THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
Subsequent probes are made in exactly the same way. As you
develop skill, your probes will become identical. Plan to
practice for one or two hours each day. It takes most people at
least twelve hours of practice in order to be so consistent with
their probes that they can hear the slight difference when the
circuit is resonant.
For reference you may wish to use a piano. The starting
sound when you touch down on the skin should be F, an octave
and a half above middle C. The sound rises to a C as you press to
the knuckle bone, then slips back to B, then back up to C-sharp as
you complete the second half of your first probe. If you have a
multitester you can connect it in series with the handhold or
probe: the current should rise to about 50 microamps. If you have
a frequency counter the frequency should reach 1000 Hz. You
should arrive at C-sharp just before the probe becomes painful.
Two things change the sound of the probes even when your
technique doesn't change.
- The patch of skin chosen for probing will change its prop-
erties. The more it is used, the redder it gets and the higher
the sound goes when you probe. Move to a nearby location,
such as the edge of the patch, when the sound is too high to
begin with, rather than adjusting the potentiometer. - Your body has cycles which make the sound go noticeably
higher and lower. If you are getting strangely higher sounds
for identical probes, stop and only probe every five
minutes until you think the sound has gone down to stan-
dard. This could take five to twenty minutes. Learn this
higher sound so you can avoid testing during this period.
You may also find times when it is impossible to reach the
necessary sound without pressing so hard it causes pain. You
may adjust the potentiometer if that helps.
