The most dangerous PEMF devices are not only the worst electrosmog offenders but also very dangerous, both for the therapist and the person being treated with this device. These devices are sold in different packing and under various names and are clones of the old PAP-IMI devices (Per2000, PEMF100, Magnapulse, Deltapulse, Magnawave, Magnacharge, MG-33, Magnus Magnetica etc.). It is worthwhile reading THIS ARTICLE (keep reading towards the end) and you will not even want to come close anymore to such a device.   These devices use so called "spark gap" or "air gap" technology, and have an internal “lightning chamber”.
Spark gap technology is used for discharging high energies extremely fast into e.g. electrodes. The best example we all know is the flashlight in a photo camera. The energy is charged from the battery into a capacitor (something like a re-chargeable battery) and when pressing the knob this energy is unloaded suddenly and very fast into the special light bulb on the photo camera emitting an uncontrolled amount of light.
Another example used in hospitals is unloading huge electrical energies into electrodes focused on kidneys used to disintegrate kidney stones. The amount of energy released can only be controlled by changing the high voltage, which charges into the high voltage capacitor used. There is no technological way in which these random discharges can be controlled in the frequency spectrum and the frequencies generated are unpredictable. It uses almost all frequencies of the spectrum, including possible dangerous frequencies responsible for promoting cancer (cell phones and microwaves) both for the therapist holding the coils, as well as for the patient.
The discharge of this energy into a loop is misleadingly called pulsed magnetic energy.  These extremely short pulses do not treat underlying problems and do have just short term 1-2 days pain relief (similar to a strong pain killer) because the total amount of energy is way too low to have any lasting effect. This mistakenly leads to the conclusion that these machines are actually real therapy devices. If you want to obtain real long lasting pain relief you need high intensity over time = average magnetic energy, meaning longer lasting individual pulses like in the Curatron systems, which have substantial higher total average magnetic energy. The repeating pulsing frequency of this technology is very limited due to the time it takes between each discharge pulse to re-charge the internal capacitor and the maximum pulsing frequency is at the most just a few Hertz. If the pulsing frequency is increased the energy level goes down due to the re-charge effect and becomes completely unpredictable.  A pity that there is a manufacturer who creates dangerous devices, while on purpose calling it by the same name as established, completely different, PEMF technology. Since these devices generate 30.000 Volt discharge pulses they heavily pollute the entire surrounding, over a very broad electromagnetic spectrum, with dangerous Electro-Magnetic Pulses (EMP). This device mimics the same basic principles as applied in electromagnetic weapons or electromagnetic guns, which are specifically designed to destroy electronic devices.
