Client Testimonials
The following are some unsolicited comments from Curatron clients.
I would like you to know how thrilled I am with our Curatron. My family and I have been using it for about a year for a variety of things, including migraines, joint & muscle soreness and to accelerate healing. It is incredibly effective, especially in averting a migraine.
Vicki Clough - Michigan, USA
We really enjoy the Curatron. My wife’s back is significantly better. I have also seen improvement in my asthma. Since we are using the Curatron every day and even for travel, we have purchased another unit.
J. Parker, Texas, USA
I am 69 years old and have osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. I have used my Curatron every day for osteoporosis for 6 months. I was having continual pain in my neck and shoulders before I got the Curatron and lost 1 and a half inches in height in my upper spine and had developed a dowager’s hump over the last three years. After about 5 weeks of use, the pain in my upper neck is gone, my neck and shoulders are stronger and I have not had any further curvature of the upper back and neck due to osteoporosis since I began the use of the Curatron. I also use the Curatron for pain if I have an arthritis flare. I went nearly 5 months relatively pain-free which is unusual for me. Due to stress, I had an episode with my left hip this week but I have been able to continue going about my daily activities with muscle relaxants and mild pain medication. During the previous hip episode before I started using the Curatron, I was unable to walk for 4 or 5 days, even with the medication and required 6 weeks of physical therapy where I first had EMP therapy. From my personal experience, I would recommend the Curatron to anyone with pain from any type of arthritis.

It is amazing to see the results of your wonderful PEMF device. Patients are very happy with their recovery and the results are simply superb and most encouraging.
Dr. CP Prabhakaran, Chennai, India
I have used the Curatron for ten months now for hip pain associated with avascular necrosis. It is very effective and controls the pain to the extent that I have full range of motion and can walk normally with no pain. I am very glad I got it and recommend it highly.

Curatron therapy is an essential part modern management for osteoarthritis and I have treated many patients with full satisfaction.
Dr. Bijan Kaviani, Vancouver BC, Canada
We are successfully using Curatron PC units in our Pain Clinic for over 4 years. We found it to be especially good when treating persons with osteoarthritis and after 18 sessions 85% of our patients were remarkably improved. 70-100% of the patients are pain free and stay that way for close to a year after which they return for another series of treatments. After 3 sets of treatments they then only need to come in for the occasional session. We would highly recommend the use of PEMF therapy using the curatron PC unit for anyone suffering from osteoarthritis.
Sheila Hatfield, BC Canada
I have been using the Curatron 2000PC for some 19 months now and have now been able to reduce my medications.
I use the Curatron daily for various problems associated with my spinal cord injury and continue to find the results remarkable.
I have also treated the foot of a friend, which had become crippled from 30 year old fracture, after a horse stood on it. In just 3 months the foot is much straighter and the large bulge is much reduced leaving us all amazed. With much appreciation.
Susan Bennett-G, Australia
We loooove your system. I suffer from chronic upper back problems due to working all day reading and on the computer. I almost feel normal now! My mom suffers from pain in the wrists and the pain is now gone. Since we both use it we actually fight for it, this is why I want another one.
Gabriel Romanillos, Mexico
The Curatron machine is just wonderful and amazing. As a therapist who always tries new products on myself to ascertain how it works, before trying it on patients. The back problem I have had for 7 years has been cured with 5 daily sessions of using the machine. I have had on and off pain in my right sacro-iliac joint for seven years, which has been more or less constant in the past year and becomes worse with prolonged walking. I did every thing I know to do as a physiotherapist and do get pain relief, but not complete elimination of the pain. I used the Curatron every night before going to sleep for 5 days and the pain is completely gone! For the first time in about 2 years I was able to remain on my feet for 2 hours without needing to sit down in between and take a rest because of the pain in my back.
This is now my second week of being completely pain free and not needing to take any analgesic for pain and it is not in my head but it is real! It is wonderful. Thank you.

