Tool developed by Vallabh Vidyanagar based researcher Shrilal Jha and his sons Harshvardhan and Sarth are being used in veterinary college Anand Agricultural University (AAU) for providing drug free therapy to animals.
“We have used this physiotherapy device in the treatment of wounds, fractures, paraplegia and in pain management. We found this method to be very useful in treating veterinary patients,” said Dr PV Parikh, Professor and Head Department of Surgery and Radiology at AAU’s Veterinary College.
The college received magnetic devices – PEMF-PET (for small pets like dogs and cats) and PEMF-TAME (for large animals such as horses, cows) As a donation from the researchers who developed the equipment at one-fifth the cost of similar Pulse Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) devices used in European countries.
“Our research work was originally inspired by Padma Shri Ramesh Baba, recipient of Man Mandir Seva Sansthan Trust at Barsana. The Trust runs one of the largest ‘Gau Shalas’ in the country. His disciples had seen the use of PEMF on cattle abroad and inquired about a similar device,” said Jha, former director and technical assistant of a self-financed research centre. Sardar Patel UniversityPhysics department.
Jha, who now works as an independent R&D consultant, started using the technology at home before adopting animals. “NASA developed this technology to increase the sleep and bone density of astronauts. Moreover, experiments on this drugless therapy have shown positive effects on more than 100 diseases,” Jha said.
Explaining its functioning, Jha said that the device releases pulsating electromagnetic waves at precise frequencies, accelerating the body’s recovery at the cellular level.
“There is no pain, no pinching, no pressure. The electromagnetic waves directly affect the blood cells. They break the bulges of the blood cells thereby increasing their ability to take up oxygen at the cellular level,” he said .
