First let's enlighten you to the prime reason we need sleep...,

Only during deep states of sleep (Delta not REM or Rapid Eye Movement) do body systems shut down adequately to put body into low-energy-requirement state that allows ATP (body's universal energy) to pool in the cells (due to body's energy requirement being low enough) allowing physiological repair, hormone synthesis, immune function and memory consolidation. PERIOD. That's it.

Sleep scientists can study fruit flies' sleep all they feel is necessary (really, they do this!), but the prime reason we sleep is stated above. SIMPLE. Your cell's mitochondria create ATP (the fuel that fires ALL cellular process) 24 hours per day and you're body consumes nearly all of it to maintain consciousness and movement.

Unless you are in the deep state of sleep (called Delta rhythm) for the requisite amount of time (2-4 hours per night), the body never has the required fuel to provide adequate maintenance, hormone synthesis and repair. The result is a body that breaks down quickly and ages prematurely.

Now, why you and many people you know don't sleep well.

In a nutshell, there is an increasingly dense, invisible soup of information carrying radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields, literally being broadcast through our bodies by the telecommunications industry 24/7. Its not stress of modern life or evolution. Plain and simple, it is propagating RF pollution. Sound about right??? If so, you can stop now, and return to our homepage; or continue reading for more evidence.

For years, our power frequency 50/60 Hz (Hz = cycles per second) alternating current (AC) electromagnetic field (EMF) pollution had only a slightly detrimental impact, today however the minor threat from electrical wiring has been far overshadowed by information carrying radio frequency (RF) that is having PROFOUND, deleterious impact on sleep quality and sleep duration, as well as body's power generation and communication systems. This RF comes to us via the cellular telephone and wireless computer networks.

Very simply, Around the world EMF/RF pollution has drowned-out natural magnetic fields that humans (and animals) have evolved within, and have relied upon for eons to live long and healthy lives.

That's it, plain & simple. That and microwaved food, genetically modified food, foods and environment contaminated by pesticides and chemical poisoning. Here however we will deal with the EM/RF component (how you choose to eat is your business) and what you can do about it to achieve better quality sleep and more complete short and long term recovery.

On the one hand we were "designed" so that NATURAL electromagnetic fields such as the Schumann resonance helped to "tune" mind (and body) to maintain physical repair mechanisms and psychological well being; on the other hand, EMP (electromagnetic pollution) de-tunes and robs body of energy and subsequently healthy homeostasis. See the 2007 Tong chart of mitochondrial effect at 10 Hz (very close to the main Schumann resonance of 7.8 Hz).

Microwaves, power lines, cell phones/towers, and 50/60 Hz (Hz = Hertz = cycles per second) alternating current (AC) are producers of EMP and you are enveloped in them day and night, 24/7; like it or not (unless you live outside the "grid" and use DC current to power the home).

The body trying to "sense" the beneficial NATURAL Schumann and Earth-based electromagnetic fields for fine-tuning, is analogous to trying to hear a flute solo surrounded by a platoon of air horns (especially while laying at night trying to quiet the mind for sleep and restoration). Without adequate deep sleep the body (even during light sleep) burns too much of the available energy "pool" sustaining the body/brain for there to be adequate energy available for complete cellular repair.

The relationship between the earth's geomagnetic fields and sleep, maintenance and repair mechanisms.

W.O. Schumann a German physicist, discovered in 1952 that there is a resonant cavity between the earth's surface and the ionosphere containing a frequency modulated electromagnetic field in the spectrum from below 1 Hz to more than 100 Hz. Notice in the graph below that the dominant frequencies of these "Schumann Waves" is be Schumann wave .jpg

low 14 Hz.

The Russian Space Agency discovered that Schumann- wave generators in space craft (formerly void of fluctuating magnetic fields) improved the health and well being of astronauts on extended space voyages; especially bone density. N.A.S.A. included them in the design of the Space Station to fend off osteoporosis, muscle wasting and other effects of zero gravity during extended Station missions.

We are describing a very narrow healthy frequency band where frequencies above 15 Hz has been shown in dozens of frequency specific animal studies to cause negative behavioral modification and above 20 Hz stress hormone production. You'll notice that the peak in the graph (highest amplitude) is 7.8 Hz and is what most people mistakenly believe is THE Schumann resonance. In reality Schumann resonance is a SPECTRUM of frequencies with the majority of its amplitude below 15 Hz, and with peaks at 14.1 Hz, 20.3 Hz, and higher.

