We Are Proud to Introduce PAP-IMI Pain-Relief Sessions

Benefits from this pioneering technology include:

• Pain Relief• Reduced Swelling• Increased Range of Motion

WHAT IS PAP-IMI?

The PAP-IMI is a therapeutic medical instrument that generates a pulsed electromagnetic field. The pulses of energy are directed into a specific treatment area via a loop of insulated cable. The loop can be held against the body, either over clothing or touching the skin. Unlike electricity, magnetic fields penetrate the body freely. And since this innovative therapy uses only a pulsed electromagnetic field, no electricity goes from the instrument to the body.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Click for Technical Description

The PAP-IMI device works by stimulating the vibrational frequencies of biological molecules to affect cellular activity. Electrical micro-currents are induced in the cells of the body by the magnetic pulses, which activate the body’s systemic defense and repair mechanisms.

It is hypothesized that the PAP-IMI energy normalizes the trans-membrane potential (TMP) of cells. TMP is a measure of the internal bioenergy of a cell and is similar to the energy stored in a battery, although much more subtle. When the TMP reaches critically low levels, the cell can’t absorb nutrients and can cause inflammation and pain.

It is believed that the electrical micro-current induced by the PAP-IMI’s magnetic pulses restores the missing electrical charge in cells to overcome their low energy state. When the TMP is at a healthy level, the cells are able to return to their natural function, which includes repairing diseased tissue and growing healthy tissue. The PAP-IMI optimizes the body’s ability to heal itself.

In addition, treatment with the PAP-IMI apparently causes an increased porosity of the cell membranes, so that the cells’ ability to exchange materials with the environment is enhanced.

WHAT CONDITIONS CAN BE TREATED?

Positive results have been seen with conditions such as:

• Back Pain• Arthritis• Sprains• Tendonitis• Fibromyalgia• Sports Injuries• Fractures

• Post-op Recovery• Muscle & Joint Stiffness

CLINICAL TRIALS UNDERWAY

The PAP-IMI device has been in development for over twelve years. Bio-Energy Services, Inc., located in Tarzana, CA, is the principal site in an IRB-approved clinical effectiveness study. More than 200,000 people have used this pain-reducing therapy all over the world with no notable adverse reactions. In fact, remarkable relief of pain has been reported in many severe cases.

WORLDWIDE RESULTS

World-class athletes such as the San Francisco 49ers and the Austrian National Ski Team use the PAP-IMI to decrease recovery time and enhance performance.

WHY PAP-IMI?

This innovative form of pain therapy gives the body the energy to do what it’s capable of doing. It is not a cure, but it does alleviate pain and inflammation. PAP-IMI therapy shows promise especially if a diagnosis is not clear, or with conditions for which conventional medicine has no answers.

“The cell is a machine driven by energy. It can thus be approached by studying matter, or by studying energy. In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.”

Dr. Albert Szent-GyorgyiNobel Laureate in Medicine

PAP-IMI Background

Pain Remains a Major Medical Problem

Treatment of pain remains a major medical problem, especially in cases where the etiology is unidentified. Pain associated with any injury, ailment or medical condition are sometimes difficult to treat. Many of the current modes of pain therapy such as mild analgesics or topical creams may be ineffective, or in the case of antidepressants may have undesirable side effects, or may be invasive (e.g. nerve blocks).

Common magnetic measuring devices for the human body include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the super conducting quantum interference device (SQUID) which have been developed to measure weak magnetic signals throughout the body. More than ten years ago a pulsed electromagnetic field device (PEMF device) of the highest level ever achieved which pulsed for the shortest duration ever achieved, was shown to have strong powers in relieving pain. Animal testing was done in Athens, Greece, the home of the inventor, and safety and tolerance were established. Human testing was begun in the Social Security Hospital of Athens, and the numerous cases of pain relief brought attention to the device and the inventor, Dr. Panos T. Pappas.

Since 1993, the PAP-IMI has been used in Greece, and other countries around the world to eliminate the need of chemical pain relievers, salves, ointments and surgeries. Literally hundreds of back surgeries have been cancelled by those who used the device for one to three twenty minute sessions. Phantom limb pain has responded, as well as migraines, sprains, torn muscle pain, pain from new prosthetic devices, pain from tooth infections, ear infections, eye infections, sinus infections, angina pectoris, sub-lingul angina, dismenorhea, disperunia, hemorrhoids, pain and edema from a blow, such as auto accident or sports injury, old pains such as joint injuries of long standing history, pain associated with recovering from surgery, pain associated with neropathies, neuralgia, nerve damage, and even the burn weight lifters speak of when lactic acid is built up in the muscles.

Many initial controlled human studies suggest that the PAP-IMI relieves pain. There are now some 300 devices in use world wide, all of which have reported pain relief.

PAP-IMI Sessions

All the cells of the body have a weak, natural electric current flowing through them. The currents are caused by electrically charged particles in the cells called ions. Ions affect the metabolism, or the work of the cell. PEMF is a method of applying a magnetic field to the cell which converts the magnetic field into a weak electrical signal, influencing the interaction of the ions, and the flow of nutrients in the cell. Enhanced circulation and nutrient exchange can speed the healing process and reduce down time.

Pain Reduction

It is first necessary to understand the mechanism of pain transmission to understand how pain blocking can take place. Pain is transmitted along nerve cells as an electric signal. This encounters synaptic gaps at intervals. The pain signals are transmitted across the cleft in the form of a chemical signal. During quiescent times the cells possess a small charge of about –70mV between the inner and outer membranes. When a pain signal arrives it depolarizes the cell raising the potential to +30mV. This opens channels in the membrane allowing an inflow of ions which trigger exocytosis of synaptic vescicles. This releases the chemical transmitter, which diffuses into the synaptic gap. Once this has occurred the cell depolarizes to its previous level of –70mV.

Research by Warnke established that the application of pulsed magnetism has an effect on the quiescent potential of the synaptic membrane. It suggested that the effect is to lower the potential to a hyper polarized level of –90mV. When a pain signal is received 0it then has to raise the potential again in order to fire the transmitters but only achieves approximately +10mV. Since this is well below that necessary to fire the chemical transmitters, the pain signal is effectively blocked.

Effect on General Injuries

In terms of common injuries, bruising, etc. PEMF has been researched thoroughly. The effects on damaged tissue can be explained with regard to the cellular structure. Healthy cells in tissue have a membrane potential difference between the inner and outer membrane. This potential causes a steady flow of ions through the membrane pores. When the cell is damaged the membrane potential is raised and a larger than normal sodium inflow occurs. The net effect is that interstitial fluid is attracted to the area of damage and therefore swelling and edema occur.

The application of PEMF to damaged cells has been shown to help accelerate the re-establishing of normal cell potentials and hence increase the rate of healing and reduction in swelling.

Explanation of the Effects of the PAP-IMI

The principles by which the PAP-IMI work are several, beginning with the sub-atomic level. As the pulses expand and collapse through the tissue the very electrons are receiving energy. Due to the super fast pulse, the energy is not there long enough to create heat, there is not time for the neutrons to vibrate and create a thermal change; there is not time for an electron to jump orbit and express heat; there is time only for the actual spin on the electron to be increased, and this becomes stored energy. Studies have shown that biological processes that require a catalyst will take place with less catalyst (often none) when the area has been pulsed. Next level up, from the standpoint of quantum mechanics, the electron in shifting positions around an atomic nucleus generates a specific energy emission of magnetic resonance. The magnetic resonance field frequency of body tissue (and organs) is a product of the individual atomic, molecular, and cellular frequencies that make up that organ.


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

From the perspective of biophysics, the initial step of pain development (occurring from damaged tissue) is considered to be "disorder" of the magnetic resonance of a normal atom. When this disorder of magnetic resonance occurs the magnetic resonance of regular electrons at the atomic level exhibits a change (phase shift) which breaks and disturbs the once orderly communication pathway that is usually transmitted from atom to molecule, molecule to cell, cell to tissue, and tissue to organ. The pulsed fields of the PAP-IMI provide sufficient energy to restore this imbalance of the magnetic resonance as the atom is re-energized to a level that existed before the damage occurred. The stored energy in the faster turning electron is drawn out to effectively balance the disruption of the packet of energy that caused the phase shift, and allows harmony to return to the order of the atom.

Cell Membrane as Rectifier

In addition, it has been hypothesized by the late Charles Wallach, Ph.D. that the cell membrane acts as a rectifier under the condition of the super fast expanding and collapsing fields, which allows the transmembrane potential of the cell to be restored to normal levels. In part, this may be due to the transmutation of sodium into potassium during the ultra fast energy surge, as we can demonstrate that a process akin to cold fusion changes the element of sodium back into potassium (see www.papimi.gr web site). The vibrational forces of the field striking the cell membrane also strike the molecule on a deeper level, and this may have the ability to polarize the molecules or atoms, to thus enhance the combination of elements in chemical reactions.

It can be demonstrated that the PAP-IMI increases circulation within minutes of starting the first cycle. This further assists in the management of pain by taking away toxins from the area of damage.

“PLAYING IN ONE MORE KEY GAME CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAKING THE PLAYOFFS AND

WATCHING THEM ON TV.”

The PAP-IMI pulses an electromagnetic field into the body, which energizes the cells and assists the body in healing itself. This results in less pain, reduction of swelling, and increased range of motion in the affected areas.

The PAP-IMI is now undergoing clinical studies on pain management. Pain clinics, horse trainers, and sports teams use the device, experiencing excellent results. Additionally, the device has been used in Europe for 12 years in over 200,000 sessions without notable adverse affects.

The first professional test of the PAP-IMI in North America was with the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League. They saw positive results for a variety of ailments throughout the 2002-2003 seasons, including a reduction in games missed due to acute and chronic injuries. The PAP-IMI is now an everyday treatment in the 49ers training room, and a favorite among their players.

“I had a real sore heel. After one treatment I said “What did you do? My heel never felt this good!” I noticed a major difference the next morning after treatment”Terrell OwensWide Receiver

Hermann Maier, three time World Cup and two time Olympic gold medal skier, almost severed his leg in a near-fatal motorcycle accident in August of 2001. After dozens of medical procedures, he was introduced to the PAP-IMI in Europe. In January of 2003, he won the World Cup Super G at Kitzbuehel, Austria in only his second race following his recovery.

“No one expected him to walk again - let alone ski competitively,” said Austrian team coach Heini Bergmuller. “Winning world class races was never even considered. From now on, I’m treating every member of the team with the PAP-IMI device.”

John Keith using the PAP-IMI in the 49ers training room.

The San Francisco 49ers Football Team is the first authorized PAP-IMI study site in major league sports. They have had their PAP-IMI since October 2002, when Bio-Energy Sports Marketing Director Josh Silver spent three weeks with the team and their now retired head trainer – the legendary Lindsy McLean.

Since that time, 49ers trainers Todd Lazenby, Jeff Tanaka and Dionne Calhoun have gone through PAP-IMI training and have used the PAP-IMI to treat a wide range of injuries and ailments, including sprains, breaks and bruises.

As you can tell by some of the following quotes, 49ers players swear by the device they have affectionately nicknamed "the Thumper," lining up before and after games and practices to use it.

Torn Meniscus

Name: Kevan BarlowPosition: Running BackJersey # 32Date machine used: 11/24/02-12/5/02Player reported Injuries: Left knee injury (torn meniscus); old back injury

Report:In the trial period, Kevan used the machine two hours over a period of seven treatments. He came in for his first treatment (9 min) and reported pain in the back of his left knee. He also reported lower back pain from an old injury. After treatment, Kevan jumped off the treatment table and shouted "What did we do, my back feels great.” Kevan reported that this was the first time his lower back had felt this good in years. I saw him later that day at the game. He came up to me in the seating area to say "Thank you so much, my back feels awesome!" Later that day, Kevan tore the meniscus in his left knee during the game. Kevin came in for treatment two days later (12 min) on crutches. He had surgery the day before to shave some of the meniscus from his knee. He was upset that the doctor’s told him he could miss four games. We both noticed he had major swelling in his knee after surgery. His range of motion with the knee was very limited as well. After treatment, Kevan reported his knee felt "nice and loose" after treatment. Kevan camein two days later for his next treatment (18 min) He reported that he gave himself a treatment when I was gone yesterday. We both noticed that the swelling was reduced on his knee. He said the treatments make his knee "feel much better." Kevan came in the next morning for a treatment (15 min). We both noticed the swelling in his knee had gone down even further. Kevan reported he felt his "range of motion getting better" in his knee. Kevan also reported that he is treating twice a day, once with me and once on his own. Kevan returned the next day for a treatment (12 min). Kevan said that his knee was "not as bad today." We both noticed the swelling in his knee was reduced even further. I noticed he was not limping like he was right after surgery. Kevan had to leave treatment early today, but said he would give himself a treatment later in the day. Kevan returned for treatment the next morning (25 min). He said that he notices a "range of motion increase since using this machine." We both noticed Kevan was no longer limping or using his crutches to walk. He said he would give himself a second treatment later in the day. Kevan also reported his knee "feels stronger every day." Kevan returned for his final treatment the next morning (24 min). Kevan said his knee was sore from a morning workout. After treatment, Kevan reported "I noticed significant pain reduction after treatment today!" We both noticed that the swelling in his knee had subsided tremendously. Kevan return to playing a week later. He was originally expected to miss about four games. He returned to action after missing only two games.

