Multiple Sclerosis
The first trials in treating MS with LFMF were undertaken by Prof. R Sandyk in the USA in 1992, results of which are in the public domain. It is surprising how little is known about the trial by the sufferers and the organizations providing support.
In the latest study of 64 sufferers, after a course of treatment with magnetostimulation, 50% of patients showed permanent and significant improvement in several parameters. Another 40% showed variable improvement and only 10% showed very little response. MRI scanning following this particular study showed that the improvement was not related to the decrease in demyelination of the nerve fibres. (90% benefited from treatment)

Electro-Magnetic Stimulation (EMS) is a natural, non invasive, drug free treatment for both physical and psychological conditions. The treatment is established in mainstream healthcare in many European countries including Poland, Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland. It has been used in particular to treat, acute/chronic pain and the symptoms of many conditions such as arthritis, stroke osteoporosis, sports injuries stress and depression. However, I was interested in whether it might be able to improve my MS symptoms of poor mobility, dodgy balance and reduced sensory feedback.
Magnetic Mark
Having exchanged a few e-mails with Mark Grubb of Med & Mind in Bury St Edmunds; I went along for a session. Mark is fully certified in psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, counselling and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming). He then heard about EMS and after researching it fully, decided that it would be a complementary tool to help clients regain their physical health as well as their mental and emotional health. After going through extensive training with Medica Health, the UK supplier, Mark was ready to start treating patients and he hasn’t looked back since! Mark says “I have a very wide variety of clients; those with back pain, migraine and sports injuries etc often find partial if not complete relief of their symptoms. For those clients with chronic neurological conditions like MS, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s it is a more long term and complicated process with varied results. In fact Mark would advise clients to think about buying a home version, after experiencing improvement in the clinic. I believe in a holistic approach to a person’s health, some clients just need a sympathetic ear, but I can offer them hypnotherapy, counselling or NLP in addition to the EMS if needed.”
The Magnetic Bed
Firstly we talked about my background, home situation and of course my health. Mark then introduced me to the bed; it’s like a massage couch, but with a large hoop at one end (which can slide up the bed and emit magnetic pulses to specific areas of the body) and a low pillow at the other. The computer connected to the bed has various set programmes depending on the health issue being addressed. Apart from the bed, there is also a magnetic pad (about 2 feet by 1 foot) a smaller hoop (for knees, hands, elbows etc) and a “pen” which is ideal for sports injuries or arthritis.
I didn’t feel a thing
I climbed onto the bed (getting my wayward feet through the large hoop was a small challenge) then I had my first 12 minute session. This programme emits a low to medium magnetic pulse through the whole body, but you don’t feel a thing – or at least I didn’t! Some people do experience mild tingling or warmth on the areas being treated, but for me it was just like lying on an ordinary bed. Mark then placed the magnetic pad along my spine and I had another 12 minutes of concentrated pulses in this problem area. This was followed up with a final 12 minutes with the pad across my hips and that was all there was to it! I went back the following week and had another EMS session. In fact, because I unfortunately didn’t see any changes to my MS, I continued to have the weekly sessions for about three months. I hasten to add that these were complimentary, in the hope of me being able to write about my own improvements.
Non-MS breakthrough!
Having EMS has not been a waste of time for me though; I have a long-standing knee problem that tends to flare-up when the cold, damp weather of autumn arrives. True to form, back in November, I went to get up one night and found that my “niggly” knee gave way and wouldn’t take my weight! I mentioned this to Mark and once I’d had my first 12 minutes on the bed, he then focused on treating my knee. I had 12 minutes with my knee in the small hoop then Mark used the “pen” on the painful area. I have not had a problem with it since, it hasn’t given way on me and I’ve not experienced anything more than the occasional dull ache. Success at last! Determined as Mark is for me to see some improvements in my MS, he has loaned me his “home kit” which comprises a magnetic mattress, pad, small strap-on unit and programmable computer. So, after a training session, including written instructions, I’m now treating myself every third day at home. As is always the case with MS, what works for one may not work for another, but I am happy to be a “work in progress” for now. I shall report back if I have any improvements!
Case Study: Gary Grimwood 
Gary, 40, lives in Glemsford, Suffolk with his partner Jenny. He has SPMS and was diagnosed seven years ago. Gary heard about Med & Mind through his sister-in-law, who had visited Mark for Hypnotherapy.
Week on Week Improvements
Gary uses a wheelchair most of the time, he has a catheter and although he has some upper body strength, his arms and hands are affected with tremor. When we met, Gary had been for 6 weekly sessions of EMS; each time he has seen some kind of improvement. He has found that the stiffness in his legs has lessened, Gary says “I usually need someone to help bend my legs to get me in and out of the car, but since I’ve been having the magnetic therapy, my legs have become much more supple; sometimes I can bend them without help from me or anyone else!” Mark recalls that on Gary’s first visit it was a real effort for both of them to get Gary’s legs bent and into the magnetic “hoop” at the end of the bed; but after the treatment Gary could bend his legs to climb out.
I’ve Got Ribs!
Amongst some of the other improvements, Gary now has returned sensation in areas of his previously-numb torso. “I can now feel my ribs and sometimes I’m aware of backache if I’ve been sitting in one position for too long, which I never used to be able to feel”.
“As well as my legs being suppler, my tremor is much better straight after a session of EMS and my very sluggish bowels are now responding so I’m far less constipated than I was” says Gary.
He adds “The first time I had a session I had a sensation like someone was drilling into my hips; it wasn’t at all painful, but pleasantly warm.”
The first thing I noticed when Gary started his EMS session was that the slight slurring in his speech disappeared!
The speech and tremor are two symptoms that improve whilst having the treatment and immediately afterwards, but they do return, although to a lesser extent.
However, all the other improvements are long standing, All these improvements have encouraged Gary to try things out at home to push his physical abilities a bit. “I can pull myself up and out of the wheelchair and take a step onto the bottom stair now. I am determined that I’ll climb the whole staircase one of these days!”
Gary is now regularly using an exercise machine at the Disability Resource Centre to regain his strength; he said “This is something I wouldn’t have been bothered with before visiting the Med & Mind clinic.
Talking to Mark has helped me to think differently because he really listens.” He added “There may be someone up there (pointing at the sky) But I reckon Mark’s doing me more good.” Gary continues to see Mark on a weekly basis.
As the majority of his improvements are remaining between sessions, Gary feels that he is continually building a path towards overall improved health and that can only be good news!
Testimonial
Hi Mark, I just couldn't wait to tell you - I have had an AMAZING day!!! I didn't get up once last night to go to the toilet, which is extraordinary in itself. Today the count has been about 6 - 7 at most. This must be the first time in over ten years that I have had a "normal" day - the kind of day that most people would take for granted. I know that things may change tomorrow, but there is still the underlying positive trend that I have monitored. So, a very big thank you!!!!

