Bioelectromagnetic medicine

"Just as MRI, PET scanning, and other sophisticated imaging techniques have revolutionized the diagnosis of disease, bioelectromagnetic approaches are now replacing drugs and surgery for many disorders. This 50-chapter volume emphasizes cutting edge breakthroughs in disorders ranging from cancer, coronary disease, and obesity to neuropsychiatric disturbances, including Parkinson's disease; epilepsy; multiple sclerosis; tinnitus; macular degeneration; migraine; musculoskeletal pain syndromes; depression; insomnia; and anxiety." "These are supported by rigid clinical trials demonstrating their superior efficacy and safety and basic science research that has helped to elucidate the varied mechanisms of action involved. This is in sharp contrast to a host of spurious electromagnetic devices and approaches that make similar but worthless claims. Bioelectromagnetic Medicine provides the tools and skills to distinguish between true and false claims of efficacy as new therapies emerge. The biological effects of magnetic and electromagnetic fields and the importance of dosimetry in determining clinical efficacy and safety are thoroughly explained. Novel theories to explain how EMF benefits
