PEMF and bone healing
PEMF has been examined for 40+ years as a means of helping bones heal themselves. The Magnawave Semi-10 uses frequencies between 1-20 Hz depending on the setting. The magnetic field has a max of 4,700 G at the highest setting. As the setting increases the frequency decreases and the magnetic field increases. A table…

PEMF for inflammation
Professional organizations like MagnaWave and AOPP claim that PEMF relieves inflammation. How this happens is largely unknown. The featured image came from a review on how charges in solution line up on surface charges. from metals, to metal oxides, to ion exchange membranes, and finally biological membranes. Some images of skin and bone joints…

Magnawave & Schumann Resonances
One of the AOPP certification classes was taught by a chiropractor, Dr. Jerry Dreessen, who uses Magnawave/Aurawell equipment. Some PEMF frequencies were claimed to have tissue specific therapeutic properties. Was this personal experience or something in the literature? Magnawave has Schumann Resonances (featured image) embedded in 50→1 Hz of each power setting. The relative…

PEMF and voltage gated calcium channels
Normally the inside of the cell is negatively charged relative to the outside. When the membrane depolarizes (the side becomes more positive), the S4 helix moves through the S4 and S5 linkers to the cytoplasmic ends of the S5 and S6 helices. This opens the activation gate which is formed by the inner side…
