Episode 68: PEMF & Electrons: The Missing Link to Finally Healing Your Body?

🎙️ Episode 68: PEMF & Electrons: The Missing Link to Finally Healing Your Body?Are you doing “all the right things” for your health—but still feel stuck? Drainage, eating clean, managing stress, and yet your energy just doesn’t return?In this episode of Connecting with the Thom’s, we explore a piece of the healing puzzle that’s often overlooked: the role of electrons and cellular energy in true recovery.We dive into:⚡ What electrons actually do in the body and why they’re vital for healing🌀 How PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy) helps recharge cells, improve circulation, and restore balance🧪 The connection between toxicity, energy depletion, and why detox protocols sometimes fall flat🧘 How supporting your body energetically can make emotional release and drainage more effective🌍 Simple ways to increase your electron availability—even beyond PEMFToo often, healing protocols focus only on what to remove (toxins, stressors, foods) instead of what the body needs to thrive. This episode reframes the conversation: if your cells don’t have enough energy, your body simply can’t repair, detox, or regulate itself.If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s still a “missing piece” in your healing journey, this might be it.✨ Resources & Links:Learn more about drainage-based healing: www.biomed-drainage.orgJoin us live at the Omega Institute Workshop – Oct 10–12 in New YorkTo learn more about the PEMF device we now use in our practices please contact craig.group@bemermail.com💬 If this episode resonated, share it with a friend who’s searching for new answers on their healing path.

Episode 67: The Fifth Emunctory: The Emotional Key to Finally Releasing Toxins

Episode 67: The Fifth Emunctory: The Emotional Key to Finally Releasing ToxinsIf you’ve done all the detoxes, followed every protocol, cleaned up your diet, and still feel stuck—there’s likely one system you haven’t supported: your fifth emunctory.In biological medicine, emunctories are the body's natural drainage pathways—most people know the physical ones: skin, lungs, kidneys, and colon. But there’s a fifth that almost no one talks about… and it’s the one that holds the key to why your body can’t let go.👉 Your nervous system—and your ability to process emotion—isn’t just involved in healing. It’s essential to elimination.In this episode, we explore how emotional congestion shows up as physical stagnation, how trauma impacts drainage, and why many people stay “toxic” despite doing everything right.We break down:Why your nervous system is a functional emunctory in biological medicineHow unresolved emotions and nervous system dysregulation block detoxThe difference between pushing detox vs. supporting drainageHow somatic work, nervous system regulation, and emotional release create true momentum in healingWhat it actually looks like to create space in the body—physically and emotionally—for releaseIf you’re stuck in chronic symptoms, always bouncing between protocols, or feel like your body is holding onto something—it probably is. And this episode helps explain why.We don’t offer quick fixes, but we do offer a new framework: one where emotions are not separate from the body—they are the body.And when you work with them, not against them, your biology responds.Learn more about drainage-based healing at: www.biomed-drainage.orgJoin us in person: Omega Institute Workshop, Oct 10–12 in NY💬 Loved this episode?
