GEOMAGNETIC FIELDS AND SCHUMANN RESONANCES

The Earth has its own magnetic fields, produced primarily by fluxes in the molten metal in the outer core of the planet. This magnetic field extends from the interior of the planet to where it meets the solar wind, which emanates from the Sun. The main purpose of this geomagnetic field is to protect the planet from solar winds, which would otherwise destroy the protective ozone layer in our atmosphere.

Earth’s magnetic fields are comprised of a variety of sources, including the overall “static” field of the planet, magnetic rock formations, Schumann resonances, solar flares, tectonic plate movements, telluric currents on the planet’s surface, and cosmic radiation. Each of these contributes in its own important way to the overall magnetic environment in which humans have evolved – the human body is germinated, develops as an embryo, and grows into the human adult totally immersed throughout its entire lifespan within the Earth’s magnetic fields.

Because these magnetic fields are non-constant, currents are always being induced in a human body in motion. Even simple movements like bending or rotating the arms can induce currents of varying strengths within the body. Life and human functioning is dependent on these currents. We routinely see that when people stop moving around, they lose muscle mass, vitality, and function. Space program managers are keenly aware that it is not just a lack of gravity that has a negative impact on astronauts’ bodies, but the lack of the Earth’s magnetic field.

Along with Earth’s basic static field, the Schumann resonances make up what people tend to refer to as a set of “earth-based frequencies.” The Schumann resonances are a set of peaks in the extremely low frequency portion of the Earth’s electromagnetic spectrum, between about 3Hz and 60Hz, with obvious peaks at 7.83 Hz, 14.3 Hz, 20.8 Hz, 27.3 Hz, and 33.8 Hz. It is likely the magnetite present in human tissues that transmit the frequencies of the Schumann resonances throughout the brain. These resonate with environmental EMFs to create uniform frequency synchronization throughout the brain.

It is generally accepted in the community that the Schumann resonances are an important baseline from which the human brain maintains homeostasis. This range of frequencies has also been shown in various studies to be an important part of how the body heals itself. Schumann frequencies resonate mostly on the same frequency bands as the human brain and therefore can strongly affect brainwave function.

In addition to these naturally occurring magnetic fields, the Earth is now also bathed in artificial electric and magnetic fields created by man. These include televisions, microwaves, power lines, and cell phones, among many other sources.

HISTORY OF MAGNETIC FIELD THERAPY

WHAT IS MAGNETIC FIELD THERAPY?

On the simplest level, magnetic field therapy refers to using magnets to treat illness and maintain health. Both the Earth and the human body naturally produce electromagnetic fields. However, we can also produce dynamic electromagnetic fields using specifically designed technology. Those who practice magnetic field therapy believe that interactions between the human body, the Earth, and other electromagnetic fields can cause both physical and emotional changes in humans. Practitioners of this type of therapy also believe that the body’s electrical and electromagnetic fields need to be balanced to maintain optimal health. They apply magnetic field therapy outside the body using magnetic fields that can be:

WHAT IS A MAGNETIC FIELD?

An illustration of a magnetic field is used to describe how a magnetic force distributes in spaces around and within a magnetic object or the source of a magnetic field. Most people are familiar with everyday magnetic objects and it’s widely known that magnets have two poles. Depending on the orientation of any two magnets, attraction or repulsion exists. With opposite poles, there will be attraction, while there will be repulsion with two similar poles. The region that extends around a magnet where either attraction or repulsion occurs is known as the magnetic field.

What are magnetic fields

Our Earth is actually a giant magnet, getting its magnetic field from circulating electric currents within its molten metal core. The reason a compass points north is because its magnetic needle is suspended so as to spin freely and align itself with the Earth’s magnetic field. In fact, what we know as the North Pole is truly a south magnetic pole attracting the north magnetic pole of a compass needle.

There is a difference between the magnetic field produced by a magnet compared to that produced by current flowing through a wire. The magnetic field from a magnet is static, that is, it is not in motion. It’s just there. The magnetic field produced by a current fly through a wire is dynamic and based on the frequency of the flow of the current. The current flowing through power lines has a frequency of between 50 to 60 Hz for the most part. That means the magnetic field is pulsing as the current pulses, and is therefore dynamic as opposed to static. Hence the term pulsed electromagnetic fields [PEMFs]. As a result of the pulsations of PEMFs, they are therapeutically more dynamic as well with a vast range of therapeutic options.

