Q: Why do I feel that tingling in my arms and legs after the B3K USA session?
A:
The B3K USA is transmitting very gentle pulsed electro magnetic field waves that stimulate our blood circulation like a workout. We all experienced how our arm or leg “go to sleep” when the blood circulation has been inhibited for a few minutes, due to a certain way of sitting, or, when we sleep and our leg or arm are pressed upon by our weight. When they “start to wake up” we feel the same tingling, that feels slightly uncomfortable, but, subsides real soon. When certain parts in our body do not get a proper blood circulation, due to several unwanted conditions, or due to scar tissue, the beginning of improved circulation, may create that tingling sensation. To many of us it is a true blessing, to be able to reactivate inactive blood circulation to those parts of our body, that suffered of poor circulation.
Q: Why do I feel as if I worked out or ran?
A:
Naturally we are built to be physically active like the small children, in order to maintain our fitness. Fitness means better health. Because, when we are fit, all our vital organs function appropriately and enable balanced vitality, good metabolism, good oxygen absorbency and strong Immune System. The B3K USA stimulated all those functions through the pulsed electro magnetic field remittance, and our body responds by, enhanced blood circulation, which enriches our blood with Oxygen that will be transported to each and every part in our body.
This is also the purpose of a good workout.
Q: Why don’t I feel anything after the session?
A:
We all are individual entities and each one of us responds differently to every stimulation life presents to us. There are just two possible reasons for feeling absolutely nothing with the use of the B3K USA at the beginning of the applications: One possible reason: If the device is not plugged in properly and does not work. Second possible reason: When our body is pretty run down and very unhealthy. In many cases alike, our internal functions must first be stimulated enough to be able to respond, and it may take a little longer time to really feel
the results. Yet, if we do not get discouraged too soon, we will surely enjoy the marvelous results of the pulsed electro magnetic field stimulation and find that improved fitness and wellbeing actually prevail.
Q: Why do I get so tired after I use the B3K USA?
A:
As mentioned before, the stimulation of the B3K USA application enhances our blood circulation like a good work out, and so, improves the oxygenation in our body. Sleep is also enabling the better oxygen supply and utilization in our body, like the Chinese medicine says: “Sleep cleans and enriches the blood”. There is a reason for us to need the sleep, and without the proper oxygenation, our body can not build and maintain good health and a functioning immune system. By using the B3K USA, the body experiences an improved circulation, and so, the oxygen absorption is significantly improved. This creates that very relaxed sensation. Yet, if we are over stressed in our daily life, or, in lots of pain, the enhanced blood circulation, as it naturally supposed to, not only supplies more oxygen to all our body parts and functions, but, also transfers the many toxic derbies out of the body. This is what we refer to when we mention the “stimulation of the self healing mechanism”. We call it a very natural and very healthy process. Healing – takes a lot of energy and makes us tired at first.
Q: What do you mean when you compare the B3K USA application to a good work out?
A:
A: The stimulation of the blood circulation, leads to so much better oxygen supply to all the different inner organs. The different inner organs then can regenerate recover and improve their functions, as well as synchronize with each other. That in turn leads to the better feeling we enjoy by a good work out, a better metabolism that helps us maintain good fitness and health. Like the workout, so does the B3K USA, helps to “get our system going” versus the sitting still, the wrong nutrition, the many hours in the office, the stress, over weight, anger, smoking etc. The B3K USA gets you workout, without the huffing and puffing, but through a very relaxing application. If you try it, and you feel the results, you will understand why we claim it to be a fitness and gymnastic device.
Q: Why is it necessary to drink more water when applying the B3K USA?
A:
Think of it this way. Our blood is the transportation of nutrients to every part of our body, yet, it is also the transporter of the toxins and derbies from the different parts of our body, to the organs which transfers them out of the body. This is the metabolism process. It is like the food and oxygen trucks, and the waste management trucks. The blood consists of 95% water. If we like to get our “trucks” work as good as possible, we must provide our body with plenty of water. It helps to wash the good in and the bad out.
Q: Why is the B3K USA not considered as a medical device?