Overview:When Kevan was first introduced to the machine, he was willing to try something "all the

other guys tried." After his first treatment, Kevan became a major supporter of the machine. He noticed pain relief on his back injury that had been bothering him since college. Kevan also noticed many results on his knee. He consistently reported pain relief and an increased range of motion every time he treated. There was even a few times I had to tell him to stop using the machine, as he did not need give himself too much energy in one day. Kevan also "recruited" his teammates to try the PAP-IMI. He became so excited with his own results he even nicknamed the machine "The Thumper”, and referred to me as "Thump." I believe that Kevan understands the results his body achieved from treating. We were able to see his range of motion increase, while his pain and swelling was reduced. Not to mention that Kevan returned to action two games sooner than originally thought, thus cutting his recovery time in half. I believe Kevan would recommend this machine to all other professional athletes.

Nerve Damage In Shoulder / Broken Foot

Name: Zack BronsonPosition: SafetyJersey # 31Date machine used: 11/27/02-12/5/02Player reported Injuries: Broken left foot (screw in left foot), possible nerve damage in left shoulder

Report:In the trial period, Zack used the machine 21/4 hours over a period of 8 treatments. During the first minute of his first treatment (6 min), Zack noticed immediate relief of the ache in his left shoulder. He said that he felt it "go right to the spot" of where he had though he had nerve damage. We both noticed that area had a strong, continuous involuntary muscle spasm, with each pulse of the machine. Although the pulse was a bit discomforting in his area of pain, Zack said noticed immediate relief after the first treatment. The next day, Zack had two treatments (12 min and 18 min) He noted that his shoulder felt "much better" and he wanted to treat the shoulder and his foot today. Again, he noticed significant relief on his shoulder, and noted he "felt it directly in the area of his pain." In the next series of treatments (18 min, 18 min), Zack, said that his shoulder relief was starting to last longer and longer after treatments. He also noted that his foot/ankle area was "a little bit looser" and that he noticed minor pain relief in his foot. We both saw that the involuntary muscle spasms in his shoulder were not as strong as before and his area of pain has been reduced. In his final two treatments (21 min, 21 min), we were able to adjust the machine to a higher setting on his shoulder. This was an important step, as the increase in setting did not increase his discomfort during treatment. He noted that his shoulder was "feeling great" and he would like to stick with the treatments. Zack and I could plainly see that the shoulder was spiraling far less than when the treatments began, and that his shoulder relief is significant. He also noted that he only had "a little pain" in his foot.

Overview:When Zack was first introduced to the machine, he seemed very skeptical. He was willing to try it because a few other players had told him that they had noticed relief from the machine. In a little over a week, Zack became a big believer in the machine. He was very excited to find something that "found" his area of pain, and he could feel it working directly on the area. He became a big proponent of the machine, and brought other players in for treatment. Even his attitude seemed to improve, as he seemed to feel as though he found something to help get him back on the field quicker.

Abdominal / Hip Pain; Dislocated Elbow

Name: Tony ParrishPosition: SafetyJersey # 33Date machine used: 11/19/02-12/5/02Player reported Injuries: Abdominal/hip pain; dislocated elbow, partially torn biceps

Report:In the trial period, Tony used the machine 21/2 hours over a period of 9 treatments. He complained of abdominal muscle pain, to the point that it would affect him most dramatically at night. He also noted that his hip and pelvic region had lingering pain from being "reset" in the off season. During the trial period, Tony dislocated his elbow, and partially tore his biceps muscle. When we first began treatment, Tony’s chief complaint was that his sleep was interrupted by abdominal pain. After his first treatment (15 min), Tony noted that he "liked how he felt" and that he had "felt relief during sleep", as he did not wake up in the middle of the night. His second treatment (18 min) seemed to give him even more relief, as he wanted to treat his back and groin as well. He noted that after his second treatment, he was "more flexible in abs and groin area." Tony came in for a third consecutive day for his third treatment (18 min). He noted that his sleep pattern had gotten better, and he "seemed more energized." The fourth treatment Tony received (18 min). The main difference in this treatment is that for the first time, Tony did not take a cold tub before treatment. He said that for the first time, he felt it "right on the abs" He noted that he had noticed minor groin relief, as well. Tony took a week offbetween treatments. When he came back for his first treatment in a week (18 min), he said that "He felt good the last week" and that the relief has been pretty good". The next day (the day before the game), Tony came back for another treatment (15 min) He noted that he "slept much better" last night. During the game, he tore the biceps muscle in his arm and dislocated his elbow. Tony came back for his next set of treatments three days later. His first treatment after this injury (24 min) we focused the energy solely on his right arm. The swelling was so significant on his right arm, that it was twice the size of his left arm. During treatment, the arm was a bit sensitive, as the injury was fresh. He said that there may have been a little return of range of motion, but he was not sure. Tony came to treat his arm again the next morning (12 min). We noticed that some swelling had subsided, as heavy bruising was evident. We also noticed that the swelling was reduced, as the arm was much more sensitive to treat. Although the area looked much damaged, Tony noted that the "range of motion was getting better." During the third consecutive day of treatment (18 min), we both noted that the flexibility was improving, and the swelling was being reduced, as it was easier to place the probe through Tony’s arm. He also noted that the treatments were "less sensitive" as they were before. Tony’s felt his arm was well enough to play in that week’s game, as well.

Overview:When Tony was first introduced to the machine, he was unsure what it did, but he was willing to try if it will help him. Tony seemed to notice many positive results on him, as measured by his unprompted willingness to continue treatments. We were able to note great results for Tony in a few areas, most notably his hip/abdominal are, and his right arm. Tony was most pleased with the fact that he was waking up in the middle of the night with abdominal pain far less frequently than before. However, the results on his arm were far more significant. The use of treatments on his arm, in conjunction with the trainer’s treatments seemed to have some significant results on him. So much so, that although in a cast, Tony was named NFL defensive player of the week, only one week after his injury occurred. Even the 49ers team website noted that "…although the elbow was markedly swollen the following day and the medical staff felt there was little chance he would play that week, Parrish persevered. Fitted with a special brace he helped the team clinched a division with two interceptions in the game against Dallas…" Tony was also given two

Shoulder Injuries

Name: Ben LynchPosition: CenterJersey # 60Date machine used: 11/19/02-12/5/02Player reported Injuries: Major lack of stability/pain in left shoulder

Report:In the trial period, Ben used the machine 31/2 hours over a period of 14 treatments. He said his chief complaint was the pain in his shoulder, but more specifically he said, "The shoulder feels very unstable". During his very first treatment, Ben noted that he "Felt it right on the spot that had been painful" We both noticed that he had some significant involuntary muscle spasms running down his entire left arm during treatment. He also said the area was sensitive during treatment. He did note that right after his first treatment, he experienced minor pain relief. Ben had his second treatment the next day (21 min). He came in to report that he was "interested" in what we were doing. He wanted more energy this time and wanted to treat his entire shoulder area. After that second treatment, Ben noted that the shoulder was less painful, he felt a small return of range of motion and he felt good relief. Ben had a third treatment the following day (21 min). His first words to me that day were "The area of pain is getting smaller." He put the probe on the areas of need himself today and said that he "likes the results he is getting". Ben had his fourth treatment (18 min) the next day. He said he felt "less groggy in the morning". During the treatment, we both noticed that the involuntary muscle spasms were far less strong than during the first treatment. Ben had a partial treatment (9 min) the following day. Our time was limited because of team meeting requirements. However, he did tell me he had less pain underneath the shoulder (the area he felt was unstable). The following morning Ben had a series of treatments (12 min, and time unknown) He said that he "feels good and notices improvement in the shoulder." Ben also noted that he "wakes up early" now, something he never used to do. As the day before the game was busy for treatments, we were only able to give him a partial A.M. treatment. However, he gave himself the second treatment on his own, sometime later in the day. Ben did not treat the next day because it was game day, however he did come in the morning after the game. Ben came in extra early the day after the game and with the trainers help got a treatment (24 min). I saw him later in the day and he noted that "His right shoulder was sore after the game (new injury)", but it felt "much better right after treatment". Ben went on to say that "He knows this (treatment) is good for him." This was the second treatment in a row that Ben came and gave him treatment. For the next two days, Ben came in for a partial treatment (9 min, 9 min) He said that "It seems he needs less energy now" and that he has "noticed significant improvement since his first treatment" Ben also noted that his left shoulder soreness is a "different type of sore now" and it is more and more stable. Ben came in for longer treatments for the next two days (21 min, 21 min). He reported that he notices "stabilization is better" and he "just has muscle soreness instead of pain now" In fact he went on to say, "The muscle soreness is not like the pain he had before the treatments" and he "notices pain relief right away". The next day, Ben had a shorter treatment (12 min). We adjusted the machine to its highest setting (1.5 pps). Ben said he noticed the difference immediately on the higher setting. He said he "notices a difference before and after treatment" Ben came in the next two days for treatment on the higher setting (9 min, 12 min) During his finaltwo treatments, Ben commented that he "has noticed great relief since treating" and that "the stability in his shoulder is good".

Overview:When Ben was first introduced to the machine, he was very open to trying this type of treatment. He had an ankle injury a few years back. Ben said that different types of


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

treatments had not worked on it, but an alternative practitioner with the use of an acupuncture type device had been the only thing to relieve his pain. From the very beginning, Ben seemed to get results from the treatments, as indicated by his continual use of the machine and the fact that he made a strong effort to continue his treatments by treating on his own. Ben treated 6,5 and 4 consecutive days, his treatment days only interrupted by game day It became obvious that he was receiving tremendous results by his reduction in pain, his improvement in range of motion, and the return of stabilization to his left shoulder. He would be the first to speak of the benefits of the PAP-IMI and what the energy has helped his body do.

Shoulder Injuries

Name: Josh ShawPosition: Defensive TackleJersey # 93Date machine used: 11/24/02-12/5/02Player reported Injuries: Left shoulder injury

Report:In the trial period, Josh used the machine 11/4 hours over a period of six treatments. Josh came in for his first treatment and reported his left shoulder was "really sore." Josh said he had taken a hit during practice a few weeks back, and the shoulder had not felt the same since. During the treatment, Josh reported he "feels it in the shoulder a lot." We both noticed some involuntary muscle spasms on his shoulder from each pulse of the machine. After the treatment, he reported that his shoulder "felt warm and loose." Josh returned for treatment two days later (12 min). He said his left shoulder was still sore, but he "felt some relief" from the last treatment. After the treatment Josh again said it felt "warm and loose." Josh returned later that day for a second treatment (15 min). The first treatment of the day made his shoulder "feel better", so he wanted a second treatment after practice. After the treatment, Josh said that his shoulder "wasn’t really that sore anymore." Josh returned three days later for his next treatment (9 min). Josh reported that his left shoulder "has no more pain." He also said that he didn’t really have pain today, but it "feels looser today." We both noticed that he shoulder did not spasm as intensely as it did during his first treatment. Josh returned for treatment three days later (12 min). He reported that his "shoulder range of motion was great today." After treatment Josh reported that his shoulder "feels pretty good. He also noted his shoulder was not as sore during treatment. Josh returned for his final treatment two days later (12 min). Josh said his shoulder "has been getting better and feeling stronger lately." He also noted that he "really enjoys treatments." We both noticed that the involuntary muscle spasms he had during his first treatments, had subsided.

Overview:When Josh was first introduced to the PAP-IMI, he was willing to try it because his roommate, Jerome Davis used the machine. From the first treatment, Josh felt the machine go right to his area of pain. We noticed an improvement in the range of motion of his shoulder, and his pain area was reduced. Josh and I also noticed that the nerve damage that caused his shoulder muscle to spasm seemed to subside greatly. I feel that Josh enjoys treatments, and he notices positive results on his body. I also feel he would recommend the PAP-IMI to other professional athletes.

Lower Back Pain / Fracture

Name: Eric JohnsonPosition: Tight EndJersey # 82Date machine used: 11/21/02-12/5/02Player reported Injuries: Lower back/ Lumbar; upper left and right hip

Report:In the trial period, Eric used the machine 21/2 hours over a period of 10 treatments. His chief complaint was back pain in the lumbar area, and on his upper left and right hip. During his first treatment (12 min), Eric reported that,”there was pain during treatment in certain spots," but he said that immediately after treatment he "Felt instant relief on his back pain." Eric jumped up at the end of the treatment and started hopping on either leg as to cause the back pain to happen. He was surprised that he had no more pain and said "I could play right now" but, he also wanted to know how long the pain relief would last. Eric came in the next morning for his second treatment (15 min). He reported that he "is pleased with the results" so far. Eric also reported that "it is still intense during treatment, but the back feels better." He also asked to treat his left foot today. Eric came in two days later (the day before the game) for his third treatment (12 min). He noted that his back "was feeling better in the morning". He also said that "the back is still sore, but I notice a difference from the first treatment to now", and that he "gets the most relief right after treatment." Eric came in the day after the game for treatment (6 min). He said he "had a little pain on game day, but it felt good in the morning" Eric only had a few minutes this day, but he said he stopped in "just to treat today". Eric came in to treat after practice two days later (12 min). He reported that it was painful after practice, so he came in specifically to get some treatment. Directly after this treatment, Eric again noted immediate relief of his back pain. Eric came in again the next morning for treatment (18 min). He asked to add his chest and top of head to treatment from now on. Again, Eric reported that he has "immediate relief right after treatment." He said that he very much "enjoys the machine pulses". He reported that the original source of pain (left hip/back area) had subsided, but he still had pain in the right area. Eric came in the next day for his third day of treatment in a row (12 min day before the game) He said that he "had some soreness today after practice, but not like before" He also noted that his "back felt better today before treatment, but great after treatment". We were able to turn the machine up higher for treatments today (2 pps). Eric came in the day after the game for treatment (15 min) He reported that his back was "still feeling better". Eric noted that it was "not as painful during treatments" Eric went on to say that he thought he got a minor concussion during the game. I treated his head today, and he said "It felt good on his head". Two days later, Eric came in for another treatment ( 27 min). He was very happy his injury was healing and reported his back was "tremendously better". He also reported that his "head felt good today". Eric had his final treatment the following morning (18 min). He said he had a new injury (turf toe) and wanted to treat it as well today. He reported that his "back pain was much better" than it been before treatments.

