PEMF Therapy in Mexico
What is PEMF?
The acronym PEMF stands for pulsed electromagnetic fields. PEMF therapy is safe and has been proven beneficial for all tissue, bone and nerve repair. It reverses pain and discomfort, while regenerating healthy cells. PEMF devices create a low intensity electromagnetic field that works at a cellular level in your body. Laying on a PEMF therapy mat affects each of your 37 trillion cells and gently supports your body’s amazing healing ability.

Tony Robbins Shoulder Injury
Tony Robbins had a snowboarding accident leaving him with an excruciatingly painful torn rotator cuff and the discovery that he also had severe spinal stenosis. Serendipitously, at a conference a spinal surgeon recommended PEMF therapy to him. His first experience with 20 minutes of PEMF therapy reduced pain from 9 out of 10 to 4.5.
In his book, Tony Robbins says “I personally recommend that you get yourself an experience with one, and you’ll be sold on its power and impact. Most people will do three sessions of twenty to 60 minutes and see significant positive changes. But I felt the impact, and many do, after just the first session, and I’m willing to bet you’ll notice a positive change. PEMF devotees affectionately call it “lightning in a box,” and just may be the right way for you to decrease both acute and chronic pain, increase circulation, and boost your overall energy while recharging your health.” *

How the Beneficial Actions of PEMFs Work in the Body
Increased Circulation
One of the most basic functions magnetic fields have in the body is to increase circulation. When a cell (such as a red blood cell) is injured or ill, it does not hold its ideal charge. This causes red cells to “stick” together, making circulation slow and blocking tiny capillaries that only single red blood cells can pass through. When a magnetic field goes through the red cell, the membrane becomes properly charged, allowing the cell to repel itself and keep itself separate from other red cells, thereby increasing circulation. In addition, PEMFs increase various chemicals in the blood vessel walls that cause the blood vessels to dilate, improving the amount of blood flowing through the vessels and therefore increasing the amount of oxygen delivered to the tissues.
Poor circulation makes tissues unhealthy and prone to disease and breakdown. Improved circulation helps tissues get the nutrition and oxygen they need, while expelling the waste they produce. Good circulation helps with tissue healing and regeneration. The result of improved circulation is the reduction of swelling and the removal of bruising.
In short, PEMF therapy improves circulation by:
• Reduces Inflammation Which Restricts the Flow of Blood
• Provides Energy to the Cells and Keeps Red Blood Cells From Clumping Up Together
• Dilates the Capillaries for Improved Micro-Circulation
Decreased Inflammation and Pain
Inflammation is a cascade of physiologic processes initiated by the body to repair cellular damage in tissues by increasing the blood flow to the damaged area and increasing the number of good inflammatory cells. Inflammation is a necessary and beneficial process, but it often persists longer than necessary, resulting in chronic inflammation and pain. PEMFs have been found to reduce chronic, damaging inflammation.
Stress Reduction
Stress is part of being human. Normal stress, called eustress, is necessary for survival. Too much stress is very harmful to the body, and accelerates aging. Stress is responsible for at least 65% of our illnesses, so stress reduction is necessary for all of us. Stress-reducing activities performed only now and then will allow too much stress-related damage to accumulate over time. Therefore, stress reduction must be a daily activity. Magnetic fields have many stress-reducing effects. Weekly use of PEMFs help to wash away the negative effect natural stresses have on our bodies.
Bone Healing
Magnetic fields pass through the body – even the bones – as if the body wasn’t even there. PEMFs work to repair bones, whether they are damaged by surgery, injury, or disease, and have been found to improve bone regeneration such as occurs with osteoporosis and osteopenia, among other bone destroying conditions.
Blood Oxygenation
Just as a fire cannot burn without oxygen, our cells cannot produce heat and energy without oxygen. Our lungs extract oxygen from the air we breathe. It passes into our blood and is carried by arteries away from the heart and delivered to the rest of the body, including all the organs. PEMFs help with the process of extracting oxygen out of the air we breathe and help it to be transported into the circulation. The absorbed oxygen is then transported through the body to all the cells, where it is absorbed into the individual cells. In the cells, enzymes and other basic cell energy production processes use the oxygen for cell metabolism, the energy necessary to function properly. The metabolism of an organism determines which substances it will find nutritious and which it will find harmful. Proper blood-oxygen levels at the cell level (not just in the blood) allow this process to continue quickly and efficiently. After the oxygen exchange takes place, veins carry deoxygenated blood and metabolic waste products away from those same cells and back to the heart for recycling again.
Enhanced Muscle Function & Energy
Muscle energy, needed for muscles to work, is developed through a process called Myosin Phosphorylation. Myosin is muscle, and phosphorylation is energy (ATP) production. Optimal energy allows muscles to work harder and longer, and recover more quickly from their work. Muscles that are contracted or in spasm are able to relax, decreasing tension and reducing the pain caused by spasm.
The PEMF Therapy Mat
The PEMF mat that is used at Soulutions Wellness is a FDA approved Class II medical device. This therapy mat provides PEMF, negative ion, photon light, and crystal therapy. This is a combination of natural therapies you cannot get anywhere else. Each of these therapies on their own are very effective healing options, but combined they create a powerhouse of healing energies that treat the whole body at once. In addition to the above benefits from PEMF, this mat also has:
Negative ions
These invisible allies can help keep your breathing clearly and living cleanly. However, access to them is not always simple. The technology that drives society unfortunately also decreases the abundance of negative ions in the environment. A lack of negative ion exposure can dampen moods, decrease productivity, and increase instances of illness.
