachment of the virus to the target cell. With these surface attachment proteins non-functional the virus cannot infect new cells. Similarly, when charge density waves pass over the surface of bacteria they can denature delicate bacteria surface proteins used by and often essential for the bacteria's ongoing proper functioning and continued existence. Also, and perhaps more importantly these electric fields associated with the charge density waves can rearrange or denature the protein toxins released by most bacteria, which are very disruptive to normal healthy cellular activities. Whether any particular microbial or viral infection will be curtailed by the HORSE MAGNETIC PULSER is problematical. The only way to know is to try it and see. Lymph Fluid Pumping - The coil on the HORSE MAGNETIC PULSER has a high voltage oscillating discharge of current through it several times per second. The associated electric field generated in the tissue by each of these high voltage oscillating current discharges activates many of the motor axon fibers and the associated muscles go through a sharp involuntary contraction movement. This muscle contraction squeezes the lymph vessels that run through and around muscle tissue. Since the lymph vessels have one-way values in them, the lymph fluid is pumped in only one direction during each muscle flex or contraction. This way the lymph fluid is removed from a damaged area or region, which allows waste products to be removed and new blood plasma derived fluid to enter the tissue carrying needed nutrients to the damaged region. This lymph removal process can bring down swelling in the damaged region and accelerate the healing process. Tissue Repair After Infection Is Under Control - When a mammal suffers severe/traumatic physical injury, i.e. tissue damage, fibroblast cells which are normally found in the fatty tissues and circulate in the blood, accumulate at the damaged tissue site to form an emergency tissue patch. If the damage is not to sever the injury will be nearly fully repaired with only minor scar tissue remaining in the area. The scar tissue is mainly made up of fibroblast cells that have laid down and are maintaining a tough collagen protein fiber matrix, which holds all the surrounding tissue together. When these fibroblast and/or endothelial cells are made to dedifferentiate by exposure to the appropriate pulsed magnetic field, while they are part of and are maintaining scar tissue or damaged tissue soon to become scar tissue, the result apparently is that some of the cells do not go back to being fibroblast and endothelial cells. Instead they become the type of cell that should be there at their location in the damaged tissue or on the scar tissue edge, if the damaged tissue or scar tissue were not there. By exposing the damaged tissue or scar tissue to repeated pulsed magnetic fields for approximately 5 to 15 minutes varying from twice a day several hours apart to once every other day for approximately one to several weeks much of the damaged tissue or scar tissue, judging from empirical field usage results, can apparently be repaired/removed and be replaced with normal healthy tissue. The fibroblast and endothelial precursor cells are apparently made to go embryonic due to drastic changes in ionic concentrations in the cell cytoplasm and therefore the cell nucleus. These ionic concentrations react with the cell DNA and DNA coupling proteins apparently causing the opening up of some gene sets and the closing down of others. It is apparently the rapid onset of a strong pulsed electric field generated by the pulsed magnetic field which causes some cell ion gate types to either open and/or be set into their natural mechanical resonate vibration mode, which effectively makes the gates open and then they can be forced fed ions by the same oscillating electric field. Experiments that were conduced at the Center for Complex Infectious Diseases showed a relatively wide range of combinations of range of pulsed electric field rise times, pulsed electric field strengths, electric field pulse time widths, pulse rates, and total time of exposure to pulses that could produce the desired results of having fibroblast cells become embryonic looking and apparently embryonic like in their behavior." As you can see, the magnetic pulser is just one method for getting electrical currents to a pathogen or a damaged portion of the body. You could also use an electrical DC current, electrical pulses or RIFE machines to do the same. The only issue is which method can effectively get the electrical current where you need it. Here is some info on healing with electrical pulses: http://www.horsemagneticpulser.com/1028article.html This page has some links regarding magnetic pulsers re-growing brain cells: http://www.horsemagneticpulser.com/Horseresources.html This page has links to studies on using magnetic pulsers for osteoporosis and for disinfecting water and food. I am very interested in the food disinfection possibilities. http://www.soul-guidance.com/health/magneticpulses.htm - Steve N -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
