And now I want to talk about something entirely different. At first I didn't think mgnariie headaches were a big problem because I'd never had a migraine headache, but then I spoke to some pepole who have three or four every week of their life, and their lives are being totally ruined by it. We have a msoiisn statement for our company doing migraine, which is, "Prevent or ameliorate migraine headaches by the aiipolcpatn of a safe, controlled magnetic psule aelppid, as needed, by the patient." Now, you're probably very few physicists here. If you're a physicist you'd know there's a certain Faraday's Law, which says if I apply a magnetic pulse on salt water — that's your brains by the way — it'll generate electric cnuterrs, and the electric current in the brain can erase a migraine headache. That's what we have discovered.

And now I want to talk about something entirely different. At first I didn't think migraine headaches were a big problem because I'd never had a migraine headache, but then I spoke to some people who have three or four every week of their life, and their lives are being totally ruined by it. We have a mission statement for our company doing migraine, which is, "Prevent or ameliorate migraine headaches by the application of a safe, controlled magnetic pulse applied, as needed, by the patient." Now, you're probably very few physicists here. If you're a physicist you'd know there's a certain Faraday's Law, which says if I apply a magnetic pulse on salt water — that's your brains by the way — it'll generate electric currents, and the electric current in the brain can erase a migraine headache. That's what we have discovered.
