Difference between Innate immunity and Adaptive Immunity- Reference photo https://microbiologyinfo.com/difference-between-innate-and-adaptive-immunity/
Before we dive into what PEMF can do for the immune system we need to go into a little bit more detail of what the immune system entails.
The immune system is divided into two parts: the “innate” and the “adaptive” parts. As studies have continued to make new findings into the immune system, some diseases once thought to be autoimmune (which stem from the adaptive part) are now categorized as either auto-inflammatory or as having auto-inflammatory components (stemming from the innate part), and some even fall somewhere in between the two.
This network is the main organizational feature that allows the immune system to keep its dynamic equilibrium (homeostasis) through activating and inhibitory signals and, at the same time, to adapt the response to environmental cues. A healthy immune system permits the organism to interact with the environment in a safe way, keeping invading pathogens under control. At the same time, it “ignores” microorganisms and/or antigens that do not represent a danger for the host.
Study in Focus :
Immune-Modulating Perspectives for Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields in Innate Immunity
According to this study by Frontiers in Public Health in 2019, the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on the immune system have received a considerable interest, not only to investigate possible negative health impact but also to explore the possibility to favorably modulate immune responses.
Furthermore, the study describes that in order to generate beneficial responses, the immune system should eradicate pathogens while “respecting” the organism and tolerating irrelevant antigens. According to the current view, damage-associated molecules released by infected or injured cells, or secreted by innate immune cells generate danger signals activating an immune response.
These signals are also relevant to the subsequent activation of homeostatic mechanisms that control the immune response in pro- or anti-inflammatory reactions, a feature that allows modulation by therapeutic treatments.
In the present review, Frontiers in Public Health describe and discuss the effects of extremely low frequency (ELF)-EMF and PEMF on cell signals and factors relevant to the activation of danger signals and innate immunity cells.
By discussing the EMF modulating effects on cell functions, we envisage the use of EMF and PEMF as a therapeutic agent to regulate immune responses associated with wound healing.
A take on the study:
Now this is very interesting article on EMFs and PEMFs. We know that PEMF has definitely been proven to help with wound regeneration and maybe people don’t know that healing is an extension of the immune system. The passage above is taken from the introduction section of the study.
It’s interesting to note that PEMF is acting like a bio-hacking mechanism. Again, these studies are done with extremely low frequency. Machines like PEMF Systems or Magna Wave use extremely high frequency ( max intensity = 500 gauss) which in long run can have negative attributes to prolonged use. Healthy Wave PEMF Mats like the Multi-Wave, Classic Wave & Rainbow PEMF Far Infrared Mat use 3 Gauss frequency. The agreed upon therapeutic range is between 0.5 to 5 gauss.

Through experience of using these PEMF Far Infrared Therapy Mats we found that the Multi-Wave and Classic Wave Mats are among the best PEMF mats in the market.
As hockey players we have always dealt with lower back pain and other nagging injuries. However, as soon as we starting using these PEMF devices, we saw a dramatic reduction in pain after games. Some of our teammates were soo impressed they had bought more units for their parents as it really helps with joint pains.
