Bio-electric
Research for Health
Robert (Bob) C. Beck, D.Sc. [1925-2002]
Bob Beck applied his genius to health research after retiring from a challenging
and rewarding career as a physicist. He worked on several government classified
projects—including a project to measure extra low frequency signals circling
the globe. These frequencies are suspect as a means of mind control and Bob
invented a small magnetometer that could detect the frequencies better than
the existing $300,000 SQUIDS or Sequential Quantum Integrating Devices in use.
Bob Beck’s unusual intelligence was evident from an early age. “I
was building crystal sets for the kid on the block when I was quite young. It
sort of fascinated me and I’ve been at it all my life since.” An
early interest in photography supported him while he worked his way through
university. As a photographer, he applied his talents to developing an electronic
flash for his camera. “I learned to blow glass and I bought a container
of xenon for $70. It was too valuable to leave at Wilcox Photo Sales where I
was doing the work, so I took it home with me. Mother said, ‘What’s
that?’ I said xenon. ‘What did it cost?’ I said $70. She exploded.
‘You paid $70 for that empty glass thing!’ When she looked at that
she saw nothing. The gas was invisible. When I looked at it I saw the future
of photography.” Bob sold the patent his low voltage flashcube to Ed Wilcox
for $500. “That was the most money I’d ever seen in my life, paid
for my last semester at USC… When the Olympics were held here in Los Angeles
and the coliseum was full of people, the announcer suggested that they turn
out the lights in the stadium and people flash to signify they’d had a
good time. I was sitting in my bedroom looking at the television and here were
these what looked like hundreds of thousands of flashbulbs. Tears came to my
eyes because I realized that all of those things were my grandchildren and it
wasn’t just one or two units or a dozen at Life magazine that I built
with my own hands, it was the whole world using my grandchildren.”
In the 1980’s, he operated his own company during a time when he did extensive
research on the brain. He developed a powerful electroencephalograph unit. This
research eventually led him to Dr. Margaret Patterson, a Scottish surgeon, visiting
the US from England. Dr. Patterson’s work was featured in the January
1983 issue of Omni magazine when Peter Townsend, a British rock star, went public
after stopping his slide into “drugged oblivion.” The article, “Brain
Tuner,” by Kathleen McAuliffe caught Bob Beck’s attention. Dr. Patterson
had developed a “black box” to help her patients with their addictions
after working with Dr. H. L. Wen in Hong Kong using electroacupuncture. Dr.
Wong had discovered some of his patients were overcoming addictions without
severe withdrawal symptoms. Bob Beck subsequently developed his own Brain Tuner
after attending a seminar in Quebec, Canada in 1982. He met a researcher who
had visited Russia to learn about a device that was highly effective with addictions.
This researcher told Bob, she “had finally located the secret frequency
that was causing the tissue to rejuvenate. … Now there are three magic
numbers which caused the rejuvenation, the healing, rapid re–stimulation
of the neuro–transmitters. … they are in the little box that we
built.” In fact Beck’s device has over 200 beneficial frequencies.
The first unit was called a BT5. Later, Bob added extra settings in a model
called the BT6. For his work with the brain Bob Beck received the John Fetzer
Foundation pioneering award in 1990. Research with Beck’s Brain Tuner
gained attention in two books published in the 90’s: Mega Brain Power,
by Michael Hutchison and Super–Learning 2000 by Sheila Ostrander &
Lynn Schroeder. More recently, James Oschman referred to Beck’s research
in Energy Medicine, The Scientific Basis.
His life took another turn in 1991 when a brief mention about research with
microamperes of electricity at Albert Einstein College of Medicine appeared
in the March 30th issue of Science News. Dr. William D. Lyman and Dr. Steven
Kaali had presented a paper in Washington, D.C. on March 14th at the First International
Symposium on Combination Therapies. In their laboratory, electrical currents
disabled or neutralized viruses so the viruses were no longer able to reproduce.
The research spoke of the possibility of running blood through a dialysis–like
unit or implanting electrical devices to incapacitate HIV. This research both
intrigued and challenged Bob Beck. He discovered, however, that the research
had been pulled from public view—the paper was no longer part of the published
proceedings of the symposium. A search of US patents finally led Bob Beck to
the evidence and details he was searching for. The researchers had filed patent
#5,188,738 on November 16, 1990. The patent states: “to provide electric
current flow through the blood or other body fluids at a magnitude that is biologically
compatible but is sufficient to render the bacteria, virus, parasites and/or
fungus ineffective to infect or affect normally healthy cells…”
The only other public evidence of this research is an interview with Dr. Lyman
on March 30, 1991 by the CBC radio program “Quirks & Quarks”
in Canada.
