Blood electrification for treatment resistant infections
🕑 Added 2024-11-29 15:52:09 +0000 UTCToday we’ll be discussing the history, science and practical application of blood electrification. As always, you can skip the science and go straight to the practical application bellow. If you’re really that lazy and lack curiosity 🤭
Who was Bob Beck?
Bob Beck was an American inventor and researcher known for his unconventional approaches to health and healing, particularly in the realm of electrical therapy. You may be familiar with him — because he invinted the Sota brain/bio tuner, which I’ve discussed before regarding the treatment of addiction (you can find that article bellow). He also invinted the Sota magnetic pulser and Sota ozonator.

His work in the late 20th century also focused on the use of electrical impulses to enhance the immune response and combat infections.
Beck's interest in alternative medicine and electrical therapies was partly inspired by his own health challenges and a desire to explore non-invasive treatments for disease. He sought to find methods that could boost the body's natural healing processes without the side effects associated with conventional medications. His investigations led him to study the effects of electrical impulses on biological systems, leading to the creation of the brain tuner and the ‘blood zapper’
In the 1980s, Beck developed what would later be known as the ‘Beck Protocol’. This protocol involved several components, including:
1. Blood electrification — One of Beck's key innovations was the concept ‘blood bio-electrification’. Beck postulated that by applying electrical impulses directly to the blood, it could kill pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. This was based on the idea that electrical currents could disrupt the cellular structure of these pathogens. This was experimentally documented, although most of the studies were small and mechanistic. However, the original blood zapper demonstrated noteable clinical success in hospital settings (where it was used originally before being relegated to the archives of ‘forgotten’ treatments) for patients with sepsis (life threatening blood infection’s)
2. PEMF (sota pulser): Beck also included the use of magnetic fields as part of his protocol. He believed that magnetic therapy could help in reducing inflammation and promoting healing. In some cases, PEMF (when used at specific designated frequencies) was thought to also ameliorate infections.
3. Colloidal Silver: In addition to electrical impulses, Beck advocated the use of colloidal silver, a substance that has been touted for its antimicrobial properties. He suggested that combining colloidal silver with electrical therapy could enhance its effectiveness against infections as well
4. Ozone — beck was big on drinking ozonated water for infections and blood oxygenation
While Beck's theories were met with skepticism by some in the medical community, he garnered a following among those interested in alternative health. He conducted experiments and shared anecdotal evidence of his methods leading to positive outcomes for individuals suffering from various infections and health conditions, including HIV which he claimed the zapper was particularly effective at managing. Many users did report massive improvements in their health.
Despite the controversies surrounding his methods, Bob Beck's work has had a lasting impact on the field of alternative medicine. His ideas influenced a range of practitioners who explore the use of electrical therapies for various health conditions. Today, some researchers and practitioners continue to investigate the potential benefits of electrical stimulation in promoting healing and enhancing immune responses. Most notable is Michael levin — who picked up the torch after guys like Becker and beck —for his continued research into bio-electricity for limb regeneration and cancer.
How does the blood electrification work?
research on BE shows that low-strength electric impulses can influence our immune cells, specifically leukocytes, which are essential for fighting infections. In one study, researchers applied square-wave electric impulses—set at 100 V/cm for 5 milliseconds—to different leukocyte samples. Their goal? To see how these electric currents might enhance the immune response.
So, what exactly happens when electric impulses (set at VERY specific frequencies and intensities) hit our leukocytes? These impulses seem to activate a state of ‘alertness’ in the immune cells, essentially gearing them up for action. The researchers looked at several surface markers on the leukocytes, such as CD3, CD4, CD8, CD11a, CD11b, and ICAM-1.
These markers serve different purposes:
1. CD3, CD4, and CD8 are important for T-cell function.
2. CD11a and CD11b help cells stick to one another and move where needed.
3. ICAM-1 facilitates interactions between our immune cells.
So how do electric impulses enhance the readiness of leukocytes to respond to threats?
Well, the study looked specifically at how they affected enzyme levels in the serum. They found slightly elevated levels of lactate dehydrogenase, which can indicate some degree of red blood cell breakdown However, the absence of increased activity in membrane-bound peroxidase suggests that significant damage didn’t occur.
This finding highlights a key point: elevated LDH might signal stress, but the lack of peroxidase activity indicates that the cells are largely intact. Essentially, while there’s some cellular stress, it doesn’t appear to be severe and it may actually contribute to some of the enhanced immune function via hormesis or ‘eustress’ (beneficial stress).
