What’s in the box
- 1 × Dr Hulda Clark Zapper

- 2 × lead wires, which can be plugged in either way around
- Velvet pouch and instructions
Please note: we do not include a 9V battery for overseas orders, due to customs restrictions.
Before you start: safety
Do not use the device if any of the following apply:
- You have a pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, insulin pump, cochlear implant, or any other implanted electronic or metallic medical device.
- You are pregnant or suspect you might be.
- You have a history of epilepsy or seizures.
- You have active bleeding, open wounds, severe skin irritation at the electrode sites, or an allergy to copper.
- You are driving, operating machinery, in water, or sleeping.
General safety:
- Use on clean, intact skin only. Do not place electrodes on the head, throat or chest, or directly over broken skin.
- Keep away from children and pets. This product is for adult use only.
- Do not use near water, in the bath or shower, or in very humid environments.
- If you experience discomfort, dizziness, headache, palpitations or skin irritation, stop immediately and rinse the skin with water. Seek medical advice if needed.
How the zapper works
- The unit outputs a pulsed direct current (DC) square wave with a positive offset, at 30 kHz.
- The two copper electrodes complete a circuit through the outer layer of the skin. You may feel a mild tingling sensation. This is normal, and it should never be painful.
First time set up
- Power: insert a fresh 9V battery, observing the polarity.
- Connect the electrodes: plug the leads into the unit and into your electrodes.
- Prepare the skin: wash your hands with mild soap and water, then lightly moisten them with water or a dab of conductive gel for better contact.
- Placement: hold one copper electrode in each hand.
- Start gently: turn the device on. After a short time you should feel a gentle, comfortable tingling.
Using the device: a simple routine
Option A, quick start (single run): power on and run the zapper for 7 to 10 minutes at a comfortable level, then turn it off and put the electrodes down.
Option B, the traditional 7, 20, 7, 20, 7 routine (popularised in Dr Hulda Clark’s books): 7 minutes on, 20 minutes off, 7 minutes on, 20 minutes off, 7 minutes on. Keep the sensation comfortable, with no pain and no hot spots, and re moisten your hands if the sensation fades.
How often you use it is a personal choice. Many people choose daily or a few times a week. If you are unsure, start with 3 times a week and notice how you feel.
Good practice
- Keep it simple: holding one electrode in each hand is the easiest placement.
- Skin care: after sessions, rinse your hands and apply a neutral moisturiser if your skin feels dry.
- Hydration: drink water before and after sessions.
Cleaning and care
- Electrodes: wipe with a slightly damp cloth (water only) and dry. Avoid harsh cleaners.
- Unit: wipe with a dry cloth and keep the ports free of moisture.
- Storage: keep in a cool, dry place. Remove the 9V battery if not used for more than 2 weeks, to prevent leakage.
Troubleshooting
No power or won’t turn on: check the battery is the right way round and has charge, or try a new alkaline 9V battery. Make sure the power switch is fully on.
No sensation: re moisten your hands or use conductive gel. Check both leads are fully inserted and the cables aren’t damaged.
Hot spots or stinging: re moisten your hands and make sure you have even contact. Do not grip too tightly in one spot.
Skin redness or itching: stop use, rinse your skin and rest for 24 to 48 hours. Try a shorter session next time. If it persists, stop using the device and consult a professional.
Device cuts out mid session: the battery is probably low. Replace the 9V battery and restart.
