ABSTRACT

We review magnetism´s influence on human beings, as well as it´s physical properties, mechanisms of action and physiological effects on the organism. We present a new structural cellular model, forming conducting microcircuits through which electrons flow; these are assumed to be responsible for cellular and organ interactions and for biochemical processes and nerve conduction. We comment on the electromagnetic diagnostic and therapeutic devices which are used in medicine and the potential for growth in this area. We introduce Ondamed, a diagnostic and therapeutic equipment that relies on pulsed electromagnetic fields, which has proven to be effective and safe after being in use in Europe for 20 years.
