Biohacker Review: Sonic medicine is no longer science fiction...
This is the nosiest biohack I've ever tried; the IC Hummer from Infopathy administers PEMF infoceuticals sonically and topically to the body for healing, pain relief, inflammation, sleep, vagus nerve modulation, and more! In this review, I'll break down the PEMF science and tell you about how I've been using it.
The first PEMF infoceutical (IC) I tried...
Was Love (Crown Chakra) during meditation before date night with my wife, I just placed the Hummer on my chest. Before sitting down to dine with my love, I also drank the new Psilocybin IC and found myself in a state of sublimely relaxed arousal. We did a roleplay together and then made love very playfully.
Scientific evidence for PEMF
Electricity has been used as medicine since time immemorial; Roman imperial physicians actually used live electric ray fish. More recently, Nikola Tesla observed that our bodies can handle significant electrical current and function as energy-storing electrical condensers.
There are 130 human clinical trials evaluating PEMF as medicine for back pain, fibromyalgia, cervical disc herniation, Parkinson's disease, rotator cuff injuries, chronic pain, concussion recovery, cancer, osteoarthritis, accelerated bone healing, hypertension, and even treatment-resistant depression.
The strongest evidence for PEMF as medicine is for...
Osteoarthritis - A recent Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trials evaluated 15 clinical trials and concluded, Compared with placebo, there was a beneficial effect of PEMF therapy on pain, stiffness, and physical function in patients with [Osteoarthritis], which should silence the "skeptics" suggesting that PEMF only works on the gullible because of the placebo effect.
Bone Healing - A 2020 meta-analysis evaluated 22 randomized, clinical trials (totaling over 1400 participants) and concluded: moderate quality evidence suggested that PEMF increased healing rate and relieved pain of fracture, and very low-quality evidence showed that PEMF accelerated healing time.
Cancer - a 2016 European meta-analysis is cautiously optimistic, pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy presents several potential advantages, including non‐invasiveness, safety, lack of toxicity for non‐cancerous cells, and the possibility of being combined with other available therapies... These studies show that PEMF therapy is safe and promising compared to other available cancer therapies. As researcher Mark Sloan (whom I interviewed) exposed in his books on cancer, mainstream cancer treatments are iatrogenic - causing more harm than help. And alternative treatments like PEMF should be considered if you or a loved one is diagnosed with cancer.
Finally, I'll quote from an article on Infopathy.com, the manufacturer of the IC Hummer.
Over recent years, research into pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) has gained momentum due to their beneficial effects on animals and humans. In fact, there are more than 10,000 scientific publications describing the effect of PEMFs and more than 2000 double-blind studies conducted around the world demonstrating that PEMF therapy is safe and effective for various conditions.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an organization that has shown great interest in PEMF research and the use of PEMF therapy for their astronauts. In fact, there was a 4-year study lead by Dr. Thomas Goodwin that focused on the use of various energy medicine devices (including PEMF therapy) on enhancing the growth and repair of tissues in mammals.

How I've been using it...
Fortunately, I don't have cancer, osteoarthritis, or any broken bones. But there are a lot of IC frequencies in Infopathy's database that a biohacker like me can use for performance enhancement.
The second IC I tried was the Super Sleep PEMF; I held the Hummer to my chest for 15 minutes while watching a show. Combining this with the Super Sleep plus CBD that I drank, and a little before-bed red light therapy, I slept heroically and had a memorable dream.
I don't have any knee issues, but I use a standing desk for about seven hours a day, and my knees get a bit tired, so I tried Knee Pain Relief - using the Hummer on each knee. I do think it relieved a bit of strain, and I managed to stay standing about 90 minutes longer.
On Anton's (the inventor - whom I interviewed) advice, I used the Energy Wake IC for about 15 minutes during meditation, which resulted in subtle energizing body sensations and a very positive, clear headspace. I meditate with a red light therapy lamp shining on the crown of my head, listening to Brain.FM binaural beats, while monitoring my heart rate variability with my HeartMath sensor - which resulted in a good but not outstanding (for me) HRV score. While this put me in a very cool headspace, stacking a bunch of different biohacks during meditation robs from the mindfulness itself as the Bluetooth never seems to work flawlessly. What I love about my red light and the Infopathy IC Pad is that you just plug them in and they work reliably.
I've been using it as a digestion hack, after a big dinner I'll administer the Digestion Complete PEMF directly on my belly, this noisy PEMF IC I can really feel and it does get things moving in the right direction down there.
In the evenings, I also use Fascia Pain IC for relieving eye strain after a long day of slaving away on the computer, so I can create awesome Limitless Mindset content for your edification!
