History and Work of Bob Beck

From developing a pocket radio in 1937 at the age of 12, followed by a talking flashlight at age 15, Bob showed an early affinity for new and emerging technologies. Bob also developed a portable photoflash, lighting equipment used in many of the MGM musicals of the early 1950s, and much, much more…Bob was a rare individual who could both identify a need and create the solution.

Beyond his many inventions, degrees and awards, Bob’s true passion was in designing technologies to improve the lives of others. His mission was simple:

“...to give people back to themselves and deliver them from the hands of vested interests...”

This calling manifested in the early 1990s with the creation of products for health—blood electrification (wrist pulsing); producing colloidal silver; an electro-magnetic pulse generator; an ozonator for drinking water; and in the 1980s, a Brain Tuner utilizing harmonic frequencies.

Bob’s passion was to create simple technologies for health. His desire was to make them readily available to people throughout the world. He lectured widely all over North America on what eventually became known as the Beck Protocol. He only charged to cover the cost of photocopying the instructions for building and using the units.

Like many of history’s creative geniuses, when Bob passed away in June 2002, he died without receiving widespread recognition for the health protocols he developed. Bob Beck’s health protocols are used today around the world by individuals from all walks of life who share in the desire to take their health and destiny into their own hands.

Bob shared his knowledge, his expertise, and his time freely during his lifetime. It is our mission to continue the legacy of his generous spirit.
