Introduction

This week on the PEMF-SHOW we will be discussing the mechanics of Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Therapy on the body’s cells.  We are going to discuss how the earth magnetic dynamo powers the human body. We are going to talk about how our bodies are electrical. We are going to discuss how we can recharge our cellular batteries… not in our cell phone batteries, but in the cells of our bodies. We are going to explore how PEMF can help jumpstart cells which are powered-down, and finally we are going to look at how PEMF can help decongest the body’s transportation system, oxygenating your body to produce maximum performance.

The Earth’s Dynamo: Powering the Human Body

Planet earth is a giant dynamo. Under the earth’s crust is an outer core which is made of molten metal. The outer core is heated by the inner core and is constantly in motion. Due to the rotation of the earth on a daily basis, the movement of magma is flows in cylindrical streams which create circulating electrical currents, which in turn generate the earth’s magnetic field. This magnetic field is easily detected by a hand-held compass whose needle is going to point to magnetic north.  This magnetic force has been found to be of great importance to the maintenance of human life.

When NASA sent its astronauts to live in space for extended periods of time, they realized the reduction in exposure to the earth’s magnetic field had an adverse health effect.  One study, put out by the NASA’s Johnson Space Center, entitled “Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields – A Countermeasure for Bone Loss and Muscle Atrophy,” stated the following:

Currently, there is a critical need to develop effective countermeasures for bone loss and muscle atrophy to enable future human space exploration to the moon, Mars and beyond. Progressive muscle atrophy can lead to weakness, fatigue, the inability to perform efficiently assigned tasks, and compromised emergency egress operations. Bone loss causes increased risk of bone fracture and kidney stones, which can also negatively affect mission objectives and success.

To rectify this problem NASA researched the positive effects of PEMF.

The purpose of these studies is to develop a pulsed electromagnetic field device for use as a noninvasive countermeasure to enhance bone retention, prevent or alleviate muscle atrophy, and augment natural healing/regeneration processes.

This research represents a major contribution toward enabling humans to live and work safely in space, and is especially relevant to projected human space exploration. On Earth, this device could be useful in the treatment of various muscle diseases, age- and cancer-related muscle atrophy, osteoporosis, and other bone diseases.

Some of the engineers involved in both the United States and Russian space programs concluded, if it was of benefit to the astronauts, it would also benefit you and I. But how exactly does PEMF work?

 

The Electrical Human Body

Human beings are electrical creatures. EEG tests (or Electroencephalog raphy) records electrical activity of the brain. EKG tests (or Electrocardiography)  records the electrical activity of the heart. When a person goes into cardiac arrest, a defibrillator is used to deliver a therapeutic dose of electrical energy to the heart to restart it.

Scientists have learned that our bodies are alive because of electromagnetic exchanges between cells.  Dr. Laycock PhD, BEd(Hons), a Member of the International Society for Bio-electro-  magnetism writes:

Soft tissue is made up of billions of cells each of which is surrounded by a semi-permeable membrane. Through this membrane pass certain types of ions known as ‘cations’, which flow into the cells, and ‘anions’, which flow out. These different types of cations and anions provide the essential nutrients to sustain each cell to perform its designated function.

These flows of ions constitute small electric currents in their own right, driven by a small ch
