This excerpt from my book "Parasite Zapping and the Zapper [http://paradevices.com
/ZapperBook.html] " is presented as a basic history and is in no way complete. That
would be quite a large book in itself.
The use of electricity for healing goes nearly back to the first re-discoveries of the
nature of electricity itself in the mid-1700's.
Although electricity was somewhat known and used 4000 to 5000 years ago, there
is little mention of it from early history up to its re-discovery in the 1600's.
The ancient Egyptians may have utilized low voltage devices as far back as 2000
B.C. There are Hieroglyphs that show the ancient Egyptians holding what were long
described as scrolls of papyrus but these may have actually been metal cylinders
as remnants of these have been found in tombs. Holding these dissimilar metal
cylinders in the hands could turn the body into a battery, producing a slight voltage
differential across the body. These have been referred to as the Rods of Ra or the
Horns of Horus.
Around 600 BC, the Ancient Greeks discovered that rubbing fur on amber
(fossilized tree resin) could cause an attraction between the two – and so what the
Greeks discovered was actually static electricity.

Remnants have been found of ancient electric batteries known as the Baghdad
Battery that originated sometime between 250 B.C. and 225 A.D. but some other
believe that they may have existed long before that. Some believe that these were
used for electro-plating but others feel that they may have been tried for healing
purposes.

Romans and ancient Greeks had used animal electricity (electric ray) for medical
treatment during Biblical times. As far back as 63 A.D., doctors were able to treat
migraines and even epilepsy using electro-therapy.
The modern history of medical electricity begins with the inventions of the first
practical static generator in 1742 and the Leyden jar for storing electricity in 1745.
Doctors of the day electrified patients with static electricity or gave them strong
shocks. This produced some promising results, but the technology was incomplete.
While Benjamin Franklin is often referred to as the Father of Electricity, his “kite-
lightning experiment” did not take place until 1752. By then, the use of electricity as
a healing aid had already been well established in England.
Richard Lovett, after years of practice, published the first English textbook on
medical electricity in 1756, which soon became essential reading for any electrical
healer.
Shortly following, John Reddall, who asked Richard Lovett for advice for planning
a course of lectures on medical electricity. Reddall’s London lectures were so
popular that they attracted more than a hundred people a day.
At that time, medical help was mostly available to the wealthy and to the privileged.
For that reason, the practitioners of electrical healing worked hard to make
electrical healing so cheap as to be affordable to the poor and lower classes.
This was one of the main concerns of John Read, who had been a patient of John
Wesley. He realized the importance of making the apparatus portable and less
expensive, so he trained himself by attending some of Lovett’s demonstrations.
Read’s electrical machine soon became a standard instrument and was
acknowledged by Joseph Priestley as practical for medical purposes.

In 1760, John Wesley published “The Desideratum, or Electricity Made Plain and
Useful”. Previously, In 1747 he published “Primitive Physick, or an Easy and Natural
Way of Curing Most Diseases”, which was a very successful pamphlet addressed
to the lay public that contained a list of over nine hundred recipes for medical
remedies and practical directions on how to cure a large number of disorders.
Also, in 1746, Wesley opened several dispensaries both in London and in Bristol to
provide free and inexpensive services to the poor and needy. Ten years later as he
developed interest in electric healing, he also began to offer free electrical
treatments.
During this period, there was also great philosophical struggle concerning the use
of electricity. The electrician Tiberius Cavallo lamented that electrical therapy was
not as effective as it might have been due to insufficient knowledge and
understanding of the medical practitioners who employed it. Paola Bertucci has
shown in a stimulating thesis on medical electricity, Cavallo obtained much of his
medical knowledge from close medical friends such as the physician James Lind
and the surgeon Miles Partington.
n 1780, Luigi Galvani, an Italian surgeon, observes the effect of electrical current
on animal tissue and with subsequent experimentation produces a paper in 1791
entitled “The Effects of Artificial Electricity on Muscular Motion”.

