QRS- pulsed magnetic field stimulation

HOW DOES THE QRS WORK?

The body is made up of all types of cells, each having their specialized functions.  Muscle cells conduct electricity and contract causing movement, nerve cells conduct electricity and transmit chemical messages to turn on adjacent cells, which could be thyroid cells to secrete hormone or liver cells to detoxify a chemical.  Because cells are all very unique, I’m going to talk about a generic average cell, which of course doesn’t exist.  But basically a cell has a membrane or an envelope surrounding it to hold its guts in.  When that membrane gets damaged, by eating  trans fatty acids, accumulating heavy metals or plasticizers, or having deficiencies of minerals or fatty acids like DHA, the cell membrane leaks.  This can cause body swelling (edema) or fluid retention.  If the leaking is really bad, the guts spill out and the cell dies.  Swelling or edema isn’t the only manifestation of damaged cell membranes.  Since the cell membrane houses all of the receptors for communication with every other cell in the body, it is like the Internet of the body.  Anything can go wrong once the communication system is damaged.

Because the cell membrane is constructed like a sandwich with fatty acids on either side and proteins in the middle, it also has an electrical charge across the inner and outer membranes.  The potential across the average cell membrane is -70 mV.  But once cell membranes become bogged down with chemical or nutrient deficiencies, the trans-membrane potential (the difference in electrical charge from the inside to the outside of the cell membrane) can swing the other way to as much as +30 mV.  This happens, for example, in pain syndromes, old age, swelling either from injury or inflammation, and the most disease states, including cancer.  Applying a pulsed magnetic field to a painful site can bring the membrane potential way down to a hyper-polarization level of better than normal, about -90 mV.  This makes it more difficult for a pain signal to be detected, and therefore, much less effective in causing pain.
