Muscle twitching and PEMF
•
Many of the high power PEMF device practitioners see muscle twitching, tiny little contractions, as evidence that PEMF is giving the tissue a “cellular workout.” Many claim that voltage gated calcium channels are opened by PEMF. Some practitioners are completely and totally without a clue as to whole complicated things are. The featured image…

28 kHz PEMF mitochondria
•
This post follows a mitochondria PEMF study partially funded by Hofmeir Magnetics Ltd, Reading, UK, the source of the device. The mitochondrial energetics work was performed by the Austrian not-for-profit organization Trauma Care Consult GmbH. The study sought to establish a mechanism. This study if very unique in the interrogation of various mitochondrial respiratory…

Red Light and PEMF
•
This post reviews a pilot study investigating the combination of optical and magnetic stimulation. (COMS) to treat chronic venous leg ulcers. . The devices used in this study may be replicated with commercially available magnetic and optical stimulation devices. The etiology of venous leg ulcers is complex. Treatments are usually compression stockings and other…

Singlet oxygen
•
This is not a “feel good” post. Photodynamic therapy, photobiomodulation, can produce singlet oxygen. Just a little of a good thing can be healing. Over a certain threshold can lead to cell death. Three review articles have been shown to illustrate this phenomenon of why this is so. One thing that sets Red Light…

near infrared and lymphatic vessels
•
The essence of this post is that 1267 nm near infrared light (NIR)activates clearance of particles from mouse brains via the generation of the weakly reactive oxygen species singlet oxygen. This model is consistent with what we know about lymphatic vessel pulsing and singlet oxygen modifications to contractile proteins. The bigger question is if…
