Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
You probably know that food, water, sunlight, and oxygen are required for life, but there is a fifth element of health that is equally vital: the Earth’s magnetic field and its corresponding PEMFs (pulsed electromagnetic fields). The two main components of Earth’s PEMFs, the Schumann and Geomagnetic frequencies, are so essential that NASA and the Russian space program equip their spacecrafts with devices that replicate these frequencies. These frequencies are absolutely necessary for the human body’s circadian rhythms, energy production, and even keeping the body free from pain. But we are no longer getting enough of these life-nurturing energies of the earth. In this book, we’ll explore the current problem and how the new science of PEMF therapy (a branch of energy medicine), based on modern quantum field theory, is the solution to this problem, with many benefits: eliminate pain and inflammation naturally; get deep, rejuvenating sleep; keep your bones strong and healthy; improve circulation and heart health; and more.


My Review:
PEMF: The Fifth Element of Health is about the five elements needed for health, including earth-based frequencies in the range of 1-30 Hz. The author spent a lot of time trying to use some Eastern ideas (like fire, water, earth, air) as his structure for why we need to buy an expensive PEMF mat with earth frequencies. He also seemed to feel that Newton physics was wrong and only quantum physics explained things as it better fit with his belief system. Most people accept that both are accurate, and the author then proceeded to behave as if Newton physics is accurate. I could have done with less of his belief system and more about the benefits of PEMF. When he did get to the parts about PEMFs, he talked about scientific research done studying earth frequencies and the most healing wave forms, intensities, etc. I found this information useful.