A:
A medical device is supposed to address health problems, and expected to administer curing services. The B3K USA is nothing like that. It doesn’t administer any curing services, like the play ground is not administering curing services. It is though agreed that, playing children maintain good health, good state of mind, develop healthy bones, have a well functioning metabolism and grow up healthy and balanced. Unlike the children of our times who spend too much time sitting in front of computers, and TV’s and get sick like their grandparents. Many times we can find the sad situation in which grandparents have to see their grandchildren sick when they are healthier. The B3K USA is not trying to “heal” or “cure” anything. The bicycle is not a medication and not a medicine, yet, it is a given that, riding a bicycle daily, keeps your heart, your blood circulation, your fitness and well being in bets condition. Is it prescribed as a medical device? Absolutely not. The same goes for the B3K USA. Yes, by daily use, it definitely stimulates our own self healing mechanism, yet, it is a fitness and wellness device, and not a medical device.
Q: Why do we need the B3K USA more than in the past?
A:
In the past people had to walk for all their needs, people grew their own food and had to prepare if they wanted to eat. Our times are fully automated. True it saves us a lot of time to free us to do other things, yet, other things turned to be: spending more time sitting in front of the TV and computers, or in the cars and not moving enough. Our nutrition became incontrollable for many of us who are tempted by the engineered food industry and we feed off very harmful substances. The B3K USA is so badly needed in order to help our body to rebalanced our vital functions by proper activation and proper metabolism. It helps the body to “replace” the so vitally necessary movements, and expel the so harmful derbies. This is the secret for regenerating a healthier generation to come. If you are certain to use nothing but good healthy and fresh food, if you are physically active every day almost the whole day, if you are happy and have as little stress as simple life can allow, then, you sure do not need the B3K USA.
Q: Why would our bones benefit off the B3K USA?
A:
Small children grow healthy bones through their jumping around, playing jumping games, run around a lot, climbing and enjoy the outdoors activity. In our day and age, we adults do the very same only on vacation, once or in the good case twice a year. Like the Astronauts loose their bone density and need to take extra mesures to replenish their bones, so do we, adults. Do to lack of resistance, high sugar nutrition, too much salt in our food, pop soda of all kinds, and no bouncing motion on daily basis, we lose our bone density and tend to fractions. The B3K USA creates the closest imitation of the bouncing element so vital for our bones, as well as the blood circulation stimulus. This is a very supporting combination for healthier bones, hair and nails.
Q: I heard about the PEMF from my friend and she said that it is very dangerous to use higher
intensities, like the 200 gauss. What do you suggest?
A:
The body’s electro magnetic field is naturally of a significantly higher intensity than the bacteria and fungus cells. This is important for the body in order to keep the health equilibrium in balance. If the Electro Magnetic Field of the healthy cells, (e.g. Healthy cells are our healthy body natural cells), drops, it signifies the drop of the Immune System and ability to protect the healthy vital functions. The higher frequency stimulates this need of the body, to elevate the functionality of the self healing mechanism through healthy functioning of the cellular metabolism. When the electro magnetic field drops, it creates a furtal ground for those cells that the doctors call: Disease. If we are healthy, the “disease” can simply not exist.
Q: What experience is there with PEMF?
A:
This technology has undergone many scientific clinical trials worldwide. Tens of thousands of patients have been treated successfully. Of the treated patients, a very high success rate is reported, creating a dramatic improvement in their quality of life.
Q: What causes pain in joints?
A:
Between our bones are cushions of cartilage, which prevent grinding of the bones. When the layers of cartilage wear out, the bones begin to grind against each other, causing extreme pain. Under normal circumstances, the body replaces cartilage under control of tiny electrical signals. These electrical signals are created inside our body. Due to diseases -e.g. Osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, aging or injury- the normal replacement of cartilage is disturbed, causing pain and inflammation.
Q: How does PEMF reduce pain in joints?
A:
Pulsating electromagnetic fields influence cell behavior by inducing electrical changes around and within the cell. Improved blood supply increases the oxygen pressure, activating and regenerating cells. Increased calcium transport stimulates the repair and growth of cartilage while at the same time decreasing pain dramatically.
Q: How does PEMF relief back pain?
A:
PEMF has proven to be very effective for osteoporosis treatment. Due to improved blood supply oxygen levels increase, activating and regenerating cells. This results in improved calcium transport and better absorption of calcium in the bones and simultaneously decreases pain dramatically. In addition to the increase of bone density, results in improved fracture healing and less risk of breaking bones.