Negative ion benefits:
• Assists in the normalization of serotonin levels improving quality of sleep
• Improve energy levels and mood
• Supplement oxygen flow to the brain
• Helps your body to detoxify
Crystals
The mat is embedded with several pounds of pure natural crystals – amethyst, tourmaline, obsidian, jade, and quartz. When heated, these gemstones release far infrared rays and negative ions that penetrate deep into your body’s core. These processes assist in normalizing your body’s functionality and energy balance. This also guides your body into a state that is more receptive to other forms of therapy.
Photon Lights
The mat contains 60 rejuvenating photon lights.
• Uses visible red lights at a wavelength of 660 nanometers that penetrates just below the surface of your skin.
• Benefits are obtained when photon lights are applied through thin clothes or cover.
• Beneficial for managing energy levels.
• Interacts with the mitochondria, the part of the body that produces proteins and collagen.
FAQ’S
WHAT IS AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD?
Our bodies are electric – every heartbeat generates electromagnetic waves throughout the blood vessels of the body, stimulating tissues at a cellular level. Nothing happens in the body without an electromagnetic exchange between cells. When electromagnetic activity ceases, life ceases. Electromagnetic energy controls our chemistry. Disruption of this energy in cells causes impaired cell metabolism, and if our cells are not healthy, our body is not healthy. Magnetic fields increase energy and circulation in the tissues, thereby stimulating healing.
External magnetic fields and the normal electric and electromagnetic fields produced by the body interact. So, a magnetic field passing through our whole body (PEMF) will have an electromagnetic effect on each of our 70 trillion cells.
ARE ELECTORMAGNETIC FIELDS SAFE?
EMFs, the electromagnetic fields produced by cellphones, microwaves, and Wi-Fi signals, are considered harmful to the body. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) are totally different. EMFs have high frequencies and short wavelengths, which means they can be absorbed by the body and cause cellular damage. PEMFs are extremely low-frequency and have very long wavelengths, so they pass through the body affecting change, but without being absorbed. PEMF technology was designed specifically to treat people and has been proven safe.
HOW DO MAGNETIC FIELDS HELP OUR CELLS?
Some of the basic actions of a cell are to generate energy to eliminate waste, to repair and regenerate itself. Magnetic fields increase motion of ions and electrolytes in the tissues and fluids of the body. It’s both easy and quick to move an ion or electrolyte in a living organism using magnetic fields. This movement stimulates a vast array of chemical and electric actions in the tissues of the body, helping them to rebalance or heal themselves where necessary.
All cells need energy to function. Cellular energy requires ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) and is fundamental to all cell and body functions and is necessary to sustain life itself. ATP regulates cell metabolism by transporting chemical energy within our cells. Low ATP levels cause our cells to be sick, and decreases their ability to heal, regenerate, or function properly. Through the increased motion of ions and electrolytes, magnetic fields help cells increase their energy (or “charge”) by up to 500%.
WHY DO I NEED TREATMENT AT A CELLULAR LEVEL?
Magnetic fields also affect the charge of the cell membrane, which allows membrane channels to open up. These channels are like the doors and windows of a house. By opening cell channels, nutrients are better able to enter the cell, and waste is more easily eliminated from the cell. This helps to rebalance and restore optimum cell function. If you restore enough cells, they will all work more efficiently. Cells of the same type come together to make tissues, and those tissues come together to make organs. So, by restoring or maintaining cellular function, you will, in turn, restore or maintain organ function, allowing the entire body to function better. We all know that the body ages over time. Maintaining the function of every individual cell at an optimal level every day is an important part of slowing aging.
CAN PEMF THERAPY PROTECT ME FROM FUTURE ILLNESSES?
Cellular “injury”, the state of a cell when it is not healthy, leads to disease conditions. Magnetic fields protect against cell injury by improving circulation, repair processes, and energy, and increasing special stress proteins in the cells. These proteins are used to prevent cell breakdown and wear and tear, as well as help speed recovery from injury. Magnetic fields balance cells, tissues and bodily functions at very fundamental levels, even before damage and problems become obvious to you.
HOW QUICKLY WILL MY ILLNESS OR HEALTH ISSUE IMPROVE?
Minor imbalances in individual cells can be rebalanced very easily before they become an obvious problem. Regrettably, many people wait until they have a significant health issue before they seek treatment with a PEMF system. By this time, some problems have become too deep-seated to reverse, and only symptom control remains possible. It is important to say that PEMFs are not expected to cure disease. Their role is to stimulate the various functions of the body so that the body can better support and heal itself. Understanding the extent of a health problem will help the individual to have realistic expectations of the time required to produce expected or desired results. If the problem took a long time to get to where it is now, PEMFs may take a long time to give the greatest benefit – and may never produce hoped-for results if the damage is too great. That doesn’t mean you won’t get significant health benefits. We need to respect the body’s healing timelines and processes, and work in harmony with them. When treatment has begun, the order of healing will follow the body’s own wisdom of what tissue and symptoms will be cleared first, second, etc. Patience and acceptance of this natural order will aid in the healing process.
WHAT CAN I DO TO IMPROVE THE EFFECTS OF PEMFS IN MY BODY?
Since most of the effects of magnetic fields happen because of how they act on ions, especially calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium, these ions and electrolytes need to be at the right levels in the body. It is difficult to heal depleted tissues without sound nutrition. Supplements may also be quite helpful for magnetic therapy to be most effective. Magnesium glycinate supplementation may be helpful as most people are deficient in this important mineral. Consistently drinking adequate amounts of water daily also helps.
