Moving from Static to Pulsed Magnetic Fields The rest as they say is history. I had discovered that pulsed electromagnetic fields can stimulate acupuncture points and meridians as well as all the tissues in the path of the electromagnetic field. Therefore, PEMFs were more efficiently effective than just acupuncture alone. Certainly, acupuncture can be more effective, particularly with electrical stimulation, on specific points and for specific problems. PEMF stimulation of an acupuncture point may or may not always be as strong as stimulation with an acupuncture needle. However, because PEMF devices are now available commercially and can be purchased for personal use, they can be used in the home setting on a completely flexible basis, accomplishing some of the goals of acupuncture but, in addition to that, have all the benefits of individual cellular stimulation. Descriptions of these other benefits can be found in our Education section. Early on in my use of magnets I did some research with a doctor who could do nerve conduction studies. We discovered that magnets placed over acupuncture points did indeed have an impact on the flow of energy up the acupuncture Meridian. At one point, I actually discovered in Dr. Robert Becker’s book The Body Electric, from research done in his lab, that acupuncture points and meridians are part of a DC current system. If you know anything about magnetic fields and electricity, you will know that they interact with each other. That means that magnets will interact with the acupuncture points and meridians from an electrical perspective. So, one does not have to break the skin with a needle to produce an acupuncture like effect. One may simply be able to use magnets to stimulate the acupuncture points and meridians. In addition to using needles and magnets to stimulate acupuncture points, these points may also be stimulated by pressure, heat, electrical stimulation, laser, ice, and friction. In fact, electrostimulation of acupuncture points is also commonly used in North America. In fact, my UCLA training emphasized the use of electrically stimulated needles to perform acupuncture.
