After you read this chapter may I suggest that you read the additional Diapulse chapters listed in the upper left hand column of this page.  They are my own personal collection on Diapulse  information.  Some of them are very graphic so if you have a weak stomach what ever you do, do not look at those color photographs.

To all motorcycles riders
If you are not using Diapulse for your treatments - you’re not getting the best care you can get. It has been my personal experience over the 15 years I toured with the riders on the motocross and Supercross raci41 circuits that nothing ever beats the Diapulse. In all of its health care competition no one was ever competitive against it. They always finished a distant second - at best. Diapulse works great on any and all injuries you have or will have. For more information on Diapulse or to see how you can get one see the address at the bottom of this article.

What Is The Diapulse
The Diapulse produces radio waves, which are pulsed by a high peak power electromagnetic energy field, which is comfortable, but more importantly, safe to be used on any part of the body. The patient will feel nothing during its treatment. The Diapulse has no known contra-indications and the FDA has approved it for Post-Operative Edema. In other words, you can use the Diapulse over an area just following surgery. Wow, is that impressive. No other therapy in the world can make this claim.


Diapulse heals through the Cast

Remember this about the Diapulse - Diapulse is not a Diathermy. Diathermy produces a deep-heat that can easily exceed the body’s healing temperature limits causing more problems. Diapulse is a non-thermal (no heat) electromagnetic healing energy waves (see the double blind study on the "Pearl Chain Effect") therefore its therapeutic wave always remains well within the body’s healing temperature limits.


Diapulse can be used over the head and face


Diapulse can also be used directly over metal implants, all body organs and all parts of the body.  It is designed for safety. 

Diapulse History
The Diapulse was invented in the early thirties by two men named A. J. Ginsberg, a medical doctor, and Arthur Milinowski, a physicist. They knew that the body worked on, and was stimulated by, electromagnetic fields. They also knew that the body had twenty-two different types of tissue, each responding to its own specific radio frequency. They wanted to be able to generate an ultra short-wave therapeutic magnetic field that would not produce heat (non-thermal) and came up with the ideal to pulse the field. Also, it had to have the ability to be tuned throughout (from below to above) the twenty-two different tissue frequencies of the body. This unique tuning applicator allows the patient to be tuned to the resonance of the electromagnetic field produced by the Diapulse.

What I have Witnessed
In my twenty-five years of treating patients with Diapulse, the amazing and most impossible disease processes have become the expected cures. The most difficult cases become easy help and manage with its special therapeutic treatment procedure. Each time I witnessed some, seemingly incurable problem, watching it heal is like personally experiencing another "Miracle" health cure. Broken bones that normally take many months to years to routinely heal themselves, heal within days. And in follow-up examinations, x-rays clearly show the bone structure to have undergone "Plastic Regeneration" not aplastic deformation. That is to say very little to no scar tissue forms. I even know of a research file about a lady in England who lost the first joint on her right hand pinkie finger. Following an experimental treatment protocol procedure with Diapulse the missing part grew back (remember Dr. Becker’s work with frog amputations - see "Electromagnetic Field" in this section of our library). The missing section that grew back was in a rudimentary state, but it grew back. How do you like those apples? This is the direction we need to be "Practicing", not prescribing harmful chemical poisons (drugs) and performing highly questionable surgeries so someone can get and stay rich. Isn’t it amazing how surgery has escalated from approximately 1 to 2% usage in the early 1950’s to over 30% today? And drugs – they has escalated to well over 80% usage in the US today. It is no wonder our children are having so many drugs related problems today. The reason I say we need to be practicing a lot more electromagnetics is because I have personally witnessed over and over again the amazing "Miracle-Like" healing abilities of the body when under their influence. Diapulse is credited with saving thousand and thousands of amputations, whether diabetic or other underlying conditions. Why isn’t this fact routinely known and even more routinely found within our health centers and hospitals? Now – doesn’t that make you stop and think about our beloved health care system?

Another important fact worth mentioning here is the 1976 Los Angeles surgeon’s strike. In 1976 the surgeons in Los Angeles went on strike. During this striking time period the weekly hospital death rates dropped significantly below normal for the first time in many many years. Analysis of this highly unusual phenomena attributed the hospital death rate drop was due to the "unnecessary operations that were not being performed. Keep in mind that all necessary surgeries, including Emergency surgery went on unchanged, only the elective surgery were stopped, altogether.

