BUNDLES OF ENERGY

Electromagnetic and other energies are vital to more than technology. They're essential to life-and even healing. Rob Verkerk explores a range of frequency devices and the evidence their manufacturers do or don't disclose to back up their claims

You’ve heard news of a revolutionary frequencybased device with a list of diseases it can supposedly remedy that would make Pfizer’s R&D team leader quiver. You’ve read dozens of testimonials, and your head’s still spinning.

Some were from cancer patients, once classified as terminally ill, who’ve gone into “spontaneous remission.” Others came from people so ill they were permanently bed bound—until their frequency treatment got them walking again.

Your critical mind tells you this could mean one of only two things: the testimonials are from intensely satisfied people who experienced what many might typically classify as a miracle, or they’ve been fabricated by overzealous marketeers keen to make a buck.

More than this, some devices falling under the amorphous banner of “frequency medicine devices” have actually been found to cause harm. This has been most evident with electromagnetic field–based devices used occupationally by physiotherapy operators on a daily basis and for extended periods of time.

An incredibly diverse range of commercial devices is being used in medicine that rely on frequencies.

This gamut of devices emit electromagnetic energy that are often also able to measure the body’s own weak electromagnetic fields. They’re gaining more and more use in integrative or alternative medicine and are therefore the ones most likely to be encountered by proponents of natural health and wellness.
