MAGNETIC THERAPY
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the
use of bio-magnetism in the field of therapeutics.
Magnetics is being applied increasingly in health care fields
in many countries throughout the world. To better understand
its application in today's world, let's take a brief
historical look at magnetism.
People have benefited from the use of magnetism for
centuries. Aristotle himself understood and praised the
healing properties of naturally occurring magnets.
Additionally, magnets were used for healing by ancient
Chinese, Indian, Arab, Hebrew and Egyptian civilizations.
In more recent times, Dr. Robert O. Becker has widely
researched and discussed the usage of magnetic and electrical
therapy in his books "The Body Electric" and "Cross
Currents".
European and American doctors are said to be treating
ulcers, severe burns as well as soft tissue and bone and
joint injuries with electromagnetic fields. Russian doctors
frequently employ magnets to accelerate the healing of post
surgical wounds. The magnets seem to improve circulation
and to strengthen the bones.
Some dentists have found using magnets on acupunture
points reduce bleeding and decrease pain sensations. They
also discovered that chronic pain from TMJ syndrome, headache
and teeth grinding were relieved with magnets.
Sleep Better With Magnets
We spend nearly one third of our lives sleeping! Nearly
one in every three of us (50 million adult Americans)
experience some difficulty with it on an everyday basis. A
Gallup poll of 1,550 Americans revealed that Easterners and
Midwesterners sleep less than Southerners and that more women
than men sleep for eight hours a night.
Recent studies show lack of sleep to be a secondary
cause of fatigue, physical and mental alertness and can
result in lowered awareness levels, decreased ability to
concentrate, lowered job performance and diminished testing
skills. It can also increase occurrences of work accidents
and car wrecks.
There are many root causes for insomnia. However,
extensive research suggests that most of them may be
physiological. Aching joints, bones and muscles steal hours
of precious sleep from thousands of people. If they're
sleeping on sagging, non-supportive and/or improperly
designed mattresses and pillows, the problem is compounded.
This is where the magnetic sleep system
comes in. Consisting of a mattress pad and pillow, using
cutting edge technology, it has been designed with ultimate
support and comfort in mind. Many people who have
experienced numerous pain and sleep problems have reported
a peaceful night of sleep after not sleeping well for months
and even years!
Many people with sleep disorders have benefited greatly
from the use of this system. After countless sleepless
nights, they have finally been able to enjoy solid sleep.
These have been widely used in Japan for the past twenty
years. In fact, one out of every eight Japanese families
sleep on a magnetic mattress.
Although not scientifically explainable, testing indicates
that all of the body's acupuncture meridians are balanced
within 15 minutes of lying and/or sleeping on the magnetic
sleep system.
Here are a few more of the many reported benefits of
magnetic therapy:
* Those who sleep on the mattress report warmer hands and
feet, lessened muscle and joint pain. They also wake up
feeling rested and revitalized.
* Activates blood and lymph cirulations, thereby carrying
nutrients more effectively to the body's cells and
enables the body to better heal itself.
* Balancing of the endocrine glands.
* May enhance organ and immune function.
* Can help with alleviating the pain of toothache, neck and
shoulder stiffness and joint swellings.
* There have been many reports of increased energy level.
Magnetic research is ongoing in many learning institutions
such as the University of California in San Francisco; Loma
Linda University in San Diego; Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT); New York University; Columbia University in
New York; and the University of Colorado. Additionally,
research continues in many other countries throughout the
world.
Using a magnetic car seat people have reported:
* Able to drive long distances without fatigue and
muscle tension
* Able to remain relatively calm in stressful traffic
situations
* Feel more energized and alert
* Better reaction time
* Increased enjoyment in driving