Q: Why do osteoporosis patients often have back pain?
A:
Due to ‘brittle’ bones osteoporosis patients often suffer from very painful micro-fractures in the vertebrae of the spine. Already after a few weeks of B3K USA treatments a high level of pain relief is obtained, which is explained by closing of these micro-fractures.
Q: Will bone density increase?
A:
A study at the Pacific Health Research Institute in Honolulu was designed to provide concrete data on the restoration of bone mass in post-menopausal females. Bone density rose with an average of 5.6%. At the university of Graz in Austria a similar study clearly showed an increase in bone density after one year of around 6%. These results make all the difference in functioning in good health or suffering with an increasing risk for spontaneous fractures. The proportionate increase in fracture risk is directly related to decreased bone density.
Q: How can it assist in bone non-union and fracture healing?
A:
PEMF has been proved to be very effective for healing of delayed bone non-union and for improved fracture healing. It has shown to be beneficial in case of problematic fractures and fractures with a large gap. Treatment can also be performed in case there are implants at site.
Q: And sports injuries?
A:
We clearly see a dramatic reduction in pain and inflammation in treatment for sports injuries. Swelling is reduced fast and PEMF stimulates the body to repair damaged tissue and speeds up the healing process.
Q: What about wound healing & varicose veins?
A:
Pulsing electromagnetic fields improve peripheral circulation and oxygenation. This causes better transport of nutrients and improves wound healing. In women with varicose veins fast pain relief is obtained and there is much less fatigue of the legs.
Q: How long is a typical session?
A:
Lengths of the programs are between 15 and 30 minutes. After the session is finished the energy is automatically switched off and the system goes in “stand-by” mode (like on your TV set).
Q: What are the side effects?
A:
This is the beauty of PEMF: there are no side effects. Sometimes the patient might feel some tingling due to improved circulation but this is no contraindication. Some people have a nice warm and comfortable feeling during the therapy session.
Q: How is the system beneficial for Health & Fitness?
A:
The computer controls the parameter settings *with lower energy levels* contributes to optimal energy regulating and health enhancing effects in a natural way. Normalization of membrane potential and improved metabolism is obtained supplying to the cells the optimum amount of energy contributing to general fitness and strength. Protein synthesis is increased by improved regeneration and disposal of waste materials is stimulated and the natural immune system activated. The overall energy level improves, health is stabilized and fitness
increases. It is an ideal way to maintain your own good health!
Q: What is the difference between regular magnets and PEMF?
A:
Our body’s natural magnetic field is created by the flow of electrically charged ions in and out of cells and the transmission of electric impulses through cell membranes. Only Pulsing electromagnetic Field (PEMF) force and not static magnets can influence on a cellular level. The magnetic strength value of static magnets (expressed in Gauss value) is not relevant at all, since the measured field strengths of permanent magnets range from 300 gauss to 16000 gauss at the surface, at 2 cm distance around 10 gauss and at 10 cm distance; absolutely nothing. In addition static magnets cannot create any electrical induction at all without being mechanically moved the whole time!
Q: What is Electromagnetism?
A:
The interaction of electrical and magnetic effect is known as electromagnetism. Electromagnetism is one of the most important concepts in physical science. An electromagnet consists of a piece of soft iron with electrical wire wrapped around it. When an electric current flows through the wire, it produces a magnetic field around the wire and the iron is magnetized. The greater the current, the stronger the magnetic field. By coiling up the wire many times, the magnetic field produced can be made even stronger.
Q: What has Lorenz force to do with PEMF?
A:
Electrical current in a coil causes a magnetic field. The magnetic field curls around electric wire in which the current flows. Electricity and magnetism are interrelated in many ways. They are manifestations of the same fundamental physical concepts. Maxwell equations show the relation between the electricity and magnetism. The combined effects of electrical and magnetic fields, is called Lorenz force. As result of induced Lorenz force pulsing electromagnetism will produce electricity in cells and this is the basis for Pulsing Electromagnetic Field Therapy.
Q: Electricity within the human body?
