NOTES ON FIELD MODULATION:
REPORTS ON TESLA COILS AND OTHER DEVICES
(c)1991 by Michael Riversong
Bioactive electrical fields are an intriguing study. This is a brief survey of personal experiences with several devices that seem to create relatively consistent phenomena that could be useful in healing and self-improvement work.
VIOLET RAY
This controversial device is again available to the general public, after falling out of favor in the 1930's. John Candea, an acupuncturist, has been selling these for several years now, and actually does some final assembly work at his office. He has related several instances of improvement in patients using the devices.
A Violet Ray is simply a small Tesla coil with a glass electrode at one end. It puts out high-frequency electricity, which, according to Candea, can penetrate under the layer of fat cells in the skin. This electricity apparently stimulates the immune system in many cases. It also has proven effective in some cases of tendon or muscle strain, imparting relief to the affected areas.
We have been using one around our house for about three years now. We use it occasionally on ourselves, often just to feel a little more energetic. Whenever there is a muscle or tendon strain present, we use it, and we've noted that the problems seem to clear up faster for us than for people who don't use the device. Sometimes, we have used it on guests at our house who were suffering from a variety of aches and pains, and they generally report noticeable improvement the next day.
The most dramatic instances of effectiveness have been with our dog. Once, a cyst under his skin disappeared after three treatments spread over five days. Often, when our 11-year old dog has spent a day playing too hard, he will be obviously stiff the next day. We then apply the electrode to his back for less than thirty seconds, and within an hour the stiffness always disappears.
The Violet Ray should not be used on broken skin, or anywhere there's a steel plate under the skin. Also, caution needs to be exercised around clothes with metal parts, such as zippers, corsets, or bras. Normally, it is best to place the electrode on the skin and then turn on the current. Some new users leave the current on and move the electrode on and off the skin, which can produce small radio burns. This technique should therefore be used sparingly, and with great caution. As a general rule, if the overall effect is uncomfortable, discontinue use immediately!
An interesting "energizing" technique which Kelly Candea showed us is to cup one hand around the electrode while massaging another person's head. The person being massaged usually reports an extremely pleasant sensation.
LARGE TESLA COILS
Some of the experimenters who build and consistently work with demonstration coils have reported that, the more they are around the active units, the less sleep they need. Often, a generally high level of personal energy is reported, compared to times in the lives of the technicians when these coils were not being used in their presence. In this context, the extraordinary longevity and personal health of Nikola Tesla himself should be noted. He lived into his 80's, and Ralph Berkstresser has reported that the man was in perfect health right up to the last day of his life.
On two occasions, I have taken a 60-hz filtered gaussmeter to the Tesla Museum and measured fields around the Tesla coil when it is operating. Both times, a consistent fluctuation of readings was noted. This is significant, because it indicates there are several unseen phenomena occurring while the coil is operating. The gaussmeter used is a highly filtered model made by Integrity Electronics of Buffalo, NY. It is designed to detect only magnetic fields emanating from 60-hz AC lines, and to reject all other fields. Normally, the meter is used to map powerline and equipment magnetic fields that may cause health problems in homes and offices. All readings are in milligauss units (mg). Many European researchers have agreed that any level above 2.5 mg is probably bioactive.
On both occasions, the baseline reading was normal for the room where the coil resides, with ackground fields at about .01 .03 mg. When the coil was on, fields fluctuated in a regular pattern from 1.0 - 43 mg. This pattern seemed to be precisely timed in its rise and fall, although specific time measurements have not yet been made. Most startling was the fact that, after the coil was turned off, a field reading of 22 mg was detected around a jar of salt water used in another demonstration, when no current was connected! A jar of plain salt water holding an AC magnetic field under these conditions is an unexpected phenomenon, and deserves more study.
Currently, my own hypothesis is that the magnetic fields emanating from operating Tesla coils are forming some kind of spiral or helical pattern in time and space. The patterns, because of their geometric shape, could be part of what causes bioactivity associated with these devices. Of course, this all will be looked at more closely. We plan to use a "geomagnetic" gaussmeter, which is essentially unfiltered in terms of frequency, and make further measurements under the same conditions.
COHERENCE TECHNOLOGY
This new, controversial technology seems to create some bioactivity. Occasionally, people using these units have been known to report dramatic health benefits. The units are common digital clocks which have been retrofitted with special proprietary circuitry. According to the manufacturer, the devices detect the power service entrance, and then modify all electrical current within the house. These modifications are said to consist of "smoothing out" spikes and noise present in the circuits, which are often induced in transmission lines before entering a building.
Our unit has been tested in two houses. In my own house, which contains a rudimentary recording studio, some terribly irritating radio station interferences were immediately eliminated when the unit was plugged in. This was certainly dramatic, as I had been completely unable to use one piece of recording equipment while plugged into AC power because of the interference. In the other house, which contains a full professional recording studio, the unit seemed to eliminate some distortion, but the engineer found it difficult to attribute the effect specifically to the unit, because several other filtering devices were added at about the same time.
Gaussmeter measurements were interesting. Without the Coherence unit, there was a small amount of normal fluctuation at light switches. After the unit was plugged in, the fluctuation seemed to pulse at a regular rate, and there was a sharper difference in readings as the switch was turned on and off. This indicates that the unit was somehow imparting a magnetic field regulation similar to that of an operating Tesla coil.
RIFE FREQUENCY GENERATOR
Several models of these are available to those who want to experiment. Details on the origin and nature of these units are available elsewhere, but in this article it is appropriate to mention one healing experience with a unit. The device used in this instance put a patient through a series of five calibrated electrical frequencies over a period of about 40 minutes. The frequencies were derived from Royal Rife's original work, and apparently have quite a leveraging effect. The patient's feet are placed in two tubs of water with epsom salts added. There is a metal plate at the bottom of each tub, and the electricity is applied through those.
In March, 1986, I had sustained a small compression fracture on my left foot while working. The podiatrist had me wrap a small bandage around the foot, and there was little else that could be done other than restricting activity. He estimated healing would take about six to eight weeks. The next weekend, I visited a friend who owned a Rife unit. He placed me on the unit for two treatments over the course of the weekend. Pain ceased immediately after the treatment, and there was no sign of the fracture three weeks later. The podiatrist noted that healing was especially quick. I mentioned the treatment with the Rife generator to him, and he concurred that it was certainly possible it could have had a positive effect.
At the moment, several groups are making Rife frequency generators, and there is some controversy as to which units are better. Klark Kent's unit is somewhat more flexible than most, and his company is quite accessible. Therefore, we're including their address as a resource for these generators, and regret that addresses of other manufacturers were not immediately available as this article was being developed.
CONCLUSION
In looking at the possibility of coherent bioactivity associated with Tesla technology, we have a wide range of study. This short survey has not covered several other important classes of devices, including Schumann-resonance generators, Lakhovsky Multi-Wave Oscillators, and radionics machines. All of these may also wholly or partially derive their effects from electromagnetic field fluctuation patterns. These patterns need to be analyzed geometrically, preferably using the disciplines collected in Buckminster Fuller's Synergetics books. We may find that the geometry of these patterns is significant, especially if they form spirals, tetrahedrons, or dodecahedrons, which are universal structures detected in astrophysical and biological processes.