Upon making this data public about hospital death rates dropping due to the unnecessary operations and surgeries, the surgeons immediately ended their strike and when back to work. Any additional data collected was kept quiet and the surgeons went back to full practice. And guess what? The hospital death rates once again rose and have been climbing ever since. Remember these statistics were made public back in 1976. Wouldn’t it be interesting to compare those figures of 1976 to today’s figures?

Surgery Without Surgery
How about if I shared with you that our technology in Electromagnetics has found ways to do surgery without doing surgery. This technology allows the body to remove the unwanted or unnecessary problems through its own "God " given means. Isn’t this a neat invention – "Doing surgery without the need for surgery". If you would like to learn more about this read "#3" in the "Study 3"

Double Blind Studies
The Diapulse is the most double blind studied piece of therapeutic equipment ever invented. And every time the studies showed the same unbelievable and remarkable successful results. It doesn't have any contraindications and the FDA has approved it for postoperative edema and swelling. That may not sound impressive but the FDA has never approved any piece of therapeutic equipment, before or after, to be used over a site of passive bleeding. But what is most impressive about the Diapulse is that through all the countless controlled and double blind studies performed by the best in our health fields, it emerged as a superior piece of health care equipment. Why is it still not being used by all that practice in the health care professions, today? Let's look at just a few of the double blind research studies done on Diapulse.

In August 24 thru Aug 29 of 1958 the American Congress of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation presented their finding of the exposure of diluted milk cells from Thermic and Non-thermic radio waves.  They wanted to learn the effects of radio wave exposure on living cellular tissues.  Milk cells closely approximate human cells therefore they were the best choice for this experiment.  They used  Diathermy and Ultrasound to induce the thermic radio waves. And they used high frequency high peak power electromagnetic waves, more commonly known as Diapulse, to induce the non-thermic radio waves.  

Exhibit A

Exhibit A is a microphotograph normal of milk showing the random positioning of fat globules in diluted milk prior to subjection to thermic and non-thermic high frequency oscillation radio waves

Exhibit B
        
       Treated With Diapulse       Returned To Normal          
 
Exhibit B is a microphotograph of the fat globules after subjection of Diapulse showing that the globules have assumed a pearl china formation.  This pearl chain formation is also readily reproducible with blood and lymph cells.  The pearl chain formation allows increase blood without changing the blood pressure.  And when the Diapulse radio wave as removed the cellular formation returned to normal like that seen in Exhibit A above.


When they applied thermic radio waves to the same milk solution they discovered it left irreversible agglomerate patterns in the mild.

Exhibit C 
      
Permanent tissue damage following Thermic radio waves

Exhibit C is an microphotograph of the fat globules of milk after subjection to high frequency oscillation radio waves from a thermic type of apparatus showing that the globules have assumed an agglomerated pattern indicating irreversible or permanent tissue damage. 

Diapulse Double Blind Research Studies

Study #1
Treatment of Soft-tissue injuries by Pulsed Electrical Energy, D. H. Wilson, British Medical Journal, 1972, 2, 269-270.
Summary - Twenty pairs of patients matched for sex, age, weight, and degree of trauma were treated either with an active Diapulse machine emitting pulsed, high frequency electrical energy or with a non-active placebo machine. They were examined for swelling, pain, and disability before treatment and after three days under double-blind conditions.

ResultsThe results showed that the Diapulse treatment has a definite biological effect on recently injured soft tissues, especially in the reduction of pain and disability.

Study #2
Emerging Electromagnetic Medicine, ME O'Connor, Ph.D., R. H. C. Dentall, and F.R.C.S.Ed. & J. C. Monaham, Center for Devices & Radiological Health, FDA, Springer-Verlag, New Your, Berlin, Heidelberg, London, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Barcelona.

The Following Nerve Regeneration conditions were studied

Peripheral Nerve Tissue Regeneration, Spinal Cord Crush Injuries, Trauma & Burn Wounds, Plastic Surgery, Hand Injuries, Rheumatology & Decubitus Ulcers, Brain Edema, Head Trauma, & Coma.

