A few months ago, we took my mother-in-law for PEMF Therapy to try to help her Parkinson's and it didn't seem to work. 3 days a week for a month. (Pulsed Magnetic Therapy - Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy)
However,
My wife and I did it too, figuring it wouldn't harm us (a ‘real’ doctor told us we had nothing to lose - it wouldn't hurt us and it might or might not help).
I noticed a huge improvement in my vision - I'm farsighted and could actually read fine print. Well the PEMF place was 5 hours away (round trip), and although the treatments weren't that expensive (he took donations), the gasoline and time consumed was too much. So after a month of it not helping my mother-in-law's Parkinson's, we quit going - it's a 5 hour round trip and that's too much.
As time went on, my vision reverted to it's pre-PEMF state (Sadly the improvement wasn't permanent).
So I started looking on the Internet for these devices, and I see price tags of $3000 or so and claims of anti-aging, nerve regeneration, arthritis relief, and so on.
Of course, I'm skeptical, especially at those price tags.
So I'm wondering, especially about the nerve regeneration process. I had ear problems, and a couple of misdiagnoses and a couple of ENT doctors before the problem was solved.
The problem that was occurring with frequency hasn't reared it's ugly head in well over a year with dust mite protection in my home and daily low dose children's Dimetapp.
Layman's description - I have an allergy to dust mites (verified by a RAST test). The dust mite protein in my system caused a severe inflammation response. This cut off the blood supply to some of the cilia nerve cells (hair cells) in my inner ear - high frequency is most affected. This makes it difficult to understand what people are saying, even with the prescribed hearing aids.
So I know, I'm desperate for a cure, even when everything on the Internet says nothing can be done yet. They are talking about 5 years or more for stem cell human trials.
So my thinking is that PEMFt obviously benefited my eyes so it does something and IF (and I know that's a big IF):
1) There is a chance it might help my ears
2) There is a chance it might do other good things for me like anti-aging
3) Prolonged treatment wouldn't harm me
I might give it a try.
Does anybody know anything about this?
If it does work, I need to know all about it. One site says low power sawtooth waves are best, another says high power sine waves are best (etc.), and each manufacturer says their system is best and the other methods don't work.
If I can't get meaningful information from someone other than the manufacturer, I'm not going to spring for $3000 worth of placebo. If all it does is improve my vision, I can get new eyeglasses for much less.
Thanks

I have also been researching various machines and I have not yet resolved which one to purchase. I know the frequency specific microcurrent treatment has been recommended by some practitioners for vision issues. Glad to hear you had great results with the pemf. It may seem like a simplistic answer but if you had good results with the machine you used, perhaps you should consider that brand of machine. And yes, $3-4000 does seem like a fair amount of money but you have already tried out the brand that worked for you, and you could probably use the machine for other problems as well. I have seen much higher prices for pemf machines. Good luck with your research! |

The machine I used was at a clinic and not for sale :( |

I believe this may be something similar to the Dr Robert Beck's Microbe Electrifier (http://www.dragonfly75.com/eng/BE-instr.html). |

I still don't have a recommendation on a pemf machine but I did come across this article on mercola.com & thought I would post just fyi: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/01/26/zinc-improve-hearing-loss.aspx |

I've had contact with the guy who treated us. He wants to market his machines and is looking for an investor, but can't sell them yet. |

Still looking. I read that they use PEMF in the space station and in the space suits as supposedly the body won't function without it. |

Thought I would pass along the sites I have found on pemf. There are a variety of opinions of course. What brand of machine did you use? I have no real insight, just searching like you. You may have seen these sites but this is what I have come across so far: (Hope you find something useful.) |

I forgot to m mention that Dr Robert Beck also invented a magnetic pulser. This operates at a much lower frequency than you may wish for, but has the advantage of being fairly cheap and so worth exploring. |
