THE EFFECTS OF BIO-MAGNETISM ON LIVING
SYSTEMS
by DR. R. T. Jacobs
WHAT IS A MAGNET ?
In any substance that is susceptible to becoming magnetized
(ferromagnetic or paramagnetic material), the arrangement of
the electrons is haphazard. When this material is placed in a
strong electrical current, the electric current rearranges the
atoms in the material so that they are in alignment - with their
electrons orbiting in the same direction. The magnets field
strength depends on the number of atoms that can be
polarized. This lining up of the electrons during the
magnetization process musters and deploys energy which was
previously potential.
The magnetic lines of force flow: at one end of the magnet is a
SOUTH pole with a vortex of electrons rotating in a clockwise
(dextrogyric) direction with a positive charge. At the opposite
end is a NORTH pole with a vortex of electrons rotating in a
counterclockwise (sinistrogyric) direction with a negative
charge.
In the middle of the magnet where the magnetic lines of force
cross there is a zone where the magnetic field is zero. This is
called the Block wall. This is true for every magnet as well as
mother earth. This phenomenon was first discovered by Albert
Roy Davis and Walter Rawls in their research laboratory in
Green Cove, Florida. This work was later confirmed by the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Bio-magnetism is using Nature's Energy to help overcome the
Magnetic Deficiency Syndrome while living in a supplemental
magnetic field. The magnetic field increases blood flow,
nutrition and oxygen to the body's cells and tissues.
SYMPTOMS OF MAGNETIC DEFICIENCY SYNDROME
Kyoichi Nakagawa
Lumbago. Stiffness of shoulders, back and scruff of neck.
Chest pains for no specific reason. Habitual headache.
Heaviness of the head. Dizziness. Insomnia for uncertain
reasons. Habitual constipation. General lassitude.
Hypertension and disease of the digestive organs. Diabetes.
Bone and nerve diseases. Symptoms resist normal treatment
regimens. No objective pathological findings found.
He found 850 gauss magnets gave the best response.
LISTEN TO YOUR BODY - IT WILL TELL YOU WHAT NEEDS TO
BE DONE AND FOR HOW LONG
PRECAUTIONS
MAGNETS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH PACEMAKERS OR
AUTOMATIC INTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS.
DON'T APPLY MAGNETS IN CASES OF PREGNANCY.
Don't apply strong magnets to the abdomen immediately after
eating a large meal - alters acid production and
gastrointestinal motility.
Don't use a strong magnet on the head.
Optimum metabolic health is a balance between north and
south pole magnetic energies.
.
A new field of energy medicine is emerging. Magnetic energy
can be used as a non-nutritional source of energy to evoke
specific biological responses. Life is a matter of balance
between north and south pole magnetic polarities and not just
one or the other of the poles. The metabolic responses of
biological systems to specific magnetic energy polarity and
Gauss strength are consistently dependable. The body is an
electrical as well as a chemical unit. Magnetic fields produce
small electrical currents under the skin - sufficiently powerful
enough to cause biological effects such as pain reduction,
regeneration of cells and nerves, etc. Magnets usually work
better than they are predicted to - they are the safest and
finest therapy you can buy - nothing is better in many cases. If
you sense any discomfort while wearing any magnetic device take it off and the discomfort will go away very quickly. You
don't have to worry about creating another conditions from an
overdose. BEFORE USING MAGNETIC ENERGY YOU SHOULD
FIND OUT WHY AND WHERE THE PAIN IS COMING FROM BY
CONSULTING YOUR HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. The beauty of
the universe and the biological systems within it is its
marvelous simplicity, unity of design and orderliness. Negative
magnetic energy can cause increased melatonin production by
stimulating the pineal gland at night. Melatonin has been
established as having the values of a master control over
hormones, sleep, immune function, anti oxidants, infections,
respiration, mineral metabolism and all other metabolic energy
systems. While our body is recovering its biological energy
loss, as we sleep, melatonin and growth hormone are active
participants in this recovery process.
SLEEP
Making and maintenance of biological energy is a recovery
process that occurs during sleep.
Melatonin and growth hormone
a) Melatonin - is master hormone controlling all energy
expressions of the body
b) Growth hormone - is necessary for the body to make protein
from amino acids. Positive magnetic energy exposures during
the day stops the production of melatonin and growth hormone
a) sunshine and skyshine
At night we are in a higher negative than positive magnetic
field. Documented that an anti - stress negative magnetic field
raises melatonin levels.
Documented that an anti-stress negative magnetic field raises
melatonin levels.
Magnetotherapy, It Can Help You
by Ken Wiancko, MD
Conventional medicine has long opposed "alternative"
treatment techniques. With many of these, although they
provide benefits to those using them, their mode of action was
unexplained scientifically. Magneto therapy (treatment of
illness with magnetic current) has been extensively
researched and the physiology of its benefits documented.
Life developed under the influence of the earth's geomagnetic
field. Although this field is relatively small, it plays a major
role in many bodily functions. All tissues of the body and
nervous system carry electromagnetic charges. These in turn
react to magnetic fields. Cell regulation is governed by
electromagnetic currents of the body. The body itself creates
a magnetic field (termed bio-magnetism) which can be
measured by sensitive magnetometers. In disease states
these body electromagnetic potentials are altered and again
are measurable. The effects of magnetics on the body is called
magneto-biology, the subject of this article.
