CANCER BOB BECK

People who try the Beck Protocol come from all walks of life. Some are looking for a way to gain better health, others are facing a health challenge or are at a point where established health protocols have failed them. One comment we hear from many that try the Beck Protocol is that they have come to realise that our health is up to each of us. As you learn more about Bob Beck and the Beck Protocol, let your heart be your guide in order to decide if this is right for you.This is an opportunity, as Bob would say, to “Take Back Your Power.”

Bob Beck was widely known for his instrumentation of altered states in brain research, his development of state–of– the–art medical Alternatives and his investigation of Tesla electromagnetics. He had been a consultant to Sandia Corporation, The USN Office of Surface Weaponry on the subject of E.L.F. detection, and was a Senior Staff Scientist at Eyring Research Institute. He was Acting Chief of Radiological Defense, OCD, in Los Angeles from 1958 through 1963. He designed and built extremely sensitive magnetometers for the Navy. He had also been a senior lecturer in the graduate school, University of Southern California. In 1969, Bob founded the Monitor Electronics Research Corporation and the Alpha–Metrics Company for the manufacturing of ethical EEG biofeedback instruments. As a university student, he designed and patented the low–voltage electronic flash (Strobelights, 1946). He was responsible for several other patents involving electro–optical systems. Bob served on the Board of Directors of the U.S. Psychotronics Association for seven years and was their National President for three consecutive terms. He was co–chairman of the Los Angeles USPA and has been a professional member of the Audio Engineering Society, the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, the Biological Photographers Association and other organizations. In 1982, he developed the Brain Tuner. Research using the Brain Tuner is mentioned in Super–Learning 2000 by Sheila Ostrander & Lynn Schroeder, 1994 and in Mega Brain Power by Michael Hutchison, 1994. His earlier work with the brain is discussed in Energy Medicine, The Scientific Basis, by James L. Oschman, 2000. Bob Beck was the recipient of international awards for Science and Electromedicine including: 1) Unprecedented two time winner of the J.G. Gallimore award for scientific achievement from the U.S. Psychotronics Association—the latest in 1998.

2) The John Fetzer Foundation pioneering award in 1990. In addition, Bob had an extensive speaking background—health shows, Global Science conferences, the Granada Forum, universities and colleges. He was interviewed on several television and radio shows. Bob lived in Los Angeles with his wife Johanna at the time of his passing.

In 1990 a remarkable discovery was made.

Two medical doctors, Stephen Kaali and William Lyman, from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, discovered that applying microcurrents to cultured white blood cells infected with viruses disabled the viruses without affecting normal healthy cells. In 1991, the potential of this research discovery was announced in Science News magazine:

Zapping the AIDS virus with low–voltage electric current can nearly eliminate its ability to infect human white blood cells cultured in the laboratory, ....

William D. Lyman and his colleagues found that exposure to 50 to 100 microamperes of electricity—comparable to that produced by a cardiac pacemaker—reduced the infectivity of the AIDS virus (HIV) by 50 to 95 percent. Their experiments ... showed that the shocked viruses lost the ability to make an enzyme crucial to their reproduction, and could no longer cause the white cells to clump together—two key signs of virus infection.

The finding could lead to tests of implantable electrical devices or dialysis–like blood treatments in HIV–infected patients, Lyman says. In addition, he suggests that blood banks might use electricity to zap HIV, and vaccine developers might use electrically incapacitated viruses as the basis for an AIDS vaccine.

The following year, after interviewing Dr. Steven Kaali, Longevity magazine added:

... most of the AIDS viruses in a blood sample will lose their infectious capability after being zapped by a very low–level current. Repeated exposure appears to leave blood virtually free of HIV, as well as hepatitis—without harming blood cells.

It is important to note that the research in the lab at Albert Einstein College of Medicine was based on taking the blood out of the body to expose it to microcurrents and was conducted in a laboratory setting.

So, what happened as a result of this ground-breaking research? What happened since 1990 to improve health and save lives all over the world? Nothing. The patent filed based on this research was sold, and nothing more happened.

Modern medicine has ignored this astounding discovery.

Enter Bob Beck.

Based on all the research Bob Beck was already aware of, he felt this discovery would have far wider applications than any one disease. He wondered if this was a way our Creator had left a back-door to help our bodies heal—using electricity. It would take only a few years to show that electricity does indeed have far wider applications for healing.

Bob Beck believed the public had a right to choose to use safe, simple technology. Bob’s design for passing microcurrents through blood brought the use of gentle electricity for healing directly to the public. His design allowed micropulsing to be easily used at home, the office or outdoors.

Bob affectionately called applying microcurrents to blood, “blood electrification.” He also described his unit as a “blood purifier” or as a “blood cleaner.”

Bob Beck’s inspiration, to apply gentle electricity to the blood in an easy-to-use way, worked—it boosted the body’s ability to heal itself.

As Bob gained experience with and received feedback from individuals using micropulsing, he saw the need for three additional steps to help the body to heal.

Bob Beck created the Beck Protocol, a natural health, bioelectric protocol designed to help the body heal itself. His passion for using electrotherapy technology to help us heal led him to develop five ways to improve health. Four of the steps work together and have become known as the Beck Protocol or the Bob Beck protocol.

