Research on PEMF Detox Tech
The use of electromagnetic fields for detox wellness dates back to the 19th century, and the scientific studies regarding the benefits and applications of PEMF are extensive. While this page is by no means a comprehensive list of research articles, it does contain the studies most often referenced in Pulse's print and digital resources.
As you explore and reference these items, please keep in mind that TeslasPEMF products and services should not be used to diagnose, treat, or cure any physical or medical conditions. Our TeslasPEMF systems are meant for general education and simple, like exercise, detoxification and have not been evaluated by the FDA.

(3p) Energy medicine through PEMF therapy is a key new modality for wellness chiropractors as it promotes natural and measurable wellness and healing down to the cellular level in every tissue, bone and organ of the body."

"When the energy fields pass seamlessly into the cells of the area, the cells absorb that energy. In this way, the electromagnetic fields exercise and energize those cells. PEMF practitioners can direct electromagnetic fields towards 'spot' areas of a patient's body that have injuries or other damage, or they can provide 'broad' area treatment to improve self-reported psychometric measures of sleep, mood, and quality of life (life satisfaction) without adverse effects. That's why PEMF sessions are often called 'cellular exercise' and are popular among biohackers."

"The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the body's rest and digestion response when the body is relaxed, resting, or feeding. It basically undoes the work of sympathetic division after a stressful situation. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases respiration and heart rate and increases digestion."

“The periodic increase in blood flow during the PEMF treatment regimen provides more nutrients and better oxygen - carbon dioxide exchange in skeletal muscle and a potential for greater energy production.” "PEMFs increase heat-independent blood-flow to skeletal muscle after treatment. Increased blood flow, like that during exercise, enhances nutrient delivery and facilitates gas exchange in active or injured tissues."

“This mode of applying high frequency currents in medical treatment appears to me to offer the greatest possibilities at the hands of the physician.”
DEMO: How The TeslasPEMF System Works
SCIENCE: On the PEMF Technology
Detoxification is the natural process by which the body cleanses itself of impurities. This prevents toxins from accumulating in the body and impeding its natural functions. Many clients may experience a PEMF detox after their first Pulsing experience as PEMF kickstarts this crucial process at the cellular level.
How does Detox Work?
The detoxification process is carried out primarily by the eliminative organs, which break down and excrete unwanted debris. These include the kidneys, liver, lymph, skin, and the digestive system. In order for these organs to function at their best, it is essential that they are as clean as possible. This can be achieved in many ways, but healthy eating, nutritional support, and exercise are among the key elements.
The detoxification process also produces some negative symptoms. Some of the most common are below:
-
Brain fog
-
Fatigue
-
Nausea
-
Skin eruptions
-
Cold sweats
-
Fever
-
Headaches
-
Foul breath and/or body odors
Some individuals may be prone to stronger reactions, such as detoxification episodes. These individuals typically include:
-
Those with chronic or metabolic health disorders
-
Those who are taking medications
-
Those who eat a high amount of processed foods
-
Those who are exposed to toxic chemicals and heavy metals
Many Pulsing clients mistakenly try to avoid a PEMF detox because of its unwanted symptoms. However, the detoxification process is vital in overcoming wellness hurdles presented by allowing toxins to remain in the body.
General Detox Support
Hydration is an essential piece of the detoxification process, whole foods can support hydration using humic and fulvic acids to increase water retention and dispel toxins.
Those who are ill due to toxins use up nutrition more quickly. For this reason, they may also require other supplements. Consult with a licensed healthcare practitioner to learn how to effectively use these remedies.
Epsom salts have infection-fighting properties and can be soaked in to help fight skin infections. Saunas help the body to sweat and release toxins through the skin. Colonics insert water into the bowel to help cleanse the colon, a key eliminative channel that removes waste. Finally, coffee enemas help cleanse the colon and support the optimal functioning of the liver.
PEMF Detox Support
The magnetic field in PEMF travels on the electrical current that already exists in the body. Then, the electrically-based cell membranes respond to the electromagnetic fields of PEMF. As the PEMF stimulates and exercises the cell membrane, it may change the ions on either side of the membrane to trigger the open and close mechanism of the cell, allowing it to release unwanted toxins.
A PEMF detox may consist of the aforementioned symptoms. You can support your clients’ detoxification experience and mitigate unwanted symptoms by doing the following:
-
Make sure clients are hydrated and offer a bottled or pure water with 20 Chlorophyl Drops prior to their session
-
Limit time pulsing the head and core as this can trigger detoxification
-
Use a low-intensity “cooldown” period at the end of every session to support the body through detoxification
-
Schedule a follow-up session to pulse the client on low intensity and assist with any further detoxification concerns
-
Finally, work with a naturopath or nutritional consultant if you are inexperienced in supporting detoxification
In summary, proper detoxification is worth considering for its lasting benefits to your health. In addition, there are many tools that can help support the body through detoxification. Each helps the body to eliminate waste more efficiently and reduce symptoms of detoxification.
