Welcome back, everybody, to the Bioenergetics Summit. I’m your host, Dr. Greg Eckel. Our topic today is shaking the ashes off the embers to create deep healing with PEMFs, and our speaker is Dr. William Pawluk, MD, MSC. He’s a holistic doctor near Baltimore, Maryland. His previous academic positions at Johns Hopkins and university of Maryland. He’s considered the foremost authority on the use of Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields Therapy in North America. He’s interested in new solution to stubborn, chronic, and frustrating health problems. He wants to try to resolve the cause of the problem and not simply put a bandaid on it. Most conventional treatments for pain rely on numbing and dumbing that simply make the perception of pain better, but don’t heal the cause. On the Dr. Oz Show, they both agreed that pain management should be focused on healing the cause. After 25 years of seeing the risks and side effects of traditional health solutions and approaches, and after studying various healing approaches, he discovered that PEMFs provide the most benefit, allowed safe non-toxic, self-directed, self-controlled, and at home pain management. Dr. Pawluk, welcome aboard.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
Thank you, Greg. Thank you very much for having me on your program, and I look forward to our spending time together again.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
I love it. I always love talking with you about PEMFs and all of the knowledge and wisdom that you impart and share. I wanna start out with this whole concept of what are the “Ashes of the Embers” please?
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
All right in acupuncture? Well, let’s stick about ashes. So, you have a fire going in your fireplace, right? And you have the embers in the fireplace and the embers are red hot, but on surrounding the ember is the ash. So, it didn’t get there right away. The wood burned, it burned and burned, and then the ashes fell off, or the ashes became the part of the wood that was already burned off. And inside the ashes, basically, is the ember, and what you do is you, basically, shake the ember, and it shakes off the ashes that exposes the actual ember itself. That’s where the fire is, right? The ashes don’t do a whole lot. They just cover the ember, and in a sense, they can keep the Ember from getting hotter, as hot as it could be.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
So now, how does this relate to PEMF?
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
So, PEMFs are basically the acupuncture system. In the acupuncture system, you have the acupuncture meridians themselves, and then those meridians are active, but the meridians can accumulate static ashes, let’s say. So, the meridian is the ember, and then you accumulate ashes. So, what happens is that if you’re doing bioenergetic testing on an acupuncture system using electro acupuncture according voll, right? Which you’re measuring the different ting points of the hands, and other points in the hands, and other points in the body, and they tell you how much energy that system can take or give. So, what happens then is that are putting energy into the system.
The body then shows you where it’s hot and where it’s cold. In an EAV test, the results typically are shown as red, green, or yellow. So, red means overact. Too much heat, if you will. In that point. So, when you’re putting energy in, you get feedback, and the feedback you get is red, and then, or the feedback is gonna be yellow, which is underperforming or green, which is what you want. So, ideally then you want to have that a balance in the system. And again, in a sense, ideally, you want to have all those readings be green. Now, when you have a lot of red in the system, and we can show the slide now so we can share the screen. So, I’ll share my screen.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Yeah. Please do.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
So, these are EAV results before and after PEMF. So, we did two sets of tests. So, you do the basic panel of the far left. You’ll see a lot of red and their greens and a little bit of yellow, but a lot of red. In that person’s body, they had a lot of, let’s say inflammation, a lot of over action of the acupuncture points. When you see that much in an EAV, you can either conclude it. The whole system is really hot, or you can conclude that the embers are being covered, right, by ash, and they’re hotter than they would be because of the ash, the general ash in the system. So, what happens is then you do the magnetic field therapy. So, the second picture from the left shows you what happens when you do the magnetic field therapy. So, you doing whole body magnetic field therapy. You are projecting against the body, electrical stimulation, and that electrical stimulation basically, is activating acupuncture points and meridians, but when you have a lot of static in those acupuncture points and meridians, that’s the ashes.