I have used and recommend the Curatron 2000XP to treat many conditions involving the musculo-skeletal system and many pain problems as well. I have found it to be a unique and helpful device for my patients.
Dr. Ronald L. Neurologist
I have found the Curatron PEMF therapy to be very useful for fatigue, fibromyalgia, painful conditions which do not show up on diagnostic imaging, asthma, headaches, insomnia, and lack of vitality to name some of the conditions I have treated with this technology. An almost universal theme is that people feel a feeling of wellness and calmness after the treatment with often extends beyond the treatment.
Dr. B. S.
I saw a patient with chronic fibromyalgia at the front desk after her second PEMF treatment with Curatron. I asked her how she felt. She said “WONDERFUL”. I asked her why she felt wonderful and she replied “Because I don’t feel any pain now!”
The patient continues to improve, she just had her third treatment.
Dr. Bob S.
I have used your Curatron clinical model for over a year now and the results for my patients has been nothing short of amazing. Patients with chronic pain from fibromyalgia, arthritis etc. have had tremendous reductions in pain with increase in their ROM. Also, fatigue from various chronic conditions have also responded with very satisfactory results. However, the most amazing results have been with osteoporotic patients. In most cases, bone mass significantly increased in 3-6 months. This being truly phenominal because treatments for osteoporosis usually takes in excess of 12 months to see any change in bone mass. I can say with confidence that the Curatron technology has helped my patients and I would highly recommend this to anyone who is suffering.
Dr. James C.
I have the system up and running. I am extremely happy with the results, and I do not think I will be disappointed in the future. As you know I have used the Magnetoron over 20 years. I was happy with the results with this device also, but the Curatron is superior in several ways. It is physically much easier to use than a barrel that came with the Magnetoton. Also, your power is higher, and I think that makes the system more effective.
Dr. Bill B.
I purchased a Curatronic mattress from you and began rebuilding the density of my bones successfully. Thank you very much. My life is far better then it was.
Vondell S.
After one week of analyzing your machine, I confirmed it. It’s the best of the three! I also own the QRS and MagnoPro. I started with the QRS about 2 years ago. Then purchased the MagnoPro and liked it much better. But none of those compares to your unit. It’s really that good. You can feel the warmth during the sessions. Sleep deeper. overall energy has increased. Thanks so much!!!!
Ernesto R.
I purchased the system for my mother. She had a myriad of spinal problems. She said that she continues to use it daily and truly believes she would have had to have surgery had it not been for finding the Curatron. She reports she’s able to do things that she couldn’t do before, as well as having more energy that lasts longer into the day. She’s a firm believer in the Curatron!

After many years of suffering from very painful knees, I finally decided to do something about it and purchased the Curatron system. At the start I did some experimenting and I have now settled for program 3. My pain level is definitely much less than it was a few months ago when I started on the Curatron. The only things I have changed in life are starting to use the Curatron and taking cod liver oil. I am convinced that the Curatron does the actual part of the pain reduction.
One more interesting observation: if I use the Curatron every day for 30 minutes my knees feel VERY good but when not using it for 3 days the pain gradually starts to return so I make sure I use the Curatron at least every other day.

