Summary
Jack Butler, founder and CEO of Pulsed Harmonix, joins the Bee's Knees podcast to explain how pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy works and why it may benefit people dealing with knee pain, joint injuries, and post-surgical recovery. Butler describes how NASA research in the 1960s and 70s proved that humans cannot survive outside Earth's magnetic field, and how PEMF devices replicate these natural frequencies to stimulate stem cell activity by up to four times, speed recovery, and reduce inflammation.
The conversation focuses on practical applications for orthopedic patients, including those facing total knee replacements or recovering from ACL and other knee surgeries. Butler shares case studies including a world champion triathlete who re-entered competition 14 days after breaking her hand and wrist while using the device. He also discusses the concept of magnetic deficiency syndrome, noting that Earth's magnetic field has declined to roughly 5-10% of its historical average, and explains how the TruePulse A2000 device (available in both professional and home versions) uses 630 fine copper wires to deliver targeted electromagnetic pulses to specific body areas.
Key Points
- PEMF therapy replicates Earth's natural magnetic field frequencies to stimulate cellular healing and recovery
- NASA research proved electromagnetic fields stimulate stem cell production by up to four times
- Earth's magnetic field has declined to approximately 5-10% of historical levels, contributing to what's called magnetic deficiency syndrome
- The device produces a detoxification effect and can separate stuck blood cells (Rouleau effect) within 15-30 minutes
- Survey of 740+ devices in use showed 57% rated results as excellent and another 30% as good
- About 80% of people with pain or mobility issues report improvement in one or two sessions of 15-30 minutes
- PEMF is FDA-cleared for bone healing and is used by over 120 doctors
- The technology stimulates the body's own stem cell production rather than introducing external stem cells
Key Moments
NASA proved electromagnetic fields stimulate stem cells by four times
Jack Butler explains that NASA research proved Earth's magnetic field stimulates the basic building blocks of the body, stem cells, by up to four times, dramatically speeding recovery from injuries and diseases.
"It is the major source of the human body and all of nature's vitality. You literally can't live without it. And what NASA proved was that it also stimulated the basic building blocks of our bodies, the stem cells, by up to four times."
Earth's magnetic field has declined to 5-10% of historical levels
Butler describes the concept of magnetic deficiency syndrome, explaining that Earth's magnetic pulse has weakened to only 5-10% of its long-term historical average, with devastating effects on public health.
"of its long-term historical average, and this is having devastating effects on the health status of the general population. In fact, there's a term that's been coined called magnetic deficiency syndrome, which is easily identifying that the magnetic field has fallen to such a low level that"
World champion triathlete healed broken hand in 14 days with PEMF
Butler shares the story of a two-time world champion triathlete who broke her hand and wrist during an event in Colorado Springs but was able to re-enter and win the next competition just 14 days later using the PEMF device.
"She was able, inside of 14 days, to re-enter the next triathletic event, and she won it. She sent me a picture of herself holding the trophy over her head with a caption, thanks to the awesome healing power of pulsed harmonics."
80% of pain patients improve in just one or two PEMF sessions
Butler reports that approximately 80% of people presenting with pain or significant mobility issues are able to improve in just one or two sessions of 15 to 30 minutes, with some wheelchair-bound patients able to resume daily activities.
"In one or two sessions, 15, 30 minutes, maybe an hour, I've had many people get up from their wheelchair and say, now I can go shopping, I can resume my life. It doesn't mean that it's cured something. It's gone to the source of the pain itself."
