Science Behind The FlexPulse System
The FlexPulseTM electromagnetic
therapy system is designed using
modern Neuroscience and Electromagnetic
concepts to provide a
variety of mostly individual frequencies
to accomplish different
stimulation goals, most typically
based on understanding brainwave
frequency patterns. A major emphasis
and benefit from using Flex-
Pulse programs is for neural or
brain stimulation. This is done
through a process we have come to
call Audio Magnetic Entrainment
(AME). At the same time, these
pulsed electro magnetic field
(PEMF) frequencies provide all the
other benefits of any other PEMF
systems, in terms of healing, energy
enhancement and rebalancing
physiologic tuning and pain reduction.
Each of the programs is numbered
P and then the program number. P1
is 10 Hz, P2 is 10/100 Hz – alternating
every minute, P3 is 3 Hz,
P4 is 7.8 Hz (the Schumann resonance),
P5 is 23 Hz, and P6 is
1000 Hz. Hz (Hertz) is the common
technical term that describes
the pulses per second, also called
the pulse rate.
Any program or frequency chosen
for treatment will have the usually
expected basic PEMF biologic actions
of any PEMF signal, as well
as the actions on the nervous system
based on the brainwave frequency
band used. All of the frequencies
in the FlexPulse will
have similar basic biologic actions,
and some unique biologic effects
specific to that frequency. Most of
the time the frequencies will be
chosen by a user based on the expected
effects on the particular
brainwave frequency band, expecting
that the biologic effects on the
rest of the body will otherwise
take care of themselves.
The frequencies in the FlexPulse
have been primarily,
but not
exclusively, selected based on
their effects on the brainwave frequency
bands through a process
called brainwave entrainment.
Brainwave entrainment is nothing
new. Ancient ceremonial chambers
were acoustically tuned to specific
brainwave frequencies have
been found dating back to the
Bronze Age, and the ancient
Greeks used flickering sunlight
shining through a spinning wheel
to induce altered states. Since the
1970’s, a wealth of brainwave entrainment
techniques have been
developed using computer encoded
audio beats, strobe lights, or
low-energy electromagnetic fields.
Brainwave entrainment has been
well studied scientifically. One of
the earliest descriptions of this was
found from scientific research into
the effects of rhythmic light and
sound stimulation
