Healing Power of Magnets
By Richard Dean Jenkins
Magnetic fields work much more quickly and effectively than heat, infrared light, anti-inflammatory drugs, trigger-point injections or microwave diathermy. It's likely to be four or six months before an injured skier or other athlete is back in play again from the conventional treatment of ice, followed by heat to reduce swelling. Heat alone will not stimulate therapeutic repair of injured tissue or muscle. An ample supply of nutrient-rich blood is needed. Healing requires resumption of normal blood flow to the injured site, not simply pain relief. In magnetic therapy, knee braces can be removed more quickly; weightlifters can reduce lower back pain; sciatica (inflammation of sciatic nerve running down the hip and thigh) and carpal tunnel syndrome can be relieved.
Osteopathic physician Sanford Paul,
Mercerville NJ, is convinced of the effectiveness of magnetic
therapy. "Though I use conventional medical methods I find that
the application of biomagnets has helped in some difficult
traumatic-injury cases. I feel that biomagnets should be part of
the total armamentarium of future physicians," he says. However,
"Unless used properly, their value is no greater than that of a
regular magnet."
Orthopedic chiropractor Kurt Vreeland, White River Junction, Vermont, physician for the U.S. Olympic ski jumping team, uses magnets for ski and other injuries. "I have used magnets with good results on everything from rotator cuff injuries to what they used to call in football 'hip-pointer'.

Combining the power of natural healing with the comfort of technology
Golfers Can Now Benefit From the Amazing Therapeutic Power of Magnets
By Martin Meyer, Herbologist - Nutritionist
You can obtain more energy, enhance your ability to focus and relieve chronic pain just by applying a magnetic bracelet or magnetic wrap. Are you tired of daily pain killers for knee pain, neck pain, sciatica, arthritis, bursitis, muscle pain, shoulder pain, tennis elbow, back pain. Then why not try magnetic therapy? The newest neodymium rare earth permanent magnets have helped millions and are used worldwide.
A powerful magnet smaller than a penny placed near a pain or injury may do wonders for you and relieve your pain as many have experienced. The magnetic field produced by permanent magnets is a safe natural energy source. There are no known harmful exposure levels and no limitations by Governmental agencies. All Magnet Force magnets are of the highest energy neodymium rare earth and are identified, differentiating between south pole and north pole.
SINCE THE EGYPTIANS
The science and use of Magnetic Therapy has been known ever since Egyptian times, and has been continuously practiced all over the world. Because many Americans have been fed up with the ever burdening cost of medical care and its sometimes failures, it has forced them to look for alternative therapies for their aches and pains. A host of therapies have surfaced some old, some new. Chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, herbal, vitamins, biofeedback, homeopathy, and permanent magnetic are just a few therapies offered. Magnetic therapy has the most appeal, because of its effectiveness. It is a natural therapy, non toxic, no pills, no needles, no salves, no side effects and most important, a one time low cost for everyone. Magnetic therapy, when coupled with professional therapy, proper nutrition and exercise, has proven to be the most effective and economical. Magnets can be used over and over, and will last for years.
BIOMAGNETISM IN THE HUMAN BODY
Biomagnetism works in the human body through the circulatory system, the nervous system and the endocrine system. Magnetism is continuously penetrating every known particle, right down to the single cell. Its ordering effect on living systems arise from the fact that magnetism is a blueprint of life itself. All known energies have, as a base, this electromagnetic field. The latest research indicates that magnetism has a very significant beneficial biological effect on human beings.
Blood contains ferrous hemoglobin (iron) that functions as a carrier of oxygen and carbon dioxide. As blood circulates the lungs, fully magnetized ferrous hemoglobin is able to transport more oxygen to cell tissue as well as taking more carbon dioxide waste from the cell back to the lungs for removal. This means more energy and less fatigue as tissue cells and internal organs stay substantially healthier. Also golfers report an energy reserve allowing their play on the 18th hole to match first tee energy, this in turn enables greater concentration and execution for your game. Magnetic bracelets and wraps recharge the body's magnetism. The body, like the earth, is a biomagnetic unit that vibrates at approximately 7.9 cycles per second direct current. Our electric devices, TV, computers, lights, appliances etc. vibrate at 60 cycles per second alternating current. Magnetic devices serve to balance the body and counter the deleterious excitement of the 60 cycle per second vibration.
