Misleading research papers

May 2022:

I have just read this paper that really sums up all my complaints!

.

This paper was published in 2022, which at least shows that there are some people out there actually doing current research, but this is looking at using IfT for pain relief only!

When reading through this paper, the focus of attention was mainly on the variations of the carrier MEDIUM frequencies used by different people over the years.

It is the “mixing” fo these medium frequencies that produces the all important “beat” frequency that actually does the job within the body.

They have missed the fact that IfT is a way of generating a LOW frequency current within the body. This is the WHOLE POINT!

And this is before I repeat the fact that IfT is NOT an “electrical painkiller” as is being taught in the universities.

It’s major effect is on inflammation - let alone the circulatory system, immune system and nervous system etc. I totally agree that there needs to be more research to support the observed clinical effects, but once the precise mechanism of individual frequencies has been established then IfT, as part of the whole care package, will become the treatment of choice.