1 Scientific Trials – Articles Specifically Relating to Viofor JPS in the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
1.1 Effect of variable magnetic field on motor impairment and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis

Brola W, Wegrzyn W, Czernicki J.
Modern treatment of multiple sclerosis (SM) takes into consideration the current stage of the disease, symptomatic treatment and modification of the course of the disease. The most promising method of management is immunotherapy. It is, however, effective only in some cases, in patients with low degree of disability, and it is rather expensive. In view of some recent reports concerning the possibility of utilisation of variable magnetic fields in the treatment of SM, the study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of impulses generated by magnetic field obtained by means of VIOFOR JPS stimulator. The study was carried out on 76 subjects with long-term history of clinically confirmed SM. The mean duration of the disease was 8.5 years, and the mean age of the patients 37.8 years. The patients were divided into two groups: the study group and the controls. In the study group the patients were exposed to magnetic fields generated by VIOFOR JPS. Magnetic stimulation was not applied in the control group. The progress of the disease according to EDDS and the quality of life according to Testa and Simonson Questionnaire were assessed on admission and after 21 days of stimulation. No significant differences between the groups were found with respect to motor impairment evaluated using the EDDS score (6.2 at the beginning of the study and 5.1 after 21 days; in the control group--6.1 and 5.6, respectively). The quality of life was found to be significantly better in the group exposed to magnetic field stimulation than in the controls (p < 0.01). Particular variables contributing to the physical, psychological and social component of quality of life were analysed in detail. The most significant difference was observed with respect to the improvement of mental condition of the patients (alleviation of depression, elimination of anxiety, better emotional control), as well as to the decrease of muscle tone, dysaesthesia and painful sensations. No side effects were observed in any of the cases. The obtained effects encourage us to recommend magnetic stimulation as a method supplementing symptomatic treatment of patients with multiple sclerosis.
1.2 Successful treatment of multiple sclerosis with magnetic fields

