Medical Controls on imrs/mrs2000 and any (PEMF) device used in the private sector

We see medical apparatus's, like the mrs/imrs2000 (PEMF units) being used in the private sector and sold online. These apparatus' have no 'medical controls'. The use of magnets or any electrical waves should be governed by a doctor. They should not be governed by a distributor. A distributor 'sells them', and a 10 minute clip online, you are now an expert? Our laws have to protect the 'patient' and now spas and the internet are using medical procedures that should not put peoples lives in danger. These are not medical personnel, they are laymen. These types of units have caused seizures in healthy individuals and should be controlled. We just market from foreign countries and sell them here in the United States. Here are some excerpts from their information and you be the judge:
"Look for a Device with an Organ Clock or at least a machine that adjusts the frequencies to different times of the day. Circadian rhythm or biorhythm studies have proven that our brains, bodies and even the planetary frequencies change at different times of the day. There are both internal (thalamus) and external (environment) biological"t is critical to use only machines with low intensities between 0 and 70 uT (Micro tesla). This is what the Earth provides us and it is what is natural (Earth is Approximately 30-70 uT). So, you know the old saying, sometimes "Less is More". In Fact, when it comes to PEMF Therapy less can sometimes be essential and more can be harmful. And there is plenty of research to suggest that the lesser field strengths (in the earth's natural range) actually work better in clinical studies. IMPORTANT: If you are chemically sensitive, you will want to find a mat with a picotesla setting (very weak magnetic field).[br>"PEMF therapy is 100% safe, but it can trigger a herxheimer or healing crisis in sensitive individuals if not used properly.So please listen to this tip above all else: Find a company, distributor or product that offers EXPERT training and support by someone who has at least a couple years experience working with a wide range of body types and disease conditions. THIS IS CRITICAL and it's the most important tip I can offer!"