So in other words, all those reds that we’re seeing in that far left is not real, it’s static, it’s ashes. It’s covering what’s really happening. It’s making the system hotter than it really should be, and when you expose the embers, then you’re basically revealing the true embers themselves, and what’s really hot. So, it’s not just the heat of the ashes, now, the heat of the embers themselves. So, then in that second bar graph, if you will, now, you can see the number of reds has dropped dramatic. So, now we’re down to about eight bars of red. Whereas in the previous one, we had the vast majority were red. So, if you’re an acupuncturist, you can be doing pulses. You can be doing assessments and you can think, that there’s more problems going on on this body than you could imagine. And where do I start to do treatment? But when you do a magnetic field therapy, basically you’re clearing that system. You’re clearing the ashes off the embers and you’re revealing the true embers.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Love it. That’s awesome. And I think that the picture is like a thousand words. So, what exactly is happening? What is happening in there for the PEMFs? So, let’s talk about Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency. What is it? And then maybe how is it different from EMFs? Because a lot of people have concerns around electromagnetic frequency for good reason, and then what is that mechanism of action that you think is working in there?
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
Well, we do talk about EMFs as being pulse electromagnetic fields or electromagnetic fields, many people do refer to it as frequencies, but it’s actually fields, and electromagnetic fields have two components. We call amplitude, or intensity, and frequency. And in all my research in 30 years of working with magnetic field therapy, what I realized that the most important feature of magnetic field therapy is the intensity, not less so the frequency. So, EMFs, the ones that we are the most concerned about, are broadcast into the environment. They have towers, microwave tower, but you also have radio towers, and you have television towers, and you have radar antennas in our neighborhoods, et cetera. When you have the radar on your weather forecasting. They’re showing you the radar, just scanning through the whole area. Well, that radar is being broadcast into the environment. It’s going out into the environment, and essentially, it goes out forever, essentially to infinity. It drops off dramatically over distance, but basically it goes to infinity. So, that’s a broadcast magnetic field and that’s what we call open loop.
So, because it goes to infinity, it’s gonna hit anything that’s in the area, the broadcast area, and anything standing in the way is going to get it, and we rely on that with television and radio. We want that because we want the transmission going to our radio or our television, so we can show the signals. Now, that’s designed for that purpose, its designed for communication, entertainment, whatever. It’s not designed for therapy, and unfortunately, because it’s going out at the environment, it can get absorbed. So, what happens then is that EMFs can be absorbed by the body, and when they are absorbed by the body they cause heating, heating can then cause breakdown of DNA, the break down a protein, breakdown of gene, and that’s why EMFs can be a problem. And especially a problem for people who are already hyper, excitable, in terms of their cells, and tissues, and the amount of inflammation in their bodies.
So, that can aggravate that, make that even worse, same principle as a microwave oven. So, in a microwave oven, you have microwaves which are absorbed by the tissue, or absorbed by whatever’s in the oven, and then the oven basically heats. So, we do that on purpose with microwave ovens. We don’t wanna do that in our environments. We wanna do it in a control fashion in a microwave oven. So, that’s EMFs. We wanna use them in appropriate ways. We don’t wanna be bombarded by it and have exposure to it in uncontrollable ways, ways that we can’t personally control. The way you control it is you stay as far away as you can from a microwave antenna, or a radio antenna, or a radar antenna. And we can’t always do that either, as well as we would like to, depending on our level of sensitivity. So, PEMFs are very, very, very different. A PEMF is generated by current flowing through a wire. So, you have a machine that takes current from the wall, puts it through its filtering processes, and changes the signal into a specific signal. And in that case, we could talk about seven Hertz, or 10 Hertz, or 15 Hertz. So, that’s the frequency element of it. Or we could say, okay, fine. What’s more important is the intensity. I want a strong pulse. So, a way of thinking about it is I could tap on my desk, and I can go. I dunno if you could hear that? Tapping.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Yeah, yeah, we can.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
All right. So, that’s low intensity and it’s relatively fast, but now I’m gonna increase the intensity.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Okay.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
Maintain the same repetitive rate, but I’m now increasing the intensity. So, in a wire then you control the current flowing through the wire. Let’s say my thumb is the direction of the current. It’s the wire. And the current is flowing in the direction of my thumb. Now what happens is when you have a current flowing through a wire, automatically through a principle of physics, that we don’t control, it’s physics, current flowing through a wire, produces a magnetic field perpendicular to the flow of the current, and that’s called the right hand rule. So, my thumb is the current and my fingers are the magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the flow of the current. They’re wrap, basically, three dimensionally around that current flow. It’s a three dimensional field.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Sure.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
So it’s a controlled field. It’s not broadcasting the environment, right? It’s closed loop. The other one is open loop. This one is a closed loop. And what happens is as the current pulses through here at the rate or the frequency that the currents pulsing or the pulse rate, the magnetic field is going like this, it’s going back and forth, but it’s always closes down on itself. So, it goes out, and closes back, goes out, and closes back, goes out, closes back. So, it isn’t broadcast in the environment, and the only person basically getting exposed essentially, is the person that’s using the coil, using the magnetic field. Now, if you happen to be standing next to a person that’s getting a magnetic field, some of that field is gonna go into your body as well. But there’s a principle of physics as well called, one of the medical applications of that is called the Inverse Square Law, which means the magnetic field drops off very rapidly, as you move away from the source. That same principle applies to heat, and sound, and light, and cold, and so on, any radiation.
