PEMF helps pain, inflammation and injury

Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Tue, Jun 06, 2023

Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) have been used in almost every conceivable human illness or malady, including many inflammatory diseases such as arthritis or psoriasis.

PEMF therapy has been associated with pain reduction, and accelerated healing. PEMFs exert these effects by regulating processes involving inflammation and autoimmune diseases, among other biologic actions.

Why Acid-Alkaline Balance is Important for Vibrant Health

Posted by Dr. Evelin Valdez, ND on Wed, May 17, 2023

Acid-Alkaline Balance

What is the alkaline-acid balance in our body?  In a nutshell, it is the balance between base (alkaline) substances and acidic substances in the body. There are many substances the body uses to build, repair, and function; these are amino acids, enzymes, sugars, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Each of them has a specific function, however, each substance is either an acid or a base (alkaline).  Acids and alkaline have opposing yet complementary characteristics, and the body needs both to function properly.  When acids and alkaline substances are present in balanced quantities, then the body is considered to be in Acid-Alkaline Balance, also referred to as Homeostasis.

 Healthy and Unhealthy pH Levels

Our body is designed to function optimally when our internal bio-chemical environment measures 7.39 pH.  The range for this optimum is very small from a more acidic environment of 7.36 pH to a more alkaline environment of 7.42 pH.   If the body’s internal environment is anywhere between 7 and 7.36 pH, the body is considered to be in a state of acidosis.  If the body’s internal environment is anywhere between 7.42 and 7.8 pH, the body is considered to be in a state of alkalosis. If the body gets into a state in which these limits are exceeded, it can no longer function and death will result. Our blood pH is kept in a range of 7.35 to 7.45. The body acid-base balancing procedures will do whatever they need to to keep the blood pH in this tight range.

How PEMF Helps Bone Health in a Natural Way

Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Mon, May 08, 2023

What is PEMF

PEMF therapy, also known as Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy, or Cellular Exercise, is a non-invasive form of therapy that uses electromagnetic fields to promote healing in the body. PEMF therapy has been shown to have several benefits for bone health. In this article, we will discuss the ways in which PEMF therapy can benefit bone health and improve bone density.

Promotes bone growth and regeneration

PEMF therapy has been shown to promote bone growth and regeneration by stimulating bone cells known as osteoblasts. These cells are responsible for the formation of new bone tissue. PEMF therapy has been shown to increase the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts, which can lead to the formation of new bone tissue.

Electromagnetic Fields in the Human Body

Posted by Dr. Evelin Valdez, ND on Sun, Apr 30, 2023

What do electromagnetic fields and waves have to do with the human body? 

The human body generates electricity that flows through it. The human body also has its own magnetic fields.  The human heart produces an electric current that runs through the body and to every cell. This electric current in the body generates an electromagnetic field.Because the human body, and every living organism on this planet, is an electrical body all made up of charged particles, it is also subject to the laws of electromagnetism.  The body’s bio-electromagnetic fields are very low in intensity (amplitude/power) but can be measured using devices like MEG (magnetoencephalography) and MCG (Magnetocardiography). 

Every function of the human body relies on some type of signal transmission – from the immune system, to regeneration of cells, waste removal, healing, nerve function, immune function, to circulation and everything in between.  And it all starts on the cellular level. Every cell innately knows its purpose and function and how to do it.

In order for the body to function at all, these signal transmissions must be clear and strong enough so the message gets to where it needs to go and can be understood by the receiving end.  If there is any kind of interference in that electrical circuitry the message won’t make it or isn’t strong enough or too strong to effect the intended cellular reaction.

Posted by Dr. Evelin Valdez, ND on Thu, Apr 13, 2023

Cleanse AND DETOX PART 2

Its officially Spring and traditionally spring has bee one of the cleansing seasons, to let's continue the conversation of cleansing and doing a detox...

If you missed part one, you can find it at this link.

Let's take look at our toxic burden (the number of accumulated poisons like heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, herbicides, fluoride, chlorine, preservatives, and xenoestrogens in our tissue). 

There are many protocols and approaches to cleansing and detoxifying our bodies.  You might wonder which one is the best cleanse or the best detox….Should I use herbs? What about Saunas? Juice Fast? Water Fast? Epsom Salt Baths?  Intermittent Fasting? Coffee enemas?  Colonics?  Lymphatic Drainage? 

These are all great ideas to complement any cleansing and detoxification efforts. That being said, let us look at the main external culprits of toxicity in the body – food and personal care products.

Why Should We Do a Body Cleanse?

Posted by Dr. Evelin Valdez, ND on Tue, Mar 21, 2023

Cleanses for Health

Its officially Spring and Spring is a great time to cleanse our bodies of toxins and parasites.  If  you think that does not apply to you, think again!  We are exposed to toxins and parasites every day, and almost all day long.

We encounter bacteria, viruses and other microscopic critters that jump on every opportunity to take up residence in a willing host.  In winter we move a lot less and so our lymphatic system is removing less toxins and waste products. We deep clean our cars, clothes, and houses all the time, however we don’t always think of deep cleaning our tissues and organs.
