Curative effects of the low-frequency pulse magnetic field (LPMF)
The effects of the biological changes in the tissues caused by low-frequency pulse magnetic field may be used to cure various diseases.
There are 6 basic classified groups and effects:
Pain-killing (analgesic) Myo-relaxing (relief from spasms) Anti-oedema (anti-swelling) Vasodilatative (widening the bloodstream) Detoxification (accelerating metabolism) Healing and regenerative, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic
Characteristics of the LPMF and frequency range used with Biomag®
Polarity of applicators
The pulses of one polarity generated by Biomag® devices allow the applicators to always work with the same polarity at a specific location (for the marking, see the page 22).
Low frequency - 1 to 10 Hz
Prevailing effects of an analgesic and myorelaxing nature.
Medium frequency - 10 to 15 Hz
Anti-inflammatory, suitable for chronic and degenerative diseases: vasodilatation; results in enhanced blood and lymph circulation, swelling suppression.
Higher frequency: up to 25 Hz
Prevailing stimulating effects that support bone healing, improve post-injury states and work well with acute disease; detoxification.
Frequency above 25 Hz (26 to 81 Hz)
Frequencies higher than 25 Hz (intended for special applications) are used if we need to increase the intensity of the effects, or with certain types of health problems such as burns, fractures healing with difficulties and pseudoarthrosis. A higher frequency is intended for more intensive support of the healing process, regeneration and detoxification. A specialist providing consultancy regarding pulse magnetotherapy should be consulted for application of programmes working with higher frequencies.
How Do Magnetic Fields Work to Help the Body?
In this video, Dr. Pawluk discusses how PEMFs can effect the body’s physical mechanisms.
How Can Magnetic Fields Help You?
In this video, Dr. Pawluk talks about how PEMFs can help you with certain conditions or ailments.
Cell Injury and PEMFs
In this video, Dr. Pawluk discusses how PEMFs deliver enough gentle stimulation to cells and tissues to allow dysfunctional “injured” cells to be reinvigorated and recover function.
Pulse profiles, intensity of the LPMF and frequency wobbling
If you choose INDIVIDUAL mode, you work with various frequencies, intensity and various pulse profiles. The sharp profile of the pulse (needle, triangle) acts in a stimulating way, while the other profiles (rounded, rectangular) act to counter pain or result in relief from spasms. It is good to know that wobbling of the frequency in 3-minute sequences induces a continuous effect, while wobbling pulse after pulse stimulates the body better.
In these instructions, it is recommended that you use the programme frequency range from 1 to 25 Hz. Frequencies beyond 25 Hz (intended for special applications) are used with specific types of afflictions, e.g. burns, fractures whose healing process is not progressing, and pseudoarthrosis. Along with this, we would like to recommend that if local soreness is caused by a problem located somewhere else, the magnetic field should be applied via two applicators - at both locations at the same time.
Individual effects and use of magnetotherapy should be planned and evaluated according to the particular condition and reaction of each patient. In the event of an unexpected reaction, stop application immediately! It is recommended that you continue the therapy after examination by a specialised physician, following the instructions and procedures prescribed.
If magnetotherapy is included in medical treatment of orthopaedic or similar problems, it can be expected that some people will temporarily show slightly increased sensitivity. This is the so-called spa syndrome, frequently resulting in a significantly improved condition of the patient. If this is the case, it is recommended that you do not interrupt application. However, you should lower the intensity of application for approximately 2-5 days.
The magnetic field of the Earth
The magnetic field of the EarthThe Earth has unique magnetic characteristics that are optimal for the development and existence of life. The magnetic field is everywhere around the Earth. The sphere of its influence and effect is called the magnetosphere. The magnetosphere retains most of the initial cosmic radiation and protects living organisms against harm. Geomagnetism influenced the development of life forms on the Earth. It is one of the primary conditions for life. Placing people in areas where geomagnetism has been eliminated has resulted in impaired biorhythms, metabolic disorders and mental problems. It has been demonstrated that living organisms produce a weak electromagnetic field and this field reacts with the Earth´s magnetic field. For certain physical reasons, these interactions must result in a response at the level of atoms, cells, cellular structures and the whole organism. These processes are slight yet permanent, with no time limits. As we humans do not have any specific receptors (such as a hearing organ to detect sound waves for example), we are not directly aware of the existence of the magnetic field. The Earth’s magnetic lines of induction exit the north magnetic field and enter at the south magnetic pole. While measuring the flux line direction, we use a compass: its needle (made of a permanent magnet) turns to the north magnetic field of the Earth with its south pole, determining the geographical South Pole, while the south pole of the needle turns to the Earth’s north magnetic field, showing the geographical North Pole of the Earth. This means that the geographical North Pole is the south magnetic pole of the Earth, and vice versa. The Earth´s magnetism – the magnetic induction of the Earth´s field - varies from 10 to 100 μT (10 to 100 times 0.000001 T); the average value is approx. 50 μT = 0.05 mT (militesla). Certain fluctuations and cyclical deviations in magnetic activity are caused by biological cycles (daily, monthly or annual cycles). Simply put, there are five areas that are vital for life on the planet – all related to magnetism:
The order and mechanism of electrochemical operations at the level of the smallest particles of living matter, Protection against various types of cosmic radiation that would otherwise destroy life, Gravitational pull, Time cycles Orientation in space, conditioned by the Earth´s magnetic field.
