Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
Q: What is the Bemer 3000?
A: The Bemer – Bio Electro Magnetic Energy Regulation – is pulsed electromagnetic energy device that provides microcirculation through the capillaries which allows your body to heal.
Q: How does the Bemer work?
A: The Bemer mat has 6 coils in it – two by the shoulder area, two in the vicinity of the abdomen, and two larger ones in the leg area. As the current runs inside the column of the mat, it creates an electromagnetic field all around the Bemer. This field extends about 18” above and below the mat and can permeate the solid material. The signal of the Bemer is indeed unique with a broad spectrum signal that is able to enter the cells of the body and resonate with them. Since all organs have a different vibrational frequency, the key is to have a signal that will reach as many cells as is possible. The complex signal of the Bemer is capable of influencing all the cells of the body simultaneously, and extremely valuable feat.
Q: What else is unique about the Bemer?
A: A most important feature of the Bemer is its ability to microcirculate the blood. This is such an important function in the body because tiny capillaries transport blood which delivers oxygen, hormones, nutrients and neurotransmitters to nourish the cells. At the same time toxins and waste along with CO2 are eliminated. It’s a vast system that if laid out would amount to the area of two football fields. In order to fit into the tiny capillaries, red blood cells must be “declumped”, and if they don’t have enough energy to maintain the proper membrane voltage, they won’t be able to do this. However, once the cells receive the oxygen they need, they know how to repair themselves. Open communication now takes place between the cells and nutrient can be absorbed from food once again. The cells gain new life and energy comes back to the body. This allows the previously dysfunctional body to become a fully functional one.
Q: What is it that NASA learned about the earth’s electromagnetic field?
A: In the 1950’s when astronauts were first sent into space, NASA found that upon re-entry to earth the astronauts were disoriented after only 24 hours, their nervous systems were compromised and they had advanced cases of osteoporosis. NASA learned that the cause of their problem was that they were out of the range of the earth’s electromagnetic field, proving the critical importance of this field for proper functioning and survival of our bodies.
Q: Why do I feel that tingling in my arms and legs during and/or after the session?
A: The Bemer 3000 transmits very gentle pulsed electro magnetic field waves that stimulate our blood circulation like a workout. We all have experienced an arm or leg “going to sleep” when the blood circulation has been inhibited for a few minutes, due to a certain way of sitting, or when we sleep with our arm underneath our weight . When they begin to “wake up” we feel the same tingling. It often feels slightly uncomfortable but subsides quickly. When certain parts of our body do not receive proper blood circulation due to various unwanted conditions or scar tissue, there may be a tingling sensation as the circulation begins to improve. For many of us it is a blessing to be able to reactivate inactive blood circulation to those parts of our body that suffer with poor circulation.
Q: Why do I feel as if I worked out or ran?
A: We are naturally built to be physically active in order to maintain our fitness. Fitness means better health. When we are fit, all our vital organs function appropriately and enable balanced vitality, good metabolism, good oxygen absorption and a strong immune system. The Bemer stimulates all those functions through the pulsed electromagnetic field remittance, and our body can respond with enhanced blood circulation. This enriches our blood with oxygen that is transported to every part of our body. This is also the purpose of a good workout.
Q: What do you mean when you compare the Bemer application to a good work out?
A: The stimulation of the blood circulation leads to a much better oxygen supply to the various internal organs. The internal organs can then regenerate, restore and improve their functions as well as return to synchronicity with each other. That in turn leads to the better feeling we enjoy by a good work out, and a better metabolism that helps us maintain good fitness and health. Like the workout, the Bemer helps to get our system going even with unwise choices of nutrition, many hours in the office, stress, weight gain, anger, smoking etc. The Bemer allows you a workout without the huffing and puffing in a very relaxing application. Once you try it and feel the results, you will understand why it can claim to be a fitness device.
Q: Why don’t I feel anything after the session?
A: We all are individual entities and each one of us responds differently to every stimulation life presents to us. There are just two possible reasons for feeling absolutely nothing with the use of the Bemer at the beginning of the applications: One - if the device is not plugged in properly and does not work: Two - when our body is run down and very unhealthy. In many cases our internal functions must first be stimulated enough to be able to respond so it may take a little longer time to really feel the results. Yet if we do not get discouraged too soon, we will surely enjoy the marvelous results of the pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation and find improved fitness and well-being do prevail.
