Everything you want to know about Magnetic Therapy

Years of research has shown conclusively that chronic degenerative diseases such arthritis, diabetes, cancer and others, are also associated with the same acid/low oxygen state as the acute maladaptive reactions. In other words, chronic degenerative diseases are observed to have the same metabolic disorder as acute maladaptive reactions, except these reactions have extended over time. It is easy to see then, how maintaining your health, and preventing and reversing chronic degenerative diseases, have the same source. That is, maintaining an alkaline/high oxygen state.

Exposure to a negative magnetic field produces an alkaline/high oxygen state in your body, and is essential in helping you maintain your health, reverse acute maladaptive reactions, and prevent and reverse chronic degenerative diseases. But how can you do this? You need to develop a negative magnetic field exposure program to help you maintain your optimum alkaline/high oxygen state. You can do this quite easily by sleeping on a magnetic bed, with magnets at the crown of your head while you sleep. Also, any symptoms you develop, no matter how minor, should be exposed to a negative magnetic field.

Of course you will want to check with your health practitioner to determine the cause of the symptoms. Since maladaptive reactions to foods are a major cause of symptoms that over time progress to chronic degenerative diseases, in this series we will show how the dual approach of negative magnetic field exposure and following a 4-Day Diversified Rotation Diet, can play a major role not only in helping you maintain your health, but also reversing the degenerative diseases of arthritis, diabetes, cancer, vascular diseases and others.

We will also show how this dual approach can help manage major mental diseases, addictions, and reverse the aging process. You will also find out how Magnetic Therapy can not only relieve your pain, but increase your energy, help you get sound - energy restoring sleep, and improve the quality of your life.

Right and Wrong Magnetic Therapy Practices, and Pointers That Will Improve Your Results. (Part I)

In any discussion on magnetic therapy, the questions invariably comes up. Is there an advantage to using one pole (e.g. the south pole) over the other (e.g. the north pole), or exposure to a mixed positive and negative magnetic field? The answers to this questions is important.

You see, many have gotten less than satisfactory results, because of the lack of knowledge of the proper use of magnets. As an example. Does it make sense to arrive to the conclusion that water does not quench your thirst, if on a hot summer day, with your throat parched, and languishing from thirst, you drank a thimble full of lukewarm water rather than a glassful of cold refreshing water?

Using a weaker magnet than is appropriate, and not using the most effective pole of the magnet, can leave you with less than optimal results. To answer these questions, we need to understand a little, how magnetic therapy works, and how your body responds when exposed to magnetic energy. The body has a mechanism of stress reflex (counterirritant effect).

There are many examples of this, such as acupuncture signaling a response in a particular area of the body, or pressure massage on the sole of the feet signaling the brain to respond to a particular area of the body. Now injury or stress produces a positive magnetic response in the area of injury or stress. Your body's stress reflex (Counterirritant reflex), is to send negative magnetic energy down to the area of injury to counter the positive magnetic response. It is the negative magnetic energy that provides the relief.

Here's an example of how that works. An irritating liniment is applied to an arthritic joint, in which the irritating liniment provides some relief. In reality, it is the counterirritant response of sending negative magnetic energy to the area, that provides the relief. Many are using magnetic fields as as counterirritant without realizing what they are doing. A low level positive magnetic field, or low level mixed positive and negative magnetic field is a mild irritant to which the body will respond by countering with a negative magnetic field. In any event, it is the negative magnetic energy that does the relieving and not the positive magnetic energy.

This why some people have thought the magnetic poles were not different, because they found relief with either pole. This is true if you are low enough on your gauss strength, or your duration is short enough where you don't get the effect of the positive magnetic, but rather the counterirritant reflex response. Another aspect of this is that when the counter irritant reflex stimulant is used, there is a rapid response, often occurring within 3 minutes.

Whereas, if you apply the negative magnetic field from a magnet, it would not be this quick. The response could take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes or more. In using the positive magnetic pole, or the low level mixed positive and negative magnetic field, many are impressed that they are doing the right thing, because of this quick response.

However, there are problems inherent in using the reflex response method as compared to the non-reflex response method of obtaining relief. The counter irritant reflex response fatigues out in time, and the symptoms return in spite of continued treatment. This does not happen when the negative magnetic field is used. Also, the response is predictably the same no matter how long the exposure to the negative magnetic field.