History
FaradyThe healing action of magnets has been known for several centuries. The word “magnet” is derived from the Greek town of Magnesia, where magnetic material – ferrous oxide in its natural form - was mined. Rumour has it (no evidence is available) that the Chinese knew and used magnets as long ago as 4500 B.C. In history, magnetic powder would be used for medical purposes, for example, in pills, enema or poultices. It was an ingredient in drinks believed to bring "eternal youth" etc. and poultices with magnetic powder worked very well with injuries, or after accidents, for headaches or for pains in the joints or back - or, in addition to this, with contused or swollen joints as well. Claudius, the Roman Emperor, was known for healing his gout in a bath full of "electric fish". Nowadays, we understand that these "electric fish" were crampfish (discharging an electric current on contact, thus generating an electromagnetic field). Between 1649 and 1655, the first artificial permanent magnets were made of carbon steel in Swiss and German iron works. Magnets and electromagnets designed for medical purposes were first made in 1826-1928, by W. Sturgeon (an Englishman) and J. Henry (an American). These scientists were followed by Faraday, Maxwell and Herz, who investigated the matter much more deeply. However, the scientific foundations of magnetotherapy were established by the end of 19th century and at the beginning of 20th century, linked to the development of physics, chemistry and electrophysiology. The beginning of the theory of the electromagnetic field is connected with J. C. C. Maxwell, an English physician, who discovered the basic properties of the electromagnetic field and, in 1864, presented a general theory of electrical and magnetic phenomena through what were known as the Maxwell equations. As regards our country, the man who revived magnetotherapy was Mr. Gruner (in the 70s). Later, Mr. Jeřabek (80s) presented the practical results of magnetotherapy with various types of diseases, followed by Mr. Chvojka, who made a huge effort to heal serious fractures using magnetotherapy. In Japan and the USA, patients have the opportunity to consult professional magnetotherapists about their health problems, who can prescribe a comprehensive regime including food supplements and physical exercise. It is a sort of paradox of these modern times that magnetotherapy, which in statistical terms has the highest success rate of all the known medical methods, the lowest cost and the lowest potential risk, is beyond mainstream methods. Moreover, it tends to be seen as a “last choice” method, being used after other "more traditional" methods have failed. At present, many medical experts – perhaps more than before – accept the concept of prevention both in the general and the subclinical stages of diseases. Expert counselling provided by physicians in the field of magnetic instruments may be a great help for many people suffering from sub-clinical problems involving nerve disorders, the locomotive system, the skin, and other organs. Recently, interest has been growing in various countries in the world and magnetotherapy is becoming more and more widespread. Numerous medical devices and instruments have been designed and manufactured. According to American sources, in 1996, magnetic therapeutic devices worth 1,050 million dollars were sold, while in 1999 the figure was more than 3 thousand million dollars. Nowadays, there are more than 200,000 scientists working in magnetism-related research in various countries. The description of the processes relating to the magnetic field is inseparably linked with the description of a general natural phenomenon, the electromagnetic field. A changing magnetic field forms an electric field, and vice versa. If the properties of the field are derived and given by the intensity vector E, we call it an electric field. The intensity of the homogenous electric field E is the voltage U (in volts) divided by the distance between two points d (in metres). E = U/d (V/m). If the properties of the field are derived and given by the intensity vector H, we call it a magnetic field. The intensity of the magnetic field H - is directly proportional to the current flowing through the wire, and indirectly proportional to the distance from the wire - expressed in units, it is (A/m), in other words, the principal characteristics are the density of the magnetic lines of force and the magnetic induction B - determined by the force that the magnetic field exerts upon the wire. The unit of magnetic induction (force) in the international CGS unit system is the gauss (G), after Friedrich Gauss, the mathematician; some time later the tesla (T) was introduced (T = 10 000 G (1 G = 0.0001 T). In magnetotherapy, it is usually the militesla (mT) that is used (l mT = 10 G). The rapid development of modern forms of technology, including those used in medicine and healthcare, is linked to the latest findings concerning the magnetic field put into practice. Magnetic fields are used in engineering, transport, information and communication. Without application of the magnetic field, we would not have many sophisticated diagnostic methods such as magnetic resonance
Effectiveness of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy in the management of Osteoarthritis of the knee
Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, Medical University of Vienna; 2009 March
“In conclusion, our study provides evidence for a beneficial effect of PEMF on scores in general and ADL in specific for patients with OA of the knee. Our results showed no significant effect on pain, but left enough space for improvement to significant values in forthcoming, larger studies (28). These findings suggest that PEMF might be a useful and effective addition to the conservative management of OA of the knee. Future studies are needed to prove this assumption right or wrong.”
