Hi Prometheus, I will answer each question separately in reverse order.
The Bemer system was used. It is allegedly used in thousands of medical offices worldwide, and has over 1 million users and claims to have allot of ,"research " behind it. I rented a Bemer mat for 2 weeks and felt incredible. My energy levels seem to increase and my moods as well. My sleep also seem to improve. I was also dogsitting a sick dog with spinal stenosis, who seemed to show improvement.
I never had access to the light, which people claim might make your skin look younger. It is a cool gadget that comes with special glasses to protect the eyes.
Had money been no concern, I would have bought one.
They are relatively much easier to use than an M1 or C5 and do provide allot of support.
Several credible doctors view the Bemer as a safe and slow way for patients to treat many chronic conditions.
The Bemer videos do show what seems to be a credible and significant increase in micro-vascular blood flow. (Basically blood flow in the very small veins that bring oxygen and nutrients to much of the body).
Increasing Oxygen flow as you have stated in a different post, is potentially very beneficial in many conditions.
They also claim to increase Nitric Oxide. Basically a very useful chemical that can amongst many things help with ,“erections”.(like viagra)
The Bemer system comes with many bells and whistles and built in protections and protocols to prevent people from hurting themselves.
Typically your average patient is not a biohacker, and listens blindly to what Dr’s tell them.
I prefer the M1 PEMF-ICES over the Bemer, both from a technologically and cost perspective. While the Bemer company has done allot to promote PEMF, their goal of having a mat in every household might not be realistic.
If the Bemer mat had cost $1000, then its fully body mat with strap and cool light application might be worthwhile.
Technology doubles according to a man called Moore, every 18 months or 2 years.
During this time the cost to produce that technology decreases by half.
If that were true, I reasoned why has that mat increased in price?
If you want to know more about the Bemer please ask, I spent months researching it.
