Hey, good morning. Good morning, Dr. Riz.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
Good morning.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
You and I are doing interview of each other, which I think is such a novel idea. So, tell us a little bit about yourself.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
Well, we of course work together with Dr. Pawluk to promote PEMF therapy and educate people. But in addition to that, I have my own wellness center where we specialize in acupuncture as well as PEMF therapy. And so, you know, before ever learning about the PEMF world, I was, you know, running my clinic and trying to help people with all the different problems that they come in with. And so, you know, that was my starting point. And along that journey of being in healthcare and of helping people, I discovered this marvelous PEMF therapy. And ever since then, it’s been history, you know? I’ve been using it extensively and I’ve been teaching patients about it, using it with them. And it really has enabled me to do a lot more for people than I was able to do with acupuncture alone. So, you know, I think like Dr. Pawluk always says, you know, we’re problem solvers and we wanna do what we can to solve a problem. And that’s how I came into this PEMF world was that it’s one way to help with a lot of those problems.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
That is awesome. So how did you meet Dr Pawluk?
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
Well, that happened, you know, there was a sort of some interesting circumstances, a little bit of luck, you know? When I started researching the PEMF therapy, you know, I knew that I wanted to bring this into my clinic, but you know, it’s not easy to just do overnight. You have to make sure you have the right equipment. And so I did extensive research and Dr. Pawluk’s name came up time and time again. He’s the guy, he is the expert, he’s the global dude. Everybody that talks about PEMF uses his work, you know? And I just happened to find out that he is located in Maryland which is where you and I are also located. And a light bulb went off in my head. I said, I have to connect with this guy because, you know, he is, of course, hopefully he’s gonna be around for a very long time, but he’s not really at the beginning of his career. And so I saw this great opportunity to be mentored hopefully by somebody who’s an expert whose work I could take and carry on into the future. So I saw him out, I met with him several times and then we ultimately became close and I became a part of his team. And I’m also very curious about how you got to meet him.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Okay, so I knew nothing about PEMF. So my practice is chiropractic. I’ve been in practice almost 20 years now. And in addition to having my own practice, I also have two nonprofits that I founded. One is animal rescue and the other one is human services. So the human services one, we do a lot of work with homeless people, also disadvantaged children in disadvantaged community. But a mutual friend of mine said, she came in and she’s like, you know, she said, you are a gadget girl. So all the patients say I’m a gadget girl, because you know, I’m always researching and trying to find the next thing because nothing is a one size fits all, everybody’s different. And even in your practice, I’m sure that that one thing that would work for somebody with the same condition, all of a sudden don’t work for somebody else. So when Carol came in, she’s like you be a gadget girl and she goes, do you know anything about this PEMF? I’m like, no. And she’s like, you need to meet my friend.
And they’ve been friends for like 30-something years. And in fact, they’ve been friends since Dr. Pawluk was in his early years of acupuncture. And so she’s like, “My friend, Bill, you need to meet Bill.” So that was like fall of 2019. And right at that time I had started this program at University of Maryland school of pharmacy, a master’s degree program in science, research and therapeutics and medical cannabis. So now that’s a full-time thing, and then I met Dr. Pawluk and I’m like, man, had I known about this PEMF thing, I said, that is kind of like so interesting, I would’ve completely done that. So now I have these two things going at the same time and I met him and I was so intrigued, and he’s like so knowledgeable. And even my research online, everything was staring back to him. And I said, what an opportunity, just like you, to be able to be mentored by the best of the best. So that’s kind of how I met him. But I think you had said you had met him earlier, you met him like the year before I did, so.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
Yeah, yeah, because like, you know, I was introduced to PEMF therapy very randomly and so there was, I was at a health fair when I was approached by a nurse who was a salesperson for one of the PEMF manufacturers. And I always listen to nurses and so, you know, I said, she offered if I’d like to try out a sample treatment. And I said, “Sure, you come to my clinic,” and she did. And nothing really happened in that first treatment there but I was given some literature and the keyword that stood out to me was circulation because in the world of acupuncture, you know, we often talk about energy and chi and some of these things that are mysterious and mystical. And, you know, sometimes people even kind of wonder, does this stuff really work because of that?
