Ken, Zappers were proposed by Bob Beck and Hulda Clark. Beck claimed to be a physicist, and would have known that electrons cannot flow in an electrolyte. However, he claimed his Zapper could do just that and that it would cure all diseases. Here is a 1998 talk where Beck claims his Zapper will kill ALL pathogens and parasites, including HIV. He claims the blood circulates in the body in 9 or 10 seconds (5:00). This is false. It takes a minute or so. Note also that he uses stainless steel electrodes. Please see below for more information. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC7M_rhg2yU Clearly the device does not do what he claims. If it did, HIV would not exist, and we would not need antibiotics. Every hospital and clinic would be using them instead. That is obviously not true. Hulda Clark has a slightly different version and made much the same claims. However, she also claimed to have the ability to cure cancer. However, Hulda Clark died of cancer in 2009. From Wikipedia: Clark's claims and devices have been dismissed by authorities ranging from the US Federal Trade Commission and Food and Drug Administration to alternative medicine figures such as Andrew Weil as scientifically unfounded, "bizarre",[3] and potentially fraudulent.[2] Clark died 3 September 2009 of multiple myeloma (a blood and bone cancer).[4][5][6] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulda_Regehr_Clark Hulda's Zapper supposedly worked by shaking or vibrating a germ until it falls apart, like the famous Memorex commercial that shatters a wine glass. However, bacteria are not brittle like crystal, and there is no way any energy from a Zapper could reach them. The first problem is skin effect that causes high frequencies to travel on the outside of a body and not penetrate very deeply. The second problem is the energy in the harmonics falls off extremely rapidly, and there is negligible energy at the frequencies that might resonate with a bacterial cell. Again, if her device worked as she claims, we would no longer have any illness, and all the pharmaceutical companies would have gone out of business long ago. These devices would be used in every home and clinic, and about the only thing we would need doctors for would be the occasional broken bone. None of this has happened. Your sinus irritation might be caused by low humidity which dries the sinuses. It could also be caused by irritation from the toxins in mold spores, possibly from your pillow. It could be caused by mold spores coming from padded furniture or an infestation buried in walls or some hidden place in the basement. In these cases, the Zapper has no effect and the soreness is simply going away by itself as you move about or open the windows for ventilation. The copper ions released by the iontophoreses travel very slowly, especially with the low voltage present. It is very unlikely that a Zapper is able to do anything to help bacterial infections that are located more than a few centimeters beneath the surface. It is extremely unlikely that Zapping will have any effect on viral infections. However, copper is easily corroded and it is very difficult to find pure copper that has not been contaminated by oxidation or other sources. The copper in wire is very pure, but the insulation material releases contamination that quickly embeds into the surface. Also, the manufacturing process does nothing to remove the lubrication needed to draw the wire through the dies, so they remain on the surface where they will migrate inwards over a period of time. I just went through a lengthy exercise to try to scrap and sand the contamination from the surface of 12 ga copper wire. Even though I removed a substantial amount of material from the surface, the copper still proved to be severely contaminated. You would have to find wire with an inert insulation such as Teflon, and freshly-made so any contaminating oils from the drawing operation would not have enough time to migrate into the surface. Under no circumstance should you ever use stainless steel for the electrodes. This could be extremely dangerous. Please see my note in http://www.mail-archive.com/silver-list@eskimo.com/msg145183.html If you are getting bad colds or infections, your cs is not good enough. You should never find the need to resort to Zapping when you are taking quality cs with a silver ion concentration above 20uS.