Q: Why am I tired sometimes after I use the Bemer?
A: As mentioned before, the stimulation of the Bemer application enhances our blood circulation like a good work out, and therefore improves the oxygenation in our body. Sleep is also enabled by better oxygen supply and utilization in our body. Chinese medicine says: “Sleep cleans and enriches the blood”. There is a reason for the need to sleep, and without it and proper oxygenation, our body cannot build and maintain good health or a functioning immune system. By using the Bemer, the body experiences improved circulation, so that the oxygen absorption is significantly improved. This creates a very relaxed sensation. However, if we are over-stressed in our daily life or experiencing a great deal of pain, the enhanced blood circulation can supply more oxygen to all our body parts and functions, as well as transfer the toxic debris out of the body. This is what we refer to when we say the “stimulation of the self healing mechanism”. The healing process is a natural process that uses a lot of energy and can make us tired at first.
Q: Why is it necessary to drink more water when applying the Bemer?
A: Our blood is used for the transportation of nutrients to every part of our body, and is also the transporter of the toxins to the organs which eliminate them from the body. This is the metabolism process. The blood consists of 95% water so we must provide our body with plenty of water. It helps to flow the good in and flush the bad out.
Q: How long has the Bemer been on the market?
A: The Bemer has been on the market for over 10 years in over 42 countries. In many countries it has already received approval for usage as a medical device in hospitals and clinics, but in the USA it is only approved as a wellness and fitness device. However, the process has begun for FDA approval as a medical device here in the USA.
Q: Why is the Bemer not considered a medical device?
A: The purpose of a medical device is to address health problems and is expected to provide a cure. The Bemer 3000 cannot claim that since it does not provide any curing service. It is known that children who play and get exercise can better maintain good health, a good state of mind, develop healthy bones, have a well functioning metabolism, and grow up healthy and balanced. Many children nowadays spend too much time sitting in front of computers and TV’s, and weaken their immune system. Riding a bicycle daily or at least frequently can keep your heart, blood circulation, fitness and well-being stronger. Is it prescribed as a medical device? Of course not. The same is true with the Bemer. The Bemer does not attempt to “heal” or “cure” anything. Yet with daily or frequent use, there are many benefits for our health as it stimulates our own self-healing mechanism. It is simply a fitness and wellness device, not a medical device.
Q: Why do we need the Bemer now more than in the past?
A: In the past people had to walk everywhere. People grew their own food and had to prepare it when they wanted to eat. Now we live in a fully automated age. It saves us a lot of time which frees us to do other things, but the other things often become sedentary choices: sitting in front of a TV and/or computer, riding in a car, and eating highly processed food with little nutritional value. Our nutrition changed from fresh from the garden to chemically engineered and food loaded with preservatives and harmful substances. This lifestyle creates a dire need for the Bemer in order to help our body rebalance our vital functions by proper activation and proper metabolism. It helps the body to replace the vitally necessary nutrients and functions while it expels the harmful toxins. This is the secret for creating a healthier generation to come.
Q: How does the Bemer assist energy healers?
A: An energy healer is a conduit for the magnetic field of the earth and has great implications for health. Using it can dramatically increase energy levels, help you feel stronger, more powerful and more effective as a healer.
Q: Why can our bones benefit from the Bemer?
A: Small children grow healthy bones by running, playing, jumping, climbing and enjoying many outdoor activities. Today, we find many children omitting these activities in their life which predisposes them to weak bones. Adults often sit at desks, ride in cars and do very little movement, so their bones suffer. In addition, the lack of resistance, high sugar nutrition, too much salt and preservatives in food, carbonated and caffeine loaded beverages with little water consumption, and no bouncing motion on a daily basis, we lose our bone density which allows for more fractions and breaks, especially as we age. The Bemer creates the closest imitation of the bouncing element so vital for our bones, as well as the blood circulation stimulus. This is a very supportive combination for healthier bones, hair and nails.
Q: What do you experience with PEMD?
A: This technology of the PEMD (Pulsed Electric Magnetic Device) has undergone many scientific clinical trials worldwide. Tens of thousands of people have been treated successfully. Of the treated individuals, a very high success rate is reported, creating a dramatic improvement in their quality of life.
