Hi vator, There could be one very simple reason why the rings are having such a negative effect on you.Try this experiment, take the 2 rings & try putting the 2 + sides against each other, if they are correct, then they should repell each other.Also take 1 ring with the + side & 1 with the - side, they should attract each other.If this does not happen then the rings are wrong, & you should send them back to Alex for a replacement. It's just a thought, I'm sure this happened once before, can't remember when though.It would explain your symptoms, this is what generally happens when people wear the rings incorrectly. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice Paulus, My rigns are ok, in fact I started last december building my owns, after feeling bad and having rechecked several times polarities I ordered from Chiu the originals, but it was the same. I have made several pairs of rings, and tried with a weaker version but sonner or later depending on intensity they'll affect me negatively. True is, I perceived a skin improvement, clearer eyes but the negative more than offsets the benefit. Also, these days I'm taking gingseng pills wich I notice increase negative effects, maybe because of more blood circulation and I guess that's why this time my left eye was hurted so quick and intense (still today, 2 days after wearing them I feel ache at it). If I changed polatiries (I use them always (-) at right pinky because it affects me the less) then it would be my rigth eye the hurted!. Ah!, and I also tested both + up just for the sake of it, I had to take them off in 1 minute because I felt like dying.

Here is a simple schematic for how to make the pickup to audio device adapter. TRY IT OUT. You only need: 1. single-coil guitar pickup 2. audio cable (diagram says 1/4", but 1/8" fits portable devices like ipod, etc..) I am wary of adding amplifier devices to this, but there should be no danger using it with most audio devices.

the PERFECT magnet devices? Is such a thing possible? I didn't think so, but I have found a new approach for the magnet devices that may lead to PERFECT MAGNET. I am still experimenting with pickups but let me just tell you that this new approach is completely different from all other magnet devices before, and if it works the way I think it does, it will BLOW THEM ALL AWAY. But, this is just a hunch right now. I am still interested in the pickup design as it may help. But I need all your experiences with ring modifications for this new idea. WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER FOR PARTY FOREVER

Do you just wear this design on one hand side or both sides?

I only have it on one side, but if you have two pickups, you can try to make a kind of hand-brace. I have not tried it myself but I have achieved similar effect by wearing it on top, then on bottom. There seems to be a residual phantom effect. When I noticed this, I started thinking that this could be the key to develop the PERFECT MAGNET system. Imagine that there must be a PERFECT configuration that maximizes the benefits of a magnet device. By PERFECT, that means it is optimal for your body. At first I think such a thing is impossible. All magnets have impurities, and how can you be certain that the combination you are wearing is the ABSOULUTE BEST for you? But when I discovered the phantom effect, I realized THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING. How does the phantom effect work? Is there a residual impression left by the missing magnet? If I am correct, there is no physical magnetism left and therefore the displacement must occur on a NON-PHYSICAL plane.

You are just damaging your cell, you might not see it now but the side effect will show up later.. you have to wear them on both side

Maybe it is damaging cell, or maybe wearing it on both sides will damage cells. Everyone is different and you need to DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU. For me, I don't wear it on both sides and it works fine. No damage cells for months. ONLY SIDE EFFECT IS ROCKNROLLL!

Here is an update to magnet ring improvements: For tone and volume controls for the pickup, I could not connect these properly. (Bad solder connections) But I was surprised to find that they STILL seemed to work. When I turned it up or down, I felt differences in quality and intensity of ROCKNROLL CONCLUSION: The controls are a cosmetic feedback for the body to react to -- your body does the work, recalibrating itself for the magnet So from this, I wonder, since the controls are cosmetic, could that apply to the magnet as well? You may first need a strong magnet so that the body can hold that effect in memory, but once it is there, your body can retain that memory, so IT CAN HAVE THE MAGNET effect WITHOUT a magnet there! Sounds unbelievable? I don't know if it is true yet, but it is worth experimenting. The problem is, once you stop using the magnet, your body believes the magnet is gone -- how do you trick the body into thinking the magnet is there without a magnet? Now you may say, "WHY BOTHER? JUST USE THE MAGNET." This is why: almost everyone I hear who uses magnet devices need some sort of adjustment -- what if there was a way to calibrate the magnet to be PERFECT for YOUR BODY TYPE? Calibrating a real magnet is tricky, but calibrating the MEMORY of a MAGNET -- that should be FLAWLESS. I don't suggest throwing away your magnets yet, but try this modification: connect a dial control to your magnet device -- how you do it is not important -- it is just a visual feedback for your body to react to. Fiddle with the controls until you feel improvement. PARTY FOREVER!

UPDATE: I used to have RSI pain from typing but I believed my improved pickup design fixed it where the alex rings couldn't. However, how could I be sure? Well, I tried this experiment: a week ago I stopped using any kind of magnet device and waited for RSI to come back. It didn't. So then I did something a little stupid -- I deliberately tried to make it come back, typing without breaks, playing tennis for hours. Well, IT CAME BACK. So, I started the pickup-design treatment on one hand, and put an alex ring on the other. GUESS WHICH HAND HEALED FIRST? In fact, I believe the alex ring inhibited treatment. Before, I used pickup on only one hand, and both hands were fixed. Now, the hand with the alex ring still has RSI pain. If you have RSI, try this experiment and confirm it. This may only work for me. I want to see if it works for other people. PARTY ON -- RSI FREE!