basis for the discovery of radio waves, X-rays and the electron microscope.
Michael Faraday’s experiments also opened the door to alternating current. AC
current was only a curiosity at first, and then it was adopted for the power
transmission grid, mostly due to the work of Nicola Tesla.
Rev. Nicholas Callan invented the induction coil which later led to the transformer.
Published “On A New Galvanic Battery” 23 August 1836. This laid the ground for
Faradic devices and the Medical Electric Battery which was developed later.
Subsequent work by R.W. Lente in 1850 further recognized the potential for
electricity to heal bone, when he presented a series of case reports describing
electricity’s effect on fracture non-unions and pseudoarthroses.
In 1853, the British journal, Medical Times and Gazette, published an article,
“Galvanism to the Un-united Fracture”, that described the use of electrically
charged needles inserted into a fracture site to cause healing.
In 1872, Dr. A.D. Rockwell, who later contributed to the development of the
electric chair, requested to read a paper on recent research in therapeutics, before
the New York Medical Society, but was turned down because electricity was
considered to be the domain of crooks. By 1890, five medical schools in New York
were teaching courses in electricity. There was a great wave of interest in using
electricity for medical treatment, which lasted until the 1930's.

It was about this time, in the 1870's that galvanic and Faradic devices started to
become popular. The Electro Magneto Machine was patented by Thomas Hall in
1859 and was one of the earliest machines of its type, although there were many
different versions manufactured by a number of companies.
McIntosh Galvanic and Faradic Battery, established 1879, pictures show a large
building with a large number of production workers. They manufactured a wide
range of Faradic machines and even had electrodes for “Tub Zapping”, as well for
almost every part of the human anatomy.
High-frequency alternating currents arrived in the 1890s with the suggestion that
they would be valuable in medicine.

In 1892, Nicolas Tesla presented lectures across Europe and met with Paul Oudin
in Paris where they discussed ways of building electro-therapeutic devices. Paul
Oudin built the first “violet ray” and wrote an article on using it to cure skin
disorders the next year.
Tesla published a paper in 1898 that he read at the eighth annual meeting of the
American Electro-Therapeutic Association, entitled, "High Frequency Oscillators for
Electro-Therapeutic and Other Purposes."
The name “violet ray” occurs for the first time in 1913 in a dental journal. Paul
Oudin began to experiment with skin disorders and found that acne, eczema and
psoriasis were easily treated with the new device. After a few treatments the skin
patches would begin to break up and disappear completely in two to three months.
When the devices were used to spark warts or skin cancer, the anomalies often

The violet ray often took away pain, and many times it was almost considered a
miracle. It was valuable in dealing with arthritis and was often considered a miracle
in rheumatoid arthritis.
The era of electrical healing lasted from the early 1890s to some time after 1910. A
conspiracy to limit and eliminate competition from non-drug therapies began with
the Flexner Report of 1910 when Abraham Flexner was engaged by John D.
Rockefeller to evaluate the effectiveness of therapies taught in medical schools.
Anything that used electricity was quickly labeled as quack practice.
However, by 1916, inexpensive violet ray units were being sold in drugstores under
this name, along with products such as the Voltamp Medical Electric Battery. The
Medical Electric Battery was basically, an early form of zapper. A dozen companies
manufactured the violet ray tubes in the United States and several other countries.
Drugstores had front window displays of violet rays. Hundreds of thousands of violet rays were sold and
used, with few reported problems. These products were extremely popular from the
1890's to the 1930's, being found in many catalogs such as Montgomery Wards
and the Sears Roebuck Company.
When they became popular with the public, doctors and the FDA started to despise
them. At first the Journal of the American Medical Association published promising
therapeutic results in articles. Then it printed an article about a man who
deliberately short-circuited his violet ray and electrocuted himself. This implied that
the device was dangerous and should be outlawed. This is actually typical of the
actions taken when the medical industry wants a competing product removed.
They did the same thing with a man who used a Hulda Clark zapper when his
pacemaker failed. It was not a flaw of the zapper but was instead poor design of
the pacemaker. They also did a similar action with a person in Australia who was
actually improving by using a zapper but stopped and later died. They called it a
Rife machine, which it was not in any way. This is the normal pattern of denigration
used against products that the AMA, FDA, and much of the medical industry do not
want people to find.
The violet ray in healing would have been almost totally forgotten, except for one

man. Around 1900, Edgar Cayce, at the age of 24, lost his voice for months and
doctors were unable to help him. His recovery under hypnosis is a tribute to the
power of suggestion. While he did not use it for his healing in this case, he did
recommend the use of the violet ray in over 800 readings.
The violet ray and the Faradic Battery are both grandfathered devices, meaning
that it was produced before 1976. According to Congressional law, grandfathered
devices are generally presumed to be safe and not subject to federal regulation. In
spite of this, the FDA ignores this and has threatened legal action against the
companies that produce them and the people who use them.
On Sept. 13 to Sept. 15, 1898, Tesla also gave a lecture titled “High Frequency
Oscillators for Electro-Therapeutic and Other Purposes.” where he introduced the
MWO or multi wave oscillator.

