    "The Soviets included a picture with the device that showed an
    entire auditorium full of people asleep with the LIDA on the
    podium.  The LIDA put out an electric field, a magnetic field,
    light, heat, and sound (of course light and heat are
    electromagnetic waves, but at a much higher frequency than the low
    frequencies of the electric and magnetic fields mentioned above).

    "The purported purpose of the LIDA was for medical treatments;
    however, the North Koreans used it as a brain washing device
    during the Korean War.  The big question is:  what did they do
    with the technology?  It could have been improved and/or made
    smaller.  It is unlikely that they abandoned something that
    worked.

    "Direct communication with Ross Adey:  While he was testing the
    LIDA 4, an electrician was walking by and asked him where he got
    the "North Korean brain washing machine".  Ross told him that is
    was a Russian medical device.

    "The guy said he had been brain-washed by a device like that when
    he was in a POW camp. They placed the vertical plates alongside
    his head and read questions and answers to him.  He said he felt
    like he was in a dream.  Later when the Red Cross came and asked
    questions, he responded with what had been read to him while under
    the influence of the device.  He said he seemed to have no control
    over the answers.

    "The LIDA is PATENTED IN THE US.  Why?  They are not sold in the
    US--the only one I know that exists is the one that was at Loma
    Linda Medical Center where Adey used to work.  Eldon"

    "Soviet investigators have also developed a therapeutic device
    utilizing low frequency square wave modulation of a radiofrequency
    field.  This instrument known as the Lida was developed by L.
    Rabichev and his colleagues in Soviet Armenia, and is designed  for
    "the treatment of neuropsychic and somatic disorders, such as
    neuroses, psychoses, insomnia, hypertension, stammering, bronchia
    asthma, and asthenic and reactive disturbances".

    It is covered by U.S. Patent # 3,773,049.  In addition to the
    pulsed RF field, the device also delivers pulsed light, pulsed
    sound, and pulsed heat.  Each stimulus train can be independently
    adjusted in intensity and frequency.