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Right.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
But it’s actually all about circulation. And it’s all about the flow of gases in the body, like nitric oxide and oxygen. So I saw that word circulation, I said, oh, if there’s something that can support that I wanna know about it. And so then this was like that 2017, 2018 period. And so when I learned that Dr. Pawluk was not too far away over, you know, down the road, I made it a point to go stop by over there, so that was about 2018. And we kind of had like a, you know, more of a informal relationship at that time. So yeah, now it’s, you know, going back four years and I think, you know, we’re both so fortunate to have his guidance. And also one of the other things about this PEMF stuff is that there’s, you know, much more growing interest but there’s not enough people doing it, not enough people using it. Not because it’s not effective but because they just don’t know about it, you know? They’re learning about it online or after they’ve tried all these other things, and the lovely thing is when they get around to doing the PEMF therapy, if it’s done right with the right device, with the right treatment plan, it makes a huge difference for them.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Absolutely.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
But there’s just not enough folks doing it. So it’s a big role for us as people that educate and share to really spread this message to the world because we’ve seen firsthand how much this can do for people and in your case, in animals as well.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Right, right. And the stuff that people learn online, even the articles that they’re reading, it’s not the same thing as on drpawluk.com. His is like such deep research that goes into it. And when we do the consults, we’re seeing doctors that are actually doing the consults because, you know, we don’t have a device that is a one size fits all. It really is conditional and is based on the person. So these calls are so important. And even just talking to the people at Dr. Pawluk’s office is absolutely important because like you said, if they use, if they don’t use this properly then they don’t get the results. And then they’re like, this thing doesn’t work. So it’s great that you and I are so fortunate to be able to be trained and to really know this stuff inside out and even with the years that we’ve been training with Dr. Pawluk, there’s so much more that we don’t know. So it’s really important that people come to his website and actually have the consults.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
Yeah, the information there is the unbiased information, you know, it’s delves into the science. It leverages all the studies that have been done. I mean, but Dr. Pawluk amazes me with his ability to review the research and stay current with it. And just the volume that comes through, but he finds a way to read it all.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
It’s tough what he does because when I was doing my master’s degree, a part of it, we had to do extensive research. So we actually had to write a research paper. So we had to go and find the information on PopMed and all these different sites and cite it properly. And they showed us how to find good information versus the biased ones and to kind of wean all of this stuff out. And he is incredible the way he can go and decipher from all of these articles and come up with the ones that is completely legit, and to put them all together into the format that he does. Half the times I said, you know what, like some of the semesters I had, I would just send him a screenshot and say, you know what, I completely hate you because somewhere in the universe you have kind of this osmosis and all of a sudden I am stuck having to do this kind of research. So I know how difficult it must be, and then to still be the educator. So in addition to being the person who writes these great articles, he’s also the educator because all of the people, when I was in my training with him and sitting on the calls, there were people from all over the world that would call with such complex cases. And I would just sit there, just be dumbfounded. And the way that he was able to just kind of break each piece down and take this whole case history, you and I do it in our practice but when you are on a phone call and you have like a half an hour to kind of come up with with the whole, the primary diagnosis, the whole triage, and then to say, okay, this device is what you need. And I was there like researching after the fact writing stuff down and then researching to try to figure out how he even came up with this. And after a while it became so simple, PEMF, that’s it. That’s the key. PEMF is what you need, it has multifaceted. I mean, you do have the contraindications but it always comes back to that and to circulation and inflammation.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
Yeah, yeah. And, you know, it’s not just this whole, you know, expertise and knowing about all this stuff, he really has the heart there that he just wants to help people and that’s what kind of, I think, draws everybody in. And, you know, we just happen to know about this wonderful tool that can do so much for people, you know, it’s super exciting, but it’s all heart centered, you know? It’s coming from a place where we just wanna make the world a better place.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Yeah.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
And what a great role model. So, yeah, so, you know, I mean, we have things to help circulation, reducing inflammation, even helping your bones to be functioning better and stronger than they could be otherwise. So I’m curious about, you know, like in your clinic, what are some of the devices that you like to use, or like, what do you lean on most for people when they come in with different challenges?