What is remarkable is that these fields overlay the stress-free human EEG almost perfectly. Notice there are peaks at about 1.5 Hz and 2.5 Hz within the Delta rhythm band as well which used to provide us a fairly strong signal during the nighttime that helped us to achieve Delta rhythm sleep.

Equally important, the mitochondria (cell's power plants) of the body respond particularly well to frequencies falling within this narrow frequency band, particularly at 10 Hz. You may read about these on the homepage that probably lead you here. The most significant research is cited in the left hand column.

Research during 5 decades (much of it in former Soviet Union) conclusively showed that a 10 Hz field produced the most exceptional healing and tissue regeneration effects. In 2003 NASA discovered 10 Hz turned the gene sequences (over 300 individual genes) for maturation -OFF- and for developmental -ON-. Further, it found a four fold increase in rate of tissue generation.

Schumann waves encircle the earth horizontal to the ground in a spectrum resembling the graph above, while 9.6 Hz resonates from the Earth's molten core perpendicular to the ground. Recent study into the workings of cells' mitochondria find that 10 Hz stimulation greatly enhances mitochondrial adaptation to both physical and neurological demands. 10 Hz even promotes mitochondrial replication and trafficking within the cell. You may read these exiting discoveries directly off the NIH library through links on the homepage that lead you here.

It is no coincidence that pulsed magnetic fields at or around 10 Hz have produced BY FAR the best healing effects in dozens and dozens of published, peer reviewed studies; particularly those published by the Eastern Europeans circa 1970-1990. It should now be recognized that the phenomenal healing effects of 10 Hz are attributable to the mitochondrial response to that very particular frequency. We use 9.6 Hz square wave as our primary use frequency since 2001 (prior to the mitochondrial specific research becoming available).

It is this Earth's-pulse that is the primary reason you sleep so well on camping trips. It's not the fresh air and exercise; it's sleeping in touch with Mother-Earth and receiving Her vital frequency of 9.6 Hz. Until recently most camping was done outside of the wireless telecommunications "grid". Now even camping, unless you've got weak signal on your phone, you are well within the grid (though lying very close-to or in-contact with the ground, and absent power frequency electric fields).

This is far better than sleeping at home several feet or more above the ground, with 50/60 Hz electric fields, full strength cellular telecommunications grid and in-range wireless networks permeating your bedroom and living spaces with very high frequency signals. Pretty bleak picture overall; and why you can expect your sleep to deteriorate with time, especially if HD TV broadcasting and large scale urban WiFi is rolled out in your area. Earthing or Earth tethering systems attempt to address this problem, it is admittedly better than nothing. For about the same price you can get an Earthing system on steroids....the EarthPulse™.

EMP is foreign to the body and up until the 1980's, AC power frequency (50-60 Hz depending upon your geographic location) and weak TV and radio station broadcasts was all that broadly existed; the body tolerated it fairly well.

However, EMP broke the tolerance threshold and detrimentally arrived on the scene with the arrival of home wireless telephones during the 80's (usually everyone had an extension in their bedroom next to their bed), then cellular phone networks arrived in the 90's (the author had two phones prior to unlimited minutes plans) and cellular now propagates within every urban area in the world with denser and denser layers of information.

Wireless computer networks permeate our work and school (and in many cases our bedrooms) and the combination of cellular and wireless networks our species has reached its tipping point. We are now finding it difficult or impossible to quiet our mind at night and get a good nights sleep. Forget about what it does to your mitochondria for the moment. Bee colony collapse disorder is the canary in the coal mine.

Wireless computer network roll-out coincide well with adolescent sleep deterioration and increase rate of ADHD diagnosis. One can argue the same ratcheting up of cancer to coincide with these technological "advancements" in telecommunications as well.

Now, more than ever, it's essential you eat well and read the labels on what you put into your shopping basket. Once GMO foods start permeating the grocery shelves, expect the entire equation to paradigm shift for the worse. Add government mandated vaccinations and well, even the author loses sleep worrying about the fate of mankind.

There are no safe levels of EMP above 15 Hz. Though many electromagnetic therapy devices use frequencies much higher than this, they are used for short exposure periods and generally have good results from something "other than" improved mitochondrial performance as the research is quite clear that 20 Hz reduces their efficiency.

the neurological system is the most sensitive antenna ever devised, and the mitochondria, well they may be more sensitive than that. Professor Anninos PA discovered he could beneficially affect Epilepsy and Parkinson's patients with fields in the PicoTesla range. All you have to know about PicoTesla is that its about 500 times weaker than Earth's natural magnetic signal. The key here is that Anninos uses a frequency in the 7 Hz - 10 Hz range. Sandyk proved Anninos discovery through 90+ studies using 8 Hz frequency in PicoTesla range.