So, we use it in medicine, that inverse square law, we actually use that in medicine to calculate the radiation dose, where we’re try to do radiation to kill a tumor. So, we use the inverse square law. We say, okay, how far do we have to go into the body? How much energy are we gonna have to deliver? And then we do that calculation of the amount of energy we’re going to need to start with in order to produce the energy that we want at the target. Well, magnetic field therapy basically operates under very similar principle, and because the magnetic field drops off very rapidly, then you have to calculate the magnetic field that you need to do to deliver the body, to do the actions that we want to deliver into the body. So, that’s the difference between EMFs and PMFs. So, PMFs are incredibly safe, incredibly safe.
And how can I say that? Well, I’m sure most people have heard about MRI, and most people can tolerate MRI, where they can’t tolerate MRI is if you have metal in your body, because the MRI heats the metal, it causes heating around the metal. And as a result because of absorption, it causes heating and that can burn the tissues. So, beyond MRI, and then now we have devices that are used for treatment resistant depressions that are very high intensity that are aimed into the brain, and they’re strong enough that what you do is you put the coil up near what we call the motor cortex, which is like right about here and you stimulate the hands part, so that’s got a representation of the whole body. So, you stimulate that part of the cortex that would control the hand, ’cause it goes the opposite direction. Crank up the intensity right at that spot until I get a movement of my finger. So, the magnetic field is now strong enough to cause current in the brain that then causes an activation of the muscle, and as a result, what happens then is that again, that system is now FDA approved for treatment resistant depression and it’s very, very safe, extraordinarily safe. So, most PMFs that we’re using are completely safe compared to EMF.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Yeah, I know that is a big concern for a lot of our listeners and viewers. So, the therapeutic benefit of the PEMF, so the Pulsed Electro, is it the Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field in use in the therapeutic? Is it because it is so guided and so used so localized, not broadcast out to environment with a specific use and intention. For instance, you know, speak into the use of PEMF as almost an acupuncture therapy or activating the meridians, et cetera. So, how do those work there?
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
Electrical and magnetic work together? That’s why we call electromagnetic. That’s the second force of the universe, electromagnetic. Light is electromagnetic. Sound essentially, is in its own way, electromagnetic. It’s waves and it’s pressured. So, magnetic feels basically as they move into the body, that magnetic field is interacting with the electrical parts of the body, and those electrical parts are not just the nerves, but the body is essentially a battery. We’re a battery inside its skin, and even the skin itself is its own little tiny battery. So, even that is a battery. So, everything in the body is all based on ions, and ions are based on charge, and all the molecules in the body are either neutral, or negative, or positive, in charge. So, one of the principles of magnetic fields is that as a magnetic field passes by charge molecules or charges that they interact and the magnetic field then activates those charges and creates more current. It creates more charge and it’s that creation of charge, which does mostly healing work in the body. So, the body basically ignores magnetic fields that it doesn’t need.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Got it.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
When you have illness, when you have disease, when you have imbalances in the body, then basically what you have then is the charge is being taken up by the body, used by the body, re-kickstart. So, for example, one of the FDA approved machines for PMFs, is for healing fractures that won’t heal. So, after six months if fracture hasn’t healed it’s called a non-union, and mag magnetic therapy has been approved by the FDA to heal fractures most commonly in the hand, or the hands, or in the arm, or in the legs. So, magnetic field therapy then is now used to re-kickstart healing that’s stalled. So, now all of a sudden you produce more energy into the tissues, into the body, and the healing wakes up, and after six months to a year, basically, the body heals that fracture that was stalled.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Got it.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
So as far as acupuncture is concerned, go back to the point that you’re asking at the very beginning, acupuncture has been discovered to be an electrical system. We call it “Chi”. Back then when they discovered the acupuncture system, they didn’t know that it was electrical, right? They said it’s energy. So, they call it Chi. It may have other components to it, but basically it’s electrical charges. So, we now know that the whole acupuncture system is a DC current system. It’s like a battery running current through a wire, not from AC, not from the power generator, it’s a DC battery, and that’s a very low intensity system that’s all linked together, all linked together. And so when you put a magnetic field past that wire, through that wire, through that system, you’re causing more current to be produced, and where that system is stuck, then all of a sudden you start activating that system, and activating that system activates other systems, and lots of reflex systems that happen after downstream from acupuncture. So, when you do a magnetic field projection into the body, all sorts of stuff happen.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Yes, that is fascinating and really right up my alley. So, thank you for bringing that up. How about the tendinomuscular meridians? So, that’s a little bit different than the acupuncture meridians.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
