PEMFT
An electromagnetic blanket in use
standard issue in most space suits and space stations, including the MIR space station – with NASA’s own research underpinning many of the medical devices on the market today. This includes units that were originally developed by New Zealander Dr Bob Grace, a passionate PEMFT advocate who worked alongside prominent men such as American Dr Linus Pauling, the twotime Nobel Prize winner, who once stated: “PEMF is a benefit for Mankind from infant to the geriatric. PEMF will lead to a change in the paradigm of medicine.” Medicine has since taken a rather different route. However, there are a growing number of advocates of PEMFT, which has led to the modern units available on the market today. Zero field studies, where PEMFs are blocked using a Faraday cage, have been conducted on earth with both laboratory animals and human subjects. These studies have found that in just a matter of hours with zero exposure to healthy PEMFs, cell metabolism begins to break down, causing bone loss, muscle weakness, depressed metabolism, disorientation, and depression. It makes sense, then, that the specific application of PEMFs to cells not performing at optimum level can have a therapeutic effect. This type of therapy is still relatively new and remains at the edge of conventional
and complementary medicine, despite many scientifically validated articles that confirm and attest to its efficacy. It doesn’t help that the research is also rather complex, because of the complexity of the science behind it. The average person’s inability to fully understand it, however, is not stopping the therapy from attracting significant interest. Many racehorse trainers use devices as a reparative technique in the field of orthopaedics for the treatment of fractures, failed fusions, depression, and congenital pseudarthrosis. However, bespoke solutions are increasingly being created for trainers who recognise the wider benefits. In addition to the therapy’s healing capacities, PEMFs can have a profound

calming effect on horses at the correct frequency, so equipment is being fitted to horseboxes, as well as stables. A horse that is well rested and calm following transit can invariably perform a lot better than one that is highly stressed. Similarly, a horse whose cells are performing at optimum level will certainly have a competitive edge, which also explains why more trainers are using PEMFT devices on perfectly healthy racehorses as a means to maximise performance and boost recovery.
The main benefits of PEMF therapy are: Stronger bones; Endorphins and pain relief; l More energy ATP (adenosine triphosphate); l Better oxygenation and circulation; l Improved immunity; l Relaxation and stress reduction; l Nerve and tissue regeneration. l l
STRONGER BONES
Healthy bones are one of the most important keys to living a long, healthy, and active life. One of the earliest discoveries of PEMF was its effect on the healing and strengthening of bones. A low frequency earth-type PEMF signal has been shown to stimulate the osteoblast cells in the bones to produce bone matter. The mechanism for ISSUE 53 TRAINERMAGAZINE.COM