Dozens of published studies (see frequency specific animal studies) proved animals exposed chronically to frequencies above 15 Hz result in detrimental behavioral changes and stress hormone production; while frequencies around 10 Hz had beneficial effects. Man-made EMP above 14.1Hz not only impairs the cells' motochondria, it acutely impairs body's ability to reach deep, Delta-rhythm sleep where cellular repair occurs most efficiently. It upsets the natural resonation (think of it as de-tuning an engine) of the mitochondria, debilitating the cellular energy pool.

Under this condition the body lacks energy requirement for repair, regeneration and immunity. So, you are not only sleeping poorly and suffering from lack of sleep, you are also de-tuning the cellular power-plants and your body deteriorates allowing any number of disease states to take over the cells.

Further, only in slow-wave (Delta) sleep can the ATP synthesized by the mitochondria be about 80% devoted to maintenance and repair mechanisms. During lighter stages of sleep, the energy requirement just to sustain the body robs it of this energy pool required for repair and regeneration.

I propose all disease is related to mitochondria dysfunction. Trauma repair is directly related to mitochondrial energy production and over 5 decades in dozens of studies, 10 Hz stimulation provided the very-best results. If this were not enough to convince you, NASA scientists aren't stupid..., they saw the same trend dove into 10 Hz research all the way down to the genetic level.

NASA also determined static magnetic fields and non-square waveforms were found to have little if any effect. In a different study 5 Hz and 15 Hz was found to increase tissue proliferation only by factor of TWO, while in the same study 10 Hz was shown to increase it by a factor of FOUR replicating the tissue regenerating effects of the NASA study.

The brain's natural EEG rhythms correlate directly with these Schumann resonances and the natural rhythm of the geomagnetic field.

Beta frequencies lie above 12 Hz and when you are in active thought process with no stress you're brain-wave signature is predominated by 12 - 14 Hz low-Beta-rhythm. Beta frequencies, 12 to 14 Hz, are “normal” predominant rhythm that occur during concentration. Frequencies above lower-mid-Beta occur when agitated or fearful. If you are in fight-or-flight, then you are in the mid to high-Beta-rhythm brain state.

The mid to high Beta-rhythm brain state is required for human survival and has some physiological benefits, but excessive exposure to these higher brain frequencies (at the expense of frequencies at 14 Hz and below) is not healthy, and cumulatively cause stress related health effects including poor sleep and increased production of stress hormones.

If you are stuck in a mid to high-Beta brain state then you cannot sleep and you cannot heal or maintain hormonal homeostasis (cortisol levels soar). To maintain robust health, quality of life, bolster immunity and have a positive outlook on life, then deep sleep and avoidance of mid-high Beta-rhythm states are mandatory.

Alpha frequencies lie between 8 and 12 Hz and predominate when you are relaxed, calm, and in a meditative state. Theta frequencies lie between 4 and 8 Hz and predominate during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Theta can predominate when in awakened states under many circumstances. You experience dream-like mental imagery and creativity during Theta-rhythm predominance.

States of deep sleep are called Delta-rhythm and lie below 4 Hz. There are strong relationships between hormonal response, healing, and immunity when Delta-rhythm predominates during deep sleep. This is also when energy demand for supporting the body is at its lowest. Heartbeat slows, breathing slows, brain activity is minimal; therefore Delta-rhythm sleep is the only time body can concentrate most of its energy production on its physiological and neurological recovery and maintenance activities.

Notice in the graph above that the most dominant Schumann waves lie under 14 Hz which correlate well with Delta, Theta, Alpha and low-Beta brain states -or- deep sleep, calm, relaxed and active thought process respectively. Notice too that amplitude in the Delta-Theta area is greater than the Alpha-Beta. This is not coincidental correlation; it is the way nature keeps us psychologically and physiologically in balance and able to shut our brains down at night while remaining relatively stress free and focused during the day.

Entrainment occurs when our mind-body state locks into the rhythm of an external oscillator (like the EarthPulse™). The external oscillator is either undesirable EMP (causing stress and poor sleep) or the beneficial Schumann and geomagnetic field frequencies (which are simply too weak for the body/brain to "hear" through the EMP.

