Hi, this is Dr. Pawluk. Today, I have a very important guest, an unusual guest, and somebody who shares a background with me at Johns Hopkins.

So Dr. Staats is the founder and director of the Pain Management Program at Johns Hopkins. He&#8217;s internationally recognized for inventing, developing, and implementing minimally invasive procedures for pain and neuromodulation. He&#8217;s currently the CMO, chief medical officer of the National Spine and Pain Centers, and co-founder of electroCore, which is the primary reason for our chat today. He&#8217;s also the president of the World Institute of Pain, and he&#8217;s the past president of various societies, and they&#8217;re too long to list, but a lot of societies, let me put it that way. He&#8217;s co-edited 14 books, has over 500 scientific publications on pain management and neuromodulation. He&#8217;s been highlighted on &#8220;Good Morning America&#8221;, &#8220;CBS Evening News&#8221;, &#8220;Newsweek&#8221;, and &#8220;CNN&#8221; at his numerous lifetime achievement awards. Again, too numerous to go into. So I welcome you, Dr. Staats, I look forward to our discussion. All right, so let&#8217;s dig in. So this is about the power of the vagus nerve and vagus nerve stimulation. So let&#8217;s tell people, first of all, what is this nerve that they probably have heard about? And they know that it&#8217;s important. So why is the vagus nerve important and what is it?

Peter S. Staats, MD, MBA

William Pawluk, MD, MSc, author of “Supercharge Your Health with PEMF therapy”, was recently a holistic doctor near Baltimore, MD. Previous academic positions at Johns Hopkins and University of Maryland. Training: acupuncture, homeopathy, hypnosis, energy medicine, nutrition and bodywork. Considered the foremost authority on the practical use of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy in North America. Interested in holistic pain management, sleep, anxiety, anti-aging, tissue healing and general health. He is interested in new solutions to stubborn, chronic and frustrating health problems. He wants to try to resolve the cause of the problem and not to simply put a Band-Aid on it. For example, for pain, most conventional treatments for pain rely on “numbing and dumbing”, that is, simply making the perception of pain better but not healing the cause. When on the Dr. Oz show, they both agreed that pain management should be focused on healing the cause. After 25 years in medical practice, seeing the risks and side effects of traditional approaches, and studying various healing approaches, he discovered that PEMFs provide the most benefit and allowed safe, non-toxic, self-directed, self-controlled, at-home pain management.