The present communication concerns a 50 year-old woman with a 15 year history of chronic-progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) in whom extracranial application of picoTesla magnetic fields (MF) produced a dramatic and sustained improvement in disability. In contrast, administration of melatonin (3 mg, P.O.) produced in this patient a rapid exacerbation of disability which was reversed subsequently by treatment with MF. It is hypothesized that the therapeutic effects of picoTesla MF involve the mediation of the pineal gland which is known to act as a magnetosensor. The report demonstrates, for the first time, the remarkable efficacy of weak MF in the symptomatic treatment of chronic-progressive MS and underscores the pivotal role of the pineal gland in the pathophysiology of MS. If confirmed by a larger cohort of patients, extracranial application of picoTesla MF may prove as an extremely efficacious, non-pharmacological modality for the treatment of MS.

A 55 year old woman with multiple sclerosis presented with a 5 week history of an exacerbation of symptoms. Prominent among these symptoms was trigeminal neuralgia, migraine headaches, blurring of vision, and ataxia of gait. While treatment with carbamazepine (TegretolR) (800 mg/d) and oral prednisolone (15 mg/d) over a 4 week period produced no improvement in symptoms, externally applied magnetic fields (MF) (7.5 picoTesla; 5 Hz) placed over the scalp for a 7 minute period on three different days resulted in a complete resolution of symptoms within two weeks of initiation of treatment. Partial relief of the neuralgic pain and headaches was obtained immediately after completion of the first treatment indicating that resolution of symptoms was related to the effects of MF and not to a spontaneous remission. This is the first report demonstrating the clinical efficacy of pico Tesla range MF in rapidly resolving an acute relapse of MS.
1.4 Resolution of longstanding symptoms of multiple sclerosis by application of picoTesla range magnetic fields.

Recent clinical reports have suggested that treatment with extremely weak magnetic fields (MF) in the picoTesla range is an efficacious modality for the symptomatic therapy in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) during the remission and exacerbation periods of the disease. The present communication concerns a 64 year old woman with a 22 year history of MS of the chronic-progressive type who presented with a longstanding history of ataxia of gait, weakness in the legs, difficulties with swallowing, loss of bladder control, blurred vision, diplopia, chronic fatigue, and cognitive impairment. In this patient two 30 minute treatments with MF on two separate days resulted in a dramatic improvement of symptoms. Specifically, the patient experienced marked improvement in balance and gait as well as increased strength in the legs to the extent that she was able to abandon the use of a walker within 48 hours after initiation of magnetic treatment. In addition, there was complete resolution of diplopia, bladder dysfunction, and fatigue with improvement in mood and cognitive functions. The report attests to the unique efficacy of extremely weak MF in the symptomatic treatment of patients with MS including those patients with a chronic progressive course of the disease and supports the hypothesis that dysfunction of synaptic conductivity due to neurotransmitter deficiency specifically of serotonin rather than demyelination underlies the neurologic deficits of the disease.
1.5 Progressive cognitive improvement in multiple sclerosis from treatment with electromagnetic fields.

It has long been recognized that cognitive impairment occurs in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) particularly among patients with a chronic progressive course. MS is considered a type of "sub cortical dementia" in which cognitive and behavioral abnormalities resemble those observed in patients with a frontal lobe syndrome. The Bicycle Drawing Test is employed for the neuro-psychological assessment of cognitive impairment specifically that of mechanical reasoning and visuographic functioning. It also provides clues concerning the patient's organizational skills which are subserved by the frontal lobes. Extracerebral pulsed applications of picotesla flux intensity electromagnetic fields (EMFs) have been shown to improve cognitive functions in patients with MS. I present three patients with long standing symptoms of MS who, on the initial baseline, pretreatment Bicycle Drawing Test, exhibited cognitive impairment manifested by omissions of essential details and deficient organizational skills. All patients demonstrated progressive improvement in their performance during treatment with EMFs lasting from 6-18 months. The improvement in cognitive functions, which occurred during the initial phases of the treatment, was striking for the changes in organizational skills reflecting frontal lobe functions. These findings demonstrate that progressive recovery of cognitive functions in MS patients are observed over time through continued administration of picotesla flux intensity EMFs. It is believed that the beneficial cognitive effects of these EMFs are related to increased synaptic neurotransmission and that the progressive cognitive improvement noted in these patients is associated with slow recovery of synaptic functions in monoaminergic neurons of the frontal lobe or its projections from subcortical areas.
1.6 Application of weak electromagnetic fields facilitates sensory-motor integration in patients with multiple sclerosis.

