Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around measuring the frequency, voltage, and current associated with the human body. Participants explore equipment recommendations and methods for conducting these measurements, with a focus on practical approaches for beginners.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • A participant expresses interest in measuring the human body's frequency, voltage, and current, seeking recommendations for equipment and methods.
  • Another participant questions the sources of information that prompted the inquiry, suggesting that this context is necessary for responsible responses.
  • One participant mentions that their doctor measures their body's frequency, implying a medical context, but does not clarify what is meant by "frequency."
  • There are inquiries about the proper placement of measuring devices like voltmeters and oscilloscopes for measuring body voltage over time.
  • Some participants express skepticism about the validity of the claims regarding the human body's frequency and voltage, with one suggesting that the inquiry may stem from unreliable sources.
  • Links to external sources are shared, but there is contention regarding their relevance and credibility, with one participant labeling them as potentially dubious.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the validity of the claims regarding the human body's frequency and voltage. There are competing views on the necessity of providing credible sources for the discussion, and skepticism is expressed about the information being discussed.

Contextual Notes

Participants highlight the need for proper citations and references to support claims, indicating a concern for the reliability of the information being shared. There is also a lack of clarity regarding the definitions and context of "frequency" as it relates to the human body.

I am newbie in this forum as well as in this field.

Recently, I learned human body has certain frequency.
I want to experiment measuring the frequency, volt, current
upon the human body.

any recommended equipment and the best way to measure all three?
1. frequency
2. volt
3. currency

Thanks -
 
Physics news on Phys.org
May I ask as to what sources you are basing your question.
This would greatly help in responsible comments from us.
 
My body has a frequency. The doctor measures it every time I go.
 
I am just reading a book. It has a human body has a very minute frequency, voltage, etc. I just want to measure myself. That's all.

If I want to measure the voltage of my body, how should I locate the voltmeter?
If I want to measure the voltage different over time, I heard I could use oscilloscope.
But, then, how should I locate the probe? Hummm.

Still puzzling -
 
Skeptic2, you kidding - Your doctor is physicist? Heart rate? You are talking about? Ho-Ho-Ho.

You need to supply us an exact references. This will not do.

Please write the author, title, book publisher, and year it was published. This is the type of citation that we require on here.

Zz.
 
It is so strange. I can find this information in wiki.
I have already found. Why they need for reference? The question you asked is more skeptic. Rather pushing me out from this forum, I presume.

The two links given seem to be about completely different subjects. The Wikipedia page is about infrasound (produced by external sources) and the human body's reaction to it. The blog post is about electrical frequencies of some kind that are supposedly associated with the human body, foods, etc.

I haven't found any references to this in legitimate-looking medical sources, so I strongly suspect that this is just another example of medical crackpottery.
