Why Older PEMF Devices Claim Higher Gauss Ratings and Why These Claims Are ExaggeratedUpdated 2 months ago

1. Misleading Measurement Practices:

   - Older PEMF devices often claim higher Gauss ratings, but these figures are measured at the coil's surface or at the maximum output setting, which does not represent the field strength users experience at a practical distance.

   - Gauss ratings can also be measured using different methods or parameters, resulting in inflated numbers that look impressive on paper but don't translate to effective performance.

2. Focus on Single Metric:

   - Many manufacturers of older devices emphasize Gauss because it's a simple number that sounds impressive, even though it’s only one factor influencing effectiveness. It doesn’t account for waveform type, frequency precision, or energy field uniformity, all of which are critical for therapeutic benefits.

3. High Gauss Isn’t Always Better:

   - Extremely high Gauss can cause overstimulation of cells, leading to diminishing returns or even counterproductive effects on cellular healing. The body responds better to precisely tuned frequencies and moderate field strengths rather than raw power.

4. Technological Limitations:

   - Older devices rely on outdated technology that prioritizes brute force (higher Gauss) rather than precision engineering and intelligent field modulation. This results in inefficient energy use and less targeted therapy.
