Thirty-four years ago I was taking steroids and other harsh drugs to manage the symptoms of a disease that had no cure. While the drugs didn’t appear to be effective, I continued taking them because that was the only option my doctor gave me.
Fast-forward 34 years – I take no drugs, I have no symptoms and I feel better at 54 than I did at 20. So, what happened? I discovered Functional medicine and PEMF therapy.
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Functional medicine evolved from other forms of medicine specifically to address chronic conditions that didn’t respond well, or at all, to drugs or surgery.
Functional medicine combines the testing from conventional medicine (blood work, lab work) with the ‘treatment’ from alternative medicine (nutritional therapy) to identify the underlying cause of the problem and then to give the body the nutritional support it needs to correct the problem. The reason why Functional medicine works so well with chronic diseases is that it addresses the underlying cause of the problem at the cellular level.
All we are is a collection of cells. Therefore, all problems can be traced back to the cell – or, more accurately, cellular dysfunction.
As good as Functional medicine is for difficult chronic conditions, it does have one major flaw – for it to be effective, its remedy must make its way inside cells. Unfortunately, there are a number of things that can slow down or prevent Functional medicine’s remedy from making its way into the cells, including inflammation, poor circulation, a build up of toxins inside the cell, and low cellular energy.
CELLULAR DYSFUNCTION
Our cells are like tiny, self-charging batteries. If they have a strong electrical charge everything runs smoothly. But, as our cells begin to lose their charge, they become dysfunctional.
The way that our cells generate their charge is by converting the oxygen and nutrients in the blood into electrical energy (ATP). So anything that restricts blood flow into the cells will cause cellular dysfunction.
PEMF THERAPY
PEMF therapy ‘clears a path’ to the cells by blocking the things that could prevent FM’s remedy from getting into the cells.
It does that by decreasing inflammation and increasing circulation, which allows the remedy to make its way to the cells.
It then opens up the cell’s membrane to allow the remedy to make its way into the cells. Opening up the membrane also allows toxins to flow out of the cells.
PEMF therapy also increases ENERGY at the cellular level. This is why PEMF therapy and Functional medicine are the right combination for even the most difficult chronic conditions.
WHAT IS PEMF THERAPY?
PEMF therapy is a natural, non-invasive therapy that uses pulsed magnetic fields to reverse the 5 underlying causes associated with virtually every chronic condition known to man; Inflammation, Poor Circulation, Cellular Toxicity, Blocked Receptor Sites, and Low Cellular Energy.
PEMF therapy is safe and effective. It has been approved by the FDA, is currently being used by NASA and has ZERO reported long-term side effects.
WHAT DOES PEMF FEEL LIKE?
Our patients have described PEMF therapy as “feeling like a deep tissue massage that leaves you feeling relaxed and energized.”
PEMF THERAPY DEVICES
Not all PEMF devices are the same. This creates confusion because all PEMF device manufacturers reference the same medical studies as proof of what their device can do.
Having used dozens of PEMF devices, it is my opinion that only one PEMF device has the power and flexibility to reproduce the types of results seen in the studies – and that would be the NRG Pro.
So, if you have used a different device and didn’t see the results that you expected to see, you should try the NRG Pro before you dismiss PEMF therapy altogether.
THERE IS HOPE!
If you’ve been told there’s nothing you can do about your condition or if you’ve been told that drugs or surgery are your only options – please visit our website and look at the list of conditions that we’ve been able to help people with and watch our patient testimonial videos because there is a very good chance that Functional medicine along PEMF therapy may be able to help you.
