Improved Immortality Ring Designs
Hi, I just realized that some guitar pickups can be expensive. I do not know if any particular brand is more effective. My gut says that for rejeuvenation purposes, they will work the same. So, If you don't have that much money, here are plans to make your own: http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2006/04/how_to_make_a_guitarbass_picku.html (Alex's original design does not work for me, but this modification definitely has an effect.) I encourage everyone to post their improvements to this simple design and share their results! PARTY HARD! BTW, the instructions say to use Gorilla Glue. I recommend against it, because the ingredients are highly toxic if the vapors are inhaled. I know you may think, "Big deal! These new rings will just heal me anyway" but why take that chance? Alex's ring did not work for me, so this design may not work for you. However, I have a theory that, combined with AWESOME ROCK MUSIC, 75%-90% of people will feel at least some effect, even if you are already healthy. If it doesn't work for you, post your experience and maybe we can help fine-tune the design for you.

so, kamebazooka, how long have you been trying this method? And what does "6x" more powerful mean, anyway?

I am using the single coil pickup-ring design for a few weeks now, though I am constantly making adjustments and improvements. It is at least 6x as effective as Alex's design because there are 6 magnet elements compared to Alex's 1. If you are not having desired results with Alex's ring, I suggest giving this design a try. HOW YOU CAN TELL IF IT IS WORKING. You will feel a kind of energy or weight building up in your body. I got no such effect from Alex's ring, and only a little bit effect from the pickup design by itself (therefore it is 6x as effective). However, when I wear it while listening to LOUD ROCK MUSIC, I definitely notice a big difference! Heart beats faster. I feel more energy. How do I know that the pickup-ring makes a difference? I listen to the music with and without it. Right now I only have one coil pickup. I'm going to make or buy another and have two pickups, one for each hand.

What happens when you adjust the tone knobs? Do these affect your chi levels? What about effects pedals?

Ha ha! I dunno about effects pedals but you might have something there about tone knobs. I will have to learn more about electronics before adding that to the basic design. Any electrical experts here, please experiment with this too. We could be on to something big, and we need all our combined efforts to do it. Belive you can do it!

kamebazooka, how much did you pay for your pickup ? Thanks, Tami

I salvaged my pickup from an old guitar so I got it for free. There is no reason to spend a lot of money -- I posted a link earlier that shows how to build it for around $5. There are many reasons why this design is superior to Alex's original ring version, but here is another one: if the pickup does not work for you, you can use it for a guitar, and still ROCK OUT! On that note, does anyone know the recipe for chi flush/gorgeus pil? There is no reason to think it cannot be improved, and maybe it is cheaper for you to buy the ingredients yourself. LONG LIVE THE PARTY!

Just an update: Many people (I guess the majority) who use the rings don't feel any improvement, but I never heard of anyone who gets worse using the rings. However, I remembered there was an article a long time ago written by someone who tried the rings. According to the article, her heart started beating irregularly and she could not sleep. Obviously, she must of stopped using the rings before they did any damage, but who knows if she kept using them... Since the pickup designs are 6x as powerful as the Alex design, it might be 6x as dangerous. If you feel any strange effect from either the pickup or Alex designs, STOP IMMEDIATELY. The reason why I never heard of anyone having a problem is because people stop before it becomes a problem. However, it is very easy to think, "Well, I am feeling restless and agitated, this means I am being energized by the rings." If you cannot fall asleep, it may mean you are energized, but more likely it means it is having an unhealthy effect. Why take the risk? I have never worn the pickups overnight because they are simply too bulky. If you decide to do so, please exercise common sense. Remember, even water, taken to excess can harm the body. PARTY RESPONSIBLY!

kamebazooka , i have to disagree with your statement that the rings can be harmful. I too had fast heart beat the first time i used the rings. Please see my posts where i state that the rings have stopped ACNE, cleared wrinlkes, REGROWING HAIR.. Harmful ? not at all , those effects prove the rings are Defenitily bringing your body in good health - those are my effects from the rings..

You may be right that I am being overly cautious, but if the rings have power to heal, it must also have potential to harm. The only way rings can be completely harmless is if they have no effect at all. This is what I used to say to critics, "If the rings don't work, then they can't hurt you, right?" But now that I think about it, that attitude is irresponsible, because I believe the rings do work, and therefore there is a risk, no matter how small. The rings are helpful to you, but it may not be calibrated the same way for everyone. There might be even 1 person in 10000 where the rings will be quite harmful, the same way a person allergic to peanuts will get sick from what is otherwise a healthy food. Who knows for sure! If your heart beats faster, like after exercise or partying, then good, but if your heart beats rapid and irregularly, like you think you are going to die, then maybe it is time to stop! When you are wearing rings overnight, you may be too groggy to take it off. This is why I now recommend wearing magnet devices for short periods only, so you can monitor yourself. If you don't feel effect, try boosting power with pickup design or stacked magnets.

There are two new improvements I want to announce/try: 1. intensity controls for magnets -- there must be some way to calibrate the strength of the magnets by a dial. This way, you can adjust them to the setting that is optimal for you. I don't have any idea how to do this. FORUMERS I NEED YOUR EXPERTISE! 2. audio input cable -- by connecting the leads from the pickup to the leads from a stripped audio cable, you can send the signals from the pickup to an amplifier. However, does it work the opposite direction? That is, instead of connecting the cable to the input of an amplifier, connect it to the output of a music device. WILL THIS MAKE THE MAGNETS RESONATE WITH THE POWER OF ROCK? PARTY FOREVER!

its rather easy to control the intensity of an electromagnet, i am an electrhonics engeneer and its a piece of cacke for me, i don't know what you mean with resonate with rock , do you plan to feed current from your amplifier to the rings ? that would stimulate the earth chackra with rock music, i don't know what could happen that way.