Overview:When Eric was first introduced to the machine, he was frustrated that his injury had lasted so long and that he had not played in quite sometime. Eric and I both noticed many positive results on himself. Every time his back pain would flair up, he came in on his own for treatments, and experienced pain relief. I noticed that from his first treatment to his last, he had a great reduction of pain, coupled with an increase of range of motion. His back was less painful after each treatment and the pain was less intense each time during the treatments. His behavior changed as his attitude became more and more positive after each treatment. As his back felt better, he was able to practice and play in the games. Even


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

after the first treatment, when Eric "hopped around" trying to "re injure" his back, his attitude improved because he knew he had found something that would help him return to action sooner. During the trial period, Eric became a strong proponent of the machine as exhibited by his willingness to come for treatments of his own accord and his encouragement of other players to try the machine.

Plantar Fasciitis; Groin Injury

Name: Terrell OwensPosition: Wide ReceiverJersey # 81Date machine used: 11/20/02-12/4/02Player reported Injuries: Very sore right heel (plantar fasciitis); Right groin

Report:In the trial period, Terrell used the machine 31/4 hours over a period of 9 treatments. His chief complaint was a painful right heel. He said that "it was sore to make cuts and turns on." During his first treatment (12 min), Terrell reported that the "treatment felt good." I noticed that he walked out of the room with far less of a limp than when he walked in. Terrell came in the next day for treatment (15 min). He reported that the heel "was still sore walking on it", but was surprised that his pain "didn’t come back in the evening" as it had been doing before treatment. He asked me to treat his lower back today as well. Terrell came in the next day for his third consecutive treatment (15 min). The first thing he said was "What did you do? Its (his right heel) never felt this good." He seems to enjoy the treatments a lot, as he fell asleep during treatment today. Terrell came in the next morning for his fourth treatment in a row (12 min). He said that his "heel feels good" and that his "acceleration is better today." Terrell fell asleep during treatment again, and had to be woken up when the treatment was finished. Terrell came in for a fifth consecutive treatment the day before the game (24 min). He reported that the heel "feels better in the morning," and he "has a lot more range of motion." Terrell also reported that he "notices a major difference" from treatments. Terrell fell asleep during treatments again today, and had to be woken up when the treatments were complete. Terrell came in two days later for treatment (24 min). He asked me to turn the machine settings up higher today. Terrell reported that the heel "is feeling much better," and he "notices a difference" from doing these treatments. Yet again, Terrell fell asleep during treatment, and I had to wake him when he was done with the treatment. Terrell came in the day before the game for more treatment (30 min). He reported that his heel was sore after yesterday’s practice, and his right groin was bothering him. Again, Terrell fell asleep during treatment. When treatment was finished, he reported that "notices relief after treatment," and feels that "this thing is worthwhile." Terrell came in the day after the game for more treatment (30 min). He said his groin was sore after game day, but the heel was not bothering him like it had been. Like usual, Terrell fell asleep during treatment. I woke him after treatment, and he again reported that he "notices relief right after treatment". Terrell came in the day before the game for his final treatment (30 min). The first thing he said was that his groin and heel "feel better today," and he notices improvement" since the last treatment. Terrell fell asleep during treatment again today. When he woke up, he reported that he "was feeling much better" now.

Overview:When Terrell was first introduced the machine, he was unsure about how this was going to help his heel. He felt he had nothing to lose, so he thought he would give it a try. Terrell and I both noticed he received immediate results from using the machine. Terrell’s pain was reduced, his range of motion was increased, and by the time the trial period ended, he became a definite proponent of the machine. We can see this based on the fact that from his first treatment to his last, he repeatedly reported pain relief, and the duration of relief lasted longer and longer each time. He noted that his ability to accelerate and cut increased. We can also see that Terrell received great results based on his own willingness to continue treatments. Not to mention the fact that Terrell was consistently falling asleep


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

during treatments, a sign of relaxation and pain relief. Terrell also became active in the treatments of his teammates as well. He encouraged other players to get treatment, even telling J.J. Stokes to "put it on your back for ten minutes, it feels real good that way." Terrell obviously believes in the efficacy of the machine.

Pulled Groin / Hip Injury

Name: Garrison HearstPosition: Running BackJersey # 20Date machine used: 11/20/02-12/3/02Player reported Injuries: Painful right shoulder pulled right groin muscle, painful hips and left ankle (old injury)

Report:In the trial period, Garrison used the machine for 2 hours over a period of 6 treatments. He said that his shoulder and groin were the main areas of pain, and the hip and ankle pain was intermittent. During his first treatment (21 min), Garrison said the treatment "relaxed him" and that he felt pain in his shoulder "right on the area" during treatment. We both noticed involuntary muscle spasms on his right shoulder during treatment Garrison came in for treatment the next morning (27 min). He noted that "the right shoulder feels better" and asked for it to be treated first. Garrison also reported that his groin "seemed more relaxed and flexible today" He felt a little pain in his tailbone are during treatment, but said his hips were "feeling better" right after treatment. I noticed that the limp his groin injury had given him was far less pronounced after the second treatment. Garrison received his next treatment two days later (18 min), the day before the game. He reported that he has been "waking up feeling good" in the mornings now. He also noted that is "feeling better" and he "relaxes when it’s on my shoulder." Garrison had his next treatment the day after the game (18 min). We had a chance to talk about his own results from using the machine. He said that he did feel a difference fromtreating and noted that "I told Lindsy (Head Trainer) and all them (Management) they need to buy this thing." Garrison knew the areas he wanted to treat before coming in today, and wanted to get rid of his "after game soreness." Garrison reported his body feeling better after today’s treatment. Garrison did not come in for a treatment for the next five days. I saw him in the locker room during this "break" and he reported that he was "feeling good" and didn’t have any pain or soreness to treat. Garrison came in for his final treatment five days after his last one (30 min). He reported that his hamstring was doing "much better." Garrison also noted that he notices major relief in "both the shoulder and hamstring." He went on to tell me he discussed the machine with management and told them "it worked." He also told me "When it goes right to the pain, I know its working." We both noticed that the involuntary muscle spasm on right shoulder was significantly reduced from the first treatment to the last.

Overview:When Garrison was first introduced to the machine, he was unsure what we were doing, but he was willing to give the machine "a try." Garrison and I both noticed great results from his treatments. From the first treatment, Garrison reported that he felt it "go right to the spot of pain" and he knew it was working. He consistently reported feeling relief after treatments in his shoulder and groin. I know that he had other players such as Fred Beasley treat a few times. This not only shows a belief in his own results, but a desire for his teammates to experience the results as well. Garrison also stated that he told several members of management that this machine has made a difference on his injuries in the short time of the trial period. I think that Garrison summed up his belief in the efficacy of this machine when he said, "When it goes right to the pain, I know it is working."

Name: Fred BeasleyPosition: Running BackJersey # 40Date machine used: 11/19/02-12/3/02Player reported Injuries: Sore foot, right groin pull, and sore hip.

Report:In the trial period, Fred used the machine 11/2 hours over a period of five treatments. He came in for his first treatment limping (12 min). Fred was wearing a soft case and his foot was too sore to walk on before his first treatment. During the first treatment, Fred reported "feeling it" in his lower back area when we treated his hip... When the treatment was finished, he said he had minor ankle relief and his groin "felt better." Fred came for treatment the next day (18 min). We both noticed that he could walk on the foot today. He reported having relief in the heel of his foot. During treatment, Fred reported that his hip was sore today, so we had to turn the machine setting down (4 pps). Fred came in the next day for his third consecutive day of treatment (15 min). He reported that his hip/groin area was "less painful", so we were able to adjust the machine to a higher setting. Fred also reported that his "foot seemed to be OK today" and I noticed he no longer had a limp. Fred took a break from treatment and returned nine days later for his next treatment (12 min). He reported that his groin was sore again. After his treatment, Fred reported thathis groin "feels better right after treatment" and he hopes the relief will last. Fred came in for his final treatment three days later (18 min). He reported feeling "better in the morning" now. We both noticed that the limp he had prior to the first treatment, was gone.

Overview:When Fred was first introduced to the machine, Fred reported that "some of the guys told me to try this thing." Fred and I both noticed that he experienced positive results on both his groin and foot. Fred reported feeling a return to his range of motion, and pain relief in his groin area. Fred received the best results when treating a few days in a row. I believe it is fair to say that he would have received even better results had he treated more consistently.


Name: Jeff ChandlerPosition: KickerJersey # 3Date machine used: 12/2/02-12/6/02Player reported Injuries: Right hip pain

Report:In the trial period, Jeff used the machine 11/2 hours over a period of five treatments. Jeff came in for his first treatment (9 min) and reported having a painful right hip. During treatment Jeff said he "felt it right on the spot" of his painful hip. After treatment, he said he "notices hip relief right away and it feels good." Jeff continued with treatments the next day (12min). He reported that his hip "feels better" this morning. Jeff also commented that he enjoys the treatments, and notices a difference from treating on the PAP-IMI. Jeff came in for his third treatment the following afternoon (30 min). He said he re-injured his hip during practice, and it was "very painful today." I increased his treatment today to a full session. After treatment Jeff said he "felt relief during treatment." He seemed to be more relaxed and in less pain after the treatment. Jeff came in the following morning to continue treatments (15 min). He reported that he "notices major relief" from yesterday to today, and


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

he attributes it to use of the machine. He was so pleased with his results; he asked to increase treatments to twice a day. He gave himself a second treatment later on that day. Jeff came in the next morning for his final treatment (15 min). He said that his hip "felt fine" this morning. Jeff also reported feeling a lot better today, after treatment.

Overview:When Jeff was first introduced to the machine, he was very willing to try it. He said he had seen his other teammates use the machine, and heard they had experienced positive results. Jeff noticed pain relief immediately after the first treatment. This was a pleasant surprise for Jeff to see results so quickly. We both noticed that his continual treatments helped him reduce his hip pain, and maintain his range of motion. This pleased Jeff as his range of motion is critical to his success as a kicker. Jeff continually reported enjoying the treatments a lot, as evidenced by his consistent use of the machine upon introduction to it. I believe that because he saw so many positive results on himself, in a short period of time, Jeff would recommend the PAP-IMI to other professional athletes as well.

Elbow Inflammation

Name: Jerome DavisPosition: Defensive EndJersey # 67Date machine used: 11/27/02-11/28/02Player reported Injuries: Painful/sore right elbow

Report:In the trial period, Jerome used the machine half an hour over a period of two treatments. He said his roommate, Josh Shaw told him to "try this machine on his sore elbow." During his first treatment (12 min) Jerome reported "feeling it" right in the area of his elbow soreness. When the treatment was finished, he said the elbow felt "looser." Jerome came in the next morning for his final treatment (12 min). He reported that the elbow felt "looser in the morning." After this treatment, he noted that the elbow felt "warm and loose." He also noted that the shoulder stiffness he had seemed to be gone. I saw Jerome a few times after his final treatment with me. He did say that the machine helped him. I asked him why he has not come back to get a treatment from me and he said "I always have to get in line and wait." I found out that he gave himself a few treatments when everyone had gone home.

Overview:When Jerome was first introduced to the machine, he seemed eager to try it because his roommate had told him some of the benefits he received from using it. Although I only gave him two treatments, both Jerome and I were able to notice some pain relief to his elbow. He also seemed to notice results based on the fact that he came in to treat on his own a few times. I think that even though he only had a few treatments, he was able to experience some positive results.

came in for his first treatment (15 min) and reported having elbow pain, and some joint stiffness. During his first treatment, we both noticed significant involuntary muscle spasms from his fingers. After his first treatment, Tim reported he "felt a little better." He also reported feeling "more relaxed." Tim received a second treatment the following day (15 min). He asked to be treated on his elbow and his shoulder. During treatment, Tim mentioned having discomfort in his right shoulder during treatment. After treatment, Tim said he was "feeling better." Tim had his third treatment the following day (12 min). He was very quiet today, and seemed to sleep during most of the treatment. During treatment, Tim did say that he had "no pain on the right shoulder during treatment." Tim continued his treatments the next day (12 min). Tim appeared to be very comfortable with using the machine; it seems to relax him. He reported that his elbow is "feeling a little better, but it goes in and out." Time came in for treatment two days later (18 min). He reported that his elbow is "not as bad as it was in the morning." Tim also said he is "waiting for something dramatic to happen." Tim took a six day break from treatments. He returned for treatment (15 min) and reported that his arm has been "feeling better" since the last treatment. He also noted that he "notices pain relief in his arm sometimes." Tim came in the next day for his final treatment (12 min). He reported "feeling a bit better today." During his final treatment, we both noticed his fingers do not spasm as much during treatment anymore.

Overview:When Tim was first introduced to the machine, he seemed skeptical that a machine could help his elbow pain. His elbow pain was intermittent, so it was hard for Tim to describe all of his symptoms and the location the pain seemed to stem from. We both noticed some positive results on Tim. He mentioned numerous times that he felt very relaxed during treatment. This relaxation seemed to change his attitude to a much more positive one. Tim also noted having pain relief. Although his pain relief was intermittent, I noticed Tim to have the most discomfort on days he did not use the machine. We also noticed a reduction in the involuntary muscle spasms from Tim’s fingers. I believe that we saw some positive results from Tim’s treatments, however if Tim had treated on regular basis, instead of intermittently we would see even better results.

