PEMF and myelinated neurons
This post was inspired by an MD using PEMF who was convinced that PEMF was enabling saltatory conductance by myelinated fivers. In the original experiments of Luigi Galvani and his frog legs in which nerves were impaled with electrodes ]1] This post is written for MDs and other with a very good background in…

slew Rate and ICES
Two presenters at the PEMFcon October 2024 meeting claimed that higher slew rates were better than slow rates. The slew rate is the change in voltage with time. Whys is this important? Robert Dennis of Pulse Health was at the center of some of the early research. This post also intrudes Pulse Health ICES…

IVDD and PEMF
This post examines the claim that PEMF is a good treatment for intervertebral disc disease. Will a static magnetic field work or is it some sort of Faraday’s Induction getting charged particles to move? An extensive Background Education is presented to give the reader a visual of how stagnant and crowded matrices are in…

Does PEMF cause membrane leaks?
This post examines the claim that PEMF opens up lipid bilayers making them more permeable. Phosphatidylcholine is a dominant phospholipid in the outer leaflet. The head groups have a positive and negative charged atoms. Egg phosphatidyl choline is part of the featured image as is flavin adenine dinucleotide, a suspected “antenna” for PEMF. Can…

PEMF and diabetic foot ulcers
The published clinical trials for use of PEMF to treat diabetic foot ulcers are somewhat promising but not really there to prove a mechanism of action. WikiMedia Commons images of diabetic foot ulcers are featured at the top of this post to give impression that this is a horrifying condition. Wikipedia authors have created…
