Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, June, 2003 by Jule Klotter
Since its founding in 1998, the National Foundation for Alternative Medicine (NFAIVI) has sought to identify effective CAM treatments for cancer and other degenerative diseases. In visiting clinics throughout the world, NFAM investigators became interested in the energy-based, frequency therapies used at some facilities. These frequency therapies, unlike metallic magnets (which produce a static magnetic field), emit electromagnetic frequencies and induce electrical current flow.
In Technical Review and Research Proposal on Cancer Electromagnetic Frequency Therapy (EMT), Mark J. Neveu, PhD and Richard Blanco explain how electromagnetic frequencies underlie all chemical and mechanical reactions in the body: "Every event in the body, either normal or pathological, produces change in both electrical and magnetic fields." Applying a frequency that resonates with specific tissues helps the tissue regain coherence and heal: "Studies show that nerve regeneration is stimulated at 2 Hz, bone growth at 7 Hz, ligament healing at 10 Hz, stimulation of capillaries and fibroblasts at 15, 20, 72 Hz." Electromagnetic frequencies have also reduced pain and swelling.
In clinics outside the United States, non-invasive electromagnetic therapy (EMT) devices are also being used to treat cancer patients. Mark Neveu and Richard Blanco explain, "An assembly of cells, as in a tissue or organ, will have certain collective frequencies that regulate important processes, such as cell division. Normally, these frequencies will be very stable. If, for some reason, a cell shifts its frequency, entraining signals from neighboring cells will tend to reinstall the correct frequency However, if a sufficient number of cells get out-of-step, the strength of the system's collective vibrations can decrease to a point where stability is lost." EMT devices provide specific low frequencies that encourage a return to coherence and homeostasis. Published studies have shown that EMT can induce apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cell cultures and animal tumors. EMT has also been shown to promote lymphocyte, B cell, and NK cell activity, enhancing the immune system.
NFAM plans to visit some of the clinics that use EMT devices and examine cancer patient records. They intend to provide funding for Phase II clinical trials at the clinics "with the most compelling patient responses" to EMT in order to validate its effectiveness.