The first of the four steps is the use of microcurrents of electricity known as micropulsing or blood electrification. The second step is magnetic pulsing, the application of a pulsed magnetic field. Drinking ionic colloidal silver is the third step and drinking ozonated water is the fourth. The fifth way applies mild frequencies to harmonize and relax the brain using his Brain Tuner, also known as the Bio Tuner.

The Beck Protocol was born.

The four parts of the Beck Protocol work in harmony to boost the healing process:

Micropulsing

Magnetic pulsing

Ionic colloidal silver

Ozonating water

All four steps are designed to work

together for greater effectiveness. Each part

of the Beck Protocol is a powerful tool for health

on its own… feel free to use each individually.

What is "The Bio-Tuner"?

A unit similar to The Bio-Tuner (BT9) was featured in OMNI Magazine, Volume 5, Number 4, January 1983. Article was written by Kathleen McAuliffe. Title of the article is "The Black Box - Secret ... Treatment of Rock Superstars".

"The implications of this work are stunning," says physicist Bob Beck, the expert on electromagnetic fields, long employed as a consultant to the Department of Defense

Dr. Margaret Patterson, a Scottish surgeon, visiting the US from England. Dr. Patterson's work was featured in the January 1983 issue of Omni magazine when Peter Townsend, a British rock star, went public after stopping his slide into "drugged oblivion". The article, "Brain Tuner", by Kathleen McAuliffe caught Bob Beck's attention. Dr. Patterson had developed a "black box" to help her patients with their addictions after working with Dr. H. L. Wen in Hong Kong using electroacupuncture. Dr. Wen had discovered some of his patients were overcoming addictions without severe withdrawal symptoms. Bob Beck subsequently developed his own Brain Tuner after attending a seminar in Quebec, Canada in 1982. He met a researcher who had visited Russia to learn about a device that was highly effective with addictions. This researcher told Bob, she "had finally located the secret frequency that was causing the tissue to rejuvenate. … Now there are three magic numbers which caused the rejuvenation, the healing, rapid re–stimulation of the neuro–transmitters. … they are in the little box that we built." In fact Beck's device has over 200 beneficial frequencies. The first unit was called a BT5. Later, Bob added extra settings in a model called the BT6. For his work with the brain Bob Beck received the John Fetzer Foundation pioneering award in 1990. Research with Beck's Brain Tuner gained attention in two books published in the 90's: Mega Brain Power, by Michael Hutchison and Super–Learning 2000 by Sheila Ostrander & Lynn Schroeder. More recently, James Oschman referred to Beck's research in Energy Medicine, The Scientific Basis.

The Bio-Tuner is an electronic relaxation system. Micro-current energy pulses appear to have a profound balancing effect on the individual and tend to produce a state of over-all relaxation and well being. The Bio-Tuner outputs a modified rectilinear waveform with over 500 Harmonic frequencies in each pulse.

The brain tuner by Bob Beck has been helping people relax for over 20 years. The brain tuner is an experimental, electronic instrument that delivers minute levels of relaxing energy to the body through electrodes. These micro-current energy pulses appear to stimulate and re-balance certain brain neurotransmitter chemicals such as endorphins, seratonin, dopamine, etc. that may be involved in many stress related conditions.

Some of these neurotransmitters are also thought to be linked to memory, creativity, learning, and intelligence.

As a Cranial Electro Stimulation (CES) device, research on Bob Beck’s Brain Tuner is referred to in two recently published books: MegaBrain Power by Michael Hutchison and SuperLearning 2000 by Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder.

Over the years, suppliers of Bob Beck’s Brain Tuners apparently received feedback from individuals who found the units were instrumental in helping them overcome addictions, insomnia, depression, learning disorders and pain.

Most individuals describe the experience as being one of focused deep relaxation, even when high emotional tension or stress have been present. Following the normal 2 to 4 week application routine, many BT-11 users experience significant positive changes in their lives and in their relationships with others.

Many users experience a more positive, energetic outlook, better mental clarity and feelings of improved self-esteem. The many daily challenges of life seem easier to handle and negative reactions to everyday stress and tension are diminished. Many individuals have reported that previous negative habits and unhealthy behavior patterns gradually diminish over a 1 to 4 week period of use.

The numerous benefits of BT-11 tend to be cumulative in nature and gradually reveal themselves over a period of 1 to 4 weeks. Change is spontaneous and effortless.

Electro-acupuncture? Electropharmacy?

The Brain Tuner, by Bob Beck, the most well-known Cranial Electric Stimulator (CES), produces over 500 frequencies that can rapidly balance and restore the natural energies of your body and mind. Some have called this technique "electro-acupuncture" because it appears to have a similar ability to normalize brain chemistry..

Keying off Russia research into the effect of CES on addiction, depression, sleep, stress, and learning, Bob Beck learned about a "magic frequency" that seemed to bring about profound positive changes in those who applied CES devices regularly for several weeks.

