Description
Over the last two decades, progress in MRI, PET,
SQUID, and other sophisticated imaging techniques have
revolutionized medical diagnosis. Similar advances in
bioelectromagnetic therapy now promise to replace drugs
and surgery for many disorders. The sudden surge of
interest in this rapidly emerging modality has produced
a plethora of spurious products making worthless claims
that make it difficult to distinguish between true and
false claims of efficacy. Bioelectromagnetic
Medicine provides the tools and skills to make
such evaluations and distinctions by:
-
thoroughly explaining the biologic effects of
magnetic and electromagnetic fields and the importance
of dosimetry in determining clinical efficacy and
safety
-
presenting examples of cutting edge breakthroughs
supported not only by rigid clinical trials but also
by solid basic science research
-
tracing the origin and evolution of transcutaneous
electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), cranioelectrical
stimulation (CES), vagal nerve stimulation, (VNS),
repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)
and other proven therapies by pioneers and authorities
responsible for their discovery and development
-
identifying promising new approaches based on
research advances in the U.S., Europe, Eastern Europe,
Russia, and Pacific Rim countries
The 86 internationally recognized contributors to
Bioelectromagnetic Medicine have strived
to insure that it will remain the gold standard in the
field for many years. Its 50 chapters and thousands of
references dealing with every aspect of this topic make
it an essential guide for physicians and all health care
professionals, biophysicists, physiologists, biochemists
and other basic scientists, as well as students and
anyone interested in non-invasive and authoritative
alternative medicine approaches. Return
