  • What's Wrong with White Leds
    The Blind Leading the Blind: What’s Wrong with White LEDs A Technical Analysis of White LEDs and Why They Suck for Caving, At Least For Now By C. Taylor The marketing hype surrounding white LEDs just does not hold up to scrutiny. While white LEDs may suit the miserably small caves that we have in abundance in New England, if you want to avoid groping in the dark and going around in circles, not to mention falling down poorly lit drops, forget about white LED lamps. Go out and buy a real headlamp that can produce 50 lumens of light such as a Petzl Duo with an FR500 halogen bulb. And if you insist on using ANY lamp that takes four or fewer AA cells, use only Energizer e2 or similar lithium / iron sulfide batteries, which can handle the load, not conventional alkaline AAs, which fare poorly in most headlamps of adequate brightness for caving. I first knew something was amiss with white LEDs in July of 2004, when James Keary, Adam Dobson, Manos Pothos and I spent a long weekend caving in big passages in West Virginia. Everyone used a white LED headlamp except for me. I used an old Justrite electric headlamp, and unlike my buddies, I could actually see where I was going. James was even using the latest Nova white LED headlamp from Speleo Technics, which seemed to make no difference whatsoever. We came down from an upper level passage in Buckeye Creek and walked a few feet around some breakdown in the main stream passage.

Beck, D.Sc. “A Radical, Safe, Proven and Inexpensive Approach to Health Using Microcurrents of Electricity” ii Take Back Your Power A Proposal for Health Researchers* by Robert C. Beck, D.Sc. Revised February 2007 This research paper is based on laboratory experiments reported by researchers at a leading university proving that pathogens—viruses, bacteria, fungi, moulds … are neutralized by microcurrents of electricity. · Since 1897, at least 20 patents have been filed related to electro-therapy devices. · Since 1991, researchers have been reporting the health benefits of: 1) Using micro-currents of electricity for in-vivo (non-intrusive) blood electrification, and/or 2) Applying a time-variant pulsed kilogauss magnetic field on the lymph system and/or; 3) Ingesting ionic/colloidal silver and/or 4) Drinking freshly ozonated water. · Despite escalating feedback from health researchers about the success of this technology in regaining health from debilitating diseases, there is no funding source for formal research projects. This paper includes information on how to build your own devices to theoretically neutralize pathogens in-vivo. Bob Beck’s papers are presented to spur further research using this technology. These devices should be considered experimental. They are not a panacea as lifestyle choices are also a major factor in determining health. Researchers must take full responsibility for their experimentation with this technology.