My name is Deni Stewart and I have fibromyalgia. This syndrome, as FM has been labeled, has completely changed my life and definitely not for the better. The constant pain has been so much of a disabling factor that I can no longer function normally. One of the many facets of FM is something I commonly call “body hum”. If you are a fellow FM suffer you already understand what I mean. After three treatments this “body hum” has been totally eliminated. I am extremely grateful to Sheila and the PEMF treatments for enhancing the quality of my life. Now after several more treatments I have found that I sleep more deeply and I have seen moderate changes to my body’s overall stability. The effects of the changes resulting from PEMF treatments have been observed by several health care professionals but especially my chiropractor. He commented that I am now more capable of holding an adjustment. He also observed that I seem to be much happier in general. And this is the case…I have had a wonderful summer…one I don’t think I would have had without PEMF. Thank you!
Denis S, Canada
I was very surprised by my personal experience. I am a fervent sportsman and train daily but often suffer from painful ulceration on my feet, for which I use sometimes some ointment. After a long company holiday in January I returned to our freezing office and could not endure that my feet were numbed with the cold. At last I brought the Curatron into my office and put the pad under my feet and switched it on. For a while my feet were warmed and became comfortable. When I came home in the evening and took off my socks I was very surprised and could not believe it: my painful ulcerated athlete’s foot was healed up completely in only one day! Thank you Curatronic!
Zen S, Tokyo, Japan
We are having very good success with the equipment. Our success rate is between 87-90% and we see remarkable results in our patients. The equipment is easy to operate does not take up more space than a small computer desk. The clients find it quite comfortable and enjoy their quiet time while they are being treated. We only have one center right now but are in the middle of planning to set up a new second clinic in a more populated area with a couple of systems. Curatronic has been an absolute wonderful advisor while we got used to the equipment and the proper way of using the equipment with the different clients and their problems. They do not just sell you the equipment and leave you high and dry but they are very supportive and helpful. The equipment works extremely well with lower back pain, OA and sciatic problems. I highly recommend the Curatron, we would not consider opening up our other centers with any other equipment than Curatron.
Sheila H. R.N. Canada
We compared many different PEMF systems at our therapy center and the Curatron has opened up a new world for us. We have now in use 4 sets of clinical Curatron machines at our therapy center. Over the last 2 years we have treated thousands of patients and they have greatly benefited from the Curatron systems. With the help of the Curatron we witness the cure of inflammations, osteoarthritis, relief of rheumatic pains and pain in general and extremely fast fracture healing, better and in a much shorter time than with any other therapy device.
In addition we use the systems for migraine, neuralgia, fibromyalgia, tendinitis, trauma and wound healing. We highly recommend the use of the Curatron.

On my visit to New Delhi I met with your distributor for Curatron and found it an excellent masterpiece of Digital, Pulsating, Low frequency Electromagnetic field.
Dr. J. P. Karela, India
I have been using the Curatron XP for about three weeks now and I can report that a persistent pain I had been experiencing at areas along my spine has subsided to the point that I am only rarely aware of it.
T. E.
I have been intending to contact you with regard to the Curatron 2000 PC. I am very pleased with the results. I have received very positive feedback from the patients who were previously treated by the ELEC System.

I had to quit dancing because of a severe pain that had crept through my body. I was in severe pain in all parts of my body when we came across the Curatron line of products. After one month on the machine the symptoms were gone and I just continue to use the unit regularly. I have made it back now to dancing for which I am extremely thankful.
J.A , Canada
Due to arthritis and spurs, my neck was killing me. The muscles tightening were obviously constricting the blood flow to the head, besides, a bad knee too, kept me in check. Then I bought a Curatron home system. I used it alternately on different places of my body. I have had great results.
N.P., U.K.
Rheumatoid Arthritis in both my hands rendered me sleepless for years. Growing deposits on my fingers and pain equivalent to knitting needles poking through my hands had me wondering about a normal life. Then one day I was introduced to the Curatron machine. At night I would use the unit reducing the pain and swelling by 90% almost instantly. Subsequently my condition in the past two months has greatly improved. I’m able to move my fingers and see the knuckles on my hands because the swelling is gone. And I can work and sleep again. What a find.
B.S.
I am 73 and I was suffering with severe pain in my left elbow. It was so painful that it kept me awake at night. I used a Curatron unit and was able to sleep all night after just a few days. After several weeks my elbow was pain free.
S.D.A.
As a dentist suffering form a tennis elbow it became more and more problematic to treat my patients and to extract teeth, due to my seriously painful arm. After 6 weeks Curatron treatments the pain had completely gone and I was able to resume my work without further problems.

Neurosarcoidosis Cured?
Back in January, we sold s Curaton 2000HT to a woman with Neurosarcoiditis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. She had been diagnosed by her doctor in India. << Click Here to see the earlier article >>.
I had tried to call her a couple of times as she lives on the east coast and found that she was traveling.
On Thursday (Apr 16) I received the email below.
Dear Sir / Madam
This is just to introduce my self , I have recently launced BIOS 9000 Japanese Technology of Electric Field Therapy in India and whenever I have visitors from USA and wish to buy similar technology in US I suggest them your company, recently my relative”name withheld” living in Boston Mass. She bought one machine (Curatron 2000 HT) from you after testing this in India and was suffering from Sarcoidosis and now she is here again in India with a report of complete cure, I am just writing this to thank you for taking good care of her and continue promoting your name to the Indian Residents or any one living in US and wish to buy Electric Field Therapy equipment.

