The '''Energy Cleaner by Crock''' (also ''energy stimulator'' or ''MexiStim'') is a battery operated [[Pseudomedicine|pseudomedical]] and patented<ref>US Patent 6016450: Method and apparatus for stimulating the healing of living tissue using aura therapy. Inventor: Leander Crock. Date of Patent: Jan. 8, 2000</ref> apparatus of the U.S. inventor Leander E. "Lee" Crock (1925 - 26. März 2010) from Ohio. In German-speaking countries the device is mostly unknown but advertised in the Internet by the Bavarian electrical engineer and activist [[Matt White]]. Literature on the method is unknown. Only the [[Esotericism|esoteric]] journal [NEXUS|Nexus]] took interest in the concept in an article in 2003.<ref>Nexus, engl. Ausgabe, Heft Sept./Okt. 2003</ref>

==The apparatus==
The Energy Cleaner is a very simple device. It contains ten batteries, which yield through parallel and series connection a voltage of 3 to 4,5 Volt. Sometimes the curios recommendation to use only the cheap and now superseded alkaline zinc-carbon batteries is given, while other vendors (e.g. MexiStim) say it doesn't matter and even a mains supply unit may be used. The voltage is applied to surface electrodes made of a mesh of wire or conductive plastic sheet and brought close to the body surface, according to the patent a distance of 5 cm to 30 cm is favourable. In some devices (''MexiStim Polarity Cycler'') an internal switch changes the polarity every 15 minutes. With older devices, the users had to switch the clips on the electrodes in regular intervals. This would alternately charge and discharge the ''cells'' and "restore" the "electrical system of the body", that is closely related to the aura. A single treatment would last for one to twelve hours.

==Alleged health effects==
According to the inventor his method, which can be called primitive, should improve all kinds of illnesses from different areas of medicine. Anecdotally mentioned are for example cancer, Alzheimer's disease, hearing loss, viral infections, epilepsy or heart disease. Crock also claimed that the application would lead to a [[detoxification]] of alleged pollutants from the body. The only side effect would be frequent urination, but this is obvious due to the recommendation to drink more water than usual, to"purge the toxins".

Healing properties are claimed to be confirmed using the non-scientific method of [[Aura photography]] and because of that the method is also called [[Auratherapy]] by its supporters.

Crock claims that he had treated more than 10,000 persons with his device in three years. His healing services in a 30-bed "clinic" led to trial for illegal practice of medicine. He had to rename his facility for treatment from "Therapeutic Clinic" to "Therapeutic Academy". At last he had called his company "EDK University" in Williamstown<ref>E-K University, PO BOX 313, Williamstown, WV 26187</ref>. The website of the "university"<ref>http://edkuniversity.com</ref> is no longer registered. As a teaser its customers did not need to pay until they would fare better. Crock sold the device through some kind of leasing, the possibility to rent the apparatus for 3,000 dollars per month.
