R.I.P. Lee Crock

Crowclaw.
I thought it was only me. I too noticed that the effects wore off. I used mine for about 6 months. The effects seemed to wear down gradually. I think I really noticed it after about 3-4 months of use. I never did check the batteries which may be why.

Thank you @crowclaw

I had the idea of only using the 555 output connected to the mesh or box spring.
The 555 timer output pin is once negative and then positive by nature.

To test it use two leds on the 555 output. One connected to the negative and the other connected to the positive. But both connected to the 555 output pin.

They will light one when the output is positive and the other when is negative. Polarity is very important here. Also the LED resistors.

Yes give it a try, I read somewhere that the reason so many batteries where used was to provide an extremely low DC impedance path!  My first version uses 10 batteries "D" cells as original Lee Crock. I have another version using "AA" cells in a 4.5v pack. Not as yet put this into use. Anybody have any ideas as to why the benefits diminish in time?... does the body adjust to the switching times over a period of use! _ this was the reason my latest design has three switching periods. Not yet completed for trial.

Mag...you would have received that same directive from me, had you simply asked, instead of making a conclusive comment regarding blood electrolysis.

Just ask and it shall be given.


Lee made a point that rubber blocks the pos/neg field of the EC...the mem foam may be inhibiting the field.

Is there a way to test the mem foam in this regard ?

I find that my body starts to return to its stiff muscle/achy joints condition if I am away from it for a while.

I've been using it since 2004.

Not clear on reversing pads!... did you mean polarity, or the pads? only use one pad over the mattress. Good point about the foam, I must check that, as it's over the top of the foil screen!