Marlene Mahipat, DC
So, I have a full body system in my office, and I also have a full body system at the house. And I bundle it in with the chiropractic because sometimes I feel that a person is so inflamed and they’re so guarded that there is no way that they would relax enough for me to even do any alignment. So in addition to electric stem and dry needling and fraction and heat and ice, I mean, there’s all this stuff and still, I have come over the years realized that that still is not enough. There are people that come now and I know, you know, what? Why don’t we just skip the heat and why don’t we skip the ice and why don’t we skip this? Just put them on for 15 minutes on this PEMF device. And their body is just, it’s loose enough that I’m able to do what I want to do. I have people who come in and they’ve had surgeries on their back, so now I’m limited in what I can do because now you can’t do an alignment if these people has got like a rod in the back or all these bones are fused. So generally those people, all I have the access to what I do is dry needling, but now I’m able to do PEMF.
And really with just the PEMF alone, I have seen huge, huge, huge difference. And I wasn’t able to do a lot for a person’s knee. Sometimes they have shoulder problems, I wasn’t really able to do a lot. I was able to do the dry needling and probably some ice and the heat, but now I put ’em on for half an hour with an applicator on their shoulder or underneath, so these extremities. Now I have a lot of people who just come in and they’re like, I heard you have this machine that zaps you and, you know, it does this and does that. So I have now people sending their friends and I have a huge population that I have, or actually, you know, retired people, senior citizens. And they just, the one who sought chiropractic, they have already decided that they’re sorting holistic health. So when they come in, it’s easier now for me to talk to them because their mind is already open that they want something that is not just conventional, traditional medicine. They want, they look, they’re sorting for something different. So in the practice, it’s been a great integration. What about your situation?
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
Yeah, same here. So, you know, you bring up the needling and that’s as an acupuncturist, that’s like the main thing that you do is needles.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Right.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
And dry needling is like a technique of acupuncture but more specific for trigger muscles and trigger points.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Yeah.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
And so we do that too and definitely it’s helpful in many cases, but it’s, you know, it’s sort of a different application, right?
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Yeah.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
A needle is gonna be very specific and go to a precise place and, you know, do a very particular action in a muscle or close to a nerve. But when you bring in the PEMF therapy, now you’ve broadened the entire area that you can work on. You’re supporting all the tissues. And I often I tell patients, you know, that everybody comes in looking for acupuncture because that’s what is in the name of our clinic and that’s what people know about. But they always, almost entirely on the first visit, they’ll be educated about PEMF or they’ll learn about it because it’s wrong of me to not tell them about it.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Right.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
Because what happens is when we’re doing the acupuncture, you’re working in a certain context, you are attempting to remove energetic blockages or create some harmony or smoothness in the way things flow in the acupuncture channels.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Right.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
But we are not just acupuncture channels, you know, we are all these different tissues and we’re made up of all these different structures that work together. And all of those tissues are made up of cells and the PEMF therapy was working at that cellular level. So I often tell people, I said, you know, if we’re just kind of sticking with the acupuncture, we’re working on one level, but it’s more superficial. You know, we are working on sort of that energetic blockages or in the case of dry needling, we’re doing muscular trigger points. Powerful stuff but it’s not working at that cellular level and you still need a needle. And not everybody loves that. And, you know, I mean, some people do, some people actually, they ask for it, they say, “Hey, I like when you do that needle there.” But it’s not the majority of folks. And, you know, it is a little more elegant to be able to have something that’s working deeper in the body without having to poke and prod. And, you know, this is coming from the acupuncturist who uses needles all day long.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Right.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
But increasingly I’m not needing to use it as much because we’re able to, you know, enhance the treatment by bringing in that cellular aspect. So it’s very exciting, you know, and there’s not a ton of acupuncturists doing this right now. So it’s a way to offer more than other practitioners. And, you know, we don’t exactly bundle it in the way that you do. What we do is the first two times that somebody does the PEMF therapy, we don’t charge for it because we want them to experience, we want them to see what it’s like, feel what it’s like, give them time to read up on it. And then after those two visits, if they wanna continue with the PEMF therapy along with the acupuncture, then we have a small fee that we charge for that. So it makes it accessible but it gives people the choice of do they wanna do one, do they wanna do both? With the opportunity to try the PEMF at no risk. And a lot of people will continue working with it because they understand that it’s doing that deeper, broader work and it’s more than just stimulating the acupuncture system.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Right.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
