INTRODUCTION TO ELECTROMEDICINE AND ELECTROTHERAPEUTICS
In 1898, Tesla published a paper that he read at the eighth annual meeting of the American
Electro-Therapeutic Association in Buffalo, NY entitled, “High Frequency Oscillators for Electro- Therapeutic and Other Purposes.” He states that “One of the early observed and remarkable
features of the high frequency currents, and one which was chiefly of interest to the physician,
was their apparent harmlessness which made it possible to pass relatively great amounts of
electrical energy through the body of a person without causing pain or serious discomfort.”1
Tesla also concluded correctly that bodily “tissues are condensers” in the 1898 paper, which
today is estimated to be about 100-300 pF. It is also the basic component (dielectric) for an
equivalent circuit only recently developed for the human body. In fact, the relative permittivity
for tissue at any frequency from ELF (10 Hz-100 Hz) through RF (10 kHz-100 MHz) exceeds
most commercially available dielectrics on the market. This unique property of the human
body indicates an inherent adaptation and innate compatibility toward the presence of high
voltage electric fields, probably due to the high transmembrane potential (TMP) gradient in
healthy individuals, present across cellular membrane tissue. This surprisingly intense electric
field, which averages 100 kV/cm or equivalently 10 MV/m as noted in our first figure, is
extraordinary because it demonstrates the body’s ability to withstand high electric field energy,
like storing a lightning bolt in each cell. It is also one of the only two ways that the human body
stores energy (electrical gradients or chemical gradients). We have found that debilitated
people, with or without disease, will respond to a five-minute exposure of a high voltage
therapy device and report an increase in their liveliness and vitality almost immediately.
For example, a client of ours named Susan R. wrote to us to place an order for our portable
Tesla-coil- styled Premier Junior stating, “About an hour after I tried the device for the 2nd time
on the last day of the conference I had so much energy I packed up and drove 7 hours to get
home. After I got home, I still had energy to burn! I cannot wait to have more of that on a regular
basis!” This seems to be related to the “charging” of the body’s condensers (capacitors) which
are the cell’s membranes. Another reason is that electrons are the active ingredient in
antioxidants and have the ability to quench free radical damage faster than any pill or capsule

(more explanation in a later section of this article). Tesla also indicates that the after-effect from
his coil treatment “was certainly beneficial” but that an hour exposure was too strong to be
used frequently. This has been found to be still true today with the various Tesla coil therapy
devices.2

Throughout the early 1900’s, thousands of electrical devices were invented and used by
doctors to effectively ameliorate a variety of illness, disease, infection, and malady. As far back
as September 6, 1932, Dr. Gustave Kolisher announced to the American Congress of Physical
Therapy in New York that "Tesla's high-frequency electrical currents are bringing about highly
beneficial results in dealing with cancer, surpassing anything that could be accomplished with
ordinary surgery." Though a few devices and textbooks survive to this day, most have been
wiped out by the special interests of the A.M.A. and the F.D.A. Today, it is ironic that cancer,
AIDS, and a host of other diseases remain in the limbo of research almost indefinitely with only
incremental improvements in care revealed by all of the medical institutions. On the other
hand, there is a resurgence in the science of bioelectromagnetics (BEMs), which is the study of
the effect of electromagnetic fields on biological systems. There are presently many
instruments and devices re-emerging that bring beneficial health changes to human
organisms, including one developed by this presenter. Electromedicine, electrotherapy or
electromagnetic healing are the terms applied to such developments in the ELF, RF, IR, visible
or UV band, which when properly used, represent the ideal, noninvasive therapy of the future.
Studies by numerous doctors and scientists have demonstrated incontrovertible evidence for
the benefits of BEM healing, for a wide variety of illnesses, with a surprisingly lack of harmful
side effects. Another example of the benefits we hear about firsthand is from Elliott who wrote
down his experience: “I have been suffering from nerve damage in my back for several years
now. I have had several operations, physical therapy and tons of pain killers. I heard you on

Coast to Coast3 and decided to order the Premier Junior! Wow, I experience relief immediately,
so much so, that I brought it to my Neurosurgeon’s office, and ask that they include it in my
treatments. My doctor was so impressed that he bought one as well! When I first got the
Premier, I was using a wheelchair, after 4 months, I was walking with a walker and now I am
walking with a cane! I use it every day, morning and night and will never be without it! Thanks
so much!” One of the many interesting examples of how sophisticated high voltage
electrotherapy was a century ago is the book, Use of Electricity on the Face and Scalp by Emily
Lloyd (Marinello Pub., 1924) with many examples and illustrations which we now distribute
through our institute. Another more extensive publication is the Medical Electricity textbook
by Sinclair Tousey M.D. which we borrowed from Jeff Behary (Electrotherapy Museum) and
copied four major chapters for distribution by our nonprofit research organization
(www.Integrity-Research.org) which is available in a computer CD format. Below is the table
of contents for the textbook excerpt on the CD and a sample illustration from the book. Dr.
Tousey was a consulting surgeon at St. Bartholomew’s Clinic in New York City when the book
was published by Saunders and Company in 1916.