Right and Wrong Magnetic Therapy Practices, and Pointers That Will Improve Your Results (Part II)

It is a well known fact that the application of a positive magnetic field, or a mixed positive-negative magnetic field are useful modalities in relieving pain, but no better than a negative magnetic field only. However they have some severe limitations as to duration of application due to the counter- irritant response. Most unfortunate of all is that if this positive magnetic field is used with repeated frequency, particularly around the head, it can raise self made narcotics (endorphins) and produce addiction. This is one of the most serious side effects.

Other effects of prolonged EXPOSURE TO A POSITIVE MAGNETIC FIELD or a mixed positive-negative magnetic field are:

1) The development of abnormal acidity in your cells and tissues. This leads to the degenerative changes that predispose to chronic diseases and aging.
2) The development of a low oxygen state in your cells and tissues.
3) The development of latent bacterial, viral and fungal infections.
4) In biologically predisposed persons, it leads to depression and other major and minor mental and emotional reactions. There are however non-reflex uses of a positive magnetic field. The positive magnetic field will excite nerves to function. If a person has received an injury to the spine, or there is pressure on the spinal chord such as from a tumor or multiple sclerosis, in which the cells are suffering the effects of disuse, and have not been destroyed, you can place a positive magnetic field over the area, and have that person practice using those muscles or other functions to which the affected nerves relate.

For instance, a person may be dragging his foot. But when the positive magnetic field is placed over the spine, he can walk without dragging the foot. With practice he could learn to walk again.

The positive magnetic field may also be used to excite the production of adrenocortical hormones. This is helpful if you need a spurt of energy at the beginning of the day. Treat the adrenal glands for no longer than three to five minutes with the positive magnetic field in the morning, then also treat them again for 30 minutes in the evening with the negative magnetic field.

Here are the effects from EXPOSURE TO A NEGATIVE MAGNETIC FIELD:

1) You experience increase oxygenation of your cells and tissues. This makes for improved metabolism, and improved health.
2) You are better able to resist and fight off infections by bacteria, viruses and parasites.
3) There is less of a tendency to retain fluid (edema), both intercellular (inside the cells) and extracellular (outside the cells).
4) Inflammation, whatever its cause (bee sting, infection, chronic irritation), is reduced. This of course relieves the pain, and facilitates healing.
5)Encourages healing by pulling oxygen and nutritional fluids into the affected area.
6) Helps you to get sound energy- restoring sleep, thus giving you a more productive day.
7) Normalizes your acid-base balance (alkalinizing the cells and tissues). This relieves symptoms caused by acidic conditions such as allergies, toxic states, acid indigestion, sore/stiff muscles, and many diseased states.
8) Increases mental acuity, and calms the electrically over-charged brain, relieving hyperactivity, behavioral problems, obsessive-compulsiveness and other problems.
9) Relieves and stops pain, soreness and other symptoms.
10) Helps to reduce the fat and calcium deposits in your arteries, reducing your risk of heart attack or other cardiac problems.
11) Slowly helps to dissolve and reduce fatty deposits. No adverse side effects have been observed with negative field energy. Since negative magnetic energy pulls fluid into an enclosed area, pain can develop from increased pressure in a joint or encapsulated area (knee cap, sinuses, eyeball etc.).

Should this happen, the magnet should be moved in position, but not necessarily removed. By moving the magnet above, below or aside the painful site 2-3 inches, fluid will be pulled away from the affected area, relieving the pain. Persons on medication (prescription drugs, thyroid etc.) may develop symptoms of overmedication when using the over all body treatment (magnetic bed).

As stress and inflammation are reduced in the body, toxins are released and metabolism improves. Drugs can become more effective, and may have to be reduced or discontinued as body chemistry changes. Consult your doctor for monitoring if symptoms occur.

To sum it all up, all injured and many diseased tissues are measurably magnetic positive. Positive magnetic field energy interferes with healing, and also drives abnormal cell division and promotes the growth of microorganisms. The use of a positive magnetic field or a combined positive and negative magnetic field is unsuited to treat degenerative diseases because of the fact that when the stress reflex fatigues (counterirritant reflex or adaptation) and symptoms reemerge, the chronic illness is reinforced.

