The importance of magnetic energy in order for human beings to maintain life cannot be overemphasised. Today modern life consists of buildings, cars, trains, buses, television, radio, computers, cellular phones, etc., which cause electromagnetic pollution and isolates humans from the earth’s natural magnetic field. These many artificially created electromagnetic energy fields exert stress on the body cells causing us to feel weak and tired. There is also proof that the earth’s natural magnetic energy is diminishing, as is the case with any magnet over time. This explains why the human race is being “tortured” today with all kinds of known and unknown diseases. Magnetic therapy offers humans a way to restore depleted magnetic energy levels and maintain good health.

HOW DOES MAGNETIC THERAPY WORK?

Magnetic therapy is based on the same principles of magnetic energy in nature. Magnetic energy penetrates the skin and is absorbed in the blood flowing in the capillaries contained throughout the skin. It reaches the main blood stream, which is fed by the blood in these capillaries. The magnetic energy is absorbed in the blood due to the iron content contained by the haemoglobin in the blood. An electric current is created in the blood stream, which carries the magnetic energy to all the various parts of the body. The stimulation supplied by the magnetic energy causes the blood vessels to expand, blood circulation is enhanced and the flow of nutrition (food & oxygen) to all body cells and the elimination of toxins are improved. The pH levels of the blood, cells, tissues and hence organs are restored. This balanced environment optimises the functioning of all body organs allowing the body to heal itself. Buryl Payne (in Magnetic Healing p xii) states: “Magnetic forces help the body to heal itself by stimulating the biochemistry of the body so natural healing can take place.” Magnetic therapy has an affect on the whole body irrespective of the area it is applied to and the effect is retained in the body for several hours, even after the magnetic field is removed.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MAGNETIC THERAPY?

1. The haemoglobin’s ability to absorb oxygen molecules improves.  Therefore the capacity of oxygen in the blood stream is increased, which improves the body’s energy levels.
2. Inactive blood cells are strengthened and the number of blood cells is increased.
3. The blood vessels expand slightly, which implies that an increased volume of blood reaches the body cells. Nutrition is supplied and toxins are removed faster and more effectively. Cholesterol is reduced and waste products are removed from the walls of the blood vessels reducing blood pressure.
4. The migration of calcium ions is changed. Calcium ions are either added (to heal broken bones) or taken away (from arthritic joints).
5. The pH balance of the body fluids is stabilised (acid/alkaline).
6. Hormone production and release is increased or decreased according to the body’s requirements at the time of treatment.
7. The activities of enzymes are altered according to body requirements.
8. The speed at which body cells are renewed is increased. Hence, it has an anti-aging effect.
9. It assists in regulating the functioning of the nerves

WHICH CONDITIONS CAN BE TREATED BY MAGNETIC THERAPY?

1. Stiffness and weakness in the hands, feet, arms, legs, shoulders and hips.
2. Digestive problems for example poor digestion, gastritis, etc.
3. Metabolic disorders for example decrease the production of insulin.
4. Clears infections and inflammatory diseases.
5. Relief of pain in any part of the body, caused by various conditions.
6. Cancers and boils.
7. Injuries like burns and wounds.
8. Bleeding due to weak tissues or organs, for example bleeding of the gums.
9. Various forms of arthritis.
10. Broken bones and joints.
11. Kidney infections and kidney stones.
12. Sprains in any part of the body.
13. Respiratory disorders, for example asthma, bronchitis, etc.
14. Skin problems, for example acne, eczema, etc.

Magnetic therapy is part of the holistic approach to health and disease. The aim is not to treat a specific disease, but rather to provide the body with the optimal conditions under which it can heal itself. As mentioned previously, the whole body will be affected by magnetic therapy irrespective of the area of the body it is applied to. A wider variety of diseases and dysfunctions are therefore affected. Dr. Kenneth McLean of the Institute of Magnetics in New York states: “Exposure to compatible magnetic fields was at least beneficial in every ailment, and harmful to none. Magnetic treatment is a Godsend, and good for almost any condition” (Medical Magnets p1).

CASE STUDIES

• Treatment for gangrene - Mrs. Jones, 52, started MPFT for the treatment of gangrene. The circulation in her left foot was extremely poor and no pulse could be detected in this foot. Her left heel was black and had a large blister, and the little toe of her left foot was purlpe. The blister disappeared, the heel was in the process of healing, the little toe recovered completely and a pulse could be detected in her foot after 18 magnetic pulsating field treatments.
• Fractured the radius of the right arm - Miss Woods, 22, fractured the radius of the right arm. After recieving 6 MPFT treatments in 3 weeks, x-rays were taken of the fracture. It was healing much faster than normal. The plaster was replaced with only a bandage 3 weeks prior to the anticipated removal of the plaster.

• Shot in the right lower leg - Mr. Ashburn, 34, after being shot in the right lower leg damaging his tibia bone, found it difficult to walk and was told that the healing of the bone was not progressing well and it was a great concern to the medical profession. Treatment with MPFT was done 3-4 times weekly for 30 minutes at a time and already after 6 weeks, great improvement was seen on the x-rays. After 15 weeks the plaster was removed and surgery cancelled.

• Server neck tensing - Mrs. Casper was suffering with server neck tensing and wore neck support. She was scheduled for an operation but decided to postpone and try MPFT first. 3 treatments a week were administered and already after the second treatment the pain had diminished a lot. A week later the support system was removed and treatment continued. After 10 weeks felt that maintenance treatments done once a week was enough.
