ElectroMagnetic Therapy in Chiropractic Practice Dr. Jerry Jacobson Founder and Chief Science Officer Magneceutical Health 1 Outline of Agenda Understanding Magnetism Science behind Magnetic fields applied to Health Clinical Research using Magnetic fields Summary of How Magnetism applies to Chiropractic 2 D.D. Palmer...father of Chiropractic Described TONE.... “Nerves, like all material substances, are composed of particles, atoms or molecules, which vibrate, oscillate… When nerves are in normal condition, known as tone – normal tension… impulses are transmitted by vibration in a normal manner with usual force.” 3 Building on the Works of Giants Jacobson Resonance Equation: 2 mc =BvLq m= target mass (molecule) c= speed of light B=strength of Magnetic field L= length of organism q= unit electric charge Cyclotron Resonance Equation: f= frequency q= charge of electron B=strength of Magnetic field π = Pi m= mass of electron 4 f=qB/2πm Dr. W. Ross Adey Maintained that molecular organization in biosystems essential for sensing weak stimuli (thermal, chemical, or electrical) resides in joint functions of molecular assemblies (or in subsets). It is at the atomic level within systems that physical rather than chemical events shape the flow of signals and transmission of energy. 5 Electromagnetic Fields Affect Cardiac Rate and Rhythm Low Level EMF’s applied non-invasively can slow heart rate and enhance A-V block. the effect could be used in patients with atrial tachycardia (AT’s) and atrial fibrillation (AF) to slow rapid ventricular rates.

Neural firing is shown at baseline. After 3 hrs of rapid pacing there was marked increase in amplitude and frequency of the neural activity. After 3hrs of combined PTEMF and rapid pacing these effects were significantly reduced 8 Low Level EMF to Suppress A-Fib: The first step toward a completely Non Invasive Treatment In 3 separate experiments, pulsed Pico-Tesla EMF (PTEMF) applied to vagal trunks, right atrial appendage or non invasively across the chest can significantly increase AF threshold, markedly inhibited the duration and cycle length of AF induced by powerful cholinergic stimulation. In addition PTEMF suppress RAP induced ERP changes and AF indelibility. These latter effects were associated with an initial increase in the amplitude and frequency of neural firing in the GP and reversal by PTEMF’s. * Pulsed PTEMF’s were in the PicoTesla range at Low frequencies in Delta range * AF= atrial fibrillation * RAP= rapid atrial pacing * ERP= effective refractory period * GP = ganglionated plexi Professor Benjamin Scherlag, Heart Rhythm Institute at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. 2010 9 Restoration of Nerve Ultrastructure and Recovery from Motorneuropathy in Mice by Electromagnetic Field Grip Strength diminishes over first 10 weeks Grip Strength returns over last 8 weeks with PTemf Motor Neuropathy-Cornell/Fairleigh-Dickinson * Demonstrated in vivo effect EMF on restoration of subcellular structures required for nerve impulse conduction and metabolism * EMF treatment lead to a rise in grip strength from Motor neuropathy. * (Anjali Saxena et al, 2003; study available on request) 10 Restoration of Nerve Ultrastructure and Recovery from Motorneuropathy in Mice by Electromagnetic Field Radial Nerve Ultrastructure Presented In Electron Micrographs Fig. 1 Electron micrograph (EM) of cross sections of radial nerve of mice from control Group 1, indicating Axon (AX), Axonal membrane (AXM), Golgi bodies (GO), Microtubule (MIC), Mitochondria (MT), Myelin sheath (MY), Neurofilament (NF), Schwann cells (SC), A.