Static Magnetism vs Pulsed Electro Magnetic Therapy
Static Magnetism versus Pulsed Magnetic Therapy in Medical and Veterinary Use
Author: Dr. D.C. Laycock PhD, BEd(Hons) Member of the International Society for Bioelectromagnetism
This article is written to try to answer some of the questions posed about the efficacy and use of static magnets versus pulsed magnetic fields in both medical and veterinary use.
Magnetism is a product of moving charged particles. This can be within a conductor, such as a length of wire carrying an electric current, or found around certain types of materials where the crystal structure is such that a current is formed by electrons, sharing the orbits around the atoms making up the structure in an orderly direction. In a conducting wire a source of energy, i.e. a battery, is required to sustain the flow of electrons in order to overcome the natural resistance, whereas in a magnet, electrons freely orbit their atomic crystal structure, unaffected by any resistance. The flow of electrons in a magnet requires no external input of energy but the field produced is constant and as such has no dynamic component and is therefore not a source of energy in itself. When a constant flow of electrons through the wire is sustained, then the fields produced are identical in nature between the static magnet and the ‘induced’ field.
Pulsating magnetic fields differ in that they rise and fall around the conductors or coils as the current through them is varied. Static magnets are widely available for use in both the medical and veterinary fields with many claims made for their efficacy, but are such magnets of any real use? How do they work and where and when should they be applied?
From a purely physics point of view, any effect from magnetic interactions with soft tissue or bone requires a dynamic component. If a static magnet is brought into close proximity to a conductor, i.e. a piece of wire, then there is only an effect whilst the field or the wire are in motion relative to each other, i.e. an electric current is established during this dynamic period. Soft tissue is made up of billions of cells each of which is surrounded by a semi-permeable membrane. Through this membrane pass certain types of ions known as ‘cations’, which flow into the cells, and ‘anions’, which flow out. These different types of cations and anions provide the essential nutrients to sustain each cell to perform its designated function. These flows of ions constitute small electric currents in their own right, driven by a small charge that gives a similar effect to having a battery applied across the membrane. The flow of ions would produce a miniscule but virtually undetectable magnetic field. If cells are damaged by accident or disease then the ‘battery’ that drives the cell’s currents may be reduced in its ability to sustain the flow of ions and hence the cell either is reduced in its function, or dies. Magnetic fields applied to the area of injured cells need some dynamic interaction to have an effect on the anionic and cationic flows across their membranes. Since a magnetic field is a product of moving ions or electrons, then a dynamic field applied externally will have the effect of inducing movement of ions. The generation of electricity is based on this principle. If the generator is stationary and the armatures not in motion, then no electricity is produced. When the armature rotates, electricity will be produced.
Manufacturers that claim to have static magnets which can mimic the motion of pulsating magnetic fields are, therefore, making untrue statements since the magnetic fields, however shaped by positions of other static magnets, will never have a dynamic component. If they could achieve such dynamism from a static source then the world’s energy and pollution problems would be solved.
So are static magnets of any real use? Well perhaps the dynamic interactions may come from within the soft tissue itself. If a static field is applied to an area of injury then several possible factors may induce ionic movement.
These are:
Thermal agitation, - under normal conditions soft tissue is fluidic in nature and there may be some Brownian motion i.e. random vibrations of cells due to heat. These slightly moving cells may cut across the static field and as such aid some ionic movement through their membranes.
Pulsating vibrations, - from the heart as blood pulses through the tissue.
Muscle twitch - since muscles are never completely static, a magnet attached loosely to an affected area may interact this way. Normal muscular motion will also contribute to this effect.
Since the interactions are very small and in consistent, it follows that static magnets would need to be applied over a long term in order to achieve any benefit. This contrasts with pulsating fields that, by their very nature, interact as they rise and fall, cutting through the cells and aiding ionic flow. The frequencies at which the fields switch are also an important factor affecting different cells and conditions.
