The use of electromagnetic force as a therapy has been illustrated for centuries. Using this knowledge Russian scientists successfully incorporated the use of electromagnetic fields in their space craft to maintain and regenerate the health of their cosmonauts. The success of the Russian program inspired scientists to resume study of pulsating electromagnetic fields on the body’s own frequency patterns. It was found different frequencies were proven to be beneficial in the treatment of various health problems.
Now lets have a look at how energy is made and what effect PEMF has on this.
Starting with food, there is a lot of confusion as to which foods to eat and which diet is best. Personally, I am familiar with most of the popular diets.
What’s interesting to me is that even diets that seem diametrically opposite (like the Atkins diet and Vegetarian diets) share a lot in common (namely, what to avoid). There is no diet I am aware of that recommends fast food, white bread, soda pops, sugar, trans fats, processed foods, canned foods, processed salt, etc, etc.
Sugar/Carbohydrate makes you fat. It is converted directly to fat by your liver and it also destroys your ability to control your appetite, so that you can’t stop eating everything. The more sugar/carbohydrate you eat, the fatter you will become.
The real reason I bring this up if you can imagine you are an engine, if you give the engine the correct fuel the better it will perform. If not, well, the results today show an epidemic in heart disease, diabetes, obesity, arterial health and cancer.
Further studies have been done on earth (in a Mu cage-no magnetic fields) with both laboratory animals and human subjects. What was found is that just in a matter of hours of NO exposure to healthy PEMF’s, cell metabolism begins to break down causing bone loss, muscle weakness, depressed metabolism, disorientation and depression.
The Conclusion – Research has conclusively proven that PEMF is a necessary and required element of health just as is food, water, and oxygen.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields are like a spark plug for energy production in the cell. Just like a car needs oxygen, fuel and an ignition (spark plug), so does the human cell need fuel (glucose), oxygen and a “spark plug” or ignition. This ignition is PEMF or pulsed magnetic energy from both the earth and movement/exercise on the earth.
We can also think of PEMF as a battery recharger for the human cell. We now know that the voltage of a healthy cell is about 70-110 millivolts and when we get sick that voltage drops below 50 millivolts or less and cancer cells are 30 millivolts or less. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) act like a catalyst and battery recharger for the human cells and these PEMF’s are critical for human metabolism.
PEMF’s also improve microcirculation, oxygenation (up to a 200% increase), help in nerve regeneration, pain management and many other health promoting benefits. There are over 1000 clinical studies and over 7000 research papers validating the therapeutic benefits of PEMFs. Research is continuing today in many medical and university institutions.
So What Magnetic Intensity is Best for Us?
If we use intensities within nature’s limits (30-60 uT). In fact, all the top and best researched companies making pulsed magnetic therapy mats independently discovered that weak magnetic fields on the same order of the earth’s intensities, work better than stronger fields.
So more is not better, in fact, less is more.
And to properly duplicate nature, static magnetics are not the best choice. The earth’s magnetic field is produced by moving electric currents in the outer liquid core. The magnetic field of the Earth is DYNAMIC, not static as many people mistakenly think.
So if we want to try and duplicate Nature, the strength of the Magnetic field we should look for would be approximately 0-100 uT (or 0-1.00 Gauss). AND the magnetic field should be DYNAMIC not static. This means a pulsating magnetic field (PEMF).
However high intensities are not desirable and even could be dangerous (there are some very high powered PEMF devices on the market – this is very UNNATURAL and potentially dangerous):
The World Health Organization considers a continuous magnetic field of 100 micro-Tesla (1 Gauss) at 50Hz as safe.
Further the limit of strength for induced electromagnetic fields according to DIN (German industry norm) is 400 uT. There are no known risks with use of systems of low electromagnetic fields, but stay away from units going above 400 uT.
Introduction To What are Frequencies
Frequency, very simply, is cycles per second and is usually measured in hertz. Anything periodic has a frequency that can be measured in Hertz (Hz). For example, the frequency of the second hand on your watch is 1 cycle (or full revolution) per 60 seconds or 1/60 Hz.
The entire electromagnetic spectrum includes frequencies ranging from very low (long radio waves) to very high (gamma or cosmic rays and x-rays).
The Sun is a source of a most of the electromagnetic rays we experience on a daily basis, which is mostly from the infrared through the visible to the ultraviolet end of the spectrum.
The earth itself emits a predominantly infrared wave due to its hot core and also partly a re-radiation of the suns energy it absorbs.
But what I want to discuss is the fundamental frequencies of the earth’s magnetic field and exactly what those frequencies are and which are not only good for our health, but also absolutely essential. These frequencies are distinctly different from other frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum because they are based on the Earth and the Earth’s Ionosphere’s resonant frequencies and the frequencies of the earth’s magnetic field.
There are also studies that Adey and Zimmerman that confirm that the Earth’s natural resonant frequencies are the most healing and actually essential for the human organism.
The Earth’s frequency is called the The Schumann Resonance Frequencies (7.83 Hz)
Just as a tuning fork has resonant frequencies for sound, so the planet earth and the ionosphere surrounding it has resonance frequencies for electromagnetic radiation called the Schumann Resonances. Basically the ionosphere with the Earth’s surface creates a spherical wave-guide that surrounds the earth. Low frequency electromagnetic waves bounce around this waveguide, which is how radio signals can be transmitted around the globe.
The fundamental frequency of this spherical cavity of the earth is 7.83 hertz, which, like a tuning fork, is the earth’s fundamental “note”.
The Human brain also has natural frequencies for electromagnetic radiation. It turns out the Earth’s Schumann resonances are “in tune” with the brain’s Alpha and Theta states (relaxation and deep relaxation). Neurobiology researchers O’Keefe and Nadel further showed that the hippocampus of the brain is tuned to 7.83 Hz.
Also, Michael A. Persinger on behalf of NASA found a solution for cosmonauts. The first manned space flights created considerable physiological problems for astronauts, and it was only through the installation of Schumann wave generators (7.83 Hz) that the side effects were remedied.
It’s important to note that although the fundamental (and most dominate) frequency of the Schumann resonance is 7.83, there are higher harmonics just like a piano has varying octaves of “C”. These higher octaves also have healing effects because they are in “harmony” with 7.83.
The Frequencies of the Earth’s Magnetic Field (11.75 and 11.79 Hz).
Klaus Piontzik in his book “The Lattice Structure of the Earth’s Magnetic Fields” lays out a derivation of the fundamental frequency of the earth’s magnetic grid.
This frequency was found to be 11.79 Hz at the poles and 11.75 Hz at the equator. The difference coming from the fact that the Earth “bulges” at the equator due to centrifugal forces of its rotation.
Interestingly, this fundamental frequency is exactly 3/2 of the Schumann frequency.
So the earths magnetic field itself has a fundamental frequency and that frequency is 11.79 Hz (polar) and 11.75 (equatorial).
And like the Schumann frequency, this frequency also contains higher harmonics.
So What are the Best Frequencies for Human Health?
The best frequencies for the human body are those naturally occurring on our planet earth.
There is abundance evidence that the TWO predominate earth based resonant frequencies are 7.83 Hz and 11.75 Hz (or 11.79 HZ) and their higher harmonics.
Further evidence is that the human brain state frequencies correspond to these frequencies including the hippocampus.
Also of note is that both the U.S. (NASA) and Russian space program use 7.83 (Schumann generators) in the space suits and space stations to prevent serious illness.
Adey and Bawin showed very conclusively that cells respond to roughly 3-25 Hz and any frequencies outside this range have little or no effect.
