Introduction

This week on the PEMF-SHOW we will be discussing how Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Therapy can help people suffering with chronic pain. We will explore the mechanics of pain in the human body and how PEMF can help with both the symptoms and the underlying causes. We will discuss how PEMF can be a viable alternative to narcotics and opioids in today’s pill-popping pain treatment culture.

The Mechanics of Sensation

The human body has a communication system which connects to the brain. The brain works like a supercomputer receiving and transmitting messages through a network comprised of nerves cells.

The nerve cells are called neurons. The neurons have a nucleolus at the center which are connected to dendrites and axons – like a wiring mechanism of the nerves  . The dendrites convey messages into the nucleolus, they are the input wires. The axons convey messages away from the nucleolus, they are the output wires.

Nerve cells connect at the axon terminals where the synapses are located. The axon of once nerve cell (the output) will connect to the dendrite of another nerve cell (the input), passing the message along. This happens at the axon terminal through chemical molecules called neurotransmitters.

According to medical wisdom, neurons cannot regenerate, but damaged axons can.

There are two basic networks of nerve cells:

• The central nervous system, whose axons are situated in the brain, the eye and the spinal cord (like the wires inside a computer).
• The peripheral nervous system, whose axons are situated outside of the central nervous system (like network wires).

Messages are transferred from the axons, and there are two types of axons:

• Sensory axons (inputs) which carry messages from the skin, muscles, joints, internal organs and intestines to the central nervous system. These include sensations like touch, temperature, pain, muscle activity, and joint position.
• Motor Axons (outputs) which control motion and carry signals from the central nervous systems to the body, limbs, internal organs and intestines.

Inside the brain there are intermediate neurons which connect the sensory and motor neurons together.

Messages are transferred from the axons by electrical pulses called action potentials. These electrical pulses travel from the sensory axons to the central nervous system where they activate the nerve cells and cause sensations.   

The longer axons (or wires) are insulated with the myelin sheath, which increases the speed at which a message can travel down the axon (or wire). Shorter axons do not have myelin insulators, and messages travel slower through them. It is the shorter axons that carry messages about touch, cold, warmth and pain. Because they are slower commun

This week on the PEMF-SHOW we will be discussing how Pusled Electro Magnetic Field Therapy (or PEMF) can help people suffering with diabetes. We will explore what causes diabetes, the symptoms people struggle with, and how PEMF can help alleviate both.

The Diabetes Plague

Diabetes is a growing problem worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, there were approximately 422 million people in 2013 who suffered from Diabetes. (1)

Most people stumble across their diabetes due to symptoms that they begin experiencing. According to the Mayo Clinic (2) these include:

Frequent urination.

Excessive thirst.

Increased hunger.

Slow-healing sores or frequent infections

Complications include

Lack of interest and concentration.

A tingling sensation or numbness in the hands or feet (neuropathy)

Blurred vision.

Personal battle

This was certainly the case for me, waking from a deep sleep with “knives and axes” attacking my feet, never mind pins and needles!  At first, I thought something was biting me. After doing a thorough search of the bed, I realized the only other living being in it was my wife, so I started to look online. I quickly found that neuropathy (pain in the feet) is often due to diabetes. I was sure I didn’t have it until I read the list of symptoms and realized I had most of them.

I went to my doctors and asked to be tested for diabetes. Diabetes is diagnosed based on the A1C which measure the amount of sugar in the blood.

70-100 mg/dl (miligrams per decilitre) or 3.9-5.5 mmol/l (Millimoles Per Litre) is the normal range for blood sugar.

101-125 mg/dl or 5.6-7.0 mmol/l is termed pre-diabetic

over 125 mg/dl or 7.1 mmol/l is considered diabetic.

My A1C blood level was measured at 175.68 mg/dl or 9.75 mmol/l. My doctor called me the next day and informed me I was classified as a Type 2 Diabetic.

Understanding Sugar Metabolism

It I worth taking a few minutes to understand how the body uses sugar. Sugar or glucose is the fuel that cells use for energy. It is metabolized by the body to produce ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) which is the energy that powers the cells of the body.

The glucose in our blood comes from two sources:

The food that we eat

The Liver (which creates and stores sugars)

In order for the cells to metabolize glucose, (meaning to take it in and use it), they need insulin. Insulin is a chemical key that unlocks the cells and allows the sugars to enter. The pancreas is the organ in the body that creates insulin.

When all these components function well together the body has a healthy metabolism. If the components of this system do not operate properly the result can be diabetes.

Diabetes is the result of too much sugar or glucose in the blood.

Types of Diabetes

There are different reasons why too much sugar can be building up in the blood. The first is that the pancreas does not create enough insulin to unlock the cells to receive the sugars. This is termed Type 1 Diabetes.

The second is when the cells become resistant to insulin, or the insulin cannot reach the cells due to too much fat coating the cells, not allowing the insulin to work and the sugar to be metabolized.  This is known as Type 2 Diabetes.

In this case your pancreas works overtime to create more insulin. The insulin can be  blocked from unlocking the cells due to too much fat coating the cells and preventing insulin from being used and sugars from being metabolized. This creates a vicious cycle, because the body stores excess insulin in the visceral fat (or fat surrounding the organs). More insulin can result in more fat, and more fat can block the insulin from unlocking the cells.

Causes of type 2 diabetes can be:

Too much sugar or carbohydrates being consumed and overloading the system.

Not enough exercise to use up the sugars and reduce the fat content in the body

Being overweight (due to both of the above), but not necessarily

A fatty liver that cannot clear the fat from the blood, and consequently the cells are coa

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.
