Are electro-magnetic fields the same as static (permanent) magnetic fields?
No. With electro-magnetic fields (EMFs), different frequencies have different physiological effects. Some good, some bad. Extremely low-frequency EMFs – are produced by power lines, cell phones, home appliances, and other electronics. Numerous studies have correlated long-term exposure to low-frequency EMFs with negative health effects. Research is on-going to learn more. Higher frequency EMFs – can actually have beneficial effects on the body. Research has linked specific frequency ranges to affect different physiological processes. for instance, different frequencies must each be used for pain relief, blood circulation, bone healing, and depression. Some devices using Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) therapy are FDA-approved for healing non-union bone fractures. Despite their excellent results and no side effects, they are still only used in about 20% of all cases. Researchers are also exploring Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for treating depression, Parkinson’s disease,