A:
It is long been known that there is electricity in our bodies: electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG) and Electromyogram (EMG). In 1956 the piezoelectric effect in bones was discovered by Fukada and Yasuda; a physicist and an orthopedic surgeon in Japan. The combined effects of electric and magnetic force explain that pulsing electromagnetic fields induce electrical changes on a cellular level within the body and cell metabolism is influenced.
Q: PEMF influences oxygen levels within cells?
A:
This can only be accomplished when the pulsing electromagnetic fields penetrate sufficiently deep within the human body. The electrical influence and increase of the membrane cell potential, causes an increase in oxygenation, which in turn increase the supply of nutrients. This results in disposal of waste products from the cells and cell detoxification.
Q: Why is the FDA so strongly against this kind of therapy?
A:
I guess, you don’t pay such high tuition in order to conclude that there is nothing truly healing and curing but Nature. You don’t pay such a high price and fuss around the so badly yearned title, to realize that the bottom line is again nothing but the simple natural body’s abilities.Not accepting the Pulse electromagnetic therapy is like not accepting nature, children bouncing all over the place, bicycle riding, dancing and so much more. It simply does not make any sense at all. The FDA doesn’t arrest a cardiologist or Gynicologist when they recommend to lose weight and to workout for the sake of their life. But, to find the very same results in the Vibrational medicine, is pushing too far.
Q: How do I know that the effect will be real and not just placebo?
A:
Most scientific clinical studies clearly show that in order to obtain clinical relevant results the minimum pulsing field strength must be at least 3-5 Milli Tesla (30 to 50 Gauss). In order to generate piezoelectricity inside bone and cells the field strength must exceed 10 Milli Tesla (100 gauss). There are different variations of large and expensive coil systems mounted on arms or beds, but none of these systems is able to generate energies higher than 100 gauss.
Q: Flat treatment pads versus bulky body coils?
A:
Additional disadvantage of large coil systems is that the magnetic field is very localized and mainly within the coil area only and not suitable for full body energizing. Many manufacturers use the latter method due to technological difficulties and complications in manufacturing and controlling high-density electrical currents within flat surface coils. Also creating stable and effective electromagnetic fields exceeding by far the 10 milli Tesla (100 gauss) level seems to be problematic for other manufacturers.
Q: Do energy levels above 10 milli Tesla always work?
A:
NO! The speed of change of the electromagnetic field induced into the body is very important to obtain the maximum possible force and thus penetration inside the body. This speed of magnetic induction is one of the most important parameters for obtaining nice and clear pictures in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines in hospitals, to obtain high speed tilting of hydrogen atoms in the body. These atoms emit the radio frequency signals, which are measured by the MRI coils and used to create the diagnostic picture. This explanation also clearly shows that a static magnetic field cannot generate any piezoelectric effect inside the body since there is no speed of change component when applying a permanent magnet.
Q: And what about energy levels under 0.1 milli Tesla?
A:
There are systems, which generate less than 0.1 milli Tesla (1 Gauss), which is much less than the normal background magnetic field in any regular household (fridge, TV etc.). There cannot be expected anything by the use of such a device, except for a placebo effect.
Q: Does the PEMF penetrate the whole body?
A:
Absolutely. The combination of the generated energy level and the speed of change of the pulses guarantee full body penetration, under condition that the minimum amount of energy generated is also sufficient.
Q: Can I actually feel the electromagnetic pulses?
A:
Just take the supplied test magnet in your own hand and feel the pulses! Maximum energy setting with the coil electrode even enables you to feel the pulses at a distance of over 40″ (1 meter) or at the other side of your body!
Q: What about battery powered systems?
A:
Battery powered equipment generate very short square, triangle or exponential pulses. In addition they are unable to generate the necessary high energy, electromagnetic fields simultaneously at each individual coil, otherwise the battery would be exhausted in a very short time. These systems will not induce any sufficient energy transfer into the body in order to obtain any realistic electron movement. The minuscule amounts of generated energy will not create any relevant or beneficial piezoelectric effect inside cells.
Q: Which pulse form is the best?
A:
All kinds of combination pulse forms have been tried and clinical studies support the use of pure sinusoidal waveform as basic carrier frequency, which is modulated with the pulsing frequencies. This warrants the necessary energy transfer during the pulse time into the body, if combined with sufficient speed of magnetic induction.
Q: What about the range of pulsing frequencies?
