Diabetes and PEMF Therapy

First of all let me say that after 44 years of medical practice, one of the most troubling conditions I have
ever had to deal with is diabetes.

What is
Diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus (DM), more commonly known simply as diabetes, is a chronic, lifelong disease that
causes high levels of sugar in the blood. Diabetes affects more than 20 million Americans, and over 40
million Americans are pre-diabetic, which often develops before Type II diabetes. It is a continually
growing problem that can lead to many other health complications.
There are 2 major types of diabetes: Type I and Type II.
Type I diabetes can occur at any age but is often diagnosed in children. Type I diabetics produce very little
or no insulin. The cause is still unknown. Type II diabetes is the most common. It generally occurs in
adults, though younger people are being diagnosed due to increased obesity rates. The consequence of a
continually available food supply is that humans will tend to overeat carbohydrates. In some people,
eating too many carbs over the years can lead to persistently high blood sugar levels. These high blood
sugar levels produce persistently high insulin levels.
Over time, the body stops listening to the insulin (this is called insulin resistance) and the pancreas can
become depleted in producing more insulin. Insulin resistance leads to the bodys inability to reduce the
high blood sugar levels. The result is Type II diabetes. Over time, Type II diabetes leads to multisystem
breakdown and failure, what I call death by a thousand cuts.

How Diabetes Affects the Body

In normal digestion, glucose enters the bloodstream after being broken down from the food we eat. The
pancreas produces insulin, which moves glucose from the bloodstream into muscle, fat, and liver cells,
where it is used for energy. In a diabetic person, the pancreas either does not make enough insulin, cells
do not respond to the insulin correctly, or both. Therefore, glucose doesnt get moved into muscle, fat, and
the liver.
A major negative part of the diabetic process is that tissues become robbed of circulation. Diabetics are
always at a higher risk for poor circulation. This can be due to damage to the tiny blood vessels in the
body (microcirculation) or due to plaque buildup in the larger blood vessels in the body. Both of these
types of circulation damage make the blood vessels unable to deliver a sufficient amount of blood to cells.

Once circulation becomes compromised in the body, it begins to affect all organs and tissues to varying
degrees. The most common problems seen in diabetics are retinopathy (damage in the nerves in the back
of the eye), cataracts, macular degeneration, atherosclerosis (blockages in the blood vessels of the body
big and small), heart attacks, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), neuropathy (damage to the nerves
throughout the body, especially in the gut and feet), Alzheimers disease, kidney failure, advanced
arthritis, and overall impaired healing of the tissues, making them more prone to infection and slowing
recovery.
The end products of high sugar levels (called advanced glycation end products, or AGEs) deposit in all
soft tissues of the body bone, nerves, joints, ligaments, and skin included. These AGEs never leave the
tissues once they are deposited; they will be a silent scourge for diabetics for their entire lives.

PEMFs and Diabetes

After my many years of medical practice, and more than 25 years of using magnetic therapies, I have
seen truly life-altering and dramatic results from the use of PEMFs in diabetics. Not only do PEMF
therapies help to condition all tissues to be as healthy as possible, especially as we get older, but they
also accelerate the natural health recovery of diabetic tissues.
Since we cant ever get rid of AGEs, all we can do is to make the tissues containing them be more healthy
and resistant, and to recover and rebuild better long-term. This is exactly what PEMFs do. As I said, I
have seen dramatic improvements in diabetics using PEMFs, when the usual options (including dramatic
surgeries like amputations) were all that was considered. By changing diets and applying whole-body
PEMFs, one of my own patients was reversed from having to have bilateral below-the-knee amputation of
his legs.

Foot Infection from Diabetic Neuropathy

The co-author of my book, Magnetic Therapy in Eastern Europe, showed me a case where a woman
was recommended to have a foot amputated due to massive infection from neuropathy
complications. After 3 months of daily magnetic therapy, using a moderately intense PEMF system, she
was able to save her foot. The neuropathy in that treated foot actually improved as well. Interestingly, the
other foot, which was not treated with PEMFs, had no improvement in the neuropathy. She should use
PEMFs for the rest of her life to save her feet from further harm. See photos below (from October to
January):

Foot Infection and Sore from Diabetic Neuropathy

I had a relative who had a very bad breakdown of the bones in his foot, due to infection and diabetic
neuropathy. He had a foot wound that would not heal even after 2 years of care in a sophisticated wound
care center. He was being recommended amputation when he began to use PEMF therapies. Within 3
months, he was discharged from the wound care facility he was in, was able to ambulate and had
recovery of some sensation in his foot. Unfortunately, he would not consider a diet change. So all we can
do for him is to maintain him where he is, and help him prevent getting into another disastrous situation.

Conclusion
There is a large body of research on the use of PEMFs to reduce pain, improve circulation, improve
wound healing, heal bone, improve arthritis, help liver function, improve pancreatic function, improve the
cells to be able to better handle the use of circulating insulin (thereby reducing insulin resistance) and
many other effects. So I am backed up not only by my own clinical experience with improving the health
and prolonging the lives of diabetics by using PEMFs, but Im also supported by an extensive body of
magnetic field therapy research that demonstrates the effectiveness of PEMFs.
As a consequence, I believe that every prediabetic (with a hemoglobin A1c between 5.7 to 6.4) or diabetic
(with a hemoglobin A1c above 6.4) should own and use DAILY a whole body PEMF system, to help
prevent progression and heal the underlying damage across the whole body. DAILY use is critical. Going
for treatments periodically to any kind of practitioner is going to provide less benefit than ongoing daily
home use. Otherwise, individuals with local problems can add treatment with individual local PEMF
systems to complement the whole body magnetic systems.

Our choices determine our outcomes. Because diabetes is a slowly progressive process and most people
dont see it coming, we dont sound the alarm bell until a large amount of damage is already done in the
body. Everybody, especially anybody whos more than 20 pounds overweight, needs to consider getting a
hemoglobin A1c level drawn by their doctor. If your A1c level is already in the prediabetic range, its likely
to have been there for years. Damage is being done to the body even in the prediabetic range. It is just
very mild and will take years to show evidence of the damage. Clearly, if the A1c is above 6.4 then the
level of damage being done is accelerating and it becomes even more urgent to be more aggressive in
getting the A1c down and helping the body to be as healthy as possible. Unfortunately, despite our best
efforts, it is very challenging to get A1c levels back into the normal range, that is, under 5.7. This is why
its even more important to add support to the bodys cells with PEMFs.
No matter what, dealing with the underlying cause of diabetes (for Type II diabetes, this is overuse of
carbs) is more critical than any other therapies. Diet and supplements are an absolutely essential
component of managing diabetes in general. PEMFs, like all other therapies, including medication and
insulin, do not work well without controlling the diet. The sooner a patient begins to impact the blood sugar
levels, the more effective the results of any other therapies will be. Its always best to begin managing the
problem during the prediabetic process than late in the diabetic process. The later a patient is in the
progression of their diabetes, the harder it is to return to any kind of normality.
While Im a strong believer in what PEMFs can do, I am an even stronger proponent of proper general
health management. Adding PEMF therapies adds a much higher level of certainty of achieving positive
outcomes from managing the diabetic condition.
