PEMF stands for Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field therapy; using this particular process involves directing powerful, but low frequency, pulsed magnetic energy waves toward damaged or injured areas of the patient’s body. These waves painlessly and quickly pass through the cells in the damaged region, increasing the spin of the electrons contained within them and enhancing the uptake of nutrients from the bloodstream.
It is this amplified electron spinning which restores the cell’s potential (its energy), regulating its volume at the same time. And, unlike some other forms of CAM, this positive cellular effect lasts for as many as four days after the treatment session has ended.
How PEMF works
Perhaps the easiest way to understand PEMF is to think in terms of
each cell in your body as if it were a little battery. Like with any
battery, sometimes your cells become tired and worn, whether due to age,
stress, overuse, or damage, making it more difficult for them to fight
off any type of potentially damaging force or illness.
Through PEMF therapy, your batteries (i.e. your cells) essentially
become recharged. The energy supplied via PEMF waves gives them the
energy they need to ward off whatever is threatening them, whether it’s a
trauma or disease-based threat. This makes it easier for your patient’s
body to restore its health naturally, simply by using the electrical
currents and impulses that are already interacting within and throughout
their cells. In essence, high-powered PEMF is like a “battery
re-charger” for your depleted cells. The process happens slightly more
complex than the simple use of the device.
PEMF and NASA
Bone loss occurs in the weightless environment of space because
bones no longer have to support the body against gravity, On Earth,
gravity applies a constant electric force to the skeletal system, that
causes healthy bones to maintain a certain density so that they are able
to support the body.
This caused Goodwin to conclude that, “As
is clearly demonstrated in the human body, the bioelectric, biochemical
process of electrical nerve stimulation is a documented reality.” In
other words, it works and it works very well.