Lakhovsky
Georges Lakhovsky was a Russian who lived in Paris in the 1920's who compiled
his observations about the effect of electricity and radio waves on living organisms
in "Curing Cancer with Ultra Radio Frequencies" in Radio News, which he first
published in 1925.Lakhovsky also built a device he called a Multiple Wave
Oscillator that was based on Tesla's unit. The purpose of this device, a very short-
range high voltage transmitter that broadcast a multiplicity of frequencies at once,
was to induce currents and voltages of very high frequency into living organisms for
the treatment of disease. At least, that’s what it was supposed to do. Lakhovsky’s
first units simply didn’t work.
Frustrated by the issues, Lakhovsky asked Nikola Tesla for help. Tesla went to Paris
that year and reworked the circuitry in Lakhovsky’s oscillator. Basically turning it
into a Tesla Multi-Wave Oscillator. Tesla believed that, his high-potential, high-
frequency currents could be passed into the body harmlessly, “these currents
might lend themselves to electro-therapeutic uses.” Tesla as a result of being
struck by a Taxi, experimented upon himself, went to his hotel room where, with the

help of his own electro-therapy, he recovered from his injuries. Tesla never patented
any electro-therapy devices but did publish his observations in technical journals,
and several years later he gave a speech to the American Electro-Therapeutic
Association in which he details with drawings the high-frequency apparatus he
invented for this purpose, which included a Tesla coil. Tesla’s suggestions were
taken up in earnest by George Lakhovsky, who perceived that the twisted-filament,
coil-like structures within all living cells constitute ultra-microscopic circuits
“capable of oscillating electrically over a wide scale of very short
wavelengths.”Lakhovsky’s apparatus evolved from Tesla’s. “These circuits,”
Lakhovsky wrote, “are stimulated by damped high-frequency currents from a spark
gap. Thus each circuit of the transmitter vibrates not only on its natural frequency,
but also on numerous MWO harmonics.” The frequencies of his oscillator’s basic
vibrations ranged from 750 kilocycles all the way up to 3 gigacycles!
It was reported that Georges Lakhovsky had a 98% success rate in treating fatal
cancers over an 11-year period.
For those who are interested in further research, a great collection of electrical
healing devices can be found in the Bakken Museum of Minneapolis. Also, the

In 1924, Morris Fishbein became the head of both the AMA and the JAMA. His
rose to power by labeling natural healers, Native American healers, and American
midwives of the time as all being “quacks,” empowering the chemical medicine
industry that was to become the allopathic medicine that we know today. Doctors
were reported to be coerced into joining the AMA for fear of losing their license.
During his reign, Doctors who used or suggested natural cures were removed from
their practices, had their licenses removed, their medical files destroyed, and some
were never heard from again. Many encouraging cancer treatments were buried or
denigrated. He also made sure nobody knew who Royal Rife was, and that nobody
could buy the Rife frequency machine, a holistic treatment for cancer and infectious
diseases. Even today, the FDA seeks to destroy the remaining original Rife
machines. Also, he tried to bury the Hoxsey cancer cures, treatments that cured
several forms of cancer, that had no destructive side effects. State medical boards
regularly closed free clinics where terminal cancer patients were being saved by
natural remedies.
Today, prescription drugs alone are responsible for at least 100,000 deaths of
Americans each year, and the AMA seal still carries with it the same weight and
significance.

Dr. Rife was using his machines back in the early 1920's as the following shows.
"In January 1920 experiments were started at the Rife Research Laboratory by
Commander Royal R. Rife U.S.N. Ret. to determine the effect of electrical
influences upon pathogenic microorganisms. Tests were made for anode and
cathode polarity influences and the effect of infrared, ultraviolet and X-ray. During
these experiments the idea was conceived of the possibility of devitalizing the
pathogenic micro-organisms by electrical frequencies of varying wavelengths. The
initial apparatus (Rife Ray #1) for the tests along this line of experiments was
constructed and used in prolonged experiments during 1921 and 1922, with results
that warranted the belief that the principles involved contained possibilities."
From: http://rifevideos.com
/chapter_6_dr_rifes_1920_to_1922_rife_ray_1_rife_machine.html
There were numerous test performed to determine the MOR ( mortal oscillatory rate
or frequency ) of many microbes. It was found that after blasting those microbes
with the right frequency, the microbes would become lifeless and could not
reproduce.
There are also a number of associates who worked with Royal Rife over the years,
including Dr. Milbank Johnson, M.D., John Crane, John Marsh, Dr. James B.
Couche, M.D., Dr. Lara, M.D., Dr. Robert P. Stafford, M.D., and others.

