Bemer Frequently Asked Questions

Brief positional introduction:

The B.E.M.E.R. [ B io - E lectro - M agnetic - E nergy - R egulation] is the best researched, clinically proven and consistently effective pulsed electro magnetic field therapy (PEMFT) with demonstrated efficacy for a multitude of ailments and conditions.

The BEMER was developed by Innomed International AG based in Liechtenstein and the unique, breakthrough pulse "that makes all the critical difference" in pulsed electro magnetic field therapy was invented and patented by Prof Dr Wolf A Kafka .

The BEMER family of products are distributed in 45 different countries including most European states, the US and Canada , the Middle East as well as Australia and New Zealand .

The BEMER is accredited as a Medical Device with the SA Dept of Health and has been submitted to the Medicine Control Council (MCC). Many medical practitioners of all persuasions including Naturalists, Physiotherapists as well as allopathic (medical school/university-trained) doctors use the BEMER in their practices to good effect

The BEMER received many accolades in international fairs and exhibitions.

Seminars and workshops all over South Africa conducted by Innomed Africa have introduced the BEMER to about 4000 medical practitioners: seldom were there any serious challenges on scientific or clinical grounds.

SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -

Q: What are the most significant benefits of BEMER treatment?

Q: What is included in the BEMER System and what does it cost?

 The BEMER3000 Human System Complete  consists of the BEMER mat, the control panel, an intensive applicator with its pouch, the power transformer, a field sensor unit, a bag for convenient transport, and a towel, as well as a full instruction manual and a descriptive DVD.

Q: Is there a guarantee on the BEMER System?

The warranty is for 3 years, and faulty parts are replaced without questions; but there is very little that can go wrong.

Q: Aren't there cheaper magnetic systems around? Why pay R 29 000?

Think about it: if your car's motor ceases or it needs major repairs, you will spend any amount to get your mobility back.

But your own health is, in fact, priceless! - and should count for much more.

Sure there are cheaper systems - but the BEMER3000 is state of the art, backed by research, and proven in 45 countries.

Electro magnetic field therapy has not worked consistently in the past which explains the scepticism in medical circles, until the Prof Kafka developed the patented pulse of the BEMER.

Q: Does medical insurance cover BEMER purchase or BEMER treatment?

Medical practitioners can prescribe the BEMER treatment under current medical insurance policy and the claims are honoured. The purchase of a BEMER is not covered but INNOMED AFRICA has applied for its own "Nappy" Code in that regard. Progress is very slow but we are working on it.

Q: Aren't there many different PEMFT (pulsed electro magnetic field therapy) devices on the market and are they not all the same or at least similar?

No. Although we may all appear to work in the same field of application, we are not in the same BUSINESS. Besides, the BEMER is the breakthrough state-of-the-art device which alone made electro magnetic field therapy consistent, credible in terms of results and MEDICALLY approved. Beware of copycat products that look similar, appear to be similar and may be cheaper, but that have little or nothing to offer in terms of clinical studies, user studies and background research.

Anyone can make a product that produces a magnetic field, (there are hundreds of them and even your normal hotplate on a stove will produce one!) BUT only the BEMER3000 contains the breakthrough and patented Prof Dr Kafka waveform which does make all the difference between hit-and-miss electro magnetic field therapy of yesterday and effective and modern consistent BEMER Therapy.

In that light, although a Model T Ford is also a car, it couldn't be compared to the latest 7-Series BMW in terms of performance and efficiency.

Q: If the BEMER Therapy seems to work so well over so wide a range of ailments, why is it not more highly acclaimed by the medical fraternity in South Africa ?

Clinical trials, or rather the lack thereof, are often given as one of the reasons. Innomed agrees that such scientific trials are very important, but must point out that an indication-based remedy (such as used with medicines) requires a different type of approach, or qualifying standard, than a process-based one such as surgery, physiotherapy or pulsed electro magnetic field therapy.

In the latter case, the methodology has to be proven to be effective and safe and not the effect it has on every single ailment (there are more than 40000 different groups of ailments that can befall us!) The BEMER however, works on all the body's cells by bio-chemical activation at molecular level. Furthermore, by improving physiological parameters such as micro-circulation, oxygenation of the blood, T-Cell release (immune system) and the overall ability of the body to utilise the oxygen where it's needed, the body is enabled to stimulate its own natural regulating mechanisms. This has been credibly shown to be the case in clinical trials and wide-ranging user studies.

As such, BEMER3000 Therapy is not indication-oriented but process-based. The process BEMER therapy uses, causes an interaction between the body's cells and the weak pulsating electro magnetic field, which indirectly enhances the body's own regulatory mechanisms to correct many dysfunctions.

This does not make the BEMER therapy a "wonder-weapon" against specific diseases, but rather the "conditioner" which enables the body to look after itself through the process of bio-chemical interaction at cellular level in case of many life-style related chronic ailments. This is an important distinction to remember.

Q: Who works with BEMER?

Health practitioners, GPs, surgeons, veterinarians, sport coaches and trainers offer BEMER3000 Therapy to treat many medical conditions, sports injuries and to enhance performance. It is also used for regeneration in hospitals and Health Spas for post-operative recovery. It is widely used by retirement villages, quadriplegics, pain management clinics and even beauty parlours (skin-conditions). Private individuals use it for gaining and/or maintaining general health, vitality, re-generation and fitness, also for preventative health.

Q: As you mostly cannot feel anything when lying on the BEMER, what actually happens in my body physiologically?

The interaction of the BEMER3000 generated pulsed electro magnetic field with the body occurs at cellular level (which we cannot directly feel, of course) happens by activation of the cell's bio-chemical processes and improves energy levels

Through that process it

Those few basic but highly significant effects enable the body to "fight its own battles"

Q: Isn't it just a matter of "believing" in the "healing process", in other words "if you believe in it enough" you might come right?

That is easily contradicted by the fact that BEMER therapy is consistently successful in horses and other animals. (You cannot fool horses!)

Q: In one brief statement what does the BEMER treatment accomplish?

Above all, BEMER treatment supplies Quality of Life for a stressful modern lifestyle. BEMER treatment does not just provide symptomatic relief but it activates the body's own regulation systems and hence enables its self-healing capability.

It is as easy as lying down.
