Magnet Field
Therapy- An Under Appreciated Science
Magnets have been
used for healing applications for over 4000
years (that we know of), yet our mainstream
medicine pays little attention to the amazing
results that researchers worldwide are
discovering. The science and understanding
behind magnetic field therapy continues to
become clearer. Magnetic fields work on a
very complete level within the body, having
beneficial affect on all body systems, including
nerves. As magnet therapy relates to
nerves, the following health benefits are
observed and noted in many studies and books.
Physiological Benefits of Magnet Therapy
-
A re-alignment
of ions within damaged or sick cells occurs,
restoring healthy cellular functions.
This is BIG folks.
-
An increase in
zeta potential occurs.
Most people do not know what the Zeta
potential is. The Zeta potential is the Negative charged energy
that is
important for cellular transfer,
neutralization of free-radicals and reduced
swelling. High Zeta
potential indicates health and metabolic
efficiency - low Zeta potential indicates
poor health.
-
An
increase in circulation and perfusion
occurs. When the body’s blood flow oxygen level is
increased, nutrients and hormones are
distributed more efficiently.
-
Toxins in the
tissues are drawn out
as the
magnetized blood passes through the tissues.
The toxins are then carried to the
liver
for detoxification and on to the
kidneys
for excretion.
-
Endorphin
hormones are released by the brain,
providing natural pain relief.
-
Positive
"pain signals" (out-of-wack ions) sent by
nerve cells to the brain are reduced.
This
may also help further explain why so many
people report significant pain relief with
biomagnet therapy.
-
A dramatic
reduction in inflammation occurs.
Reducing
inflammation body wide can have a wonderful
effect on reducing nerve aggravation. (Apply
negative (north pole) magnets to your feet,
hands, back, neck, etc.) When
inflammation in the body is alleviated, the
damage caused by the inflammatory process
begins to be repaired by a fresh and rich
supply of oxygen and nutrients. Cells that
have been disrupted and de-oxygenized begin
to heal, and tissue regeneration starts.
Excess fluid is eliminated from the body and
toxins are removed. The circulatory system
returns to normal and the heart does not
have to work so hard to pump extra fluid
around the body.
-
Magnetic water is energized, oxygenated, and
pH balanced.
It permeates cell membranes more
efficiently, delivering energy and
nutrients.
We've gathered a
few bits of material here below regarding
magnets and nerve health. If you have a
success story of pain relief or nerve
improvement, please

"Dead nerve in leg revived with Magnet Therapy"
I had a
very bad fall, which required extensive
surgery. It left me with a painful limp
and complete numbness below my knee. My
doctor told me there was nerve damage
and I would have to live with it. I
applied the Biomagnets, which took away
the pain and the limp. Then I did the
advanced protocol and within a week I
had feeling in my leg. The
nerves regenerated and the
mobility increased every day – something
the doctor told me would not happen. I
now have full mobility. It was a horror
to be told just live with it.

