Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy for Cancer –
Frequency Specific PEMF for treating Cancer Cells
Belief that many disease states including cancer are at least partially attributable to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxygen deficiency or hypoxia was supported by eminent scientists of a long-gone, more rational era of medicine including Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Otto Warburg, Emmanuel Revici and Linus Pauling.
Nearly 80 years after Otto Warburg first proposed cancer was caused by mitochondrial dysfunction (conveniently discarded by allopathic medicine), more recent research from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, Boston College and Washington University School of Medicine has thoroughly revived his theory.
Our MoreATP theory hit’s the nail squarely on the head raising cell energy & blood and tissue oxygen simultaneously.
In contrast to healthy cells, which generate energy by oxidative breakdown of a simple acid within the mitochondria, tumors and cancer cells generate energy through the non-oxidative breakdown of glucose, a process called glycolysis (sugar splitting). Indeed, glycolysis is the biochemical hallmark of most, if not all, types of cancers. Because of this difference between healthy cells and cancer cells, Otto Warburg argued, cancer should be interpreted as a type of mitochondrial disease. (Boston College press office). Further, deep sleep has been identified as a leading tool in cancer survival.
BIOFIELD DOES NOT IN ANY WAY infer our systems are to be used to treat cancer. We inform you however, no other PEMF systems in the world adheres to this extremely narrow frequency range below 15 Hz in every single frequency MODE. We have since inception.
Clarification on BIOFIELD PEMF’s Frequency Range and Intended Use
BIOFIELD PEMF systems are not designed, marketed, or approved for the treatment, cure, or mitigation of cancer or any other disease. Our technology is intended solely for general wellness purposes, including relaxation, stress reduction, and supporting overall well-being.
Unique Differentiator: BIOFIELD’s Ultra-Low Frequency Range
While many PEMF devices operate across broad frequency spectra, BIOFIELD PEMF systems are uniquely engineered to adhere to an extremely narrow, low-frequency range (below 15 Hz) in every operational mode. This distinguishes our technology from other PEMF systems, which may utilize higher frequencies or variable ranges.
Key Facts About BIOFIELD PEMF:
Exclusive Sub-15 Hz Range: Since inception, BIOFIELD has consistently maintained this precision, aligning with Earth’s natural geomagnetic frequencies (e.g., Schumann resonance at 7.83 Hz) and foundational biological rhythms (e.g., alpha brainwaves, cellular repair cycles).
Safety-First Design: Our systems prioritize non-thermal, non-invasive pulsations to avoid cellular stress, in contrast to high-energy EMFs linked to potential harm.
Wellness Applications: BIOFIELD PEMF may support general wellness by promoting relaxation, circulation, and metabolic balance—all within a rigorously controlled low-energy framework.
Regulatory and Scientific Context
FDA Clearance: While PEMF technology is FDA-cleared for specific applications (e.g., bone healing, depression via rTMS), BIOFIELD PEMF systems are not medical devices and are not intended for therapeutic use.
Research on Low-Frequency PEMFs: Studies suggest frequencies below 15 Hz may influence cellular communication and homeostasis (Pilla, 2013), but no claims are made regarding disease outcomes.
Why This Matters
The precision of BIOFIELD’s sub-15 Hz range reflects our commitment to harmonizing with the body’s innate bioelectrical environment—without the risks associated with higher-energy EMFs.

Relationship between cancer and pulsed electromagnetic fields
According to Haltiwanger that the relationship between cancer and pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) is primarily based upon frequency. Direct current (DC), infrasonic (subsonic) extremely-low-frequency (ELF below 14 Hz) pulsed electro magnetic fields are completely safe. 10 Hz is especially useful at energizing the cells to fight cancer. BIOFIELD™ is the only full function PEMF system that adheres to this narrow frequency range.
Fields closer to power frequency (50-60 Hz AC) or higher, and down to about 20 Hz appear to increase cancer growth. Notice on bottom of page 23 Haltiwanger discusses frequency specificity. Keep in mind Haltiwanger says 10 Hz is anti-cancer frequency while anything above 10 Hz is pro-cancer and this is just not so. We judge the cut-off at 15 Hz and is why our system has always been limited to second Schumann peak at 14.1 Hz at highest frequency.
Dozens of animal studies show 15 Hz causes negative behavioral modification: 20 Hz and above cause stress hormone production. We limit our frequency range to 14.1 Hz and below, because stress hormones and negative behavioral modification are pro-cancer.
Oxygen metabolism is a good indicator of overall mitochondrial efficiency whether elderly and sick, or young and in peak physical condition. Improved oxygen metabolism results in reduced levels of oxidative electrons. Just like tuning an automobile, power and mileage go up and emissions go down. It is expected every one of our clients’ saturated blood and tissue oxygen rise. Where depressed we’ve seen it rise 6% in 3 days and this is expected. In world class athletes where 99 or 100% SAO2 already, our static breath hold tests still show 20% increase. But, testing them under-load (underwater swim) distance increases by 50%!
