MYTHS ABOUT PEMFS HOW MYTHS ABOUT PEMFS CAN IMPACT YOUR DECISION If you are beginning your research on PEMFs, you’ll quickly find that there are a lot of bold claims and conflicting information on frequency, intensity, and waveforms. There are many myths about PEMFs. If you look closely, though, you’ll find that some of these […]
WHY INTENSITY MATTERS Not surprisingly, there is still much debate online about the value of intensity of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs). There are manufacturers and distributors on both sides of this debate. Some claim that low intensity is all that is needed and that higher intensities are unnecessary or even dangerous. Some claim that only […]
HOW TO APPLY PEMFS Once you have access to a PEMF system, you need to apply PEMF correctly to get the most benefit from it. How to apply PEMFs is very important. Treatment parameters are made up of location, duration, and programming. Treatment outcomes will be largely dependent upon directing the magnetic field therapy to […]
PEMF FREQUENCY, INTENSITY, AND WAVEFORM Time-varied or pulsed magnetic fields have 3 main components: frequency, intensity, and waveform. FREQUENCY OF A PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD Electromagnetic field frequency is measured in cycles per second (Hertz, abbreviated Hz). Frequency is tied to wavelength. Most PEMF systems use low frequencies and long wavelengths – from 1 Hz up to […]
BIOMAGNETIC FIELDS AND THE HUMAN BODY UNDERSTANDING NATURAL AND THERAPEUTIC MAGNETIC FIELDS To better understand the human magnetic field and how the human body interacts with and responds to magnetic fields, we must appreciate how much our bodies themselves are electromagnetic. The body’s own internal magnetic fields are generated by the extraordinary amount of internal […]
PEMFs Vs. EMFs WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PEMFs AND EMFs? One of the most common concerns for people researching PEMF therapy is associated with the negative effects of other EMFs in the environment, and the so called “electro-smog” they create. There are many differences between these harmful EMFs and the therapeutic EMFs generated by […]
STATIC MAGNETIC FIELD VS. PULSED MAGNETIC FIELD WHAT TYPES OF MAGNETIC FIELDS ARE THERE? Magnetic fields can either be static or time-varying/pulsed. A static magnetic field is one in which no change in the flux density or intensity can be found over the time interval of use or measurement. In time-varying magnetic fields, flux density […]
Magnetic Field Polarity The topic of polarity has no scientific basis or proof in relation to PEMFs. Even so, polarity is occasionally mentioned in this industry, so we will mention it briefly. DOES POLARITY EVEN MATTER? The concept is taken from the convention used to describe the Earth’s poles as North and South. In fact, […]
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 […]
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 […]
