Wiring diagram

The Energy Cleaner by Crock (also energy stimulator or MexiStim) is a battery operated pseudomedical and patented 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 esoteric journal [NEXUS|Nexus]] took interest in the concept in an article in 2003.

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 Sometimes the curios recommendation to use only the cheap and now superseded alkaline zinc-carbon batteries is given, while other vendors (e.g. MexiStim) say it doesn't matter and even a mains supply unit may be used.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. The website of the "university" 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.
