What is the difference between regular magnets
and PEMF?
Our body's natural magnetic field is created by the flow of electrically
charged ions in and out of cells and the transmission of electric
impulses through cell membranes. Only Pulsing ElectroMagnetic Field
(PEMF) force and not static magnets can influence on a cellular
level. The magnetic strength value of static magnets (expressed
in Gauss value) is not relevant at all, since the measured field
strengths of permanent magnets range from 300 gauss to 16000 gauss
at the surface, at 2 cm distance around 10 gauss and at 10 cm distance;
absolutely nothing. In addition static magnets cannot create any
electrical induction at all without being mechanically moved the
whole time!
What is Electromagnetism?
The interaction of electrical and magnetic effect is known as electromagnetism.
Electromagnetism is one of the most important concepts in physical
science. An electromagnet consists of a piece of soft iron with
electrical wire wrapped around it. When an electric current flows
through the wire, it produces a magnetic field around the wire
and the iron is magnetized. The greater the current, the stronger
the magnetic field. By coiling up the wire many times, the magnetic
field produced can be made even stronger.
What has Lorenz force to do with PEMF?
Electrical current in a coil causes a magnetic field. The magnetic
field curls around electric wire in which the current flows. Electricity
and magnetism are interrelated in many ways. They are manifestations
of the same fundamental physical concepts. Maxwell equations show
the relation between the electricity and magnetism. The combined
effects of electrical and magnetic fields, is called Lorenz force.
As result of induced Lorenz force pulsing electromagnetism will
produce electricity in cells and this is the basis for Pulsing
Electromagnetic Field Therapy.
Electricity within the human body?
It is long known that there is electricity in our bodies: electrocardiogram
(ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyogram (EMG). In
1956 the piezoelectric effect in bone was discovered by Fukada
and Yasuda; a physicist and an orthopaedic surgeon in Japan. The
combined effects of electric and magnetic force explain that pulsing
electromagnetic fields induce electrical changes on a cellular
level within the body and cell metabolism is influenced.
PEMF influences oxygen levels within cells?
This can only be accomplished when the pulsing electromagnetic
fields penetrate sufficiently deep within the human body. The electrical
influence and increase of the membrane cell potential, causes an
increase in oxygenation, which in turn increase the supply of nutrients.
This results in disposal of waste products from the cells and cell
detoxification.
How do I know that the effect will be real and
not just placebo?
Most scientific clinical studies clearly show that in order to
obtain clinical relevant results the minimum pulsing field strength
must be at least 3-5 milli Tesla (30 to 50 Gauss). In order to
generate piezoelectricity inside bone and cells the field strength
must exceed 10 milli Tesla (100 gauss). There are different variations
of large and expensive coil systems mounted on arms or beds, but
none of these systems is able to generate energies higher than
100 gauss.
Flat treatment pads versus bulky body coils?
Additional disadvantage of large coil systems is that the magnetic
field is very localized and mainly within the coil area only and
not suitable for full body energizing. Many manufacturers use the
latter method due to technological difficulties and complications
in manufacturing and controlling high-density electrical currents
within flat surface coils. Also creating stable and effective electromagnetic
fields exceeding by far the 10 milli Tesla (100 gauss) level seems
to be problematic for other manufacturers.
Do energy levels above 10 milli Tesla always
work?
NO! The speed of change of the electromagnetic field induced into
the body is very important to obtain the maximum possible force
and thus penetration inside the body. This speed of magnetic induction
is one of the most important parameters for obtaining nice and
clear pictures in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines in
hospitals, to obtain high speed tilting of hydrogen atoms in the
body. These atoms emit the radio frequency signals, which are measured
by the MRI coils and used to create the diagnostic picture. This
explanation also clearly shows that a static magnetic field cannot
generate any piezoelectric effect inside the body since there is
no speed of change component when applying a permanent magnet.
And what about energy levels under 0.1 milli
Tesla?
There are systems, which generate less than 0.1 milli Tesla (1
Gauss), which is much less than the normal background magnetic
field in any regular household (fridge, TV etc.). There cannot
be expected anything by the use of such a device, except for a
placebo effect.
Does the PEMF penetrate the whole body?
Absolutely. The combination of the generated energy level and the
speed of change of the pulses guarantee full body penetration,
under condition that the minimum amount of energy generated is
also sufficient.
Can I actually feel the electromagnetic pulses?
Just take the supplied test magnet in your own hand and feel
the pulses! Maximum energy setting with the coil electrode
even enables you to feel the pulses at a distance of over 40" (1
meter) or at the other side of your body!
What about battery powered systems?
Battery powered equipment generate very short square, triangle
or exponential pulses. In addition they are unable to generate
the necessary high energy, electromagnetic fields simultaneously
at each individual coil, otherwise the battery would be exhausted
in a very short time. These systems will not induce any sufficient
energy transfer into the body in order to obtain any realistic
electron movement. The minuscule amounts of generated energy
will not create any relevant or beneficial piezoelectric effect
inside cells.