Effect of diet and lifestyle changes accelerate with BIOFIELD™
Mitochondrial by-product are called free radicals (oxidative electrons / reactive oxygen species). If not scavenged effectively by antioxidants over time these free-radicals cause inflammation which prove deadly to the mitochondria, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and subsequently the cell.
Inflammatory processes have been implicated as initiators or contributors to chronic diseases and conditions of aging including cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, insulin resistance and diabetes. Where and how this tendency towards pro-inflammatory state in older persons originates is not known. However one hypothesis is that excessive production of reactive oxygen species in the mitochondria may be the underlying cause of increased pro-inflammatory response observed in old age. (NIA / NIH Inflammation and Aging Workshop).
The Eastern European research showed pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) to possess strong anti-inflammatory effects, especially at 10 Hz. Controlling inflammation becomes a key factor in maintaining mitochondrial integrity over a life-time of modern life stressors like EMF pollution, chemical toxins and psychological stress.
Stress has been linked directly to inflammation and cancer as well as poor sleep. Stress is a trigger that can cause a lot of damage to body over time. BIOFIELD™ “tunes” you down, subsequently reducing stress.
Without adequate amounts of deep-sleep the body simply can’t recover from normal wear and tear, maintain healthy immune system or protect itself from colds and flu virus. Deep-sleep is REQUIRED as only during deep, slow-wave, Delta-rhythm sleep do body systems shut down sufficiently allowing body to sequester its ATP for immune function, repair, regeneration and hormone synthesis.
Our users have always reported FAR less colds and flu.
Even during lighter stages of sleep, a majority of cellular energy is still expended to maintain body and cell integrity, rather than repair/regeneration/endocrine synthesis. While awake nearly all ATP is required to sustain the body. The mitochondria NEVER sleep. Only during deep, slow-wave (Delta-rhythm) sleep is the largest ATP-pool available for repair and immunity.
Contemporary research definitively links poor sleep to obesity, heart disease, stroke, diabetes (just 3 days with no delta stage sleep resulted in pre-diabetic blood sugar levels), chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, reduced immune response, decreased cancer survival and poor performance at work, school and sports.
The short and long-term result of poor quality sleep is mitochondrial dysfunction that can manifest over time in any number of disease states. Power frequency (50-60 Hz AC) electric and radiofrequency (RF) telecommunication fields, nutritional deficiency and environmental toxins directly affect and further exacerbate both poor sleep and mitochondrial dysfunction; mitochondrial dysfunction also affects neuronal performance.
The infrasonic (under 14.1 Hz) BIOFIELD™ field acts particularly well as a disruptive field to help mitigate the negative effect of both power and radio frequency magnetic fields. Particularly our stepping up and down TUNE UP-MODE that keeps you entrained to Low-Beta and lower frequency Rhythm.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION:
A common drawback of many anticancer therapies is non-specificity in action of killing. We investigated the potential of ultra-low intensity and frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) to kill breast cancer cells. Our criteria to accept this technology as a potentially valid therapeutic approach were: 1) cytotoxicity to breast cancer cells and; 2) that the designed fields proved innocuous to healthy cell classes that would be exposed to the PEMFs during clinical treatment.
METHODS:
MCF7 breast cancer cells and their normal counterparts, MCF10 cells, were exposed to PEMFs and cytotoxic indices measured in order to design PEMF paradigms that best kill breast cancer cells. The PEMF parameters tested were: 1) frequencies ranging from 20 to 50 Hz; 2) intensities ranging from 2 mT to 5 mT and; 3) exposure durations ranging from 30 to 90 minutes per day for up to three days to determine the optimum parameters for selective cancer cell killing.
RESULTS:
We observed a discrete window of vulnerability of MCF7 cells to PEMFs of 20 Hz frequency, 3 mT (30 Gauss)magnitude and exposure duration of 60 minutes per day. (we believe 10 Hz and stronger would have worked better). The cell damage accrued in response to PEMFs increased with time and gained significance after three days of consecutive daily exposure. By contrast, the PEMFs parameters determined to be most cytotoxic to breast cancer MCF-7 cells were not damaging to normal MCF-10 cells.
CONCLUSION:
Based on our data it appears that PEMF-based anticancer strategies may represent a new therapeutic approach to treat breast cancer without affecting normal tissues in a manner that is non-invasive and can be potentially combined with existing anti-cancer treatments.

Abstract
The complex investigation (histological, histochemical, morphological, electrone microscopy) of lung cancerous tumors from 20 patients, subjected preoperatively to the action of magnetic fields enhancing the antitumor resistance by developing general nonspecific adaptation reactions: activation and training, has revealed a number of morphological changes which indicate a marked antitumor effect of magnetic fields. These changes were maximum manifest after 20-30 sessions. High-differentiated adenocarcinoma proved to be mostly sensitive to the magnetic field action.
Understanding EMFs vs. PEMFs in Cancer and Tumor Development
1. Harmful Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) and Cancer Risk
EMFs are broadly categorized into ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, with differing biological effects:
Ionizing Radiation (e.g., X-rays, gamma rays) carries enough energy to break chemical bonds, damage DNA, and directly contribute to cancer development (National Cancer Institute, 2021).