And especially in today’s world with, you know, the pandemic and the fear and the stress, there’s physiological effects to that. And, you know, I can use a needle to shift the nervous system but I can use the PEMF therapy to literally shake off the stress from the cells and get somebody really nice and relaxed. And we see it happen all the time.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Right, right. And then even the low level PEMF, if you turn the device down really low, it stimulates all of the acupuncture points.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
Right.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
So then people feel like they have this really amazing acupuncture treatment but it’s actually doing more than just stimulating the meridians. They’re actually now getting all of this cells getting excited and ATP production, and then people just feel absolutely incredible.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
Yeah.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
And in the animal world, so through my animal rescue, I have dogs and cats at the house. And occasionally when we do a rescue we, like last year around this time, I had this kitten that somebody actually brought in, in a paper towel. We had so much snow, I think we had like two feet of snow, and this guy said that he was putting out his trash and he was hearing this thing. And he looked, and he saw this kitten and the umbilical cord was still attached so it had to be probably two or three days old. And brought this to my office in this paper towel. And this thing was barely alive. And most people would tell you that a kitten with an umbilical cord and you don’t have an incubator and you don’t have all this stuff, that the chances of survival is really slim to none. And I said, okay, there’s this cat, this cat’s not gonna die on my watch. And I took this cat home, got the formula, I was feeding the cat with the syringe. I had a flex pulse but the flex pulse in the box where I was keeping the cat in, there was several times that this cat really literally stopped breathing. So I know pet CPR, so I did pet CPR, but I have a high intensity full body system at the house. And I would take this cat and I would just get on this system and just put this cat underneath the pad with me on my stomach and just put it on, put it on. I said, you know what, I said, I know the benefits of PEMF. I know what it does, and I said, you know what? Let’s try this. Well, the cat survived and I actually wrote, I documented daily on the differences with this cat. This cat climbed out of the box by three weeks. It wasn’t, the eyes weren’t even open yet. This cat climbed out of the box. This cat was walking like in more advance, was using the litter box, more advanced than other kittens. And I’ve done animal rescue and I’ve bottle fed other kittens, not one that was this really critical. The cat is a year old now, the cat is huge in terms of growth because I think the PEMF stimulated the growth hormones.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
Right, yeah.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
And the cat is so brave. The cat, in fact, the cat’s name is Molly, Molly, the dog. So we go and visit the cat pretty often. This cat would take socks out of a laundry hamper. This cat would eat an entire sub sandwich but refuse to eat his cat food. The cat is a riot and they would throw stuff at a cat, like a dog, and the cat runs and brings the stuff back. So, in the animal world, it’s safe, it’s safe. I have two dogs at the house and when I do my treatment, they come in and they sit right next to where I’m getting the treatment so they end up getting their treatment. And when I do dry needling on my dog when her hip is really bad, well, now I actually just come and I just take the applicator and I put it, you know, at first the jolt because it almost feels like static shock on .
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
Yeah, yeah.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
They get used to it, so even for animals, this is safe, this is safe.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
Yeah, you know, so I don’t have a ton of experience with that but I have a handful of cases where people have come in, you know, we used to have an animal acupuncturist at our clinic. But in Maryland, you have to have a special certification to do that. So I don’t have that but we used to have somebody in the clinic that did, and she would see animals regularly for acupuncture. But after she retired, you know, once in a while, I’d get calls from people with pets and, you know, “Hey, I used to come there, can you help?” And so I’ve had, you know, a handful of situations where I told them, listen, I can’t do acupuncture but I’ve got PEMF equipment and we know it’s safe. You can bring your animal in and we can do treatments on them and see. So in one case, it was actually a sad story where there was dog that was at the end of his life, you know, he was in the final stages. But he was able to benefit from a few PEMF treatments that helped him relax and regain a little bit of function towards the end.