We did experiment with the Hummer as a "sex hack," and the results were disappointing. After some foreplay, during sex, I held it to my wife's pubic area (being careful not to get lube on the Hummer!), administering a PEMF topically for about 10 minutes - hoping that it would increase blood, pleasure, and orgasm intensity. Her clitoris became oversensitive prematurely, and I was not able to bring her to orgasm as I usually do. The next day, she had an odd sensation in the spot I PEMF'd her and was not pleased with the experiment. I'll keep PEMFs away from her luscious loins from now on!
Become Boundless with PEMF!
Ben Greenfield, in his +1100-page biohacking manifesto Boundless, writes about PEMF in glowing terms.He describes brainwave entrainment...
PEMF therapy works by training your brain to produce particular electrical wavelengths. Your brain produces different electrical wavelengths throughout the day and night, including alpha, beta, delta, and theta brain waves. For example, when you are awake during the day and working, studying, exercising, or engaged in any other activity that requires focus, concentration, or alertness, you predominantly produce alpha and beta brain waves. During periods of sleep and some forms of meditation or relaxation, the brain shifts into higher delta and theta brain wave production. When presented with a rhythmic stimulus, such as PEMF, your brain responds by synchronizing your brain’s electrical activity to the rhythm, a process known as entrainment. (p.201)
And gives some frequency recommendations...
By adjusting the settings, I can use a 3 Hz frequency to lull my brain into a relaxed delta brain wave state, a 10 Hz frequency to generate focus-enhancing alpha brain waves, or a 23 Hz frequency to produce high-alert beta brain waves—or even a 100 Hz frequency for muscle repair (p.200)
The inventor of the IC Hummer clarified that these are the corresponding ICs for these frequencies...
- "Brain Delta (Sleep)" swipes beats from 0.5Hz to 4 Hz
- "Brain Theta (Deeply relaxed)" swipes from 4 to 8 Hz
- "Brain Alpha (Calmness)" swipes from 8 to 12 Hz
- "Brain Beta (Alertness)" swipes from 12 to 35 Hz
- "Brain Gamma (Concentration)" swipes from 35 to 45 Hz
- For muscles, there are about 30 PEMF ICs, some of which may include around 100 Hz square frequencies
PEMF for brainpower
The most potent cognitive enhancement effect I got from it was with the Brain Gamma (Concentration) IC. I strapped the Hummer onto the back of my head to let the Gamma waves wash right over my brain while listening to the same frequency through my headphones. About 25 minutes later, I found myself VERY focused, although I think I prefer musical binaural beats.
Sleep hack
I got some powerful sleep after using that Brain Theta IC - It runs 40 minutes, so while watching a documentary, I alternated administering it to my chest and then placing the IC Hummer behind my head, lightly holding it against the seatback of my ancient Bulgarian armchair. Then I plugged in my headphones and listened to it as an audible IC. It's a pretty boring noise, but after 20 minutes of listening, my pillow was irresistible! Brain Delta (Sleep) had a similar effect, perhaps it was even more sedating, it also runs 40 minutes so I did 20 minutes with the Hummer on the back of my head and 20 minutes listening to it.
Is PEMF safe?
The thing you're probably questioning is, is it safe to beam electricity into your brain like that? The PEMF device is literally millimeters away from your brain!
Ben Greenfield emphasizes its safety in his book...
PEMF therapy is not to be confused with the damaging EMFs (electromagnetic fields) you’ve no doubt heard about. Harmful EMFs and the therapeutic EMFs that PEMF devices generate are very different in their effects. All EMFs interact with tissue and biological systems, but while therapeutic EMFs support cellular communication and health, harmful EMFs negatively impact your body’s functions. The main distinctions between harmful and therapeutic EMFs involve characteristics of the waves themselves: wavelength, exposure time, and frequency. On the electromagnetic spectrum, PEMF devices produce long wavelengths and extremely low to very low frequencies. On the other hand, harmful EMFs have short wavelengths and high frequencies. For example, a 1 Hz PEMF frequency corresponds to a wavelength of about 100 million meters, which is more than 62,000 miles. (The earth’s circumference is just 24,901 miles!) Alternatively, a harmful frequency of about 100 million Hz (which can be produced by your average microwave) has a wavelength of just one meter (about three feet). (p.201)
However, I still wouldn't claim that it's totally harmless to attach this thing to your head or body, because unfortunately, the device requires Bluetooth to work. And Bluetooth is a harmful EMF, non-ionizing radiation that results in a cascade of processes that put us at higher cancer risk. Too much Bluetooth could give you brain cancer in the same way that holding your cell phone to your head could give you cancer. Yet, I still use the Bluetooth headphones often and the Hummer almost daily, do I have a death wish? Not hardly, fortunately, there's a lot that a biohacker can do to mitigate the risks of EMFs; take NAD+ support supplements (like NMN) which fuel the body's PARP system, and before bed, don't snack and turn off your WIFI - to name just two things I do.