Bob Beck brought many interesting devices to public attention. He strove to keep costs down so that the technology could get into the hands of those who needed it as an alternative to an unaffordable medical system which offered them little hope. Often the positive outcomes promised by conventional medicine came loaded down with side effects that made the original complaint seem preferrable.

Always practical and skeptical, he started his investigations by studying research done by reputable scientists. Once convinced that the evidence proved the existence of a beneficial effect on humans, he would find a simple way to reproduce the effects in the field. Presenting the devices as experimental in nature put the responsibility on the users to learn more about their unique situation and take an active role in recovery and personal growth.

Mental and emotional benefits

Some research suggests that these subtle energies may be linked to improved memory, creativity, learning, and intelligence. Using the Brain Tuner requires no special effort, training or discipline. Most individuals describe the experience as being one of focused deep relaxation, even when high emotional tension has been present. Following the normal 2 to 3 week application routine, many individuals experience significant positive changes in their lives and in their relationships with others. Many users experience a more positive, energetic outlook, better mental clarity and feelings of improved self-esteem. The many daily challenges of life seem easier to handle and negative reaction to environmental stress and tension are diminished. Many individuals have reported that previous negative habits and behavior patterns gradually diminish with time.

Cumulative beneficial effects in 1-3 weeks

The numerous benefits of BT-11 tend to be cumulative in nature and gradually reveal themselves over a period of 1 to 3 weeks. Change is spontaneous and effortless. Since 1985, thousands of individuals have discovered the BT-6 Pro relaxation system. Join them now and discover today's most powerful technology for positive change and well-being.

The Bio-Tuner information should not substitute for qualified medical advice. These devices have only experimental status and have not been evaluated by the US FDA.

Immediately after a CES treatment, people most often report a notable level of relaxation. Some feel somewhat inebriated for the first few minutes. It is a pleasant and very comfortable sensation. After several minutes to hours, the light-headed feelings usually disappear, the relaxed state remains and a profound sense of alertness is achieved.

This relaxed/alert state will usually remain for an average of 12 to 72 hours after the first few treatments and then becomes cumulative from a series of treatments. Most patients relate feeling more relax~d, less distressed, while their minds remain alert and even more focused on mental tasks. They generally sleep better and report improved concentration along with heightened states of general well-being.

Here's a schematic for one to build yourself. As always, Experiment at your own risk. All other disclaimers apply here.

Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES)

Help for ANXIETY

Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation has been used as a treatment for anxiety in several parts of the world for over a quarter of a century. American medicine has only recently begun to realize its use as a safe and effective treatment. Studies show that CES treatment yields highly significant reductions in anxiety, whether the patients were in a psychiatric setting, a scholastic setting, an outpatient setting, or an in-patient general hospital setting. Further, while many different kinds of anxiety have been studied, as measured by the six different psychological measuring instruments found in these studies, they all responded significantly to CES treatment. Less intense or less permanent forms of anxiety - the so-called "situational anxiety" in which a person habitually responds to personally threatening events in his environment with an anxiety reaction - respond to CES treatments within a week or less. The more permanent forms of anxiety - the so-called trait anxiety, or that underlying level of anxiety that a person typically carries with him at all times - require a longer period of CES treatment. This kind of anxiety typically is not reduced significantly in fewer than 2 or 3 weeks of daily treatments.

Help for DEPRESSION

Studies show that reactive depression (that which results from acute changes in the patients life situation such as a job change or divorce) is decreased after 6 days of CES treatment.

More deep seated depression (endogenous) in some cases required 3 or more weeks of daily treatment. For this reason, many physicians routinely prescribe a minimum of 2 weeks to a month of daily CES treatments in depressed patients, since it is frequently difficult to gauge the type or depth of depression with great accuracy. Since many patients have a "depression habit" physicians should include a home CES unit in their treatment plan so that the patient can meet any new sign of impending depression with effective treatment and thereby break the behavioral reinforcement chain that has both led to and maintained the habit. In this way, a maladaptive habit can be effectively controlled or broken without the use of frequent medications and/or repeated visits to the physician. Other research has shown that CES, when used this way is neither habit forming nor addictive. Such patients use it only when they experience an impending medical necessity.

Help for INSOMNIA

Because CES was originally called "Electrosleep" in European countries, many earlier American studies were designed to learn whether or not such small amounts of electric currents would actually put people to sleep. That is, just as 50ma of current - called "electro-anesthesia" - put an individual into anesthesia so that surgical procedures could be performed, 1ma of CES current was assumed to put them into a normal state of sleep if "Electrosleep" worked. Such studies discovered that while CES does not necessarily "put a person to sleep", it does accomplish some very therapeutic changes in the sleep patterns of people who complain of insomnia.

The studies below show that whether measured by the patient's own ratings, psychiatrists ratings or by electroencephalograph or polygraph recordings before and after CES treatments, the following effects of CES in insomnia can be expected:

• 1. Sleep onset latency is reduced. That is, once a person has retired for the evening, the amount of time it takes him to actually fall asleep is reduced from one to two hours or more to the more normal twenty minutes or less.