There’s other instances where I, you know, there was a very old dog that was limping badly and we did some treatment on the hip and lower back, and he was walking better by the end of that session, you know? So there’s, and I also actually have heard from a lot of patients who, you know, they’ve experienced PEMF therapy with us and of course we tell them, you don’t have to just be limited to coming here. You can get your own system and you should, you know? But you have to learn about it of course. And once they do, oftentimes people will get it and they’ve come back and told me that, you know, every time I get on it, my pet is there with me and it wants to just come right on the pad, doesn’t wanna leave. So anecdotally, I’ve heard a lot of interesting stories. And we know from Dr. Pawluk’s research that not only does the PEMFs benefit humans and animals but also plants. This is a huge thing for people to know because if they have a home system, which again, they should, it’s something everybody should have, they just don’t know it, but even their pet is gonna be able to get use out of it not just their family members. So it just brings tremendous value, you know? You have something there that can help every member of the family including the animals. We can’t say that for medications or for many other treatments.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Right, absolutely, absolutely. Even in my office, my back treatment room, I have plants in there and people come in and they’re like, this plant has vined all the way through two treatment rooms. And I tell ’em the same thing. I say, it’s the PEMF. I said, so you need to get one. I said, even if you don’t get it for yourself, get it for your plants, jokingly of course, but everybody does need to have one. It’s nice to go to the acupuncturist or the chiropractor’s office and to try it three times a week. But that doesn’t give you the value, that doesn’t do what your body needs. It needs it every day. We have oxidation of cells happening every day, every hour, every minute, every second. So to be able to kind of overcome that to get these cells to be viable again, you really need to be doing this treatment twice a day. I do half an hour in the morning, half an hour in the evening and I just, my friend Debbie, decided that we should sign up for this bootcamp at this gym, this six weeks challenge. Well, my body is really challenging. So now I’m actually doing full body treatment half an hour in the morning, but an hour in the evening because I have more inflammation going on. So this has helped me to be able to tell the patients that those days when you actually feel that you are actually having a more difficult time, you know, now the weather has gotten better, a lot better, and people are gardening. And I’m like, the days that you’re gonna be out there gardening, just increase your time, increase the time. It’s not gonna hurt you. Increase the time because you have more inflammation. So now your body actually needs it to be able to do the recovery, so…
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
Right, right. And you know, it’s safe. Like we know that it’s very hard to do too much PEMF therapy.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Right.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
Because it doesn’t stay in your body, it goes right through you. A needle is going into your body. A medication is going into your body and it remains there for a period of time, but a magnetic field, a low frequency, high intensity or low intensity magnetic field will just travel right through the body like it’s not even there. But this is what kind of makes it so cool is that we’re working at that invisible level where, you know, you can see an acupuncture needle going into a point, you can see the spine and the adjustments that you can do to it, but the cells are invisible, so…
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Right, right.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
That is working on those quantum energy fields.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Right, right, absolutely. It goes in and like you said, you know, the way I kind of think about it, I think about it like, I think you’re probably too young, Pac-Man, you know, how the Pac-Man-
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
I remember Pac-Man, yeah.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Would just go in and just eat up stuff. So the PEMF is going in and it’s finding all of these cells that are damaged and it’s like touching it and just giving it some energy and making it whole again. So in my head when I’m doing my treatment, I’m like, okay, well, we did abs today so I am sure that there’s all this inflammation, the muscle itself needs some healing. And I’m thinking this PEMF is going in there and it’s gonna target that area. And that is true because one day my hip was just so bad, my hip just felt so inflamed. And I was doing this full body treatment all day long for two years. But that one day, guess what? Same, same intensity. That’s the area. All of a sudden that area is the only thing that was hurting. That’s the only thing I just kind of felt like all of this intensity, all of the PEMF current is going right there to that one spot on that right hip, because that’s where the most inflammation was. It needed it.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
