Can Electromagnetic Fields Treat Type 2 Diabetes?

10/15/2020 8:57 PM

This is rather strange. It's been reported that mice bred to be diabetic can be treated with a static electric and magnetic field to control blood sugar. It requires both a static magnetic and static electric field, and the effect seems to be related to an antioxidant in the liver called superoxide dismutase.

"The discovery came about by chance. Sunny Huang, an M.D.-Ph.D. student at the University of Iowa (UI) Carver College of Medicine and the co-lead author of the study, needed access to mice to practice taking their blood and measuring their blood sugar levels.

Dr. Calvin Carter, a postdoctoral researcher in the same lab, let Huang borrow the mice that he was using in an experiment on how electromagnetic fields affect the brains of the animals.

According to Huang: “It was really odd because normally these animals have high blood sugar and type 2 diabetes, but all of the animals exposed to [electromagnetic fields] showed normal blood sugar levels. I told Calvin, ‘There’s something weird going on here.'”

Interesting observation but not necessarily useful.

The electric and magnetic fields being present could be upsetting some intermediate system that inhibits the carbohydrate digestion rather than actually treating the blood sugar levels. While there would seem to be some relationship, that doesn't mean that it's cause-and-effect are directly linked. PLUS we haven't been reported the effect of the EM radiation on the brain and other organs (quality of life) or the incidence of cancer and such induced by the treatment (length of life).

What was the result for the non-exposed reference group in the experiment? Did they also have low blood sugars? This would imply the experimental diet was the cause rather than the treatment.

I've been on a keto diet for several months. It's been very effective for carb control and the food is much tastier than magnetic and electric fields.

Oh really? What flavors do magnetic and electric fields have? Somehow, I would expect an acid flavor, and I like acid foods in general.

Ozone-ic? Like being in the presence of atmospheric ions created by a heavy electric field. With maybe a tinge of charcoal-ic? Like from a lightning strike on a tree.

I dunno. At my age my palate is not as discerning as it used to be. Sorry to not be more precise.

I've found that photons don't have any taste, but quarks and leptons do have flavors...

For what ever reason we are just touching on frequencies as related to health, some good research was done by one Royal Rife especially when he was treating to rid the body of TB and Cancer. I have had some very positive experience with this form of treatment using a frequency generator called SPOOKY 2. Check it out.

Been in R&D for a few decades, but not direct medical R&D, and have been generating theories about the body's reaction to its electromagnetic environment. My recent (slow learner here) epiphany is the iron in blood should be impacted by the magnetic fields around it. Seems like a lot more research should be going on in this area, or it is and I haven't heard about it.

Interesting topic for me.

Iron is attracted to a magnet (ferromagnetism) due to the unpaired electrons. In general, these electrons are shared in chemical compounds and no longer unpaired, so the iron in hemoglobin is hardly affected by magnetic fields. (Some folks believe that magnetic bracelets have an effect due to the iron in blood.)

"The fact that blood contains iron is one of the reasons why some people believe magnetic bracelets might have an effect on the human body. However, blood is not magnetic in a conventional sense. In other words, it is not ferromagnetic which is what most people understand as magnetism.

If blood was ferromagnetic, then people would bleed to death or explode in MRI scanners which produce much stronger magnetic forces than those of magnetic bracelets.

So, although deoxygenated haemoglobin is paramagnetic and very slightly attracted to a magnet, and also both oxygenated haemoglobin and plasma are diamagnetic or in other words, slightly repelled by a magnet, in theory, wearing a magnetic bracelet shouldn't have a physiological effect."

The use of magnets goes back centuries as recorded by the Greeks when they found that placing a piece of magnetite on a wound or broken bone increased the rate of healing and they had no scientific data to prove it just that it worked time and again.

In my health coaching I was taught the use of magnets and we never thought of the hemoglobin as part of the equation but the polarity appears to be important to the degree that we place the NORTH POLE TOWARDS THE BODY. It appears (not tested) by science that if the polarity of the body is enhanced then the body heals and the immune system is empowered.

If a person has pain placing the N Pole on the pain for some reason the pain disappears. This phenomena I have seen literally hundreds of times and if there is an obvious wound causing this trauma the healing takes place so quickly it is astounding.

Inn the magnet practice we also set a glass on drinking water on top of the N Side for .5-1.0 Hr to polarize the water ( not magnetize) then drinking the water helps the body to maintain the healing polarity.

The most interesting feat is placing the magnet on the location of a cancer N side to body and for some reason the cancer usually either disappears or growth is impaired. To me I would like to know how this works but to the cancer victim they could care less as being rid of a cancer is all they want to know.

Bottom line this voodoo practices should be studied but since there is no immediate profit from this form of therapy I for one doubt if there will ever be any $$ assigned to this research.

Interesting!! Back in the '80's I worked in a cardiovascular research lab. One tool that I used almost daily as the technician was a diagnostic sensor that measured thorasic impedance to detect and measure the instantaneous blood flow form the heart into the aorta based on the haemoglobin content of the blood, or that's what the theory was from the professors and such.

The set-up was simple. Two conductive tapes, 50mm apart around the neck and another two at 50mm apart around the lower chest. Measuring the impedance between the sets of electrodes provides very good and repeatable results.

Apparently before I started with the lab, they had already done correlation testing an concept calibration with some lab set-up using donated blood and other products. One beauty of this test was that unlike an ECG showing the electrical input to the heart muscle, it actually monitored the resulting flow from the heart on each pulse in an analogue signal.

The professor ran a weekly lab where he screened potential candidates for transplants or other treatments, noting that untrasound technology was nowhere near as readily available as now.

I've never heard of that method being used since that lab.

Welcome to CR4.

I did a search (DuckDuckGo) for "energy emission systems", and saw nothing related to Type 2 Diabetes or blood flow. Can you provide a link?

to be specific electromagnetic field’s needs to be defined there are variables to be considered such as mw/cm, nm, and retention time and detection frequency’s just to start plus a little particle physics