  2. The number of awakenings during the night are reduced. That is, while most insomniacs awaken three or more times during the night and have difficulty falling asleep again, those treated with CES typically awaken no more than once or twice following therapy, with most reporting no awakenings. Furthermore, after awakening, they return to sleep much more promptly than before.

  3. CES treated patients spend more time in stage four sleep following CES treatments. That is, patients spend more time in the deepest, most restful stage of sleep than they did prior to CES treatment. It should be noted that some patients who have deprived themselves of REM sleep - the stage during which dreaming occurs - by taking drugs or alcohol as a sleeping aid, sometimes spend the first two or three nights in unusually vivid dream states when first starting CES treatments. This is considered another indication of the therapeutic effectiveness of CES in that persons are known to become increasingly disorganized mentally, some even to the point of psychotic-like symptoms, when they do not engage in the normal amount of dreaming.

  4. Finally, it was discovered that many patients receiving CES treatments report feeling more rested when they awaken in the morning following CES treatments.

Treatment parameters: While some patients begin to respond after the second or third day of treatment, others do not have their best response with fewer than 24 days of treatments lasting from 15 minutes to 1 hour. The beneficial effects have been measured in some experimental groups for as long as two years. Some people with insomnia have a habitual pattern of responding to situational stress with an interruption in their sleep patterns. The best results are obtained when CES is used each time unusual stressors occur in their life situations that would ordinarily cause poor sleep. The CES device user is thereby trained over time to expect a good night's sleep no matter what stressful interruptions occurred in the normal flow of daily life.

Help for ADDICTIONS

Foremost among the treatment problems among chemically dependent persons is the need to help them through the psychologically and physically demanding period of withdrawal. The body reacts to the depressed physical state engendered by alcohol and other drugs with a rebound stress reaction. This reaction commonly includes states of extreme anxiety, depression, and insomnia, for which CES treatment is known to be effective.

Underlying the addictive state is an insidious and progressive destruction of normal brain functioning including an often incapacitating memory loss, inability to process information involving abstract symbols, and other dysfunctions associated with the organic brain syndrome, and advanced condition which is known as Korsakoff psychosis. Studies on the use of CES in chemical dependencies are among the best controlled and well designed research in the U.S. They indicate that CES is a highly effective adjunct to methadone withdrawal in heroin addicts, significantly shortening the time to symptom-free withdrawal when compared with methadone alone, and significantly lowering withdrawal anxiety as measured by the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale.

Further, the anxiety and depression accompanying and following withdrawal of both alcohol and other drugs in polydrug abusers is significantly reduced when patients receive CES as a post withdrawal treatment.

Most importantly, perhaps, is the finding that CES treatment halts and significantly reverses brain dysfunction in these patients as measured on seven different psychological scales of cognitive function, bringing many such functions back to the level of the pre-addiction state in the majority of patients studied. Another problem in the treatment of chemically dependent persons is frequently recurring "dry withdrawal" in which the individual suffers withdrawal symptoms within several weeks, then again in several months. The phrases used to describe these phenomena are a "dry drunk" followed by the "dry withdrawal".

These psychological states lead to high recidivism rates among these individuals as they return to treatment after "falling off the wagon". CES is now thought of as one of the most effective, non-drug treatments for these periods of withdrawal, and a patient who has a personal CES unit available should be able to use it to prevent a full-blown withdrawal reaction at such times. By doing so he can reduce the need for additional medical treatment in a clinic or hospital setting, and will be less likely to resort to alcohol because of the discomfort accompanying these withdrawal states.

Brain Tuner Instructions

Frequency of Usage

For severe problems use it 40 minutes twice daily. For less than severe problems use it 30-40 minutes once daily, then after a month you can use it 2 or 3 times a week. (It has cumulative effects.) More than 40 minutes usage in one sitting can have less productive results.

Selecting 6 hz Option

6 hz (cycles per second) enhances Theta brain waves which are normally experienced between sleep and full alertness. If you are stressed, anxious, hyper, or are preparing for bed then flip the switch upwards towards the 6 hz sticker. If you just woke up or want to be more alert then flip the switch down away from the 6 hz sticker.

Using Ear Clip Electrodes

Pull open both ear clips and wet thoroughly with saltwater. Wipe your ear lobes clean because dirt or oil can cause stinging sensations when using unit. Clip them onto your ear lobes before turning the unit on. The saltwater usually dries out after 45 minutes (and stops conducting electric current) which is good because then you don't have to watch the clock too closely. Turn unit off before handling electrodes to prevent electrical tingling of your fingers.

Setting Current Control Knob

Before turning unit on, turn the dial fully counterclockwise. Turn unit on, wait for any initial tingling to subside, and then slowly turn the dial clockwise until you get uncomfortable tingling and then turn it back counterclockwise into the comfort zone. The farther clockwise it is turned, the more electric current you're receiving (and the more the current LED will light up). Too much current can result in dizziness. When you first start using it you may have uncomfortable sensations even with it turned fully counterclockwise. This usually subsides quickly and then you can turn it up. If it don't subside then you can adjust the electronics to suit you by turning the unit off, removing the 4 bottom screws, pulling out the electronics board, and with a mini-screwdriver turn the center of the potentiometer marked "<-adjust" counterclockwise (while the unit is on and connected to you) until you are comfortable with the diminished sensation felt. This is a last resort though because too little current may result in less benefits.