Dr. Nakagawa, of Isuzu Hospital in Tokyo Japan, has identified a malady that he calls "Magnetic Deficiency Syndrome". It is believed that we call this problem Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
REACHING OUTER SPACE
Magnets are used in spacecraft to protect the astronauts from bone loss, disorientation, and other magnetic deficiencies. Magnetic Therapy is the cutting edge of a healing, health, energy boom that is sure to revolutionize the way we treat our bodies. Magnets will not only help your golf game it could also improve the length and quality of your life and that of your loved ones.

Sleep and Magnetic Mattress Pads?
by Bruce Spiegler, RMP, HHP
How does lack of sleep affect our lives?
Sleep is a key part of maintaining your health, affecting everything in your life, from how you feel to your relationships with others. Lack of sleep negatively affects your physical health, your ability to handle stress, and your general mood. Even one night of disrupted or missed sleep can reduce productivity and increase the chances of accidents at home or work.
Lack of sleep compromises your body's immune system and adversely affects metabolism and memory. On average, people are 50% less successful at simple memory tests after a sleepless night, because the entire brain's ability to function decreases.
One-in-three American adults (over 56 million) experience nighttime sleeplessness due to back pain, headaches, and muscle aches and pains, losing an average of 20 hours of sleep per month - the equivalent of nearly three full nights of sleep. More than 60% of adults over the age of 50 suffer from sleeplessness due to arthritic pain at night.
The earth's magnetic field is essential to all life
The earth's natural magnetic field plays an important role in maintaining proper electromagnetic balance of the body's internal systems. Currently, the earth's magnetic field measures 0.4 gauss. Several thousand years ago the earth's magnetic field measured 4 gauss, which was 1000% stronger than it is today.
Why is this happening?
Scientists are able to determine the alignment of the earth's magnetic poles, as well as the strength of the earth's magnetic field through measurements of iron-rich minerals in sediment samples taken from deep within the earth. Samples dating back 3 billion years have shown that the earth's magnetic poles reverse approximately every 200,000 years, which is believed to be the result of directional shifts in the earth's molten core.
Recently, a team of researchers at UCLA used super computers to analyze data from 33 of these samples, and re-create a history of the earth's magnetic field dating back 800,000 years. The computer model clearly showed that the earth's magnetic field declines dramatically over a several thousand-year period preceding a magnetic pole reversal. This data has lead many scientists believe that the rapid decline in the earth's magnetic field over the past several thousand years is a clear indication that a pole reversal is underway.
How does this affect us?
Scientists are now certain that the declining magnetic field detrimentally affects life on earth. In addition, many scientists believe that modern technology, such as steel structure buildings, cars, and trains absorb the earth's magnetic field, causing a further reduction in its strength.
Since these conditions are very recent developments in the history of man's existence on earth, it seems logical that the human body has not had time to adapt to the earth's rapidly decreasing magnetic field; hence the rapid increase in the rate of chronic illnesses worldwide. Following 20 years of research, Dr. Kyoichi Nagawa, a leading scientist in the field of biomagnetics, concluded that the much weaker magnetic field of modern times has caused what he has termed magnetic deficiency syndrome. The symptoms include stiffness in the shoulders, back and neck; insomnia; chest pains; headaches; and dizziness. The long-term consequences of magnetic deficiency syndrome include the development of chronic and degenerative diseases; the loss of normal healing ability; and increased susceptibility to infections and the effects of environmental toxins.
Can anything be done to help?
