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.