Q: What causes pain in joints?
A: Between our bones are cushions of cartilage which prevent grinding of the bones. When the layers of cartilage wear out, the bones begin to grind against each other, causing extreme pain. Under normal circumstances the body replaces cartilage under control of tiny electrical signals. These electrical signals are created inside our body. Due to diseases like osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, aging or injury, the normal replacement of cartilage is disturbed, causing pain and inflammation.
Q: How does PEMD reduce pain in joints?
A: Pulsating electromagnetic fields influence cell behavior by inducing electrical changes around and within the cell. Improved blood supply increases the oxygen pressure, activating and regenerating cells. Increased calcium transport stimulates the repair and growth of cartilage while at the same time decreasing pain dramatically.
Q: How does PEMD relieve back pain?
A: PEMD has proven to be very effective for osteoporosis treatment. Due to improved blood supply oxygen levels increase, activating and regenerating cells. This results in improved calcium transport and better absorption of calcium in the bones and simultaneously decreases pain dramatically. In addition to the increase of bone density, results show improvement in fracture healing and less risk of breaking bones.
Q: Why do osteoporosis patients often have back pain?
A: Due to ‘brittle’ bones, osteoporosis patients often suffer from very painful micro-fractures in the vertebrae of the spine. After a few weeks of Bemer treatments, a high level of pain relief is obtained by closing of these micro-fractures.
Q: Will bone density increase?
A: A study at the Pacific Health Research Institute in Honolulu was designed to provide concrete data on the restoration of bone mass in post-menopausal females. Bone density rose with an average of 5.6%. At the university of Graz in Austria a similar study clearly showed an increase in bone density after one year of around 6%. These results make all the difference in the functioning of a healthy body by reducing any suffering or the risk for spontaneous fractures. The proportionate increase in fracture risk is directly related to decreased bone density.
Q: How can it assist in bone non-union and fracture healing?
A: PEMD has been proven to be very effective for healing of delayed bone non-union and for improved fracture healing. It has shown to be beneficial in the case of problematic fractures and fractures with a large gap. Treatment can also be performed in a case where there are implants at the site.
Q: What about sports injuries?
A: Clearly we have seen a dramatic reduction in pain and inflammation in the treatment for sports injuries. Swelling is reduced quickly and PEMD stimulates the body to repair damaged tissue while it speeds up the healing process.
Q: What about wound healing & varicose veins?
A: Pulsing electromagnetic fields improve peripheral circulation and oxygenation. This causes better transport of nutrients and improves wound healing. In women with varicose veins fast pain relief is obtained and there is much less fatigue of the legs.
Q: How long is a typical session?
A: The main session is just 8 minutes! Lengths of the programs are between 8 and 20 minutes. After the session is finished the energy is automatically switched off and the system goes in “stand-by” mode like with your TV.
Q: What are the side effects?
A: There are no side effects. Sometimes the patient might feel some tingling due to improved circulation but this is no contraindication. Some people have a nice warm and comfortable feeling during the therapy session.
Q: How is the system beneficial for Health & Fitness?
A: The controls of the Bemer computer allow for the parameter settings with lower energy levels which contribute to optimal energy regulation and natural health enhancing effects. Normalization of membrane potential and improved metabolism is obtained by supplying the cells with the optimum amount of energy which contributes to general fitness and strength. Protein synthesis is increased by improved regeneration and the disposal of waste materials is stimulated while the natural immune system is activated. The overall energy level improves, health is stabilized and fitness increases. It is an ideal way to maintain your own good health!
Q: What is the difference between regular magnets and PEMD?
A: Our body’s natural magnetic field is created by the flow of electrically charged ions in and out of cells and the transmission of electric impulses through cell membranes. Only PEMD can influence on a cellular level, not static magnets. The magnetic strength value of static magnets is not relevant at all since static magnets cannot create any electrical induction without being mechanically moved the whole time!
Q: What is Electromagnetism?
A: The interaction of electrical and magnetic effect is known as electromagnetism. Electromagnetism is one of the most important concepts in physical science. An electromagnet consists of a piece of soft iron with electrical wire wrapped around it. When an electric current flows through the wire, it produces a magnetic field around the wire and the iron is magnetized. The greater the current, the stronger the magnetic field. By coiling up the wire many times, the magnetic field produced can be made even stronger.