In this acceptance address for the Bioelectromagnetics Society’s 2001 d’Arsonval Award, Dr. Tenforde reviews the highlights of the nonionizing field aspects of his research and scientific service career. These are focused in four areas: (a)development and application of microelectrophoretic methods to probe the surface chemistry of normal and cancerous cells; (b)research on the biophysical mechanisms of interaction and the dosimetry of static and extremely low frequency magnetic fields; (c)application of extremely high intensity magnetic fields in several spectroscopic methods for probing the detailed structures of large biological macromolecules; and (d)development of national and international guidelines for the exposure of workers and members of the general public to electromagnetic fields with frequencies spanning the entire nonionizing electromagnetic spectrum.
Prevention of osteoporosis by pulsed electromagnetic fields
Rubin CT, McLeod KJ, Lanyon LE. J Bone Joint Surg Am; 1989 Mar;71(3):411-7
Using an animal model, we examined the use of pulsed electromagnetic fields, induced at a physiological frequency and intensity, to prevent the osteoporosis that is concomitant with disuse. By protecting the left ulnae of turkeys from functional loading, we noted a loss of bone of 13.0 per cent compared with the intact contralateral control ulnae over an eight-week experimental period. Using a treatment regimen of one hour per day of pulsed electromagnetic fields, we observed an osteogenic dose-response to induced electrical power, with a maximum osteogenic effect between 0.01 and 0.04 tesla per second. Pulse power levels of more or less than these levels were less effective. The maximum osteogenic response was obtained by a decrease in the level of intracortical remodeling, inhibition of endosteal resorption, and stimulation of both periosteal and endosteal new-bone formation. These data suggest that short daily periods of exposure to appropriate electromagnetic fields can beneficially influence the behavior of the cell populations that are responsible for bone-remodeling, and that there is an effective window of induced electrical power in which bone mass can be controlled in the absence of mechanical loading.
Bioelectromagnetics in morphogenesis
Levin M. Bioelectromagnetics; 2003 Jul;24(5):295-315
Understanding the factors that allow biological systems to reliably self-assemble consistent, highly complex, four dimensional patterns on many scales is crucial for the biomedicine of cancer, regeneration, and birth defects. The role of chemical signaling factors in controlling embryonic morphogenesis has been a central focus in modern developmental biology. While the role of tensile forces is also beginning to be appreciated, another major aspect of physics remains largely neglected by molecular embryology: electromagnetic fields and radiations. The continued progress of molecular approaches to understanding biological form and function in the post genome era now requires the merging of genetics with functional understanding of biophysics and physiology in vivo. The literature contains much data hinting at an important role for bioelectromagnetic phenomena as a mediator of morphogenetic information in many contexts relevant to embryonic development. This review attempts to highlight briefly some of the most promising (and often underappreciated) findings that are of high relevance for understanding the biophysical factors mediating morphogenetic signals in biological systems. These data originate from contexts including embryonic development, neoplasm, and regeneration.
Effects of Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMFs) on Stress
William Pawluk, MD, MSc; 2002 December
There are many approaches to preventing and managing stress reactions. Once a stress reaction is initiated it is difficult to turn off immediately. The reaction is immediate but the recovery takes hours to days. Since the effects of stress are cumulative, a daily routine of reducing the physiologic response becomes necessary to ward off long-term damage. One approach to reducing the physiologic response to the effects of daily stress is whole body pulsed magnetic field (PEMF) therapy.
Pain Management with Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) Treatment
William Pawluk, MD, MSc: 2003 March
Pain patients with lumbar radiculopathy or whiplash syndrome had a PEMF applied twice a day for two weeks and their pain medications decreased. Radiculopathy pain relief happened in 8 days in the PEMF group vs 12 days in the controls. Headache pain was halved in the PEMF group and one third less of neck and shoulder/arm pain vs control.