Negative magnetic energy is the energy that heals, alkalinizes (which is the normal state of your cells and tissues), oxygenates and normalizes cellular metabolism. It therefore is a major contributor to correcting disordered metabolism, and improving the quality of your life. Since a negative magnetic field is not a stress field, it has no stress reflex (counterirritant reflex), and has no time limitation.

PRECAUTIONS

DO NOT use magnets on the abdomen during PREGNANCY.

DO NOT use a magnetic bed or magnets on your chest if wearing a PACEMAKER or DEFIBRILLATOR. A magnet within a few inches of these instruments can interrupt their function.

DO NOT use a magnetic bed for 24 hours daily if ill. This could suppress your adrenal glands, resulting in slow energy recovery. The magnetic bed may be used 8 - 10 hours per day, and then supplemented with spot therapy for specific symptoms.

DO NOT use magnets on the abdomen for 60 - 90 minutes following meals. This allows peristalsis to take place. DO NOT use positive magnetic energy on a prolonged basis unless under medical supervision.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Magnets, But Did Not Know Whom to Ask

Now that you understand that you are a magnetic being, exposed to and affected by electromagnetic radiation. And now that you know you can be protected by negative magnetic energy, you may be wondering...

"What magnets should I use? And how should I use them?

In this issue you will learn about the various kinds of magnets. You will learn about their strengths, their degree of penetration, and how to use them effectively. You will see the term "Gauss" used from time to time. It is simply a unit of magnetic field intensity, and represents the number of lines of magnetic force passing through an area of 1 square centimeter.

At the earth's surface, the magnetic field is about 0.5 gauss. A standard refrigerator magnet measures about 200 gauss. Therapeutic magnets may range from 2450 gauss to 5000 gauss, and industrial strength electromagnetic fields ofter measure more than 20,000 gauss. Except for the precautions mentioned at the end of this news letter, magnets are safe to use.

In fact, the application of static magnetic energy to humans has been approved by the FDA which, based on toxicity studies, has been clarified as "not essentially harmful." The magnetic fields of magnetic instruments cleared by the FDA for human application and industrial static magnets are identical. You have found out so far in previous newsletters, why it is important to always use a negative magnetic field!

MINI-BLOCK CERAMIC MAGNETS

They can be used on your head such as your temporal areas, frontal or occipital areas for headaches or management of emotional symptoms or seizures. They can be used on your fingers or toes. They can be used directly on your joints, under or incorporated into wraps around your joints. They can be placed on top of the Flexible Mats to reinforce the depth of magnetic field penetration. They are used in the Magnetic Mattress Pad, the Multipurpose Pads and the Magnetic Chair Pads. They are 1 7/8 x 7/8 x 3/8 inch with a manufacturers gauss rating of 3950.

CERAMIC DISC MAGNETS

They serve numerous valuable purposes such as around your head to treat headaches or other central nervous system symptoms, around your joints, and over lesions on your skin or subcutaneous tissues. The magnetic field of a Ceramic Disc extends to eight inches. The therapeutic value extends to about three inches. They are 1½ x 3/8 inch, with a manufacturers gauss rating of 3950.

CERAMIC BLOCK MAGNETS

The 4 x 6 x ½: inch Ceramic Block can be used around your joints, or to penetrate deeply into your liver, your internal organs, your heart, or into your head for the treatment of tumors. The magnetic field extends to twelve inches. The therapeutic value extends for 6-7 inches. They have a manufacturers gauss rating if 3950. A Ceramic Block Magnet that is 4 x 6 x 1 inch has a magnetic field extending to 19 inches with a therapeutic value extending to nine inches. The 4 x 6 x 1 inch Ceramic Block Magnets are used in the Vitality Sleeper to have a field that penetrates into the head during sleep, for the production of Melatonin. This is the age-reversing, disease-fighting, sleep-enhancing hormone.

Electromagnetic Contamination and
How It Affects You

Did you know that you live in an environment of electromagnetic contamination, that is adversely affecting your health?

Anytime an electric current is present, there will be an associated negative- positive magnetic field. Prolonged simultaneous exposure to a low (yet beyond human adaptation) or high gauss strength of both magnetic fields has been observed to be capable of producing positive magnetic field effects (lethargy, fatigue, illness etc.) on biological systems. Such prolonged biomagnetic exposure can upset the magnetic balance (negative-positive) of your body, causing disordering of your energy systems including brain function.