Sprained Ankle

Name: Ahmed PlummerPosition: CornerbackJersey # 29Date machine used: 11/27/02-12/6/02Player reported Injuries: Left ankle sprain (wore a "walking cast")

Report:In the trial period, Ahmed used the machine 21/2 hours over a period of 9 treatments. We focused the treatments solely on his ankle area. Ahmed’s treatments were given twice a day, with the exception of his last treatment. After the first treatment of day 1 (15 min), Ahmed noticed the ankle felt "a little bit looser" in the swollen area. When he came back for his second treatment that 1st day (15 min), Ahmed noted that the ankle was "feeling better already." He seemed relaxed and interested in what the machine was doing. The next day he had a series of treatments (18 min, 18 min). When he woke up that morning, he noted that the range of motion in the ankle was better, and he had some minor pain relief. After his second treatment of the 2nd day, Ahmed said his ankle was "not as painful and the movement was better because the soreness was going away." Ahmed re injured his ankle in the game after this treatment. He came back to treat two days after the game. He noted that the ankle has been tender and sore ever since the game. He received two treatments that day (15 min, 18 min). After the second treatment that day, Ahmed reported that the ankle "Felt better after the A.M. treatment" but it "felt much better" after the second treatment that day. Ahmed came in for a series of treatments the next day (18 min, 18 min). He brought in his own water to treat on the machine as well. The first thing he reported was that when he woke up, the ankle "Feels a lot better today." He also reported that after the


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

first treatment of the day, he "noticed immediate relief" of his ankle soreness, and before his second treatment of that day, said "It feels better since the 1st treatment of the day." Before Ahmed’s final treatment the next day, he reported the ankle is doing"much better" than before, and brought his own case of water this time, so that he "had some pulsed water to bring to Dallas with him."

Overview:When Ahmed was first introduced to the machine, he seemed relaxed and very interested in what the machine was doing. He said that, "Word got around the locker room" to try this machine. Ahmed obviously noticed positive results on himself, as supported by his continual treatments of his own volition. He felt that if he had tried the machine sooner, he might not have re-sprained the ankle in the Seattle game. He continually commented about the positive effects and results he was receiving from treatments, especially his own recovery time from injury. I noticed that as he continued treating his noticeable limp subsided, and I saw him wearing his "walking cast" less and less.

Sprained Ankle

Name: Derrick DeesePosition: TackleJersey # 63Date machine used: 11/19/02-12/6/02Player reported Injuries: Sprained right ankle

Report:In the trial period, Derrick used the machine 8 hours over a period of twenty treatments. Derrick came in for his first treatment (12 min) and reported he had a severely sprained right ankle. He said the injury was a nagging one, and would not heal because he continued to play on it. He walked in on crutches with a pronounced limp the first day of treatment. During the first treatment, Derrick said the treatment "felt weird, but good." Derrick came in the next morning for his second treatment (30 min). He said he wanted a full thirty minute treatment today. Derrick reported that he "felt less pain immediately after treatment." Derrick received his next treatment the following day (30 min). When he came in today, he already knew the areas of his body he wanted to treat. I noticed he relaxed and fell asleep during most of the treatment today. He reported that he "noticed relief in part of my ankle and the range of motion seemed better." Derrick continued his treatments the following day (30 min). He spent a lot of time today asking me questions about how the machine worked, what it was doing to his body, and why he noticed a difference in his body from treatments. Derrick also reported his ankle was "feeling better." Derrick came in the following afternoon for his fifth day of treatment (15 min). He had to cut his treatment time in half because of a team meeting. Derrick reported that his "Left ankle is feeling much better.” He also reported that he feels "Great in the morning", and he does not need to use his alarm clock anymore. Derrick also noted he was discussing this machine with his agent, and requested that literature on the machine be sent to him. The following day, Derrick came in for his sixth consecutive day of treatment (24 min). Derrick told me that his "sleep pattern is very good" and he seems more rested from treatments. After treatment, Derrick reported that his ankle "is not as painful as it should be for this type of injury." Derrick continued his treatments two days later (18 min, 30 min). He reported that he had read the case histories literature, and wanted to try a different protocol. He wanted to treat two times a day, for twenty minutes. (This same protocol was used for a study on ankle sprains in professional soccer players.) Derrick noted his ankle was "not as sore as usual" after the last game. After his second treatment of the day, Derrick reported his ankle was "much better." Derrick continued his treatments the following day with two sessions (18 min, 18 min). Derrick reported that when he woke up this morning he "had a lot less pain" in the ankle. He also noted that at night he "fell asleep a lot quicker." Derrick and I both noticed that he does not limp like before his first treatment. Derrick also stopped using crutches to support his ankle. Derrick came in the next morning to continue his treatments (15 min, 30

min). He reported that he "felt a lot better today." Derrick also reported that he "seems to notice it helping him." During the second treatment Derrick noted that "treating two times a day seems to increase the pain relief." He also told me that he "comes and treats on his own" from time to time. Derrick returned for treatment the following day (24 min). He reported that he had treated on his own in the morning, so he only needed one treatment from me today. He said he wanted to make sure to get "full of energy" the day before the game. Derrick noted that he has "less and less pain each day." Derrick returned the day after the game for treatment (30 min). During the game, he re-sprained his ankle. Derrick reported that his ankle was "very painful after the game and it’s (the pain) spreading up my leg." We both noticed that the fresh injury had caused some swelling to the ankle area. After the treatment, Derrick reported his ankle "feels better after treatment." Derrick returned for treatment the following morning (30 min). Derrick reported that his ankle was "feeling better already this morning." We both noticed his limp began to subside. During treatment, Derrick began to flex or "workout" the ankle. He said it was "a little bit painful" but he could feel the range of motion returning to his ankle when he did this during treatment. After the treatment, Derrick said he would treat on his own, later in the day. Derrick came in the next day for a series of treatments (21 min, 30 min). He immediately reported that his ankle "Felt good in the morning." And his area of pain was reduced. Derrick said that he enjoys the treatments, and he "knows its working for me." After the first treatment of the day, Derrick also said that his ankle "felt a lot better after treatment today." We both noticed that a lot of the swelling in his ankle subsided. Derrick continued with treatments the following day (21 min 30 min). Derrick noted that his "area of pain in the ankle is much reduced today.” He asked to try our "treated water" for the first time. Derrick commented that he "could taste the difference" in the treated water. He consistently relaxes during treatment and comment after treatment today that he "felt relief from the morning until evening." Derrick came in the following day for his final treatment (15 min). He said he has noticed having a "good energy level" since treatments. Also, he said he feels much better in the morning from treatments. We both noticed the swelling in his ankle was just about gone.

Overview:When Derrick was first introduced to the machine, he was very curious as to how this machine was going to help them. By the time trial period ended, Derrick was the machine's largest supporter. There are many factors that led me this conclusion. Derrick treated himself longer than any other member of the team. In three weeks, he logged over eight hours worth of treatments, all of his own volition!! He brought at least three or four of his teammates in for treatments as well as he would often "yell" at teammates passing by, to "try this thing out." We noticed many positive results on Derrick as well. In the 20 treatments he received, we a saw a significant relief of pain. Derrick’s ankle injury had been bothering him all season, to the point where he missed significant playing time throughout the season. Derrick noted numerous times, over a period of weeks that he feels pain relief each and every time he received a treatment. We also noticed a significant reduction of swelling. On a few different occasions, we noticed that the swelling was reduced significantly immediately following treatment. In the trial period, we also noted an increase in range of motion. Derrick would continually "flex and stretch" his ankle area during treatment. The significance of this is that he was usually unable to walk on it, or flex it to this extent, before each treatment began. Only during/after the treatment could he "flex and stretch" the ankle. Of all the players treated during the three week trial period, Derrick seemed to respond to the machine the best. From hi attitude improving, to his pain reduced, to his overall energy level, Derrick noticed many positive results. I believe that Derrick fully believes in the efficacy of the PAP-IMI and would recommend it to other athletes.

Sprained Ankle

Jersey # 95Date machine used: 11/20/02-11/28/02Player reported Injuries: painful right ankle

Report:In the trial period, John used the machine a total of 30 minutes over a period of five treatments. He came in for his first treatment (3 min) and reported pain in his ankle joint. John left to go to a team meeting in the middle of his first treatment, so he only received a short treatment. The next morning John came in for his second treatment (9 min). John reported the ankle was "a little better" from the short treatment he received yesterday. He left after nine minutes to go to practice, but reported feeling better "right after treating it." John received his third consecutive treatment the next day (3 min). He reported that it was "still sore in the A.M. but it feels good after treating it." He had to leave treatment early for a team meeting, and he apparently completed the treatment that evening by himself. Two days later, John came in for his fourth treatment (6 min). He said that noticed that his "ankle was looser," and that he "no longer had pain when pushing off the ankle." John came in for his final treatment four days after his last treatment (6 min). During the treatment, he reported that his range of motion was a little better" and that he notices that it "feels better every time" after treatment.

Overview:When John was first introduced to the machine he was eager to try treatments because "Paula Abdul" had used the machine. John and I both noticed some positive results from treating his ankle. He reported some pain relief in his ankle, and he felt some return to his range of motion. John seemed to be very impatient. John did report positive results on numerous occasions; however, he did have trouble sitting still to have longer treatments. I feel that we did make progress with his ankle pain, but it could have been eliminated entirely had he received treatments on a more consistent basis.

Torn Knee Ligaments

Name: Jamie WinbornPosition: LinebackerJersey # 55Date machine used: 11/26/02-11/27/02Player reported Injuries: Torn left knee ligaments

Report:In the trial period, Jamie used the machine for one hour over a period of two treatments. He came in for his first treatment (21 min) and reported he "had a torn PCL, MCL and I have some nerve irritation on the knee." After his treatment, Jamie reported that the knee felt "warmed up and looser." He also reported that his range of motion seemed better as well. Jamie came in the next day for his final treatment (30 min). He reported that his knee "felt better today", and he noticed a return of range of motion when he woke up this morning. I noticed after his final treatment, he was flexing and stretching his knee to "test out" how much more flexible it was.

Overview:When Jamie was first introduced to the machine, he was eager to try something that his teammates were using to "get better." Although he only had two treatments Jamie and I both noticed positive results in the limited time Jamie treated. Jamie and I noticed that after his treatments he had a return of range of motion to the knee area, and the knee seemed a lot less stiff. The main result we found was that Jamie was able to "explode" (run as hard and fast as possible) without major discomfort. Jamie said he was unable to do so before receiving the treatments. Overall, I think that we did notice positive results with Jamie;


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

however the results would have been far more drastic had he treated on a more regular basis.

Torn Knee Ligaments

Name: Terry JacksonPosition: FullbackJersey # 22Date machine used: 11/28/02-12/5/02Player reported Injuries: Torn ACL in right knee.

Report:In the trial period, Terry used the machine one hour over a period of four treatments. Terry came in for his first treatment (18 min) and reported he had torn his Anterior Cruciate Ligament in his right knee. Terry was placed on injured reserve, thus ending his season. He had surgery around 2-3 months ago to repair the damaged knee. Terry also reported that since the injury, the knee has had limited range of motion, stiffness and it "took along time for it to get warmed up." We both noticed that he seemed to relax during treatment. After the treatment, Terry reported his knee "felt looser and warmed up." Terry received a second treatment later that day (12 min). He said he came back for a second treatment that day because it was his day to "work" his knee, and the knee felt "pretty good since" the treatment. During the treatment, Terry fell asleep. When the treatment was finished, I woke him up. Terry said he "felt good" after the treatment. Terry returned two days later for another treatment. He reported that his knee flexibility was better, and he noticed "the range of motion was better in the morning today." After treatment, Terry said his knee "doesn’t feel as stiff as it did before." Terry took a week break from treatments. When I asked him about it he said that the machine was always busy with other players treating. He said he didn’t want to interfere with active players getting treatment, because he was not going to be playing this year. Terry resumed treatment one week later (15 min). He reported that his knee "feels pretty good." Terry also noted that his knee "seems to have increased flexibility after treatment.” We both noticed he was now able to flex his knee pretty easily.

Overview:When Terry was first introduced to the machine, he was open to the idea of using the machine. He watched other teammates get relief from treatments, so he thought he would "give it a try." While the results Terry received were not dramatic, we did notice some improvements. Terry and I both noticed that his knee was much more flexible after treatment. Numerous times Terry reported feeling the knee "warmed up", something he had trouble doing since his knee injury. More than anything, I feel that Terry received enough return to his range of motion, to understand how the machine can help his body. If there had been either more time or more machines, Terry could have received a more regular treatment schedule. I feel that this would have cause Terry to see even better results. I also believe that though his use of the machine was limited, Terry noticed enough results to endorse the efficacy of the PAP-IMI.

Bursitis

Name: Eric HeitmanPosition: GuardJersey # 66Date machine used: 11/19/02-11/24/02Player reported Injuries: major swelling; ruptured bursa in right knee

Report:In the trial period, Eric used the machine a total of one hour over a period of five


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

treatments. Eric came in for his first treatment (15 min) with a minor limp. He had major swelling and brusing on his right knee. He seemed frustrated that he was injured and didn’t want to miss any playing time. After his first treatment, Eric said he, “Felt better than yesterday" and he noticed "A bit of range of motion return" to his knee. Eric came in the next morning for his second treatment (15 min). During treatment, Eric reported feeling "relief right away." I concentrated his treatments on his knee and lower back. I noticed he did not limp like the day before. When the treatment was done, he said he felt "range of motion improvement" in his knee. Eric came in two days later for treatment (15 min). We both noticed right away that his swelling had been reduced. During his treatment, Eric reported that his knee was "getting better everyday." I noticed his attitude was improving because as his knee got better, he knew he would play in the next game. Eric came in for treatment the next day ( 6 min) Our sessions was cut short, as he had to leave for a team meeting. He was very thankful though, and said he was much happier "knowing I’m gonna play." Eric had his final treatment the next day (9 min) We both noticed that the fluid in his knee had broken up, and the swelling had been reduced. He reported that his knee was "not too painful" anymore, and he will come back for treatments as needed.

