You might try writing about this in a sharepost, I don't know who might be familiar with it.  I was not, I had to google PEMF and came up with Pulsed Electro magnetic Field Therapy.  It sounds like alternative medicine, advertised by those who sell the products. But apparently there are physics studies about it.  Do you know of anyone who has been helped by it?  I found a site that refered to papers about it helping bone growth, and also fibromyalgia patients.  But exactly what are they using, and is it available to consumers?  Because there could also be bogus claims for equipment that is not really like the clinically studied equipment.  I can't really answer any thing about this, maybe someone else will reply to a share-post.