Other claims arise as to the question of the significance of magnetic polarity. Different effects from the north pole of a static magnet are claimed as opposed to the effects produced by the south pole. This has to be viewed with some skepticism, since a magnetic field is formed around the flow of ions or electrons causing it. This makes, in effect, a continuous field loop. The terms
If we apply the above logic to the case where a static field is applied to the skin surface, the field forms a continuous loop from which there is no net outflow. That entering the skin surface exactly equals that leaving it. If entering the skin, the field is taken as north on the outside, south on the inside, then as the field loops around and emerges from the skin, the north pole could now be said to be on the inside of the skin surface and the south on the outside. Since the net polarity effectively cancels out it is difficult to justify any claims for polarity.
Claims for the existence of monopole magnets and their increased efficacy are in the realms of ‘Pseudo Science’. A magnetic field is established around a flow of charged particles. The field orientation is as discussed above. The idea that somehow there could be only one polarity is a physical impossibility. The magnetic field emanating from the north pole of a magnet or coil is part of a continuous loop that cannot exist in an incomplete form. Such devices are a physical impossibility therefore the claims attributed to them are invalid.
Another claim made about static magnets is that of ‘magnetic energy’. This is given the terms positive and negative with the north-south orientation. North pole is said to have negative energy and the south pole to have positive. To understand what energy is we have to look at its definition. Energy simply means ‘the ability to do work’. How can this simple statement be applied to magnets? If energy is divided into its basic components it either exists as potential (stored) energy or as kinetic (dynamic) energy. Static magnets have neither potential nor kinetic, as explained previously. The only way any magnetic induction effect can be derived is by interacting with an external dynamic source of energy. Energy can therefore only be taken out of a system if it has been put there beforehand. Magnetism existing as negative or positive energy becomes meaningless in this context.
Pulsed magnetism requires that energy be put into the system to establish the magnetic field. When the source of energy is removed, the field collapses back into the wire. Used therapeutically, it is during the time that the field is being established or collapsed that energy is being used to drive cellular ionic flows. In other words, this is only during the dynamic periods. There is no concept of negative or positive energy that can be applied since the moving field causes ionic flow dependent upon the direction, angular interaction and electrostatic charges of the ions. The nature of cell membranes is such that they will generally only allow the cations to flow inwards and the anions outwards. The dynamic magnetic field has in effect a push-pull action on ionic flow, aiding both inward and outward movement of ions as it rises and collapses through the membranes.
In writing this short article I have not made reference to, or quoted, specific research. There are volumes available to those interested in a deeper study of therapeutic magnetism. But also, there are many reports of successful usage that are anecdotal rather than scientific in nature. I would suggest that these ‘successes’ are often the only ones reported but failures do not get a mention. In evaluating recovery, we should also not overlook the body’s own ability to help itself under certain conditions. Placebo effects are known to work in at least 25% of cases and as much as 50% are also possible. With animals, the placebo effects are generally missing. However a case was reported to me about racing greyhounds. These seemed to improve their performance over a period of a few weeks from the onset of treatment with pulsed magnetic therapy. It was later found that the magnetic field applicators were faulty and the device had never functioned correctly. The ‘improvement’ of the animals may have occurred because the trainers had expected them to and possibly treated them differently to normal.
Pulsed magnetic therapy used in the correct manner, where the correct frequency and pulse rate is selected, can be a useful aid to treatment of a variety of conditions. The use of static magnets is harder to justify scientifically, but may have some place, although limited, when applied over long periods of time.
north or south pole indicate which end the magnetic field appears to orientate itself. Since magnetic field poles either oppose or attract each other, depending upon their orientation, they tend to be given a perceived direction although no movement actually occurs. Where this direction of the field appears to emerge from the magnetic material then this is termed the north pole and where the field appears to re-enter the magnet this is the south pole. It follows therefore that at any position along the line of the field there is a north south orientation. Where it appears to come from is the north, where it flows to is the south’.
