Episode notes
Poor Manufacturing and Measurement
- Many popular infrared multi-therapy PEMF mats come from a few manufacturers, mainly in China, often identical across brands.
- These manufacturers don't always know how to accurately measure or produce quality PEMF intensities, raising concerns about product reliability.
Inferior Coil Design Limits PEMF
- Most mats use ferro rod coils, which create a magnetic field that drops off very quickly and has poor coverage.
- These coils are cheap and generate fields that barely penetrate the body effectively during use.
Harmful EMF Emission Issues
- Some PEMF mats emit harmful 50 Hz dirty electricity fields similar to AC mains power, which causes biological stress and negates therapeutic effects.
- Others show poor signal cleanliness with electrical noise interfering, reducing their therapeutic value.