ANCIENT HISTORY

The use of magnetic fields for healing is not modern. Long before the reasoning for their benefits was understood, ancient medicine was incorporating magnetic therapies into their medical therapies. Around 4000BC Hindus refer to treatment of disease with magnetized stones (lodestones). In 2000BC, Chinese physicians developed written protocols for using lodestones on acupuncture points, as described in “The Yellow Emperor’s Book of Internal Medicine.” There is some evidence that Egyptian physicians used lodestones with some regularity, and that Cleopatra herself wore a small magnet in an attempt to preserve her youth. In ancient Greece, Hippocrates was reported to use magnets for pain, and even had people in his healing centers lay their heads on lodestones to alleviate their headaches.

EARLY AND MID-MODERN HISTORY

In the early 1500s, Swiss physician and alchemist Paracelsus, credited as the founder of toxicology, appeared to have used lodestones to treat seizures and psychiatric disorders. He used the then-undiscovered or otherwise misunderstood principles of magnetism to guide his practices in chemistry and symptom management.

In the mid-18th century, German physician Franz Mesmer developed a theory called “animal magnetism” to describe what he saw as the natural energy transference between all things. (This theory was later used by the Scottish physician James Brain to develop hypnosis and is sometimes equated with the Qi of Traditional Chinese Medicine.) Mesmer treated his patients with magnets, particularly in an effort to help psychiatric disorders.

In the late-18th century, German physician Samuel Hahnemann, widely known as the father of alternative medicine’s homeopathy, was reputed to use magnets in his treatment programs.

In the 19th century, the science around magnetic fields and electromagnetism began to come into focus. English scientist Michael Faraday contributed a great deal to the study of electromagnetism, including the discovery of electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and electrolysis. Faraday went on to create the first electromagnetic rotary device, forming the foundation of electric motors. His work in electromagnetism established for the first time that a changing magnetic field produces an electric field. This would later be named “Faraday’s Law”, one of the four Maxwell equations. Shortly before his death, he proposed the concept of electromagnetic fields – forces extending into the space around a conductor. He did not live to see the eventual acceptance of his theory.

Late in the 19th century, Russian engineer Georges Lakhovsky became the first to posit that each cell had its own frequency oscillating at a specific amplitude. He developed what is likely the first “energy medicine” device called the Multiple Wave Oscillator or Radio-Cellulo-Oscillator. The device produced a wide range of therapeutic frequencies, from ELF all the way up to gigahertz radiowaves.

20TH CENTURY

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla contributed to the development of the alternating current (AC) electrical system we use today, and discovered the rotating magnetic field (now the basis of most AC machinery). Tesla had an intimate understanding of the relationship between electricity and magnetic fields, and developed ideas for a huge number of inventions we use to this day: dynamos, induction motors, radar, X-Rays, and remote control being just a few. While the classic electrical device is the Tesla Coil (which produces streamers of electricity in a glass bulb – common attractions in children’s museums) a lesser-known electrical coil was also invented by Tesla. This is the standard magnetic loop coil seen in all PEMF systems today.

In the 20th century, sophisticated static magnetic therapies were being developed in the Czech Republic, including checkerboard-designed magnetic foils. PEMF devices began there as well, and were introduced in Hungary in the early 1980s. Soon thereafter, PEMF therapy spread to other parts of Europe, with a wide variety of devices being made available through a growing number of manufacturers.Simultaneously, Eastern European use and research began to blossom.

The 1980s also saw the introduction of the first FDA-approved PEMF system, intended for use as a bone stimulator to treat nonunion fractures. The seminal book “Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life” was published in 1986 by Dr. Robert Becker and Gary Selden. This book is important because it was one of the first descriptions of the body as an electromagnetic apparatus and therefore very susceptible to magnetic field therapies. With the wide variety of devices available in Europe, by the late 1990s, much of Europe was already familiar with PEMF therapy.

The 1990s also saw a discussion about the use of PEMF devices in space. It remains a common misconception that PEMFs were or are used in space. The international space station is in low Earth orbit, well within the Earth’s magnetic field. As such, there really is little necessity for the application of external magnetic fields to maintain a functional biomagnetic field. In a discussion with the medical director of Russia’s space program at a meeting in Germany, it was made very clear that PEMFs are not being used on astronauts, but that the study of what would happen to the body were it outside of the Earth’s magnetic field is of great interest and importance as we consider venturing further out into space.

