PEMF and aorta stiffening
This post reviews Kavat 2009, a study showing that PEMF similar to that produced by many holistic medicine device can lessen like of responsiveness of aorta from rodents with a chemically induced form of diabetes. A device used to measure aorta stiffness in humans is also presented.

This post takes the Devil’s Advocate position that many of the PEMF devices on the market specifically for vagus nerve stimulation might not be stimulating the nerve directly but rather, hypothetically, clearing away toxins from un-stirred regions around the nerve itself. The featured images of the vagus nerve from a human cadaver bring home…

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…
