PEMF stands for Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Fields The body can become accustomed to nonmoving (or static) magnetic fields, which are generally unable to deeply penetrate the body. A pulsed electromagnetic field, however, is dynamic, is able to penetrate all the way through the body, and creates a cascade of effects.
Each of the approximately 75 trillion cells in our body vibrates or oscillates. Using the appropriate frequencies, electromagnetic impulses can induce resonant vibrations to stimulate a variety of cellular functions. However, only specific ranges or spectrum of electromagnetic frequencies are readily accepted by the body (called the biological window) and trigger physiological responses.
One key function of the cell membrane is to regulate the environment for biological processes inside the cell. This is achieved through selectively allowing water, nutrients, and elements to enter or leave the interior of the cell. One way the cell membrane achieves selective “permeability” is through the establishment of a membrane potential (he voltage difference between the interior of the cell and the exterior of the cell.). The cell’s normal membrane potential is 70-90 mV (millivolts). In a state of illnessor disease, the membrane potential is reduced. PEMF brings the cell membrane potential back to normal, healthy levels.
This leads to an increase in intercellular communication, metabolic processes, increased circulation, oxygenation, alkalization, ATP production (ti.e. energy), and optimized cell membrane potential. As a result, cells regenerate, oxidative stress and inflammation are reduced, immune responses are more robust, the feel-good endorphins are boosted, depleted adrenal and other endocrine gland functions are restored.
The FDA only recognizes PEMF applications for bone repair, for which it has been used in the US to treat non-healing fractures since the 1970s. More than 10,000 scientific papers and 2000 double blind studies, many at a University level, have been published on research and clinical studies of PEMF.
