Magnetics act on the body in many ways:
- They stimulate the acupuncture points and meridians. In
this way, they can be used for all kinds of problems, especially
for pain, fibromyalgia and muscle strains.
- They work on red blood cells because they contain iron.
I placed a round bullseye magnet on a nurse's knee bruise
following a ski injury. The next morning she had a perfect
bullseye pattern over her bruise!
- Most people report warmth and gentle tingling under the
magnets. Europeans have measured increased blood flow. Others
have seen this on thermograms too.
- They affect some chemical processes within and between
cells. Chemists use sensitive magnetic equipment to measure
simple and complex molecules. Researchers at Harvard found
that salt water passes a membrane quicker with a magnetic
field.
- They can affect nerve signals. High strength magnets can
cause anesthesia, through a principle in physics called
the Hall effect. Dr. Robert Becker (author of Body Electric)
put salamanders to sleep before surgery with electromagnets
more safely than anesthetics. Magnets can stop epileptic
seizures. They are also used to study and map nerve structures
deep in the brain, normally only accessible during brain
surgery.
I hope the above has helped to inform you about the exciting
new field of biomagnetics which has great potential to help
people. We are clearly seeing a new day in medical sciences
and health care with the expanded awareness and use of complementary
techniques of care.
Several books have been written on magnetic therapy. Check
your library or bookstore.