PMID: 8727686 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
Sandyk R., NeuroCommunication Research Laboratories,
Electro-physiological studies in behaving animals have shown the function of cerebral serotonin (5-HT) neurons to be altered in association with motor output in both the tonic and repetitive modes and also in relation to an orienting response. Brainstem 5-HT neurons increase their firing rate two to five-fold during repetitive motor activity to facilitate motor output while simultaneously suppressing transmission in sensory pathways. Reciprocally, during an orienting response motor activity is suppressed and 5-HT neuronal activity is inhibited to facilitate transmission of sensory information. These reciprocal changes in 5-HT neuronal activity serve to facilitate brainstem reticular sensory-motor integration which, due to 5-HT neurotransmission deficiency, may be disrupted in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). For instance, MS patients are unable to process auditory information in the presence of competing ambient stimuli, while under a controlled laboratory environment they demonstrate unimpaired verbal information processing. This report concerns three MS patients who experienced rapid deterioration in balance resulting in falling when subjected, during ambulation, to distracting external auditory stimuli. After receiving a series of treatments with low frequency picotesla range intensity electromagnetic fields (EMFs), which were applied extracranially for brief periods, these patients experienced resolution of these symptoms with ambulation being unaffected by auditory stimuli. It is suggested that application of picotesla EMFs may restore abnormal reticular sensory-motor integration in MS patients with the effect being related to facilitation of 5-HT neuro-transmission at both junctional (synaptic) and nonjunctional neuronal target sites.
1.7 Treatment with electromagnetic fields reverses the long-term clinical course of a patient with chronic progressive multiple sclerosis.

It is estimated that 10-20% of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have a chronic progressive (CP) course characterized by an insidious onset of neurological deficits followed by steady progression of disability in the absence of symptomatic remission. To date no therapeutic modality has proven effective in reversing the clinical course of CP MS although there are indications that prolonged treatment with picotesla electromagnetic fields (EMFs) alters the clinical course of patients with CP MS. A 40 year-old woman presented in December of 1992 with CP MS with symptoms of spastic paraplegia, loss of trunk control, marked weakness of the upper limbs with loss of fine and gross motor hand functions, severe fatigue, cognitive deficits, mental depression, and autonomic dysfunction with neurogenic bladder and bowel incontinence. Her symptoms began at the age of 18 with weakness of the right leg and fatigue with long distance walking and over the ensuing years she experienced steady deterioration of functions. In 1985 she became wheelchair dependent and it was anticipated that within 1-2 years she would become functionally quadriplegic. In December of 1992 she began experimental treatment with EMFs. While receiving regularly weekly transcortical treatments with AC pulsed EMFs in the picotesla range intensity she experienced during the first year improvement in mental functions, return of strength in the upper extremities, and recovery of trunk control. During the second year she experienced the return of more hip functions and recovery of motor functions began in her legs. For the first time in years she can now initiate dorsiflexion of her ankles and actively extend her knees voluntarily. Over the past year she started to show signs of redevelopment of reciprocal gait. Presently, with enough function restored in her legs, she is learning to walk with a walker and is able to stand unassisted and maintain her balance for a few minutes. She also regained about 80% of functions in the upper limbs and hands. Most remarkably, there was no further progression of the disease during the 4 years course of magnetic therapy. This patient's clinical recovery cannot be explained on the basis of a spontaneous remission. It is suggested that pulsed applications of picotesla EMFs affect the neurobiological and immunological mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of CP MS.
1.8 Therapeutic effects of alternating current pulsed electromagnetic fields in multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis is the third most common cause of severe disability in patients between the ages of 15 and 50 years. The cause of the disease and its pathogenesis remain unknown. The last 20 years have seen only meager advances in the development of effective treatments for the disease. No specific treatment modality can cure the disease or alter its long-term course and eventual outcome. Moreover, there are no agents or treatments that will restore premorbid neuronal function. A host of biological phenomena associated with the disease involving interactions among genetic, environmental, immunologic, and hormonal factors, cannot be explained on the basis of demyelination alone and therefore require refocusing attention on alternative explanations, one of which implicates the pineal gland as pivotal. The pineal gland functions as a magnetoreceptor organ. This biological property of the gland provided the impetus for the development of a novel and highly effective therapeutic modality, which involves transcranial applications of alternating current (AC) pulsed electromagnetic fields in the picotesla flux density. This review summarizes recent clinical work on the effects of transcranially applied pulsed electromagnetic fields for the symptomatic treatment of the disease.
2 Scientific Articles – General Trials Relating to the Therapeutic and Analgesic Effects of Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields
2.1 Double-blind study of pulsing magnetic field effects on multiple sclerosis.

