Cure diseases and more with electricity? Has anyone seen this yet?

Microcontrollers are not a problem for me as I have done some work in the past with both PIC and AVR and can figure out most things pretty fast. C is my weapon of choice as my uC ASM is a bit rusty these days...

Though everyone seems to be eager to redesign old things, new Beck circuit etc. Why fix something that's not broken I ask?

I personally believe that we need to focus on something else. We can use the existing circuits as they are, but we need to develop ways of determining whether these (existing or new) circuits actually DO something or not in the body (and how beneficial they are). THAT is more (if not most) important, in my humble opinion, than using Arduino or making a new Beck pulser.

Yes, I know that sounds "so boring" compared to building a fancy new uC driven PWM circuit with some kind of feedback and other goodies, but what's it good to us if there's no way of knowing which frequency works or whether the polarity should be alternated, should the design be based on electromagentics (transverse waves) or magnetodialectrics (longitudinal waves) and so on.

Matter a fact a new design could be causing harm without us even knowing, and that is a major consideration to have in mind.

Wouldn't micro controllers also help with that? The old beck pulser used 7 batteries, this is quite extreme considering you need about 30V-40V and 50-100 uA. So I see no problem in redesigning it for single battery use and low component cost. The proposed adruino platform is very simple to get running and modified.

I also totally agree with the experimentation, why there is hardly anything about this is puzzling. How about buying a "decent" usb digital microscope to monitor these things. One could grow controlled bacteria, fungi or parasites and apply these things on them to see what happens with the growth and what not. There was a recent local deal here for a decent looking microscope here:

I'm not microscope guy but the people who bought it and posted online said it was pretty good. Even if its basic it's miles away from poking in the dark.

What is your take on this?

Ironhead,  can your PDF show how to use the Audrino and "hook" up the coil to make things work?  I am a beginner at electronics, so I ask that directions be very simple and easy to follow for us beginners, like "hook the blue wire to xxx".  Picture directions also work great for me, as I am a visual learner.

Thanks,

Mark

Also, I think when one starts offering kits for a "low" price, people will lose interest as they will think someone is out to make a buck.  Just my opinion.

[IronHead]

Yup, it is very easy to. Fact is I should do that part first as  part one.  You wont need electronic experience with this setup.

Also , some people are talking about straight DC and pulsed DC .

You must flip flop the DC positive to negative and back so that you do not cause electro plating in the blood.  This is very very important. 
Becks Formula is  4hz 50% duty cycle square polarity flipped every 1hz cycle for 7 minutes on and 7 minutes off repeating