"Magnetic
bio-stimulation of painful diabetic peripheral
neuropathy."
Of the 10
diabetic subjects 90% experienced
statistically significant reductions and/or
resolutions of their symptoms of burning, pain,
numbness, and tingling. - Dr. Michael
Weintraub M.D.
"Magnetic bio-stimulation of painful diabetic
peripheral neuropathy: a novel intervention-a
randomized, double-placebo crossover study."
Volume: AJPM Vol. 9 No. 1 January 1999
pgs 8-17
The
pathophysiology of diabetic peripheral
neuropathy (DPN) is complex and poorly
understood. Despite the current state of
technology, dysesthetic pain in the
extremities of diabetics and other
patients with neuropathies remains a
refractory problem. Conventional
treatment is largely symptomatic,
somewhat arbitrary, and often
ineffective. Prior preliminary studies
suggested that the application of
magnetic foot pads may be a modifiable
factor in intractable neuropathic pain
syndromes. The primary objective of this
randomized, double-placebo control,
crossover trial was to test the
effectiveness of magnet therapy in
neuropathic pain and also to assess the
role of placebo. Secondary objectives
were to quantify nerve conduction
electrophysiologic changes and
neurologic examination changes over a
4-month period. Of 24 initial patients,
19 completed the 4-month trial. There
were 10 patients with advanced and
refractory DPN (Stage II/III) and 9
non-DPN. Improvement was significantly
more pronounced in the diabetic cohort,
90% versus 33%, at the end of four
months (p < 0.02). During the first
month, the placebo response was noted to
be the same in both groups (22%) for
symptoms of burning and numbness and
tingling, whereas in the second month,
the placebo effect was greater in the
DPN cohort (38% versus 22%). This was
felt to represent an overshoot
phenomenon. At the end of 4 months,
improvement was significantly more
pronounced in the diabetic cohort for
burning (p < .05) and numbness and
tingling reduction (p < .05).
Neuropathologic differences identified
severe axonal damage principally in the
diabetic cohort (absent CMAP 60%, absent
SNAP 100%), whereas mild demyelinating
changes were seen principally in the
N-DPN group. These severe axonal changes
were strongly predictive of clinical
success and responsiveness. There were
no significant serial changes in the
neurologic examination or
electrodiagnostic studies. Painful
dysesthesias associated with C-fiber
dysfunction in the diabetic cohort
responded dramatically to exposure to
static magnetic fields. The most
plausible explanation of benefit and
suppression of symptoms was that the K+
internal rectifying channels were
stimulated producing repolarization
and/or hyperpolarization. Despite the
uncertainty regarding the precise
mechanism of this novel approach, the
results are impressive and suggest that
a legitimacy exists for magnet therapy
as a safe and unique therapy in
neuropathic diabetic foot pain. These
preliminary data need to be validated by
a larger longitudinal study.

“They’ve proven
effective in more than 80 percent of the
patients. In some
cases such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, the
success rate is 95%” (the success rate for
surgery is less than 35%). -

W. Bradley Worthington, former president of the
Tennessee Society of Anesthesiologists has used
Biomagnets on more than 1,000 patients with
tremendous success.

Before
and After Energized Blood Tests
Sample
Taken Prior to Energy Therapy: The
sample below was taken from a 26 year old
male professional with a history of physical
inactivity, poor nutrition, lack of water
consumption, difficulty sleeping and general
malaise. He had fasted all night before the
test.
This is a
typical picture of poor life style choices.
The red blood cells are stacking due to
dehydration, inflammation, and or loss of
the Zeta potential. The Zeta potential is
the slight negative charge around a healthy
red blood cell. This enables better
perfusion and exchange of nutrients at the
capillary beds.
Capillaries can
be one-third the size of a red blood cell.
When the cell comes in contact with the
capillary wall, there is an exchange of
gases (O2 goes into the tissues and CO2
comes out of the tissues). When the cells
are over lapping there is less exposed
cellular surface area and less cellular gas
exchange, therefore there is less ability
for the body to rid itself of toxins. This
can lead to many variations of maladies.
Also observed
are a large amount of fats (small floating
specks) which could be the effect of a fast
food diet. Normally fats are cleared from
the blood within four hours of ingestion.
Hydrogenated fats however, which have been
observed to take days and have actually been
observed getting into the body’s
communication systems, may take in this case
awhile to clear from the blood.
Sample 1 – Live, Pre-treated
Sample 2
- After Energy Therapy: This sample [2] was taken after applying
the sternum therapy for 30 minutes. There is
some improvement observed in the form of
relief of congestion in the plasma, however
the stacking (Rouleau) remains as well as
the fats (specks).
The smallest
size fats are HDL’s, medium sizes are LDL’s,
and the very large fats may be cylomicrons
or hydrogenated fats from a fast food diet.
Fats enter the body in the Micro Villa
(finger like projections in the small
intestine that emulsify the ingested fats)
into the Lacteal Duct (the Lymphatic
system). This is very significant due to the
fact that the Lymphatics house our immune
system and powerful antioxidants that the
liver creates. The fats are then dumped into
the Subclavian Vein and into the blood
stream. One can only imagine the congestion
this can cause with a constant diet high in
harmful fats including hydrogenated and
partially hydrogenated oils.
An important
issue is that the Lymphatic System does not
have a pump like the Arterial System. Some
of the ways it is able to circulate include
exercise through the pumping action of the
muscles and deep breathing which changes the
thoracic pressure to create movement both in
the Lymphatics as well as the Venous System.
This information is significant in this case
due to the fact that this individual doesn’t
exercise and consumes a large diet of fat.
Sample 2 – Live, Treated 30 minutes
Sample 3 - After Energy Therapy:
This sample was taken two hours later
(total 2.5 hours after original sample).
The Zeta Potential was reinstated, which
significantly improved circulation. This
sample shows the White Blood Cells
(WBC’s) with increased motility, the
liver and gallbladder having cleared the
fats and verifies that the negative
energy from the bio-magnets has given
the body its ability to perform
properly.
Sample 3 – Live, Treated 2.5 hours
Dry Cell
Microscopy
Sample
Taken Prior to Energy Therapy: The
dry cell (a.k.a. Bowen Test, from Dr. Bowen,
out of Mass. General Hospital) shows
evidence of oxidative stress/free radical
activity that is observed in this sample as
a white area. This is a good indicator of
free radical activity in all the tissues.
Sample 1 – Dry, Un-treated
Sample 2
- After Energy Therapy: This very
simple therapy (Daytime therapy - negative
over the sternum/heart) has re-established
the healthy negative charge around the red
blood cells. It is obvious that this very
simple therapy has greatly impacted
circulation and is the first step to
re-establish a healthy terrain, along with
dietary changes.
The dry cell has
filled in, showing no free radical activity
in the matter of a few hours. In my many
years of clinical experience, I have not
seen this kind of dramatic change. The young
man has had an immediate increase in energy
and is going to work on his diet and
hydration.
Sample 2 – Dry, Treated 2.5 hours
Conclusion
The pattern of the increased Zeta
potential manipulating the blood cells
into homeostasis, alleviating the
dangerous fats by energizing the liver
and gallbladder function, and
neutralizing the oxidative stress
remains consistent and constant in all
cases [reviewed so far] with the
use of properly designed bio-magnets,
applied in specific systemic therapy
applications.