But the gimmicky, unneeded Bluetooth is my only major criticism of the IC Hummer...
I need to deduct a star from my review because I don't like Bluetooth
Bluetooth seems to malfunction and not quite connect right about half the time. Sometimes the Bluetooth automatically pairs with the wrong device. Bluetooth is something like catapulting two smurfs into the heavens at great velocities, one from California and the other from Japan, and hoping that they can give each other a high-five over Hawaii as their paths in the stratosphere cross - it just doesn't work great! Also, having read the book EMF*D, I'm no fan of Bluetooth; I'm trying to get fewer EMFs in my life! I wish the Hummer had a port to just plug in an audio cable, as the IC Pad has.
A little more about the device itself, it emits frequencies up to 20 kHz, and the magnetic field intensity is 150 uT near the surface - 1.5 gauss for those familiar with PEMF intensities.
Update
Vs dire dental pain
My wife wrote: It saved me from excruciating pain…
A couple of weeks ago, I developed root inflammation in one of my back teeth that hurt obscenely much and wouldn't let me fall asleep. I had to soothe the pain with ice-cold water every three seconds because otherwise it was unbearable. It's also important to admit that my pain tolerance is not very high. So I was whimpering in agony for over 24 hours straight, and I didn't know how to stop the pain for more than 20 minutes with an over-the-counter painkiller that could only be used once every 8 hours. I was even considering asking my dentist to pull my tooth out as soon as I saw him. The antibiotics prescribed didn't start working immediately, and I was suffering so much that I couldn't think or do anything else. I'm sure it happened to you at least once in your life, and you remember how it was.
The first morning when the pain started, my husband Jonathan Roseland suggested that I use the IC Hummer with a frequency called fascia pain, which unfortunately not only did not work, but it made matters worse. The next evening, though, before bed, he suggested again that I try the IC Pad with a different frequency specifically for toothache and decay.
Actually, I was a little bit skeptical because the previous frequency had not worked, but I decided to try anyway. To my surprise, the relief was almost instant, and I remembered what it was to not feel pain. Then my husband said it could work with the IC Hummer, and it really did! I slept with the device on my cheek, and I was so tired that I even slept in, considering I got no sleep the night before. During the next day, the IC Hummer was on my face almost the whole time. I slept with it again and basically didn't part with it until the antibiotics eventually began kicking in (it took 2 days!)
Thanks to the IC Hummer, I was able to wait on that without looking for another dentist to pull my tooth out. So at my appointment 5 days later, I almost felt no pain.
If it wasn't for the IC Hummer, I don't know what I would have done… so once again huge thanks to Anton and the Infopathy team. You guys rock, keep up the good work at saving poor people like me from their pain! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Featured in fiction
PEMF made it into my new thriller novel about Biohacking, Hourglass
Xavier began skipping breakfast, took exogenous ketones in the mornings, and would fast long into the workday. He demanded a standing desk, and the Quants at the office looked at him funny because he began work by strapping a small pulsed electromagnetic field device to the back of his head, which blasted a gamma-wave frequency into the corpus callosum of his brain. Entraining his mind with gamma (rich, wealthy, successful people are more inclined to a gamma brain state) and driving him further into deep focus.
Infopathy is a game-changer
For a mind-blowing listen, check out my interview with Anton Fedorenko--the mastermind behind Infopathy
From my biohacker review, Downloadable medicine is NO longer science fiction...
As an American expat living abroad, infopathy is a game-changer for my biohacking because it means I can just "download" any supplement I want, avoiding the brain damage and tyranny of dealing with international shipping and my local customs office. Living in North America, you don't know how good you have it, just being able to order online any supplement you desire and having it arrive on your doorstep a week later. In many countries, getting packages from the post office is an experience not dissimilar from negotiating with the mafia for the release of a hostage! Also, thanks to the COVID pandemic/plandemic, no matter where you are in the world, expect the further breakdown of supply chains, expect specialized supplements and medicine to become more expensive and harder to get your hands on. Just try getting Ivermectin these days (and, yes, there is an Ivermectin IC).
This is why I enthusiastically recommend biohacking tech like Infopathy, Heartmath devices, and red-light therapy - buy it once and it empowers your health for years - this is why Infopathy makes the cut, I've added it to my list of recommended vendors - spend over $300 with Infopathy via my link here (save 10% with coupon code Limitless), you'll get a free 30-minute biohacking consultation with me, and you'll be eligible to join the Limitless Mindset Secret Society.
About the IC Hummer
The IC Hummer is a wireless, wearable, and easy-to-use transfer device that can be used for Imprint, PEMF, and Audible ICs. Just attach it to a bottle of water, a small tincture, or the body and start transferring. Try two IC Hummers at the same time to feel a stronger effect. Please note, the IC Hummer is not quiet during IC Transfer (as it generates both sound and electromagnetic waves).