By nature and profession Robert C. Beck was always an innovator and inventor.
He set about to develop a system to send the necessary microcurrents of electricity
into the blood without medical intrusion or, in other words, without invading
the body. After developing a system using electrodes on the skin, carefully
placed over two arteries, he funded a study with two medical doctors and 8 AIDS
patients. Beck had hoped to publish the results of this study. According to
Bob Beck, all 8 patients were symptom–free. The established medical system,
however, required that a PCR test show that each individual was no longer HIV
positive. This led to confusion and the eventual abandonment of the study as
the PCR test results were all over the place. It has since come to light that
the PCR test is not a valid test for HIV. It has further come to light that
HIV is not necessarily a causative factor in AIDS. What If Everything You Thought
You Knew About AIDS Was Wrong by Christine Maggiore is an excellent resource
that reveals the politics of research concerning AIDS.
Over time, Bob Beck saw the need to reach the lymphatic system with electrification.
He realized the lymph system is more extensive than the blood vessels and can
harbor and hide viral infections and so re-infect the blood. To electrify lymph
and tissue, Beck devised a magnetic pulse generator to induce the necessary
microcurrents of electricity in specific sites.
Beck’s research also uncovered much historical evidence about the effectiveness
of ionic/colloidal silver as a natural antibiotic. Again he applied his inventive
genius and developed a simple device to allow individuals in their homes to
make their own ionic/colloidal silver. “Four o'clock one morning three
years ago, I woke up with a perfect solution on how to make it. I put it on
an old nine-volt transistor radio battery and a couple of silver wires. Dunk
those wires in water …” See HOW TO MAKE IONIC/COLLOIDAL SILVER for
procedures to make 3–5 PPM ionic/colloidal silver with a small particle
size.
Beck was giving talks and workshops at health shows. He sold a handout titled,
“Take Back Your Power” at these workshops for a nominal fee. The
handout included schematics so those interested could build their own devices.
At a seminar in Seattle in early 1996, husband and wife team Russ Torlage and
Lesley Punt heard Bob Beck speak and purchased a handout. Lesley was looking
for a way to overcome Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Russ applied his design talents
to Bob’s material. To make the story short, the blood and tissue electrification
units were the tools that gave Lesley back her life. When Bob Beck examined
the units Russ had designed, he immediately gave the units his endorsement.
He had only endorsed one other company to this point, as he wanted to be sure
the public would get good value for their money. Russ Torlage of SOTA worked
closely with Bob Beck for the last few years of his life. At the time of his
passing, SOTA Instruments Inc. was the sole company endorsed by Robert C. Beck.
On the lookout for ways to improve the effectiveness of what was becoming known
as “The Beck Protocol,” Bob Beck started ozonating his drinking
water with a device he built using parts from a pet supply store for ozonating
fish tanks. Using a pulse oximeter to measure oxygen levels in blood and experimenting
with friends, he found the oxygen level of the blood could be improved by drinking
ozonated water. Ozone, of course, is known as a powerful oxidizer so he knew
it would be a step to help flush toxins from the body. The Beck Protocol now
consists of four tools using three units—one that offers both blood electrification
and making ionic/colloidal silver, one that offers lymph and tissue electrification
and the third is a water ozonator.
At one point in his career, Bob Beck also lectured to post–graduate students.
He told his students, “You can’t go up against the establishment
with pure science—you’ve got to be politically correct. And that’s
just basic to the way things are done out there. … What I’m doing
is totally politically incorrect!”
Beck says now the discovery at Albert Einstein College was really a re–discovery.
He has found that many patents have been filed over the years showing the effectiveness
of electricity for health. Referring to the units and his handout, Bob Beck
says, “It is experimental. We have given you this information for educational
and operational purposes only. But there is no such thing as a bacterial strain
resistant to electricity. It’s that simple. So we know we’re on
the threshold of something great and I know I am not popular with the pharmaceutical
houses…” He concludes, “Well, God has left a back door [for
health] and that back door seems to be electricity.”
