How To Use The Power Of Bio-magnetism To Heal Your Body And Improve Your Life

Part One

One of the most ancient forms of healing which has stood the test of time and has cured innumerable diseases that have often defied conventional remedies is Bio-magnetism.

Apart from being simple and inexpensive, unlike many drugs, it has no adverse side-effects. Furthermore, it does not involve medicines, potions or frightful injections that would terrify some ailing patients.

Although magnetic healing is still regarded as unconventional in some quarters, rather like hypnotherapy was forty years ago, it is now gradually gaining the recognition it deserves. Indeed, Dr. E.K.Maclean, when he was doing research in New York revealed that he had treated advanced cancer with electromagnetism. He stated that his research had proven that cancer cells cannot exist in a strong magnetic field.

Before explaining what Bio-magnetics is, I feel the following analogy might give the reader some idea of its feasibility in healing certain ailments.

No matter how beautiful a piano, harp or any other musical instrument may be to look at, if the vibration of its stings is not in accordance with its proper scale, the instrument will be considered out of tune and useless for all practical purposes.

However, this situation can be rectified by engaging the services of a tuner for whatever instrument needs attention.

Now, everybody knows that our body is made up of cells which are in fact tiny magnets. (Actually, the entire planet is a huge magnet.) These magnetic cells constitute all the organs of the human body and every organ produces its own magnetic energy field, limited in its power to its own particular assigned range. Due to the presence of various quantities of sodium, potassium and chloride within the different organs, electric currents of different strengths are generated which are inevitably associated with magnetic fields. Now the energy fields of every organ do not remain static but continuously fluctuate, subject to the state of human activity, i.e., rest, external influences and intake by the body in the shape of food and drink for the upkeep of physical health. For physical health to continue unhindered, it is vital that equilibrium in the individual magnetic fields and balance of these magnetic fields of different organs in maintained.

Any disturbance or abnormal fluctuations i.e. excessive rise or fall in the magnetic energy fields of a particular organ or organs is sure to affect normality in the working of the organs, which results in ailments of a mild or even serious nature.

Just as the sudden malfunction of the fuel pumps of a Jumbo Jet flying at 30,000 feet and travelling at 500 miles per hour would, to put it mildly, cause great concern to the pilot and crew, the disturbances caused even in a solitary organ of the human body can sometimes prevent the normal functioning of the entire human body, depending on the sensitive importance of the affected organ. Being able to measure the variance from normal makes diseases predictable, and changing these energy fields back to normal with magnets, changes the disease to health.

The practice of ‘Magneto Therapy' or ‘Magnetic Healing' is by no means new, but more about this later.

The application involves the selection of magnets of different strengths to relieve different ailments in various parts of the body, and is an art and science in itself.

It probably goes without saying, to anyone with a modicum of common sense, that it would be utterly useless to apply a magnet, regardless of strength, to a compound fracture sustained from the fall off a twenty foot ladder, or stop the bleeding of someone who had been repeatedly stabbed by some drink or drug crazed lunatic.

It would be equally true to state mental or psychotic disorders, not to mention the constant and varied complaints of chronic hypochondriacs would probably derive no benefit whatsoever from this treatment.

In short, Magneto Therapy is not a panacea. However, the types of pain that Magnetic Therapy may help alleviate includes: sprains, bruises, strains, swelling, upper back tension, headache pain, muscular pain and inflammation of joints, nerves and tendons. In addition to the aforementioned, according to some experts in Magneto Therapy, relief can also be obtained from many other ailments. To this end some companies market such aids as knee wraps, mattress pads and headbands, etc.

It is more convenient, for example, for people who suffer from back ache to wear a magnetic waist belt rather than loose magnets taped to the body.

If the magnets are detachable they may also be used to treat a wide range of complaints, by attaching the individual magnets to the body with adhesive tape.