Overview:When Eric was first introduced to the machine, he seemed very open to trying anything that could help him "heal faster." It seems he felt immediate relief and lasting relief for a few reasons. Eric returned to treat of his own volition numerous times. Also, Eric reported feeling relief, range of motion increase and a reduction of swelling in a matter of days. His mood continually improved as his body began to heal itself, and it became clear to him that he would play in the next game. I think Eric believes in the benefits of the machine, and he will use it on his injuries, as needed.

Joint Stiffness / Neck Injury

Name: Matt WilligPosition: TackleJersey # 77Date machine used: 11/19/02-11/24/02Player reported Injuries: right knee "joint stiffness"; concussion/neck pain

Report:In the trial period, Matt used the machine 11/2 hours over a period of six treatments. Matt came in for his first treatment (15 min) and reported his neck was "sore and had a clicking sound.” During treatment he had major muscle spasms in his neck area. After his first treatment, Matt said "It feels different" (his neck). He also reported having "minor relief" in his neck area. Matt came in the next day for his second treatment (15 min). He reported that he had "head relief and some neck relief." We both noticed that his neck did not spasm during treatment as much as it was yesterday. He said he will see at practice how the knee feels. Matt came in the next morning for his third treatment (3 min). His treatment was cut short as he had to leave for a team meeting. He did report that at practice yesterday his knee felt "warmed up" after treating. Matt came in the next day for his fourth consecutive day of treatment (15 min). We both noticed his neck did not spasm as much as during the first treatment. I also noticed that he seemed to relax a lot more during treatments, almost "dozing off" from time to time. He reported that his knee "felt better this morning" and he feels "a lot more relief in the neck." Matt received treatment the next morning (9 min). He reported that he is "noticing relief and the neck feel OK." Matt also reported that his "knee is looser." Matt came in the next day for his final treatment (15 min). He treated six consecutive days I noticed he seemed to have a more relaxed walk than when he began treatments. He reported that the knee is "not locking up on me; it feels great."

Overview:When Matt was first introduced to the machine, he was willing to try something that could


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

help his neck out. During his first treatment, he felt the machine go right to his area of neck pain. It startled him because he has never felt something go right to his area of need. Matt and I both noticed positive results from his treatments. The stiffness in his knee was reduced as his range of motion increased. He also reported less and less neck pain as he continued with his treatment, as well as the "cloudiness" he experienced from the concussion was gone. Overall, I think Matt enjoyed treatments and saw enough positive results on himself , to endorse use of this machine.

Viral Infection

Name: Dana StubbelfieldPosition: Defensive TackleJersey # 94Date machine used: 12/4/02Player reported Injuries: Viral infection; old knee injury

Report:In the trial period, Dana used the machine 24 minutes over a period of one treatment. Dana came in for his only treatment and reported he had a "virus", and he was "congested, achy and nauseas." I treated his chest, back, head and right knee. During the treatment, Dana reported that his "Breathing improved right away." We could both hear that the fluid was not clogging his lungs like before. Dana also reported that his "head felt much clearer" after treatment, and his right knee felt "warm and loose." I saw Dana the next morning, and he reported feeling "much more alert" when he woke up today.

Overview:When Dana was first introduced to the machine, he was hopeful that something could help make him feel better. Even though he only had one treatment, we both noticed immediate results. The fluid in his lungs dissolved during treatment, allowing him to breathe easier. His "achyness" seemed to subside, as he reported his head had cleared up. I think that because he experienced such dramatic results from only one treatment, Dana will continue to use the machine as his body needs it.

Viral Infection

Name: Mark AnelliPosition: Tight EndJersey # 85Date machine used: 12/4/02-12/5/02Player reported Injuries: Allergies

Report:In the trial period, Mark used the machine 15 minutes over a period of two treatments. Mark came into the training room during practice. He left practice early because he had an "Allergy Attack.” His face was swollen, his eyes were watering, and he had some breathing difficulties. The trainers couldn’t find his medication, so I gave him a treatment (6 min). During the first minute of treatment, Mark exclaimed "This feels amazing!" When his six minute treatment was finished, Mark reported that his breathing was drastically better. We also noticed that the swelling on his face had subsided, and his eyes were no longer watering. Mark came in the next day for his second treatment (6 min). He noted that his chest was no longer congested as it had been all week long. Mark also thanked us for yesterday’s treatment, noting, "It almost instantly cleared my allergies up."

Overview:When Mark was first introduced to the machine, he was willing to try anything on his allergies. Mark said that when his allergies "attack" as they did before his first treatment, it


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

usually renders him useless for the day. Mark was pleasantly surprised to see that after one six minute treatment, his allergy attack disappeared, and his was able to return to practice. Mark also noted an improvement in breathing, and reduction in facial swelling. I believe that because his allergies have been a life long problem, he will continue to use the machine as he says it’s given him the "quickest allergy relief" he has ever had.

Hermann Maier - Ski Champion

uses PAP-IMI in Europe“No one expected him to walk again - let alone ski competitively. Winning world class races was never even considered. From now on, I’m treating every member of the team with the PAP-IMI device.”

- Heini Bergmuller, Austrian Ski Team Coach

Hermann Maier, with the nickname of the "Herminator", is a former 3 time World Ski Champion, 2 time Olympic Champion and with his recent astonishing "comeback" victory, he has once again become the unbeatable hero from Austria.

In the past, having suffered a serious motorcycle accident in which he almost lost his leg, it was thought he might never ski again. He has been out of the skiing contests for two years.

He started PAP-IMI treatments in Europe in early January 2003, upon the recommendation of Georges Alexander Von Breunig, Chuck Wallach and Dr. Panos Pappas.

Two weeks later, he started skiing again.

His recovery is astounding!

In recent championship

races he came 10th, then 6th, then in one of the toughest competitions - he won!

He came in 1st in the International Slalom Race on Monday January 27, 2003.

This is one of the biggest sensations in Austria and Western Europe and an amazing testimonial to the powerful effectiveness of the PAP-IMI.

was born in Athens, and graduated from the Medical School of Athens University.Dr. Emmanuilidis has specialized in Sports Injuries in the School of Medicine at

the University of Athens, as well as he has specialized in Athletic Medicine in Italy.He coordinates the Soccer Team for the National Center of Athletic Research.

He has been duty Medical Doctor for the major football teams of Greece: "Panathinaekos", "Athens Apollon", as well as National Teams for Elpidon

Teenagers and Adult Men. .He has published many studies concerning football.

Summary

In the present report, we show a method we developed by applying the PAP IMI Device - Bio Pulse Generator, for professional football players with ankle sprain, the time of recovery for the injured players is significantly reduced. The method allows the players to come back to their athletic obligations, in a significantly shorter time, which is usually before their next athletic meeting or activity.

(Short presentation is given below)

INTRODUCTION

The ankle arthrosis as well as the knee arthrosis are those that are exposed to the biggest danger in a football match.


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

The reasons, which create sprains of the ankle, are due to the direct contact with the opponent, due to wrong balance during racing on rough surface or even due to a loose arthrosis. Football players usually during their training, but, mainly at the matches, back up their arthrosis with bandage or with self-adhesive elastic bandages using the appropriate fascia.

The goal of this research is to reduce the time of return to the match for professional football player that was subject to an automatic second grade sprain or after direct contact with an opponent had a second grade sprain.

Sprain is the partial or the full brake of the fiber of one joint and particularly of their outer portions, more specifically at the front portion which is known as the perone ankle joint. It is an injury of resupination, adduction and is mainly due to the anatomy of the foot end, because the internal melleolus is shorter than the exterior melleolus and the arthrosis is less supported during an ectropic (with the foot inwards) injury, forcing the outer sprain to accept all the weight of the load.

Fewer times the opposite is happening - ectropia (with the foot outwards) affecting in that way the outer elements of the ankle.

The sprains are distinguished according to that gravity of the injury: a) to the first grade or light sprain, b) to the second grade or heavy sprain with full joint rhexis, c) third grade with full rhexis which concerns the medium of the joint, which may have the form of detachment either from the gemma or from the sertion, either with or without osteal fragma. With the rhexis of the conjunction, rhexis of the synovial bursa occurs.

Rhexis alone of the peroneal joint of the leg if not treated on time, it may end to instability of the arthrosis. The same is true for the rhexis alone of the outer later jont which can end to relapse sprain of the ankle , which implies astasia of the arthrosis and it may end to possible degenerative arthritis.

The active athlete after an injury has to terminate immediately the athletic activity and should undertake medical and radiological check ups in order to determine the gravity of the sprain.

Clinically after some hours, the arthrosis is characterized by a huge edema as well as by a huge hematoma. After such injury, intense pain and walking inability occurs.

For the second grade of sprain the proposed treatment is as following:

Applications of cold compresses for 15-20 minutes at frequent time intervals for the first 48 hours.


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

Functional fasciation with elastic bandages or functional splint, "Air Castle" type, for 8-10 days.

Upstream place of the leg. Avoidance of walking and tension of the part. Pharmaceutical treatment with anti-inflammatory and anti-edema

medication. At least 10 sessions of physiotherapy treatments after the 5th day which

include vortex bath, ultrasound, electrotherapy, massage cryotherapy, reinforcement exercises of the ankle, proprietor exercises.

Total time for gradual coming back at the athletic activities is 15-20 days.

For our pilot research we finally selected 20 football players who had second grade sprain, either automatic or because of an "opponents’ contact".

Clinically the injured players under our study, presented a tense edema and hematoma. The x-rays analysis was negative for fracture. For 3 occasions that was determined necessary they were examined under "static movement" check up, which resulted negative for a fully break of the joint.

METHOD

The ankle was immobilized with “Air castle splint" and cold compresses were applied for 24 hours. The second 24 hours they received treatments with a PAP-IMI 600P Magnetic Pulser Device. The PAPIMI treatments were twice every morning as well as every evening for 20 minutes’ duration each.

The device produces:

Complex magnetic induction field as it is shown in the oscillogram with continuously reducing intensity during every complex pulse, with an initial instantaneous peak of 10,000 ampere-turns max, which corresponds to 125 gauss, modulated from oscillations of excited gaseous plasma with PAP- IMI method.

The overall duration of every complex pulse is 10 microseconds, repeated every 500ms.

The energy at every complex pulse is of the range of 54 Joules. The average potential of the field 2x54 Joules/or 108 watts. The frequency consists of continuous harmony Fourier components

from 0.3 MHZ to 250 MHZ. Effective penetration is 15 cm at full potential, reduced proportionally

with the third power of the distance.


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

After the treatment, cold compresses were applied for 15 minutes and the functional splint was placed back. The edema was reduced greatly after the second treatment. The football players began light running exercises on the fourth day after the injury, with their splints completely removed.

The same day, they started special reinforcement exercises for the ankle.

RESULTS

60% of the football players recovered completely the 6th day and returned to their athletic obligations.Recovery reduction time was down to 30%.

30% of the football players recovered the 8th day after the injury.Recovery reduction time was down to 44%.

10 % of the football players were feeling annoyance at the 10th day. In this case, the two players remaining (20x10%=2) recovered the 13th and 14th

day accordingly. Recovery reduction time was down to 75%.Pharmaceutical treatment was not given at all.

Conclusively: We have proven that the method -by applying the PAP IMI Device - Bio Pulse Generator - for football players with second grade sprain of the ankle, the time of recovery was significantly reduced and allowed the players to come back to their athletic activities in a much shorter time and before the next weekly match.

***************

Notice 1.

We have distinguished the injuries in four different categories

In the first category we distinguished the type of the injury (automatic muscle injury from cicatrices, injury of arthrosis).

In the second category we determined the point of trauma to establish whether some parts of the body are more fender.


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

In the third category we distinguished the time periods that the injuries were occurred (preliminary training, climate conditions, tense match obligations)

In the fourth category we noted the number of the pathological cases during the match period.

The total number of the football players that were included at this research was 68.

Due to the longer time of non-participation to local matches during the last summer period, because of the World Championship, there was enough time to most chronic injuries to cure. The time of the preliminary training was prolonged. So the training period was increased smoothly and there were no actual new injuries.

For a team that worked less hard at the beginning, giving friendly matches more sprains occurred later during the championship.

Notice 2.

For teams that had more matches’ participations (championships, links, national obligations) more muscular injuries and knee’s injuries occurred, mainly at the period of the increased matches’ obligations.

For a team that is trying to remain at one category and which does not have a permanent area of training, more injuries are observed to occur for the ankle during the rain period when stadiums are usually in bad conditions. Also an increase of automatic muscle injuries occurs after the change of the coach or after the change of the training type.

SPORTS INJURIES WITH THE PAP IMI DEVICE by Dr. ILIAS ZOUMAS

Interview by G. Andreikos - P. KirangelosTranslation by Christine SantasNovember 1998.

The athletic doctor and physiotherapist, Dr.Ilias Zoumas, purchased the PAP IMI Bio Magnetic Pulser Device, almost two and a half years ago. Before taking this decision, Dr Zoumas compared the PAP IMI Device with one of the most modern Lasers, for 3,5 months. According to Dr Zoumas, this specific period of time was enough to ascertain the incomparable superiority of the PAP IMI Device, with respect to the modern lasers, which converted Dr. Zoumas to purchase the PAP IMI Device. In fact Dr. Zoumas, told us expressively, that if he had to leave his center, the only thing that he would care to take with him, would had been the PAP IMI Device, which he thinks is irreplaceable for the treatments of his patients. For Dr Zoumas, the PAP IMI Bio Magnetic Pulser Device, is unparalleled for almost every case of sports injuries and physiotherapy, when a quick and excellent result is requisite.

