ANF Devices
“Can a ‘sticker’ really hold a frequency?”
This may allow ANF to be used as a successful complement to traditional treatment and exercise programs and return to loading for patients.
The easiest way to describe ANF is through the law of Sympathetic Resonance.
Imagine an experiment involving 2 tuning forks that have matched frequencies (a frequency is the number of times the wave oscillates per second). You strike the first tuning fork and it vibrates at its predetermined frequency. As a result, the first fork (let’s call it “the disc fork”) vibrates and because it shares the same frequency as the 2nd tuning fork (let’s call it the ‘nerve fork’), it can pass its energy into that structure and make it vibrate. This is how energy is transferred from ANF discs to another ANF discs into your body.
The ANF ‘DISC’ is composed of a 28.4% carbon metal alloy. The frequency is embedded into it using an ‘Accelerator Frequency Generator’ (AFG) using coax cables attached to a large vacuum control box. This eliminates the interior atmosphere in the box down to 0.05 PSI during disc programming. This allows the AFG to send specific frequencies into the box without the normal atmosphere around them causing interference.
The use of the super heat treated activated carbon metal alloys has been described by Iqbal et al. (2019) as having “excellent conductivity and high surface area … and an efficient energy storage material when used as a ‘super capacitor’.
With the use of nanoscale technology, ANF presents a device that can store and emit a pre-programmed frequency for a consecutive 72 hours once activated. This separates ANF from other modalities because patients can wear ANF discs at all times whereas others require the treatment to be monitored.
