I watched this video from Dr. Stephen Stokes and he said the side-effects people can experience on PEMF is because the detox pathways become overloaded, and that heavy metals can redistribute if someone overdoes it.
Unfortunately this happened to me several years ago. Initially PEMF helped me immensely and felt life-saving, but then I accidentally increased the intensity too quickly on certain areas on my body and immediately had multiple severe reactions.
Ever since then I haven’t been able to do PEMF on most areas of my body (except head, feet, and hands) without detox effects, which I never used to have. I suspect it’s because heavy metals may have redistributed to other areas of the body, so those some areas (such as my abdomen) which I used to be able to target with max intensity, I could no longer do so without a significant reaction.
This was the case even with trying other supplements and therapies to help manage the toxins and clear my detox pathways, such as cruciferous sprouts, glutathione/NAC pills, marine phytoplankton, shilajit, tonnes of zeolite, charcoal, drinking lots of water, etc.
But I became very sensitive so it felt like even a small amount of PEMF would be too much, whereas previously I could get all the benefits without a severe reaction. The side effects outweighed any benefits I experienced, which it initially did not. After a long time of trying, I eventually gave up and stopped PEMF entirely because just applying it to a general area like my head, hands, or feet never did much for me (I would always feel the best when applying it on my gut or entire body on the mat, but I couldn’t do that anymore).
I’ve just ordered an ICES M1 device to see if this will give me a different result to the device I had earlier (IMRS Omnium1). I’m hoping because the frequencies are different, maybe I can mitigate the detoxification effects but still experience the other benefits of ICES as well. I’m not saying I don’t want to detox, just that it needs to be slowed down significantly because of heavy metal poisoning, so I can get the other healing benefits from ICES.
I’m not at the point in my life where I can undergo any therapy that will cause such significant detox reactions that I can’t continue my usual activities, otherwise I won’t be able to work. And besides I don’t think it should do that anyway otherwise I’d be detoxing too quickly.
So that brings me to my question: what suggestions do you guys have to minimise the detox reaction? Besides the obvious, such as drinking enough water and slowly building up the intensity. For example:
- Are there certain frequencies for the ICES M1 that will induce less detoxification, so I can use those ones instead?
- What about placing the coil on a non-sensitive area where vagus nerve points are, such as the ones around the neck or ear? I don’t react to putting it on my head, so maybe I could target that to get the benefits of vagus nerve stimulation without a detox reaction.
- Any other suggestions, e.g maybe saunas could help (although I don’t have one at home right now, which I’d need)
