Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Therapy(PEMF) Fact or Hoax???

[cookie]

I have been diagnosed with RA since 2005. The only damage I have is in my wrist which is constantly swollen and at times painful. I recently read about PEMF. Has anyone tried this treatment for inflamation and pain? Did it work or is it a hoax. Would love your feedback. Thank you.

My side effects of mino are hyperpigmentation of my face/neck and darkening of my gums and whites of eyes which is very distressing. Diagno

I have some experience with Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Therapy. Note – I didn’t know what it was when I first tried it. I first used an Ondamed System at my MD’s office. They ran a diagnostic program which said I had a blood infection. Anyway, after the diagnostic, the machine ran through a “repair” program specifically for my body using the data obtained by the diagnostic program. All of this took less that 45 minutes. I really didn’t understand anything about this machine. My MD said he would try it and if it worked for me I might want to continue to use it. I left the office feeling wonderful! Swelling came down in my hands, my ankles didn’t hurt for a change, my knees worked without pain or popping. I had a better attitude and felt mentally sharper than I had for a while. This lasted 4 days and then it was back to regular old me. I have used it a few more times. I felt good each time for a few days (although not as good as the first time). The problem is my doctor is about 2.5 hours from where I live. There is no Ondamed around where I live and this limits my usage. I tried another version of the therapy that was closer to home. I didn’t feel anything from that system, but strangely enough I did get several compliments later that day saying I looked better and had more color than I’d had for a while.

What kind of therapy are you considering?

Hi KyPeach.

Thanks for the information. I don’t know much about this therapy but my AP has a system and I’ll find out about it during my next visit. I’ll keep the Ondamed System in mind and hopefully he has this system. I’ll let you know if I do decide to try this therapy and my outcome.

Thank you

Hi: Thanks for your suggestion. What dosage of B6 would stop my wrist pain. I do take B vitamins along with others regularly.

I did Frequency Specific Microcurrent with my nutritionist. They ran a program to target specific problems. I went a few times and felt like it helped some. This was before I started AP. I wasn’t bold over by the effects and the price was on the high side, not covered by insurance. If I really thought it was making a difference, I might have continued.

Google the treatment and see what others say. You might give it a try and see if it helps. I also take B 6, magnesium (Natural Calm) and Osteo Bi-Flex with 5-Loxin advanced double strength. My wrists seem to have improved. But with caution, it is hard to pinpoint what is exactly helping when I am taking other supplements too. But I won’t give up anything right now as I am feeling pretty well.

Take 200-300mg everyday works great.

Hi Marybeth: I’m glad that you are feeling well. RA can take its toll on us and anytime we feel well is a bonus. Thanks for the list of vitamins etc. that you take. I’ll look into them for sure.

Hi Teresa: Thank you for the dosage on B6. I’ll have to purchase a separate B6 as my complex B vitamin states that the B6 is only 17 mg. It’s worth a try. Thanks again.
