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

Regarding my tinnitus, I started PEMFT in the summer of 2011 and started doing it in April 2012 - about a year ago.. With the first unit 8 minutes at the back of the skull and 16 minutes one each ear. |

Here is a HUGE 120mb .pdf scan of a book that can serve as a user's manual for PEMFt users. It explains how to apply the PEMFt coil(s) for a number of different diseases/dysfunctions. |

My mother-in-law has Parkinson's, and although it isn't a cure, it does help a lot. If she doesn't sleep with it for a day or two, it's obvious in her face. |