We performed a double-blind study to measure the clinical and subclinical effects of an alternative medicine magnetic device on disease activity in multiple sclerosis (MS). The MS patients were exposed to a magnetic pulsing device (Enermed) where the frequency of the magnetic pulse was in the 4-13 Hz range (50-100 milliGauss). A total of 30 MS patients wore the device on preselected sites between 10 and 24 hours a day for 2 months. Half of the patients (15) randomly received an Enermed device that was magnetically inactive and the other half received an active device. Each MS patient received a set of tests to evaluate MS disease status before and after wearing the Enermed device. The tests included (1) a clinical rating (Kurtzke, EDSS), (2) patient-reported performance scales, and (3) quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) during a language task. Although there was no significant change between pretreatment and posttreatment in the EDSS scale, there was a significant improvement in the performance scale (PS) combined rating for bladder control, cognitive function, fatigue level, mobility, spasticity, and vision (active group -3.83 +/- 1.08, p < 0.005; placebo group -0.17 +/- 1.07, change in PS scale). There was also a significant change between pretreatment and posttreatment in alpha EEG magnitude during the language task recorded at various electrode sites on the left side. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled study, we have demonstrated a statistically significant effect of the Enermed magnetic pulsing device on patient performance scales and on alpha EEG magnitude during a language task.

The effect of repetitive magnetic stimulation on spasticity was evaluated in 38 patients with multiple sclerosis in a double-blind placebo-controlled study. One group was treated with repetitive magnetic stimulation (n = 21) and the other group with sham stimulation (n = 17). Both groups were treated twice daily for 7 consecutive days. Primary end-points of the study were changes in the patients self-score, in clinical spasticity score, and in the stretch reflex threshold. The self-score of ease of daily day activities improved by 22% (P = 0.007) after treatment and by 29% (P = 0.004) after sham stimulation. The clinical spasticity score improved -3.3 +/- 4.7 arbitrary unit (AU) in treated patients and 0.7 +/- 2.5 AU in sham stimulation (P = 0.003). The stretch reflex threshold increased 4.3 +/- 7.5 deg/s in treated patients and -3.8 +/- 9.7 deg/s in sham stimulation (P = 0.001). The data presented in this study supports the idea that repetitive magnetic stimulation has an antispastic effect in multiple sclerosis. Future studies should clarify the optimal treatment regimen.

2.4 Magnetostimulation in Pain Medicine
[Ewa Boerner, Marzena Koblanska, Ewa Biec, Barbara Ratajczak, Ewa Demczuk-Wlodarczuk, Aneta Demidas. Jounal: Acta Bio-Optica et Informatica Medica, Vol 9. 2003 pp.131-135]
Summary
Physical management in terms of analgesic action is used by means of several mechanical and physical methods. Slow alternating magnetic field magnetostimulation with very low magnetic induction is one of very interesting methods. Advantageous biological effects of these magnetic fields acting on live organisms broaden its use in physiotherapy and caused its use in pain medicine. In the publications there are shown the results of investigation indicating increase of blood flow and decrease of muscle tension during the magnetostimulation. These effects caused usage of magnetostimulation for managing the pain syndromes common in the course of many nervous, bone-and-joint, blood and metabolic diseases. Occurrence of the special resonance frequencies connected with the acting of alternating magnetic fields on biological objects is a background of the ionic cyclotron resonance theory. Polish scientists, authors of this method, conducted comprehensive biotechnical and clinical analysis of the original Viofor JPS device in which one can use electro-dynamic effect of alternating magnetic field on body ions currents, ionic cyclotron resonance of cations and anions of the body fluids and magneto-mechanic action of magnetic fields on particles with non-compensated magnetic spins. Because of theses effects it come to changes in distribution of ions in intra- and extra-cellular compartments and differentiations of quiescent potentials. These cause advantageous increase of ion transport in cellular membranes and organelles. 5 years experience of the authors with managing the chronic pain patients with Viofor JPS device, was presented in short review of acquired analgesic effects, emphasising analgesiologic action of magnetostimulation.
