The short version: only three published papers used Spooky2 equipment, and none was a controlled trial of a health condition. Nobody has tested Spooky2's Remote mode. The closest research is on other low-power frequency devices, and the most useful part for everyday users is the safety section near the end.

The short answer on Spooky2 research

So there are only three published papers that used Spooky2 equipment. None of them was a controlled trial of Spooky2 on a health condition, and nobody has published any test of Remote mode at all.

The closest real research is on other devices that work in a similar way. Basically, these are devices that send low-power frequencies through pads on the skin, plasma tubes or magnetic coils. Some of those studies are interesting, and I'll go through them below. But keep in mind that none of them tested Spooky2's frequency lists or its hardware.

No Spooky2 device is cleared by the FDA for any medical use. Spooky2 isn't listed in any of the FDA's device databases. Now that's a legal point, and it doesn't say anything about whether Spooky2 works or not. Basically, the lack of FDA clearance means nobody selling Spooky2 is allowed to say it treats, cures or prevents a disease.

And that rule has been enforced. In May 2020, the FTC sent Spooky2 Scalar a warning letter over a page about protecting yourself from COVID with the device. So on this site, I explain how to set up and use these devices. I don't say they treat anything, and I'd be careful with anyone who does.

Studies that used Spooky2 equipment

A jump study with Spooky Central (Cureus, 2025). Researchers in Bogotá used a Spooky Central SC1000 with a Phanotron plasma tube, set to 7.83 Hz, the Schumann frequency. Twenty boys aged 12 to 15 were split into two groups, and 19 of them were included in the final results. One group sat near the tube for an hour once a week for eight weeks. The antenna was hidden, so the boys didn't know whether the device was on.

One cancer case (Case Reports in Oncology, 2023). Ried and colleagues described one man with colon cancer that had spread to his liver. He used Spooky2 with a plasma bulb 40 times over four months, running programs from the Spooky2 database. His circulating tumor cell count dropped from 6.9 to 2.0 per mL over that time.

A COVID sound file (Cureus, 2021). This study used a Spooky2 COVID sound file as one part of a mixed protocol, with no control group. So it doesn't tell us anything about Spooky2 on its own.

What's been tested on Remote mode

So basically, nothing has been tested on Remote mode yet. There's no published test of a real sample versus a blank. There's also no measurement of anything reaching a person at a distance. And nobody independent has taken apart the Spooky2 Remote to see what's inside. Spooky2 says Remote mode works through quantum entanglement with your sample.

Something to note is that the only check Spooky2 offers is watching the Remote's two lights flash on a test preset. That shows the signal is reaching the Remote. But the flashing lights don't show that anything goes any further than the Remote.

What's been measured on Spooky2's hardware

The jump study above is also the only independent measurement of Spooky2's output I know of. The researchers checked the Spooky Central on an oscilloscope for over 1,000 seconds. Basically, an oscilloscope is a tool that shows an electrical signal on a screen. The Spooky Central put out the 7.83 Hz the researchers asked for, plus its harmonics, and the signal stayed steady. The field was strongest right next to the tube and dropped off fast within the first meter. That lines up with Spooky2's advice to sit close to the plasma tube.

There's no independent oscilloscope test I know of for the GeneratorX Pro or the XM Pro. And the product pages for both don't list any electrical safety certification, like UL or CE.

The closest research: TheraBionic

Now this is the most interesting research for anyone using Spooky2, because the TheraBionic research tests the same basic idea. Basically, the idea is that specific frequencies, even at very low power, can have specific effects. The device is the TheraBionic P1. It sends a radio signal at 100 mW through a spoon you hold in your mouth.

In September 2023, the FDA approved the TheraBionic P1 for advanced liver cancer after two other treatments have failed. This is a special kind of FDA approval for rare conditions that only needs "probable benefit," not proof that it works.

Something worth noting is that the FDA's summary says TheraBionic shouldn't be used by people taking calcium channel blockers, and it lists vitamin C as an example. Nobody has tested whether that warning carries over to Spooky2. But it's the only measured supplement interaction I know of for any low-power frequency device.

So ultimately, this research suggests the choice of frequency can matter, even at very low power. But TheraBionic is a different device, delivered a different way, with its own frequencies.

Magnetic coils (PEMF). PEMF, or pulsed electromagnetic field, uses magnetic coils. A 2020 review combined the results of 15 trials that compared PEMF to a placebo for osteoarthritis. PEMF beat placebo on pain, stiffness and physical function, and the specific settings didn't seem to matter. An earlier 2009 review of 9 knee trials found better daily function but no clear effect on pain. Spooky2 sells its own PEMF coil, but the Spooky2 PEMF coil wasn't one of the devices tested.

A similar plasma device for fatigue (2025). The RIFETECH-Plasma was tried on 113 people with fatigue, about twice a week for four weeks. Their fatigue scores improved by 13.8 points and their quality-of-life scores by 8.6. There was no comparison group, and the authors say a controlled trial is needed.

Frequency-specific microcurrent. This is the closest relative of Spooky2's contact mode, where current runs through pads on your skin. Two small studies in 17 people with scleroderma found hand function improved by an average of 40%. There was no fake-treatment group to compare against.

Who shouldn't use Spooky2, according to Spooky2

Spooky2's own guides list these warnings, and I'd take them seriously:

Pacemakers and contact mode: what's been measured

The closest research from outside Spooky2 comes from TENS units, which also send current through pads on the skin. In one study of 51 pacemaker patients, TENS caused no interference. But in two other patients, a standard heart test looked fine. But longer monitoring did catch interference. And in one patient with a defibrillator, interference showed up six months after a clean first test.

So ultimately, if you have any heart implant, I'd stick with Spooky2's own rule and skip contact mode completely.

How I'd read all this Spooky2 research

So basically, Spooky2 is a device with a lot of user reports and almost no published research of its own. The related research shows that low-power frequencies can have effects you can measure in some studies. But none of it tells you what Spooky2 will or won't do for a health problem.

Now the lack of research doesn't mean Spooky2 is worthless, and it doesn't mean Spooky2 works. It just means the testing hasn't been done yet. So if you have a health condition, I'd recommend talking with your doctor and keeping up the care you're already getting. And if you have questions about any study here, feel free to email me at contact@biofrequencybuddy.com. I look forward to reading as many messages as I can, and your questions help me improve these guides.

My take

Read the safety section before anything else. If you're pregnant or have a heart implant, Spooky2's own rules are stricter than most people realize.

Be wary of anyone promising a cure. Nobody has done the studies that would back up a cure claim, and a cure is not something a seller is allowed to claim.