So, think of it this way. We know about power lines. Right? We know that power lines produce magnetic fields because of the current flow loss. So, what happens is, I’ve done this actually, I’ve taken fluorescent bulb and gone under a power line and the bulb lights up. It doesn’t light up like if you had current coming into a directive, but it gets brighter. So, the power line magnetic field and the power line is interacting with the molecules, the minerals that are in that fluorescent tube. Well, the body’s basically the same thing, and the acupuncture system is just like that as well. So, all of a sudden it becomes activated and all sorts of things happen. Now, every cable, every magnetic cable, every magnetic line in the body has current around it. Has a magnetic field around it. So, essentially all of these meridians become magnetic fields around the body. So, it becomes like a shield. Each cable has its own shield and that’s called the Tendinomuscular Meridian. So, they flow along the Meridian lines of the body and they produce this kind of tendinomuscular. It’s more like in the muscular system and in attendant system. So, that’s where it was discovered, and that’s why it’s called tendinomuscular, but basically it’s a magnetic shield that we all naturally produce.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Is there a way to measure that? Do you have some preferred modes to measure that?
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
It’s very subtle. You have to use very sensitive equipment. So, just like you can measure a magnetic field around a wire that’s flowing as it produces a current. You can do basically the same thing in the body, but we’re talking about micro-volts.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Yeah.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
Extremely low levels of energy.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
All right. So, we’ve got these direct currents. We have these pulsed electromagnetic fields coming in, interacting with our bodies. And we started out talking about the ashes on the embers, getting the ashes off, to really get into that deep tissue healing. So, how do the PEMFs generate that deep tissue healing?
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
Nothing in a body, nothing, not even metal, nothing in a body stops the magnetic field. It goes right on through. Think of it this way. A magnetic field is like the wind blowing through the trees. You don’t see it. The only way there is the leaves are moving or the branches are moving, but it doesn’t stop. The tree does not use up, basically the wind. It can slow it down a bit, but basically doesn’t use it up, and the same thing with the body. The body does not slow down or use up a magnetic field. As it’s passing through, basically, it’s starting to do all this charge production in the tissues and because it passes all the way through the body from one side of the body to the other, as it’s passing through its initiates all these healing processes. So, PEMF are not blocked by the skin. PEMFs are not blocked by the fluids in the body.
PEMFs are not blocked by bone. There’s no difference. The body doesn’t care whether it’s bone, or muscle, or fat, or whatever, it’s to a magnetic field, it’s basically the same. So, it goes right on through as if it was air. And you can do these. You can actually do. I’ve done these measurements where you can take a magnetic field, you have a magnetic field producer, and you take a magnetic device. You measure the magnetic field, and add a distance, you can measure the field. Then what you do is you put a body in the middle. There’s no difference, right? The magnetic goes all the way through, as if it wasn’t even there, but it’s the action of the magnetic field as it’s moving through, that’s that pulse, and that’s the key “it’s” the pulse. It’s the pulse pulse moves through into the body, moves past the body and out, but as it’s moving through, it’s jiggling all that charts that we talked about.
It’s awakening, the tendinomuscular meridians. It’s awakening, the acupuncture system. It’s awakening, all the charge production in the body. And some people do equate the body to a battery, as I said at the beginning. So, what you’re doing is you’re recharging this battery. You’re doing more than that. You’re recharging all sorts of processes, but one of the things you’re doing, is you’re recharging the whole body battery, and that’s one of the reasons that healers often find that their magnetic fields, the healers magnetic fields, gets much bigger after a magnetic field exposure. And you can measure this with an aurora meter.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Got it. So, those actions, what are some of the actions then, as that field is moving through the body? What are we seeing? What happens in the body then?
