NASA began using Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy in the 1960s, to support the overall health and wellness of people working in space stations and engaging in other missions that remove them from the earth.
NASA began using PEMF primarily because it was identified and recognized that the loss of the earth’s natural electromagnetic pulses was detrimental to human health.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency therapy exposes the body to the same frequency as the earth’s electromagnetic energy—or frequencies similar to the earth’s—to mitigate the effects of leaving the earth’s atmosphere and losing electromagnetic compatibility for an extended period of time.
NASA was one of the organizations at the forefront of the PEMF research train, so to speak, as they were eager to identify a solution to the myriad issues that arose after astronauts left the earth.
NASA’s study of PEMF therapy proceeded widespread use of the technology for astronauts, and included a four-year study of tissues, evaluating their response to PEMF therapy.
Following the course of the four-year research study, NASA researchers found that virtually all bodily tissues improved after PEMF exposure, including cellular communication and overall function.
Consequently, NASA was among the first organizations to encourage the use of PEMF therapy as a means of improving and maintaining heath.
NASA’s use of PEMF therapy was intended to replace the earth’s natural electrical signature or energy, because being in space eliminated access to that frequency.
While most of us do not recognize the presence of the earth’s electrical signals and their ability to maintain or support health, the electrical signatures found in all living things play a role in how well the body functions and communicates intracellularly and intercellularly.
When exposure to the earth’s frequencies is lost, health suffers in the form of increased inflammation and the cascade of negative effects that come as a consequence of inflammation in the body.
PEMF therapy was introduced as a solution to the loss of earth’s frequency exposure, in order to help NASA worker’s bodies adapt and heal.
Astronauts were found to experience bone deterioration, depression, tissue damage, cardiovascular damage, and more after even short excursions into space, necessitating the development of a therapy to mimic earth’s EMFs.
While PEMF therapy had been developed prior to the 1960s, it was not until NASA began heavily investigating the technology and using that research to support the health and wellness of astronauts that a larger number of people began to express interest in PEMF therapy and the benefits it can provide.
Although plenty of media attention has been paid to bone density loss after astronauts have returned from their posts in orbit, NASA was interested in developing and utilizing technology that prevented issues before they arose, delivering therapeutic intervention to astronauts while they are still in space, rather than waiting until they return.
PEMF is the safest, simplest, and most effective way to do this, and NASA was quick to implement PEMF therapy when sufficient research has been conducted and encouraged the use of PEMF therapy for bone and tissue deterioration, depression, and other issues associated with leaving the earth’s atmosphere.