An Interview with William Pawluk, MD, MSc Russ Mason, MS: Alternative and Complementary Therapies Journal, Vol. 8, No. 2, April 2002
Dr. Pawluk’s exploration of a broad range of healing modalities led to his major interest in using magnets and electromagnetic energy to support the healing and written process… In this interview, Dr. Pawluk describes the winding course of his life’s work, and his interest in energy medicine–including medical uses of magnetism–with author Russ Mason.
Connectable applicators for Biomag pulsed magnetic therapy devices
Connectable applicators are an integral part of Biomag pulsed magnetic therapy devices. Without applicators, magnetic therapy cannot be applied and the positive effects of the magnetic field cannot be utilised. Find out which Biomag magnetic therapy applicators can be used and what they are predetermined for.
Flat Biomag magnetic therapy applicators
Flat applicators are divided into one-part and multi-part applicators. Multi-part applicators can be triggered in single, alternate or sequential mode. For multi-part applicators triggered in single mode, the polarity of the neighbouring components is always opposite, so the intensity of the magnetic field is not reduced when the applicator is assembled. This interaction does not occur with applicators that are triggered alternately (labelled "2C") or sequentially (labelled "3D"), therefore, the polarity of all parts on each side of the applicator is identical. For programs labelled 3D, the pulses from the system to the applicator are transmitted at regular time intervals over and over again, and assembling or bringing the components closer to each other (ideally in the shape of a triangle) leads to a rotational effect which significantly improves the effect of the magnetic field on the body. This solution for the applicator and transmitted pulses from the device is protected by a Biomag® patent.
Solenoid-type Biomag magnetic therapy applicators
Solenoid-type Biomag magnetic therapy applicators have a homogeneous magnetic field. They are used when we need a uniform effect from the magnetic field, and when deep penetration into the tissue is required (e.g. joints of limbs). A further increase in the effects of the solenoids can be achieved by using solenoids labelled 3D (i.e. solenoids in which Biomag® proprietary technology is used). For all applicators, the range of the pulsed magnetic field can be checked using the Biomag® tester.
Local Biomag magnetic therapy applicators
The AL16-LUM (Alfa) local applicator combines an effective pulsed magnetic field with polarised light. When applied, a combination of pulsed magnetic field and polarised light can be used, or polarised light can be switched off using the switch button to use the applicator for pulsed magnetic therapy only. When applying pulsed magnetic therapy without polarised light, it can be performed even through clothes or a textile cushion. If both effects are to be used, the applicator is applied directly on the skin at the location to be treated. Polarised light emitted from the applicator is activated by the same frequency that the pulsed magnetic field is currently using.

Smertelidelser rammer de fleste. De utløsende årsakene kan være mange, fra stress/depresjoner til fysiske skader, men fysiologisk sett er det mer ensartet. Et smertesignal blir sendt fra et nervefiber (for eksempel i foten), videre opp i ryggsøylen og til hjernen der meldingen blir mottatt.
Et smertesignal blir sendt fra et nervefiber (for eksempel i foten), videre opp i ryggsøylen og til hjernen der meldingen blir mottatt. Noen ganger er smerten akutt, man brenner seg på fingrene og flytter dem eller de kan bli kroniske. Kroniske smertersignaler kan fortsette å sende beskjeder til hjernen selv om den utløsende årsaken ikke lenger er til stede. Det har oppstått en kronisk elektrisk ubalanse, og før «strømmen slås av» vil smerten fortsette å være der. Uavhengig av opprinnelig årsak har smertesignalene noe felles, de er elektriske.
Skala som viser økende helseproblem med sykende spenning i cellemembraen
Problemer oppstår i celler og organer når den elektriske spenningen i cellemembranen synker under -70 mV. En celle med optimalt elektrisk potensial har optimal pH, god oksygentilgang, alle essensielle mineraler til stede og produserer nok av energimolekylet ATP (adenosin trifosfat). Klinikk for integrert medisin har spesialisert seg på elektromedisin. Vi benytter mikrostrøm- og pulserende magnetfeltterapi, som er godt dokumentert, effektivt og direkte påvirker cellenes energiproduksjon. Det er m.a.o. slik at oppstår det situasjoner i celler/organer der den elektriske spenningen er for lav («batteriet i cellene har for lite strøm»), vil det utløses smertesignaler. Feilspenningen i cellebatteriet er et sikkert tegn på problemer. Kroppen vil forsøke å øke blodsirkulasjonen og øke den elektriske aktiviteten i området slik at cellene og dermed skaden kan repareres. Når den elektriske tilstanden er normalisert, vil smerten opphøre. Har du fått en vellykket behandling, har den også løst det elektriske problemet. "Har du en ødelagt lyspære, nytter det ikke å sette en pille i stikkontakten, men å bytte lyspære (løse det elektriske problemet)".
