I am not the one who put together the ELF meter, it is some sort of other
meter hooked through a large copper coil, which picks up the magnetic
oscillating radiation via induced electrical current (ammeter?) and needed
to be calibrated to show milligauss.

Electromagnetic Fields
Bioeletromagnetics (BEM) is an emerging science that studies how
living organisms interact with electromagnetic (EM) fields. Electrical
phenomena are found in all living organisms, and electrical currents
in the body can produce magnetic fields that extend outside the body.
Those that extend outside the body can be influenced by external
magnetic and EM fields. Changes in the body's natural fields may
produce physical and behavioral changes.
Endogenous (internal) fields are distinguished from exogenous
(external) fields. The latter can be natural, such as the earth's
geomagnetic field, or artificial, such as power lines, transformers,
appliances, radio transmitters, or medical devices. Oscillating
nonionizing EM fields in the extremely low frequency (ELF) range can
have vigorous biological effects that may be beneficial. Changes in
the field configuration and exposure pattern of low-level EM fields
can produce specific biological responses, and certain frequencies
have specific effects on body tissues.
EM Research & Studies
The mechanism by which EM fields produce biological effects is under
increasing study. At the cutting edge of BEM research is the question
of how endogenous EM fields change with consciousness. Nonionizing BEM
medical applications are classified according to whether they are
thermal or nonthermal in biological tissue. Thermal applications of
nonionizing radiation include radio frequency (RF) hyperthermia, laser
and RF surgery, and RF diathermy.
The most important BEM modalities in alternative medicine are
nonthermal applications of nonionizing radiation. Major new
applications of nonthermal, nonionizing EM fields are bone repair,
nerve stimulation, wound healing, treatment of osteoarthritis,
electroacupuncture, tissue regeneration, and immune system
stimulation.
