Design for infrared light healer (from Wired) published anywhere?

[Tony Williams]

Philips sells similar things for 40 years under the name
Infraphil, basically a lamp with a filter.

A much longer wavelength than near-IR LEDs as well, afair.

A much longer wavelength than near-IR LEDs as well, afair.

OTOH, the wavelengths they mention in the article are on the short
side for typical IR LEDs, so rather close to visible.

Is that Philips light the same thing they used to put in motel
bathrooms, greasy spoons, chicken incubators etc. ?

As I understand it, the reason that a wart erupts from the surface
of the skin is the virus needs a dryer climate in which to thrive.

Covering the wart with duct tape holds in the skin's moisture, and
wrecks the conditions the wart likes, and it dies.

Vague memories that they used to sell it as 'Black Light',
which would put it at about the same wavelength as the
radiation from a lump of iron running at about 600C?

Okay, so something quite different. The ones I mentioned are deep red.

Dontcha know the home remedy for warts? You cut a notch in a stick and
rub it on the wart, and bury it. This works, because much of the healing
is psychosomatic.

If the stick was from a willow, perhaps it might work better. Willows
(genus "salix" - get it?) contain salicylic acid, which is used to remove
warts.

Chewing willow also works to relieve headaches: salicylate is the active
ingredient in aspirin. But aspirin is better, it's got fewer side effects.

I question whether you can psychosomatically heal a wart. But surely, since
some warts resolve of their own accord, if you rub a stick on the wart it
will sometimes go away. Works for other ailments too! Sticks - the miracle
drug! If it doesn't work the first time, try again - eventually it's bound
to work.

How about periodical coatings of collodion? Should do the same thing.
Without the stupid looking duct tape.

Somehow I would think that duct tape should be used on the skin of
robots, not humans. Ya know? Unless they come out with flesh-colored
duct tape.

The doctor that did the original research, and blind tests used what the
medical community calls adhesive tape. But he found that duct tape
works even better, and is a buck for enough to cure an entire city.

I own a bridge in brooklyn, I'll sell you. It will cure you too.
You get up on it, and jump off.

Another possibility would be to use white glue then cover with a band aid to
keep the dried glue on.
The glue also this works well for removing cactus spines (the small ones you
cannot see well) just put the glue on the area where the spines are let dry
and peal off. Repeat if a few spines remain

Us desert rats use depilatory wax to remove cactus spines. Apply, let
harden, peel off with all the fine spines.

Then there's the case where one of my dogs tried to get a bug from
between the needles of a barrel cactus. The kind of needle with a
curved end like a hook. My wife had to hold the dog still while I
slid his tongue around the hook and got him loose ;-)

As a Canadian I feel that this must be said.
In the immortal words of Red Green........

"Duct Tape...is there anything it cant do?"

Funny, but when I go up in the ceiling, I see ducts falling apart
because the duct tape isn't doing its job. :-O

 

[Chuck Harris]

Sealing ductwork is probably one thing that duct tape cannot
do! There are many different grades. The stuff you get at the
local Walmart is useless for its original purpose, but the duct
tape that you get at your local HVAC supplier, is so sticky that if
you wrapped it around your finger, you would "deglove" your finger
if you pulled it too hard!

What spoils the day even for the good HVAC type of duct tape is the
tendency for galvanized ductwork to form a layer of zinc oxide on
its surface after time. This is a white powder, and it foils the
adhesive, just like sprinkling it with talcum would.

How would "NU-Skin" work for covering a wart to
hold in the skin's moisture? I know it works wonders
for blisters, and also keeps you from picking off the
loose skin after you bleed out the fluids from the blister.

I don't think it would work at all. The NU-skin stuff seems
to breath. If it didn't, the moisture would get under the
stuff and make it release.

Use the duct tape, or 3M adhesive tape. It has been tested,
it works, and is "doctor approved".

Yeah, thanks. I hadn't thought about that. Of course, it has
to breath, otherwise the air couldn't get to the blister to help
dry it.

Speaking of nasty adhesives, I've got some residue that continues to
"reappear" on a rubber/plastic surface, namely the pouch on an oscilloscope.
I've cleaned it three times with a soaking of WD-40 (lubricant/penetrant,
removes *anything* sticky) followed by an orange cleaner. After each
cleaning it seems fixed, but 24 hours later it's tacky again. It's getting
better, but I've never seen an adhesive that was this stubborn, and appears
to be removed when it is not. It was some kind of military sticker, if that
says anything. I don't have any GooGone... anyone have any other ideas?

That's funny. They say that the white powder up there on the ducts is
asbestos from the insulation. :-O