Dr. Nagawa, as well as other researchers and
medical professionals, believes that correcting this deficiency
can easily be accomplished by supplementing the earth's magnetic
field with a magnetic mattress pad using negative (north)
polarity. Double-blind clinical studies have shown that properly
designed magnetic mattress pads are effective in relieving
chronic pain and improving quality of sleep, and that pain
relief continued to improve over time.
A 12 month double-blind clinical test of magnetic mattress pads for pain relief in hospitalized patients was conducted at the Sanikukal Hospital, Tokyo Communications Hospital and Kouseikai Suzuki Hospital in Japan.
| Symptom | Total Cases | # of Positive | % of Total | # of No Results | % of Total |
| Neck & Shoulder Pain | 66 | 47 | 71.2% | 19 | 28.8% |
| Lower Back Pain | 76 | 61 | 80.3% | 15 | 19.7% |
| General Back Pain | 31 | 25 | 80.7% | 6 | 19.3% |
| Lower Limb Pain | 68 | 54 | 79.4% | 14 | 20.6% |
| Insomnia | 70 | 61 | 87.1% | 9 | 12.9% |
| Fatigue | 64 | 53 | 82.8% | 11 | 17.2% |
CONCLUSIONS: Out of 375 total subjects with symptoms in this study, 301 (80.27%) reported positive results. 74 cases (19.73%) reported no results.
A double-blind clinical study of magnetic mattress pad use in patients with Fibromyalgia was conducted at Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, MA:
CONCLUSIONS: Sleeping on a magnetic mattress pad, with a magnet surface field strength of 1100 +/- 50 Gauss, delivering 200-600 Gauss at the skin surface provides statistically significant and clinically relevant pain relief and sleep improvement in subjects with fibromyalgia. No adverse reactions were noted during the 16-week trial period.
Why magnetic therapy for better sleep?
Clinical studies have shown that a properly designed magnetic sleep system provides many benefits to those suffering from nighttime pain and sleeplessness, and those waking up with stiff or sore muscles. An important caviat when purchasing magnetic therapy products manufactured overseas is that the magnets used are typically very small, with very low energy and limited penetration depth (less than 2"). It is also common for the magnets to be facing the wrong way in imported mattress pads, which can actually disturb sleep rather than enhance it.
There is a good reason that magnetic mattress pads vary widely in price so keep in mind why you are looking in the first place - to feel better. Select a product that provides the proper strength magnetic field and comfort level for your specific needs.
A direct manufacturer located in the U.S. who ensures the quality, strength and integrity of their magnetic products is Inc. They offer an extensive professional magnetic therapy product line, which includes four magnetic sleep systems designed to address different levels of pain and difficulty sleeping. Several of the sleep systems are made with memory foam.

Chronic pain causes sleep disturbances
By Rita Cowan,Ph.D., RN
A common but usually undiagnosed and untreated symptom of chronic pain is sleep disturbance. When people suffer with pain, their sleep quality is often disrupted, making the sensation of pain worse. The sleep state is required for humans to rejuvenate and repair the body. When sleep problems occur, the body is hampered in performing its important functions. In "healthy" people, this is a problem; for those who suffer with pain, it becomes especially difficult.
A position paper from the important pain conference at the National Institute of Health strongly recommended that health care providers who treat people with pain take special note to monitor their patients' sleep patterns and any disturbances.
When evaluating sleep disturbances, it is necessary to identify what type the patient experiences:
Difficulty falling asleep,
Difficulty maintaining sleep,
Early morning arousal. It is not unusual for many people with pain to suffer with all three types of sleep disturbances.
For people with pain, the most common reason for sleep problems is the pain itself. Many patients feel exhausted and, while they may eventually be able to fall asleep, they are awakened throughout the night due to their pain.
Better Sleep Yields Better Memory and Learning
By Carrie Carlisle
Nov.28 (CBSHealthWatch) - Don't skip getting enough sleep tonight if you want to remember today's lessons, according to new research published in the current issue of Nature Neuroscience.
The study found people who get a good night's sleep after learning a simple skill perform better when tested on the same skill days later. Those findings lend support to the notion that sleep is important in memory development and learning.
