Have you ever read or have
been told that "it is not known why magnets
work"? Well, this is untrue. All human and animal
bodies are electromagnetic in nature and this fact is
closely allied to the chemical balance of the body which
can be in either a healthy or an unhealthy state.
It is now known
scientifically that a healthy body contains fluids that
are slightly alkaline and that an unhealthy body is
acidic. A poor diet can make the body acidic and in this
state all sorts of dis-eases will thrive. (Dr John
Millward MD, "Your Life in the Balance",
available on our website.)
It is also known that at
damaged sites in the body, exists a positive electrical
charge which affects both the chemical balance the
electrical balance in the area resulting in pain. In order
to effect healing, the body's own systems send a negative
electrical charge to the area. (Dr Robert Becker,
"The Body Electric")
This healing action of the
body is easily restricted by poor diet, lifestyle,
alcohol, drugs etc. There is also a lot of evidence of
something called "Magnetic Deficiency Syndrome"
being a major contributor to restricting the body's
ability to respond to illness. I will be looking in depth
at this syndrome in a later article.
It is now firmly
established that a negative magnetic field, provided by a
geomagnetic north pole magnetic field (the same as the
Earth's North Pole), is the most natural way of providing
much needed support for the body's own immune system.
Dr W Philpott MD, a
practitioner of magnet therapy for over 40 years explains
that negative magnetic fields oxygenate and alkalise by
aiding the body's defences and helping to relieve pain.
Further, they combat inflammation and infection and
enhance deep restorative sleep.
This latter point is
extremely important. In order to combat maladies that
result from the stress of our current lifestyles, the
correct amount of good quality sleep is essential. Combine
this with the possibility of at least reducing the amount
of powerful drugs taken and what results is a completely
natural complementary therapy.
It is probably wise at this
stage just to say that anyone reading this article that is
undergoing a course of treatment with a health
professional should not stop the treatment but consider
using magnetic therapy in support. Also, magnetic therapy
should not be used if any electronic implants are present
in the body.
Given the correct choice
and placement of magnetic device, this is probably the
most effective alternative therapy available. Typical
successful application results in 80 to 90% of cases,
higher with some forms of dis-ease. Magnet therapy can be
applied by you whenever and wherever needed. Modern
materials technology has produced small powerful
inexpensive magnets which can be used anywhere on the body
and can be moved about to find the best positions.
Sleeping on magnets provides a most efficacious
application.
In the next article in this
series, I will be looking at the subject of magnets, their
strength measurement and a complete explanation of
polarity.
