You might want to consider PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field therapy) for PD

PDWarrior1900 profile image

Currently I'm taking over 30 supplements... Getting real sunshine 4 to 5 times a week ... Using my home sauna twice a week (90 minute sessions)... exercise (bike riding a couple of times a week to the beach and walking home -- most of that is uphill) ... swimming a couple of times a week...

It's not enough.

So I've been looking into PEMF therapy for a few months. A doctor near me uses a PEMF therapy bed to treat PDP -- but she doesn't accept 'any' insurance at all! (And it's a very expensive therapy.)

These devices can sell for up to $6,000.00.

If you've got the extra cash, I say go ahead and buy one.

Here's one I found for $2,000.00 that this independent researcher on YouTube did a video on what 'type' of PEMF to get and he ranks Medithera as one of the top 3 to buy (the others cost QRS.com is $3,300 and $6,000.00 for mMedithera)

$2,000.00

medithera-usa.com/product/m...

this is $6,000

life.bemergroup.com/product...

...

Did you know that the NIH spends only about 250 million yearly for PD research???

While ... Medicare... spends 25 BILLION dollars to take care of those afflicted with PD!

So for every dollar spent on research -- $100.00 is spent on treatment.

just remember that Uncle Joe just sent $60 BILLION dollars to Ukraine!

Leaving over a million of us AMERICANS... to suffer with PD.

Where can you get that therapy in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania? Are you on any medication? What are your signs and symptoms that you struggle with? Thanks for sharing information

I hope you're able to continue without medication. I just went on medication in October. I was diagnosed with parkinsonism in 2017 and went through what you are doing, supplements exercise physical therapy and diet. Worked for a while. Recently got diagnosed with osteoporosis to complicate matters. I find I have very little energy and I've really started slacking off exercising. I'm starting to struggle a little with the medication I'm taking. Good luck keep me posted how your visit goes with the movement specialist. Thanks for your help

If i understood you correctly -- you first had PD symptoms in 2017... but you did not need any meds until 2021 -- that's great! I hope I can achieve that because i expect a 'MIRACLE CURE' well within my 5 year 'window' ...--------------------------------------------------

and did you see my new post about PEMF therapy mattress i just bought? It's something you might want to consider...

here's what i posted today---------------------------------------

PEMF is a very interesting therapy that's been around for decades.

This is a 2015 study from the NIH

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

"Conclusions"

"Electromagnetic therapy opens a new avenue for PD treatment. Each electromagnetic therapy technique described in this review can be applied according to a single protocol or as a combination of different protocols specifically tailored to the PD patient’s needs. Beyond the necessity to choose coil or electrode size and placement, there is a variety of parameters that have to be taken into account when designing electromagnetic therapy approaches and they include stimulation intensity, duration, frequency, pattern, electrode polarity and size. "

"Furthermore, electromagnetic therapy can also be combined with pharmacological or non-pharmacological treatments, e.g. physical therapy and cognitive tasks, to produce additive or potentiated clinical effects. In conclusion, electromagnetic therapy represents a non-invasive, safe and promising approach that can be used alone or combined with conventional therapies for the challenging treatment of PD motor and non-motor symptoms."

---------------------------------------------------------

This is a 2018 study from PubMed

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/295...

"Effects of transcranial pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation on quality of life in Parkinson's disease"

"Conclusion: Treatment with T-PEMFs improved mobility and activities of daily living scores for clinical effect size only in the active group, indicating a positive treatment response for motor symptoms."

-----------------------------------------------

I don't know if PEMF is going to work for me and i'll report my progress every 30 days.

This is what I bought from Amazon has for about $1,100.00.

amazon.com/OMI-Full-Body-Ma...

Before you buy it, ask the seller to send you the directions (like I did).

In the PDF, scroll down to page 3 where it lists all the conditions that this PEMF device will treat. ....And... it tells you that to treat PD ... use it for 20 - 30 minutes daily (each session) and at 20 hz frequency (it is the P1 program that you want to select).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I only bought this after comparing this to other, far more expensive PEMF mats from Bemer, QRS, and IMRS and MediThera. These cost from $2k up to $8k.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before you go shopping to buy, watch this very instructional video about the benefits of PEMF.

It's 15 minutes

STAY STRONG!

With over 130 international clinical trials going on right NOW...

A 'MIRACLE CURE' is just around the corner!

I dont doubt PEMF benefits but personally speaking, I purchased a $3K Bemer body matt early in my diagnosis- used it religiously for 3 years, but not so sure it made any tangible difference. Its been almost 4 yrs since I stopped using it. Its collecting dust. Sure, I could rent it out and make some $ perhaps, but why would I do that to my fellow PWP...(my challenge is- how is a consumer to gauge if the product is (still) working accurately & effectively?)

thank you very for the feedback and you are absolutely correct about not knowing the 'condition' of your device...------------------

since i also have back and hip pain... i figure if this PEMF 'only' works to help that...

then i'm far ahead of the game

STAY STRONG!

There are over 130 international clinical trials RIGHT NOW...

so a 'MIRACLE CURE' is just around the corner!

out of curiosity -- did you find 'any' benefits from using the PEMF?thanks for sharing

I had mixed results when I had full access to a PEMF mat. During therapy my tremor would stop and I would have a residual effect or up to about 2 hours afterwards. I got to use the mat for a month, everyday for about 30 minutes to an hour.
