This article explores Coulombic, Gaussian, and Photonic fields starting at
their historical roots up to their use in modern medicine for diagnosis and treatment.
These pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) understandings slowly evolved through
time. It took almost 400 years to have a clear scientific delineation of the different
forms that these phenomena can have, from static generators, batteries (direct current),
rotating coils of copper spun around a magnet to create alternating current, and
photonic waveforms such as the laser. At first, in the nineteenth century, treatments
proliferated but many people were injured from a lack of understanding of the effects
that these inventions had on human tissue. Melzack and Wall in the 1960s put forth the
control gate theory and the role of serotonin and the neuro transmitters in pain relief.
Concomitant to this was research into forms of meditation, both involuntary and
voluntary with the use of electrocardiography ECG and electroencephalogram EEG.
For neurological disease came the test of the velocity of nerve conduction from the
normal standard traveling through a given distance with the electromyography EMG.
The use of these diagnostic methods resulted in a less direct patient/doctor relationship.
Palpation, as well as the historical patient report, key to situate the patient's condition
into an appropriate context receded. Research by Bykov and Gant showed that the heart
is susceptible to noxious adverse conditioning to organ stress and adverse stimulation.
Acupuncture and electro-therapeutics have been shown to overcome psychosomatic
responses such as the phantom limb effect, emotional turmoil, neurological problems,
such as reflex sympathetic dystrophy and to calm the heart and viscera. The concept of
entropy is refuted for organic life due to the lack of application of inorganic
equilibrium scientific experiments to organic non equilibrium conditions espoused by
Prigogine. The electrophysiology of the heart with the sinoatrial (SA) node and the
atrioventricular (AV) node are the primary pacemaker cell groups in the heart and may
be implicated in diseased conditioning of the heart through de-synchronization and
body trauma.
