EP372: Magnets and Health with Mark Fox (Part 2)
Description
Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
Podcast Summary
Introduction
Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, author, and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, interviews Mark Fox, an entrepreneur, rocket scientist, and CEO of Rezona Health, about pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy and its health applications. This is part two of their conversation, building on previous discussions about how electromagnetic energy can help cells function better and potentially prevent or reverse disease.
Key Takeaways
-
Rezona Health's VIBE device is a pocket-sized wearable (designed to resemble an iPod) that uses electromagnetic field therapy by playing "songs" through a coil that create therapeutic magnetic fields for various health conditions.
-
The device works through three theorized mechanisms: resonating with water in the body, creating ultra-low electrical currents (1,000 times less than TENS units), and potentially interacting with magnetite crystals recently discovered in human cells.
-
A fourth potential mechanism involves blood cells becoming "charged" as they pass through the device's magnetic field near the neck, then distributing that energy throughout the body to improve healing and reduce inflammation.
-
An upcoming pendant device launching in early 2024 will specifically target the vagus nerve, based on research showing that vagus nerve toning at the right frequency can address numerous health conditions.
-
Clinical and anecdotal evidence shows PEMF therapy can significantly reduce fracture healing time (documented in double-blind randomized trials) and improve wound healing in both humans and animals.
-
For PTSD treatment, heart rate variability—not cortisol levels—is the appropriate measurement of success, according to the Veterans Administration and recent research findings.
-
The device can be worn around the neck, in a pocket, or even placed in a bra, and can be infused into water (effective for ~6 hours) or creams (effective for ~30 days) for treating wounds on zoo animals and other applications.
-
VIBE devices retail for $399 but are available to Dr. Bishop's listeners for $249 with a special discount, and Rezona Health ships worldwide for free.
-
Dr. Bishop recommends exploring PEMF therapy for those with chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and other inflammatory conditions, emphasizing results matter even when full scientific understanding is still developing.
