Son Creates Innovative Pain Solution for Father
In
1969 Frieder Kempe, president of the Farabloc Development
Corporation, Coquitlam, Britis h Columbia, Canada, began a
quest to find a solution to combat the phantom pain of his
father, Rudolf Kempe, a World War II veteran and amputee.
The result of Frieder's work is a patented, lightweight
cloth designed to shield the wearer from electromagnetic
fields (EMF) in the high-frequency range that can cause
damage at the cellular level. Farabloc Development
Corporation was formed in 1983.
Farabloc consists of a
series of ultra-thin steel fibers woven into a nylon fabric,
which is custom-made into wraps or garments, such as socks,
gloves, jackets, blankets, and limb covers for amputated
areas. The garments are worn or placed over the painful area
and are intended to block irritating high-frequency
radiation, allowing soothing low-frequency waves to pass
through.
While not a cure for
chronic pain, Kempe says many users testify to the soothing
effect of the low-frequency electromagnetic waves that flow
through the Farabloc EMF filter. Clinical studies conducted
by Professor G. L. Bach in Germany and the University of
British Columbia (UBC) School of Rehabilitation Medicine in
Canada indicated pain relief. The UBC study also found a
reduction in the level of enzymes known to produce pain and
cramping in muscles. According to Kempe, the
anti-inflammatory effect of the Farabloc electromagnetic
shield is among the additional benefits revealed by the
Canadian study.
In a demonstration at the
recent Amputee Coalition of America (ACA) conference in
Minneapolis, Minnesota, Kempe showed the EMF blocking
capability of the fabric by wrapping a wireless telephone in
the cloth and then just exposing the screen to show "no
signal" penetrating the cloth and reaching the antenna.