Non-Ionizing Radiation (e.g., UV, microwaves, radio frequency from cell phones) lacks sufficient energy to ionize atoms but may still pose risks through prolonged exposure, leading to oxidative stress, tissue heating, and potential DNA damage (World Health Organization [WHO], 2022).
Key Risk Factors:
Intensity & Duration: Chronic exposure to high-power EMFs (e.g., living near high-voltage power lines, excessive cell phone use) may disrupt cellular function (IARC, 2011).
Sources: Nuclear radiation, excessive UV exposure, and debated risks from 5G/cell towers.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies radiofrequency (RF) radiation as “possibly carcinogenic” (Group 2B) based on limited evidence linking it to glioma (a type of brain tumor) (IARC, 2011).
Key Differences Summarized
| Factor | Harmful EMFs | Healing PEMFs |
| Energy Level | High (ionizing) or chronic non-ionizing | Low, non-thermal, pulsed |
| Biological Effect | DNA damage, oxidative stress | Cellular repair, ATP boost, reduced inflammation |
| Cancer Risk | Possible carcinogen (IARC Group 2B) | Potential supportive role in therapy |
Scientific Support for PEMFs in Cancer Care
A 2009 pilot study (Barbault et al.) found tumor-specific frequency patterns in cancer patients, suggesting PEMFs could selectively target malignant cells.
Preclinical studies show PEMFs may enhance chemotherapy efficacy while protecting healthy cells (Zhang et al., 2020).
Cellular Voltage Theory: Research indicates that restoring bioelectric signaling may help suppress tumor growth (Cone, 1971; Levin, 2021).
Conclusion
While harmful EMFs may contribute to cancer risk through DNA damage and oxidative stress, PEMFs operate on a fundamentally different principle—supporting cellular repair, oxygenation, and metabolic balance. Emerging evidence suggests BIOFIELD PEMF and similar low-frequency systems could play a role in integrative oncology, though further clinical trials are needed.
Analogy:
Damaging EMFs = A loud, chaotic noise (e.g., jackhammer) that stresses cells.
Healing PEMFs = A rhythmic, harmonizing tune (e.g., therapeutic music) that helps cells function optimally.
For now, PEMFs are not a standalone cure for cancer, but they represent a promising adjunctive therapy under professional guidance.

Difference between EMF’s and PEMF’s
Explaining the difference between damaging electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) and healing pulsed electromagnetic frequencies (PEMFs) requires clarifying key concepts about energy, intensity, frequency ranges, and biological effects. Here’s a structured way to break it down:
1. Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMFs) – Potentially Damaging
These are waves of energy emitted by electronic devices, power lines, and natural sources. Some can harm humans depending on:
Frequency & Type:
Ionizing radiation (e.g., X-rays, gamma rays) has enough energy to break chemical bonds, damage DNA, and cause cancer.
Non-ionizing radiation (e.g., UV, microwaves, radiofrequency from cell phones) is less energetic but may still cause harm with prolonged exposure (e.g., tissue heating, oxidative stress).
Intensity & Duration: High-power or chronic exposure (e.g., living near power lines, excessive phone use) may disrupt cellular function.
Sources: Nuclear radiation, UV overexposure, high-voltage power lines, 5G/cell towers (debated).
2. Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequencies (PEMFs) – Healing
PEMFs use controlled, low-energy electromagnetic pulses to stimulate repair. They differ in:
Frequency Range: Typically low in BIOFIELD(0.5 –14.4hz Hz), mimicking Earth’s natural geomagnetic fields or biological rhythms (e.g., brainwaves, cellular communication).
Pulsing Pattern: Brief, rhythmic pulses (not continuous) that “nudge” cells without overheating or damaging them.
Mechanism: Enhances cellular energy (ATP production), reduces inflammation, and improves circulation/bone healing (FDA-approved for fractures and depression).
Sources: PEMF devices (e.g., Biofield PEMF, TENS units), Earth’s Schumann resonance (7.83 Hz).
Key Differences Summary
| Factor | Damaging EMFs | Biofield Healing PEMFs |
| Frequency | High (ionizing) or chaotic | Low (0.5–15 Hz), rhythmic |
| Intensity | High power or prolonged | Low power, pulsed |
| Biological Effect | DNA damage, oxidative stress | Cellular repair, anti-inflammatory |
| Purpose | Unintended (pollution) | Therapeutic (intentional) |
Analogy to Explain It
Think of EMFs like sound waves:
Damaging EMFs = Loud, constant noise (e.g., jackhammer) that stresses the body.
Healing PEMFs = Gentle, rhythmic music (e.g., calming beats) that helps the body relax and heal.
Why the Confusion?
Both are “EMFs,” but effects depend on how energy is delivered (dose, frequency, pulsing). PEMFs leverage the body’s natural electrical system (e.g., Brainwaves, nerves, heartbeats), while harmful EMFs overwhelm it.
Scientific Support:
PEMFs: FDA-approved for wellbeing, bone healing, pain relief, and depression (e.g., rTMS therapy).
Harmful EMFs: WHO/IARC classifies RF radiation as “possibly carcinogenic,” but more research is needed.