Conclusion
The accumulated clinical research during the past thirty-four years with control, double-blind studies performed in universities and medical centers in many parts of the world demonstrate the beneficial biological and biophysical effect of non-thermal, high frequency, pulsed high peak power electromagnetic energy as delivered by the Diapulse apparatus.

Current research has been in progress for several years in universities and medical centers in various countries. Preliminary observations indicate that these studies will expand the applications of Diapulse.

Diapulse technology has emerged as a valuable tool in clinical medicine today. Current use provides physicians and surgeons with a means for adjunctive patient care in cases where edema is a complication to the healing process. Implications for future research and applications include:

1. Enhanced recovery time of injuries which normally require long-term care

2. Reduced use of analgesics and medication without compromising the patient by side effects

3. Reduction of nursing care due to the ease of application of this non invasive, unattended therapy with no detriment to the operator; and

4. A reduction in hospital stay with associated reduction in hospital costs for patients, the government hospitals, and insurance companies.

Results
All stages of ulceration, not only healed, but in record healing times, under the care of Diapulse where the ulceration’s were not healing under standard or special treatment protocols. Stage 3 and 4 are the precursors to amputation of that extremity. They also agreed that the Diapulse was much more cost effective when compared to any other present day accepted treatments methods or protocols.

After reading the above public knowledge double-blind studies one begins to wonder why every hospital and doctors office are still not equipped with a Diapulse. Are they just not up-to-date on what's available or are they interested in a pathway that is just unacceptable to the patient and his or her family.

Approved By Medicare, Medicaid, Champus & The Joint Commission For Home Care
Here are some more interesting facts about this amazing piece of therapeutic equipment called the Diapulse. Medicare, Medicaid, and Champus have approve the use of Diapulse. And the "Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations" has approved Diapulse for the in home treatments and management of wounds. You, as a patient, can specifically request Diapulse treatments by your doctor or hospital. Or you may request a Diapulse for home usage. And if the hospital or doctor does not have one, request that they get one. And if they don’t, go to another doctor or hospital that does have them. As you have learned from above, it could save you an arm and/or your leg and even more.

Approved by the Joint Commission

Joint Commission
Being approved by the Joint Commission means that you can take the Diapulse  home with you to perform your daily treatments rather than having to go to the hospital or doctor's office for your treatments.

I would like to quote from the Journal Of Insurance Medicine in their summer issue of 1991, Vol. 23, #2 on "An Actuarial Report On The Cost Effectiveness of The Diapulse". They conclude the following. "If we apply a $4,500.00 savings per ulcer to the estimated prevalence of nursing home residents, the annual U.S. savings are approximately $2.25 billion. These savings do not reflect ancillary savings that would derive from reduced mortality and morbidity. In the later case, more than 50,000 lower extremity amputations are performed on diabetics each year at an estimated cost of $500 million as a result of chronic non-healing wounds.

For those insurance companies entering the Long Term Care marketplace, further evaluation of the cost savings potential of Diapulse would appear to offer a possible advantage over the competition. For those companies involved in managed care of high cost claims, secondary morbidity costs may be minimized by addition of Diapulse technology to conventional therapy.

The emergence of electromagnetic medicine may offer cost savings opportunities in other areas that have been somewhat refractory to therapeutic approaches devised to date. Wide spread industry review, including investigation and evaluation of this new therapeutic modality, may prove to be a worthwhile cost containment strategy."

Diapulse Treatments & Settings
There has been a large number of request to discuss the treatment settings I found to be very effective when treating a full range of advanced motocross injuries such as broken bones, spinal vertebral and spinal cord injuries, head injuries, strokes, coma, tail pipe burns, and skin ulcerations. All were treated very successfully with Diapulse.

Patient Placement Requirements
Patient comfort comes first, preferably lying down is best as most patients will go to sleep as the healing process is activated.  However some conditions are treated better when the patient is sittings up, such as sinus conditions. The patient does not need to disrobe.  They can stay fully dressed as the Diapulse treating head can be placed directly on the effected area and the electromagnetic healing rays will go right through the clothing, sterile dressing, or cast.  But remember the treating head surface must be touching the effected treatment site. 

Location Of Treatment
Diapulse treatments can be performed while the patient is lying on a treatment table, in bed, or sitting in a chair.  It is normal to find the patient sleeping during the treatment as the body selectively shuts down its normal activities as its healing processes are activated.

