This unique invention, developed at an all-volunteer, nonprofit research institute, is a great medical breakthrough.

We are proud to offer a two-page summary of NASA's latest research into a "Noninvasive Therapy for Cartilage Regeneration" which is a welcome solution to a problem many athletes and seniors experience in their lifetime. It is "a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) device that can alleviate cartilage degradation in synovial joints by promoting the growth of new cartilage." The relation to our IRI Bioenergetics Program is the low frequency magnetic pulse they used with a high "slew rate" or risetime of the pulse. This criteria is exactly what Dr. Gordon's protocol specifies at a 7.8 Hz Schumann resonant pulse rate with a nanosecond  slew rate (risetime) found in our EM Pulser 78, OsteoPad, MaxiMat, Minimat and PulsePad.  SEE NASA ARTICLE HERE.

The invention comes from the patented, medical and clinical research into electrotherapy, electroceuticals, sports performance biomagnetics, bioelectromagnetics, sports enhancement and electromedicine. Particularly, this product involves the novel implementation of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) for those suffering from osteoarthritis, osteopenia or osteoporosis. The principle was discovered decades ago but has never been widely distributed for the benefit of the public until now.

 

We use a special "SpiralToroid" magnetic field design with a toroid formed from an opposing pair of pancake coils in a special,  FlexiCircuit TM which is soft and pliable, inside a waterproof vinyl sleeve, each pair together generates a toroidal (donut-shape) magnetic field that circulates about six inches above the pad to bath the body area with healing Slew Rate (nanosecond rising time) of 250 Hz pulses (1% duty cycle) of gentle magnetic energy (milligauss range alternating, very narrow pulses), as diagrammed below.

This amazing pad with handmade, built-in pancake coils comprises the specific, patented signal for resonating with the bone calcium channels to open them for transport across the cell membrane, thus simulating the performance of weight-bearing exercise (as if you are lifting weights while you sleep). Originally patented by three medical doctors Robert Becker (author of 'The Body Electric'), Andrew Bassett, and Arthur Pilla knew their invention would prevent and reverse fractures, osteoporosis, and even arthritis, from clinical trials and numerous journal articles, so much so that they received patents on their similar magnetic coil circuit designs. However, they didn't make any device for the public and the FDA only approved bone-strengthening devices for use by doctors in the 1990s and 2000s. Dr. Valone studied their work for years, conversed with Drs. Becker and Pilla personally, and created the consumer electrotherapy unit which should have been on the market years ago. Then, a meeting with Glen Gordon, MD was the catalyst for designing this product since his EM Pulser signal is very universally beneficial and he used the same circuit in a pad in his own bed! We talked about making one available commercially but he could not find a reasonably priced method for making what we then agreed should be called "The OsteoPad". Ten years later, we have fulfilled his dream after his passing. It is easy to use, with a flat pancake magnetic coil in a pad connected to the simple Control Box which can be set on the nightstand for all-night treatments. This product is reasonably priced and will help many senior people since "1 out of every 2 people" in the US suffers or will suffer from bone loss as they age, which is called osteoporosis since the bones become porous without weight-bearing exercise to stimulate the piezoelectric bone to open calcium channels naturally. Presently, 20 million Americans suffer from osteoarthritis as well. Recent research has shown that cartilage is also piezoelectric and that pulsed EMFs, like the OsteoPad signal, can stimulate and restore cartilage ("chondroprotection and chondrogenesis"), as well as reverse osteoarthritis. The OsteoPad signal does the work for you and lets your bones and cartilage to absorb calcium and magnesium directly, while you sleep! We also have introduced two new models :the "MaxiMat" which give a full body coverage since the MaxiMat is five (5) feet long and one (1) foot wide and the Maximat Double, same as above but with two (5) feet long pads. Inside the  soft cover is the protective foam layer sealing the dual spiral coils in place, which form a donut-shaped toroidal magnetic field, with significant flexibility between them and additional soft, high density foam layers so it can be comfortably used under the mattress cover of your bed. An additional, very durable, moisture-proof vinyl sleeve is also available for no extra cost for those elderly people who may be incontinent.

Here is the electrosensor meter that can be used to measure the fields all these products produce.