For the study, researchers asked 24 college students to identify diagonal bars as they flickered on a computer screen during a 60- to 90-minute training session. Half of the students agreed to remain awake until 9 the next evening. The others slept as usual.
Researchers re-tested both groups three days after their initial training. Despite two nights of unlimited catch-up sleep, the students in the sleep-deprived group showed no improvement on the visual test, says Robert Stickgold, assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and lead author of the study.
The students in the control group, however, proved to be approximately 25% faster than they had been during the training session.
Researchers Gain Understanding of Sleep Loss and Fatigue
HERSHEY, PA -- August 20, 1999-- New research from Penn State's College of Medicine shows that even one night of disrupted or missed sleep by a healthy person can drastically alter a person's chemical balance and cause daytime sleepiness and fatigue. The results of such sleep deprivation can reduce productivity as well as increase the chances of accidents at home or at work.
Previous research had shown that obese people and those with sleep problems such as sleep apnea who experienced excessive daytime sleepiness had higher levels of interleukin6 (IL-6) in the blood during the day.
"This new research shows that in young, healthy people who had no sleep problems, that IL-6 was elevated the next day when they were denied sleep," explains Alexandros Vgontzas, M.D., associate professor of psychiatry and a psychiatrist at The Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. "We also know that excessive daytime sleepiness occurs in about 5 percent of the population, so a better understanding of the mechanisms of sleep could help millions of people."
IL-6 is a cytokine -- proteins that act as regulators in immune function, metabolism and sleep.
Vgontzas and his colleagues' paper titled, "Circadian Interleukin-6 Secretion and Quantity and Depth of Sleep," is published in the August issue of The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and metabolism.
Vgontzas and his team studied eight healthy young men between the ages of 20 and 29. They were all in general good health, physically active but not excessively, had no sleep complaints and were not taking any medications. Each subject took part in the experiment that lasted seven days. Each subject spent four consecutive nights in the sleep lab and was able to have a normal night of sleep. Blood was taken every half-hour for 24 hours to measure IL-6. On the fifth night subjects were made to stay up and not sleep at all. They were allowed to sleep again on nights six and seven.
"As we had thought, the amount of IL-6 in the blood was greatly increased during the day following the missed night of sleep. Subjects secreted the IL-6 during the day rather than at night. Their bodies wanted to sleep so they experienced daytime fatigue," explains Vgontzas.
Another finding of the study was that light sleep was associated with increased amount of IL-6 during the day while a good night's sleep was associated with decreased day time secretion of IL-6 and a good sense of well being. This finding means that good sleep is associated with decreased exposure of tissues to the potentially harmful actions of IL-6 on the cardiovascular system and bones. In addition, this study demonstrated that healthy people with greater amounts of deep sleep are inherently more capable of tolerating sleep loss, possibly avoiding exposure to the potentially harmful effects of increased IL-6 secretion.
The National Institutes of Health and Penn State's College of Medicine sponsored this work.. Vgontzas and his team plan further sleep studies into IL-6, including testing agents that might neutralize the secretion of IL-6.
Having Trouble Sleeping?
Magnetic Therapy Solutions to Improve Sleep due to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and other causes of insomnia.
By Bruce Spiegler, RMP, HHP
The Facts...
Sleep is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, and is essential if you are to feel your best during the day. Sleep requirements vary widely, but most adults need seven to eight hours of sleep a night.
Lack of sleep impairs your ability to function properly during the day. 1-in-3 American adults (over 56 million) lose 20 hours of sleep each month due to nighttime pain and sleeplessness. That's the equivalent of three full nights of sleep.
Those who complain of nighttime pain experience back pain most, followed by headaches, muscular aches and pains, and arthritis pain.