A:
The available pulsing frequencies of the PEMF system should cover a wide range in order to have available the best therapeutic possibilities for the various different applications. For treatment of diseases the range should be 1-50 Hz (above 50 Hz there is no more relevant therapeutic effect) and for health and fitness 1-22 Hz.
Q: What about using a fixed pulsing frequency?
A:
When sitting in a plane we experience noise made by the motors of the plane. After a short while we do hardly notice this noise anymore. This is due to the ability of our body to adapt to surrounding disturbances and thus canceling out this noise. The same holds true for magnetic fields, which pulse the whole time with the same frequency and intensity. These pulses are a disturbance for the body and it will adapt to this pulsing frequency after just a few minutes and the effect will become close to nil (this is the reason why some manufacturers call for the use of just 8 minutes) By automatically changing the used pulsing frequencies every couple of minutes this adaptation effect is avoided and effective therapy is thus obtained for the whole therapy session.
Q: Why do I need more than one program?
A:
There is no human being exactly like the other and we are all unique with unique differences. This means that it is impossible to know in advance if the same treatment parameters will work for all people the same way! In order to be sure that we will get the best possible effects we need different program possibilities, hence the choice out of 10 different Master programs for the B3K USA systems!
Q: What can I expect?
A:
There are hundreds of studies, which show a wide variety of applications of pulsing electromagnetic fields (PEMF). Many studies confirm that if some basic rules are being observed, with respect to the applied therapy parameters and the use of correct equipment, the benefits for the patient are substantial. Overall success rate for this form of therapy varies between 50 and 80 %. Evaluation of more than 3000 patients at a large university hospital using B3K USA systems has shown an overall success rate of 87%!
Q: How do I know that more oxygen is distributed through my body?
A:
Evaluation has been done by means of Thermo graphs (measuring the heat coming from a body made by means of infrared technology). We can clearly see the differences between a temperature scan before and after PEMF treatment. The differences in color distribution clearly show an increased perfusion and thus increase of oxygen supply.
Q: Other systems have many more knobs, so they are better?
A:
On the contrary, our engineers and programmers suffered many sleepless nights in order to reduce any control function, which might confuse the user. This lead to the development of completely automatic programs controlled by the built-in computer system. The system is extremely easy to use and has only 4 controls: start, stop, pause and program number.
Q: Do I need a PC or laptop-computer to run the B3K USA 2000PC?
A:
The B3K USA, is a completely autonomous system, which runs without laptop or PC. It contains already 10 Master programs (each divided again into sub-programs) which run completely automatic. If you would like to compile your own programs you will need a PC or Laptop, which is then connected to the unit.
Q: On what voltage and frequency does the system work?
A:
The B3K USA is factory set for either 115V / 60 Hz or for 230V / 50 Hz.
Q: How much does the unit weigh and is it portable?
A:
The weight of the unit is only ~ 5.5 lbs or ~ 2.5 kg and is very much portable
Q: What is so unique about the B3K USA systems?
A:

Q: Can you explain the price difference between the B3K USA and the BEMER3000?
A. Thank you for asking. B3K USA keeps NO high overhead expenses, and pays less attention to the outer looks. Our goal is to be very frugal with our expenses in order to keep the price as low as possible. After all, people don’t purchase the device for the beauty of the bag, the useless extra towel, and our distributors don’t get such a significant chunk off the sale. This way, B3K USA, Inc. Is able to keep the price lower to the customer, yet, provide a much better and stronger device.
Q: What do we have for Stroke survivors
A:
New !!! Regain your muscle control Best Stroke survivor’s rehabilitation device in the world yet designed. By training the brain and not just the muscles. For individual and therapists use. Painless, and FDA approved two different systems, both developed for home therapy two different systems, both developed for home therapy as well as clinical therapy.as well as clinical therapy.After a stroke, control signals from the brain often cannot reach some muscles, typically in the hand or foot. Without these signals, the level of electrical activity in these muscles is too low for them to contract adequately on their own, causing them to become increasingly weaker. Cerebral Palsy. The technology has undergone many scientific clinical trials worldwide. Thousands of stroke survivors have been treated successfully. Of the treated stroke survivors, a very high success rate is reported, resulting in a dramatic improvement in their quality of lives.
