Quickly gaining popularity as the best healthcare centers in the country for Osteoarthritis treatment and Cancer treatment, is SBF Healthcare & Research Cenrtre Pvt Ltd, and owing to unrelenting dedication to excellent medical services and pioneering research in life-saving Osteoarthritis and Cancer medical technologies, it is one name to reckon with. Speaking to City Express, Wg Cdr (Dr) V G Vasishta (retd), former professor and HOD of Radiodiagnosis, Institute of Aerospace Medicine, Indian Air Force states about their unique offering.
How effective is the treatment offered by you with regard to Osteoarthritis?
Exposure to Sequentially Programmed Magnetic Field (SPMF) therapy sensitises and re-creates the missing physiological piezo-electric stimulus necessary for cartilage regeneration.
OA is caused by progressive degeneration of articular cartilage. Articular cartilage is an avascular a neural structure adherent to the articular ends of bone. The continual internal physiological remodelling of cartilage happens due to piezo-electric stimulus i.e. during compression of the cartilage there is generation of weak electro-magnetic fields and thus help in regenerating the cartilage.
As such the articular cartilage has very limited regenerative capacity due to limited anabolic capacity and absence of piezo-electric stimulus in regeneration, does not allow healing. SPMF Therapy restores the missing physiological stimulus thus leading to cartilage regeneration.
How does SPMF Therapy work?
SPMF is a technology that is made to deliver sequentially programmed magnetic fields, with precise command and control. It involves the application of SPMF to regenerate the cartilage that wear and tear on the weight bearing joints.
Are there any side effects of this method of treatment?
SPMF does not utilize the ionizing, thermal, destructive radiation of the upper side of the electromagnetic spectrum such as those used in radiotherapy including X-rays or gamma knife that may also adversely affect the healthy cells. The magnetic fields used in SPMF have been safely used in thousands of electrical devices for more than 100 years and the MRI technology that has been utilized to precisely focus the magnetic fields on the application area has been in wide spread use for more than 30 years.
Is SPMF Therapy safe?
SPMF Therapy is non-invasive, painless and safe. Also, The International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) has defined emission levels that are considered safe for human use. The magnetic field emissions from SPMF exposure are well below the levels specified by ICNIRP.
What is SPMF treatment for cancer?
SPMF uses a technology in which sequentially programmed magnetic fields can be exactly focused on tumor tissue by a computer controlled device to cause programmed cell death.
How does SPMF cause apoptosis or tissue degeneration?
In normal cells the resting cell membrane potential is -7 to 90 mv. In cancer cells it is -15 to -30 mv. Focusing SPMF fields everyday for 28 days brings the cell membrane potential of cancer cells to normal level thereby marking them for programmed cell death.
We all know the sever nature of cancer. Can you tell us about the kind of treatment provided by you?
Two third of the new cancers is presented in advance and incurable stage at the time of diagnosis. More than 60 per cent of these affected patients are in the prime of their life between the age of 35 and 65 years. With increasing life expectancy and changing life styles concomitant with development, the number of cancer cases will be almost three times the current number. (National Cancer Programme). In the USA and other developed countries, Cancer is presently responsible for about 25 per cent of all deaths. On a yearly basis, 0.5 per cent of the population is diagnosed with cancer.
Present standard options of treatment namely surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy result in partial cure with lot of side effects resulting in deterioration of quality of life which further compounds the emotional and psychological distress associated with cancer patients. As the incidence of cancer continues to rise and with the tremendous trauma that affected individuals undergo during current treatment, scientists are tinkering with various theories on how to combat this dreaded disease. Although there is emphasis on early detection and prevention of cancer, there is still the need for developing a safer method of treatment which would not noly improve the quality of Life but also increase the survival period. SPMF fields being non-ionizing, non-thermal, does not damage the normal surrounding tissue. At the same time it stops liberation of toxins from tumor tissue by cell apoptosis.