The magnetic treatment for some respiratory system disorders come under this category, such as Nasal Polyps and the common cold. I will be outlining further details of how you may treat certain ailments, plus the importance of magnetised water, later in this app. In the meantime, I will return to the theme of just how old and reliable Magnetic Therapy is, and a possible exploration to why it has not received the publicity it deserves by the mainstream media.

The use of magnets as therapy devices has been practised for thousands of years. Cleopatra, the beautiful daughter of Egyptian King Tolemi, always wore a small magnet on her forehead with a view to preserving her beauty and youthfulness. Thieves often carried magnets with them in the belief that they would not be caught. A person would carry a magnet on his body to keep his beloved attracted to himself, or to bring about a reunion with a lost dear one.

Ancient Greeks were also acquainted with magnets. Renowned philosophers Aristotle, Plato and Homer have mentioned the properties of magnets in their works.

Till the end of the fifteenth century most people only knew of two properties:

• 1.) Its abilities to stabilise in the north -south direction if it hung freely, and-

• 2.) -Its ability to induce (though temporarily) magnetism in suitable substances which were in its contact or vicinity.

The property of magnets to point towards the North and South is still used, even today by navigators.

In the early sixteenth century, Swiss scientist Paracelsus claimed that magnets have healing properties.

Experiments with magnets are, at present, in progress throughout the world. Magnets find an important place in physics, chemistry and industry. Magnets have also proved effective as healing tools. That branch of science which strives to determine the effects of magnets on human beings is called Bio-magnetics.

Magnetic therapy is well advanced in Japan, China, India, Australia and Germany. There is also a growing interest from other countries including Great Britain, Holland, Canada and the United States.

The World Health Organisation published a study in 1987 that laid to rest the notion that magnets of the strength commonly used for therapeutic purposes have detrimental effects on the human body.

Other individual experts who have conducted their own intensive research have arrived at similar- and sometimes more radical- conclusions.

In ‘Health Naturally', April 1995, Ken Wiancko MD declared ‘In a search for a universal cure, none fits the description nearly as well as magnetic energy therapy. The application of magnets provides proven discomfort relief in seven out of ten users, as good as or better than orthodox medicine.'

Dr. Ulrich Warnke MD stated in ‘Magnets to Overcome Pain - A New Healing Method', that ‘Magnetic energy has a beneficial effect on blood circulation, lymph flow, hormone production, nerves and muscles.'

Although the contents of the two previous paragraphs are sweeping statements, it must be pointed out that magnetic therapy is still only recognised as an alternative cure by the powers that be. Indeed, some responsible manufacturers or distributors of magnetic products for the improvement of health, make it quite clear that their devices must not be used in place of medical treatment. Also, that persons with pacemakers or implanted medical devices must not use magnetic products, as it may interrupt the function of the pacemaker, etc. Pregnant women are also strongly advised not to use their products. 

Having said that, even allowing for the malpractices of charlatans, mountebanks and get-rich quick merchants who capitalise on their fellow human beings sufferings or misfortunes, it must be conceded by any open-minded person that there has to be some credence in the healing power of magnets, much of which is still being investigated. Why has this not been brought to the attention of the public by the media, with the same systematic force with which we are bombarded with masses of trivia, like who is having an affair with who and so on?

In his book, ‘A Betrayal of Trust'- a devastating exposure of certain hospitals, doctors and the National Health Service in particular- Dr. Vernon Coleman claims that it is in the financial interest of pharmaceutical companies NOT to promote any cures that would deprive them of the profits reaped from antibiotics, costly medicines, potent tablets or capsules and injections professing to bring quick relief.

As already stated, the system of treatment with magnets is gaining popularity in the advanced countries.

A large number of patients, including those suffering from chronic diseases, are being eased by it. It is therefore believed that if a large number of people start taking an interest in this system of treatment, it will spread out again and help to build a happier and healthier world of less suffering.

Some Practical Information

Magnetised Water

It has been seen during experiments that the magnetic field increases the centre of crystallisation in fluids. When exposed to a strong magnetic field, physical properties of water like density, viscosity, surface tension, electrical conductivity, etc. and chemical properties like pH, nitrogen ion concentration, undergo changes. Such water is termed ‘magnetised water'.