Q: What has Lorenz force to do with PEMD?
A: Electrical current in a coil causes a magnetic field. The magnetic field curls around electrical wire in which the current flows. Electricity and magnetism are interrelated in many ways. They are manifestations of the same fundamental physical concepts. Maxwell equations show the relation between the electricity and magnetism. The combined effects of electrical and magnetic fields are called Lorenz force. As a result of induced Lorenz force pulsing, electromagnetism will produce electricity in cells. This is the basis for Pulsing Electromagnetic Field Therapy.
Q: Electricity within the human body?
A: It is long been known that there is electricity in our bodies: electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG) and Electromyogram (EMG). In 1956 the piezoelectric effect in bones was discovered by Fukada and Yasuda; a physicist and an orthopedic surgeon in Japan. The combined effects of electric and magnetic force explain that pulsing electromagnetic fields induce electrical changes on a cellular level within the body, and cell metabolism is influenced.
Q: Does the PEMD influence oxygen levels within cells?
A: This can only be accomplished when the pulsing electromagnetic fields penetrate sufficiently deep within the human body. The electrical influence and increase of the membrane cell potential causes an increase in oxygenation, which in turn increases the supply of nutrients. This results in elimination of waste products from the cells, causing cell detoxification.
Q: Why is the FDA so strongly against this kind of therapy?
A: FDA requires much proof and many testimonials to approve of any natural procedures or devices, and it does seem to take time for verification of the positive effects. In addition, the FDA is not as interested in alternative, natural therapies or preventative medicine as we would like. The Bemer 3000 is in the process of receiving FDA approval here in the USA, but it has already received approval in the European equivalent.
Q: Does the PEMD penetrate the whole body?
A: Absolutely. The combination of the generated energy level and the speed of change of the pulses guarantee full body penetration, under the condition that the minimum amount of energy generated is also sufficient.
Q: Can I actually feel the electromagnetic pulses?
A: Yes. Many individuals feel tingling or a slight buzzing feeling as the electromagnetic energy pulses through their body. You may feel it in your fingertips or feet, or feel sensations in various places throughout your body.
Q: What about the range of pulsing frequencies?
A: The available pulsing frequencies of the Bemer cover a wide range in order to have available the best therapeutic possibilities for the various different applications. For treatment of diseases there are specific programs and intensity levels that are best suited for stimulating the healing process for that disease.
Q: What about using a fixed pulsing frequency?
A: When sitting in a plane we experience noise made by the motors of the plane. After a short while we hardly notice this noise anymore. This is due to the ability of our body to adapt to surrounding disturbances and thus canceling out this noise. The same holds true for magnetic fields when they pulse at the same frequency and intensity. These pulses are a disturbance for the body and it will adapt to this pulsing frequency after just a few minutes and the effect will become non-effective. By automatically changing the pulsing frequencies throughout the session this adaptation effect is avoided and effective therapy is thus obtained for the whole therapy session.
Q: Why do I need more than one program?
A: Each of us are unique with unique differences. This means that it is impossible to know in advance if the same treatment parameters will work for all people the same way. In order to be sure that we will get the best possible effects for each person, we need different program possibilities.
Q: What can I expect?
A: There are hundreds of studies with a wide variety of applications of pulsing electromagnetic fields. Many studies confirm that if some basic rules are being observed with respect to the applied therapy parameters and the use of correct equipment, the benefits for the patient are substantial. Overall success rate for this form of therapy varies between 50 to 80 %.
Q: How do I know that more oxygen is distributed through my body?
A: Evaluation has been done by means of Thermographs (measuring the heat coming from a body made by means of infrared technology). We can clearly see the differences between a temperature scan before and after a Bemer treatment. The differences in color distribution clearly show an increased perfusion and thus increase of oxygen supply.
Q: What kind of disorders or diseases does the Bemer help?
A: The Bemer helps the body heal itself by providing sufficient microcirculation to the capillaries so they can take the necessary nutrients, blood, oxygen and neurotransmitters to the cells where all life is. In addition, the capillaries are then able to release toxic waste so they can be eliminated from the cells and thus the body.