Using AC Adapter

This unit is powered by an internal rechargeable battery that will need recharging when you can't feel any tingling with the control fully clockwise. To recharge the battery just turn the unit off and plug the AC adapter into the AC wall socket and into the power jack on the unit. It will automatically recharge like that. Let it recharge overnight or 14 hours for a maximum charge. Too much charging may shorten the batteries life span. Next morning it is ready to use for at least another 4 hours total. Don't connect the AC adapter to the unit except when recharging. If the unit ever gets to where it won't last long between charges then you can replace the internal 9v battery with Radio Shack's 9 volt rechargeable #23-299. Recharge after replacing battery.

Caring for Electrodes

Handle electrodes carefully so as not to bend the wires where they connect to the electrodes. If this connection ever breaks then you can remove the cloth and solder the wire back in place. If cloth gets too dirty then you can replace it by removing it, cutting a piece of 100% cloth the same size, and re-stitching it back in place.

Making Saltwater

Mix 3 tsp non-iodized sea salt or rock salt with 2 ounce distilled water. Stir and let sit for 3 hours. Store in a dark eyedropper bottle. Stir 1 drop of this salt solution into 4 oz distilled water and use to fill an eyedropper bottle for use on the electrodes.

Clinical research indicates that somewhere between 25% to 75% of human and animal subjects may exhibit marked psychophysiological sensitivity to extreme low frequency magnetic and electric fields. Brainwave entrainment can be demonstrated electroencephalographically when subjects are in the vicinity of oscillations in the frequency range of approximately 3 to 20 Hz at intensities of below 100 nanoteslas. (1 tesla = 104 gauss)

ELF fields of 6.67 Hz, 6.26 Hz and lower tend to produce symptoms of confusion, anxiety, depression, tension, fear, mild nausea and headaches, cholinergia, arthritic-like aches, insomnia, extended reaction times, hemispheric EEG desynchronization, and many other vegetative disturbances.

H and B field (magnetic vector) oscillations of 7.8, 8.O and 9 Hz produce anxiety-relieving and stress-reducing effects mimicking some "meditative" states. It has been speculated that frequencies in this range may be the universally permeating "clock frequencies" or carriers on which "mind" or "consciousness" states can be impressed and interact with other life-forms in the nebulous realms of ESP, psychotronics, distant healing, radiesthesia, and related paranormal but anecdotal phenomena.

Coherent ELF energies have the unique and interesting property of almost lossless propagation within the earth-ionosphere cavity waveguide, and attenuation of these signals due to distance from transmitter sites is negligible. Power losses are O.8 db per Mm (million meters) . The magnetic vectors, unlike electrical ( E-wave) components, permeate any substance and cannot be effectively shielded, even by iron, mu-metal, lead, copper, "Faraday cages", etc.

The established physics of radio propagation therefore suggests that vast geographical areas can be readily mood-manipulated by transmissions of EM energy within the earth-ionosphere cavity wave guide. The accidental discovery in 1938 of the "Luxembourg Effect", by which a transmitter of relatively low power, fed to an antenna array producing a circularly-polarized signal, can "piggy-back" to any preexisting RF energy source and produce disturbances of the ionosphere at any frequency desired (which then "modulates" all other energies within that "waveguide" is fully described in the literature of 40 years ago but probably forgotten or overlooked by today's technologists.

HISTORY AND BACKGROUND

My personal interest in EEG and consciousness dates to 1969 when I became fascinated with the (re)discoveries of Joe Kamiya and the conscious control of brainwaves via biofeedback. I developed sensitive and reliable monopolar instrumentation for this purpose under the Alpha-Metrics trademark.

In the course of traveling, lecturing, teaching classes and demonstrating this EEG equipment, and because one of my personal interests was in parapsychology and consciousness research, I had the unique opportunity (and reliable instrumentation at hand) to make electroencephalographic recordings of the brain wave patterns of a number of truly exceptional subjects in the U.S and Hawaii who were famous or who had demonstrated established reputations as psychics , healers , medicine-men , dowsers, etc.

Since I had a wealth of personal contacts in both the "scientific" establishment and "psychic underground" communities, I was fortunate for the opportunity of meeting and being allowed to wire up and instrument a cross-section of "sensitives" from vastly different disciplines, ranging from charismatic Christian faith healers, to an authentic Hawaiian Kahuna, to practitioners of Wicca, hex, Santaria, radiesthesia-radionics, seers, ESP "readers", psychics, etc., etc.

A striking number of these authentic "sensitives" exhibited a nearly identical EEG signature when reporting that they were in their "working" state of consciousness, a state persisting from one to several seconds intermittently during the "altered state of consciousness" phase of the paranormal activity. The signal appeared to be an almost pure sine-wave of up to 25 microvolts as read MONOPOLAR, frontal to occipital, midline; and 7.8 to 8.0 Hz in frequency; or on the "alpha-theta" borderline.