Magnets have been used for healing for thousands of years.
The term magnet comes from Magnesia, a province in Asia
Minor, where ancient Greeks discovered the rock, Magnetite,
that attracted ferrous material. These people, and early
Chinese, recorded its use in their medical literature. Medical
use of magnets has been reported throughout the ages, as, in
recent years, been the subject of world wide interest.
Dr. Nakagawa (Japanese Medical Journal #2745) in his paper,
"Magnetic Field Deficiency Syndrome and Magnetic
Treatment" outlines the problems of the lack of magnetism on
the human. He believes the body is under the influence of the
earth's magnetic field and is kept in balance in relationship to
it.
Under modem living conditions this field is decreased by
shielding of steel frame buildings, automobiles, etc. Also, the
earth's magnetic field has deteriorated 50% in the last 1000
years adding to the deficiency of magnetic force on the body.
Lack of magnetism can cause abnormalities as stress,
headaches, arthritis, muscle pain, the chronic fatigue
syndrome, and even allergies. Space research by US and
Russia has shown that the loss of calcium form the bone
(osteoporosis) in astronauts is due to the lack of magnetic
field action on the body in space.
Magneto-therapy has many other forms. Application of
electromagnetic current to non-unioned fractures often results
in healing that has resisted all standard treatment. European
studies have shown benefits of permanent magnetic and low
frequency pulsed magnetic therapy for asthma, hypertension,
heart attacks, varicose ulcers, arthritis, and rheumatism.
Newly developed units help control stress and prevent jet lag
("Stressmaster"), control insomnia and anxiety ("Neuron One"),
and offer non-pharmaceutical pain relief ("Psychotron Delphi").
Life and the body have been looked upon as a mechanical
model functioning with a chemical internal environment.
Treatment has been undertaken with this same mechanicalchemical theory. It is now starting to be appreciated that
health and disease, in many cases, depend on our body's
electromagnetic balance/
Dr. Wiancko is a practicing surgeon with an increasing interest
in bio-magnetics and magneto-therapy.
Magnetic Pain Relief
We have all heard about magnetic bracelets and other devices
that are said to increase circulation and relieve pain, but does
magnetic therapy really work? According to Paul J. Rosch,
M.D., F.A.C.P., president of the American Institute of Stress,
clinical professor of medicine and psychiatry at New York
Medical College and a HealthInform advisory board member,
"Magnets are not approved for treatment of pain or any other
medical condition, but the fact is that all modern permanent
magnets seem to relieve pain… magnets can relieve the
diverse pain syndromes, accelerate the healing of post
traumatic bone and soft tissue injuries and are not only safe,
but extremely cost effective".
What is Magnetism ?
The human body is naturally surrounded by the magnetic fields
of the earth, moon, sun, and other galactic fields. Those
magnetic fields penetrate the body as if it were merely air, due
to the fact that the body is 70% or more water. When properly
controlled, energy is able to accumulate in the body tissues.
Cells are moved by the magnetic pulsation that passes
through them naturally, so the pulsating field of energy
created by magnets enables an effective therapy, which can
be used for a wide range of symptoms. Ken Wiancko, M.D.
states, "This [magnetic field] causes a better blood circulation
in the vessels and capillaries, increasing the partial pressure
of oxygen in the tissue and resulting in an accelerated
transportation of metabolic waste products- a basic
requirement for every healing process".
Magnetic Therapy
"Every cell and atom of the body is a small magnetic dynamo,"
says Dr. William Pawluk, M.D., MSc., Board-certified family
doctor, trained in acupuncture, hypnosis, and homeopathy,
who is also on the faculty at Hopkins. Because of this,
magnets can have an affect on the body in several different
ways.
They stimulate the acupuncture points and meridians,
enabling them to be used for pain relief, fibromyalgia, and
muscle strains.
Due to the fact that they contain iron, they affect red blood
cells.
They are able to increase blood flow.
They can affect some of the chemical processes within and
between cells.
They are able to affect nerve signals, even to the point of
causing anesthesia if the magnet is strong enough.
They can be used to study and map nerve structures deep
within the brain that are normally only accessible during brain
surgery.
SQUIDS, or the body's magnetic fields, show evidence of
enhanced magnetic signals for extended periods of time after
the magnets have been removed. These effects can be
produced by permanent magnets, such as flat magnetic pads,
and electromagnets, such as MRI machines and nerve
conduction testing devices. According to research that has
been conducted, magnetic therapy can be used to treat
Parkinson's disease, migraines, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis,
insomnia, anxiety, and osteoarthritic pain, along with a wide
variety of minor pain symptoms. According to Dr. Rosch,
"Further research is obviously needed, but there can be little
doubt that magnetotherapy will replace many drugs in the
millennium, where it will become an increasingly important
component of mainstream medicine." Dr. Pawluk is in
agreement; "We are clearly seeing a new day in medical
sciences and health care with the expanded awareness and
use of complementary techniques of care".