21ST CENTURY

There continue to be exciting new developments in the study of magnetic field stimulation of the body. There is a rapidly growing body of evidence to support the use of high intensity PEMFs, especially for the brain. This technology was developed primarily to avoid the need for electrical stimulation, which was effective, but incredibly uncomfortable and widely considered barbaric. Even so, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) had been used for decades to treat psychiatric disorders. High intensity PEMF stimulation has been shown to have similar beneficial effects without the invasive or otherwise unbearable components of ECT, such as convulsions.

This specific type of PEMF therapy is known as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). A high intensity coil is placed at the side of the head. The intensity of the magnetic field produced by the coil is increased until it is sufficient enough to cause a muscle contraction of the hand. Then the intensity is either maintained or lowered slightly, and the coil is moved to the part of the brain requiring the treatment, depending on the psychiatric indication of interest. Studies are also being done with these high intensity magnetic fields to treat other parts of the body for a huge variety of medical conditions.

In the meantime, other lower intensity PEMF systems continue to be developed, including for transcranial applications. Development of new systems is being made easier in the US by the recently updated FDA position, allowing PEMF systems to be marketed without FDA approval if their primary purpose is for the management of wellness.

MAGNETIC SCIENCE REVISITED

To understand magnetic science is to understand magnetism. Magnetism is one element of the combined electro-magnetic force. This term refers to any physical phenomena that arise from force caused by magnets. For clarity, magnets are objects that produce attraction to or repulsion from other objects. Motion of electrically charged particles gives rise to magnetism. Although all materials experience magnetism, only ferromagnetism can be felt by people, with rare exception. Ferromagnetism is the strongest type of magnetism and is responsible for the common magnetism encountered in everyday life. An example of a ferromagnet is a refrigerator magnet. This type of attraction was the quality of magnetism first apparent to the ancient world, as well as to us today.

HOW MAGNETIC THERAPY WORKS

The term “magnetic therapy” refers to various practices ranging from wearing a magnetized bracelet, to sleeping on magnetized mattresses, to therapy involving magnetic field machinery, small and large. When it comes to the effects that  magnetic fieldshave on the body, there are multiple theories, all correct to some degree, none of which completely explain the magnetic phenomena. However, the general consensus is that magnetic fields act upon the body at the molecular level, by enhancing or affecting the natural electrical charges in the tissues that correct disruptions. According to laboratory studies, magnetic fields can modulate the transport of ions and related neuronal and cell activity. Through these actions magnetic field therapies have been found in hundreds of research studies to have benefits in numerous health conditions.

ILLUSTRATING MAGNETIC FIELDS

There are two ways to illustrate a magnetic field, with vectors or field lines. When we describe a magnetic field mathematically, it is known as a vector field, which we can plot directly as a set of vectors on a grid. Each vector points as a compass would, with a length that is dependent on the strength of the magnetic force. Alternatively, we can represent forces within a vector field using field lines. These disperse within a grid pattern and connect vectors with smooth lines.

Useful properties of a field-line description includes that field lines:

MEASURING MAGNETIC FIELDS

There are two aspects of a magnetic field (a vector quantity) that we need to measure: its strength and its direction. While measuring the direction is quite simple, measuring the strength is significantly more challenging. We can use a magnetic compass to measure direction (the same kind of magnetic compass used for navigation using the Earth’s magnetic field). On the other hand, it takes a magnetometer to measure the strength of a magnetic field. Magnetometers have only been around since the 19th century and most function by exploiting the force electrons feel as they move through magnetic fields.

MORE ABOUT MAGNETIC FORCE

A magnetic force is a result of the electromagnetic force (one of the four basic forces of nature) and is due to the motion of charges. Two objects with charge of the same direction of motion will have a magnetic attraction to each other. In a similar fashion, two objects with charge moving in opposite directions will have a repulsion to each other. Essentially, a magnetic force arises as a result of interacting magnetic fields.

