People get sick now and then. Conventional medicine works for some diseases and does not work for others. Herbalists have also come up with every sort of root, leaf or tree bark, which also cures certain ailments and not others – this is what is called alternative medicines and in some cases it has proved to work wonders.
We went ahead and researched on the harnessing of the God given forces to treat ailments, and come up with the use of magnetic field therapy which in essence realigns our body balance enabling it to function to its optimum point.
How bio-magnetic therapy (magnetic-field) works
Magnetism is a phenomenon involving magnetic fields and the effects on other materials exposed to a magnetic field. A magnetic field is a region of forces that exists around a magnet. The field can be drawn as a series of curved lines, called "lines of force", joining the north and south poles of the magnet. The earth itself behaves like a giant magnet. Its magnetic field, caused by electric currents inside the liquid part of its core, stretches thousands of miles into space.
Fields from both permanent magnets and electromagnets have the same effect on surrounding objects and are both referred to as "electromagnetic" fields. The force generated by an electromagnetic field together with gravity, the weak atomic force, and the strong atomic force, constitute the four fundamental forces of nature.
How do magnetic fields affect the body?
Magnetism affects the human body through the circulatory system, the nervous system, and the endocrine system. It is constantly penetrating all particles, right down to the atom. Magnetism's ordering effect on living systems arises from the fact that magnetism is a blueprint of life itself. Recent research indicates that magnetism has a very significant biological effect on the human body.
The following is a list of the processes believed to take place when the body is exposed to magnetic fields, which contribute to pain relief and improved health:
1) Magnetism increases the electrical conductivity of the blood. Weak current runs through the magnetic field and the quantity of ions is increased - the ionised blood circulating throughout the body improves the efficiency of blood flow, as well as stabilising blood pressure.
2) Blood contains iron, or ferrous hemoglobin, which is a carrier of oxygen and carbon dioxide. As blood circulates through the lungs, fully magnetised ferrous hemoglobin is able to carry more oxygen to cell tissue as well as take more carbon dioxide waste from cells back to the lungs for removal.
3) When tissue is exposed to a magnetic field, a secondary current is created around the flux lines in the cells. This ionises the protoplasm and energies the cell tissue by activating cell metabolism. Cell functions are strengthened as the cell metabolism responds to the electrical currents initiated by the magnetic field. This current can cause muscle spasms to decrease, as well as decreasing inflammation of tissue. The increase in the cell metabolism aids both new cell growth and cell regeneration.
4) The negative pole energy of a magnetic field interferes with the ability of nerve cells to transmit pain impulses to the brain where the pain is registered. When a negative magnetic field is placed over a nerve, the positively charged ions of the nerve impulse are attracted to the negative magnetic field, thereby impeding the flow of the positively charged ions through the nerves to the brain.
5) Magnetism may work to regulate and/or normalise hormone secretion in the glands. A theory is that the increased electrical current being produced by a magnet forms a 'net' around the glands and secretory ducts. Increased concentration of oxygen stimulates production while the 'net' optimises secretion. Normalising the hormone functions within the body affects conditions caused by a hormone imbalance. Hormones are an important factor in rejuvenation and overall energy levels, while proper circulation ensures that hormone levels are distributed evenly throughout the body.
Magnetism and healing
Physicist Dr Buryl Payne has published in-depth studies on magnetic fields and the body, and is considered to be an authority on the subject. According to Dr Payne, sensitive instruments have allowed scientists to observe and record some of the ways magnetic fields affect living organisms - specific factors now known to be involved in magnetic healing.
An increase in blood flow along with the resulting increase in oxygen carrying capacity, both of which are primary factors in helping the body heal itself, can be attributed to the presence of a magnetic field. Magnetic fields can also change the migration of calcium ions which can bring calcium ions to heal a broken bone in half the usual time. The PH balance of body fluids, which are often out of balance in connection with illness, can apparently be altered by magnetic fields. The level of hormone production from the endocrine glands can be changed and enzyme activity can be altered by magnetic stimulation as well.
Dr Paynes findings are supported by a number of studies by other doctors. Dr Kenneth MacLean, founder of the Institute of magnetics in New York, has treated cancer patients described as "hopeless" with powerful magnets. After studying microscopic cellular changes after the magnetic treatment, his conclusion were that "exposure to strong magnetic fields was at least beneficial in every case and harmful in none". His patients reacted so favorably, in a few cases becoming virtually pain free, that he has expanded his electromagnetic treatment.
Researchers in California, at Loma Linda University's School of Medicine, have found, following studies in over a dozen countries with over 1,000 patients, that "low-frequency, low-intensity magnetic energy has been successful in treating chronic pain related to issue ischemia, and also worked in clearing up slow healing ulcers, and in ninety-percent of patients tested, raised blood flow significantly".
Magnetic therapy is receiving coverage in medical journals as a treatment for osteoarthritis. Trial studies have been performed on groups of people where half were treated with electromagnetic fields, and the other half received a placebo treatment. At the end of the study, the electromagnetic treatment group indicated improvements over the placebo group in symptoms including pain, tenderness, and the ability to perform daily activities.
Peter Gwynne reports in a recent issue of MIT's Technology Review that "Bio-magnetism is promising to take a role in medical diagnosis, helping physicians zero in on a spectrum of ailments ranging from brain disorders to lung disease to liver conditions". The U.S. Federal Government has invested several million dollars in magnetic research. Although scientists state that bio-magnetism is still an experimental science, and not established as a diagnostic procedure, they do agree that, unlike many other alternative medicine techniques, bio-magnetism is non-invasive and not harmful.
Veterinarians have been using magnetic therapy as a treatment for injury and pain, especially in horses. Vets and trainers are placing magnetic therapy products around injured parts of horses. They claim that the healing process is enhanced by using them. Reputable vets and trainers have noted positive effects using magnetic therapy as part of the treatment process.