A number of experiments have been conducted in many countries, especially Russia, to determine the effects of magnetised water on living as well as non-living things.

The ‘water carrying capacity' of pipe-lines is gradually decreased by deposits of certain hard substances on the inner surfaces of pipes. The deposition reduces the efficiency of machines. A 1.5mm thick layer of deposits on the inner surface of pipes reduces the efficiency of the combustion engine of a car, by five horse power.

This leads to the elevation in fuel costs and a reduction of the engine's life.

When magnetised water is passed through such ‘blocked' pipes, the deposits are softened and gradually washed away. Thus, the pipes can be cleaned without hampering or stopping the work.

Motor-engineers have found ‘magnetised water' useful. Such water, when introduced to the radiator, washes away existing deposits and prevents the formation of fresh ones.

Magnetised water is also useful for construction work. When magnetised water is used, the strength of the cement has found to increase by 20-35 per cent. This cuts down future maintenance costs.

Plants and trees irrigated with magnetised water grow 20-40 per cent faster, are stronger and bear heavier fruit.

Cows, when given magnetised water, yield more milk.

The usefulness of magnetised water to man: Magnetised water, when drunk, favourably affects the health.

Magnetised water is useful against most diseases, especially those of the digestive, the excretory and the nervous systems.

Magnetised water improves digestion, reduces gastric acidity and cures flatulence. It is useful against constipation, as well.

Magnetised water can also relieve women of their menstrual problems.

Magnetised water, when consumed regularly, prevents the deposition of cholesterol on the inner surface of blood vessels. It has also been seen to decrease cholesterol deposits when drunk for a long period. This brings about an improvement in blood supply and nutrition to the various organs, including the heart.

Magnetised water is a diuretic and is useful in kidney troubles. A person suffering from anuria (no urination), when given magnetised water at ten minute intervals, experiences relief in an hour or two. Magnetised water can dissolve stones in the urinating system.

This water strengthens and invigorates the natural resistance power of the body. Hence, it is useful for the treatment of viral diseases, common cold, influenza, cough, asthma and most other diseases.

In France, there is a place called Evian, where people flock from all over Europe. Springs in Evian are believed to relieve joint trouble, obesity and urinary disorders. This ‘Evian Water' is bottled and sold all over France. It finds a place in all hotels and homes. This ‘Evian Water' is nothing but naturally magnetised water.

How To Magnetise Water

Strong magnets are necessary to magnetise water. Such strong magnets should be kept in contact with a glass or plastic bottle containing water. This contact should be maintained for about 24 hours. However, water influenced for 12-14 hours can also be used.

Usually, water influenced by both the poles (north as well as south) simultaneously should be consumed. For preparing such water, two magnets should be placed on either side of a bottle containing water so that the north pole of one magnet faces the south pole of the other magnet.

Water, magnetised by only one pole, may have to be used for specific problems. For example, in hyperacidity or gastric ulcer, water magnetised by south pole alone should be used.

On the other hand, for sluggish digestion, water magnetised by north pole alone can be used.

It should also be noted that for magnetising water, the magnets should be kept in contact with the water bottle from outside; they are not to be immersed in the water.

Magnetised water should not be heated or kept in a refrigerator. Once influenced by magnets, the water remains magnetised for about three to four days.

Like water, milk too can be magnetised, and its nutritional value enhanced.

Magnetised water should be taken three to five times a day, in doses about 100ml (half a glass). Small children may be given lesser quantities of water each time.

Magnetised water can also be used to wash eyes, to cleanse wounds and burns, and to flush out the intestines, (through an enema).

Magnets And Old Age

Everybody wants to stay young. Nobody likes old age and the things associated with it, therefore, the search for an elixir which will keep man young forever and will defer death, goes on and on.

Experiments with magnets have shown that a house-fly's lifespan could be doubled and a cat's lifespan could be increased by about 45 per cent.