USES OF MAGNETIC THERAPY

Scientific evidence is constantly accumulating to support positive results of magnetic therapy. A significant amount of this is summarized in the book Power Tools for Health by Dr. William Pawluk, MD, MSc. Practitioners of magnetic therapy report that individuals find pain relief and other clinical benefits for the following conditions:

magnetic field therapy

IS MAGNETIC FIELD THERAPY SAFE?

While there are certain people who shouldn’t use magnetic field therapy, it is not considered to have complications or negative side effects when used in conjunction with conventional medical treatment. Before trying magnetic field therapy or another complementary health practice, consult with your doctor about how it may relate to any existing health conditions.  Pulsed magnetic field therapy has not yet been proven to be safe in pregnant women, and should be avoided or used with caution in individuals with implants or medical devices like pacemakers or implanted defibrillators. They should also be avoided in individuals with organ transplants since safety has not been established.

THE FUTURE OF MAGNETIC THERAPY

Magnetic field diagnostic techniques like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are becoming increasingly popular. You could even say that magnets and other electromagnetic devices are approaching mainstream medical acceptance for both diagnostics and treatment. There is hope among magnetic therapy practitioners that the medical community will begin to understand that this type of therapy has effective and predictable results. Furthermore, they hope that more will understand the safety of magnetic therapy since it doesn’t introduce foreign substances into the body as long-term medications do.

Predictions by proponents of magnetic field therapy include mainstream use for:

INTRO TO ELECTROMAGNETIC SCIENCE

Magnetic field therapy can be effective in a wide range of health conditions. But before it is used for healing, it is important to have a basic understanding of some of the physical characteristics of magnetic science, including electric and magnetic fields and some of their actions on the body.

All matter is made up of moving particles. Forces exist in the space around these moving (electrical) particles. Those forces are magnetic fields. By definition, force is an interaction that changes the motion of an object.

An electric field is the force field created by the flow of electricity (caused by the attraction and repulsion of electric charges). A magnetic field is the force field created as a consequence of the flow of electricity. Electric fields and magnetic fields always exist in tandem – one cannot exist without the other. An electromagnetic field, then, is the combination of an electric field and a magnetic field.

Let’s back up briefly and talk about charge. Electric charges can either be positive or negative. Positively charged substances repel other positively charged substances, but attract negatively charged substances. Conversely, negatively charged substances repel other negatively charged substances, and attract positively charged substances.

Our bodies are fundamentally electric. When a person goes into cardiac arrest, for example, a defibrillator is used to apply electrical energy to the heart so that it can reestablish a normal rhythm.

So, the electricity that flows through our body creates electromagnetic fields. External magnetic fields and the body’s native magnetic fields interact regularly. Because of these interactions, a magnetic field passing through the body will have an electromagnetic effect on a cellular level.

Electric and magnetic fields control our chemistry by changing and influencing the motion of charged particles. This movement stimulates a vast array of chemical and electric actions in tissues, helping them rebalance or heal themselves where necessary. Additionally, this increased motion of ions and electrolytes helps cells increase their available energy by as much as 500%.

Electromagnetic fields affect the charge of the cell membrane, rebalancing it so that membrane channels can open up. These channels are like the doors and windows of a house – by opening them, oxygen and nutrients are better able to enter the cell, and carbon dioxide and waste are more easily eliminated from the cell. This helps to rebalance and restore optimum cell function.

If you restore and rebalance enough cells, they will all work more efficiently. Cells of the same type come together to make tissues, which come together to make organs. By restoring or maintaining cellular function, you will in turn restore or maintain organ function, allowing the entire body to function better. This is the basis for magnetic field therapy – affecting and improving basic cellular function in order to combat a variety of health conditions and when possible, prevent cellular damage from happening in the first place.

Dr. Tennant PEMF Comparison

HOW DOES THE DR. TENNANT PEMF DEVICE COMPARE WITH YOURS?

Transcript: This is a good question that I get not infrequently, and it has to do with Dr. Tennant and one of his devices.  Dr. Jerry Tennant uses a device called an Avasyia. He has a whole comprehensive approach to using his system. The Avasyia is based on a device called a Scenar.  I have an Avasyia device, and I’ve used it.  Avasyia is basically electrical stimulation.  When you have electrical stimulation you have electromagnetic stimulation, but there’s a difference between the two. The difference is that electrical stimulation is applying directly to the tissue. In a sense, it’s a form of electrocution, but it’s controlled electrocution. You’re actually doing electrical stimulation directly, you’re taking an electrical wire coil through an electrode and applying it directly to the skin.