This serendipitous discovery was unexpected, in that although the subjects were practicing opposing disciplines, and coming from totally disparate teachings and viewpoints, and would barely acknowledge the existence or authenticity of practitioners outside of their belief system, they all appeared to be "marching to the sound of the same cosmic drummer" when in an altered state of consciousness.

After replicating this observation a number of times at sites thousands of miles apart, the obvious question arose that if these exceptional people, unbeknown to each other, were falling into the same "cosmic consciousness" mode, what or where was the signal to which their brain waves became entrained? What was the "drummer"? Is there a "clock" or "synchronizing" signal present?

In 1952, physicist W. O. Schumann postulated mathematically that our earth and ionosphere constituted a cavity wave guide whose physical constants and magnetic field would oscillate at a resonant frequency identical to the range of human brain waves. In 1962, our National Bureau of Standards division' of Radio Propagation reported the actual physical detection and instrumental recordings of these signals; and as predicted, tracings were indistinguishable from encephalographic recordings from human brain waves. This newly-discovered phenomenon was dubbed "earth brain wave".

Since there is a pronounced node in these "Schumann Resonances" at 7.8 - 8.O Hz, the question of possible EEG and ELF interconnectedness appears to be a irresistible area for investigation.

In 1973 a professional coil fabricator duplicated the "Schumann" pick-up described on page 313 in the Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards, Division of Radio Propagation, Vol 66D No.3 May-June 1962, and I perfected an extremely low noise, highly-filtered amplifier capable of recording and displaying the naturally-occurring magnetic oscillations surrounding our biosphere.

My intention was to re-contact as many of the "sensitive" subjects from my first study as feasible, and this time make simultaneous EEG and ELF records and compare the signals for frequency and phase coherency. This was done on a more limited scale than in the original phase of investigations. In a few instances, careful analysis revealed episodes of absolute entrainment during the brief seconds when sensitives reported being in their altered states of consciousness. Unexpected variables emerged, such as reliability factors dependent on lunar phases and time of day.

This study was extended to test the theory that if a very small percentage of subjects, by virtue of hereditary factors, or religious or metaphysical discipline, or meditative practices, had sensitized some portion of their minds or brains to act as an extremely sensitive " dual-conversion superheterodyne receiver"; would it be possible to remotely sense, amplify, and display this real-time "drummer" to less sensitive subjects whose heads were as unresponsive and un-selective as a crystal set, so that they too could mimic the highly organized "psychic" abilities of the trained "seer"?

Late in 1973, apparatus was built for pulsing a miniature lamp held in an empty eyeglass frame as a real-time photic stimulus that would cause an evoked potential in step with the ELF "cosmic drummer". This was moderately promising, but marginally successful because of the individually variable delay-llne (of about 100 milliseconds) between the onset of the stimulus and its response.

The next effort at inducing psychic awareness was to place a 9 ft. diameter coil of about 100 turns of #28 magnet wire on the floor of the laboratory, and expose subjects to the real-time magnetic replica of the highly-amplified "Schumann" signal sensed at a remote location to avoid feedback. Results with individuals and groups experiencing this "magic circle" were dramatically successful. The third generation investigations were extended to determine if subjects brainwaves could be influenced by artificially generated magnetic oscillations of sine-waves of low intensity and at specific frequencies within the ranges occurring naturally.

Some subjects exhibited absolute brainwave entrainment over the range of approximately 6 to 14 Hz and at signal strengths of approximately 100 nanoteslas. Onset of phase/frequency lock-on averaged from one second to four seconds from the time of switching on the artificial ELF generator, and would sometimes last for the duration of the stimulus, usually 10 second episodes.

One subject (Mr. A.P., aged 54) displayed absolute entrainment when he was placed inside a triple-shielded magnetic (iron) and triple electrostatic (copper) Faraday cage. The artificial ELF stimulus was originating from a pocket-sized battery powered device positioned outside the shielded room and 12 ft. removed from the subject. Tuning the device over a wide frequency range caused subjects EEG to exactly follow the stimulus.

After demonstrating the neurological responses of sensitive individuals, and doing preliminary mapping of subjective states as reported for various specific frequencies (defined to 1/100 Hz on a digital frequency counter attached to the ELF generator), experiments were undertaken on a broader scale with totally unaware subjects, such as customers at local coffee shops during rush hours. This obviated the variables of "suggestion", "expectancy" or "hypnosis".

Anecdotal data amassed suggesting that a pocket-sized transmitter at power levels of under 100 milliwatts could drastically alter the moods of unsuspecting persons, and that vast geographical areas could be surreptitiously mood manipulated by invisible and remote transmissions of EM energy. Tests were rapid:y abandoned after dramatic proof because of ethical considerations.

It is well known that naturally-occurring earth-ionosphere magnetic oscillations will vary slightly in frequency diurnally, monthly (full vs. new boon), and in definite cycles related to sunspot activity. This may well explain observable "full moon craziness".

Resonant frequencies are also affected by earth-venus-mercury-moon-Jupiter-sun gravity vectors. And there is well-documented correlation between these geophysical phenomena and episodes of political unrest, mood alteration, and health cycles; as supported by a vast technical and medical Literature. Our "Drummer"seems to affect all life-forms. An excellent reference source of widely unrelated phenomena dramatically tied to our earth's geomagnetic cycles is Peterson's Man. Weather. Sun. cited in the bibliography.

