Where:  McNabb Arena in the Craft Room
180 Percy Street; Bus #14 on Percy or #85 on Bronson; Free Parking

David Gilbert, of Riley Wellness Centre, certified Mediconsult technician, will speak on the profoundly normalizing effects of biologically appropriate Pulsed Magnetic Field Resonance for human wellbeing. Throughout human history, running and walking through the Earth’s magnetic field has created the electrical charge all animal cells require to function properly. This field is very faint (20-70 micro Tesla) and very low frequency (0.5-15 Hz or cycles per second). The very high intensity high frequency electromagnetic fields we are immersed in – up to a million times what the human body has ever experienced – are seriously interfering with our cells’ ability to maintain adequate electrical potentials.