That’s called capacitively coupled electrical stimulation. PEMFs cause current production in the body. They’re inductively coupled, so they’re causing the body to produce the correct, not introducing current. It’s a very natural approach to having an increased electrical charge in the body.

The Avasyia is putting the charge into the body. It still is very effective, but it’s uncomfortable, you have to go to somebody, typically, to use it. You can do it yourself, but it doesn’t heal deep. It doesn’t stimulate the individual cells.

One of the things I learned early on with magnetic field therapy is that acupuncture works indirectly. You put a needle into your hand and you get an indirect effect on the rest of the body. That’s good because it does help with healing in general, helping to improve the vitality of the body and stimulating the brain and other organs indirectly through parasympathetic and sympathetic balancing – there are a number of mechanisms. The difference between PEMF therapy and acupuncture and the electrical stimulation therapies is that you’re treating the cell directly.

When the magnetic field goes into the tissues, it goes right through the tissues, completely through the body. The body doesn’t stop a magnetic field. Electrical stim is stopped at the tissue, it doesn’t go deep at all. If you want it to go deep into the body, you’ll have to increase the intensity and if you increase the intensity, you increase the risk of burning the tissues. Electrical fields are used to burn warts and scars and lesions and so on.  We use them medically, therapeutically to burn the tissue on purpose.  But you don’t have to worry about that with magnetic field therapy.  It goes right on through and as it’s going through, it’s increasing charge in the body. That increase in charge, NATP, plus all the other actions that magnetic fields have caused healing to happen in the body. That’s why it’s important.

That’s why it’s also safer to use around the brain. There are electrical stimulation systems that include implanting stimulation devices into the brain for Parkinson’s and other diseases. Well, that’s invasive and it causes problems, it causes damage by itself. Magnetic field therapy doesn’t have that problem because it goes right through, it doesn’t stay in the brain, and it increases charge in the brain tissues themselves directly, so that becomes very safe.

That’s why I recommend it compared to the Tennant machine. Now again, it’s a personal choice. Tennant therapies work very well for many people, and they’re very local in their therapies. I’ve tried many different devices. I’ve looked at many different devices, I’ve purchased many devices, I’ve done many different types of therapies and I’ve compared all of these therapies.  They all have value. Combining magnetic field therapy with other therapies produces often more benefit than any one therapy individually. But if you’re going to spend $1,000-$3,000 or more on a magnetic therapy system then you have a much wider range of possible uses for that system to help you than in these other therapies. The value factor for PEMF therapy is much better than the value factor for most other therapies. They tend to be very siloed in what they do.

That’s why I, as a physician, have determined that if I’m going to try to provide the most value, the most benefit for the most people, for the most problems, PEMF therapy is generally going to do that the best. It’s not the only solution. We do combine things, for example, PEMF therapy is very helpful with ozone therapy. Ozone therapy and PEMF therapy alone don’t do as well as the two combined. The same thing happens with light therapies, nutritional therapies, and so on.  Combining them is effective.  But if you have limited funds, I feel you’re going to get the most mileage out of your PEMF system.

Beamers & IMRS PEMF Devices

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE BEMER AND SWISS-MADE IMRS SYSTEM?

Transcript: The next question,  from Debra,  is about eNeura.  So, the eNeura is an FDA approved PEMF system for migraines. It’s a higher intensity system, but the problem is you don’t own it. Some insurance companies cover it, not everybody does. It works. They got FDA approval. So this becomes politics, right? They got FDA approval as prevention for migraines because they can’t compete with the companies that are selling drugs and injections and Botox and you name it for the treatment of migraines.

So in other words, when you have a migraine, medicine trumps everything from the FDA’s perspective. So as a result, they got approval for prevention and you put this device on the back of your neck and you treat yourself every day as a prevention.  Now, they can’t say this because they didn’t get approval from the FDA to say it, but it would treat the migraine too.  If you happen to own an eNeura, if you catch your migraine early enough, you may be able to abort it, so that it may not progress to becoming a full-blown migraine.