Sleep loss decreases the entire brain's ability to function, most significantly impairing the areas of the brain responsible for attention, complex planning, complex mental operations, and judgment. Until recently, most scientists did not believe that lack of sleep caused any significant physical problems. A study at the University of Chicago, Dept. of Medicine found that sleep debt has a harmful effect on endocrine function and carbohydrate metabolism and may increase the severity of chronic disorders, including the sensation of pain. The impact of lack of sleep on the body is astounding. When healthy young men in there 20's were allowed only four hours sleep per night for six consecutive nights their blood test results nearly matched those of diabetics. In addition, they had elevated levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which can lead to hypertension and memory impairment.
How do the seasons affect our sleep?
The process of sleep is not fully understood, but we do know that when it is dark, the pineal gland (a magnetically sensitive gland located in the center of the brain) secretes a hormone called melatonin, which is believed to induce sleep. The results of a study conducted at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York on "seasonal affective disorder" found there is strong indication that changes in the earth's magnetic field alter melatonin secretion by the pineal gland, which synchronizes our circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms control our sleep/wake cycle, also known as our biological clock. During the winter months the earth's magnetic field diminishes in strength, leading to increased susceptibility for desynchronization of circadian rhythms and "seasonal affective disorder," characterized by recurrent winter depression associated with hypersomnia, overeating, and carbohydrate craving. The study also found that when the earth's magnetic field is shielded it significantly desynchronizes man's circadian rhythms, which could gradually be resynchronized with the application of a supplemental magnetic field. The practical application of which would be to sleep on a magnetic mattress or mattress pad.
Pain and sleep...
Difficulty in sleeping (insomnia) can take various forms or patterns: difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, and early wakening. Pain effects sleep patterns: arthritis, leg cramps, fibromyalgia, restless legs syndrome, and other forms of musculoskeletal pain can all interfere with your sleep patterns.
The most common reason for sleep problems for people with pain is the pain itself. While people with discomfort may eventually be able to fall asleep, the pain awakens them throughout the night, and they feel exhausted the next day. Although they may get many hours of sleep, they are fatigued during the day due to poor quality of sleep.
Sleep consists of two very different states: rapid-eye-movement (REM) and Non-REM sleep. In REM sleep (when dreams occur) your eyes move under your lids, your heartbeat quickens, your body processes speed up, and you toss and turn, which further aggravates a painful condition. Many people wake up in the morning feeling stiff or sore, which can also be a sign that your mattress is no longer comfortable or supportive.
There are several stages of Non-REM sleep, but we will concern ourselves with the deepest stage (stage 4). During this time the body repairs itself and restores lost energy, utilizing a hormone called somatostatin. Lack of stage 4 sleep is believed to be an important factor in chronically painful conditions such as fibromyalgia.
Improving the quality of your sleep...
For anyone who experiences even minor difficulty in sleeping, some simple, common sense measures to help you sleep are:
- Avoid alcoholic drinks in the late evening. Alcohol may help sleep onset, but can cause early morning wakefulness.
- Cut back on coffee, tea, and other sources of caffeine, especially in the evening.
- Avoid eating a large, late-evening meal and heavy, fatty foods before going to bed.
- Listen to some relaxing music or do some light relaxation exercise such as yoga before going to bed.
- Don't use your bedroom as a place to work.
- Take a warm (NOT HOT) bath (not a shower) before going to bed.
- Avoid naps if they interfere with your normal sleep pattern.
- If unable to fall asleep within 20-30 minutes of lying down, get up and do something else until you feel sleepy. This way your body does not associate your bed with wakefulness.
Exercise during the day. -For those of you with difficulty sleeping due to nighttime pain or suffer from other forms of insomnia, complementary and alternative therapies are noninvasive and tend to be free of side effects. They enhance physical and emotional well-being and help to relieve and control your symptoms. They are also an important part of an overall wellness program to help maintain your health.
Clinical studies have shown that a properly designed magnetic sleep system provides many benefits to those suffering from nighttime pain and sleeplessness, and those waking up with stiff or sore muscles. Advanced Biomagnetics Sleep Systems takes magnetic sleep systems use a multi-therapeutic approach for reducing pain and stress to improve the quality of your sleep.
