Claim: A “zapper” can kill parasites, bacteria, and viruses; it cures all diseases (Hulda Clark, 2024-12-01)
Evidence (2003-01-01): What is a Zapper? Research Scientist and Author, Dr. Hulda Clark invented a simple positive offset square wave frequency generator powered by a 9-volt battery and called it a Zapper. She wrote many books about zapping parasites which she believed was beneficial to boosting the immune system. Zapping is considered experimental, which means that the science has not been evaluated by the FDA. Read the latest books by Hulda Clark to learn about the many ways Dr. Clark experimented with a Zapper. [...] What about parasites, viruses, & bacteria? Will this help with...? There are a lot of politics and laws about what a merchant can state when selling experimental devices such as a Hulda Clark Zapper. Let us try to explain. Because Dr. Clark does not manufacture Zappers or nutritional supplements, she can state whatever she believes in the books she publishes. It is considered free speech. Although her research and experiments have benefitted hundreds of people over the years, the Hulda Clark Zapper has not been evaluated by the US FDA. Without a double-blind study approved by the FDA, any claims that the Hulda Clark Zapper kills parasites, viruses, and bacteria are considered unsubstantiated.
Claim: A “zapper” can kill parasites, bacteria, and viruses; it cures all diseases (Hulda Clark, 2024-12-01)
Evidence (2024-07-20): All parasites and diseased tissues are positively charged. The zapper introduces negative ions through the skin and into the body’s living tissue, killing the parasites by reversing their polarity and also helping to heal the diseased tissue. Healthy tissue is negatively charged. [...] DON’T ZAP FOR LESS THAN THIRTY MINUTES AT FIRST! If you do, it apparently stops the complete killing of the whole range of parasites and may result in sickness in a few days. Parasites have parasites living in them just like we do. For example, worms can have bacteria, viruses, and fungi living inside them. They are harmless to the worm but can be very harmful to humans if they are not killed as soon as they are released from the dead worm. Dr. Clark has shown that 20 minutes of zapping kills the whole range of parasites. Intestinal worms may take a week or more to kill, but this time is shortened when a zapper is used around the clock, or at least during waking hours. We’ve been told Terminators kill them faster than ordinary zappers. The Terminator produces an energy field that many believe can speed up healing and pain relief when worn close to the affected area. The Terminator also apparently drives stored toxins, even toxic metals, out of the tissues for elimination. Many feel this is done by stimulating cellular energy.
Claim: A “zapper” can kill parasites, bacteria, and viruses; it cures all diseases (Hulda Clark, 2024-12-01)
Evidence (1998-09-05): The zapper works amazingly to kill microbes such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and possibly even virus in water. Since the human body is mostly water, it would make sense that it would have possible positive effects. Our zappers range in price from about $109.00 to over $500.00, depending on the model and features. If you can not afford one, simply try battery tapping. While it is only about one tenth as effective as the best zappers, it can stop a cold or flu in its tracks but may not be as effective on other problems. To try battery tapping, simply wet the index fingers of both hands. Place the index finger of the left hand on one battery terminal and tap the other terminal as fast as you can with the right index finger ( the hands should not touch each other at any time ) for 7 minutes or longer. After the 7 minute or longer time, stop and rest for 20 minutes. Repeat the tapping for the same amount of time that you did the first time, stop and rest for another 20 minutes. Then repeat for at least a third time and if possible, a fourth time.
Claim: A “zapper” can kill parasites, bacteria, and viruses; it cures all diseases (Hulda Clark, 2024-12-01)
Evidence (2024-01-12): In the Facebook video, Clark explained how to use the "zapper", an electric device she developed herself that supposedly cures all diseases by clearing parasites from the body. Iterations of Clark’s claims are also common on TikTok, where they accumulate hundreds of thousands of views. But as we will show below, Clark’s claims are baseless, and experts and medical societies have repeatedly dismissed her ideas as pseudoscience. Yet, her claims persist and the "zapper" continues to be marketed online as a cancer treatment. Moreover, Clark’s therapies couldn’t prevent her from dying of multiple myeloma (a type of blood cancer) in 2009, as her official website documented at the time. [...] Then came the "zapper", a device consisting of two copper handles connected to a battery that pulses mild electric currents (nine volts) through the body at a specific frequency (bioresonance). This device is based on the idea that each living organism, including parasites, produces a unique frequency. The "zapper" is supposed to specifically counter the frequency of parasites, killing them without harming human tissues.
Claim: A “zapper” can kill parasites, bacteria, and viruses; it cures all diseases (Hulda Clark, 2024-12-01)
Evidence (1998-09-05): How does zapping work? Dr. Clark has written, "Any positively offset frequency kills all bacteria, viruses and parasites simultaneously given sufficient voltage (5 to 10 volts), duration (seven minutes), and frequency (anything from 10 Hz to 500,000 Hz)" [2]. A positive offset frequency is one which alternates between positive and zero voltage. I am not at all certain that zapping actually kills any invading microorganism. This trial suggests that since only 48.3% improved substantially, zapping probably did not kill "all bacteria, viruses and parasites" (according to Dr. Clark's book, the reason could be that possibly the current did not access all body regions, specifically the bowel contents [2]).
Claim: A “zapper” can kill parasites, bacteria, and viruses; it cures all diseases (Hulda Clark, 2024-12-01)
Evidence (2024-03-26): What is a Zapper and why does it work? [...] If the varying voltage becomes NEGATIVE, even momentarily, it supports and maintains their lives! This must be avoided. You cannot take this for granted when you purchase a zapper. The maker must assure you that it has been checked on an oscilloscope and not even 1% negative voltage found… If the voltage is applied in pulses, to produce a "square" wave, it will affect many parasites at once so that the rate of raising and lowering it, called frequency, is not critical. Even though these tiny animals undoubtedly have a "mortal frequency", this rate does not need to be known or used when a square wave of electricity, totally positive, is used (see page 529). [...] "Remember that killing parasites, by itself, as we can do with herbs, removes the HIV virus source, but this does not return immune power. A zapper, on the other hand, not only eliminates parasites; it does so by returning immune power. Each method has its own virtues." The Cure For HIV and AIDS, by Dr. Hulda Regehr Clark, pg. 71
Claim: A “zapper” can kill parasites, bacteria, and viruses; it cures all diseases (Hulda Clark, 2024-12-01)
Evidence (2020-12-07): In the most simple terms, Zapper is a wave frequency generator machine that removes parasites from our bodies, named by its inventor dr. Hulda Clark. Parasites are organisms that seek food and shelter in our bodies. Once they are inside us they start multiplying and damaging some of our bodily functions (directly or indirectly!). There are thousands of different kinds of parasites such as viruses, bacteria, protozoa, prions, fungi, molds, tapeworms and mites that can poison the human body with its toxins. According to dr. Clark`s research, the majority of known diseases originate from parasites in our bodies. Keep in mind that diseases are usually triggered by multiple other harmful pathogens, but parasites have the leading role and are the most impactful. They are so harmful because they are hosts for other bacteria, viruses, and fungi, which reside inside them. To combat this Dr. Hulda Clark invented the Zapper device. It works by sending a weak electric current through the body that destroys parasites, viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Zapper kills viruses and bacteria in 3minutes, tapeworms, liver fluke and earthworms in 5 minutes, mites in 7 minutes. Various studies have shown that weak electrical current is not harmful to humans, but devastating for microorganisms. Microorganisms do not tolerate low voltage of their frequency range and this applies to all types of parasites, bacteria, viruses, fungi and cancer cells.
Claim: A “zapper” can kill parasites, bacteria, and viruses; it cures all diseases (Hulda Clark, 2024-12-01)
Evidence (2020-10-28): - In recent years, the so-called zappers – electric waveform generators to kill pathogens and support the body. The principle of operation and the construction of new discs is extremely difficult, it is more difficult to rationally explain their therapeutic effect. Currents of different frequencies have long been used in classical medicine, but today’s popularity of different varieties of zapper is mainly related to the content of the book "The Cure for All Diseases", written by Dr. Hulda Clark. In 1988, Mrs. Clark began experimenting with alternating waveforms, first at 1000 Hz, then at higher and higher frequencies. As she writes, she stated the presence of resonance. This applied to the human body as well as parasites, bacteria, viruses, mold and even toxins. He claims that all germs and parasites had characteristic resonance frequencies. At the same time, the author decided that a very good effect can be obtained by using only one, relatively low frequency of 20 … 40 kHz, when the output waveform has a rectangular shape and contains a constant component. In his book, he proposes building a zapper – a device to destroy parasites in the body. Zapping refers to the exposure of germs to an electric current of a certain frequency, the name derived from the slang term zap – "attack, kill, destroy".

