TO BETTER UNDERSTAND how magnetics could help relieve pain it is helpful to understand some of the causes of pain.

1. Injury: When we injure ourselves in the form of bruising, cuts, sprains, fractures, etc., the injury reacts to the increased presence of bio-south (positive (+) polarity) energy in the area and sends a signal to the brain, which we feel as pain. The brain reacts by sending a bio-north magnetic field to the area to begin healing and reconstruction. When we apply a magnet to this pain, we supplement the bio-north magnetism, which can more quickly help eliminate the pain. In a double blind study done at Baylor College of Medicine, patients were asked to rate pain inflicted on pressure points. The average number given was about a nine. After applying magnets for 45 minutes the rating of pain had gone down to about a four for subjects who were given the real magnets and about an 8 for those who were unknowingly given an identical looking sham magnetic device. When we apply a magnet to this pain, we supplement the north pole energy that is required in the body to provide faster relief and allow the pain signal to be overcome. Only a bio-north pole magnet is used as if we would use a bi-polar magnet, the extra confusion and stress that is created would block the pain signals but healing would actually be delayed. This is of course why doctors such as Dr. William Philpott, Dr. Albert Roy Davis, and Dr. Walter Rwals recommend that only north pole magnets be used. 

2. Overall Health/Acidic state: Decades of clinical studies have established that the constant over acidification of the blood and tissues is the primary contributor to disease and sickness. This disturbs the central regulation of the human body-unbalancing it, causing sickness, disease and pain. An acid state produces swollen cells. Lack of oxygen is associated with a swollen state since oxygen cannot remain in a proper useable form in an acid state. Acidity, lack of oxygen and swollen cells are painful. Dr. William Philpott has proven that a bio-north magnetic field will increase oxygenation, reduce swelling and alkalinize (normalize) the body, in effect reversing the effects of over acidification, allowing our body to heal itself better while fighting these problems.

3. Referred Pain: Occasionally when treating pain symptoms, when we follow rule number one in using magnetic therapy—placing the north side of a magnet over the painful area—the pain symptoms are not relieved. Many times this is the result of referred pain. This happens because the interconnections of the body's electrical system relate to each other through a reflex arc. A couple of examples of this would be a disorder in the spine which causes a pain in the leg, or having an area on the body that is injured and referring pain to an internal organ. For this phenomenon it is necessary to treat the area that the pain has originated from and to treat the area the pain is referred to.

4. Scars: Many times an injury does not heal completely. It may appear healed, but there may be scarring or partial healing under the skin. Scarring under the surface of the skin is dangerous because a scar whether it is visible or not is abnormal to the body. Scars maintain a constant magnetic charge of south pole. We have received many reports of scar tissue completely disappearing after several months of continuous treatment with north pole magnetism.

5. Edema: Also known as swelling of the cells. This problem puts pressure on the nerve endings causing pain and decreased mobility. Magnetic water or mattress pads are helpful to treat the entire body, while individual magnets are useful for more specific problems. For edema that occurs in a joint due to injury or illness it is important to first place magnets above the joint or swollen limb, according to Dr. Philpott. Bio-North pole magnetism pulls fluids and this will draw the excess fluid towards the trunk of the body. An example of this might be a swollen knee due to a sprain. For this symptom, it would be advisable to place high-powered magnets above the knee or higher and if this does not work then try it directly on the area.

6. Infections: Infections are acidic and are quickly neutralized by bio-north
magnetism. This treatment normalizes pH, corrects cellular swelling (edema), promotes oxygenation, and actually has an antibiotic effect on microorganisms. It is important to remember that in treating an infection, often the bio-north magnet will relieve the symptoms in as quickly as a few minutes. It is recommended, however, to continue the treatment for a minimum of 14 days to achieve the full antibiotic effect. Magnetized water is an excellent, very effective way to treat an infection both externally and internally (orally) on an ongoing basis.

Magnetic energy and magnetic health are just one spoke in the wheel of perfect health. Magnetic therapy enhances your body's utilization of healthful foods and herbal supplements, (especially the Lyon Legacy Supplements that carry the proper electrical frequencies of your body) and makes exercise and physical therapy more effective. There are no side effects when using properly designed Lyon Legacy Bio-North Magnetics. Occasionally, pain may increase at first but this too is a sure sign that the magnetism is working in the body. If pain increases, simply remove the magnet, allow the body to stabilize, then reapply the magnet or try it in a different location, perhaps directly on the site of the injury. Do not immediately discard proper bio-north magnetic therapy if it does not work instantly or if symptoms or pain are increased initially. Remember that bio-north pole magnetism is completely safe and the goal is much more than temporary pain relief. Sleeping on one of our mattress pads creates a 4-6 gauss magnetic field from the magnets. Four gauss is what has been established as the level that the earth was at when the energy was ideal for health and healing.  Sleeping on this 4-6 gauss field safely restores and "Super Charges" your body and its cells each night.

One in three Americans use alternative therapies and hundreds of thousands use magnetic therapy. Worldwide, over 100 million people use this therapy, 30 million in Japan alone, where 10 million people sleep on magnetic beds to counter the effects of stress, pain, fatigue and various ailments. The Food and Drug Administration approved the use of electromagnets for medical purposes in 1978 and considers the permanent magnet even more favorable. Over 100,000 operations for bone fusion, muscular disorders, and other serious ailments are performed with electromagnets by licensed orthopedic surgeons annually. Permanent magnets do essentially the same work as electromagnets, without the side effects and expense that are associated with this alternating magnetism.