Dr. Becker performed some of the most serious scientific studies on the causes
and effects of electrical function in biological organisms. After publishing a number
of studies in various journals, he wrote and published two books on the subject and
his studies. The first is “Body Electric” and the Second was “Cross Currents”. Both
are highly recommended reading to anyone with an interest in electro-biology or
electro-medicine.
Antoine Prioré
During the 1960's and 1970's, in France, Antoine Prioré built and tested
electromagnetic healing machines of notable effectiveness. Prioré's machine, a
multiwave machine that produced a carrier in the GigaHertz range, cured a wide
variety of the most difficult kinds of terminal, fatal diseases known today.
He was funded by millions of dollars through French government sources. and his
machines demonstrated a nearly 100% cure of all kinds of terminal cancers and
leukemias, in laboratory tests with animals.

her books that followed were quite popular.

The titles were bold and gained a lot of attention and drew the wrath of the medical
industry. The odd thing is that there were many criticisms placed by people who
never bother to read the books.
At the very minimum, her books gave hope to many with terminal illness and in
actuality, many had exceptional recoveries. There were some cases that did not
have the best results and there may have been some significant reasons for it.

In the 1990's Dr. Bob Beck developed a protocol that included a zapper that was
different from Dr. Hulda Clark. The Beck Zapper produced a stronger voltage
output than the Clark zapper and had a lower frequency of only about 4.0 Hz. It
was actually supposed to be 3.9 Hz which was half of the Schumann Earth
Resonance. However, the Beck Zapper or Bob Beck Blood Electrifier ( BBBE ) was
not fully effective on its own as it was intended only to zap the Blood. The Beck
protocol required a magnetic pulser to stimulate the Lymph system, and Colloidal
Silver as an anti-biotic. There is much about Bob Beck on the Internet.

space. The original SCENAR device was invented and designed by A. Revenko and
A. Karasjev and was produced by ZAO OKB RITM.

The SCENAR uses biofeedback, enabling the body to heal itself. The SCENAR
sends out a series of signals through the skin and measures the response. Each
signal is only sent out when a change is recorded in the electrical properties of the
skin, in response to the previous signal.
In Russia, some 600 practitioners currently use the SCENAR as their principal
treatment instrument, with over 50,000 reported cases of individual use. A vast
wealth of information on the SCENAR is available from research papers, clinical
reports and training manuals. The SCENAR can be used on most types of disease
or injury: circulatory, sensory, respiratory, neurological, genito-urinary,
musculoskeletal, gastro-intestinal, endocrine, immune and psychological disorders.
The SCENAR is also credited with vastly reducing recovery times.
The one common thing that has been overlooked throughout the entire history of
using electricity to fight disease and illness, is the amazing ability of many of the
devices to quickly destroy microbes such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and other
microbes, possibly many if not all forms of virus.
Has there been any studies to support this? Quite possibly but you can be assured
that any such reports have been excluded from publication in any medical journals
as the journals are controlled almost exclusively by the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence is quite obvious and compelling as there are videos and photographs
that are easily available. Anyone who has a microscope can easily set up a slide of
living microbes and observe for themselves the effects that electricity of various
forms will have on differing microbes.
When observed under the microscope, it can be seen that the effect depends on
frequency, voltage, current, and waveform applied. When the right frequency of

sufficient voltage and current and waveform is applied, some microbes are
completely destroyed in seconds while others may take several minutes.
Not only can microbes be killed but it is quite possible that other effects may be
involved. For one, One seller claimed that his zapper would not kill microbes,
because it used a weaker output, but that it would still significantly boost the
immune system.
This effect, while not established by research is supported by the claims of many
and it may be the result of the immune system sensing the vibrational frequency
starts seeking possible causes and attacking microbes that were previously
ignored.