The following cases, are typical examples of the use of the PAP IMI Device, by Dr Zoumas. The information come from the medical records, concerning mostly cases of professional athletes, of the last two and a half years, that Dr Zoumas is using the device in the so called Hyperbaric Medical Center, in which, him and the Medical Doctor Zaxariadis are operating.

TYPICAL CASESwith (Inter) National and Professional Athletes

CASE 1 : T.S.FIRST DEGREE FRACTURE OF QUADRICEPS

A 28 years old, National and Professional soccer player, suffered from a first degree fracture of quadriceps. After two treatments, with the PAP IMI Device, in combination with distensions and ice therapies, a complete recovery was achieved.

The Soccer player had a spectacular and unbelievable return and participation to the next foot ball game meeting (within 7 days only), miraculously sooner than what was anticipated.


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

CASE 2: P.F.SEVERE STRAIN OF ENDOTIBIA AND PARTIAL RUPTURE OF DELTOIDEUS

A famous International Professional Basket Ball Player, had a severe strain of endotibia and partial rupture of deltoideus. He had alternative treatments with the PAP IMI Device and rests in the Hyperbaric Chamber. In three days only, (two treatments per day), he had an unexpected, unbelievable spectacular independence of the walking assistance.

It should be noted the diagnosis forecasted and anticipated at least a ten days therapy with any conventional method and a much longer resting and recovery period.

CASE 3: T.S.FIRST DEGREE STRAIN

A 23 years old, National and Professional Soccer Player, who suffered from a first degree strain, had an unexpected complete recovery after two treatments with the PAP IMI Bio Magnetic Pulser Device, combined with rests in the Hyperbaric Chamber.

He participated and played like in a miracle in the next soccer match (in a period of less than 7 days).

CASE 4: B.K.ARTHROSCOPISIS OF KNEE - NORMALIZATION OF CARTILAGES - PARTIAL MENISCECTOMY

A 26 years old, National Athlete, had arthroscopisis in his knee, with normalization of cartilage and partial meniscectomy. As a result of these conditions, he had a motion limitation and swelling, with a severe feeling of pain.

After having 4 treatments, with the PAP IMI Bio Magnetic Pulser Device, he was walking and perfectly moving. It should be noted: a significant reduction of swelling and elimination of pain, was also immediately (with the first treatment only) achieved.

CASE 5: A.N.EPICONDYLITIS


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

A 35 years old, female and practicing physiotherapy herself, suffered from epicondylitis in both hands since long time.

She tried Bio Magnetic Pulses and she was completely cured, after having 4 treatments only, in each hand, with the PAP IMI Device. She did not receive any other simultaneous treatment.

It should be noted that usually, in such cases and with similar condition symptoms, only some improvement, becomes evident only after 10 or so conventional therapies. It was an unexpected and unbelievably fast complete recovery.

CASE 6 : SEVERE STRAIN

A Professional Soccer Player, came in our center, with a cane and severe swelling, after suffering from a severe strain. After two treatments, with the PAP IMI Bio Magnetic Pulser Device, the pain was relieved immediately. He could also walk comfortably and the swelling was eliminated. The patient, himself, was astonished with the unbelievable, ultra fast result, that he said, with enthusiasm: " What was this magic thing, that you have done to me and I feel really well?"

SUMMARY - GENERAL RESULTS

STRAINS

In twenty cases of Professional Athletes, who suffered from first and second degree strain, we had a complete recovery from the first 15 days and a spectacular over all return to their sport, in much short time than anticipated, by only using the PAP IMI Bio Magnetic Device.

Percentage of success: 100% Percentage of failure: 0% Adverse effects: 0%

FRACTURES


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

In twenty cases of Professional Athletes with first degree fracture, after 2-4 treatments with the PAP IMI Device, in combination with other therapies (distensions, ice-therapies etc.), we had a complete fast recovery.


KNEE INJURIES

In at least 10 cases of Professional Athletes with knee injuries of athletes, we had immediate fast and spectacular results. In the first two-three days only with only 4-6 treatments in total and by using a combination of PAP IMI Device and Hyperbaric Chamber, a spectacular fast strengthening, was achieved.

The overall coming back time was shortened to at least 50% with respect to the anticipated time of all other known treatments.


CONCLUSION

The athletic doctor and physiotherapist, Dr. Ilias Zoumas, says that he is using the PAP IMI Device to almost every case.

The Bio Magnetic Pulses of the PAP IMI Device, have spectacular fast results, to any kind of superficial (outer) problems like:

EpicondylitisTenontitisPeriostitisFracturesFractures, inward, outward shoulderFractures of fatigueRuptures of ligaments of talocrunalInjuries of forehand carpal boneSevere distention etc

The Bio Magnetic Pulses of the PAP IMI Device, have also spectacular effects in some other cases like:

EndoarthritisPost operated knees with stiffness in motionRupture of crosses (after operation)Meniscus of kneesCervical syndromesHeadachesMigrainesGenerally what is called "stiffness"

The combination of the PAP IMI Device, with other treatments (for example, with hyperbaric oxygen), enhances the acceleration of the effectiveness.

Dosages depend on each case separately with no side effects or counter indications.

Notice for complaints of spinal column:

When there is a sensitiveness of injured nerves, a particular soft treatment and care is required, because of the inevitable activation of these injured nerves, causing hypersensitivity.

In almost all cases when applicable, the Bio Magnetic Pulses of the PAP IMI Device, are incomparable in terms of the speed of recovery and the quality of therapeutic effect, with respect to all diathermies, modern Lasers and all known procedures.

The result of local blood increased flow are especially enhanced, when the oxygenation effects of the Hyperbaric Chamber are combined.

Particularly, in young, healthy people (under 30 years of age), we have noticed spectacular and unexpected faster results.

For this reason, in our opinion, the Bio Magnetic Pulses of the PAP IMI Device, are ideal for injuries of Professional Young Athletes.

Technical Description and Operation

Device Description

The PAP-IMI is an advanced electrotherapeutic diathermy device that produces unique bio-energetic magnetic field pulses characterized as having a fast rise time, strong power, and short duration. The main chassis of the PAP-IMI contains the power supply, a bank of fast discharge electrical capacitors, a plasma chamber that regulates the electrical energy discharge rate, and other electronic circuitry and regulators. This main assembly is installed within a metallic (conducting) EMI reducing safety cage, placed within an insulating (dielectric) safety enclosure. This assembly must be placed on a non- conducting surface at least one meter from any metal surface or object that could be reached by the subject (to avoid a harmless but annoying static shock).

Principle of Operation

The PAP-IMI achieves its therapeutic effects by generating high amplitude electromagnetic pulses of very rapid rise time (nanoseconds) and short duration (microseconds). These are produced by a patented plasma resonance chamber developed by Professor Panos T. Pappas of the Technical University of Piraeus, Athens, Greece. The applicator probe of the device is a low impedance 15cm diameter loop that is held flat against the clothing or skin over the affected area of the body for (in most cases) ten to twenty minutes per treatment. The magnetic field generated by the loop penetrates up to 15cm (» 6 inches) into the body, inducing microcurrents deep in the body’s tissues.

The PAP-IMI operates on a principle different from that of other pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) devices. Rather than employing a tube oscillator tuned to a specific frequency, it generates its oscillating current by momentarily storing up energy in a capacitor bank and discharging this through a plasma gap into its inductor probe. It operates on a principle similar to spark-type diathermies that were in use in the early part of the 20th century. Examples of such diathermy devices were those made by Fischer Co. and the Thompson-Plaster Co.

The current pulses generated by the device are conducted via a heavy cable to the probe’s insulated donut shaped coil. Each short pulse of electrical energy is discharged down and around the coil to generate a fast rise time, short duration, high power oscillating electrical current pulse which consists of a short burst of high-frequency magnetic field oscillations. This oscillating current pulse in turn generates an oscillating magnetic field having the same frequencies and characteristics, i.e., fast rise time, strong power, and short duration. The oscillogram of the magnetic field emitted by the probe shows two superimposed oscillations – a low frequency fundamental damped oscillation (f -320 kHz) determined by inductance and capacitance of the circuit and a broad spectrum of high frequency oscillations (f - 0.3 - 250 MHz) originating from the plasma. The probe’s magnetic field is of relatively moderate strength, being of the order of 12.5 milliTesla (or 125 gauss); see specifications. By comparison, a typical permanent magnet delivers on the order of 1 Tesla (10,000 gauss) or more.

Magnetic fields can penetrate practically any object, being very difficult to shield, and hence harmlessly penetrate the tissues and organs of the subject’s body. There, by the phenomenon of Faraday induction, these oscillating magnetic fields induce a secondary electrical field that generates microcurrents in complete safety to the subject and operator. No unsafe or ionizing radiation is generated. These microcurrents have frequencies and wave characteristics identical with those of the electrical current discharge in the plasma chamber. These induced electrical fields and currents carry energy to the cellular level and may increase the natural cellular activity with beneficial results. Remember, no electricity goes directly from the machine to the subject. There are many safety features that prevent this from happening, The microcurrents are generated in the subject’s tissues by a natural process of electromagnetic induction.

The device is designed in two models, both 110 V or 220 V (50 or 60 Hz). Internally, the device operates at two voltages, a low of 110 volts or 230 volts and a high of 35,000/50,000 volts maximum. For safety, the internal high-voltage circuits are well insulated from ground and from the subject and operator. This means the internal voltage is floating. The 600S and newer models symmetrically distribute the power supply’s output voltage and are equipped with current leakage and voltage deviation detectors connected to a shut off mechanism. This excludes the possibility that a dangerously high voltage current may be applied to an external object, even if direct contact is made to it, unless an unlikely second ground contact is made simultaneously and accidentally to another internal part of the device, thus eliminating its insulation from ground. In order to exclude even this unlikely possibility, (or even the more unlikely failure of the shut off mechanism) the exterior of the device is made of an adequately insulating material that encloses the grounded metallic case of the device; also adequate ground insulation is provided by a platform which is unconditionally independent, and an ultimate safety protection from electrocution.

Non metallic or non conducting objects, such as bench, table, bed, (made of wood or plastic without long or big metal parts) should be used. Similarly, no metallic or conductive materials are allowed to be accessed by the subject or operator. Presence of metals reduces the device’s output performance and the safety of its operation.

Compared with other pulsed diathermy devices and other PEMF devices, its pulses rise to maximum intensity far faster, reach peak energy intensities that are higher by 103 to 104 fold, and their field has a much greater depth of penetration. Although PAP-IMI pulses have a very high peak energy intensity, they are also of very short duration, that is, they have an effective time ratio d t/t (pulse duration d,t divided by pulse duty cycle duration t) that is 1000 to 100,000 times smaller than that of other pulsed diathermy devices. So the thermal energy imparted by the PAP-IMI is comparable to or less than that supplied by other PEMF devices. The low pulse repetition rate of the PAP-IMI – on the order of two to five pulses per second – produces no sensation of heat in body tissues.

LAS SORPRENDENTES POSIBILIDADES CURATIVAS DEL PAP-IMI

Numerosas enfermedades pueden ser eficazmente tratadas con el PAP-IMI, un novedoso dispositivo electroterapéutico creado por el profesor griego Panos T. Pappas capaz de producir pulsos magnéticos de gran amplitud, corta duración y alto poder energético que proporcionan a las células energía suficiente para mejorar su comportamiento metabólico. Y que además pueden utilizarse para provocar la destrucción de las células cancerosas. Entre quienes se han beneficiado ya de este método se encuentra el ex campeón olímpico y mundial de esquí, Hermann Maier, a quien un gravísimo accidente de moto estuvo a punto de costarle su pierna izquierda. Cuando todo apuntaba a su retirada comenzó a tratarse con este aparato y tras una recuperación asombrosa está compitiendo de nuevo.

La eficacia terapéutica del electromagnetismo para tratar el cáncer y otras enfermedades ha sido demostrada por una investigación realizada en la University of Southern California y publicada en la prestigiosa revista científica New Scientist Magazine. El trabajo confirma que paquetes de pulsos electromagnéticos de nanosegundos (millonésima de segundo) pueden pasar a través de la membrana exterior de las células sin dañarlas y modificar su interior lo que según los investigadores permite tratar de forma efectiva enfermedades como el cáncer o la leucemia. Es más, estos paquetes de pulsos rápidos actúan mediante un poderoso impacto en la estructura intracelular permitiendo cambiar su equilibrio bioquímico y provocar así -entre otros efectos- la apóptosis o suicidio de las células cancerosas. "En esencia -afirma Thomas Vernier, experto en semiconductores y gerente de ingeniería en el USC Viterbi School's Information Sciences Institute- nosotros enviamos miles de voltios a la célula en intervalos de nanosegundos. Los pulsos de alta frecuencia son tan cortos que pasan a través de la membrana del citoplasma sin alterar su estructura pero sí alterando su interior. Y cuando son aplicados en fuertes dosis llevan a la célula a la autodestrucción." Los resultados del trabajo, apoyados principalmente por la Air Force Office of Scientific Research con fondos adicionales de la Army Research Office, fueron presentados en la Conferencia sobre Nanotecnología celebrada en Boston el año pasado. Es interesante resaltar también -por coincidir con otros planteamientos teóricos sobre los pulsos electromagnéticos- que las observaciones iniciales del sistema UPSET (Ultra-short Pulsed Systems Electroperturbation Technology) han mostrado que el pulso nanoeléctrico produce estallidos de calcio dentro de las células milisegundos después de ser aplicado. "Es importante -explicaría T. Vernier- porque los iones de calcio sirven como mensajeros reguladores en una amplia variedad de procesos en la estructura fisiológica de la célula. Ahora estamos interesados en saber cómo usar el ion de calcio para alterar las estructuras intracelulares específicas". Vernier y un equipo de investigación de la sección de Ingeniería Eléctrica del Departamento de Investigación Celular y Neurobiología de la Keck School of Medicine de la USC y el Biophotonics Laboratory en el Cedars-Sinai Medical Center probaron la tecnología UPSET exponiendo las células de la leucemia a los campos eléctricos de alta frecuencia. La técnica presenta como principales ventajas sobre los tratamientos convencionales que no es invasiva - puede aplicarse sin contacto directo- y es mucho más económica. "Nuestra esperanza -manifestó T. Vernier- es que un día los pulsos nanoeléctricos puedan reemplazar procedimientos como la extirpación quirúrgica de tumores o tratamientos tóxicos como la quimioterapia". Ojalá... aunque no nos tranquiliza mucho saber que es el Ejército norteamericano el interesado en investigar el impacto de los pulsos electromagnéticos en las células. En fin, el caso es que según los investigadores norteamericanos estamos ante una tecnología de futuro... pero, ¿no será más bien de presente?La verdad es que al conocer este trabajo que se presentaba como "novedoso" Panos T. Pappas, especialista griego en campos electromagnéticos, debió sonreír. A fin de cuentas el estudio de la USC respalda letra por letra, paso a paso, los trabajos que desde hace casi una década le llevaron al desarrollo de un dispositivo de pulsos electromagnéticos, el PAP-IMI, que está siendo utilizado en la actualidad en el tratamiento de numerosas patologías. Es decir, que una vez más se han invertido decenas de millones de dólares de fondos privados y públicos en demostrar lo que otros ya habían demostrado. Porque resulta que mientras en la USC se afanan en diseñar un dispositivo capaz de aplicar