Dr. Maclean, a gynaecologist from America, has performed a number of clinical experiments on various human diseases-especially cancer- with magnets. He found to his amazement that besides curing the disease, the magnets bestowed other benefits too. In some cases, grey hair of his old patients was found to revert back to the original black or brown colour. This was nothing but restoration of youth by magnets.

Ageing brings about certain undesirable changes in the body. Menopause is one such change. It causes a great deal of embarrassment and shock to the affected woman. Studies have indicated that this ageing is brought about by a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland.

The resistance power of the body depends, to some extent, on some cells including the T-lymphocytes manufactured by the thymus gland. These cells destroy the external germs which enter the body. After adolescence, the thymus gland gradually becomes inactive. Therefore, aged persons contract infections more easily than younger people.

Scientists believe that the thymus gland is rendered inactive by the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is considered responsible for suppressing the secretions of the thyroid gland, too. This has been proved by the experimental removal of the pituitary gland in animals. When the pituitary gland of old cats is removed, they have been seen, to a certain extent, to regain youth. But the human pituitary gland cannot be removed, because this gland serves other useful purposes as well. However, the activity of the pituitary gland can be adequately controlled by magnets.

It is well known that constant mental tension affects the body. The ageing hormone is secreted in greater quantities in a tense person. An overnight greying of hair following a tremendous shock is a well-known occurrence. On the other hand, people who take life lightly and do not allow emotions to rule their heads succeed in keeping senility at bay.

The pituitary gland can be controlled and mental peace can be maintain (or attained) with the south pole of a magnet. Scientists have claimed that if the south pole of a small magnet is applied to the forehead for about 15-30 minutes daily, ageing can be postponed and life can be prolonged. During the night, if a flat magnet is kept underneath the pillow, with its south pole facing upwards, it will keep the person's mind in peace, resulting in a deep and sound sleep. It will also keep away other electromagnetic disturbances, to which we are liable or prone.

Consumption of magnetised water, too, may contribute to the maintenance of youth.

•1.)    Headache

The south pole of a small magnet should be applied to the forehead for 15-20 minutes, as and when required. Usually one treatment proves sufficient. If not, it may be repeated after an hour or two. For persistent or recurring headache, repeat the treatment 2-3 times a day and stick (with sticking tape) the north pole of a small magnet to the muscular prominence between the thumb and the first finger. Magnetised water should be drunk 4-5 times a day.

Note: Steps should also be taken to relieve mental tension, constipation or colds.

•2.)    Neck Pain

The south pole of a small magnet (or magnet neck belt) should be applied to the paining part of the neck for 15-30 minutes.

•3.)    Toothache

The south pole of a small magnet should be applied to the cheek or the jaw, near the aching tooth, for 15-20 minutes.

Note: The only sound cure for a rotten tooth is extraction.

A Few Disorders Of The Respiratory System

•1.)    Nasal Polyps

The south pole of a magnet should be placed on either side of the nose for 15-30 minutes 2-3 times a day.

•2.)    Common Cold (Coryza)

Magnetised water should be drunk 4-5 times a day. The south and the north poles of two magnets should be kept either side of the nose for 10-15 minutes twice a day.

Note: Cold food and drink should be avoided. Inhalation of steam also helps.

•3.)    Asthma

The south pole of a strong magnet should be applied on one side and the north pole on the other side of the chest for 30-40 minutes 2-3 times a day. The north pole of a small magnet should also be stuck on the chest, on the mid-point of an imaginary line joining the two nipples. Magnetised water should be drunk 4-5 times a day.

Note: A magnetic chest belt can be worn to relieve an acute attack of asthma and a magnetic necklace may be continuously worn to relieve breathlessness of chronic asthma. This also helps to prevent acute attacks of asthma.

The present work is by no means exhaustive. It is just a brief panoply to give the reader an insight into an ancient and overlooked science which, thanks to the dedication of certain brave pioneers, unafraid of ridicule, might one day benefactor all mankind.