Evidence (2024-10-01): The DR. CLARK ZAPPER is a therapy device. It does not search for things in the body like the Syncrometer, instead it gets rid of them. The DR. CLARK ZAPPER also has another function, It reactivates our white blood cells so that they can go on an "invader hunt" on their own and kill them. [...] The DR. CLARK ZAPPER is very easy to use. Just press the ON button.
Claim: A “zapper” can kill parasites, bacteria, and viruses; it cures all diseases (Hulda Clark, 2024-12-01)
Evidence (2024-10-01): She was the first to recognize that one does not get parasites only in tropical countries. Parasites can cause great damage to the human body, weakening our immune system and cause disease.Only the adult stage is the one that should "normally" live in humans (and then only in the intestine). Instead Dr. Clark realized that the human species are now heavily infested with parasites. Globalization has also given its contribution to this. Global travel reduces our planet to the size of our backyards and in order to keep our own backyards clean, the neighbors must keep backyards clean too. So it is with keeping our bodies free of viruses, bacteria and parasites. We all must be free of them. We can do this electrically with zapping and Parasite Cleanse which removes more than 120 species of parasites without any side effects. [...] Copyright notice – Excerpts taken from "The Cure of all Diseases" written by Dr. Clark [...] This is bad news for us because parasites will use up our food, our vitamins, and our minerals while releasing their own harmful bacteria, metals, viruses, toxins, and other waste products in us.

