Doctor OZ

We are really grateful to Dr. Oz (http://www.doctoroz.com/) His presentation last Thursday has led to an increased awareness of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy PEMFT here in America. The effect on our sales has been dramatic and we of course do hope that it will continue for a while longer.

If you are procrastinating  and delaying the decision to order a Curatron 2000 System then you may have to wait a while for the factory to catch up with demand. His article can be found at http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/ask-your-doctor-about-pulsed-electromagnetic-field-therapy

Call us if you need a system urgently and we will do our best to get you the system you need. Contact Information Can be found at http://www.curatron.com/contact.htm

Again. Thanks Dr. Oz!

Dr. OZ - Introducing PEMF

Let me begin by saying that Dr. Oz does not approve of or sponsor any particular product and his TV show discussed the technology of PEMF and not the names of the makers.

I am Chris Cane and our firm Amjo Corp specializes in the sale of PEMF systems at our website www.Curatron.com. The Curatron 2000 system is one of the workhorses of this field and Amjo has been selling Curatron 2000 systems here in the USA since the year 2000.

Over the last couple of days we’ve received a several phone calls from people who watched Dr. Oz’ TV show about Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy. If you missed it, the videos can be found at his website: www.doctoroz.com

PEMF of Pulsed Electromagetic Field Therapy is not new. It is however new to the medical profession here in the USA when it comes to the use of PEMF in the areas of pain relief. The FDA has approved the technology  for certain types of fracture healing and I learned that Health Canada has approved device for knee pain.

The quoted text that follows  “Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy is a new approach to pain management that uses magnets to create pulsing, moving energy. These energy waves could change the way your body copes with pain. Learn more about this new treatment. Could it work for you?

Added to Articles on Wed 11/16/2011
Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is FDA-approved to fuse bones and has been cleared in certain devices to reduce swelling and joint pain. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) work on the same physics.

This therapy has been used to treat pain and edema in soft tissue for over 60 years. The technology stemmed from radio frequency (RF) diathermy, which utilized a continuous electromagnetic field to produce heat in soft tissue.

A moving – or resonating – magnetic field can create currents without heating and thus directly alter cellular signaling. It has been firmly established that tissues including blood, muscle, ligaments, bone and cartilage respond to biophysical input, including electrical and electromagnetic fields. New studies show that with the proper field intensity and frequency, treatment with PEMF appears to be disease-modifying. The stimulation of TGFβ may be a mechanism by which PEMF favorably affects cartilage homeostasis. Through calcium-calmodulin-dependent pathways, PEMF may also increase nitric oxide activity.”

The man and his machine Panos Pappas demonstrates the power of his PAP-IMI by using a chain on his head to cause current to leap from the coil. He calls it "modern scientific alchemy" and "micro-lightning." Others call it "a piece of junk" and "the worst of the newest technologies."

There is another class of PEMF Devices that I find very scary. These are the machines sometimes referred to as PAPIMI or PAP-IMI (or PER-2000, PEMF- 100, Magnapulse, Deltapulse, Magnawave, Magnacharge, MG-33, Magnus Magnetica etc.) devices that generate huge very short pulses that instantaneously stimulate an area and then subside. I believe that the internal voltages reached in the cables that touch or surround your body are in excess of 30 kV (30,000 Volts). I find that very scary!

• PER 2000
• Magnapulse / PEMF 100
• MG-33 or Magnacharge
• Deltapulse
• Magnawave

There is an article that is still on-line at the Seattle Times by Christine Willmsen and Michael J. Berens that you should read. See SEATTLE TIMES 11-11-19, a print out of the article can be found here

The article opens with “A young mother in Los Angeles was desperate. A rare form of cancer was ravaging her 5-month-old son. Their doctor said chemotherapy offered the best hope for survival, a 1-in-4 chance.  Natalia Campos watched as her baby, Antonio, struggled in pain through the first few treatments. Then she learned of an alternative-therapy clinic that promised a cure, without pain, using a machine called a PAP-IMI.

Twice a day at the Bio-Energy Services clinic, Campos held Antonio while the 260-pound machine pulsed powerful electromagnetic waves into the tumor bulging from his neck. The treatments failed, and Antonio died Ï the victim not only of his cancer, but of what one health official later called a “major national health fraud.”

The man behind that fraud is Panos Pappas, a math professor from Athens, Greece, who invented the PAP-IMI. He sold the machines to scores of practitioners in the United States who used them to exploit patients. They avoided detection by taking advantage of federal regulations that allow them to operate on an honor system in clinical studies.

Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has linked Pappas’ machine to patient injuries and death, it has never warned the public about the dangers. And while the FDA in 2005 prohibited the use of the machine, The Seattle Times found PAP-IMIs in use in at least five states, including Washington. Among those offering treatments were a psychologist in State College, Pa.; a physician in Bellflower, Calif., and a former chiropractor in Issaquah.

FDA spokeswoman Karen Riley said the agency will “follow up on” the PAP-IMI, based on The Times’ findings.

Pappas, meanwhile, continues to insist the machine “is absolutely safe,” and that it “can cure cancer and AIDS.” From his Athens office, Pappas said: “I’m not sure the world is ready to understand the PAP-IMI. It goes beyond known human knowledge.”

” Devices keep coming

From Athens, Pappas stills makes and sells the PAP-IMI. The device can be found in more than a dozen countries, he said. And a technician continues to fix the devices in the U.S.

Before shipping out new machines, Pappas gives them a quality check, testing them on people who come in for free treatment, he said. Some people reported they felt less pain after being pulsed.

He is unbowed. “We are going to the rest of the world until they speak out,” he said. “Then the FDA has no choice.”

With the PAP-IMI prohibited from import into the U.S., makers of similar devices have seized its market.

Mike Davis, president of PEMF Systems in Las Vegas, designed a smaller, similar version of the PAP-IMI. His $20,000 device, the size of a small suitcase, is sold under a variety of names, including Magnapulse, Davis said. PEMF is not registered with the FDA. Davis said he plans to get approval to use the machines in a clinical study.

He talked to Times reporters at the Rife International Health Conference in Seattle last year. More than 300 attended the annual conference, a mecca for people buying and selling energy-medicine devices.

Davis said he sold three Magnapulses during the event, including one to a physician and one to an alternative-therapy cancer clinic.

He said he has sold 300 devices worldwide, about half in the United States. One of his Magnapulse distributors is the former national sales manager for Bio-Energy Services, Jerry Anderson.

After regulators shut down the PAP-IMI operation, they prohibited Anderson from selling or distributing any unapproved medical devices in California.

He can get around that: Anderson now lives in Hawaii…

What Ben Philipson says is:

“I am often asked “Can I use a PEMF device if I have a pacemaker or implant?”

The answer to this question is not straight forward and here follows some information about electromagnetic and static magnetic disturbance signals.

Many different frequencies and intensities are used in such devices, thus these warnings are in place because the resulting inducted intensities and frequencies are simply unpredictable.

PEMF devices powered by batteries, like bone growth stimulators, generate electromagnetic pulses (PEMF) with very limited energy levels. The energy generated during the pulsing time depends on the pulse width (= pulse duration) and pulse amplitude (like the volume on your radio) which form the amount of energy emitted during the pulse duration time.

Many makers of PEMF devices in their manuals, write that active implanted devices are contraindicated for use with pacemakers etc.

I suggest you read Ben’s Article at  http://www.pemft.com/Pacemakers-in-pemf-therapy

My feelings on this are similar to those of Ben but I live in a country with many lawyers and  litigators who would work till they died trying to prove that something we sold killed their patient. So let me be clear, I agree with Ben that I might use a Curatron 2000 system on my leg if I had an electronic implant in my chest BUT I WILL NOT AND CANNOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO THE SAME. This is a discussion that you should have with your doctor!

We reacted a couple of months ago to a request for a ‘travel mattress’. The folks at the factory were marvelous. Within a few days of the request, the new travel mattress was born. See http://www.curatron.com/curatron-2000-XP-Travel-Mattress.htm.  The Travel Mattress weighs in at about 4 lb (under 2 kg) and folds to 12″ x 14″ x 3″ (30 cm x 35 cm x 7 cm). I did receive an email from one of our customers on the US Ski Team and he said “Hi Chris, so far it’s been working out great. It’s so much easier to travel with.“

I guess that’s all I’m allowed to say!

It’s wonderful to be selling for a responsive factory.

A few of months ago the factory was contacted by a pharmacist who suffered from severe femoral avascular necrosis at both sides as result of Diabetes. He was in constant pain and had great difficulty walking and could hardly function anymore.

Avascular Necrosis MRI Image (Before)

His MRI clearly showed major problems and no doubt that in a short while he would end up in a wheelchair. Hip replacements would have been very problematic because both femurs were already in such a poor shape that it would be doubtful if it could be done at all.

He decided to purchase a PEMF Curatron 2000 XP model complete with high energy coil and treat himself daily for half an hour.

After 4 months he had a second MRI which clearly showed a substantial improvement of bone density in the affected areas.