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
Because of that sort of basic principle of interacting with charge and ion, then all sorts of activities gets generated in the body. And so how does healing happen? What do you need to have healing? At the very least, you need to have the production of ATP, to wake up the mitochondria and make more energy in the tissues, in the cells. You open the circulation, you open blood vessels, and you start to deliver more oxygen and nutrients into the tissues. Blood vessels that are clamped down, muscles that are clamped down, all of a sudden relax and open up, which helps with the circulation. That’s the mechanism of increasing circulation is you’re just opening everything up. But in addition to opening the circulation, you’re making the blood flow better. So, the blood’s not as thick. It has less viscosity. So, it’s changing the proteins and the proteins are now interacting with the magnetic field to increase charge and activity, so there’s more flow. We see this with somebody called “Rouleaux Formation.”
People talk about dark field microscopy and so on, and you can see the coining of red blood cells. So, when they’re red blood cells stack on top of each other, or what we call “coin”, then they have a decreased surface area for carrying oxygen. And so what you do with magnetic fields, if you expose that blood to a magnetic field, all of a sudden the coining stops, the red blood cells separate each other, now they have a much bigger surface area to carry oxygen. So, that’s one of the other aspects of my natural therapy, is now you’re increasing the amount of oxygen delivery into the cells and tissues. So, you have an anticoagulant effect when you, obviously, if your blood becomes thick and it doesn’t move adequately, you can get clots. So, if you’re sitting in an airplane for 12 hours, and you’re not moving your legs and you have different changes in your air pressure, you’re not hydrating adequately, then you increase the risk of clotting, while magnetic fields remove that risk of clotting, to a great extent.
There’s a natural painkilling effect of magnetic fuel therapy. Natural. That’s one of the first actions of a magnetic field is to decrease pain. And so you’re decreasing pain by virtue of the pain receptors in the body, but you’re also decreasing pain by decreasing inflammation. So, one of the key elements of magnetic fields, as I mentioned, is inflammation reduction. Every cell in the body is impacted by the magnetic field, or as long as there’s a magnetic field for the whole body, all the cells in the body are influenced and therefore you can decrease inflammation. And then you stimulate stem cells. You stimulate DNA and RNA and you stimulate protein production. And so you that’s where the healing processes begin to kick in. So, one of the examples I have in my Power Tools for Health book, is a three year old child who tore off the end of her thumb. And when she tore off the end of her thumb, fortunate, they called me right after it happened. We got them to sew it back on again, and in the Power Tools for Health book, I have pictures of that. You could see the suture marks and you could see that it’s black. The piece that’s sewn back on is now black, as you would expect because there’s no blood supply, it was torn off. So, with magnetic field therapy an hour to an hour and a half a day for three months, she regrew a thumb, regrew it, and now she’s actually growing her nail.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
I love your Power Tools book. I actually use that clinically almost daily, because what is in there are all of the conditions that have research. So, that would be my next question for you. What are the biggest conditions that have the more researcher that maybe some things that people haven’t thought about, but also the biggies?