Studies Reported in the American Journal of Epidemiology have shown that children living in homes near overhead electrical wires carrying high current, died of cancer at twice the rate as children living in houses near low current wiring. Consider the effects of the 24-hour-a-day exposure of your body to frequencies and electrical waves not only from 60 cycle AC wired into your home and workplace, but also to the chronic low grade magnetic exposure from household appliances including TV and Video display terminals. These produce strong magnetic fields up to 1-2 feet from the screen. In addition, you are chronically exposed to the invisible waves from radio, telephone, police, fire and utility signals, as well as microwaves with various vibratory rates.

All of these environmental electric pulsating frequencies differ from those of human adaptation, and interfere with your metabolic function Your cells, organs and entire body have a unique functional vibratory rate, and react to subtle energy flows. These energy flows are constantly bombarding your body while awake or asleep. The natural pulsating frequency of the earth is approximately 7.96 cycles per second. This is the healthy vibrational frequency of the human body as a whole. When asleep, the rhythm of the brain runs from 1-2 cycles per second, and while awake and alert 8-12 cycles per second.

With mental concentration this increases to 18-22 cycles per second. In today's highly industrialized world, we live in a virtual sea of metabolically disturbing electromagnetic frequencies and biologically disordering positive magnetic fields. You can therefore easily understand how 60 cycle AC electric current and varying frequencies of radio waves, etc. are disordering the biologic metabolic function of man and animals alike. Here's What You Can Do To Protect Against Electromagnetic Contamination, And Preserve

Your Energy and Health.

Follow a few simple precautions. These include the following:
1. Investigate your home, yard and immediate surroundings for possible electromagnetic contamination areas and consider measures to reduce exposure.
2. Unplug waterbed heaters when occupying the bed
3. Discontinue use of electric blankets, until redesigned to reduce magnetic field emissions.
4. As far as possible, keep other electric appliances out of the bedroom. If you must have your electric clock, keep it several feet away from the bedside.
5. Sit at least 3 or more feet from any TV or video screen, or better yet, wear a negative pole magnet over your sternum (breastbone), when exposed to your computer screen, TV etc.

Follow a program of negative magnetic field therapy. This will provide protection against harmful magnetic fields. It can also be of value for existing physical and emotional illnesses where the magnetic balance has already been disrupted.

This would include the following:

1. Ideally a Magnetic Bed gives you the best overall benefit. It provides a protective shield of negative magnetic and natural earth frequency about your body during sleeping hours. This way you will benefit from this natural sleep inducing, stress reducing, anti-inflammatory environment. The health rewards of restorative sleep and stress management cannot be overemphasized.
2. Although total body treatment is preferable, if a magnetic bed is not available, follow the Nightly Routine Treatment. a) 30 - 60 minutes before going to bed, apply negative magnetic energy to your occipital area (back of head/base of skull, where the skull joins the soft neck tissue), your spleen (left side, low back, at the junction of the rib cage and abdomen), your liver (right side, low back, at the junction of the rib cage and abdomen), your thymus (anterior mid chest), your neck lymph nodes (upper front of neck, under chin) b) Go to bed with negative magnetic placed at the crown of your head, leaving it there all night. You can do this by placing four 4" X 6" ceramic magnets, standing upright, 1" apart at the head of your bed, with your head resting 2 -3 inches from the magnets.
3. Drink magnetically treated water. This provides you with additional preventive and therapeutic value, because the beneficial effects of negative magnetic energy are passed on to your entire system. It will have a calming effect on you. Here's how you treat the water: Place a glass of water on the negative pole of a magnet, or tape magnets to the glass, with the negative pole towards the water. Treat for a minimum of 5 minutes, but preferably longer. Drink two glasses of this magnetically treated water every day.

NOTE: During a flu epidemic, drink magnetically treated water every four hours to prevent or relieve symptoms.

Magnetic Energy - The Energy of Life How Many Times Have You Heard Yourself Say...

"I Wish I Had More Energy!" Energy is essential to your health and well being. But where does energy come from, and where does energy go? To answer these questions, it must be fully understood that your physical and mental energy are in reality magnetic energy which is produced in several different ways. You see, your life involves many physical and mental responses, all governed by electromagnetic energy.

