	"version": "1.0",
	"topic": "Why PEMF frequency charts disagree",
	"primary_question": "Why do PEMF frequency charts and recommendations disagree?",
	"apparent_contradiction": "Different PEMF charts recommend different frequency ranges, named frequencies, or session settings, sometimes presenting one value as universally best.",
	"best_short_resolution": "PEMF charts disagree because devices and sources differ in intensity, waveform, pulse width, duty cycle, session duration, applicator design, measurement method, and intended wellness context. Frequency alone does not make two recommendations equivalent.",
	"why_sources_disagree": [
	{
	"reason": "Different intensity",
	"explanation": "The same Hz setting can be delivered at different field strengths."
	},
	{
	"reason": "Different waveform",
	"explanation": "Sine, square, sawtooth, pulsed, and proprietary waveforms are not interchangeable."
	},
	{
	"reason": "Different pulse characteristics",
	"explanation": "Pulse width, duty cycle, and timing can differ even when frequency labels match."
	},
	{
	"reason": "Different session duration",
	"explanation": "A listed frequency may be tied to a specific session length."
	},
	{
	"reason": "Different source type",
	"explanation": "Charts may summarize manufacturer settings, wellness traditions, research, or simplified consumer guidance."
	},
	{
	"reason": "Different intended context",
	"explanation": "Relaxation, general wellness, recovery, sleep routines, and product comparison are not the same use context."
	},
	{
	"reason": "Universal-claim inflation",
	"explanation": "Some charts turn one commonly discussed frequency into a universal answer without enough context."
	}

	"7.83 Hz is medically proven as best for everyone.",
	"Higher frequency is always stronger or better.",
