Our latest journal article on Bioelectromagnetics and its effective healing effects has been published in the American Journal of Biomedical Science and Research. Therapeutic use of electromagnetism has ancient roots and was first introduced into the US by Hahnemann just prior to 1800. In 1890 and subsequently, the American Electro-Therapeutic Association conducted annual conferences on the therapeutic use of electricity and electrical devices by physicians on ailing patients. Some involved current flow through the patient, while others were electrically powered devices…In 1898, the father of AC electricity, Nikola Tesla, published a paper that he read at the eighth annual meeting of the American Electro-Therapeutic Association in Buffalo, NY entitled, “High Frequency Oscillators for Electro-Therapeutic and Other Purposes” [2]. Tesla concluded correctly that bodily “tissues are condensers”, which today is the basic ingredient for an equivalent circuit only recently developed for the human body [3]. In fact, the relative “permittivity” for
tissue at any frequency exceeds most commercially available dielectrics on the market [4]. This unique property of the human body indicates an inherent adaptation and perhaps innate compatibility toward the presence of high voltage electric fields. This can be traced to the high “transmembrane potential” (the electrical voltage across every cell membrane) already present in cellular tissue, which is the distributed electrical storage battery throughout the human body.
