Understanding the Principles of Magnet Therapy
Supplemental Magnetism, Proper Polarity Use And Why They are
Important
By Jack Lyon
Why do we call our products
"Magnetic Health Products?" Our belief, which is based on decades of
research, is that "supplemental" magnetism is absolutely essential.
Properly designed magnetic products should not be only used simply for
"therapy" but are essential to proper "health."
How essential is
magnetism to living organisms? The Smithsonian Institute determined that sharks and insects
obtain up to 90 percent of their energy from the Earth's magnetic field rather
than from food. Both sharks and insects are highly resistant to viral infectious
diseases, including cancer, even though insects do not have an immune system.
Dr. William Philpott believes magnetic energy is our first line of defense. He
describes our immune system as our second line of defense. 2
Dr. J.H. Vandyk and Dr. M.H.
Helpern did research for NASA in which they raised mice in specially prepared
metal cages that shielded them from the electromagnetism of the Earth. Within a
few weeks the animals lost their fur and began to die. The connective tissue in
their skin and internal organs showed signs of uncontrolled growth. Additional
animals raised in a normal environment during the same study remained healthy. 1
People are also healthier in
parts of the world where magnetic fields are stronger. Millions of people visit Lourdes, France
where greater magnetic fields prevail. As a result of
bathing, drinking and dabbing the water of Lourdes on their body, most people
report that they are feeling better as pain and stress are relieved, while over
2,000 inexplicable cures (with 65 so called miracles) have been recognized by
the authorities. 2
What would happen if a
Magnetic Field Deficiency occurred in the earth, since a degree of human energy
appears to be absorbed from the Earth's magnetic field?
Dr. Nakagawa, Director of the Isuzu
Hospital
in Tokyo, has spent 20 plus years
researching magnetism and humans. He concludes that a magnetic field deficiency
already exists which currently produces stiffness of shoulders, neck, and chest
pains, headache, heaviness of head, dizziness, insomnia, constipation and
lassitude. Nakagawa references authorities who have demonstrated that the
Earth's magnetic field has diminished 50 percent over the last 500 years. Dr.
Philpott questions whether the human body is weakening and deficiencies are
emerging, since when a patient with symptoms is exposed to a high gauss strength
magnet the symptoms are considerably relieved or disappear. Dr. Nakagawa also
points out that metal buildings, automobiles, trains, etc. are absorbing the
Earth's magnetic field causing interference and loss of gauss strength. Metal
structures not only absorb and interfere, but also shield us from essential
magnetism. 3
The above conclusions of
magnetic therapy researcher Dr. William Philpott regarding Magnetic Field
Deficiency have led him to say; "I have found through years and years of
research that the magnetic mattress pad is the best product for both prevention
and treatment of disease. Total body treatment, with a properly designed
magnetic mattress pad, provides the best overall benefit. It places the entire
body in a magnetic field that creates a natural sleep inducing, stress reducing,
anti-inflammatory environment all night long and the health rewards cannot be
over emphasized."
Why does proper design
with correct polarity matter? In 1936 Dr. Albert Roy Davis, established that each pole of
a magnet affects our biological systems in distinctly opposite ways. This
discovery was by accident after earthworms were inadvertently left near a strong
magnet after a canceled fishing trip. Through further experimentation they
leaned that the north pole was a calming energy, while the south pole was
stimulating. Distinctly opposite of each other. 4 Researcher Dr. Robert O.
Becker M.D. provided a very important fundamental observation concerning
magnetic therapy and response. He established that when an injury occurs, the
injured area registers magnetically south pole. After a few hours the area
without any outside magnetic influence registers north pole polarity. What this
proves is that north pole energy is a healing energy while south pole energy is
just the opposite. He also goes on to say that there appears to be a fundamental
force that heals. The force of magnetic energy. 5
Dr. William Philpott states
that "It has been supported, through multiple experiments, that there are
distinct and opposite effects of the two separate magnetic poles on metabolic
function. In terms of biological response, the separate poles are as distinctly
opposite as night and day." 3
Maybe you are wondering how
magnetic "electricity" can have an effect on our
"non-metallic" bodies. In 1923 Soviet biologist Alexander Gurwitsch,
who initiated research with the belief that all physical and biochemical
reactions all have as their essence electromagnetic energy, proclaimed,
"Every living cell also produces electromagnetic currents." Another
Soviet researcher, Georges Lakhovsky, was also convinced that the human body and
therefore the cells in that body are equipped with biological receivers that
react to every stimulus in the environment. He stated, "Every cell in a
body is stimulated by the resonating interaction of the rhythmical flow of
electromagnetic currents." It is clear from this research that the Earth's
magnetic field is intended to provide each cell in our body with the magnetic
and electrical energy that they need to survive. Since it has been established
that this energy is deficient, it is necessary to supplement this if we want to
live our lives to their fullest potential of health and length of life.
Why is it that so many
different illnesses can be successfully although seemingly mysteriously treated
with magnetic therapy? Professor Holger Hannemann of
Switzerland
states: "This is now easy
to understand when you keep in mind that many illnesses are the result of the
same basic dysfunction. Every illness is a bio-energetic (electrical) breakdown
of the organism. It is a sign that the cells have been deprived of energy and
the defense mechanism weakened. It is then the task of magnetic therapy to
remove the blockages that get in the way of normal functioning." 1
It is also easy to
understand knowing what you now know how the amazing results of Dr. Nakagawa are
possible. He has used magnetic therapy on more than 11,000 patients. The primary
complaint of these patients was muscle spasm in the shoulder and neck region.
For many of these patients, pain was already extending to the upper neck and
head and down the back. With magnetic therapy, he was able to free 90 percent of
the patients from pain. 1
So, are Magnetic Health
Products necessary? It
is obvious from listening to many experts that the answer is yes. Does the
polarity of a magnet that you are putting on your body matter? It appears
that our bodies are similar in response to any electrical device. What happens
if you put the batteries in backwards? IT DOESN'T WORK! What happens if we put
the batteries in backwards into a sensitive electrical device and leave them
there for a long time? The device is destroyed. Take care of your body and give
it the LIFE GIVING ENERGY that it deserves. Give your body the magnetism it
needs and make sure that it is only a properly designed north pole magnetic
device.
Why, when all this knowledge is known, is magnetic
therapy not more widely used? I wonder if magnets
were disposable and a company such as drug companies or medical supply companies
could sell them for one time usage, if the "lack of research" that I
have detailed in this article would suddenly become "proven and researched
facts."