"Effect of
weak, interrupted sinusoidal low frequency
magnetic field on neural regeneration in rats:
functional evaluation."
This
controlled study found that exposure to pulsed
electromagnetic fields enhanced the speed and
degree of peripheral nerve regeneration two-fold in rats with experimentally severed
sciatic nerves. - "Effect of Weak,
Pulsing Electromagnetic Fields on Neural
Regeneration in the Rat." Bervar
M.Department of Plastic and Reconstructive
Surgery, Maribor General Hospital, Maribor,
Slovenia. marijan.bervar@sb-mb.si
A study of
the effect of weak, interrupted sinusoidal
low frequency magnetic field (ISMF)
stimulation on regeneration of the rat
sciatic nerve was carried out. In the
experiment, 60 Wistar rats were used: 24
rats underwent unilateral sciatic nerve
transection injury and immediate surgical
nerve repair, 24 rats underwent unilateral
sciatic nerve crush injury, and the
remaining 12 rats underwent a sham surgery.
Half of the animals (n = 12) with either
sciatic nerve lesion were randomly chosen
and exposed between a pair of Helmholtz
coils for 3 weeks post-injury, 4 h/day, to
an interrupted (active period to pause ratio
= 1.4 s/0.8 s) sinusoidal 50 Hz magnetic
field of 0.5 mT. The other half of the
animals (n = 12) and six rats with sham
surgery were used for two separate controls.
Functional recovery was followed for 6 weeks
for the crush injuries and 7(1/2) months for
the transection injuries by video assisted
footprint analysis in static conditions and
quantified using a recently revised static
sciatic index (SSI) formula. We ascertained
that the magnetic field influence was weak,
but certainly detectable in both injury
models. The accuracy of ISMF influence
detection, determined by the one-way
repeated measures ANOVA test, was better for
the crush injury model: F(1, 198) = 9.0144,
P = .003, than for the transection injury
model: F(1, 198) = 6.4826, P = .012. The
Student-Newman-Keuls range test for each
response day yielded significant differences
(P < .05) between the exposed and control
groups early in the beginning of functional
recovery and later on from the points
adjacent to the beginning of the plateau, or
95% of functional recovery, and the end of
observation. These differences probably
reflect the ISMF systemic effect on the
neuron cell bodies and increased and more
efficient reinnervation of the periphery.