But you don’t own it.  Insurance has to cover it. It’s expensive. It’s at least $3,000 or more. And it’s a rental.  Basically, what you’re doing is you’re getting a rental from the company to do it. A doctor has to prescribe it, so you have to have a doctor who’s willing to prescribe it. With PEMF, you can own your own system. You don’t have to deal with insurance companies, you don’t have to deal with the doctors having to prescribe it. You can get your own system.  If you want something that’s as strong as an eNeura, you’re going to need, at the very least, a Pulse Harmonics machine or a Tesla Fit Plus machine. Now you can get higher as well, but you’re going to need higher intensity.

You could do a trial – you could try something like a Flex Pulse, which then allows you to be able to treat the back of the neck as well.  The Flex Pulse works and it’s portable.  So unlike an eNeura, unlike the Pulse Harmonics or the Tesla Fit Plus, you don’t have to be sitting next to an outlet to do your treatments. Now, the higher the intensity, often the faster the results. So the treatment times become shorter so you don’t have to sit there too long.

But you may have the advantage with a Flex Pulse of being able to wear it, stick the control unit in a pants pocket and then just go on about your business while you’re wearing your coils on the back of your neck.  If that works for you, great. Fantastic. You saved a lot of money. But not everybody who has migraines gets by with that lower intensity. The value of the Flex Pulse is because you can use it over a longer period of time.  You could still get significant benefit and value from it.

Again, It may not be as effective for an active migraine that’s well set in, that’s really full-blown, it needs dynamite to get rid of it. So you need to often resort to standard therapies at that time. So really the benefit of the PEMFs is to be able to do the treatment at the beginning of the migraine or using it on a regular basis.  If you’re getting chronic daily headaches, you absolutely need to be doing magnetic field therapy every day. Absolutely. Because you have headaches every day.  And if you have chronic daily headaches, you’re really going to need a stronger magnetic system. That’s my two bits on the subject.

PEMF Rental Options

DO WE OFFER RENTAL OPTIONS BEFORE PURCHASING WITH OUR SYSTEMS?

Transcript: Donna is renting a BEMER and she’s at the end of her rental period, so she asks do we offer rental options before purchasing with our systems? We do with the Bio Balance, so if you want to stick to a very low-intensity system, then you can rent a Bio Balance. We do not with the Parmeds systems. When you buy it, you have 30 days to return it.  There’s a restocking fee, which essentially boils down to a rental fee for a month for the Parmeds systems. The Tesla Fit devices are available for rental. The Pulse Harmonics is not. There are a  limited number of Tesla Fit systems that are available for rental, but they can be rented for up to 45 days, and then you have to make a decision whether you’re going to keep it or purchase it.

The Value of the BioBalance

DO YOU LIKE BIOBALANCE? IS IT WORTH THE $2,500?

Transcript: Shauntel asks “Do you like the Bio Balance?  And if so what are the values for $2500?”  I’m not sure I understand the question, but I think she’s asking if I like the Bio Balance and is it worth $2500? It’s like beauty, it’s in the eyes of the beholder.  If you have horrific back pain, the Bio Balance may not have value for you.  If you have horrific back pain, iMRS, BEMER, or Bio Balance may not be enough for you.  You may need something better. So, if you purchased it because you decided to get a whole-body system, but you didn’t want to spend the money on a system that’s going to be better for you, then you’re going to have to live with your choice. You may need to do a lot more treatment time.  Five Gauss does not work very deep in the body, does not work very well. It works on the acupuncture points and meridians pretty decently, it helps to increase and endorphins in the pain which makes you feel better, but it doesn’t necessarily help to heal the problem. So Bio Balance, I think, is a better health maintenance system than it is for dealing with serious or significant health issues.

PEMF Device Differences

COULD YOU DISCUSS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PEMF DEVICES, INCLUDING THE BEMER?

Transcript: This question has kind of been asked before and I’ll lump a bunch of machines into this question. The BEMER is being sold with high pressure by a multilevel marketing company.  IMRS is another one. Now, I don’t care whether it’s multilevel or not. What’s important to me is, are you getting what you need for the money you’re spending?  If you’re going to spend close to $6,000 for a machine then you better know what the intensity is. And most of the distributors who sell the BEMERs don’t know what the intensity is.

I can’t believe it.  They’re “selling a car” and they don’t even know what the car can do. They hear all these stories that it does all these wonderful things. But intensity matters. Dosage matters. That means you have to know what the system is going to do for you, because then you know how to use it properly.