So I’ve had something along those lines happen. This was in the beginning when I was using the full body PEMF. I usually would not feel any sensation in the lower part of my body. Everything was kind of like from the waist up, that’s what I got used to. And then after doing this for several months, I started to feel some sensation in my thigh. And it stood out to me because this had never happened before, so I’m wondering, I’m like, why all of a sudden am I feeling it there? And then it happened a few more times in the coming days and I realized exactly what was happening. I keep something in my right pocket, pretty much all day, and a lot of people do, which is my cell phone. And we know that that thing is not helping our body when it’s close to our body. Women that keep their cell phones in their bra have a higher incidence of breast cancer. And similarly, you know, putting this phone on my thigh is not helping my leg. Well, just that exact spot where the phone sits would start to light up and it would feel a little ripply. And so it was very interesting. And when I realized what was happening, I was like, oh, this is just going to that inflammation that’s in my leg from just having the phone next to it all the time, all day. So you’re right, it hones in on those problem areas that we don’t even think about or know about.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
And interesting you talk about cell phone. So I had a patient who started working from home but was doing just a lot of phone calls. And the person would come in and their left occiput was always out, that left side. And this was a pattern that was not there. This is somebody I’ve been seeing for years. I’m like, what is different? This person was using the cell phone on the left side like this. So I said, when you use your cell phone, I said, so are you always putting it like this? No, because I’m thinking, okay, maybe it has something to do with the neck. It wasn’t that they were just holding it there and the phone would get hot and so it’s pulling the occiput put out. So I started to use PEMF. I said, my alignment is not gonna hold. I said, you have all this inflammation that’s built up in there from this cell phone use and the radiation from the cell phone. I said, you need PEMF. So that person comes in and they know that immediately they have to do PEMF treatment first, before. And I was seeing them three times a week for two weeks before, not holding the alignment. Now I’m seeing them once a month, once a month holding the alignment. But if the cell phone use is excessive, they call me and they say, you know what? I need to come in and I need to do a treatment. And I say, you know, no, you need to get your own system. You need to get your own system at your house. I said, do a GoFundMe, go do a GoFundMe, I said, and get this and just get one for your house.

Yeah, I’ve had patients who have done that and, you know, after they’ve been able to benefit from it. You know, I think in closing, one of the interesting things that stands out to me as you spoke that it just reminded me that one of the things that’s so great about this is it’s not just working on the problems that we want to focus it on, but it’s actually creating a better internal terrain. You know, it’s making a better internal environment in the body so that everything can flourish. You know, so I’ve had many times where, for instance, I’m trying to help somebody with a hip problem or a lower back problem and just because of where we do the PEMF therapy, they start to urinate less at night. And, you know, they’re not waking up as much because the areas that are responsible for that are in proximity to the hip and the lower back and other things just get better. And that’s just one small example. The entire terrain of the body will benefit from this kind of stimulation. So then it sets the stage for healing and for other things to improve, you know? A lot of times we’re just sort of targeting and focused on certain areas. So that’s really what attracts me towards using this is I know that I’m actually just about always doing more for the patient than what they came in for.

It’s about cellular health. It’s about keeping the cells young and keeping the cells healthy. So I tell the patients, I say, we have found the fountain of youth. I said, we have found it because if you go in and you can fix a cell that is damaged and you keep it fresh and young and vibrant, it makes sense. And even for myself, so I used the loop over my head for 12 minutes and of course it, so I noticed that my neck, I used to have that, I don’t know what chicken neck or whatever they called it, but my neck has, that skin is different. I look at pictures from two years ago and to now, and I’m 55 years old and this looks better than it did when I was 53, when I was 52 and I would attribute this to PEMF. So women love it because I think this is the fountain of youth.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
Yeah, totally makes sense. That’s what it did, that’s what we would expect.
Marlene Mahipat, DC
Yes. So thank you so much, thank you so much, Dr. Riz, this was amazing. Perfect, perfect. So we will chat later and it was so great to have this.
Riz Lakhani, L. Ac., M. Ac