Time Of Treatment
Each treatment time should lasts from 15 to 30 minutes minimum.  However, I have found that the more severe the injury the longer each treatment time must be.  A Diapulse can successfully treat many patients a day.  Treatments involving a severity level of 4/10 to 6/10 can be treated twice a day (BID) such as broken bones, spinal core injuries, or skin ulcers.  And remember that twice a day is much better than twice as long. Treatments requiring three times a day (TID) usually involve a severity level that ranges from 6/10 to 8/10.  Conditions that range 8/10 and above probably will require many hours per treatment as the Diapulse's treating electromagnetic field eliminates the pain, swelling, and discomfort.  All broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and skin ulcers require a minimum of 30 minutes for each treatment.

Frequency Of Treatments
Standard treatment protocol dictates the more severe the problem the more frequent the daily treatment.  As a general rule I have found for more sever conditions who's severity levels is at or above 4/10 will require at least two treatments daily (BID).  More severe conditions will require three treatments daily (TID).  And all 8/10 and above will require are treated QID or four times per day.

All healing times are greatly shortened with the correct daily frequency. QID &

Diapulse Power Setting
The Diapulse has two-selected setting for each treatment.  Both are selected and set before the treatment begins. 

1. Peak Power  
2. Pulse Frequency

1. Peak Power (The Upper Panel)

The Upper panel on the machine is Peak Power.  This setting determines the magnetic wave depth of penetration.  The values range from 1 through 6. 
Value
1 is for shallow depths (approximately 1") and value 6 is a maximum penetration depth (approximately 6").

2. Pulse Frequency (The Lower panel)
The Lower Panel on the machine is the Pulse Frequency.  This setting determines the number of electromagnetic energy pulses per second (pps). The pulse frequency ranges from 80 pps to 600 pps.

Because the duration of each pulse is constant, the intensity of the total electromagnetic power employed can be varied over a broad spectrum by correlating the settings of the pulse frequency with the settings of the peak power output.

Power Setting Chart
1. Peak Power
A. 1, 2, & 3     All Skin Inflammations = burns, sutures, cuts, abrasions etc.
B. 4, 5, & 6     All Acute thru Chronic treatments = follow-up post operative treatments, all bony areas, striated muscles and joints including hands & sinus, striated muscles, pain, sprains & strain, fractures, swelling, edema, strokes, heart conditions, comas, skin ulcers. Etc.

2. Pulse Frequency
A. 80 thru 300 = Smooth muscle spasms, acute nerves such as sciatica, burns, pain,                                 etc.
B. 400              = All acute inflammatory conditions, injuries (within 24 hours) or same
                             day related
C. 500              = Subacute injuries (48 hours on)
D. 600              = All chronic conditions, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, deep 
                             bruises, strokes, heart conditions, comas, and skin ulcers

Total Number Of Treatments (Guideline)
1. Acute Conditions    = Should see results within 1 to 10 treatments
2. Chronic Conditions = Should see results within 10 to 30 treatments

Remember - No treatment under 15 minutes over the affected area.  And the longer the treatment the better the results. The more severe the problems the longer each treatment time should be.  If the patient is asleep while on the Diapulse do not awake them and continue the treatment until they wake up on their own.  The body heals at its fastest possible rate during the sleep phase.

Acute Nerve Inflammation Low back pain, as almost all chronic pain, responds very well with a Diapulse setting of 6 and 300 or 6 and 400 over the primary site of actual pain.

What Conditions Can Diapulse Be Used On?
Any and all acute, subacute, & chronic conditions involving all connective tissue and postoperative edema and pain.  Diapulse can be used safely over any area of the body with no danger of hyperpyrexia or tissue damage.  It can be placed directly on any cast to heal broken bones. It can be used directly over metal implants to heal the surrounding tissues. It has been found to regenerate nerve tissue. And is the only therapy approved by the FDA to treat an area immediately following surgery.

Contra-Indication = None

Warnings
Diapulse should not be used on patients using electronic cardiac pacemakers or on patients with metallic implants in the area of application.  Hearing aids may have to be removed before treatment begins.

1. Diapulse should not be used on pregnant or skeletally immature patients
2. The long-term biologic effect of pulsed electromagnetic energy is not known at this time.