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
Well, we talked about pain. So really, if you think about the basic actions of magnetic fields, those basic actions are not determined by the body. Well, in a sense, they are determined by the body. They’re determined by the magnetic field going through the body and then they’re activated. What the body does is the body will basically produce the action that it needs for the problem that it has on hand, and then that depends on the intensity of the magnetic field, as does the inflammation. So, intensity becomes very important, based on the fact that magnetic fields drop off very rapidly. Like the radiation analogy that we used. You need the right magnetic field intensity to decrease inflammation. You decrease inflammation, now the body then begins to drive in oxygen. It begins to drive in nutrients. It begins to drive and stimulate RNA and DNA. So, it doesn’t really matter what the condition is.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Yes.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
If you understand those basic mechanisms, they apply to almost all health conditions. So, basically pain, anything with pain. You’re not dealing with the pain and you don’t wanna just put a bandaid on the pain. You don’t wanna just put some ibuprofen on it or a Tylenol, ’cause it’s gonna come back, if you don’t heal the cause. So, the magnetic fields help to de decrease the pain. But at the same time, they’re stimulating the healing in the body, which means that if you do that long enough as the body needs to deal with the problem that you’re managing, then the pain doesn’t come back. ‘Cause that’s the goal. You don’t want the pain to come back. You don’t wanna cover it up and just make you feel better temporarily. You want to heal it.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
So true.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
So, that applies to anything. Autoimmune diseases. Arthritis. Injuries and Wounds. We talked about wounds. So, basically, almost anything. Detox happens with magnetic field therapy, ’cause you open up cells, nutrients get in better waste gets out better. It stimulates the brain. You can help to heal TBI, concussions, and brain injuries. It helps with Alzheimer’s. It helps with mood. I have an example with somebody came to see me in the office who was extraordinarily anxious, and I put a magnetic heel in the back of her neck. I had a frequency pivot that had a reasonable intensity, and I put on the back of her head to stimulate relaxation in the brain. So, in that case I was using frequency specifically for that purpose. I had the intensity I needed, but now I was generating the frequency I needed. And that was theta. So I put her on theta. So, when you’re anxious, you’re in beta. Beta is the brainwaves that we’re using when we’re thinking, and processing, and learning, and so on. We are both in beta right now. I certainly hope so.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Yes.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
And hopefully your viewers and listeners. So, what happened is I put the coil in the back of her head. She was pacing. She wouldn’t sit still. She was so anxious. So, literally, I put that on the back of her neck, she kept pacing, and within about three to four minutes, she sat down. You literally could see the elevator going down, just with the magnetic stimulation of the brain. So, there’s a lot we can do with the brain with PMF therapy, not only tissue healing inside the brain. So, if you had a stroke or if you had a brain injury again, we can often heal the tissue, but we are also helping the brain to function better. So, memory can improve with magnetic field therapy. Concentration and focus, you can increase those. I had to pick up my daughter from the airport in Baltimore, at two o’clock in the morning, she was supposed to arrive at 10:30, but because of weather and delays, she didn’t get in until two, and I had to get up the next morning to come to the office.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Sure.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
So, I put a magnetic field, the back of my neck, same device that I used in that woman. ‘Cause now what I is, I cranked up the frequency to be in beta and boning, I was alert. I was alert till I picked her up, and when I got home, took the magnetic field off, went right to sleep.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Wow.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
It only worked for the time that I needed it, but it did not have a permanent effect like coffee or something, where you have this lag effect afterwards and you can’t go back to sleep. The chemicals have to be processed by the body. Magnetic fields don’t do that. It’s all frequency based.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Got it. That is awesome. That’s a great example as well. At the tail end of our interview. Anything last words that you would like to share with our listeners and viewers?
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
Probably the most important thing is that if you buy cheap, you get cheap. So, you can’t make your decision on how to buy a magnetic field system based on just price alone. ‘Cause people get disappointed. I’ve used high cost, $6,000 machines, that only produce one gouts. So, I mentioned for in inflammation, to reduce inflammation, you need about 15 gouts, maybe I didn’t mention that, but you need about 15 gouts optimally, wherever the target tissue is. So, one gouts is not gonna get it anywhere. It’s not gonna go in into the body virtually at all. So, you have to buy based on what you need to use the system for, and you may have to make an investment. These are not throwaway devices. Once you make your investment, this is something you and your family, right? I usually tell people that when you buy a magnetic system, you don’t own it, a house owns it. Including the dog, the cat, and the plants.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Right? Yeah.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
Right, so Supercharge Your Health, my latest book, has more examples of how to consider getting a PEMF system.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Okay.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
Okay. What parameters you have to look at? What kind of device do you need and how do you use it? So, how do you choose it and how did you use it, to get the best results? So, the Supercharge Your Health, gives you those guidelines, for how to make the best choice. Again, you don’t wanna spend $400 for a machine, that’s not gonna do you any good. Now, you can spend $400 or $600 for a machine that’ll help your tennis-elbow. That’s probably okay. But don’t expect it to treat your brain.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
Yeah.
William Pawluk, MD, MSc
Don’t expect it to treat your heart, or your lungs, if you have lung C0V!D or something, then you’re gonna need something stronger, that’s gonna work much deeper into the body. And the Supercharge Your Health book, really gives you those guidelines.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc

Also, before we close, I should say that if you don’t wanna buy the book yet, you can get the ebook for $9, that’s a great investment.
Greg Eckel, ND, LAc
