one to capture communications from intelligent life that was not from this Earth .
Tesla ’ s fascination with magnetism began at childhood . Before he was born , electricity was used for therapy . Handheld generators of electricity were used as a treatment for nervous diseases in the mid-1800 ’ s .
Spinning coils beside a horseshoe magnet would generate electricity into the patient who held two electrodes . His large spiral coil was electrified with a high frequency oscillator . His body absorbed the field via induction , and electrical energy from his hand lit a quartz bulb filled with noble gases .
Tesla ’ s laboratory was burnt to the ground from a fire on the first floor of his building , and he became severely depressed with the loss . He found relief by often walking ten miles through the earth ’ s magnetic field . Circling the blocks and buildings , counting his steps became an obsession . He then rebuilt his Tesla coil to move the magnetic field through him . He said it cured him of a dreadful depression . For him , this life altering tragedy turned into a blessing in disguise . He called the type of energy he created , Life Force , or Nerve Force . He claimed that it was the greatest of all doctors – and no person afflicted with any disease of the mind or the body would fail to be benefited by some form of electricity .
Tesla was sort of a recluse . He spent most of his time in his lab inventing things . He never married as he felt it would interfere with his work – which he regretted later in his life . His autobiography says his inventions came to him as psychic visions .
He saw the spiral as a Universal symbol found in nature . He then decided to get a patent for it with two configurations that had totally different properties when energized by electricity . In 1894 a patent was granted for its use as an electromagnet . A simple spiral coil of wire has become an icon . I found it in cereal crops in England and it ’ s used in logos of famous foundations .
The coil came in two configurations . One produces a magnetic field , and in the second variation , the magnetic field is canceled when energized with electricity . NASA uses this version as an antenna to study the universe . Tesla said that he was the first
Tesla ’ s new wizardry of electricity for medicine was very different from what most people are familiar with . This was not shock therapy , like experiencing an electric jolt .
In his case , electricity created light and magnetic field therapy – and best of all – it had very few side effects . He said his staff became more intelligent . His high frequency currents that intensified the brain as a mental stimulant was not hurtful to the brain – it was beneficial .
Medical doctors that used magnetic field therapy were called quacks . With the formation of the AMA and the FDA , the attorney general of the United States then banned advertising for magnetic healing and that was - sort of - the end of Tesla ’ s medicine in North America .