And by artificially amplifying or altering or distorting these geomagnetic fields, or transmitting specific and coherent frequencies, vast segments of earth's populations could be affected. This now becomes an attractive modality of psychological or psionic warfare; or intentional modification of moods that could reflect in areas ranging from time-specific insomnia to stock market fluctuations. (There have been recent epidemics of 4:00 to 5:30 AM "worry", insomnia coinciding with the 9 Hz "Schumann" drop-out as observed in journals of geomagnetic research.)

On several occasions within the last few years, our laboratory began detecting wavetrains in the ELF ranges that could not be of natural origin. These may or may not be related to recent Soviet transmissions of radio energy spread over broad segments of the frequency spectrum ranging up to 28 MHz. Danish monitoring stations report that peak powers of these signals are on the order of 40 megawatts. Transmitters are presumably located near Riga or Gomel. Transmissions have disrupted lawful radio communications throughout the world, and have been protested by many nations. The Soviets have not given an adequate explanation of the purpose of these tests. An early supposition assumed Soviet experiments with over-the horizon radar. Perhaps the psychoactive EM components are unexpected side-effects of this new technology.

Canadian Department of Transport monitoring sources have established that spectrum analysis of these strange signals appear to be higher harmonics of a fundamental frequency of 6.67 Hz. (The Tesla fo) . The signals are modulated with pulses with repetition rates of 5 to 15 pulses per second, usually 10 Hz.

Besides modifying the electrical, ionic, and stratospheric jet stream equilibrium weather-motion factors, the signals fall precisely within the windows known to be psychoactive.

The Canadians report alarming mood-alterations in certain areas of Eastern Canada, such as near Timmins and Kirkland Lake, Ontario, which observers believe are linked to Soviet transmissions.

Since both theory and laboratory tests prove that magnetic (H-wave) shielding is impossible at these psycho-active frequencies, even with highly sophisticated multiple iron or mu-metal shielding, it can be speculated that ELF signals can be a powerful potential weapon with global capabilities in psycho-physiological warfare. (The wavelength of an 8 Hz signal is 22,159 miles).

I feel that tests should be undertaken with a number of remote ELF sensors that can be made directional in order to establish by triangulation the sources of these recently detected manmade disturbances, whether originating from offshore or domestically. ELF data should be correlated with data monitored from Soviet transmissions that can be detected on commercial short-wave receivers. These two modalities can be in turn correlated with human or animal EEG recordings. (Note: this was done 5/25/78 with positive correlations; R.C.B.)

ELF as a modality for mood-manipulation is a demonstrated reality. And there is a strong possibility that it has been implemented since 1975 by the Soviets, intentionally or accidentally as an unpredicted side effect of local standing waves or re-radiation of power lines.

This speculation is being explored currently by a network of independent scientists working in the disciplines of psychophysiology, geophysics. radio propagation, pharmacology, physics, electronics, and psychotherapy.

A bibliography of pertinent medical and technical articles and books is attached to this report.

Possible countermeasure proposals embrace psychopharmacology, adaptive desensitization, and the utilization of personal low-powered (milliwatt) magnetic oscillators which by the law of inverse-square will override hostile signals, man made or natural, with beneficial frequencies.

An interesting device of this nature with possible "countermeasure" capabilities is the "Vitasette" instrument designed by W. Ludwlg for limited distribution and testing in West Germany. One model of this device is the size of a cigarette lighter and has a claimed battery life of two years. Frequencies are user programmable over the range of 1.25 to 19 Hz by activating specific combinations of switches. This " transmitter" generates spike-wave pulses when a mu-metal core of extremely high permeability is driven to beyond saturation with a single transistor and coil.

Effective range is claimed to be about one meter. This is sufficient to insure proper synchronization of the wearer 's biological clocks" , circadian rhythms, and possible coherency of left and right hemisphere neuronal firings. Ludwig claims cures for a broad spectrum of vegetative disturbances

Similar to the characteristics of a frequency-modulation discriminator (Foster-Seeley) the brain cells appear to "latch" to the highest amplitude pulses in their proximity, and unlike "A.M." detectors, will reject background noise and pulses of lower intensity. The analogy would be that a small transistor radio held up to a listener's ear would drown out a nearby rock-muslc band with thousands of watts of audio amplification. Similarly, a milliwatt device worn on the body could override a hostile transmission of megawatt power at a distance.

While almost everyone is familiar with electronic "heart pacers" capable of insuring proper heart rhythms, few are aware of recent research establishing that brainwaves and other biological functions can be influenced at great distances by magnetic pulses of critical frequencies.

There is promise that such devices, when tuned to highly specific "beneficial" rates, could be of value in stress-modification, tension and anxiety relief, dyslexia; psychotherapy, insomnia, "confusion" states if caused by left and right hemisphere desynchronization, headaches, sexual dysfunction, and many other conditions. However, much like the initial application of atomic energy, the first large-scale implementations of ELF discoveries appear to be destructive.

