VERY STRANGE--I was thinking about that TODAY and its possible application 
to Tesla coils.  I am referring to that "healing" lightning strike--some 
time afterward, the woman was running and jumping--I saw it it on Unsolved 
Mysteries several years ago.  I always thought there are MANY undiscovered 
medical uses for the Tesla resonator!
