Functional Medicine - The Miracle of Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Therapy (PEMF)
play

05/18/23 • 60 min

Electromagnetic therapy has been in use by physicians with Tesla coils in the 1930's stemming from early more rudimentary electric charged needles used for treating slow healing fractures in the mid 1800's. More scholarly research for fractures and bone healing was conducted in the 1960's that led to eventual FDA approval for those indications. A 2003 study conducted by NASA concluded that time varying fields increased the growth rate of neural progenitor cells in culture mediums by 2.5- 4 times. PEMF use has now exploded for health and wellness by consumers particularly after the development of low PEMF mats. There is confusion by physicians as well as the lay public about what devices and strengths are needed for health benefits and healing. Ben Pearl, D.P.M. is exploring and developing a number of new protocols that he has implanted in his practice to treat patients with fractures, arthritis, acute trauma, gout, tendonitis, neuropathy, vascular problems such as Raynaud's, PAD venous insufficiency and neuropathy. He continues to be at the forefront of looking for more effective ways to help patients in the clinic and home setting.

What are the benefits of Minimally Invasive Dentistry? According to DR. Tim Rainey, While everyone is reinventing themselves, it might be time to think about Minimally Invasive Preventive DentistryTM. I figured out how to stop at least 80% of all future decay in 1983 and have been sharing this with the rest of dentistry since 1985. Our procedures are so effective that we offer a Permanent, Professional Lifetime warranty on those restorations. A normal tooth occlusal surface will not decay if treated according to these principles.

play

09/05/24 • 55 min

We all want to grow old and be WELL! Growing old and becoming ill or infirmed is something people don’t believe will ever happen to them. Nursing homes and assisted living facilities are proliferating because of this mistaken belief. The first of this series on anti-aging will discuss the importance of Probiotics in Anti-aging. The human gut harbors a highly concentrated and diverse population of bacteria that can actually support or disfavor good health. Probiotics have been discovered to be a key factor in the anti-aging process. As your intestinal microbiome changes with aging, an imbalance in these microorganisms can lead to many age-related degenerative diseases and unhealthy aging. Abnormal shifts in the gut microbiome have been linked to age-related chronic diseases. Long-living people have a unique intestinal microbiome. We will discuss how to retard the aging process, slow it down and to help you grow old and be well.

Candidiasis is a form of fungal infection caused by Candida, a yeast. Everyone has Candida on their skin and in parts of their body like your mouth, throat, gut, and vagina.