Additionally, there were notable increases in serum superoxide dismutase activity. SOD is an antioxidant that helps reduce oxidative stress by converting harmful superoxide radicals into less damaging substances.
Why is this important? In many laboratory blood manipulations, superoxide radicals can build up and harm cells. By enhancing SOD activity, the body can better manage oxidative stress, thus protecting the immune cells and supporting their function.
Interestingly, the study found a mild but significant reduction in blood clotting time after the electric treatment. This finding is interesting, especially for patients who might already be at risk for blood clots. (Hello COVID vaccine)
The study indicates overall that bood electrification can promote a stronger immune response and help establish an antiviral state.
But what does other research show regard BE’s impact on actual pathogens IN the blood itself? Here’s where it gets interesting
In one study, researchers investigated the antibacterial effects of low direct electrical stimulation on experimentally induced septic rats, highlighting its potential to disrupt bacterial cell membranes and reduce infection spread. The researchers propose that this antibacterial effect may stem from electrolysis, leading to the formation of hypochlorous acid, which selectively damages microbial cell walls. while inflammation was observed in lung tissues, it was less severe in rats treated with electrical stimulation compared to untreated septic rats.
Key physiological changes were see in some of the septic rats, including lower pH and white blood cell counts, alongside increased blood viscosity and altered blood gas levels, indicating a state of systemic distress and inflammation common in severe sepsis. The study found that the application of the low electrical signal mitigated these adverse changes, preserving tissue integrity and preventing liver damage, as indicated by such markers like ALT and AST.
Oxidative stress is often exacerbated during sepsis due to an imbalance in reactive oxygen species. It appears the low electrical signal effectively restored this redox homeostasis (aka balance) by reducing oxidative stress markers in treated rats. Furthermore, the study examined inflammatory markers, showing that while interleukin levels increased in septic rats, the application of electrical stimulation significantly lowered them, demonstrating an anti-inflammatory effect. Likely via that immune modulation we mentioned.
Here’s another paper looking at HIV:
research by Dr. Kaali and Dr. Lyman on blood electrification outlines some therapeutic applications for the effective treatment of HIV/AIDS. They discovered that applying a low direct current of 50-100 microamperes through platinum electrodes in HIV-infected blood effectively disabled the virus without harming normal blood cells. This process impaired the virus's outer protein coating, preventing it from producing reverse transcriptase, an enzyme essential for the virus to invade human T cells and replicate. Essentially, blood electrification made the virus more useless than a one-legged man in a kicking contest. Their findings were briefly reported in publications such as The Houston Post and Science News, and they presented their work at an AIDS conference in 1991.
While these were experimental findings in test tubes, we have to remember that BE was used successfully in many cases of sepsis IN HUMANS!
Why was this treatment supressed?
Kaali and Lyman proposed two treatment methods: one involved electrifying a small amount of blood outside the body before returning it to the patient, while the other suggested implanting a miniature electrical device directly into an artery to provide continuous treatment. They were granted a patent for this device in 1992, indicating the efficacy of their claims.
However, despite the promise of their findings, interest in this treatment seemed to wane, leading to speculation about the purposeful suppression of their research. Dr. Robert Beck (not to be confused with Robert Becker) later sought to replicate this work non-invasively, using a bi-phasic square wave to avoid the complications of electrolysis that comes with non-phasic currents. He discovered that a specific frequency of 3.92 Hz could yield similar results.
Beck aimed to apply the therapy externally by placing electrodes over arteries, allowing electromagnetic induction to create the necessary current without surgical intervention. His efforts culminated in the development of the ‘blood electrifier’, (which you can purchase) which he successfully tested on himself as well as a group of septic patients. Beck became an advocate for blood electrification, sharing his discoveries at various health expos and radio shows, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic approach for managing viral load HIV/AIDS.
How do you use it?
Blood bio-electrification is something that can be performed non-invasively, and I think it’s a great option for systemic fungal infections, long COVID (especially if blood clotting is implicated) and possibly bacterial sepsis. Although I would absolutely NEVER recommend relying on something like BE as a standalone treatment.
The treatment is performed by placing electrodes over the radial artery, and ‘zapping’ the blood for anywhere between 1-4 hours daily. Either in 1-2 seperate sessions. That’s basically it!
You can find the device here for just $200: I think it’s a great device to keep on hand if you get sick. While it’s not a guaranteed solution, the downsides are virtually non-existent.

Could the Pulsetto placement (around Vagus) be inducing this activity? What about TENS foot pads? I know you said has to be the right freq/current/volt/etc.