Evidence (2024-08-20): Once a tick has landed on a host, it can feed for many days. Thus, the "goal is to remove the tick as quickly as possible—not waiting for it to detach", according to the CDC. This is because the longer a tick remains on the skin, the more likely it is to transmit bacteria, viruses, or parasites that cause human diseases.

Evidence (1999-01-01): Any positively offset [DC] frequency kills all bacteria, viruses and parasites simultaneously given sufficient voltage (5 to 10 volts), duration (seven minutes), and frequency (anything from 10 Hz to 500'000 Hz). But it takes more than one treatment. It takes three treatments to kill everything. Why? The first zapping kills viruses, bacteria and parasites. But a few minutes later, bacteria and viruses (different ones) often recur. I conclude they had been infecting the parasites, and killing the parasites released them. The second zapping kills the released viruses and bacteria, but soon a few viruses appear again. They must have been infecting some of the last bacteria. After a third zapping I never find any viruses, bacteria or parasites, even hours later.

Evidence (2018-06-25): It is difficult to protect your dog from mosquitoes, especially if the dog spends much time outside. You can reduce outdoor exposure to mosquitoes by not walking your dog in the early morning or early evening hours. Those are the hours when mosquitoes are most active. Sensitive animals, including puppies, should be housed in closed or screened buildings, and the mosquitoes inside killed with safe insecticide. Imidacloprid is a topical drug that can be used on dogs (but not cats) to repel adult female mosquitoes for up to 4 weeks. Mosquitoes are not attracted to light, so "bug zappers" do not help control mosquitoes; they may actually be harmful because they destroy insects that prey on mosquitoes.

Evidence (2024-06-12): If you have cancer, you may be willing to try anything that you think could cure your disease. One treatment you may have heard of is a Rife machine. This device, invented nearly a century ago, emits low-energy electromagnetic waves. Some claim that the machine destroys cancer cells by tuning into the electrical impulses coming from the tumor.

