During a work trip to Australia Andy (the founder & MD of NewMed) with his girlfriend (now wife), Andy developed severe stomach pains over the last three days of the trip. Unphased at first, the pain worsened, leading him to seek Australian hospital care, only to be sent home to the UK with pain meds. However, the agony persisted, prompting him to visit the A&E the day he landed in the UK. Where the doctors did multiple inconclusive ultrasounds but they guessed it was a hernia and again sent him home with more pain meds.
While the pain just got worse and worse Andy returned to hospital where he collapsed. The doctors said emergency surgery was necessary and then the problem was found, a sizable infected lump near his belly button. An anaesthetist revealed the dire possibility of sepsis without intervention that he got. Despite removal in surgery, the infection kept coming back and the antibiotics he was on were not making much progress in healing it. Which worried him.
Recalling Magnetovital, a company providing PEMF devices to aid his dad's horses that they met in Germany at a previous work trip, Andy reached out and obtained a PEMF mat from them, despite importing challenges to the UK. Although initially uncertain as he couldn't feel anything, using the mat twice daily for 20-minute sessions yielded astonishing results and by the end of the week he discontinued the pain meds, the infection healed, and surgical scars improved over the following weeks and months. The doctors were shocked, they asked him "how have you done this?" Andy replied "with PEMF". They brushed him off. Andy new something had to change. Driven by this experience, he founded NewMed to make PEMF therapy more accessible in the UK and with the aim to change the opinion of PEMF to help more people who are suffering like he was.
