Ontogenesis under the effects of teratogens as stress factors (2003)

Pre-treatment with repeated use of BEMER 3000 signals reduces the embryotoxic effect of cyclophosphamide. To assess toxicity and debated protective effects by suitable electromagnetic fields (Paflowka, cited in 5), especially in ontogenesis, Jelinek and Blaha—Charles University, Prague—studied the influence of BEMER-typical pulsed electromagnetic fields on the development of chick embryos, as representative of warmblooded vertebrates.

 

For a decade it has been known that brief, weak, low-frequency electromagnetic fields have a protective effect on chick embryos with respect to exposure to ultraviolet light, x-irradiation, and the traumatic reactions of different chemical teratogens.

The causes for this protective effects were attributed by Lin et al. (cited at 5) to the expression of a heat shock protein (heat shock protein 70). In this context, Jelinek and Blaha developed an experimental process for studying the Bemer 3000 electromagnetic field therapy.

 

The process developed was shown to be suitable for the purpose of studying the effect of the Bemer 3000 pulses on organisms that are in the development stage. 

In the tests done, there was no negative effect on the embryos in a highly-sensitive developmental stage. 

The Bemer 3000 electromagnetic field therapy does not result in an increase in the damaging effect of cyclophosphamide (a known teratogen with embryonic effects) but, in contrast, reduces the injurious effect itself with slightly supra-threshold teratogenic doses after BEMER 3000 treatment.

 

Based on these findings at least some of the positive effects of the Bemer 3000 therapy could be based on the induction of heat shock proteins or stress proteins, as they are referred to today. The last-mentioned statements imply that the Bemer 3000 magnetic field therapy to a normal healthy organism does not harm but, on the other hand, however, improves the function of an exhausted, highly stressed or sick tissue, – an experience that is covered by the results of the utilisation operations with respect to BEMER 3000 electromagnetic therapy.
