PEMF Treats Cancer and Improves Oxygen Delivery

Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) is FDA approved to promote the healing of
non-healing bone unions and has been used in Europe for over 20 years in 400,000
sessions with individuals with cancer, migraines, sports related injuries, wound healing
and other pain syndromes. PEMF-based anticancer strategies represent a new therapeutic
approach to treat breast cancer without affecting normal tissues in a manner that is non-
invasive and can be potentially combined with existing anti-cancer treatments.

Costa et al (2011) reported surprising clinical benefits from using the specific EMF
signals to treat advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, stabilizing the disease and even
producing partial responses up to 58 months in a subset of the patients. Now
Zimmerman et al have examined the growth rate of human tumor cell lines from liver
and breast cancers along with normal cells from those tissues exposed to AM-
EMF. Reduced growth rate was observed for tumor cells exposed to tissue-specific
AM-EMF, but no change in growth rate in normal cells derived from the same tissue type,
or in tumor or normal cells from the other tissue type.

In layman’s terms, low-frequency pulses create a brief, intense voltage around each cell.
The mitochondria within the cell grab some of this energy. This, in turn, makes the cell
more efficient at producing ATP and delivering oxygen throughout the body. PEMF
therapy supports the metabolism and increases the blood flow by dilating micro
capillaries throughout the whole body allowing all cells to breath and function better.

All biological process, including the metabolism of every single cell, are substantially
based on electromagnetic energy. Only an organism which is sufficiently supplied with
energy can control the self-regulating mechanisms and powers of regeneration and
healing. One of the common constituents of all cells are ions. Ions are positively and
negatively charged particles that conduct electro-magnetic pulses from within the cell.
The electro-magnetic pulses allow the cell to function. PEMFs affect ion flow through
specific cell membrane channels (like those for sodium, potassium, and calcium), which
positively affect these enzymes. Without ions, a cell cannot live. Without sufficient
energy fields cells do not function at 100%.

Diseased or damaged cells have an altered rest potential. If the ions (electrically charged
particles surrounding the cells) move into an area of pulsating magnetic fields, they will
be influenced by the rhythm of the pulsation. The rest potential of the cell is proportional
to the ion exchange occurring at the cell membrane. The ion exchange is also responsible
for the oxygen utilization of the cell. Pulsating magnetic fields can dramatically influence
the ion exchange at the cellular and sub cellular levels and thereby greatly improve the
oxygen utilization of diseased or damaged tissues. The deterioration of the oxygen
utilization is known to be a problem in several medical branches, especially in delayed
healing and arthritis of joints. Poor oxygen utilization = increased oxidative stress that
results in worse oxygen utilization.
