David, electromagnetic (EM) therapy is not new and quite known in the medical world. Any variation of a magnetic field is creating and electric filed. The human body acts as an EM generator through two important organs: hearth and brain. Any interaction between an EM field (even created by your 60Hz AC power supply and up to microwaves radiations) is interacting with our body. The magnetic field from EM pulses is used (at least in the Europe) for many treatments, I remember healing the bones cartilages or transcranial magnetic stimulation. As energy, two types of pulses are used: power pulses (as those used in Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and weak pulses (used in bioresonance). You can find more by reading (scientific) medical papers. best wishes, Vasile On Sat, Jul 26, 2014 at 2:38 AM, David VanHorn wrote: > I am highly skeptical, but not blind to new information.
