The promise of electromedicine and silver is absolutely astounding.

The best practical example is with the treatment of subdermal cystic
conditions, which resist almost any direct treatment modalities.  However,
there are big concerns with the amount of current being delivered into the
body, and the path(s) through tissues, i.e. the travel of current in the
body...

It is very easy to induce localized argyria by using too much current and
silver when working with damaged tissue; I have a tiny grey/black spot on my
face which was the result of my early experimentations which did not include
proper current control...  I was just too excited to test ideas, and just
couldn't help myself!  *grins*  Where I went wrong with my zealous haste:
The first few seconds were fine; I wasn't using a conductive gel; the
"tingling sensation" which followed was interesting, and I wanted to explore
the feeling; and I had tested normal healthy tissue first, on the arm, and
had no problem; I didn't realize how greatly current travel could differ
between healthy and damaged/healing tissues.  I didn't want the experiment
to fail, so I continued despite the sensations which would normally serve as
"warning".

My mistake, made a few years ago, which I like to view rather as a great and
fun learning experiment,  is easy to avoid.

All of the devices I currently have still can produce too much current; the
current is fine for tissues that are healthy, but with damaged tissue, the
conductivity increases, and dramatically.

The ideal device would allow absolute current control, according to the
specs laid out by Dr. Robert O. Becker, and be used with a conductive gel
and two silver electrodes.  The electrode spacing should be adjusted to the
edges of the area being treated.  DC current should be used, with a pulsing
mechanism to help control the current travel ( paths of current flow ) in
the body ( we only want to deliver a small amount of silver ions into the
body, not utilize the current and electricity for therapuetic purposes ).
Based only upon my rough estimates from personal experience, it takes
between 2-5 seconds for paths of current to be established in the body's
tissues.    10 second pulses, I estimate, would be about right if one is
using the "proper" amount of current, with, perhaps, two second pauses...
HOWEVER, this is based only upon my subjective and limited experimentation,
and much more work needs to be done.

All of that said, my experimentations to date HAVE been amazingly effective.
Bacteria and virii can be effectively killed using "silver iontophoresis",
where silver applied topically fails.

However, I still do not have a device that performs the way I'd like it to;
potentiometers can be used to allow "scalable" adjustments to the amount of
current being delivered, and there should be an "indicator" that indicates
when a circuit has actually been established.  We then need to study the
miminal amount of current flow required to effectively deliver silver ions
to the "treatment area".  This will, likely, vary from situation to
situation.

I like to leave the "engineering" of such things to those who are proficient
in engineering.  Such devices exist, but they are wildly over-priced, at
least for "my" purposes!

It should be possible to deliver silver ions directly into the bloodstream
utilizing silver iontophoresis.

My "advice" to those who would experiment with such things is to read "Body
Electric" and "Cross Currents", by Dr. Robert O. Becker, VERY carefully, and
take his word as golden.  TENS units were produced based entirely upon his
work, and it should be noted that Dr. Becker DID NOT agree with the amount
of current being delivered into the body via these devices.

Dr. Becker was trying to emmulate the amount of current that is NATURALLY
used by the body. His methodology was easier, as he was a surgeon, and could
actually implant the silver electrodes in the body.

The state of his works is both sad and heroic.  He likely saved many, many
lives in New York ( see "Cross Currents" ), but it cost him both his lab,
and his funding, when he was on the brink of true organ regeneration in
humans.

His work will not be completed unless an independent researcher with a good
amount of financial resources completes it.  While Dr. Becker is still
publishing, his ability to actually do research is now quite limited, even
if he was given the resources.

On more than one occasion, I've literally begged for independant analysis
and funding for independent research centering upon his works.  The world is
not interested, and when they are, they tend to distort his original
findings...  seeking an "easier, softer way" than the truth.

Best Regards,

Jason