What Are Your Sources of Energy?

FOOD AND WATER - these are digested and absorbed, ultimately producing electromagnetic energy.

SLEEP - this is nature's energy recharging process. When you're awake, your positive magnetic energy drive of physical and mental concentration is higher than your negative magnetic energy drive, and you "burn up" energy. When you sleep, the negative magnetic energy drive is higher than the positive magnetic energy drive, thus replenishing your energy stores.

ABSORBED MAGNETIC ENERGY - you absorb energy from the earth's magnetic field, and from inhaled oxygen, through its paramagnetic action. It is interesting to note that the higher the surrounding magnetic energy, the higher is your magnetic energy function. Did you know that sharks and insects both derive their energy mostly from magnetic fields, but interestingly both are resistant to viral infectious diseases including cancer?

insects have no immune system. Negative magnetic field energy is alkalinizing (pH normalizing), anti-inflammatory and oxygenating, all of which can solve many health problems without involving the immune system. It appears that the first line of defense in health is actually negative magnetic field energy, with the immune response running second.

OTHER SOURCES OF ENERGY - The flow of fluid through a magnetic field produces magnetic energy. It can be reasonably assumed that the flow of blood through your body produces an internal source of magnetic energy. Bones produce electromagnetic energy from flexion and stress during exercise, and electrolysis of cerebral spinal fluid during sleep produces biological energy.

Your life's energy therefore is not a single energy, but a balance of two distinctly separate energies - negative magnetic energy and positive magnetic energy. You are an electromagnetic organism plugged into the magnetic fields of the earth, sun and moon, and are influenced by external exposures and changes as well as internal stresses.

What Really Saps You Of Energy?

Your health is actually a battle of energies. Negative/positive magnetic energy balance vs. positive magnetic energy attackers (both internal and external). This balance is critical. When positive magnetic energy strength exceeds negative magnetic energy strength for very long, physical and/or emotional symptoms occur. Internal Influences that alter your magnetic energy balance and sap you of energy are allergens (foods, animals, plants etc.) nutritional deficiencies, addictions (caffeine, nicotine, drugs, alcohol etc.) infections, metabolic disorders and others. External influences that alter your magnetic energy balance and sap you of energy are:-

CHEMICAL TOXINS - Do you sometimes feel completely wiped out after shopping, or after work or other such activity? This could very well be due to exposure to petrochemical hydrocarbon products, auto exhaust, building materials, cleaning supplies, plastic fabrics, carpet materials and treatments, fabric dyes and treatments, perfumes, cigarette smoke etc.

GEOMAGNETIC DISTURBANCES - when sun flares jar the earth's magnetic field, they produce a higher ratio of positive magnetic energy to negative magnetic energy. Local magnetic fields are also altered by moon phases etc. Researchers have noted an increase on heart attacks during periods of geomagnetic disturbance, and emergency room workers will testify to the increased number of people who become emotionally disturbed during such times.

ELECTROMAGNETIC CONTAMINATION - chronic low-level electromagnetic radiation from power lines, electric blankets, household appliances, computer terminals etc. pose another environmental threat. Prolonged exposure to these appliances has been observed to produce positive magnetic field effects (lethargy, fatigue, illness etc.)

MAGNETIC FIELD DEFICIENCY SYNDROME - not only do metal buildings, automobiles, trains etc. shield you from the earth's natural energy source, but they are absorbing the earth's magnetic field, causing interference and loss of gauss strength. In fact, the earth's magnetic field has diminished 50% over the past 500 hundred years.

AMALGAM DENTAL FILLINGS - these create a positive magnetic field that not only encourages microorganism replication, but also interfere with biological energy in general, and brain function in particular. Weakness and ringing in the ears have been observed to be the main symptoms of such electromagnetic interference.

What Can You Do To Preserve And Increase Energy?

In addition to proper sleep, exercise, and proper diet and nutrition, the application of negative magnetic energy plays a significant role in maintaining optimum energy. Negative magnetic energy combats internal stresses and external influences. With sufficient negative magnetic field exposure, the battle for energy and health can be won. When your body is overstressed with positive magnetic energy attackers, externally applied negative magnetic energy will provide support. You should consider magnetic application not only as a preventive therapy, but also as a therapeutic modality for relieving symptoms and illnesses.
