Calcium alginate gels are used extensively for dermal wound healing. This post includes excerpts from three vendors’ websites. PEMF is also used for wound healing. Could the two work together? I could not find any peer reviewed publications that I really liked. The structures I found for “egg box” Ca2+ alginate reminded me of…

This post explains how heavy metals muck up sulfate transport in our kidneys and perhaps small intestine too. Could a little bit of PEMF just stir things up so that heavy metals do not stick to key sulfate transporters? The featured image shows the Sodium Sulfate cotransporter expression in the kidney and small intestine.…

The featured image of this post is a MicroPulse ICES waveform and one from Re5 supplemental data referenced in this post. It is assumed that the rise time…

Desmin and mitohormesis
Hormesis is a two-phased dose-response relationship whereby low-dose exposures have a beneficial effect and high-doses toxic. Pulsed ElectroMagnetic (very low) Frequency (PEMF) mitohormesis is the slight generation of reactive oxygen species that activates the transient receptor potential C1 (TRPC1) Ca2+ channel. Ca2+ signaling and mitochondrial adaptations are shared between magnetic fields and endurance training in…

I’ve taken a few online courses and learned so much from the discussion than from the actual course material. This post previews what I know about the methods used to generate the hypothesis that PEMF ameliorates the…