pulsos electromagnéticos en la lucha contra las enfermedades... Pappas lo tiene ya patentado y distribuido en los propios Estados Unidos, Canadá, México y Europa como dispositivo terapéutico en el ámbito de la Magnetoterapia. Paradojas de la ciencia, siempre hay alguien dispuesto a machacar en un clavo ya clavado ignorando los valiosos trabajos realizados con anterioridad. En cualquier caso, el trabajo norteamericano no deja de ser un aval importante para una tecnología sobre la que aún hay mucho que investigar pero que comienza a demostrar gran eficacia en ciertos tratamientos.

RECUPERACIONES SORPRENDENTESCiertamente los efectos beneficiosos de los campos electromagnéticos sobre el sistema músculo-esquelético se conocen desde hace muchos años pero no es menos cierto que los resultados obtenidos por el PAP-IMI -de Pappas e IMI (Ion Magnetic Induction)- resultan sorprendentes. El esquiador austriaco Hermann Maier -conocido en el mundo del esquí como "Herminator"- lidera en el momento de escribirse este artículo la Copa del Mundo de Esquí Alpino por delante del norteamericano Bode Millar. Maier, cuádruple ganador de la Copa del Mundo, campeón olímpico en 1998 en Nagano (Japón) y que cuenta con 21 victorias en la Copa del Mundo sabe bien pues lo que es la alegría de la victoria pero también sabe muy bien lo que es el miedo a perder... no ya una carrera sino algo más importante: su pierna derecha y, con ella, su futuro como deportista profesional. Porque el 24 de agosto del 2001 Maier sufrió un grave accidente de tráfico mientras pilotaba su moto por Salzburgo. Un turista alemán desorientado realizó un giro inesperado y prohibido cuando circulaba por delante de su moto y el campeón austriaco cayó a la calzada tan bruscamente que se produjo una gravísima fractura abierta en la pierna derecha así como otras lesiones internas. Maier estuvo a punto de perder su pierna derecha. Una vez superado lo peor meditó retirarse de la competición debido al estado de la misma. Sin embargo, un año después -en agosto del 2002- volvía a entrenarse y el 27 de enero del 2003 conseguía su primera victoria tras el accidente en el supergigante de Kitzbuehel. Un "milagro" que para él y su entrenador, sin embargo, comenzaría el día en que le presentaron al investigador griego Panos T. Pappas y empezó a tratarse con el PAP-IMI y sus pulsos electromagnéticos consiguiendo así una recuperación en la que nadie creía. También en la temporada 2002-2003 el PAP-IMI comenzaría a ser utilizado por uno de los equipos históricos del fútbol americano: los San Francisco 49ers. La dureza de este deporte, a pesar de las protecciones que de la cabeza a los pies cubren a los jugadores, es causa de múltiples lesiones. Y buscando nuevas soluciones su equipo médico constataría en poco tiempo los buenos resultados que se obtienen con él en la recuperación de una amplia gama de lesiones y dolencias: esguinces, roturas, contusiones, etc. Incluso una apreciable reducción del número de partidos perdidos por los jugadores como consecuencia de lesiones. La máquina sería bautizada por los componentes del equipo como "Thumper" ("El golpeador") por la sensación de pequeños impactos repetidos que se sienten durante el tratamiento. "Ese aparato -recordaba Garrison Hearst, running back, hoy en los Broncos de Denver- era muy bueno para la recuperación del hombro y la rodilla. También me permitía aliviar rápidamente las inflamaciones surgidas tras los partidos. Cuando va derecho al dolor sé que está funcionando". Aunque quizás quien más explícito se ha mostrado es Ron Stone, guard del equipo: "El Thumper -afirmó- es tan popular que tengo que hacer cola para usarlo. Es un pequeño milagro de Dios en una caja". También hay quienes se han beneficiado del aparato diseñado por Pappas aunque no pueden contarlo. Nos referimos a los caballos de alta competición. Bob Baffert, un legendario entrenador de caballos de carreras -tres veces ganador del Derby de Kentucky y cuatro veces líder de ganancias entre los entrenadores de primera línea- lo incorporó al tratamiento de las lesiones de sus pupilos equinos. "He notado -afirmaría- que el PAPI-IMI mejora sus movimientos y elimina mejor la hinchazón, la tensión y el dolor. Mis caballos no pueden decirme dónde están lesionados pero pasando la sonda del PAP-IMI por encima de su cuerpo puedo encontrar el lugar correcto dende ellos necesitan la energía. Esta máquina es asombrosa". Los casos de Baffert y Hearst ofrecen en cualquier un dato significativo: la capacidad del PAP-IMI de actuar por resonancia en la zona dañada. Es decir, el terapeuta, preparador o entrenador sólo tiene que pasar la sonda del aparato por la zona, arriba y abajo, sin necesidad de que exista contacto directo con el cuerpo del paciente -hombre o animal- y


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

sabiendo que cuando la sonda atraviese por una zona afectada -a nivel externo o interno- se activarán sin más los pulsos electromagnéticos y éste comenzará a sentir como pequeños impactos internos en la zona dañada que le pueden producir una molestia/dolor soportable que afortunadamente, tras varias sesiones, termina demostrando su alto valor terapéutico.Los testimonios de Maier, de los jugadores de fútbol americano o de los entrenadores de caballos de carreras junto a decenas de estudios y experiencias en lesiones óseas y padecimientos articulares ponen de manifiesto la eficacia del aparato en la recuperación rápida y sorprendente de traumas óseo-musculares. Y no son más que la cresta de una ola de centenares de testimonios en un amplio abanico de enfermedades -desde el asma hasta el sida pasando por el cáncer- que hablan de mejorías particulares producidas por los especiales pulsos electromagnéticos del aparato. Es verdad que la efectividad de los campos electromagnéticos está siendo -en general- difícil de concretar ante la variabilidad de datos y aparatos pero no lo es menos que durante los últimos 25 años se ha recopilado el suficiente número de experiencias para pensar que la eficacia de los campos y pulsos electromagnéticos no se limita al control del dolor o a la reparación de lesiones óseas y musculares.En uno de los boletines de la Sociedad Americana del Dolor, Norman Harden -su editor- escribía lo siguiente en la introducción a un artículo del doctor Marko Markov -del Mount Sinai Hospital- titulado ¿Pueden los campos magnéticos y electromagnéticos aliviar el dolor?: "En las década de los 50 y 60 del pasado siglo XX -decía Harden- la comunidad científica predijo que los campos magnéticos nunca podrían ser usados para ofrecer imágenes del interior de nuestro cuerpo y ridiculizó los esfuerzos de quienes estaban envueltos en la investigación. Ahora contamos con imágenes precisas de nuestro organismo gracias a la resonancia magnética. El cuerpo humano es bioeléctrico y biomagnético. Es lógico pues asumir que la energía electromagnética impacta en las funciones de los organismos, quizás terapéuticamente. Hay ya estudios randomizados, controlados y en progreso que están poniendo de manifiesto el verdadero valor de la terapia magnética en la enfermedad humana y el dolor".

LOS CAMPOS MAGNÉTICOS PULSANTESYa en 1941 Szent Gyorgyi -un médico y bioquímico al que ya le había sido otorgado el Premio Nobel por su trabajo sobre los mecanismos de oxidación biológicos y la vitamina C- realizó la sorprendente sugerencia de que fenómenos como la semiconducción se daban dentro de los sistemas vivientes. Y postuló que la estructura atómica de moléculas biológicas como las proteínas estaba lo suficientemente organizada como para permitir la transmisión de corrientes eléctricas a distancia. Fue el punto de partida de la Bioelectricidad. Luego, durante las últimas décadas, ha sido cada vez más corriente utilizar dispositivos electromagnéticos en la recuperación de lesiones musculares y óseas obteniéndose notables mejorías que han evitado intervenciones quirúrgicas, invasivas y mucho más caras. Sin embargo, la investigación no se ha detenido en los buenos resultados obtenidos en tendinitis, artrosis, periartritis o reuma. Después fueron sus beneficios sobre el dolor y ahora nuevos estudios clínicos nos hablan de nuevas fronteras a las que Pappas y los médicos que le rodean parecen haber llegado en algunos casos.A pesar de lo cual el uso de los campos magnéticos como herramienta terapéutica en los grandes centros hospitalarios está poco extendido. La causa es la falta de certeza sobre cómo responden las células en cada momento. Sin embargo, cada vez sabemos más. "La membrana celular -explica el ya mencionado doctor Markov- parece ser el principal blanco de las señales de los campos electromagnéticos alterando el mecanismo del ion de calcio (como también señala Vernier en el estudio de la USC). Cualquier cambio en el micro-medioambiente electroquímico de la célula puede causar modificaciones en la estructura de su superficie cambiando la concentración de un ión específicamente limitado lo que puede acompañarse de alteraciones en la estructura de entidades moleculares (como los lípidos, proteínas y enzimas) en la estructura de la membrana. Por consiguiente, incluso alteraciones pequeñas en el voltaje de transmembrana podrían activar una modulación significativa de la función celular". Cabe explicar que el "potencial de membrana" es el voltaje que dan a la membrana las concentraciones de los iones de sodio (Na) y potasio (K) a ambos lados de ella. Del intercambio de ambos depende la polaridad de la membrana -positiva en su cara extracelular y negativa en su cara intracelular- y una carga voltaica llamada "potencial de


Tel. +34 609 51 38 88 Fax: +34 95 261 33 04

membrana" que se cifra en torno a los -90 milivoltios en estado de reposo.Los datos sobre la importancia del potencial de membrana serían confirmados en 1986 por R. Bingelli y C. Weinstein que establecieron la siguiente clasificación: Potencial de membrana de la célula: desde -100 miliV hasta 0 mV. Células sanas no proliferantes: entre -100 y -75 miliV. Células alteradas pero benignas: entre -75 y -35 miliV. Células tumorales cancerosas: entre -35 miliV y -5 miliV.El uso para la recuperación del potencial "sano" es para Pappas, precisamente, una de las claves del funcionamiento de los pulsos electromagnéticos.

ASÍ FUNCIONA EL PAP-IMI¿Y quién es Panos T. Pappas? Pues un prestigioso investigador griego, profesor de Física y Matemáticas en el Instituto Tecnológico del Pireo y especialista internacional en Electromagnetismo y Electrodinámica que ha trabajado en centros como el Physics Department of National Technical University of Athens, el National Magnetic Laboratory y el Center of Electromagnetic Research así como en la NASA. Miembro del Consejo Asesor de Discovery DSALUD, Pappas ha concentrado sus esfuerzos durante los últimos siete años en los efectos químicos y biológicos producidos por los pulsos electromagnéticos. Producto de esa experiencia es el PAP-IMI, aprobado hoy por autoridades médicas e industriales como dispositivo de magnetoterapia y que, como ya hemos comentado, está siendo utilizado como recurso terapéutico en muchos hospitales y centros privados de Estados Unidos, Canadá, México y Europa. Hablamos de un dispositivo que produce pulsos magnéticos bipolares de corta duración y alta intensidad capaces de reproducir la "chispa del relámpago" provocando de esta manera una recarga de bioenergía a nivel celular sin que exista aumento de temperatura y, por tanto, daño térmico. "El PAP-IMI -nos diría su creador- está diseñado para restaurar la carga iónica perdida por la célula a fin de que supere sus problemas. Con abundancia de energía interior -o bioenergía- la célula supera la dificultad eléctrica y se espera que mantenga el equilibrio de la concentración iónica, el equilibrio de potencial de transmembrana y el funcionamiento eficaz de la bomba sodio-potasio". El PAP-IMI utiliza micropulsaciones con una frecuencia de 2,3 por segundo en lapsos de un nanosegundo (menos de 1 millonésima de segundo) produciendo una "onda" electromagnética que penetra hasta 15 cms. de profundidad en la zona afectada. Para recibir 1 segundo pleno de pulso electromagnético el usuario debe usar el aparato 111 horas. Usa un transformador de diseño especial que le permite usar un voltaje de hasta 50.000 voltios. Y actúa por resonancia sobre la zona dañada, como dijimos anteriormente. Es decir, al pasar la sonda -que no precisa estar en contacto sobre el cuerpo- sobre una zona sana el paciente no experimenta efecto alguno. Sin embargo, al pasar sobre una zona dañada comienza a sentir pequeños "impactos electromagnéticos" de cortísima duración pero encadenados. Lo que además convierte el aparato en un método fiable para saber si una zona está dañada o enferma. La seguridad del usuario está además garantizada ya que en ningún momento la electricidad escapa de la máquina. El PAP-IMI no usa microcorrientes para aplicar sobre el cuerpo y la energía es "inducida" directamente a nivel celular por el dispositivo en la zona afectada. El PAP-IMI cuenta además con una alarma interior capaz de detectar cualquier fuga de electricidad y detener inmediatamente la máquina.

