Abstract

Overview

This study reports the interim results of a one-year randomized controlled trial aimed at investigating the effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) on weight gain in preterm babies.

Methodology

The device used in this study operated at 7.83 Hz, aligning with the Schumann resonance frequency. Preterm babies were exposed to this frequency for a period of one week to observe potential benefits in weight gain.

Findings

  • Both the average body-weight gain and the rate of weight gain showed improvement after exposure to ELF-EMF.
  • These findings suggest that ELF-EMF exposure could be a supportive intervention for weight gain in preterm infants.

Conclusion

The data gathered suggest significant potential for ELF-EMF to aid in the development of new methods to support weight gain in preterm babies, indicating a direct connection between ELF-EMF exposure and health benefits in this vulnerable population.
