If you're like most of our customers, you're seeking to gain a better understanding of PEMF therapy and all the different PEMF devices available today. However, because PEMF therapy combines two highly complex sciences — human biology and pulsed electromagnetic fields — it can be quite confusing!

As you can see, there are many important questions. Unfortunately, it's difficult to get straight answers to most of them! This is due to the absence of QUALITY STANDARDS and the prevalence of MISINFORMATION in the PEMF industry, leading to what market analysts call a consumer knowledge gap. The result of all this is:

Most consumers simply don't know what to look for when choosing a PEMF device.

If this sounds like you, you're not alone — the majority of customers who call us are completely confused about which PEMF device to get. This is because, despite it being 2025, the PEMF industry is still without any established guidelines or universal standards, which are crucial for helping buyers accurately assess quality and differentiate between the multitude of PEMF devices available.

For instance, when evaluating a computer, most buyers know to consider factors like screen size, RAM, processor type, and storage capacity. Additionally, they’re familiar with the metrics for these, i.e., RAM is measured in gigabytes, and more is generally better, but for most users, 16GB is plenty. It’s also widely recognized that Intel is a top choice for processors, and a Core i7 offers more than enough power for the average user’s needs. But what about the PEMF industry where no such clear standards exist:

What key features, components, or metrics should you consider when evaluating a PEMF device?

the problem: Because the PEMF industry is not yet as well-established as fields like the computer industry, many of the companies that manufacture and sell PEMF devices rely on deceptive marketing practices to take advantage of uninformed buyers. A common tactic is for brands to promote a 'special' or 'natural' frequency their device supposedly offers, claiming it to be superior in some way — this is a boldfaced lie. It is well-established that frequencies within the 1-300 Hz range have all been shown to produce successful therapeutic outcomes. There is simply no such thing as a 'special' or 'natural' frequency in PEMF therapy, so don't fall for this absurd claim.

Another repeatedly used trick is the touting of higher Gauss as a selling point. This is extremely misleading as Gauss simply measures the intensity of a single magnetic flux line, and doesn't reflect the quality of the entire magnetic field as a whole or its distrubtion radius, the effectiveness of which is heavlily determined by the material type, quantity, and proper placement of a PEMF device's coils, NOT its Gauss rating.

Additionally, other forms of distortion are used to decieve buyers, such as suggesting that a PEMF device can alter one's DNA or genes. This is completely false. PEMF influences biological processes by optimizing cellular function, not by altering genetic material. The fact that this needs to be clarified is deeply troubling. The examples above all have one thing in common: they exploit the average consumer's lack of knowledge about the complexities of PEMF technology. Because the science behind electromagnetic fields and their effects on the human body is highly complex, it becomes an easy target for manipulation—and that’s exactly what these unscrupulous companies capitalize on.

PEMF devices are also often heavily overpriced. This is also due to the current state of the PEMF industry, still in its infancy with a significant lack of industry regulation, allowing manufacturers to set high prices without having to meet any established standards or be held accountable to widespread consumer knowledge, which helps regulate costs.

the solution: Until there emerges within the PEMF industry a clear set of universal standards for accurately defining the quality of its products, similar to what's been established in the computer industry, these types of deceitful marketing ploys, bogus claims, and inflated prices will continue to proliferate. Additionally, an increase in consumer knowledge and awareness will help mitigate these issues, as more informed buyers can demand transparency and hold manufacturers accountable.

our mission: At PEMF MAT SOURCE™ our goal is to bring transparency to the PEMF industry by providing clear, accurate, and factual information about PEMF therapy and the various devices made for it. Our information-based website is designed to help bridge the consumer knowledge gap, as more informed buyers will eventually push companies selling PEMF devices to improve their products and lower their prices.

From our perspective, PEMF is far more than the marketing and distibution of PEMF products. We are committed to advancing PEMF therapy as a legitimate and irreplaceable modality for significantly improving human health and performance, as well as helping people in difficult situations address serious medical conditions. We believe this is truly meaningful work.

This is why, as an independent distributor, we insist on offering ONLY the most carefully selected, highest-quality PEMF devices, and at prices most everyday people can afford! To learn more, we invite you to explore our website, watch our videos, or simply give us a call. We're always happy to explain PEMF in detail and answer any questions you may have.