Evidence (2024-08-15): Hulda Regehr Clark (18 October 1928 in Rosthern, Saskatchewan – 3 September 2009 in Chula Vista, California)[1][2] was a Canadian naturopath, author, and practitioner of alternative medicine. Clark claimed all human disease was related to parasitic infection, and also claimed to be able to cure all diseases, including cancer and HIV/AIDS, by "zapping" them with electrical devices which she marketed.[3] Clark wrote several books describing her methods and operated clinics in the United States. Following a string of lawsuits and eventual action by the Federal Trade Commission, she relocated to Tijuana, Mexico, where she ran the Century Nutrition clinic. [...] - Parasites: Clark said people have parasites that cause numerous problems. She described herbal and electronic methods to remove them, such as her Zapper device (see below). [...] - Zapper: A device to pulse low voltage direct current (DC) through the body at specific frequencies. Clark said this device kills viruses, bacteria and parasites. In one case, a patient with a cardiac pacemaker suffered arrhythmias as a side effect of her "Zapper".[18]

Evidence (2021-08-17): - Some mosquito control methods are not very effective. Bug zappers are not effective in controlling biting mosquitoes. Various birds and bats will eat mosquitoes, but there is little scientific evidence that this reduces mosquitoes around homes.

Evidence (2022-03-11): "A couple of pet-safe pest control options are ‘rat zappers’ that electrocute the rodents, but are too small for a pet to access and bucket traps that rodents can fall into and then drown and, again, are too small for pets to access. There are also specific types of bait boxes, called Tier 1 boxes, that adult cats cannot get into but rats can. Traditional mouse traps can definitely cause pain and trauma to a pet but are rarely fatal."
Claim: [T]he raw data, the actual thermometer data[...] shows that the US has been cooling for 80 to 90 years. But the graphs they release to the public show warming trend, and it's all because they've altered the data. (Tony Heller, 2019-05-08)
Evidence (2019-05-08): Scientists constantly work to ensure that the data being used to estimate global average temperatures are as accurate as possible—a necessary and much-studied task. Despite the fact that different groups have developed different methods to do this, the warming trend is clear in all available datasets.

Evidence (2019-08-05): CLAIM: Right on the NASA website, you can look and see in the year 2000 they showed about 0.5C total warming. In the year 2012, they pushed it up to about 0.9C warming. Now they show about almost 1.5C warming over lands[...] [T]he raw data, the actual thermometer data, which comes from this incredible network of very good, contiguous 1,200 stations in the US, shows that the US has been cooling for 80 to 90 years. [...] The most significant adjustments to data relate to changing ship-based instruments and methods used to measure sea surface temperatures around the time of World War II. As the use of thermometers in buckets of water hauled up on deck was replaced by thermometers in ship engine water intake pipes, the measured temperatures changed slightly, necessitating a correction to ensure an "apples-to-apples" comparison. [...] Raw data show more global warming since 1880 than is reported by NOAA [or shown in other datasets]. This is because NOAA "adjusts" temperature data to fairly compare different measurement times, places, and technologies. The cooling effect of adjustments on global temperatures has been shown lots of times, such as with the graph below for 1880—2013 temperatures.

Evidence (2021-01-21): There are a number of folks who question the need for adjustments at all. Why not just use raw temperatures, they ask, since those are pure and unadulterated? The problem is that (with the exception of the newly created Climate Reference Network), there is really no such thing as a pure and unadulterated temperature record. Temperature stations in the U.S. are mainly operated by volunteer observers (the Cooperative Observer Network, or co-op stations for short). Many of these stations were set up in the late 1800s and early 1900s as part of a national network of weather stations, focused on measuring day-to-day changes in the weather rather than decadal-scale changes in the climate. [...] All of these changes introduce (non-random) systemic biases into the network. For example, MMTS sensors tend to read maximum daily temperatures about 0.5 C colder than LiG thermometers at the same location. There is a very obvious cooling bias in the record associated with the conversion of most co-op stations from LiG to MMTS in the 1980s, and even folks deeply skeptical of the temperature network like Anthony Watts and his coauthors add an explicit correction for this in their paper. [...] The impact of QC adjustments is relatively minor. Apart from a slight cooling of temperatures prior to 1910, the trend is unchanged by QC adjustments for the remainder of the record (e.g. the red line in Figure 5).