Normally the brain structure called the thalamus controls our brain waves. Either Schumann resonances, geomagnetic fields or EMP are ‘picked up’ by the thalamus, particularly the pineal gland and other magnetite-bearing brain tissues and pacing of the signal occurs. During these intervals of ENTRAINMENT, the brain’s pacemaker is external: the Schumann resonances & geomagnetic field (beneficial) or EMP (detrimental). We were meant to be relaxed and meditative with natural magnetic fields being the pacer; but increasingly we are not because these natural fields have been lost beneath higher amplitude EMP.

In November 2006 researchers at the U of Wisconsin described a method of using 1 Hz (Delta rhythm) transcranial magnetic stimulation to trigger slow way sleep. Earlier the same month the University of Lubeck, Germany reported that 1 Hz transcranial electric stimulation resulted in deeper sleep and improved memory consolidation. In contrast, a study published in -'08 January- through the prestigious Karolinska Institute and Wayne State University showed cell phone radiation delayed Delta -slow wave- sleep onset. Nighttime EEG recording of subjects exposed to externally applied Delta rhythm signals show enhanced slow wave sleep throughout the night.

In contrast to our somnogram, the U of WI tested effects of magnetic fields hundreds, if not thousands of times more powerful than ours. Their study had to be shut down because of overheating of the magnetic coil due to the prolonged activation of it.

“I have used the EarthPulse™ magnetic sleep machine to help with my sleep problems and have found it to be remarkably effective in not only creating a more satisfactory nighttime sleep regimen but also improving my daytime alertness. At age 81 one expects some physiologic sleep disturbances mainly in the depth of sleep and also involving more frequent awakenings. This technology restored my sleep pattern to much of its earlier characteristics. I also noted having delightful dreams and having the ability to remember them on awakening. No doubt light sleep was also enhanced. I have used it on several other subjects as well with similar results."

"While sleep is one of the major problems addressed by my device, it certainly isn’t limited to that. What's good for sleep also happens to be what's best for each individual mitochondrion, having implications in all tissue types whether bone, connective tissues, gray matter, motor neurons, endocrine tissues, heart, organs or muscle. " Paul F. Becker, 11 December 2008

So, how do we "re-tune" ourselves to restore our depleted mental and physical energies?Just as vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids from food are essential biochemical compounds required for healthy survival, so also do our mitochondria require “geomagnetic vitamins” supplied by the Earth's geomagnetic AND Ionospheric (Schumann) fields. Think of these "geomagnetic vitamins" as a tuning fork that help achieve and maintain optimum efficiency during aerobic metabolism. Unfortunately, these “geomagnetic vitamins” are partially if not fully blocked out by EMP in much the same way as the flute solo is drowned out in the example in paragraph 1.

Our neurological system is made up of miles of neuronal tissues. They act like antennae picking up the entire spectrum of magnetic fields. We were designed to be specifically tuned to Schumann and Earth resonances and we have become slowly (unnoticeable) crippled in the presence of higher frequency EMP. Think of the analogy of a frog in a pot of hot water that could easily jump out but because the water is being heated slowly, it stays in the water and is cooked before it realizes it's too late. Or, recharging a dead battery with the wrong type and strength of electricity. If there is a short circuit or the input amperage is too high or too low, or the frequency or current type (AC vs. DC) is wrong, the entire system breaks down catastrophically.

Much like the battery example above, higher frequency man-made EMP essentially robs our cells' natural ability to generate and stockpile adenosine triphosphate (ATP) the fuel that fires all cellular processes. The body’s control and power generation mechanisms subsequently fail in unison. On the other hand, feed the body with the correct frequency(s) and miraculous things can happen to sleep, strength, stamina and healing.

EarthPulse™ produces a spectrum of these “geomagnetic vitamins” from very low-Delta to very low-Beta wave frequencies with special attention paid to the mitochondrial 10 Hz frequency requirements. Once the hockey puck sized electromagnet is placed between the mattress and box spring, you get an 8 hour 'dose' of your geomagnetic vitamins.

EarthPulse Sleep On Command™ is a passive device requiring no effort to realize most of its benefits; just place the inductor electromagnet under the mattress, turn the device on and set the timer. As easy as setting a digital alarm clock. The EarthPulse™ is $549.00 plus $49 flat rate air shipping anywhere in the world and comes with a 90 day satisfaction guarantee. Other digital pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) devices pay no attention to these naturally occurring frequencies or all-night sleep modes, and start at the price of about $1700 (and can cost as much as $30,000). Limited use analog devices can be had for as little as $199 -but they don't pay attention to this natural frequency range either-), nor are they nearly as powerful, nor are ANY of them designed for sleep. The EarthPulse™ stakes its reputation on getting better results than any of them, at a fraction of the cost.