Showing Marked Improvement after Four Months

These results can only be achieved with the Curatron because it has sufficient pulsed electromagnetic field intensity to penetrate the bones deep inside the body completely and redevelop blood supply to the affected bones, resulting in impressive increase in bone density within just a few months!

It is impossible to imagine these results with the very low power systems such as the MRS2000, Bemer 3000 and others. Low power devices simply do not offer or demonstrate the increase in bone density we see here with the Curatron 2000 XP.

You can learn more about this amazing technology at www.Curatron.com.

Usually these kind of probes contain a coil scattering the magnetic energy around because of the probe’s construction. The field is distributed mainly around the probe and just a very small amount of the generated energy is actually available at the tip of the probe while penetration into the body is neglectible, especially when the energy generated by the device is already very low from the beginning.

In order to be effective the pulsing magnetic field needs to be directed from the tip of the probe into the body, requiring concentration of the magnetic field towards the tip.

The Curatron probe has been designed for very local PEMF treatment and is in addition is very effective for acupuncture applications.

The flat surface at the end of the probe has a diameter of 0.7” (19 mm) and can be placed directly on the area to be treated with the high pulsing magnetic intensity of up to 10 milli Tesla (100 Gauss).

The Curatron probe has been designed with a unique 3 dimensional focused (3D) pulsing magnetic field, with the highest energy density concentrated immediately in front of the probe. The picture above shows the magnetic energy distribution where the strongest field is white/yellow decreasing towards blue further away from the probe.

This construction allows for very effective and deep penetration into the body. When used for acupuncture high energy transfer via acupuncture points makes application very effective. Application of the Curatron probe often makes use of needles superfluous, which is very advantageous when treating children and adults who dislike skin penetration by needles. No sterilization is required.

She wrote to us and said. “I wanted to let you know how much relief the mat has provided me regarding the osteonecrosis of my jaw. I no longer have pain and my mouth has healed. I know that the electromagnetic pulsing the mat provides has helped in this situation.

There are so many others who have been diagnosed with this horrific condition…….caused by the greedy drug companies releasing drugs that are unfit for human consumption……as well as the medical system that refuses to accept responsibility to look outside their paradigm and see that there are better ways for the body to heal than using drugs.

I am still looking for a way to remove the drugs from my bones to stop the necrosis process………but feel that as long as I have the mat, I will be fine!

Thank you so much………Your help has most likely saved my life.”

Beijing Congress Center

The 14th World Society of Pain Clinician’s Congress was held in Beijing recently and Dr. Ashfakh Ahmed* displayed the results of his study that was done between March of 2006 through March of 2010. 

His study objectives were:

• To prove that knee replacement surgery is not the only option but only the last option
• To discourage use of excessive pain killer medications to avoid long term complications  

Summary:

In India the vast majority of patients seek medical help at a very late stage, when major damage has been done and became irreversible. First patients consult their family physicians and are on painkillers for a long time. Even in these cases this 150 patients Curatron study shows that very good results are obtained.

Highlights:

• 150 Patients (56 male and 94 female) were treated for advanced osteoarthritis of the knee joints.
• The study was performed between March 2006 and March 2010, with success rates of up-to 95%.

Conclusions:

Patients with knee arthritis need not to lead a painful, restricted and compromised life. A safe, non-operative, affordable and very effective treatment is available, even in the presence of cardiac, renal or other systemic diseases.

My Curatron arrived TODAY! That is incredibly fast. Thank you so much; thanks so much to those people in Israel!!! I have had my first session. It definitely had an effect that was… not bad, probably good, but otherwise hard to describe! I felt relaxed and drowsy, sort of like having been hit by a train–if that could be good–like all my systems were kind of stunned, asking, so what was THAT ? I look forward to continuing.

Also–I want to tell you, as an aside, that I like its design: I like that its small, compact, I like the circle of green dots indicating it’s working, I like the fact that it ends a session with a simple click, and not a beep; I like that the controls are just four buttons. I hope that this gadget and I will be good friends.

Martha D  in California

Martha’s website and blog can be found at www.mdahlen.com and ocmd.livejournal.com

Martha ordered her system and we were out of stock here in Cincinnati (www.curatron.com) so we had to bring one  in directly from the factory in Israel. Martha ordered her system the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and she received it, the Monday following the holiday weekend. DHL provide outstanding international service and help us make our customer’s happy.

Martha’s reaction to her first treatment is not unusual. I like to call that initial feeling that one experiences as a from of Euphoria, it’s hard to explain but it does feel good. Not everyone has the same experience, sometimes it takes a week or more before one becomes aware of this new feeling following treatment but it can be quite addictive. Feeling good is a great thing.

If you have something nice to say to anyone, then say it!
