What is electroporation/transfection and should I be concerned?
The idea of electroporation (sometimes called “transfection”, which isn’t quite the same thing) has taken on a life of its own.
By definition, electroporation is a transfection method that uses an electrical pulse to create temporary pores in cell membranes, through which substances can pass into the cells. Electroporation is the method, and transfection is the result—transferring material into cells. In fact, transfection is happening all the time; cells open and close pores regularly to take in nutrients and expel waste. Electroporation, however, is more of a ‘forced’ transfection. It’s
beyond what occurs naturally.
Here’s the real story behind how electroporation became an issue with micropulsing:
Back in the early 1990s, a paper authored by research scientist James C. Weaver was presented to Bob. This paper discussed the idea that electricity could possibly multiply substances in the bloodstream when the electricity is applied to the cells.
There was initial concern that microcurrents might be able to trigger electroporation. For people taking prescriptions or other potentially toxic substances, the concern was that the effect of these substances might get multiplied by the electroporation effect—as cells would open up to absorb more of the substance.
What’s often overlooked is that the Weaver study clearly states electroporation takes place at 200 V/cm2 (Volts per centimeter squared). The Beck blood electrifier output is only 7 V/cm2… not even close to what Weaver states is required. Because of this, electroporation is not an issue with the Beck Protocol.
This technology has been available to the public for over 20 years with no incidents of electroporation due to use of a Beck unit. It’s our understanding that when the issue first came up, Bob felt it was best to be cautious and suggested taking the prescription drugs after micropulsing to minimize exposure, and that advice is always something you can take advantage of if you’re feeling that’s the best course of action for you.
Back to the question—even though thousands of individuals who micropulse have never experienced electroporation with over more than two decades of use, nevertheless, electroporation has become something of an urban legend. It is misinformation. Electroporation and/or transfection is NOT an issue when using any of the Beck units.

Magnetic Therapy and Medical Research
In “Laws of Attraction,” reporter Alex Murray introduces his review of medical research from around the globe. Murray says, “Doctors used to dismiss magnetic therapy as ancient quackery, until they discovered that it really can help wounds to heal faster, treat epilepsy and even ease depression.”
He also provides an awesome list of health problems for which magnetic therapy is effective:

Light Therapy for "Winter Blues"
You may already know Bob had a keen interest in the use of light to help the body heal. He had many books in his collection on that very topic. We are certain he would have developed such a product had his time on this Earth not run out.
We have it on good authority the folks over at SOTA Instruments have just added a second light device to their product line, and we thought you'd like to know.
Their description: The YumaLite is an LED light visor that is wore during times of reduced sun exposure - like during the winter months or if you work indoors all day. The human body functions better when there's a balanced exposure to the light spectrum, so YumaLite helps with "winter blues" and low energy that's often associated with low exposure to sunshine. The YumaLite also
outputs a RED light to help counteract the effects of blue light exposure from computer screens and mobile devices.
MORE GOOD NEWS! We also learned that SOTA is offering special introductory pricing for the YumaLite during the month of December, as well as an even deeper discount on the purchase of a second unit (Model YL1). This offer isn't available at the website, so for details, give SOTA a call. You may wish to visit the SOTA Instruments Facebook page for more details:
