Pulsed magnetic field therapy applies a magnetic field to the cells, which sends a signal that influences the interaction of ions which have a natural electric current flowing through them. These signals initiate biologic reactions which accelerate healing. PMFT is applied with the use of a jacket, which allows the dog to sit, stand, walk, or lie down while receiving therapy.

All the cells of the body have a weak, natural electric current flowing through them. The currents are caused by electrically charged particles in the cells called ions. Ions affect the metabolism, or the work of the cell. PMFT is a method of applying a magnetic field to the cell which sends a weak electrical signal, influencing the interaction of the ions, and the flow of nutrients in the cell. Enhanced circulation and nutrient exchange can speed the healing process and reduce down time.

No, unlike magnetic field therapy, with PST the magnetic field only serves as the "carrier" for the electrically pulsed signals. The magnetic field allows these signals to penetrate the injury unchanged. Without the magnetic field, the pulsating signals would be distorted by varying density of the surrounding tissue.

It is an alternative treatment method which can even be used to treat serious illnesses with sometimes unbelievable therapeutic success - this has been proved in international medical and scientific studies. Well-intentioned explanations refer to it as a biological treatment method. However, that is a generalization. Magnetic Field Therapy is actually one of the oldest treatment methods around, and it is based on physical principles.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is an effective way to rejuvenate the skin, giving it a more youthful appearance. Light-based treatments use a less-intense, broader spectrum of light than lasers, but are effective in treating rejuvenation of the skin. Candela's Ellipse I2PL is the only light-based product that is built specifically to dual-filter light as it is absorbed, thereby generating more consistent results.

Magnetic fields are historically described in terms of their effect on electric charges. A moving electric charge, such as an electron, will accelerate in the presence of a magnetic field, causing it to change velocity and its direction of travel. This is, for example, the principle used in televisions, computer monitors, and other devices with CRTs (cathode-ray tubes). In a CRT, electrons are emitted from a hot filament.

No, it is not harmful and actually can be stimulating for short periods of time. No problem with sitting on the bed to put on socks, talk to someone, etc. You just wouldn't want to be in it all night long.

The most effective form of signalling cells is to send a series of magnetic pulses, of the proper frequency and wave form to stimulate cellular action. The Bio-Pulse systems generate a frequency and wave form which was recommended as the most effective by Dr. C.A. Bassett in his landmark work at Columbia University Hospital.

Fields fill the space between matter and they determine how it is that bits of matter can exert forces on other bits of matter at a distance. There are several different fields in nature, and their reality is demonstrated by our observation of the forces with which they are associated. So, for example, gravitational fields determine how it is that objects with mass are attracted together by a gravitational force.

NightStar can affect a pacemaker's normal mode of operation. If the heart rate of a person with a pacemaker drops below a preset value (typically 85 beats per minute), an internal sensor monitoring the person's heart rate activates the pacemaker. A pacemaker will not send electrical signals to a person's heart unless their heart rate drops below the preset value.

A great source for information on magnets used for health reasons is a book by Gary Null, PH.D. called "Healing With Magnets". You can find quite a lot of information online but just remember to consider the source. It is best to find an author who doesn't have their own agenda (like selling their own "special" magnets).

Pulsed Signal Therapy, or PST, is an exciting, non-invasive medical technology used to treat arthritis, sports-type injuries, and repetitive stress injuries. The technology produces an electromagnetic field through which a pulsed signal is directed to the affected area, stimulating the healing process.

Magnetic fields play a key role in biological life. A magnetic field is created when a conductor is crossed by an electrical current. Magnetic fields arranged around single conductors are summed in a coil producing a density of magnetic force lines. If current produced in this way flows in pulses, then a pulsed magnetic field is created.

Put briefly and simply, the principle is to apply appropriate stimulation and thereby to help the body heal itself. It is not just the symptoms, such as pain and other complaints, but the very source of these problems, the illness itself that is alleviated or eliminated by the therapy. The biomagnetic pulses activate the cellular metabolism; at the same time, the cells are supplied with more oxygen.

When treatment is applied using the Bio Medici device, quite specific and positively stimulating biomagnetic pulses are used - a broad frequency spectrum of pulses with corresponding harmonic waves.

provide relief in the case of chronic joint diseases such as arthritis, rheumatism, and osteoporosis and even stop the disease process this point, it must be stressed once more that the therapy provided by the Bio Medici should also be used for preventive purposes. But a combined treatment is also possible, i.e. the drugs which one takes have a much better, enhanced effect when combined with Magnetic Field Therapy. (You will also read about this in the following reports.

The unique component of magnetic therapy is E.M.F. which stands for a multi-directional Electro Magnetic Force which relieves pain and promotes healing.

Pulsed Light has been used commercially for a variety of cosmetic procedures for the last 2 or 3 years. It is light energy, just like a laser, but it is not a concentrated beam and it uses a wider range of the light wavelength spectrum. Lasers, used in other industries, were adapted for cosmetic procedures about 10 years ago.

Elementary physics states that the magnetic field of a magnetic dipole is approximately proportional to the inverse square of the distance from the dipole. Therefore, if you double the distance from the magnet, the magnetic field strength will be reduced (roughly) by a factor of 4.