APLICACIONES TERAPÉUTICASEl PAP-IMI comenzó aplicándose para la rápida recuperación de traumas musculares y óseos así como para paliar el dolor. En ese sentido ha sido probado con éxito en centros especializados en la lucha contra el dolor como el Health Restoration Center, el National Pain Institute, el International Pain Research Institute y muchos otros centros de investigación de Los Ángeles, San Diego, el norte de México, Canadá y Europa. Los efectos positivos de los pulsos electromagnéticos sobre el dolor son ya innegables y cientos de estudios y artículos dan fe de ello. Por ejemplo, en un artículo de marzo del 2003 titulado Pain management with pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) treatment, William Pawluk -médico y profesor asistente en la School of Medicine de la Johns Hopkins University- resume su eficacia. "El 17% de las personas mayores de 15 años -afirma Pawluk- sufre de dolores crónicos que afectan a su actividad diaria. Los estudios sugieren que al menos uno de cada cuatro adultos en Norteamérica sufre dolor en un

momento determinado. Y son ya muchos los médicos que están empezando a remitr a sus pacientes con dolores crónicos a la medicina complementaria y alternativa en busca de una terapia que reduzca su dependencia de los medicamentos, los procedimientos invasivos y los efectos colaterales". A continuación Pawluk desarrolla las posibilidades de los campos electromagnéticos pulsantes contra el dolor. "Se ha demostrado que los campos electromagnéticos pulsantes de diversa potencia y frecuencia -escribe Pawluk- tienen buenos resultados en una amplia serie de situaciones dolorosas. Y suponen un mínimo riesgo comparados con el potencial invasivo de otras terapias y el riesgo de toxicidad, adicción y complicaciones de los medicamentos. Los profesionales se están dando cuenta gradualmente de su potencial para tratar con éxito o mejorar una miríada de problemas. Además, tras miles de pacientes y años de uso ha quedado constatado que el riesgo potencial de su utilización es muy pequeño." Y añade: "Los campos electromagnéticos afectan a la percepción de dolor de muchas maneras diferentes. Pueden aliviar el dolor directamente al influir sobre las neuronas afectadas, los movimientos del ión calcio, los potenciales de la membrana, los niveles de endorfinas, el óxido nítrico, los niveles de dopamina y la regeneración de los nervios. En cuanto a los beneficios indirectos de los campos magnéticos en distintas funciones fisiológicas pueden apreciarse en la circulación, el aparato músculo-esquelético, los edemas, el nivel de oxígeno en los tejidos, las inflamaciones, el metabolismo celular y los niveles de energía de las células".Es obvio que dadas las posibilidades que se han ido abriendo paso, el campo de aplicación de los campos pulsantes se ha ido ampliando. Y cada vez son más los médicos que, llegado el momento en el que el tratamiento convencional no da resultado, se adentran en terrenos sugeridos por la investigación de laboratorio obteniendo resultados que les llevan a repetir la experiencia con nuevos pacientes. Se ha ido recopilando así un considerable número de casos tratados con grandes beneficios en otras patologías. Para resumir, diremos que Shri Kant Mishra -profesor de Neurología, miembro de prestigiosas sociedades de Neurociencia y presidente de la American Academy of Ayurvedic Medicine (AAAM)- tiene escrito que el PAP-IMI es eficaz en los siguientes casos: "Síndromes de dolor agudo crónico y sintomático; dolor por tensión crónica vascular; desórdenes músculo-esqueléticos; dolores crónicos de cuello y espalda; fibromialgia; problemas en las articulaciones; diversos tipos de desórdenes reumatológicos; artritis reumatoide". Kant Mishra agregaría que también es eficaz en casos de desórdenes inmunológicos, en el lupus sistémico, en desórdenes relacionados con el envejecimiento, en la curación de heridas y como coadyuvante en el caso de dolores agudos en enfermos de cáncer. A las citadas patologías se pueden añadir testimonios personales de pacientes y médicos en los que el PAP-IMI ha servido para tratar dolores pélvicos femeninos, problemas de la menstruación, endometriosis, problemas pulmonares, alergias, infecciones, asma, pulmonía, enfisema, enfermedades obstructivas, problemas circulatorios, hipertensión y otras patologías.

EL PAPI-MI Y EL SIDAPor si todo ello fuera poco el PAP-IMI es también útil en casos de Sida y cáncer. En muchos enfermos de Sida ha reducido la carga viral además de elevar el número de linfocitos-T hasta niveles normales. El doctor mexicano Jacobo Swilling lo reconocía ya en 1992. "Este dispositivo -afirmó Swilling- tiene un gran potencial para inactivar la infección viral y puede ser potencialmente una herramienta terapéutica que puede controlar con éxito el VIH y los problemas derivados del Sida (...) Es la mejor medicación contra el Sida que he conocido". Un año después el International Pain Research Institute (IPRI) de California confirmaba que los pulsos producían un aumento sustancial de los CD4, en un estudio con pocos pacientes.En 1994 el doctor Nick Tsilimigakis -del Scientific Institute for Biology de Atenas- realizó un estudio sobre siete pacientes con Sida combinando la aplicación del PAP-IMI con microcorrientes y grandes cantidades de vitamina C y otros minerales. Bueno, pues obtuvo unos resultados sorprendentes. En todos los casos los pacientes experimentaron una considerable mejoría física (más energía, mejores sensaciones de bienestar, aumento de peso, disminución de las diarreas) seguida por un espectacular aumento de los CD4. De un 41% en un mes a un 293% en seis meses. Diversas pruebas realizadas le llevaron a la conclusión que la aportación del PAP-IMI era superior a la de las microcorrientes. En un caso al menos la cantidad de virus en sangre se volvió indetectable después de 15 meses

de tratamiento combinado.En 1995 los doctores Stergiou, Papadopoulos, Arkadianos y Scoullos realizaron un estudio en el First Hospital of Social Security de Atenas con la aprobación de la Greek Nacional Drug Organization que confirmó los datos de los estudios anteriores con el PAP-IMI constatando una clara mejoría física del paciente, el aumento de CD4, la disminución de la carga viral y la recaída del paciente si abandonaba por largo tiempo el tratamiento.Además de los resultados clínicos obtenidos distintos estudios muestran que "in vitro" los virus del Sida pierden su capacidad infecciosa tras ser sometidos a una corriente eléctrica. De hecho, en alguna ocasión repetidas exposiciones a la corriente eléctrica parecen conseguir limpiar las muestras de sangre de VIH así como de hepatitis. Otros estudios de laboratorio -como los de J. Walleczek o los de A. Cossarizza sobre linfocitos humanos y campos electromagnéticos- respaldan la idea de que los campos pulsantes del PAP-IMI estimulan el crecimiento de las células CD4 en los pacientes de SIDA. Y existen también numerosas referencias que sugieren que las infecciones oportunistas como el sarcoma de Kaposi pueden mejorarse también a través del cambio en el potencial de membrana y la porosidad de la célula que producen los campos pulsantes electromagnéticos.En cuanto a la eficacia del PAP-IMI en casos de cáncer hablaremos de ello en el próximo número.

Ejemplos de investigaciones sobre los efectos de los campos electromagnéticos Estos son algunos ejemplos de estudios recientes sobre la influencia orgánica de los campos pulsantes electromagnéticos: En el 2003 el doctor Thomas Goodwim realizó para la NASA un estudio sobre los campos electromagnéticos titulado "Physiological and molecular genetic effects of time-varying Electromagnetic Fields of human neuronal cells". En él constató los beneficios de los campos pulsantes en la restauración de genes relacionados con lesiones neuronales. También demostraron que los tejidos expuestos a pulsos de campos electromagnéticos experimentaron un 300% en el aumento en las mitocondrias, componente básico celular. Como resumen, además de reafirmar los beneficios recogidos en una larga bibliografía, Goodwin señaló las enormes posibilidades de los pulsos electromagnéticos en el crecimiento de tejidos para trasplante, la reparación de tejidos afectados por traumas y la detención del progreso de algunas enfermedades neurodegenerativas. En el estudio "Effects of a pulsed electromagnetic therapy on multiple sclerosis fatigue and quality of life: a double-blind, placebo controlled trial" de Lappin MS y otros de la Energy Medicine Developments INC los autores afirman. "La evidencia de este estudio controlado, aleatorio, a doble ciego y placebo es consistente con los resultados de estudios más pequeños que sugieren que la exposición a los campos electromagnéticos pulsantes débiles pueden aliviar los síntomas de la esclerosis múltiple". En el trabajo sobre la migraña "Treatment of migraine with pulsing electromagnetic fields: a double-blind, placebo-controlled study" de Sherman RA y otros del Orthopedic Surgery Service, Madigan Army Medical Center, en Tacoma (USA) las conclusiones son similares. "La exposición a campos electromagnéticos pulsantes al menos por 3 semanas -puede leerse- es una intervención efectiva a corto plazo para las migrañas". Y en "Protective effect of low frequency low energy pulsing electromagnetic fields on acute experimental myocardial infarcts in rats" de Albertini A y otros, del Hospital S .M. Misericordia de Udine (Italia), los resultados indican que la exposición a campos pulsantes electromagnéticos es capaz de limitar el área de necrosis después de una lesión isquémica aguda causada por la ligazón permanente de la arteria descendente izquierda. "Estos datos -concluye el trabajo- están de acuerdo con los efectos protectores de los campos pulsantes electromagnéticos observados en isquemia aguda en ratas y en infartos cerebrales en conejos".

Investigaciones del International Pain Research Institute de California (IPRI) sobre el PAP-IMILas posibilidades terapéuticas del PAP-IMI son conocidas desde hace tiempo. Hace ya casi diez años el International Pain Research Institute -entonces en California-, tras dos años trabajando con cinco dispositivos PAPI-MI notificó al NHI (Nacional Health Institute) de Estados Unidos que resultaba eficaz en algunas patologías que permiten entrever sus posibilidades en enfermedades más complicadas: Infecciones de vejiga, agudas y crónicas. El International Pain Research Institute constató que en diversos casos los pulsos electromagnéticos pueden eliminar muchos tipos de infecciones de vejiga. El estudio sugirió que el PAP-IMI podría eliminar los síntomas de cistitis aguda o crónica. Úlceras varicosas, diabéticas o isquémicas después del fracaso de medidas terapéuticas convencionales. Estas úlceras pueden infectarse y gangrenarse produciendo la amputación. El International Pain Research Institute confirmó en varios casos que los pulsos electromagnéticos pueden mejorar la curación de estas úlceras aumentando el suministro de sangre, estimulando al mismo tiempo la formación de tejido y previniendo infecciones secundarias. Úlceras de decúbito después del fracaso de medidas terapéuticas convencionales. La úlcera de decúbito se define como una necrosis y ulceración de los tejidos de una prominencia ósea que se ha visto sujeta a una presión prolongada contra un objeto externo (por ejemplo la cama, una silla de ruedas, etc). Las úlceras de decúbito no sólo pueden afectar los tejidos superficiales sino también al músculo y al hueso. Debido a su localización y el tipo de paciente en que ocurren son difíciles de curar. El International Pain Research Institute encontró evidencias en varios casos de que los pulsos electromagnéticos pueden mejorar la curación de estas úlceras aumentando el suministro de sangre, estimulando al mismo tiempo la formación de tejido y previniendo infecciones secundarias. Este tratamiento combinado con una dieta bien-equilibrada alta en proteínas y el cuidado apropiado de la úlcera -como el alivio de la presión- puede cerrar estas lesiones sin cirugía. Herpes genitales recurrentes y otras condiciones inflamatorias de la piel después del fracaso de medidas terapéuticas convencionales. El International Pain Research Institute encontró evidencias en varios casos de que los pulsos electromagnéticos en el caso de estas enfermedades recurrentes de la piel -como herpes genitales, eritema multiforme, penfigo y otras condiciones inflamatorias de la piel- puede mejorar o curar completamente. Hemorroides edematosa. La hemorroide externa casi siempre es sumamente dolorosa. La hemorroide interior es a menudo asintomática pero en el segundo grado de su desarrollo empieza a sangrar y finalmente pueden sufrir la estrangulación, trombosis o ulceración que conllevan un dolor insoportable. El International Pain Research Institute constató que los pulsos electromagnéticos pueden eliminar el edema e inflamación de la hemorroide y ayudar el proceso curativo. Hipoxemia, resultado de la enfermedad pulmonar aguda y crónica después del fracaso de medidas terapéuticas convencionales. En la enfermedad pulmonar aguda y crónica pueden producirse los síntomas del Síndrome de Dolor Respiratorio Adulto (ARDS). El International Pain Research Institute comprobó que en varios casos los pulsos electromagnéticos pueden reducir el edema intrapulmonar, el espasmo del músculo involuntario y el broncoespasmo. Este estudio establece que el PAPI-IMI es eficaz en el tratamiento de la hipoxia debido a ARDS. El dolor pelviano debido al cáncer, endometriosis u otros desórdenes pelvianos dolorosos después del fracaso de medidas terapéuticas todo convencionales. El International Pain Research Institute comprobó que los pulsos electromagnéticos pueden eliminar el dolor pelviano o las condiciones inflamatorias. Aumento de los CD4 y disminución de la carga viral.
