Re: RIFE, PROOF, and ELECTRICITY by Starstruck

Yes, the electrical resistance of the skin is very important and when using the right electrodes for the direct application of an electrical signal through the skin, it can be easily lowered.

The first thing to do is to keep the skin wet with a strong solution of salt water. Salt water soaked paper towels can accomplish this.

Second, the larger the contact area, the lower the overall resisitance. Using large contact areas such as footpads and arm pads or paddles can certainly decrease resistance.

Third, using more than 2 electrodes can also reduce resistance but at least where zappers are concerned, only one negative or ground electrode should be used.

Using these three things will consistently lower the overall resistance to less than 500 ohms and it may be much lower. Additionally, this will reduce the amount of heat and burning that may occur with smaller electrodes such as wrist bands.
