    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…

    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…

    Cryptochrome and Red Biophotons

    The goal of this post was to address the issue of biophotons as they relate to the game changing PEMF company QuantumTx. It is becoming evident that light absorbing cryptochromes play an important role in this therapy. Indeed, cryptochromes are also magnetic field sensors. The concept of biophotons has been proposed as a PEMF…

    PEMF and complex II

    succinate dehydrogenase (SDH: SDHA-D), is made up of four protein subunits along with iron-sulfur (FeS) centers. Complex Portal links t the Swiss site UniProt.org. UniPort annotates the amino acid sites of proteins that interact with substrates and cofactors. Toda and coworkers 23023 investigated the effect of optimized extremely low frequency weak magnetic fields (Opti-ELF-WMF)…

    Assisi Loop targets

    Assisi Animal Health markets a pulsed radio frequency electromagnetic emitting device that has been specifically designed to facilitate the binding of Ca2+ to small and very well conserved protein called calmodulin. This device has been through numerous clinical trials with promising results. Much of the marketing seems to be focused on CaCaM activating nitric…