So the BEMER is only around one Gauss.  Sometimes, depending on how you use it, it might be two Gauss, three Gauss, at the most.  It’s too little for the price. The Parmeds home system is $3,500 for 70 Gauss for the whole body pad and 200 Gauss for the smaller applicator.  $3,500, and you’re getting a lot more machine. The iMRS is basically equivalent to the BEMER although the iMRS people will tell you that mine is better and the BEMER people will tell you theirs is better. We have a device called the Medithera which is very similar to the iMRS and the BEMER,  and we have another machine called the Bio Balance, which is ten times stronger than the BEMER and $2,500 versus close to $6,000.

So, do I like the BEMER? I think it has value. I think it’s probably better for health maintenance than to treat specific health issues. Do you have arthritis? It might make you feel a little bit better. And you’ll hear testimonials – “they work. I feel good, I feel better. I haven’t felt this good in a long time.”  But if you’re spending $6,000 for something, you better believe that it’s going to work. Now of course, if you’re spending $2,500 for something, you better believe it’s going to work as well. Will you believe more If you’re spending $6000 for the same intensity? I don’t know, you’ll have to answer that question for yourself.

I think you can find a better value than these high-cost systems that deliver very, very low intensity. The Bio Balance is a good machine too, and it’s ten Gauss, so it’s ten times stronger than a BEMER at less than half the price.

So that’s my take on the BEMER, the IMRs, the QRS and the Medithera. Those are all just about the same. There’s a device called the OMI, which a lot of people like because of the price. But the same problem applies –  intensity. So if you’re spending $1,000 for a machine and you’re only buying one Gauss or less, is that still a value? Is it a value for you? Well, it’s more value than a Beamer for $6,000 but still, it’s a problem, because I don’t think it’s strong enough for most of the reasons people buy PEMF systems. 

Now I know I’m going to get into a lot of trouble. Many of you may own BEMERs already or you have friends who own BEMERs and they’ll tell you how great they are. But I’ve been working with magnetic fields for 30 years. I’ve written the book Power Tools for Health. So I think I know, to some extent, what I’m talking about. And I worked with many of those devices at the very beginning of my career because that’s what was available at the time.

Parameds Home (Curatron HT) Intensity/ Gauss

DOES THE PARMEDS HOME (CURATRON HT) HAVE SUFFICIENT
INTENSITY/GAUSS TO TREAT THE PROSTATE (BHP)?

Transcript: The next person asks, I don’t have a name, but this is about the prostate.  I think we’ve talked about the prostate as well. So this person has a Parmeds Home system and asks if it has sufficient intensity to treat the prostate gland.

The Parameds Home system, which many of you might have, is a very effective device, but the whole body pad is not strong enough to deal with the prostate.  The small pad is about 200 gauss, so it’s not strong enough. But try it, and see what happens.  The prostate is deep enough into the body, inside the pelvis, that you probably need to use something stronger. You have the table of intensities that you’re going to need to be able to deal with specific issues.  But it doesn’t hurt to try it.

You’ll need to sit on it.  A big part of the problem with prostates is that it’s not just the prostate itself, you also have to treat the bladder.  Where I could see it working potentially fairly well would be to put the small pad of the Parameds system over the lower abdomen just above the pubic bone. And you might have to treat for hours. It doesn’t matter which program you pick. The training that I provide on how to use it will tell you about that.

My preferred system for treating the prostate is the Tesla fit plus or the Tesla fit duo. Or you could even be using the Parameds Flash. The Parameds Flash is a good buy that’s between the Tesla Fit Plus and the Tesla Fit Duo, and it’s actually stronger and less expensive than the Duo.  So the Flash and the Plus are the two I would recommend to be the optimal systems for prostate problems because they have the sufficient intensities to be able to deal with this adequately and properly.

PEMF Therapy vs. RIFE Therapy

HOW IS PEMF SIMILAR OR DIFFERENT FROM RIFE?

Transcript: We talked about RIFE in the past, and I’m not going to discuss that today. You can go back into previous webinar Q and A’s to read about RIFE.  I don’t have a problem with RIFE, I just don’t use it. I don’t like it because there’s not enough research, from my perspective to make it reliable.