I invite other interested investigators to replicate and verify my observations.

A brief disclosure of my procedures follows.

A human subject, selected for sensitivity, is wired to a battery-powered, totally isolated EEG amplifier. The output is recorded on one or more channels of chart, or (preferably) fed as an FM/VCO to channel(s) of magnetic tape. Monopolar electrodes were frontal to occipital, midline.

Simultaneously, but with electrical or optical isolation sufficient to eliminate cross-talk, the output of a magnetic-signal detector (Schumann coil) is chartrecorded or fed to its separate magnetic tape channel.

The "Schumann" coils typically consist of 50,000 to 250,000 turns of #38 magnet wire wound on a ferrite, soft-iron, or mu-metal core. Coil axis is oriented to magnetic N-5 and connected to a separate amplifier having a bandpass of 2-40 Hz, a noise figure capable of seeing O.1 micro-volt rms at 10 k ohms, and 100 db. or better rejection of frequencies of 60 Hz and higher.

With proper subjects, phase and frequency EEG "lock-ons" can be easily observed by inspecting the chart recordings, or if measurements are made in the field, by later observation of the magnetic tape records after signal recovery on paper charts or dual-trace storage scopes (Tektronlx 214).

My initial transmitter of ELF signals consisted of a phase-shift, pure sine-wave oscillator whose output was fed to a 10 Hy soft iron core inductance of 1200 ohm dc resistance. Power level was 9 volts at O.7 ma, or 6.3 milliwatts. This device could cause EEG modification and mood alteratlon in subjects at up to 10 ft. A higher power device constructed in 1973 provided greater effective range, as was expected. Highly specific modulating and carrier frequencies must obviously be withheld for fear of potential mis-use, as are "keyhole" and waveform data, also details of the multiple-source devices producing " soliton" ELF magnetic standing waves.

My investigations began in 1970 . Early research In consciousness-modification by external non-chemical stimulus was undertaken in the following areas.

Photic stimulation of the subjects by miniature lamps, both cold-cathode (phosphors) and filament, and "strobe". These light sources were either driven by oscillators or by the subject's amplified brainwaves in real time and later) with delayed and phase-modified pulses to "pump" EEG's.

Exposure of subjects to voltage-gradient oscillating fields, and electrostatic (modulated) fields.

Exposure of subjects to pulse-modulated negative ion generators, typically (-)20 kv dc sources of corona discharge modulated by mechanically rotating screen-shields or by carefully adjusted spark gaps that would arc over and short the output at frequencies centering on the 8 Hz. range.

Exposure of subjects to actinic stimulus of nearly monochromatic red-green-blue pulses of light through a fiber-optic display device, held close to the left or right eye. Phase and frequency of each channel was selectively varied in efforts to excite red-green-blue rod and cone receptors independently and evoke "standing wave" potentials in specific sites of the occipital cortex. By selective excitation of both eyes with delayed pulses, evoked "standing waves" occurred.

Audible " click" stimulus was explored, as were infrasonics , ultrasonics (28 k Hz) and phase-shifted sound fed to left and right ears. Audio-modulated 100 kHz electrostatic fields were tested.

In two series of tests, the amplified, filtered, and clipped ( about 200 mv) real-time "Schumann" signals were fed directly to the head via surface electrodes. This approach was dramatically psychoactive, and abandoned in 1974 as dangerous aftersubjects experienced "LSD" type visions.

At this time, we prefer SINUSOIDAL (not pulsed, triangular, square, saw-toothed, etc.) waveforms. Fundamental frequencies are psychoactive, but can be enhanced by audio-modulating them onto compound carrier frequencies, hetrodyning multiple sources, generating "soliton" waves; etc.

We feel that much data has been overlooked by other researchers not specifying the precise frequencies under investigation to accuracies of .01 to .001 Hz. There is evidence that long-chain molecules near liquid-crystal boundaries may simulate coherent dipole arrays with very high Qs. Biological signals are after all at the opposite end of the electromagnetic spectrum where communications frequencies in the VHF and UHF bands are specified to .005% and better.

These investigations have been undertaken privately as a personal interest by the author. They have been totally funded by myself, and are in no way connected with any outside interests, either governmental or commercial.

Results have been reported on an informal basis via limited personal communications with other interested parties. Highly specific frequency and advanced waveform data are proprietary.

Precise technical details on low-noise biological and geomagnetic amplifiers, filters, Schumann detector coils (now into our forth-generation devices), practical and inexpensive voltage-controlled oscillator and F.M. discriminator circuits for cassette tape recording of ELF and EEG signals and data, practical and inexpensive modifications to digital frequency counters extending their ranges to 1/100 Hz, suggestions for recording and displaying and analyzing these signals, etc., etc., can be made available to other serious and informed research workers who have a responsible interest in this subject. We feel it wise to withhold only the data on hemispheric desynchronization frequencies.

The instruments and hardware used in this study can be made available for inspection and evaluation.

Emphasis in this report on ELF magnetic phenomena rather than details of results of related psychoactive modalities is based on the conclusion that the physics and propagation characteristics make this the most viable choice of technically feasible global mood manipulation.
